Mapping India’s Energy Policy 2022 (Update)

The document details updates to three specific Indian energy subsidies: a one-time relief for oil marketing companies (OMCs) to cover LPG losses, the Reform Linked Distribution Scheme for power distribution companies (DISCOMs), and capital infusions for renewable energy financing institutions.

• The Indian government provided a one-time relief of INR 22,000 crore to state-owned oil marketing companies (OMCs) to cover losses from selling domestic LPG cylinders below market prices to protect consumers from high global crude oil prices. This relief was apportioned as INR 2,929 crore in FY 2021 and INR 13,339 crore in FY 2022.
• The Reform Linked Distribution Scheme (RDSS) provides conditional financial assistance to state-owned distribution companies (DISCOMs) and power departments to improve operational efficiency and financial sustainability. A total central budgetary support of INR 97,631 crore is planned over five years, with INR 1,000 crore conferred in FY 2022.
• To increase the lending capacity for non-conventional and renewable energy, the government performed a one-time capital infusion of INR 2,500 crore in FY 2022. This consisted of INR 1,000 crore for the Solar Energy Corporation of India and INR 1,500 crore for the Indian Renewable Energy Development Agency.
