Minister for Energy Peddireddy Ramachandra Reddy called upon Discoms to reduce transmission and distribution (T&D) losses as much as possible and take necessary action to recover dues from different categories of consumers.
In a review meeting with officials of the EPDCL at the Secretariat on Friday, Mr. Ramachandra Reddy said the Discoms should launch a special drive to recover the dues from industrial consumers and take steps for the speedy disposal of court cases.
He expressed dissatisfaction at the tardy progress of the construction of 33-kV substations under EPDCL and ordered that the contractors who failed to stick to schedules be blacklisted.
