Jharkhand State Electricity Board
Jharkhand Bijli Vitran Nigam Limited (JBVNL) (previously Jharkhand State Electricity Board) is a Government of Jharkhand enterprise, entrusted with the generation and distribution of electrical power in the state of Jharkhand, India. It suffers a loss of more than ₹1,000 crore (US$200mn) every year.[1]
In 2011, it was revealed that in the last ten years, as much as ₹80 crores in outstanding dues to various units had been waived.[1] For example, ex-Chief Minister Madhu Koda, in prison for graft since 2008, waived of a ₹10 crore bill from a company owned by fellow minister Vinod Sinha, who is also in jail on graft charges.
