The Government of India seems likely to increase the special loans it has offered to state-run power electricity distribution companies. The increase will bring the loans up to $16.3bn (Rs1.2tn), from the $12.2bn (Rs 900bn) previously announced. These loans were intended to cover the extra dues of distribution companies to power generators for the April-June period, a senior official told Financial Express. Due to additional difficulties as a result of the coronavirus lockdown, several states requested a widening of the window, according to power ministry secretary Sanjiv Nandan Sahai.
