This case discuses the process of unbundling and restructuring of Uttar Pradesh State Electricity Board (UPSEB). The UPSEB had accumulated losses of Rs. 6500 crores by year 2000. The state government trifurcated UPSEB into three separate corporations, each handling generation, transmission and distribution of power. There was strong protest against the trifurcation by the employees of UPSEB. Police resorted to arrests of union leaders. The law and order situation was deteriorating owing to police action on agitating employees. Anil Trivedi, the State Energy Secretary, had few options to resolve the crisis amongst which he may choose one.
