Abstract

The paper discusses recent reforms in the power sector in the context of the poor performance of State Electricity Boards (SEBs), and evaluates the recent policy changes in the sector. The new power policy permits a variety of ownership structures and has reduced the number of statutory clearances required. The paper concludes that the success of reforms will depend very largely on how state governments perceive their role in the reform process and their understanding of the key issues involved. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
