The document discusses several challenges facing India's power sector. It states that power generation is insufficient to support fast economic growth. Installed generation capacity is low and underutilized. State electricity boards are inefficient with accumulated losses exceeding Rs. 50,000 crore. Distribution and transmission losses, subsidies, and power theft are significant issues. Thermal plants face coal shortages and nuclear plants face shortages of uranium raw materials. This results in frequent power cuts.
