Power
Haryana has traversed a long way and achieved multi-pronged
development. The power sector has served the dual function
of turning the barren land of the state into lush-green
fields and enhance the pace of industrial growth. The
state has recognized that the power is one of the most
important inputs for development process and hence has
always given high priority to the expansion of electricity
infrastructure.
Haryana is one of the pioneer states of the country
to implement in-depth reforms in the power sector. An
independent regulatory mechanism, Haryana Electricity
Regulatory Commission, has been created and the erstwhile
Haryana State Electricity Board has been restructured
into four independent corporations to bring efficiency,
economy and competition. These four entities are:
