Rajasthan Power DISCOMs: Debt Reductions and Revenue Milestones
Rajasthan's power distribution companies cut their debt by Rs 1,352 crore in 2025-26, crediting tighter financial management and improved revenue recovery measures. Ajmer and Jaipur DISCOMs significantly reduced their liabilities, while Jodhpur's increased slightly. Enhanced financial practices and strategic borrowing at lower interest rates were pivotal in achieving these improvements.
In a significant development for Rajasthan's energy sector, the state's power distribution companies have successfully reduced their combined debt by Rs 1,352 crore in the 2025-26 financial year, an official statement confirmed.
This achievement comes as a result of stringent financial management strategies, including better revenue recovery mechanisms. The energy department, under the guidance of Energy Minister Heeralal Nagar, spearheaded these initiatives, resulting in the combined debt of the three DISCOMs dropping from Rs 97,970 crore in 2024-25 to Rs 96,618 crore in 2025-26.
Ajmer and Jaipur Vidyut Vitran Nigams played a crucial role in this success, reducing their debts by Rs 935 crore and Rs 644 crore, respectively. The improvement was facilitated by strict adherence to financial norms, enhanced recovery of dues, and the procurement of low-interest loans, translating into higher revenue realisation rates for all DISCOMs.
