Products and Market Performance

Electricity is a vital resource for development. An efficient, reliable and well

organized power sector capable of delivering quality power along with
quality service is a necessity for any progressive community. Earlier, the
power sector in the state of Karnataka was serviced by Karnataka
Electricity Board. In the year 1999, the state government initiated the
reforms process of the power sector to meet the needs of the burgeoning
economy. As a first step, in 1999, the Karnataka Electricity Board was
bifurcated into two companies. Karnataka Power Transmission
Corporation Limited (KPTCL) and Vishweswaraiah Vidyut Nigama Limited
(VVNL). The Karnataka Electricity Regulatory Commission (KERC) was also
setup in 1999. In the subsequent stage of reforms, the transmission and
distribution activities carried out by KPTCL were unbundled and four power
distribution companies were formed in June, 2002. MESCOM is one of the
companies thus formed, with its headquarters at Mangalore. Another
company i,e. CESC was carved out of MESCOM from June, 2005 to manage
distribution functions.
