This book is an introduction to the challenges of independent regulation, a new governance institution introduced in developing economies in the wake of liberalization, to perform the role of a surrogate for competitive markets. It examines, in the Indian context, regulatory interpretation of key provisions of energy laws and regulatory statutes, as manifest in the adjudicatory orders of India's petroleum and electricity regulators. The objective is to assess regulatory interpretations for consistency with the stated objectives of independent regulation. Comparing regulatory interpretation of energy laws with those of the higher judiciary, this study highlights the divergent perspectives of regulators and the higher judiciary on the role of independent regulation in a liberalized economy. In the process, this research attempts to gauge, not only the extent of regulatory expertise and independence in India's energy space, but crucially, the Indian government's commitment to independence of regulators. The book also offers a glimpse of the operation of checks and balances in a relatively new institution situated outside the scope of the conventional Madisonian framework. Framed against the backdrop of extant regulatory theories, this book is of interest to regulators, policy makers, utility executives, students of law, economics and regulatory studies as well as lawyers interpreting regulators' remit and role in a liberalized economy.

本書是對獨立監管挑戰的介紹,這是一種在發展中經濟體中因自由化而引入的新治理機構,旨在充當競爭市場的替代者。它在印度的背景下,檢視能源法和監管法規的關鍵條款的監管解釋,這些解釋體現在印度石油和電力監管機構的裁決命令中。其目的是評估監管解釋是否與獨立監管的既定目標一致。通過比較能源法的監管解釋與高級司法機構的解釋,本研究突顯了監管機構與高級司法機構在自由化經濟中獨立監管角色上的不同觀點。在此過程中,本研究試圖評估印度能源領域的監管專業知識和獨立性程度,並且至關重要的是,評估印度政府對監管機構獨立性的承諾。本書還提供了對於這一相對新機構運作中制衡機制的瞥見,該機構位於傳統的麥迪遜框架之外。以現有監管理論為背景,本書對於監管者、政策制定者、公用事業高管、法律、經濟學及監管研究的學生,以及解釋監管機構職責和角色的律師均具有興趣。
