Tamil Nadu Generation and Distribution Corporation (TANGEDCO) has sought state government's directive to link Aadhaar cards for new power connections.
TANGEDCO officials are of the opinion that if Aadhaar is linked to the electricity numbers, the subsidy claims can be regularised and streamlined. At present, the power generation and distribution corporation is spending around 3500 crore rupees annually on power subsidies.
