\nThe Integrated Power Development Scheme (IPDS) was launched by the Government of India in December 2014. Its primary objectives are focused on strengthening urban power distribution infrastructure.
\nStatement 1: “Strengthening of sub-transmission and distribution networks in the urban areas.” This is a stated component of the IPDS.
\nStatement 2: “Metering of distribution transformers\/feeders\/consumers in the rural areas.” Metering in rural areas is primarily covered under the Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Gram Jyoti Yojana (DDUGJY), not IPDS. IPDS components related to metering also focus on urban areas (metering of distribution transformers\/feeders\/consumers in urban areas).
\nTherefore, only statement 1 is a component of IPDS.
\n<\/section>\n
\n– IPDS focuses on strengthening power distribution infrastructure in urban areas.
\n– DDUGJY focuses on rural power distribution infrastructure.
\n– Metering is a component of both schemes, but specific to their respective areas (urban for IPDS, rural for DDUGJY).
\n<\/section>\n
\nThe main components of IPDS include: (i) Strengthening of sub-transmission and distribution networks in urban areas; (ii) Metering of distribution transformers, feeders, and consumers in urban areas; and (iii) IT enablement of distribution sector and strengthening of distribution network in urban areas. The scheme aims to reduce Aggregate Technical & Commercial (AT&C) losses.
