At the very inception in our country the consumption of electricity was started for lightening the palaces of the King of Coochbehar in West Bengal and the King of Bikaneer in Rajasthan. In December, 1896 Indian Electric Company, which was Registered in London in 1895, was favoured with the license to distribute and sell electricity in 5.6 Square Mile area in the city of Calcutta, the then capital of India, under Calcutta Electricity Lighting Act for 21 years. Kilbern & Co., was engaged as agent of the said Indian Electricity Company with effect from the 7th January, 1897. In the year 1897 at Sindrapong under Darjeeling District, of West Bengal the 1st Hydro Electric Power Station of our country was installed. Its generating capacity was 130 K. Watt. Thermal Power starts its journey in our country from the 17th April, 1899. In the year 1903, the Electricity Act was amended and developed and as per the said Act C.E.S.C. (Calcutta Electric Supply Company) was favoured with the license for generation, distribution and sale of electricity in the city of Calcutta. The said C.E.S.C. has been continuing its business favoured with extension of license from time to time (Refer web site . ………………………). Afterwards the same systems were introduced in Mumbai (The then Bombay) Kanpur and in 1907 in Chennai (The then Madras) and in Delhi. In the year 1910 The Indian Electricity Act was passed. The private entrepreneurships solely were engaged in generation, distribution, sale and in development of electricity in our country upto the year 1948 prior to enactment of the Indian Electricity Act 1948. In the year 1947 (the year of independence of our motherland from the British imperialists) installed capacity of electricity in our country was only 1363.265 Mega Watt only. The number of electrified villages and pumps engaged in agriculture were 1500 and 6500 respectively. Per capita consumption of electricity in India was only 16 units at that time. After India’s independence it was planned for state owned electricity system to be introduced in our country, a backward country in true sense from economic aspect, a 2nd world war victim country for promoting industrialization, for developing agriculture, for promoting developed economy, for village electrification and for betterment of standard of livelihood of our country men.

The State Electricity Boards started their journey with the said Act in the states of India. Sumultaneously D.V.C.
