Managing change during a transition period: The case of an Indian state

Abstract

Over the past two decades, several countries across the globe have been restructuring their power sector. Orissa has earned the distinction of being the first state in the Indian Union as well as the first region in South Asia to bring about reform in the electricity sector. Under the reform program, the former Orissa State Electricity Board was unbundled into generation, transmission and distribution and the four distribution zones were privatized through the process of international competitive bidding.
