Delhi Slashed Electricity Losses from 50% to 5%

Delhi has reportedly reduced its electricity distribution losses from roughly half of all power to around 5 percent, a turnaround described in an IEEE Spectrum report. The city once lost as much electricity to theft and inefficiencies as it delivered to paying customers. The story is being shared and discussed on Hacker News, where commenters are weighing in on how such a dramatic efficiency gain was achieved and whether it could be replicated elsewhere.
Why now: The scale of the improvement in a major city's power grid makes it a striking example of infrastructure reform worth debating.
