Who are the power distributors in the capital?

Solution

Since independence, power management in the capital has changed hands four times. In 1951, the Delhi State Electricity Board was set up. In 1958, Delhi Electric Supply Undertaking was set up. In 1997, Delhi Vidyut Board came into existence. Now it has been privatized. Reliance Energy Ltd- owned BSES manages power distribution in two-thirds of Delhi, through BSES Rajdhani Power Limited and BSES Yamuna Power Limited. The Tata Power- owned NDPL distributes power to the North and the North-West of the capital.
