IntroductionThe Government of Rajasthan (GoR), through a gazette notification unbundled the Rajasthan State Electricity Board (RSEB) into five independent companies to manage their operations independently. As a fall out of unbundling, Rajasthan Rajya Vidyut Utpadan Nigam Limited (RRVUNL) – a power generation company (GENCO), Rajasthan Rajya Vidyut Prasaran Nigam Limited (RRVPNL) – a power transmission company (TRANSCO) and three Regional power distribution companies (Discoms) viz. Jaipur Vidyut Vitran Nigam Limited (JVVNL), Ajmer Vidyut Vitran Nigam Limited (AVVNL), Jodhpur Vidyut Vitran Nigam Limited (JdVVNL) each managed by Board of Directors (BoD).

It is power distribution companies who provide electricity to all categories of users be they be domestic, non domestic, small / medium / large industrial or agricultural consumers. The supply of electricity to each and every citizen in the state is one of the most challenging operations as it involves, on one side forecast the demand of energy accurately and subsequently purchase the same and on other side distribute quality supply to all the consumers spread all across on 24x7 basis. Electricity is no more an item of luxury in fact it is a vehicle of economic development. The power distribution set up has large & complex distribution network infrastructure which carries the energy from the power sub stations (33/11 KV) through the HT and LT lines up to the consumer’s premises and in order to operationalize this discom has huge human capital that work round the clock. Due to various reasons the technical and commercial losses that occur in the supply of electricity effects the financial health of the discom severely.

In order to play a catalytic role in the development of the state in responsible manner the power distribution companies of Rajasthan have decided to streamline its business processes and to concentrate on areas that contribute the technical and commercial losses with the use of ICT. The Discoms are envisaging having Optical Fiber cable for high speed data and voice communication for effective monitoring of data generated at various points and video conferencing with its officers on regular basis.
