The Delhi government on Wednesday decided to raise the circle rate of agricultural land from Rs 53 lakh per acre to anything between Rs 2.25 crore and Rs 5 crore per acre.

The decision was taken in a cabinet meeting that was chaired by Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal.

It was also decided that commercial electricity connections at chambers of lawyers will be converted to domestic, allowing them to avail benefits like free electricity to up to 200 units of consumption a month.

"The cabinet decision to revise the circle rate of agricultural land will be sent to the Lieutenant Governor for his approval. I think there will be no problem and he will extend his approval," Kejriwal said in a press conference after the cabinet meeting.
