सामान्य प्रश्न
61. What is a Public Utility, and what are its key provisions as relevant for the UPSC exam?
A Public Utility is an organization providing essential services like water, electricity, and transportation. Key provisions include high capital investment, economies of scale, government regulation to prevent monopolies and ensure fair pricing, and a focus on universal access and affordability.

2. How does a Public Utility work in practice, and why are they often considered natural monopolies?
Public Utilities require significant infrastructure investments (e.g., power grids, water pipelines). The high fixed costs and economies of scale often lead to a situation where one large provider can supply the service more efficiently than multiple smaller ones, hence the term 'natural monopoly'.
