They call it the elixir of life but with changing times, water has also become a driving force in economic activities, traditionally in agriculture, and now increasingly in the industry.

Independent regulatory agencies: A theoretical review with reference to electricity and water in India

Independent regulatory agencies have become an important part of the governance landscape in India and elsewhere. Some regulators have achieved useful outcomes.

This study explores various theoretical perspectives on the political economy of regulation, and elaborates on the implications these have for electricity and water regulation in India.
