The Minister of State (IC) For Power, Coal, New & Renewable Energy and Mines, Shri Piyush Goyal, said that interventions under Ujwal DISCOM Assurance Yojana (UDAY) including reduction in interest costs & cost of power and efficiency gains have yielded encouraging results.

The Minister said that as per the unaudited data submitted by States, the participating States have achieved an improvement of 1.07% in Aggregate Technical & Commercial (AT&C) losses and Rs.0.13 a Unit in Average Cost of Supply (ACS) - Average Revenue Realized (ARR) gaps in FY 2017. However, different states have different trajectories since they have joined UDAY at different time.
