NTPC, after taking baby steps into power transmission and distribution in 2002, is making efforts to enter the retail distribution segment in a more aggressive manner, both in the national and international market. The company, through its subsidiary NTPC Electric Supply Company Ltd (NESCL), is looking at various business models, including forming joint ventures with the existing distribution companies as well as getting into franchise.
The company is also looking at the possibility of retail distribution of electricity to bulk industrial consumers in upcoming mega industrial areas and special economic zones.
Getting into distribution would mean competing with the existing Discoms, the official said, in India the power transmission and distribution system is a three-tier structure, comprising distribution networks, State grids and regional grids. One of the reasons why NTPC is getting into distribution is that the company wants to give back to those who had contributed land to its projects.
