Gujarat’s 24×7 Power for All initiative ensures uninterrupted electricity supply to industries, businesses, and households. The state boasts a robust power generation capacity of over 43,000 MW, sourced from thermal, renewable, and hydropower projects. Through Kisan Suryoday Yojana, Gujarat provides a dedicated daytime power supply to farmers, enhancing agricultural productivity. Gujarat has also invested significantly in strengthening the transmission and distribution network, reducing transmission losses to around 12 per cent, one of the lowest in the country. Over 7,400 beneficiaries received electricity connections in two years: Ahmedabad and Anand districts alone in the past two years. The Jhupda Electrification Scheme has also been successfully implemented in Kheda, Surendranagar, Vadodara, Gandhinagar, and Mehsana districts. The details were shared in a written response during the Assembly session on March 10, 2015. The minister assured that no applications are pending in these districts under the scheme.
