ON MAY 14, FINANCE MINISTER Nirmala Sitharaman announced a Rs 90,000 crore liquidity provisioning for distribution companies (discoms) to clear their dues with power generation companies (Rs 88,495 crore as of March 2020). The power ministry has unveiled two big reforms—the Atal Distribution System Improvement Yojana (ADITYA) and the New TariffPolicy (NTP).
