- Chandigarh, February 19: Additional Chief Secretary, Haryana Electricity Department, Shri PK Das said that the Power Finance Corporation Limited (PFC), functioning under the aegis of Ministry of Power, Government of India, has been publishing integrated rating of power distribution units of states across the country based on annual assessment. He said that as per this assessment, Dakshin Haryana Bijli Vitran Nigam Limited (DHBVNL) improved its ‘B’ rating for the year 2015-16 and achieved ‘A-Plus’ rating in the year 2018-19 while Uttar Haryana Bijli Vitran Nigam Limited (UHBVNL) achieved ‘A’ rating in the year 2018-19 which is an improvement from the ‘B’ rating in the year 2015-16. It is a matter of pride for the entire state, he added.
- Shri PK Das said this during a review meeting with officers of DHBVN today.

- He said that providing regular uninterrupted power to the consumers of the state is the priority of the State Government. In this context, various information technology initiatives can be identified and planned to be implemented through Haryana State Discoms such as UHBVNL and DHBVNL over the next 6 months. In this series, there is a plan to deploy real-time data acquisition system (RT-DAS) in all the distribution feeders of the state for which an amount of Rs 20.35 crore has been allocated.
- Shri PK Das said that the implementation of RT-DAS will enable timely monitoring of power distribution. He said that as a result of sustained concerted efforts, both the power transmission units of Haryana – UHBVNL and DHBVNL have been on a path of steady progress for the last four years in terms of operational and financial performance.
