## UNSTARRED QUESTION NO.2584 ANSWERED ON 17.03.2022

## POWER TRANSMISSION AND DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM

†2584. SHRI SADASHIV KISAN LOKHANDE:

Will the Minister of POWER be pleased to state:

- (a) whether there is any discrepancy in production, transmission and distribution of power in the country;
- (b) if so, the details thereof;
- (c) whether the Government  proposes to strengthen transmission and distribution of power in the country;
- (d)
- (e)
- if so, the details thereof; and
- the steps proposed to be taken by the Government in this regard?

## A N S W E R

THE MINISTER OF POWER AND NEW & RENEWABLE ENERGY

(SHRI R.K. SINGH)

(a) to (e) :    There is no discrepancy in production, transmission and distribution of power in the country.  The installed generation capacity is around 395.6 GW which is adequate to produce electricity to meet the demand of electricity.  The maximum  demand  during  the  current year was  around 203 GW. The transmission system is also robust and capable of transmitting the power from generating  station  to  the  States  /  Discoms  who  in  turn  through  distribution system are able to distribute electricity to the consumers.

The robust national grid is facilitating transfer of power from surplus regions  to  deficit  regions  without  any  transmission  constraints.  The  interregional  transmission  capacity  has  been  increased  from  35,950  MW  as  on 31.03.2014  to  1,12,250  MW  as  on  28 th  February,  2022.  The  capacity  of  the electricity  Grid  is  being  expanded  on  a  continuous  basis  matching  with  the growth in electricity generation and electricity demand.

The  transmission  systems  are  mostly  built  through  tariff  based competitive  bidding  route.    However,  the  Central  Government  is  also  funding same Transmission schemes worth around Rs.16,000/- crore in UT of J&K, UT of Ladakh and North Eastern States. The intra-State transmission lines are built by the State transmission companies.

In order to meet the growing demand of the electricity consumers, the distribution network  also requires  upgradation  and  augmentation  on continuous basis, which are undertaken by the distribution companies under the oversight of State Commissions. The Central Government is also assisting the States for creation/augmentation  of  distribution infrastructure through  its various schemes including Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Gram Jyoti Yojana (DDUGJY), Integrated  Power  Development  Scheme  (IPDS),  and  Revamped  Distribution Sector  Scheme  (RDSS)  to  enable  them  to  achieve  the  objective  of  providing uninterrupted power supply to all consumers.  The new scheme RDSS has an outlay  of  Rs.3,03,785/-  crore  and  an  estimated  gross  budgetary  support  of Rs.97,631/- crore from Central Government.

(b)  to  (e)  Yes,  Sir. During  migration  to  VAHAN  4.0  database,  emission standards  of  vehicles  registered   between  2005  to  2018  have  been recorded with wrong standards in Ghaziabad RTO. The State Transport Department has taken up the issue with National Informatics Centre (NIC) to rectify such anomalies on priority basis. As per records available with the  RTO  Ghaziabad,  vehicle  bearing  Registration  Number  UP  14  AZ 5314   complies  with  BS-III  emission  norms.  The  said  vehicle  was registered  on  25.01.2010  under  the  category  of  emission  norms  'Not Applicable'. It is because of this that PUCC is not being issued. The State Transport Department has taken necessary action to update the emission standards.
