  Reading between the lines, it sounds like it's going to be mainly redistributing income from hydro-power generation sold to the rest of the country, which makes it sound similar to things like the Alaska Permanent Fund (i.e. a dividend paid from exceptional resource revenues which is below local subsistence levels rather than a taxpayer-funded redistribution programme) Some Indian sources (which also don't seem to have a figure_ suggest they're also proposing top up the fund by cutting other subsidy programmes, so it'd also be interesting to see the net impact on different sections of society if it happens
