Accordingly, the transmission assets, including transmission lines and substations, of all central sector electricity generation utilities that operated on an interstate or inter-regional basis were transferred to the company from Fiscal 1992 to Fiscal 1994.

Since 1994 the GoI has progressively entrusted the company with the operation of the Regional Load Despatch Centres (“RLDCs”) in each of the five regions into which India is divided for purposes of power transmission and operation.

The NLDC is responsible for monitoring the operations and grid security of the national grid and supervises the scheduling and despatch of electricity over inter-regional lines in coordination with the RLDCs. All bilateral transactions are undertaken through the RLDCs, while transactions facilitated by the power exchanges are undertaken by NLDC.

Leveraging on the strength as India’s principal power transmission company, the company has diversified into the consultancy business.
