Union Minster R K Singh Sunday said the aim of the Centre is to have “One Nation One Grid” and pay damages to consumers in case of load sheddings.
The government will soon go ahead with structural reforms to achieve the objective of “One Nation One Grid”, Finance Minister NirmalaSitharaman had said in her budget speech earlier this month.
“The government will pay damages (to consumers) if load sheddings happen,” the Union Power Minister said without elaborating.
The ministry would seek the Union Cabinet’s nod for the power tariff policy in next few days, which would provide for penalty for unscheduled power cuts except in the case of technical faults or act of God (natural calamities), Singh had said on the day of tabling the Union budget.
