TANGEDCO Reform
Reduces power bills for apartment residents and small industries — TANGEDCO's inefficient generation and outdated infrastructure cause up to 16% transmission loss, costing ~₹3,000 crore/year; a 5-year reform plan replaces 18,000 old transformers, cuts AT&C losses from 16% to 10%, introduces time-of-day billing, and replaces the commercial tariff currently applied to shared apartment common areas with a residential tariff, reducing bills for 30 lakh urban apartment residents.
