National Report (Vol.-II)
Study on ‘Impact of Restructuring of SEBs’
technical and financial performance, increased consumer care, corporatisation
of distribution segment and attracting significant private participation in the
power sector.
A4 Starting with Orissa, which restructured its SEB in the mid-1990s, 12 more
States (including NCT of Delhi) have ‘reorganised’ their SEBs till now. Some
of them had restructured their SEBs prior to the enactment of the EA, 2003
whereas some others have done so after the enactment of the Act. The
remaining SEBs are legally obliged to do so in the near future. It is in this
context that the Ministry of Power (MoP) entrusted the Indian Institute of
Public Administration (IIPA) with the task of evaluation of the impact of the
restructuring of SEBs with reference to the time-frame, pattern, process and the
methodology adopted, as well as the overall performance of the restructured
Utilities. This Report, presented in four volumes, contains the findings and
recommendations of IIPA, which had enlisted the services of a Group of
Experts to carry out the study.

to the power sector in the following important meetings:
