Power Ministry ab Power System Development Fund (PSDF) ko FY31 tak extend karne ki taiyari mein hai. Grid congestion se bachne ke liye ye kadam bahut zaroori hai kyunki **35 GW** renewable capacity par is waqt curtailment ka risk mandra raha hai.
Ministry ka naya plan kya hai?
Union Ministry of Power ne Power System Development Fund (PSDF) ko 16th Finance Commission cycle yani FY27 se FY31 tak extend karne ke liye Cabinet se approval maangi hai. Ye fund grid infrastructure ko mazboot banane ke liye use hota hai, taaki bijli ki supply mein koi rukawat na aaye. Is saal ke Budget mein iske liye ₹1,103 Crore allocate kiye gaye hain.
Problem kya hai?
India mein solar aur wind energy ka production toh tez ho raha hai, lekin transmission lines us raftar se nahi badh rahi hain. Crisil Ratings ke mutabik, 35 GW ki renewable energy capacity aisi hai jo 'grid curtailment' ka shikaar ho sakti hai. Iska matlab simple hai—bijli generate toh ho rahi hai, par grid mein jagah na hone ki wajah se wo transmit nahi ho pa rahi.
Investors ke liye warning
Agar grid curtailment lambe samay tak chala, toh power developers ki revenue par bura asar padega. Isse unki debt repay karne ki shamta kamzor ho sakti hai.
- Risk Factor: Jo companies Temporary General Network Access (TGNA) par kaam kar rahi hain, unhe Long-Term General Network Access (LT-GNA) wali companies ke mukable zyada khatra hai.
Investors ko advice yahi hai ki wo sirf generation capacity na dekhein, balki ye bhi check karein ki company ki grid connectivity kaisi hai. Power sector mein bani rehne ke liye stability track karna ab pehle se zyada zaroori ho gaya hai.
