| The whole reform process in Delhi has been conducted in a transparent manner. To begin with, a conference of potential investors was organised in January, 2001 with the assistance of the Power Finance Corporation, which was well-attended and various issues related to privatisation and the expectations of potential bidders were raised and discussed. The basic pattern of reform was considered, and the bidders pre-qualified by an Empowered Committee constituted by the Government of Delhi with representatives drawn from the GNCTD, DVB, the Union Power Ministry, the Central Electricity Authority, the Power Finance Corporation and the Administrative Staff College of India, under the chairmanship of the Chief Secretary, Delhi. The Delhi Government has constantly kept the Union Government informed about developments in the process of privatisation of distribution. The Union Minister of Power joined a meeting in the Delhi Secretariat with the prospective bidders. A presentation on the entire reform package and the restructuring model was made before the Union Disinvestment Minister. The entire reform process has also been debated at length in the Delhi Assembly and in various seminars before reaching the present final stage. |
