3. POLICY & REGULATION
• Privatization of Discom
Privatization of discoms does bring efficiency, but getting away from the monopolies of these distribution companies will help. Just the privatization may not help. The critical one is the separation of carriage and content; so that the consumers should be allowed to buy electricity from wherever they want. That is the critical reform. In our survey, 75% of the respondents want discoms should get privatized for better improvement of the power sector, while 25% are fine with the current discoms operation.
