Additional  grant  (i.e.  conversion  of  50%  of  loan  component)  under  the scheme is subject to achievement of following milestones:

- (i) Timely completion of the scheme as per laid down milestones.
- (ii) Reduction  in  AT&C  losses  as  per  trajectory  finalized  by  MOP  in  consultation with State Governments (DISCOM-wise).
- (iii) Upfront release of admissible revenue subsidy by State Govt. based on metered consumption.

The  funding and execution pattern of "DDUGJY" are broadly streamlined.

(d) : The Scheme envisages feeder separation, strengthening of subtransmission & distribution network including metering and rural electrification. Thus, the scheme helps in ensuring uninterrupted supply of electricity to the rural areas.
