India's Power Sector Reforms - Management Strategies and Results
This book explores a critical transformation in India's power industry and its global impact. The restructuring process has reshaped how electricity is distributed, emphasizing efficiency, sustainability, and growth. Across India's five regions—north, west, east, south, and northeast—the journey of restructuring has unfolded with varying success and challenges. It began due to the struggles of State electricity boards with inefficiencies and financial difficulties, prompting reforms that split the sector into separate entities for generation, transmission, and distribution. This book meticulously examines the restructuring and regulatory changes in electricity distribution companies across Indian states, addressing a gap in existing literature by offering a comprehensive overview. It highlights the transformative impact of restructuring, drawing insights from diverse geographic and socio-economic landscapes. Through detailed analysis of performance metrics such as generation capacity, power losses, collection efficiency, and tariff structures up to 2018, the book evaluates the effectiveness of restructured power sector entities. A significant focus is placed on Haryana, the second state after Odisha to pioneer restructuring, providing valuable case study insights. By showcasing statistical data and regional comparisons, especially highlighting the northern region's strength, the book offers a clear understanding of the restructuring process nationwide. It serves as a valuable resource for understanding the rationale behind power sector reforms and their outcomes, making complex issues accessible to readers interested in energy policy and sustainable development.
