Allowable employee strength in KSEB is 30,321: regulatory panel

The Kerala State Electricity Regulatory Commission has approved the allowable employee strength in the Kerala State Electricity Board (KSEB) as 30,321.

The commission's order has come on a petition filed by the KSEB requesting that the employee strength be approved as 33,296 for the purpose of reckoning the operation and maintenance expenses for the period from 2022-23 to 2026-27.

Noting that the revision would be applicable from this financial year, it has urged the KSEB to ''review the necessity of retaining the sanctioned posts'', given the advances made in smart technologies in the power sector.
