The Ministry of Power is preparing to provide funds to the power distribution companies in the states. For this, the Ministry can submit a proposal related to the Reform Based Incentive Package Scheme to the Union Cabinet.


However, the Central Government will provide funds to the Secretary of Power based on the performance of each DISCOM.
