Electricity (Amendment) Bill 2025

Why Being Opposed En Masse?

- 

Voices of protest against the India Government's Electricity (Amendment) Bill 2025 have begun to emerge en masse stating it as anti-farmer, anti-consumer, and anti-employee.

The power employees, engineers, farmers and consumers have started to come on the same page to oppose it.

In a meeting of the National Coordination Committee of Electricity Employees and Engineers (NCCOEEE) held in Mumbai on 03 November 2025, it has been decided that 2.7 million power employees and engineers across the country will be forced to launch a nationwide movement against the Electricity (Amendment) Bill 2025 and the privatization of the power sector, if the Government of India fails to listen to their voice. Acting on the strategy prepared for the nationwide agitation against the Electricity (Amendment) Bill 2025, a united front with the leaders of the electricity employees, Samyukta Kisan Morcha, All India Trade Unions and common consumers will be formed.

State-level joint conventions of NCCOEEE will be held in November, December, and January in all states to mobilize employees and engineers against privatization and the Electricity (Amendment) Bill 2025, and a call will be given for "Delhi Chalo" on 30 January 2026. Taking a lead, complying with the decisions of the National committee, All Haryana Power Corporations Workers Union organised a state-level convention on 5th November in Rohtak against the Electricity (Amendment) Bill and accusing the power corporation management of ignoring the demands of the employees and promoting privatization, announced to protest at the Panchkula headquarters of ACS Power on November 26.
