In the wake of massive blackouts this past summer that spanned 20 Indian states and left half of the country’s population without power, the national cabinet approved a debt restructuring program for State Electricity Boards (SEBs) in September aimed at improving the functioning and viability of India’s electricity sector. SEB debt across all states is currently over US$35 billion, or about 2 percent of the nation’s GDP.
Sa kalagayan ng malawakang pagkawala ng kuryente na ito nakaraang tag-init na spanned 20 Indian estado at iniwan ang kalahati ng populasyon ng bansa na walang kapangyarihan, inaprubahan ng pambansang cabinet isang programa restructuring utang para sa Estado Elektrisidad Board (SEBS) noong Setyembre naglalayong mapabuti ang gumagana at posibilidad na mabuhay ng Indya ang sektor ng koryente.
