Origins

In 2002, the distribution network of the erstwhile Delhi Vidyut Board was privatised as per the provisions of the Delhi Electricity Reform Act, 2000 and the Delhi Electricity Reform (Transfer Scheme) Rules, 2001.[2] The Delhi Vidyut Board was unbundled and split into six entities managed by Reliance Infrastructure (then the Bombay Suburban Electricity Supply (BSES) Limited) and Tata Power. These six companies were BSES Rajdhani Power Limited, BSES Yamuna Power Limited, Delhi Transco Limited, Indraprastha Power Generation Company Limited, Delhi Power Company Limited and North Delhi Power Limited (now Tata Power Delhi Distribution Limited).[3][4]
