The Electricity Rules, 1937, were a set of regulations established in India under the Indian Electricity Act of 1910. These rules were formulated to govern the generation, transmission, distribution, and use of electricity in the country. The Electricity Rules, 1937, provided guidelines and standards for various aspects of electricity supply, including safety measures, licensing requirements, inspection procedures, and tariffs.
The rules aimed to ensure the efficient and safe operation of electrical systems while also protecting the interests of consumers and promoting the development of the electricity sector. Over time, these rules have undergone revisions and updates to reflect technological advancements, changes in the electricity industry, and evolving regulatory requirements.
It's worth noting that while the Electricity Rules, 1937, laid down foundational regulations for the electricity sector in India, subsequent legislation and regulations have supplemented and sometimes superseded them to keep pace with the changing landscape of the power industry.
