A solution to the woes of State power distribution companies? | In Focus podcast

from In Focus by The Hindu · host The Hindu

The central government had recently barred State-owned power distribution companies from buying or selling power on the spot exchanges without paying their current dues to power producing firms. Many States have since paid up and have been able to participate in the trades.
