Seven hours, 24-hour promises, one missing logbook
A former Alair MLA alleges that farm motors are getting no more than seven hours of power. The statewide claim remains unverified; Telangana’s official record says 24 hours.
The official policy promises 24-hour farm supply; feeder-level records from Sudda remain unavailable.
A former Alair MLA has alleged that agricultural motors in Telangana are receiving no more than seven hours of electricity, after inspecting the substation at Sudda village in Yadadri Bhuvanagiri district on September 29, 2026.
Boodida Bhikshamayya Goud also alleged that logbooks were being removed to hide the Congress government’s performance, and said crops were drying because farmers lacked water and power. The report provides no feeder-level data, logbook, farmer testimony or electricity department response. One substation is not the whole state, however enthusiastically the claim travels.
Telangana’s official record says the policy is 24-hour agricultural supply. The state government repeated that position in 2024, while Telangana Electricity Regulatory Commission filings record the announced 24-hour supply policy from January 2018. The latest tariff order uses estimated agricultural operating periods of 12 hours for TGSPDCL and 10 hours for TGNPDCL; that is a calculation method, not proof of actual daily supply.
The Congress government has not publicly answered the allegation. The missing evidence is simple: current feeder-wise supply records from Sudda and elsewhere. Until those appear, seven hours is an allegation, and 24 hours remains an official promise.
