A push for 24×7 power supply, hydro power, a policy on restoration of power cuts, smart metering, and the resolution of stressed power assets —these are elements of the 100-day agenda of the National Democratic Alliance government for the power sector.
Raj Kumar Singh who has retained independent charge of ministry of power and new and renewable energy has also been given independent charge of ministry of skill development and entrepreneurship.
While taking charge of the ministry on Friday, Singh said the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government’s next agenda is to ensure 24×7 power supply for all. “In the last few years, we ensured electricity reaches every home; now reliability, sustainability and affordability of power will be the priority,” he added.
