The options in this question require students to decide whether each of two statements is correct.

Option 1 says that each State Government in India has established an Appellate Tribunal for Electricity. However, the Appellate Tribunal for Electricity is actually a federal institution established by the Government of India, not by individual State Governments. It is not established by each state government. Therefore, Statement I is incorrect.

Option 2 states that a component of the Accelerated Power Development and Reforms Programme (APDRP) in India is the upgradation of sub-transmission and distribution system for electricity. This is indeed accurate – one of the key goals of the APDRP is to modernize and improve the efficiency of electrical systems, including sub-transmission and distribution systems. Therefore, Statement II is correct.

Based on this analysis, the correct answer to the question is Option 2: II only.
