| Summary: | With the aim of supporting the
Government of India and interested states to advance the
implementation of the Electricity Act 2003, in 2005-06 the
Bank commissioned short case studies, organized workshops to
build consensus around promising approaches to improve
electricity distribution services in India - June 3, 2005;
and heighten awareness of the potential role of retail
competition. Given the mixed success of distribution
privatization in India and elsewhere, the original concept
for distribution reform was modified to include
institutional arrangements other than privatization -
effective corporatization, market segmentation,
public-private partnerships, etc. - as a ways to improve the
governance and quality of electricity distribution services. |
