Re: India's Power Sector

Add to that the planned 40,000MW from Nuclear power. Is there a practical way to curb losses?. Penalizing the defaulters/collection drives and prepaid electricity are solutions but the major losses still are 'Political' - sugar, textile and plastics being some of the Social sectors.
