Privatization and Restructuring of Distribution Utilities

This is a contentious issue and has been hugely debated.  Distribution reforms that include regulatory and structural changes have been introduced because of the inability of the public sector to give adequate resources/services. Because of the distribution sector is the weakest link in the whole supply chain, privatization was adopted as a means, in a few parts to improve the financial health of the sector and its service quality. The choice of privatization model, its procedure and sequencing is a real challenge before the sector.

Therefore, Private Distribution Utilities have shown very good performance. Y.
