Introduction

The Indian power distribution sector has been the most neglected sector in the past. The sector is characterized by inefficient practices which have resulted in high distribution losses in most Indian states.

The power distribution sector has also suffered due to lack of adequate investments in the sector with most investments going towards the generation function. However, there has been a realization that in order to ensure that the power sector turns into a net generator of resources, significant and systemic improvements would be required in the power distribution function. Various programs like the Accelerated Power Development and Reform Program (APDRP) and the Rajiv Gandhi Grameen Vidyutikiran Yogana (RGVVY) have been initiated in order to ensure that there are improvements in the distribution sector as well as to ensure electricity access to all.
