## LOSSES OF DISCOMS

3163. SHRI SHIVKUMAR UDASI:

Will the Minister of POWER be pleased to state:

- (a) the details of the State DISCOMS which are running in loss;
- (b) whether  UDAY  is  failing  to  bring  in  new  dawn  for  the  State-run power distribution sector; and
- (c) if  so,  the  details  thereof,  and  the  details  of  the  estimated  targets and results achieved so far, State-wise?

## A N S W E R

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

( SHRI  PIYUSH GOYAL )

(a) : As  per  'Report  on  Performance  of  State  Power  Utilities' published  by  Power  Finance  Corporation  (PFC)  Ltd.,  the  details  of  State DISCOMs which are running losses during the financial year 2014-15, are given at Annexure.

(b) & (c) :    Interventions under UDAY including reduction in interest costs & cost of power and efficiency gains have yielded encouraging results.

The participating states have already issued Bonds of approximately  Rs.2.32  Lakh  Crore,  which  addresses  86%  of  the  debt envisaged in Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) executed under UDAY. As per the unaudited data submitted by States, the participating states have  achieved  an  improvement  of  1.07%  in  Aggregate  Technical  & Commercial  (AT&C)  losses  and  Rs.0.13  a  Unit  in  ACS-ARR  gaps  in  FY 2017. However, different states have different trajectories since they have joined UDAY at different time.
