Torrent Power Achieves Top National Ranking for Power Distribution Excellence
In a significant development for India's power sector, Torrent Power Limited has emerged as the top-ranked power distribution company in the country. This recognition comes from the 14th Integrated Ratings and Rankings of Power Distribution Utilities released by the Union Ministry of Power, which evaluated 65 power distribution companies across various parameters.
Perfect Scores for Ahmedabad and Surat Operations
Torrent Power's licensed distribution units in Ahmedabad and Surat demonstrated exceptional performance, achieving a perfect score of 100 out of 100 points. This outstanding achievement earned them an A+ grade and secured the first position nationwide in the comprehensive assessment.
The integrated rating system evaluates power distribution utilities on multiple critical parameters, including:
- Financial sustainability and operational efficiency

- External environmental factors and compliance standards
- Technical capabilities and customer service metrics
Leadership Perspective on the Achievement
Vice-chairman Jinal Mehta expressed pride in the company's accomplishment, stating, "The company has set remarkable benchmarks in transmission and distribution losses, aggregate technical and commercial losses, and overall reliability. Our performance is comparable to global best practices in the power distribution sector."
Mehta further emphasized that this recognition reflects Torrent Power's commitment to operational excellence and customer satisfaction across all its service areas.
Impressive Operational Metrics and National Standing
The annual integrated rating exercise represents a comprehensive evaluation of both private and state-owned power distribution utilities across India. Torrent Power's performance stands out particularly in distribution efficiency, with distribution losses during 2024-25 remaining under 3% in its licensed areas. This figure ranks among the lowest globally and demonstrates the company's technical prowess.
As one of India's largest integrated power companies, Torrent Power maintains a significant presence across the entire power value chain, including:
- Power generation through multiple facilities
- Transmission infrastructure development
- Distribution networks serving millions of customers
The company currently distributes approximately 31 billion units of electricity annually to around 4.21 million customers across various cities in its operational areas. This scale of operations, combined with the exceptional performance metrics recognized in the government rankings, positions Torrent Power as a leader in India's evolving power sector landscape.
The top ranking not only validates Torrent Power's operational strategies but also sets a benchmark for other power distribution companies in the country to emulate. As India continues to modernize its power infrastructure and improve service delivery to consumers, such recognition of excellence becomes increasingly significant for the sector's overall development and reliability enhancement.
