PUShP portal

Subject : Schemes

Context:

The Central Government has launched a High Price Day Ahead Market and Surplus Power Portal (PUShP) – an initiative to ensure greater availability of power during the peak demand season.
This year, the Power Ministry expects that the demand will be much higher than last year. Therefore, a separate segment called HP DAM has been created for those generation systems where the cost of producing power may cross Rs 12. The HP DAM segment will accommodate gas-based and imported coal-based plants.
