Calling for urgent action, the Chief Minister directed officials to accelerate the construction of substations to meet rising electricity demand . The decision was taken during a high-level review meeting attended by Deputy CM Bhatti Vikramarka, MP V. Narender Reddy, and senior officials.

With rapid growth in industries and data centers, he stressed the need for a robust and future-ready power system. He also urged faster approvals under the Green Energy Policy , ensuring that clearances for major projects are not delayed.

Highlighting investment needs, he said reliable power supply and an efficient approval system are key to attracting investors.
