Abstract :
This paper presents a framework for accessing efficiency analysis of State Owned Electric Utilities (SOEUs), which have been mainly responsible for the generation, distribution and transmission of electricity in India. Efficiency Performance of Thirty four state owned generation companies was evaluated using the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) for the time periods 2006-07. This efficiency performance of regulated electric utilities of India is very important for future requirement. The result shows that SOEU generation companies are inefficient in operation and need improvement.
