Thesis
The Revamped Distribution Sector Scheme (RDSS) has committed Rs. 3 lakh crore to reducing AT&C losses — the theft and technical loss problem that has plagued state utilities for decades. The few private discoms operating in profitable urban circles (Mumbai, Ahmedabad, Kolkata, Surat) earn regulated RoE on a steadily growing base. Small universe, stable cash flows.
