Explanation:
If you are referring to the companies which supply electricity to your home, DISCOMs stand for Distribution Companies eg. BSES RAJDHANI, BSES YAMUNA POWER, TPDDL etc. Since these companies are not generating electricity themsleves, rather purchasing it from someone else and just supplying to the final consumers, they are called Distribution Companies or DISCOMs for short.
