T&D losses and power theft have to be addressed in a flagrantly strict manner – arrest the power stealers and publicise their conviction
In April first week, Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit promised that there would be “no power cuts in the capital this summer.” This promise held well for one week in some localities. In other states, the less said about power the better.
As per a recent report, the Planning Commission has revealed that the combined losses of public sector discoms, which were to the tune of Rs.40,000 crores in 2009-10, could swell up to a shocking Rs.68,000 crores in the current financial year. It has been widely seen that the reason for such huge losses is because of faulty T&D (transmission and distribution) systems. The fact is that more than one-third of electricity supplied gets lost in T&D and a similar substantial part is stolen. Presently, the T&D losses can go up to 40-50% in many states; compared with China where the figure is less than 3%. India’s T&D losses are the highest in the world as per a report by WRI.
