State Reports (Vol.-III)
Study on `Impact of Restructuring of SEBs’
for unscheduled interchanges (UI). Gujarat may be the first state in the country to
have proceeded in adopting intra state ABT mechanism. The job of installing meters
at interface points is entrusted with GETCL. The work is in advance stage in DGVCL
and UGVCL and trials are expected to be taken in August 2006. It is expected that
entire system will be operational by the end of this year.
PROFESSIONALISATION OF COMPANIES
All the companies have formulated their mission and vision statements. They have
formulated their business plans for a longer period. Each of the companies has its own
planning and finance departments in place. Each company has set targets for
improvement in respect of defined key performance indicators (KPI). Independent
professional directors are appointed on the boards of GSECL and GETCL. It is
expected that with the signing of PPAs and PSAs and implementation of intra-State
ABT, the working of all companies will turn more and more commercial and
independent of each other.
SUMMARY
The above gives an overview of the restructuring exercise carried out by Government
of Gujarat/GEB. Efforts of the staff continued to be productive in the entire period
from the time of deciding to reform the electricity sector in the State, till extremely
smooth completion of the restructuring process, resulting in the formation of seven
distinct corporate entities and thereafter. Therefore, achievements during entire period
from 2003 to 2005 (and not only the short period after April 2005) should be
considered as due to impact of restructuring. The progress achieved in this period in
generation, transmission and distribution sectors is noted in the subsequent chapters.
