Synopsis

Electricity powers every aspect of modern India, yet few people truly understand how it is generated, regulated, and priced. This book changes that.

Introduction to Electricity Supply and Regulation in India is a comprehensive yet accessible guide to both the technical and legal dimensions of India's power sector. Written for students, professionals, and curious readers alike, it breaks down complex subjects into clear, readable chapters, no engineering or law degree required.

The book is organised into two parts:

PART ONE: THE TECHNICAL SIDE
Learn how electricity is generated from coal, hydro, nuclear, solar, and wind sources. Understand how it travels from power plants through transmission lines and substations to reach your home or factory. Chapters cover electric power generation, transmission systems, distribution networks, energy measurement, protective devices, and smart grid technology — giving you a solid grounding in how India's electrical infrastructure actually works.

PART TWO: THE LEGAL AND REGULATORY FRAMEWORK
Trace the history of electricity legislation in India from the colonial era to the landmark Electricity Act 2003. Understand the roles of CERC, SERCs, DISCOMs, and the Central Electricity Authority. Explore how tariffs are set, why electricity bills vary so widely across states, how privatisation of distribution companies is reshaping the sector, and what India's renewable energy targets mean for the future.

This updated edition also covers recent developments including India crossing 500 GW installed capacity, the Revamped Distribution Sector Scheme (RDSS), the PM Surya Ghar rooftop solar scheme, Battery Energy Storage Systems, and the proposed Electricity Amendment Bill 2022.

Whether you are a law student, an energy professional, a policy researcher, or simply a consumer who wants to understand their electricity bill, this book is your essential guide to one of India's most vital and rapidly changing sectors.
