Welcome Address
Session 1: Understanding Technology in Light of People's Interface and Culture
Various good Technologies are long known and existing in Indian Utilities, but still there is growing financial deficit and high AT&C losses. It is important that before the technologies are questioned, we carefully re-visit the usage and interfaces of these Technologies with their users – adoption by Utility employees, right structuring & resourcing and finally easy access & integration with end-customers & their records.

Indian Power market has fast changed and further evolving post unbundling reforms. There is rapid emergence of various private/PPP models across Generation, Transmission, Distribution and Power Trading. Many organised corporates have portfolio across this value chain, while many new mid and big size companies entering into the foray. There is high attractiveness of the end B2C Power Distribution business, as it brings cash for all other businesses in the value chain.
