Item 2.   Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
          and Results of Operations

     DPL Inc.'s earnings for the first quarter of 1996 were $0.63 per
share, an increase from the $0.60 per share earned in the same period
a year ago.  Continued strong business activity and colder than normal
winter weather were the main reasons behind the improved financial
performance.  DPL Inc. was also able to continue to control costs
throughout the Company, which helped to achieve the earnings growth.

     An analysis of the financial condition and results of operations
for the first quarter ended March 31, 1996 and 1995 is discussed
below.

Financial Condition
- -------------------

     Construction plans are subject to continuing review and are
expected to be revised in light of changes in financial and economic
conditions, load forecasts, legislative and regulatory developments
and changing environmental standards, among other factors.  DP&L's
ability to complete its capital projects and the reliability of future
service will be affected by its financial condition, the availability
of external funds at reasonable cost and adequate and timely rate
increases.

     As of March 31, 1996, DPL Inc.'s cash and temporary cash
investment balance was $179.7 million.

     DP&L has available to it $97 million in short-term informal lines
of credit.  As of March 31, 1996, DP&L had no short-term debt
outstanding.  DPL Inc. and its subsidiaries have $200 million
available through a Revolving Credit Agreement.  As of March 31, 1996,
DPL Inc. had no outstanding borrowings under this Credit Agreement.
DP&L has authority from the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio
("PUCO") to issue short term debt up to $200 million with a maximum
debt limit of $300 million including loans from DPL Inc. under the
terms of the Credit Agreement.

     DP&L anticipates that it has sufficient capacity to issue First
Mortgage Bonds to satisfy its requirements in connection with the
financing of its construction and refinancing programs during the five
year period 1996-2000.










                                  -8-

Results of Operations
- ---------------------

     Electric revenues increased by $8.6 million for the first quarter
of 1996.  Residential customer revenues were up $9.0 million as a
result of higher sales from colder weather.

     Gas revenues increased $5.3 million from the corresponding
quarter last year.  The variance reflects a 16% increase in gas sales
due to colder weather and to increased business activity.

     Fuel and purchased power declined $2.5 million in the first
quarter primarily due to lower electric fuel costs.  Operation and
maintenance expense was $4.6 million higher in the first quarter of
1996 compared to 1995.  The variance was due to increased insurance
costs.

     Income taxes increased $3.5 million from the first quarter of
1995 primarily due to higher book income.

                      Part II.  Other Information
                      ---------------------------

Item 4.  Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

     At DPL Inc.'s Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on April 16,
1996, three directors of DPL Inc. were elected, each of whom will
serve a three year term expiring in 1999.  The nominees were elected
as follows:  James F. Dicke, II, 94,048,977 shares FOR, 1,398,265   
shares WITHHELD; Peter H. Forster, 94,000,967 shares FOR, 1,446,275
shares WITHHELD; and Jane G. Haley, 94,003,920 shares FOR, 1,443,322 
shares WITHHELD.


Item 5.  Other Information.

Rate Regulation and Government Legislation
- ------------------------------------------

     On April 24, 1996, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
("FERC") issued final rules requiring all electric utilities that own
or control transmission facilities to file open-access transmission
service tariffs, which tariffs would provide third parties with non-
discriminatory wholesale transmission service comparable to what the
utility provides itself.  The rules require all such filings within
60 days of the publication of the orders in the Federal Register.
DP&L filed its open-access tariff on April 12, 1996.  FERC further
stated that all stranded costs reasonably incurred and costs of
complying with the rules will be recoverable by electric utilities.

     On March 21, 1996, legislation was introduced in the Ohio House
of Representatives which would restructure the electric industry in
Ohio.  It is not expected that this legislation will be passed during
this legislative session.

     On January 25, 1996, Governor Voinovich reappointed Chairman
Craig A. Glazer to the PUCO for a five year term which commenced on
April 11, 1996 and will extend until April 10, 2001.


Item 6.  Exhibits and Reports on Form 8-K.

     (b)  Reports on Form 8-K
          -------------------

     No reports on Form 8-K were filed by the DPL Inc. during the
quarter ended March 31, 1996.
