  Home About UsDiversificationDistribution | | | | | | The electric power distribution system in many parts of India is in need of modernisation, capacity expansion and sectoral reform. The Government of India has taken a number of initiatives to improve electric power distribution in general and rural electrification in particular. Under the APDRP ( full form), POWERGRID has been appointed as an Advisor-cum-Consultant (“A/C”), and in that role we are consulting on and monitoring the development of 178 electricity distribution schemes spread over 18 states, covering urban and semi-urban areas.
POWERGRID is also implementing distribution improvement schemes in seven of those states, namely Bihar, Goa, Gujarat, Meghalaya, Uttar Pradesh, Tripura and Mizoram. Schemes are implemented following a process that includes design, engineering, the awarding of contracts, inspection and monitoring. Under the RGGVY, POWERGRID has entered into agreements to implement rural electrification projects on behalf of SPUs in nine states--Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, West Bengal, Gujarat, Rajasthan, Orissa, Chattisgarh, Assam and Tripura. These projects entail the progressive provision of infrastructure for approximately 88,000 villages in 68 districts. Through December 31, 2006 POWERGRID has implemented the electrification of over 8,800 villages in the states of Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, West Bengal, Gujarat and Rajasthan.
