In the intro, mention the staggering debt of the discoms.
In the body, mention the objectives related to reducing AT & T losses, reducing the gap between cost of electricity and the price at which it is supplied to zero, provision of Rs. 3 lakh crore through various channels, provision of smart metering etc. In the challenges mention issues such as failure to achieve targets under UDAY, political interference, cross-subsidy issues etc.
Conclude by mentioning the need to consider these issues to avoid the RLRBSD going the UDAY way.
