The scheme provides an outlay of INR3.037t and an estimated INR976.3b GBS from the Central Government.

The government also put in place several interventions to improve the financial and operational efficiencies of distribution companies (DISCOMS) in India.

This includes the Liquidity Infusion Scheme (LIS), and additional borrowing of 0.5% of GSDP to states linked to power sector reforms.

The government also introduced additional prudential norms for lending by Power Finance Corporation Limited and REC Limited based on the performance of utilities.
