There are the State Electricity Boards (SEBs) that have run up accumulated losses that exceed Rs 500 billion. There are the limited number of private generators of power like the Tatas. Then there are Central PSUs like NTPC - the largest power producer. There is Power Grid Corporation; there is the Power Finance Corporation and there is the Central Electricity Authority (CEA).

Finally, there are the state and Central power regulatory commissions who have been known so far for their sins of omission than anything else.
