Srinagar: The Jammu and Kashmir’s Aggregate Technical and Commercial (AT&C) power losses, which are the highest among all states and Union Territories (UTs) in the country, continue to be over 50 percent, depleting J&K’s coffers.
“The AT&C losses of the J&K Power Department are one of the highest in the country. The present AT&C losses are of the order of 50 percent against the national average of 19.73 percent. Due to these losses, the gap between power purchase cost and revenue realisation is huge,” reads a note from the J&K government.
