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

     DPL Inc.'s earnings for the second quarter of 1997 were $0.35 per
share, even with quarterly earnings a year ago.  Year-to-date earnings
were $1.01 per share, up 3% from $0.98 per share for the same period
in 1996.  Electric sales to industrial customers continue to grow, up
4% year-to-date versus the same period a year ago.  The economy,
combined with successful cost control efforts throughout the Company,
helped to mitigate the impact of mild first and second quarter
weather, and maintain our improved financial performance.

     The financial condition and results of operations for the second
quarter and six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 are 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 June 30, 1997, DPL Inc.'s cash and temporary cash
investment balance was $48.4 million.  In addition, $262.3 million was
invested in debt and equity financial assets.

     DPL Inc. and its subsidiaries have $200 million available through
a Revolving Credit Agreement ("Credit Agreement").  As of June 30,
1997, 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 also has $97 million
available in short-term informal lines of credit.  As of June 30,
1997, DP&L had $26.9 million in commercial paper outstanding.

     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 1997-2001.

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

     Utility service revenues decreased by $12.2 million and $23.9
million, respectively, for the second quarter and six months ended
June 30, 1997.  An increase in electric industrial sales was offset by
reductions in other sales classes, primarily due to the effects of
mild winter and early summer weather as well as lower fuel cost
recovery rates.

     Interest and other income was $3.0 million lower than the second
quarter 1996 and $2.9 million higher than year-to-date.  A gain on an
investment sale in the first quarter was partially offset by lower
interest income on short-term investments in the second quarter.

     Fuel and purchased power decreased $3.6 million and $10.1
million, respectively, from the second quarter and year-to-date last
year primarily as a result of lower retail electric sales and lower
fuel costs in both periods.  Decreased purchased power expenses also
contributed to the year-to-date variation.

     Gas purchased for resale increased $0.4 million compared to
second quarter 1996 and $2.8 million year-to-date versus last year.
Higher natural gas costs were partially offset by lower sales due to
milder weather.

     Operation and maintenance expense decreased from last year by
$11.1 million for the quarter and $13.4 million year-to-date.  Lower
insurance and claims costs, and overall cost containment efforts
contributed to the second quarter decrease.  In addition, a downward
adjustment to the actuarially determined pension and retiree health
care expenses resulted in the year-to-date variation.

     General taxes increased $1.3 million and $2.7 million compared to
the second quarter and year-to-date 1996, respectively, due to higher
property taxes from additional property.

     Income taxes decreased $1.9 million and $6.5 million,
respectively, from the second quarter and year-to-date 1996 primarily
due to lower taxable income.

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

     At DPL Inc.'s Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on April 15,
1997, three directors of DPL Inc. were elected, each of whom will
serve a three year term expiring in 2000.  The nominees were elected

WITHHELD; David R. Holmes, 92,614,002 shares FOR, 1,347,868 shares
WITHHELD; and Burnell R. Roberts, 92,559,470 shares FOR,
1,402,400 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.  On July 31, 1997, FERC issued an order requiring DP&L
and other utilities to refile their open-access transmission tariffs
with FERC by August 15, 1997.

     On April 11, 1996, the PUCO issued an Entry on Rehearing ordering
utilities to file interruptible electric service tariffs.  On June 14,
1996, DP&L filed for approval of a non-firm electric service rate
schedule and replacement power rate riders.  DP&L's interruptible
electric service tariffs were approved on May 1, 1997, and tariffs
conforming to this Order were subsequently filed with the PUCO on
May 15, 1997.


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

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

     No reports on Form 8-K were filed by DPL Inc. during the quarter
ended June 30, 1997.
