The meeting focused on addressing power supply challenges, curtailment schedules, revenue realization, and strategies for improving the efficiency of the power sector during the peak winter season.

In his remarks, the Chief Minister emphasized minimizing distress cuts so that public begins to trust the schedule of power cuts notified by the power development department.

“Deviations from announced curtailment schedules must be kept to an absolute bare minimum. While people are ready to accept planned curtailments, unexpected and prolonged power cuts are difficult for them to tolerate,” he stated.

He reiterated the need for a clear and reliable curtailment program, stressing that distressed curtailments should be rare and well-communicated.

The meeting was attended by Advisor to CM Nasir Aslam Wani, Chief Secretary Atal Dulloo, Additional Chief Secretary to CM Dheeraj Gupta, Principal Secretary Power Development Department Rajesh H. Prasad, Principal Secretary Finance Satosh D. Vaidya, Managing Directors of DISCOMs, senior officers of the PDD, and other concerned officials.

Kashmir-based officers joined the meeting virtually. Principal Secretary PDD, Rajesh H. Prasad, presented a detailed overview of key areas including power supply status, load curtailment programs, revenue realization, power purchase economics, and mechanisms for monitoring curtailment schedules.

The Chief Minister reviewed the physical and financial progress of ongoing works and projects being executed under the UT budget, Centrally Sponsored Schemes, and PMDP.
