Objective of this scheme:
The objective of the scheme is to ensure
(i) 24×7 power supplies for consumers in urban area,
(ii) reduction of AT&C losses as per trajectory (discom-wise) finalized by the Ministry of Power in consultation with States and

(iii) providing access to all urban households. The above objective is to be fulfilled by identifying and addressing critical gaps in sub-transmission and distribution network considering all relevant parameters (such as voltage regulation, HT & LT ratio, optimum loading of transformers & lines, reactive power management, power factor improvement, standard of performance, ongoing works under other schemes) to arrive at broad scope of work to be implemented under the scheme.

Scope of this scheme:
The scope is as follows:
(i) Strengthening of sub-transmission and distribution networks including provisioning of solar panels.
(ii) Metering of feeders / distribution transformers / consumers including prepaid / smart meters in Govt. establishment and AMI, Smart meters in SCADA towns (under RAPDRP).
(iii) IT enablement and distribution strengthening work under R-APDRP (approved outlay of Rs.44,011 Crores, budgetary support of Rs.22,727 crores for 12th & 13th plan carried forward to IPDS).
