The Electricity sector is governed as a relic of geographical administration by states and local bodies. This hasn't changed much over the past 15-20 years barring a few locations, despite national policies on private participation. Much of the innovation in the sector is happening through initiatives outside of this system - including programmes that the govt supports. Distributed generation through smaller plants rather than the mega projects. The latter run into all kinds of opposition - political, activist groups, land acquisition and so on.
