BEST is city/state government owned. They used to generate power, as well as buy it from Tata. Tata also sells to BSES, which was a government concern and is now owned by Reliance power. BEST provides citywide transport, and power to the old city. BSES supplies power to most of the suburbs and a few suburbs have MSEB power. Devdas Bhagat
