Abstract :
This paper presents a framework for carrying out the productivity analysis of State Electricity boards (SEBs), which have been mainly responsible for the generation, distribution and transmission of electricity in India. Productivity performances of twenty-six utilities was evaluated using Malmquist index for the time period 1996-2002. The results indicate positive productivity growths for SEBs, while also exhibiting the fact that these utilities are inefficient in operation and can be significantly improved.
