Details
During the past one-and-a-half years, when the electricity sector has been able to supply fuel supply (highest production in two decades) to production (the highest capacity addition till now) transmission (the highest ever increase in transmission lines) and consumption (2.3 million More LED bulbs were distributed) till all the value chain has recorded a historic improvement; Irnaik step.
The weakest link distribution in the price chain has been done, where electricity distribution companies (discoms) across the country have registered a cumulative loss of about Rs 3.8 lakh crore and the debt of about 4.3 lakh crore (till March 2015) is outstanding. Victim of financial burden Discom companies are unable to supply sufficient electricity at affordable rates which inhibit the level of life and overall affects the economic progress and development.
Due to issues inherited, Discom Companies are trapped in the vicious circle of losses, in which operating losses are financed by the debt. Outstanding loans from Discom Companies increased from about 2.4 lakh crore in 2011-12 to 14.55 per cent during 2014-15 to 4.3 lakh crore rupees.
All the villages of the country cannot be accumulated in the form of electrification, 24-hour power supply and discom grouping without clean energy. Power deductions adversely affect national priorities like ‘Make in India’ and ‘Digital India’. In addition, the risks of severe financial loss to the banking sector and the overall economy of the country, due to default by the discoms of financial pressures, are to be done by bank loans.
