## A N S W E R

THE MINISTER OF STATE (INDEPENDENT CHARGE) FOR POWER, COAL, NEW & RENEWABLE ENERGY AND MINES

( SHRI  PIYUSH GOYAL )

(a) & (b) : Distribution is the interface with the consumers and assumes an important role in Power Sector value chain. Thus, the Government of India has been laying emphasis on  improving  the  Distribution  infrastructure  by  launching  various  programmes/schemes such as Integrated Power Development Scheme (IPDS), Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Gram Jyoti Yojana  (DDUGJY)  and  Ujwal  DISCOM  Assurance  Yojana  (UDAY)  to  improve  operational efficiency of the power distribution system and revenue realization of the DISCOMs.

(c) to (e) : The Installed  capacity of  Generation  assets in the  country as on 12.7.2017 was 3,29,931MW. The peak demand and demand met in the year 2016-17 was 1,59,542 MW and  1,56,934  MW  respectively.  Improvement  in  Transmission  and  Distribution  system reduces  energy  losses.  The  Government  of  India,  in  consultation  with  the  States,  have decided to reduce the Aggregate Technical and Commercial (AT&C) losses as per details given in the Annexure.

The Government of India has signed Agreements with all States and Union Territories (UTs) under '24X7 Power for all' arrangements under which States/ UTs have committed  to  targets  across  Generation,  Transmission  and  Distribution  sector  with  the objective of ensuring 24X7 power to all consumers.
