Scenario comparison — token charge levels

Sensitivity — net annual collection (₹ cr) by charge × efficiency

> ₹20,000 cr (meaningful) ₹5,000–20,000 cr (modest) < ₹5,000 cr (negligible)  ·  Reference: new debt ≈ ₹64,000 cr/yr · subsidies ₹2.1L cr · total debt ₹7.4L cr
⚠️ Illustrative policy model with simplifying assumptions (flat token charge, no demand elasticity, "years to repay" ignores ongoing debt growth). Educational use only — not a regulatory tariff filing, audited DISCOM accounts, or investment advice.
