Abstract
India is in a state of flux as far as the power is concerned. The distribution sector, which was not well attended to, is now the focus of the paper. The tariff rationalization and reduction in losses are the key issues. Proper policies implemented by the regulators can handle these issues. New technologies such as IT applications and AMR will play an important role in managing the future needs of the distribution sector.
