The Madhya Pradesh government has launched the Samadhan Yojana 2025–26, a one-time settlement scheme to recover Rs 120 billion in pending electricity dues from around 9.2 million defaulting power consumers.
The scheme offers waivers of up to 90 per cent on surcharge penalties for domestic and agricultural users, and up to 80 per cent for non-domestic and industrial users, based on early lump-sum payment. Consumers paying before December 31, 2025, will receive maximum relief. The initiative targets Rs 80 billion in principal recovery while waiving Rs 38 billion in surcharges to improve discom liquidity without resorting to mass disconnections.
