Background:

India achieved near-universal household electrification under the SAUBHAGYA scheme by 2019. However, remote regions such as the northeast, tribal forest areas, and desert communities still face unreliable, low-quality power due to weak infrastructure and challenging geography. Frequent power disruptions affect essential household services, including lighting, cooling, and communication. They also hinder energy-dependent livelihoods, limiting productivity, income generation, and rural development.
