Prepared on the Chief Minister's direction, the plan covers about 1.18 lakh km of poles and cables (₹8,465 crore), replacement of 33,698 km of wires still hung on bamboo supports (₹2,262 crore) and 12,000 new transformers (₹370 crore).
North Bihar's distribution company would get about ₹6,066 crore across 21 districts and South Bihar's about ₹5,031 crore across 17 districts. The number of consumers has more than doubled since 2015–16; the upgrade aims at steadier voltage, fewer outages and lower losses. The proposal now goes to the state Cabinet.
