- (b) : The  transmission  systems  that  are  in  place  in  the  country  consist  of Inter-State  Transmission  System  (ISTS)  and Intra  State  Transmission  System  (IntraSTS).

Since January 2011, ISTS transmission schemes, are being implemented either through the Tariff based Competitive Bidding (TBCB) process or under cost-plus mechanism with Regulated Tariff Mechanism (RTM), in accordance with provisions of the Tariff Policy.
