"Ever since Yogi Adityanath has taken over as the chief minister of Uttar Pradesh, he has left the fate of power sector in the state to its corporation and that there is no political intervention in functioning of the power corporation," UPERC chairman Suresh Kumar Agarwal was quoted as saying in a statement issued by industry body PHDCCI.
He further said that with the new administration at the helm in the state, the corporation authorities are taking punitive actions to recover power dues, and this is the perceptible change one can notice in the power sector of UP.
Even after launch of UDAY, the overall conditions of discoms have hardly improved as these continue to struggle on financial front and that these still suffer financial losses that they have hardly any money to improve upon their infrastructure, he said.
The overhaul in the bidding documents and PPAs (power purchase agreements) would also channelise generators and power producers to solve their past problems and even court related disputes, said Agarwal adding that currently 30,000 to 40,000 MW of power is lying idle on account of inefficient infrastructure.
