Interventions from the central government have saved electricity distribution companies (DISCOMs) from financial crunch numerous times in the past.
CSTEP has developed a framework for feeder-wise revenue analysis and monitoring of energy sales (FRAMES) at the 11 kV-feeder level.
India has deployed roughly 300 MW of rooftop solar (RTS) capacity in the first quarter of 2020, taking the overall RTS capacity to 5.
India has set an ambitious rooftop solar photovoltaic target of 40 GW by 2021-22.
In yet another attempt to rescue the power distribution sector, the central government launched a new “reforms-based result-linked” scheme in this year’s Union Budget.
Rooftop solar is expected to play a major role in India’s 280 GW solar target for 2030.
Rooftop photovoltaic (RTPV) systems are intended to contribute 40 GW of India's 100 GW solar target.
CSTEP studied the implementation of the Ujwal DISCOM Assurance Yojana (UDAY) in Karnataka.
The agricultural sector in Karnataka accounts for 39% of the state’s electricity (~21,344 MU).

While DISCOMs are working towards bringing down the AT&C loss through several initiatives, streamlining the current energy audit process in DISCOMs could be a game changer.
The launch of Ujwal DISCOM Assurance Yojana (UDAY) in November 2015 gave new hope to the ailing distribution companies (DISCOMs) in India.
An important concern with distribution companies (DISCOMs) is the wide gap between the costs incurred and the revenue realised by them.
Integral to UDAY, smart meters can help discoms overhaul services.
The Indian power-distribution sector has been plagued with inherent issues of high aggregate technical and commercial (AT&C) losses and a wide gap between the cost incurred and revenue realised.
