CM Bhagwant Mann to Meet Union Power Minister Manohar Lal Khattar in Delhi at 3 PM Today

October 15, 2026

Chandigarh: Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann is scheduled to meet Union Power Minister Manohar Lal Khattar in New Delhi on Thursday at 3 PM to discuss issues related to Punjab’s power sector and the state’s electricity requirements.

The meeting is expected to provide an opportunity for the Punjab government to raise concerns regarding adequate electricity supply, the needs of the agricultural sector and financial challenges facing the state’s power distribution companies.

Farmers’ Electricity Supply, Power Demand Likely to Be Key Concerns

Ensuring an uninterrupted electricity supply for farmers is a major concern for Punjab, where agriculture accounts for a substantial share of the state’s power demand. The state may seek support on matters related to meeting agricultural electricity requirements and ensuring sufficient power availability for consumers.

The financial position of Punjab’s power distribution companies could also be an important issue, particularly in relation to managing rising costs and maintaining reliable electricity services.

Other possible areas of discussion include the state’s broader energy requirements and coordination with the Centre on power-sector matters. However, the specific agenda for Thursday’s meeting has not been officially confirmed.

Previous Meeting Focused on Punjab’s Power Sector

Mann and Khattar previously met in New Delhi on August 8, 2026, to discuss issues concerning Punjab’s power distribution companies and electricity supply for farmers during the paddy transplantation season.

The latest meeting comes as the state continues to address its power requirements and related financial concerns.

The outcome of Thursday’s meeting, including any decisions or assurances from the Union Power Ministry, is awaited.

Further details are expected following the meeting.
