Origins[edit]

In 2002, the distribution network of the erstwhile Delhi Vidyut Board was privatised as per the provisions of the Delhi Electricity Reform Act, 2000 and the Delhi Electricity Reform (Transfer Scheme) Rules, 2001.[2] The Delhi Vidyut Board was unbundled and split into six entities and i.e. Delhi Power Company Limited (holding company), Indraprastha Power Generation Company, Delhi Transco Limited, BSES Rajdhani Power Limited, BSES Yamuna Power Limited and North Delhi Power Limited (now Tata Power Delhi Distribution Limited).

e-Vehicle charging[edit]

Deputy Chief Minister of Delhi, Manish Sisodia inaugurated the first public e-vehicle charging station of Delhi in his Patparganj constituency on 18 July 2020.
