NEW DELHI: Top level vacancies hamper the functioning of electricity regulatory commissions, the power ministry has cautioned states and asked them to fill up the vacancies in a time-bound manner to avoid impact on supply or investments.

Efficient and effective functioning of SERCs is essential for sustenance as well as development of electricity sector,” power secretary said in a letter to chief secretaries of states & Union Territories.
