NEW DELHI: The government has given states two more months till December 31 to enrol for funding under the Centre’s Rs 3 lakh crore distribution reforms scheme, power minister R K Singh said after reviewing steps taken by states to improve power infrastructure.
Singh told top power officials of states that the focus should be on 24×7 quality power and consumer satisfaction now that universal access has been achieved by electrifying nearly 3 crore households.
The norms issued last week for funding under the scheme asked discoms (distribution companies) to apply by October 31. The deadline for submitting DPRs (detailed project reports) would be December 31.
