The Telangana government’s move to hand over electricity bill collection to the Adani Group has faced strong opposition from power utility employees. Demonstrations outside the TGSPDCL head office protested the decision, led by the Joint Action Committee of Electricity Employees representing over 55,000 workers.
They demanded transparency in the agreement with Adani, expressing concerns over its impact on the state’s citizens and threatening statewide protests if the decision persists.
Critics have challenged the government’s claim of Rs. 500 crore in annual losses from unpaid bills, advocating inclusive stakeholder engagement for effective solutions instead of privatization.
