Public utilities in Kullu are primarily managed by state government boards, tailored to navigate the mountainous terrain.
* **Electricity:** Supplied by the Himachal Pradesh State Electricity Board (HPSEB). Much of the power is sourced from local hydroelectric projects, ensuring relatively stable supply, though winter snows can cause occasional disruptions. * **Water:** Managed by the Jal Shakti Vibhag (formerly IPH Department). Tap water is largely sourced from mountain springs and the Beas River basin. * **Gas:** Piped natural gas is not widely available due to the terrain. Residents rely on Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) cylinders distributed by state-approved agencies like Indane and HP Gas. * **Waste Management:** The Municipal Council Kullu oversees solid waste management, with recent initiatives focusing on door-to-door collection and segregation, supported by waste-to-energy and composting plants near Bhuntar.
