Public power
Keep generation, wires and meters in public hands.
Fifty-two percent of generation is already private. Franchisees, the Monetisation Pipeline and the Amendment Bills are one offensive. The federation treats them as one fight.
Electricity Employees Federation of India
Electricity is a public good.
The people who produce it will defend it.
From the dam and the thermal plant to the last pole and the solar park — employees and engineers in Central PSUs, in state generation, transmission and distribution, in private utilities and in renewable energy, organised as one. Public power, regular work, electricity as a human right.
Stop the sale of the grid. The household and the farmer are not a market. Stand with coal, petroleum and gas workers — and with working people across every sector and every border. One class. One struggle.

Generation, transmission and distribution
Line from the 10th Conference: two national strike dates in 2025 — 20 May and 26 June.
Read the strike lineRegular work
Equal wage for equal work. Regularise contract labour.
Core work is shifted to contract, fixed-term and trainee labour. Accidents rise while vacancies stay open. Regularisation is the workplace face of public power.
Right to electricity
Households and farmers are not a market.
Tariff shocks and prepaid meters punish those who can least pay. Worker-consumer forums in every state are part of the same defence of electricity as a public good.
