Indian Power and Energy Ministries Clear Administrative Backlogs

The Ministry of Power and the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy completed Special Campaign 6 for Disposal of Pending Matters on October 31, 2026. The month-long initiative, which ran from October 2 to October 31, focused on clearing administrative backlogs, upgrading office spaces, and promoting environmentally responsible waste management across both ministries and their affiliated organizations.

The Ministry of Power generated over Rs 15.74 crore in revenue by disposing of office scrap and electronic waste. The drive included 342 cleanliness events that freed up 251,757 square feet of operational space. Administrative achievements included the closure of 34,525 electronic files, the weeding out of 13,282 physical files, and the resolution of 1,589 public grievances, alongside clearing references from state governments, Members of Parliament, and the Prime Minister's Office.

Simultaneously, the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy targeted the identification and segregation of e-waste to improve office utilization. Senior administrators monitored the progress through scheduled reviews and physical inspections. The ministry reported that maximum targets were successfully accomplished and committed to maintaining these gains through a culture of accountability and regular cleanliness drives to prevent future backlogs.
