Did we really achieve our goals?
■ Power sector after tax losses excluding state governments
support to the sector, were Rs. 61,800 Crores in 2011
equivalent to nearly 17% of India’s gross fiscal deficit and
around 0.7 % of GDP
■ If subsidies are included as revenue, losses fall by more than
half to Rs. 29500 Crores
■ Aggregating profits and losses over time, sector wide
accumulated losses stood at Rs. 1,14,600 Crores in 2011 more
than twice the amount in 2003
Discoms and bundled
utilities are the largest
contributors to
accumulated losses with
the share of 86%
Just 10 years after being
bailed out, the sector is
looking for another rescue
from the centre – FOUR
times larger than before
