They don't mean "loss" but "outages" if I read it correctly.

They do mean loss. Literally losing electricity as heat because of resistance. You can never reduce this to zero, but various problems can compound to increase the loss to ridiculous levels.

Includes loss due to theft

tldr; they passed the administration of power from the corrupt government officials to Tata power (part of the Tata conglomerate) and BSES (part of another conglomerate Reliance). They modernized the setup and closed loopholes and avenues of corruption and also made stealing of power by the corrupt sections of public difficult.

A well functioning government that regulates things is so crucial to everything in a technological life.

This is because of the Modi government pro development agenda which is also what pushed India to the 21st century (and beyond).

Although they were some mistakes his government made all in all it’s been a huge success compared to the previous administrations in India.
