License for Power Distribution

Essar Power has applied for a license to distribute power in Bihar. Will this improve the power availability in Bihar?

I feel it will definitely improve the situation because there would be more accountability and penalization that can be done with a private company as compared to what can be done with Bihar State Electricity Board. I am sure there have been improvements made by BSEB over the last few years and getting private players into the picture will only further improve things. So allowing Essar or a suitable private player to distribute power with necessary controls in place would be a good thing.

Details about Essar Power trying to enter power distribution can be found in the Economic Times article "Essar Power plans foray into distribution business"
