Power Ministry panel mulls shared distribution network for suppliers
The power ministry's consultative committee discussed reforms for shared electricity distribution networks. These changes aim to boost consumer choice and improve service quality across India. The proposed framework addresses limitations within the Electricity Act of 2003. Existing companies will maintain networks, while new suppliers use them for regulated charges. State regulators will develop implementation frameworks for fair network access.
