Mentor’s comment-

opinion/op-ed/on-an-equal- footing/article65068161.ece - In the intro, mention the disparity of income among the states.
- In the body mention that the price and quality of power plays an important role in investment and industrialisation and high-income states get the edge on that count.
- In the suggestions mention eliminating the price discrimination by synchronizing all the grids. Next mention the inclusion of electricity duty under the GST.
- Conclude by mentioning that the move will benefit the whole nation through rational tax devolution and, therefore, provide the opportunity to attain higher growth.

Good attempt.
Introduction is fine.
In inter-state issues, points mentioned are good. You can use some data to substantiate your points- 55% of total institutional credit and 56% of total industrial credit went to the five states(Maharashtra,TN, Guj, AP, Telangana); six LIS (Bihar, Jharkhand, U.P., M.P., Odisha, and Rajasthan) had access to only 15% of total institutional credit and barely 5% of total industrial credit, while their share in population is 43% and they together receive only 50% credit from their hard-earned savings.
Maximum benefit of the Atmanirbhar package also went to the HIS as they have a higher share in industry.
Impact on federalism can be mentioned too.
Way forward and conclusion are good. No need of much changes.
Keep practicing. 🙂

Please mention reference ID.
Try to avoid repeating the question in introduction. You can just mention India’s growing power demand and the need for inclusive and equitable growth.
Use of table in the body is good. Divide it into high income states/low income states rather than high industrial/low industrial.
Points are fine.
You can mention that 55% of total institutional credit and 56% of total industrial credit went to the five high income states; six LIS had access to only 15% of total institutional credit and barely 5% of total industrial credit.
Benefits of Aatmanirbhar Bharat Package also was unequally divided.
You can draw a flowchart showing low investment- low industrialization- low power capacity- further less investments.
Way forward is decent, concept of One Nation, One Grid, One Frequency, One Price can be elaborated upon.
Conclusion is fine, keep practicing. 🙂
