AAP Demands White Paper Over ₹27,915 Crore Loss at Haryana Discoms

The party cites official figures to blame a decade of BJP rule for mounting losses, rising borrowings, higher tariffs.

Overview

  • AAP alleges Haryana’s power distributors have a cumulative loss of ₹27,915 crore and borrowings of ₹20,311 crore, citing official data.
  • The party asks the state to publish a white paper on utility finances and to identify who is responsible for the reported losses.
  • AAP contends households face high tariffs, heavy fixed charges, and escalating electricity bills without meaningful relief.
  • As a contrast, AAP highlights Punjab’s PSPCL reporting about ₹2,600 crore profit in 2024–25 with an A+ national ranking and 300 free units yielding zero bills for over 90% of domestic consumers.
  • In parallel regulatory action, the Haryana Electricity Regulatory Commission directed discoms to cut AT&C losses, narrow the cost–revenue gap, improve procurement, ensure 24-hour village supply, and manage an estimated ₹4,400 crore revenue shortfall.
