So far, the Centre has released around Rs 37,000 crore under the scheme, accounting for nearly 38% of the total sanctioned Gross Budgetary Support.
Funds are released only when Distribution Companies (DISCOMs) achieve specific milestones and fulfil all requirements outlined in the fund-release guidelines. A result-evaluation framework, built on customised action plans for each State and DISCOM, is being used to assess performance and determine eligibility for continued funding.
