The main purpose of forming the Company was to take over, manage and operate the electricity distribution system, assets, liabilities, undertaking of the Assam State Electricity Board (ASEB), as may be transferred to it pursuant to a notified transfer scheme in terms of Part XIII of the Electricity Act, 2003. Subsequently, the Government of Assam notified the provisional transfer scheme vide Gazette notification bearing no. PEL. 151/2003/Pt./165 dated 10th December, 2004 as well as the final transfer scheme vide Gazette Notification PEL.151/2003/Pt./349 dated Dispur, the 16th August, 2005 under the Electricity Act, 2003 transferring the various assets, liabilities etc. of the ASEB to the Company.
The Distribution function of the entire State is now looked after by APDCL. APDCL is continuing the power sector reforms process that helps in reducing the transmission and distribution losses, achieving 100% metering, providing Information Technology solutions and improving the overall performance of the company. However this process can be a success only if all the employees in ASEB and its successor companies are motivated for hard work as well as for giving better service to the consumers. Assam Power Distribution Company Ltd. has ambitious plan of upgrading and modernizing distribution system. Intervention of Information Technology and IT enabled services will be implemented to facilitate better interface between customers and the Company. We are setting up a State of the Art Data Centre linking it with the most of the towns on real time basis. Further upgradation of Network is also in the offing. All the villages will be provided electricity in phased manner under Rajiv Gandhi Gramin Vidyutikaran Yojana which is already under implementation throughout the State.
