AT & C losses Buck has to stop now

Govt has very righty aimed at zero T&D loss regime by 2019.

Present is very gloomy, thanks to buleet not being bitten by successive administrations.

Power sector of states in India is marred by corruption.  As a result, if we give more electricity to people, more loss we make.


Some facts:

  • India is world's 3rd largest producer and consumer of electricity.
  • 28 Crore people have no access to electricity.
  • Per capita consumption is just 1000 MW, China is 3000, US is 10,000.
  • Peak Demand 165 GW, Capacity 270 GW :-)
  • Distribution losses INR 4 lakh crore.
  • Loss making states: Raj, UP,Haryana,JH,TN,AP,Telengana,Bihar.

Financial Restructuring Plans ( FRPs) have failed miserably.

Ironically, India has surplus power, but people in dark. Meanwhile, the country remains busy in elections.
