It is also against privatising power utility; States have to meet these conditions for more borrowing
Tamil Nadu remains opposed to the payment of subsidy to consumers through direct benefit transfer (DBT) and the privatisation of the power distribution utility.
However, DBT and privatisation form part of the conditions laid down by the Centre as part of its package on power sector reforms. The States carrying out the package will be given an additional borrowing space of up to half a per cent of the Gross State Domestic Product (GSDP) for four years from 2021-22 to 2024-25.
