Unverifiable Promise · Low confidence
Round-the-clock supply for every household was a stated 2022 goal; no single official dataset confirming it was found, and early surveys showed many electrified rural homes got fewer than 12 hours a day.

Analysis
A round-the-clock power-for-all goal for 2022 was announced in 2014 and restated by the PM in 2015. The Saubhagya scheme reported 2.63 crore willing households connected by March 2019, but connection is not hours of supply.
The sources found here predate 2022 or concern connections, not supply hours. Official post-2022 data on hours of supply (e.g. Ministry of Power or discom reports) was not retrieved, so no verdict on outcome is given.
