State Reports (Vol.-III)
Study on `Impact of Restructuring of SEBs’
with weak planning and demand forecasting, inefficient running of operations, low
emphasis on maintenance and poor financial monitoring and control, have led to high
losses and poor revenue collections. The AT&C loss levels have been computed for the
period 2001-02 and 2002-03. These present a very grim picture of the State power sector
with the level of AT&C losses at more than 50 per cent.

T&D loss (%) 40.2 37.3
Average Cost (Rs/kWh) 2.83 2.64
Sales (Rs crore) 6470 6618
Collection Efficiency (%) 78.3 78.0
Revenue Collected (Rs crore) 5063 5030

AT&C losses (%) 52.3 52.2
Similarly, the trend of losses for the subsequent years is indicated in the following graph.
The reduction during 2003-04 has been considerably good and indicates good
performance by the DISCOMs. However, the sustainability of such a reducing trend
during the ensuing years needs to be seen before commending the companies for their
performance.
