Mr. Kachroo has experience of working on both the models - Full Privatization when he was at BSES, Delhi and now in Distribution Franchisee, Nagpur.
Key excerpts from his speech:
- In the complete process of privatization, there is need of fair play by realistic evaluation of losses, so that phased wise investments can be planned and estimated.
- After takeover in Nagpur, the company faced several infrastructure issues like Transformer Breakdown/Failure, Meters not working, etc. since the evaluation of assets and losses was done approximately and not accurately.
- To ensure that Spanco gives continuous and uninterrupted power supply to its customers, they had done a customer satisfaction (CSAT) study to understand their opinions and satisfaction.
He concluded, that there is need of further reforms in power sector to improve the economic viability of the Distribution Franchisee model.
