Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot instructed Rajasthan’s Energy Department to operate in a mission mode to boost power generation and ensure reliable supply across the state.
Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot has directed the state’s Energy Department to adopt a "mission mode" approach for power generation and supply. The directive calls for intensified operations, rapid resolution of bottlenecks and close monitoring of output across all power plants under the department’s control.
Officials are expected to prioritize critical tasks, mobilise additional resources and coordinate with central agencies to secure fuel and equipment. The CM emphasized that uninterrupted electricity is essential for households, industries and agricultural activities throughout Rajasthan.
The move comes as the state seeks to address periodic shortages and improve the reliability of its grid. By putting the Energy Department in mission mode, the government aims to accelerate new capacity additions and enhance the efficiency of existing plants, thereby reducing load‑shedding incidents.
Stakeholders, including power producers and consumer groups, have been asked to cooperate fully with the department’s intensified schedule. The CM assured that the administration will closely track progress and take corrective action wherever needed.
