The minister attributed this growth to PSPCL’s continuous efforts in enhancing power infrastructure to meet the rising electricity demands of the state’s residents and industries.

The current stock includes 42 days for Guru Gobind Singh Thermal Plant (GGSTP), Ropar, 28 days for Guru Hargobind Thermal Plant (GHTP), Lehra Mohabbat, and 40 days for Guru Amardas Thermal Plant (GATP), Goindwal Sahib.
