Himachal Pradesh Electricity Board Limited has achieved historical achievement in the energy sector of the state. The Electricity Board has recorded a net profit of Rs 315 crore in FY 2024-25. This is not only the biggest advantage in the history of the board so far, but is also a symbol of a period where the board has moved towards self -sufficiency by recovering from huge financial deficit. The fate of this board, which is once in a loss of Rs 3,742 crore, has changed due to the leadership and visionary policies of Chief Minister Sukhwinder Singh Sukhu.
Chief Minister’s vision and vision changed picture
After Chief Minister Sukhu took power, transparency, good governance and financial discipline were given top priority in the power sector. On the instructions of the Chief Minister, not only discipline was brought in expenses, but strategic plans were made for revenue growth. The board management was given strict instructions to become self -sufficient. As a result, business efficiency was increased by improving power procurement, distribution and recovery system.
Employees and pensioners of the Electricity Board have also got the direct benefit of this financial reform. In the year 2024-25, Rs 368.89 crore was sanctioned for his welfare, which is four times more than the previous year. This includes important facilities like gratuity, medical reimbursement and pension arrears. By 31 July 2025, Rs 187 crore has been paid by Rs 86 crore, causing a wave of happiness and satisfaction among the employees.
Transparency and discipline became the key to success
The board preferred transparency in all the schemes and put the reforms on the ground with time -bound and effective decisions. This financial change has been possible only by implementing government policies with dedication and fixing accountability at each level.
