Hi Taran
Lackluster introduction, mention the inability of Discoms to meet the UDAY objectives on time.
Lack of content in the issues part, you can write-High AT&C losses, delays in tariff revision, diversion of funds meant for capital expenditure to service debt, higher tariff PPAs etc.
In the measures part, along with other points, explain the need of formulation of pragmatic power tariff policy .
Good conclusion.
Work on handwriting .
Work hard, you will improve.

Hi Parakh
Do not write the issues in the introduction.
Issues are not facing the sector, instead sector is facing the issues, give proper headings.
First write the issues, then government steps, then way forward, follow a proper structure .
Work on content.
In the issues part, you can write-High AT&C losses, delays in tariff revision, diversion of funds meant for capital expenditure to service debt, higher tariff PPAs etc.
In the measures part, along with other points, explain the need of formulation of pragmatic power tariff policy.
Also mention that there is an urgent need to address the issues of burgeoning outstanding dues of discoms towards power generators and stressed projects that are being dragged under insolvency proceedings.
Read comprehensively to improve your content.
Work hard !
