Abstract
Most state electricity boards (SEBs) are incurring large loses.. Their-nati onwide total annual loss' was estimated at Rs 10,684 crore in 1997-98. This has emerged:as a major constraint on the reform-of the power sector. A cas e study of the Maharashtra State Electricity Board (MSEB) leads to the conc lusion that tariff;increase, capital restructuring and measures to improve technical performance and managerial efficiency can bring about a substanti al improvement in the financial position of the MSEB.
