Rising discom dues likely arrested in September
NEW DELHI: With power consumption breaching the pre-Covid mark in September, power distribution companies (discom) are likely to have arrested the sharp increase in debt seen over the past few months.
According to data from government sources, discoms’ pending dues to power suppliers stood at a whopping Rs 1.33 lakh crore at the end of August —a whopping 37.7 per cent higher than last year. However, taken on a month-on-month basis, there has been a huge deceleration in the pace at which discoms were adding debt since March this year.
