In this regard the company has written to Delhi Electricity Regulatory Commission (DERC) inform you that NTPC has decided to foray into distribution sector and is keen on acquiring the distribution assets in the state.
NTPC's maiden entry into power distribution was by forming a 50:50 JV company 'KINESCO Power and Utility Private Ltd.' with Kerala Industrial Infrastructure Development Corporation (KINFRA). It is already distributing power in KINFRA owned industrial theme parks.
The company formed NTPC Electric Supply Company Ltd. (NESCL) in 2002 as its wholly owned subsidiary with the objective of making a foray into the business of distribution and supply of electrical power, as a sequel to the reforms initiated in the power sector. The company was also mandated to take up consultancy and other assignments in the area of the Electrical Distribution Management System.
