How Delhi cut electricity losses from 50 to 5 percent

Original: How Delhi cut electricity loss from 50 to 5 percent

Delhi has reduced its electricity distribution losses from around 50 percent to about 5 percent, a transformation attributed to privatising its power distribution in the early 2000s. The reforms brought investment in metering, billing and infrastructure, curbing theft and technical losses. Readers are discussing what other cities with chronically loss-making utilities, including many in India and developing countries, could learn from Delhi's example.

Why now: The story offers a striking model for fixing failing power utilities, a problem many cities still face.
