Healthy discoms, round-the-clock green energy to fuel 24x7 power supply focus areas in 2023

As part of efforts for 24x7 power supply, Singh said the focus will be mainly on rural areas as urban areas are already getting almost round-the-clock supply of electricity. In 2012, the electricity shortage was around 9 to 10 per cent and it came down to 4.5 per cent in 2013, in energy terms. It is just 0.4 per cent in 2022, meaning there is no shortage, Singh pointed out.
