Earlier on Tuesday, the newly-formed Andhra Pradesh government under Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu floated a whitepaper around its power sector where it discussed its status and raised allegations against its predecessor government under Jagan Mohan Reddy.

As per the whitepaper, there was a phenomenal increase in the power tariff burden among consumers, the debt of state power utilities increased, and there were losses due to inefficient governance.

Total loans of Andhra Pradesh power utilities increased from INR 62,826 crore in 2018-19 to INR 112,422 crore in 2023-24, with an increase of INR 49,596 crore or a 79 per cent increase.

"The Andhra Pradesh power sector needs three new reforms. I have never seen such destruction of the state in my political career, even though this is my fourth term. We are committed to development and are handling these burdens. We will come up with strategies to resolve all these issues. We are committed to providing uninterrupted electricity supply," the chief minister said, releasing the whitepaper.

"We are committed to providing uninterrupted electricity supply. The quality of electricity should be maintained without hiking true-up charges. I have to go through the agreements done by the previous government. Andhra Pradesh is one of the states to go with green hydrogen," the CM added.
