Abstract

The distribution sector has been the Achilles’ heel of the Indian power sector, consistently making large losses, reflecting weaknesses in operations, infrastructure, and regulation. We will not be able to achieve a high-growth, low-carbon economy unless the distribution sector achieves profitability. Different states in India have followed different reform trajectories, and today, policy- makers can draw upon a wealth of accumulated experience. This report aims to document the best practices and lessons from across India, and where required, across the world.
