Many power sector reforms are being introduced by the Government to bring efficiency, promote decarbonisation, and ensure (24X7) reliable, and affordable power supply.
With industrial and commercial sector together accounting for nearly 50 per cent of the country’s electricity consumption, the resumption of economic activity post relaxation of pandemic restrictions has made a positive impact on the overall demand.
