Chhattisgarh State was carved out of Madhya Pradesh on the 1^st November, 2000. It is one of the few States in the country which has a robust power sector since its very inception. The Chhattisgarh State Electricity Board (CSEB) was constituted soon after the State came into being on 15^th November, 2000. The Board is in a position, more or less, to meet the electricity requirement of the State and is also in good financial health. Although two more small distribution licensees have come up in the State, CSEB continues to be the single largest producer and distributor of electricity in Chhattisgarh. It is yet to be restructured in pursuance of the provisions of the Electricity Act, 2003. continue....

The CSERC perceives its role as not only that of a regulator but also a promoter of power sector in the new State of Chhattisgarh. It shall be the CSERC's endeavor to create necessary conditions for the growth of power sector in the State through increased investment in this sector, by assuring the electricity industry a reasonable return and by providing an open competitive environment, so that the potential of this State of being a power hub of the country is realized. continue....
