OBSERVATIONS/COMMENTS
1. Analysis of the above data indicates that performance of the DISCOMs has not
been very satisfactory. It appears that the DISCOMs have not achieved
efficiencies in operations and in delivery of reliable power to the consumers. The
financial viability of the DISCOMs is adversely affected by the poor track record
in reducing AT&C losses and receivables. The positive impact of improvements
in the generation and the transmission utilities in the State has been negated by
the under-performance of the DISCOMs. The analysis also reveals a significant
difference in performance between the two DISCOMs when AT&C losses,
collection efficiency and receivables, etc., compared.
2. Increased level of subsidies provided to the DISCOMs by the State seems to
have salvaged the financial position of the DISCOMs.
3. The main reasons for under-performance of the DISCOMs are: (i) lack of
necessary systems and applications to revamp their functioning, and (ii) the
nature of operations of the State Public Undertakings (SPUs) where operations
are performed by officers as managers and “owner citizens” (i.e., government
and public) do not assert effectively to improve the working of the State-owned
Utilities.
