Introduction to Electricity Supply and Regulation in India

This book is an overview of electricity and power transmission aspects in India. We briefly summarise technical aspects related to the generation, transmission and distribution of electricity. We also discuss the Electricity Act 2003 in India, which is the main act regulating the electricity supply in India. This book is divided into two parts: first is the technical part, covering technical aspects of the electricity power supply.
The second part covers the electricity supplies laws and tariff regulations, dealing with the history of electricity supply, the electricity act 2003 and related matters. It also discusses the tariff policy and the regulatory framework for electricity in India. It is hoped that this book shall provide some introductory guidance to those who are interested in the areas related to electricity supply and regulation in India.
