Source: National Sample Survey Organization (1998). Notes:
The figure includes the major states for which data were available. The states are ordered according to the agricultural tariff rate. Because lower subsidy rates are associated with higher agricultural tariffs, the rate of electricity subsidy to agriculture declines from the left-hand side to the right-hand side of the figure.
