The Centre has granted additional borrowing permission of `28,204 crore to 10 states to undertake stipulated reforms in the power sector in FY22, indicating reluctance of most of the states to take measures to improve the financial health of state power distribution companies (discoms).
The additional conditional borrowing window utilisation was only 28% of the stipulated Rs 1 trillion or 0.5% of aggregate GSDP available to all states for the last financial year.
