"Since Independence, power management in the national capital has changed hands four times. The Delhi State Electricity Board (DSEB) was set up in 1951. This was succeeded by the Delhi Electric Supply Undertaking (DESU) in 1958. The Delhi Vidyut Board (DVB) came into existence as SEB in February 1997. Now, the distribution of electricity vests with two leading Private sector companies — Reliance Energy Limited (BSES Rajdhani Power Limited and BSES Yamuna Power Limited) and Tata Power Limited (NDPL). They supply electricity to approximately 46 lakh customers in Delhi. The tariff structure and other regulatory issues are monitored by the Delhi Electricity Regulatory Commission (DERC). Though it was expected that there will be greater improvement in power distribution and the consumers will benefit in a major way, experience shows unsatisfactory results."
