The Gurgaon Industries’ Association (GIA) has welcomed the initiation of the Haryana government for introducing frachisee system of power distribution in Gurgaon. Speaking at a meeting with the Managing Director, Dakshin Haryana Bidyut Vitran Nigam (DHBVN), Anurag Agarwal, here, GIA president V P Bajaj said that shortage of staff marred the quality of service by DHBVN.
This problem he hoped would be solved by introducing the franchisee system. He said the industries demanded better service and quality power supply, which was likely to improve with the availability of distribution management skill of the franchisee.
Speaking on the occasion, Anurag Agarwal said that the franchisee system of electricity distribution was a type of power distribution management contract for a specific period and the assets of the Nigam were not being sold away. DHBVN would remain the licensee and the tariff would continue to be as fixed by the Haryana Electricity Regulatory Commission (HERC).
Agarwal said that the aim of the state government in adopting the franchisee system was consumer satisfaction by providing better power supply to them. He said the modalities for adopting this system would be finalised by taking opinion and views of all stake holders including Industrial Associations and officers and employees of DHBVN.
Elaborate discussions would be held before implementation of the franchisee system.
