No 23, CPD Policy Brief from Centre for Policy Dialogue (CPD)

Abstract: The objectives of the study are two folds – (a) to inform the policymakers, bureaucrats, private sector and civil society organisations about the inefficiency in allocative priorities in the power sector; and (b) to inform the government, particularly senior officials of the Ministry of Power, Energy and Mineral Resources, Ministry of Planning and Ministry of Finance, about the scope for reprioritisation of budgetary allocation in the power sector to identify scopes for releasing funds for the implementation of other important activities both within and outside the sector.
