1.0 INTRODUCTION
Power is a critical infrastructure for life supporting activities and economic
development. The achievement of increasing installed power capacity to
more than 1 lakh MW and electrification of more than Five lakh villages
since 1947 is only impressive in absolute terms. Frequent power cuts,
erratic voltage and low or high supply frequency have added to “power
woes’ of the end user of electricity. These problems emanated from
Inadequate power generation capacity
Inadequate inter regional transmission links
Inadequate and aging sub-transmission and distribution network
leading to power cut and local failures.
Large scale theft and skewed tariff structure
Slow pace of rural electrification
Inefficient use of Electricity by end consumer
Number of steps have been taken to reform “Power Sector” and also
encouraging results are coming, but still the core of problem is poor state
of Sub - Transmission and Distribution System.
Structural and statutory reforms are under way to revive this vital sections
of power sector. The thrust area are as follows :
Independent regulatory mechanism (CERC / SERC)
Unbundling and Corporatisation of generation, transmission and
distribution segments of the electricity industry.
APDRP (R&M/Distribution/Commercial)
Multiple licensing to encourage competition.
Open access in transmission and distribution network, subject to
regulatory control.
In India, there are 434 Distribution Circle (maximum 50 in Uttar Pradesh)
and out of total energy generated, only 55% is billed and 41% is realised.
In order to reduce this “gap” a Journey towards Excellence in Power
Distribution by implementing TQM Initiatives plays vital role in
Distribution Reforms.

3.3 No logical conclusion can be derived from the above index, however,
numerological point of view, low index signified tremendous room
for improvement in the prevailing power supply situation.
