Industry ProfileFertilizer can be described as any substance, organic or inorganic, natural or artificial, which supplies one or more of the chemical elements required for plant growth. According to experts sixteen elements are identified as essential elements for plant growth, of which nine are needed in larger quantities and seven elements are required in smaller quantities. Carbon, oxygen and hydrogen are directly supplied by air and water and therefore not treated as nutrients by the fertilizer industry.
Historical and Anticipated Annual VariationIn Regional Fertilizer Demand around the world between 2007/08 and
2010/11 (Mt nutrients)
Source: Heffer, IFA, June 2010
IntroductionThe fertilizer industry presents one of the most energy intensive sectors within the Indian economy and is therefore of particular interest in the context of both local and global environmental discussions. Increases in productivity through the adoption of more efficient and cleaner technologies in the manufacturing sector will be most effective in merging economic, environmental, and social development objectives. A historical examination of productivity growth in India’s industries embedded into a broader analysis of structural composition and policy changes will help identify potential future development strategies that lead towards a more sustainable development path.Issues of productivity growth and patterns of substitution in the fertilizer sector as well as in other energy intensive industries in India have been discussed from various perspectives.Historical estimates vary from indicating an improvement to a decline in the sector’s productivity. The variation depends mainly on the time period considered, the source of data, the type of indices and econometric specifications used for reporting productivity growth. Regarding patterns of substitution most analyses focus on inter-fuel substitution possibilities in the context
8 | P a g e
of rising energy demand. Not much research has been conducted on patterns of substitution among the primary and secondary input factors:Capital, labor, energy and materials. However, analyzing the use and substitution possibilities of these factors as well as identifying the main drivers of productivity growth among these and other factors is of special importance for understanding technological and overall development of an industry.
Indian Fertilizer Industry
Indian Fertilizer industry is one of the vital industries for the Indian economy, since it manufacturers a very critical raw material for agriculture. The fertilizer industry especially the ammonia urea plants are energy demanding in their operation. The main objective of the fertilizer industry is to ensure the supply of primary and secondary nutrients in the required quantities.
The fertilizer industry in India has performed a vital role in enabling the necessary increase in the use of plant nutrients for achieving the objectives of self sufficiency in food grains production and accelerated and continuous agricultural growth. The fertilizer industry which is one of the most energy intensive sectors is very important from the context of environmental discussions. Due importance to increasing productivity through the implementation of competent and pollution free technologies in the manufacturing sector would be most desirable in combining economic, environmental and social development objectives.

Pre LiberalizationIn India the per hectare consumption of fertilizer in 1950-51 was less than 1/4th of the global average. Production was by and large in the purview of public sector and co operative sector.
In 1977 the government introduced the Retention Price Scheme (RPS) with the goals of providing fertilizers to farmers at reasonable rates without affecting the profitability of the manufacturers. Under this policy the government would pay the manufacturers, the difference between the administered price (sale price) and the retention price (cost of production).
Over and above the retention price subsidy, the equated freight subsidy was introduced to enable the manufacturers to cover the cost of transportation.
Post LiberalizationThe policy of economic liberalization has its effect on the fertilizer industry too. The government in a move aimed at reducing subsidy, decontrolled all the phosphatic and potassic fertilizers in 1992.This strained the ratio of fertilizer utilization. With this policy of liberalization, the retention pricing scheme (RPS) which had been introduced in 1977, got confined only to urea.
Post liberalization, the government strategized a long term fertilizer policy to be completed in three different phase, beginning in 2000-01 and ending in 2006-2007.
Phase 1: 2000-01 and 2001-02
Evaluate existing capacity. Increase in urea prices from time to time. Evaluate the possibility of a coal based expertise. Promote joint ventures. Finalize policy on fertilizer pricing and capacity enhancement. Eliminate distribution controls on urea and augment concession scheme to bio fertilizers.
Phase II (2002-03-2003-04)
Finalize decision on feedback. Long term strategy of increased capacity. Decide on extent of protection to local industry. Eliminate MRP and encourage productive investment. Reorganize the association between the industry and farmers. Judicious utilization of fertilizer and greater emphasis on eco friendly fertilizer. Establish Fertilizer Policy Planning Board.
10 | P a g e
Phase III (2004-05-2006-07)
Removal of MRP Define government's role in decontrol setup and with respect to policy relating to LNG.
W T O Implications in India
The restriction on quantity of fertilizers to be imported has been eliminated from April 1, 2001.The proposed plan to establish a tariff rate quota (TRQ) for the import of urea has been deferred.
The Government has planned to impose a higher tariff of 150-200 per cent on imported urea in future. This would lead to increase in prices of imported urea and be detrimental to the demand supply gap which is likely augment in future.
Future Trends in India
India's demand for fertilizers in 2007-08 was 26 MM tons, which went up to 29 MM tons in 2008-09 against a supply of 20 MM tons in 2008-2009.
The demand for fertilizers in 2011-12 is forecasted to be around 35.5 MM tons. More fertilizer projects are in the pipeline. Gujarat is expected to play a leading role in fertilizer production. Indian companies have penetrated the overseas market, signaling a new phase for the
industry. South Asia (essentially Bangladesh, India and Pakistan) will become the world’s leading
importing region, with expanding import demand through 2014 for urea and phosphate products (DAP). It will rank as the world’s second largest potash importing region, with imports exceeding 5 Mt K2O in 2014 according to International Fertilizer Industry Association Report.
Indian fertilizer industry has reached international levels of capacity utilization by adopting various strategies for increasing the productions of fertilizers. These include the following:
Expansion and increase in efficiency through modernization and revamping of existing fertilizer units. Reviving some of the closed fertilizer plants. Using alternative sources, such as coal or liquefied natural gas for the production of fertilizers, especially urea. Establishing joint venture projects with companies in countries that abound in cheaper resources of raw materials.
11 | P a g e
In order to meet the demand for gas, which is one of the prime requirements for the production of nitrogenous fertilizers, India has entered into joint ventures with foreign companies in a number of countries. Joint ventures have also been established for the supply of phosphoric acid. Indian fertilizer manufacturing companies has joined hands with companies in Senegal, Oman, Jordan, Morocco, Egypt, Tunisia and other countries. It is, therefore, evident that the Indian fertilizer industry has witnessed extensive growth and development in a short span of time. With such extensive growth, it is not surprising that the India ranks among the leading fertilizer manufacturing countries of the world.
12 | P a g e
Major companies in Fertilizer Industry
The majority of the populace of India lives in rural areas and the foremost occupation in the villages is agriculture. Developments pertaining to different industries are being made on a massive scale to change the country's economy from an agrarian one to an industrial one. It is extremely important for the fertilizer industry India to have development in terms of technologically advanced manufacturing process and innovative new-age products. The first fertilizer manufacturing unit in India was set up in the year 1906 at Ranipat in ChennaiIn the present scenario, there are more than 57 large and 64 medium and small fertilizer production units under the India fertilizer industry. The main products manufactured by the fertilizer industry in India are phosphate based fertilizers, nitrogenous fertilizers, and complex fertilizers. The fertilizer industry in India with its rapid growth is all set to make a long lasting global impression.

In the above given table, we can see that ammonia and urea production and sales in Rupees.
The ammonia production is increasing with sales decreasing, this is because the ammonia is used
to also produce urea and through table we can see the urea sales is increasing with increase in it’s
production. Thus, the additional ammonia produced is used in production of urea which leads to
decrease in sale of ammonia

Captive Power Plant
Electric power generation is a state controlled subject. Of late, however, government has
liberalized captive power generation for the user industry for bridging the demand-supply gap.
The fact that private industries use captive power answers the question of financial viability.
30 | P a g e
With the ‘opening access’ policy has also made third party power sale quite lucrative. The
CERC amended Section-9 letting the Captive power plants using 25% of its power to sell
electricity through open access system (without requiring license). Earlier CPP consumed 75%
power and sell residual power to grid only after obtaining special clearance from the
government.
KRIBHCO is a National level Cooperative- Society which is engaged in manufacturing and
marketing of urea since 1986. The company operates a mega fertilizer complex at Hazira in
Gujarat, India. The fertilizer complex comprised of two streams of Ammonia plants of
1520MT/day capacity each and four Urea streams of 1310 MT/day each. The complex also
comprised of related offsite facilities, captive Steam and power generation (SGPG) plant, silos
for storing urea, Railway siding etc. and is self sufficient in terms of power and other utilities.
The captive power plant is a power plant set up by any person to generate electricity primarily
for his own use and includes a power plant set up by any co-operative society or association of
persons for generating electricity primarily for use of members of such cooperative society or
association (Electricity Act, 2003).The captive power and steam generation plant (SGPG) of
Hazira complex comprised of three high pressure boilers and two Steam turbo Generators
installed with plant producing 24MW and 260 MT/h (65MW equivalent) HP steam for utilizing
0.7 MMSCMD gas.
Captive SGPG plant comprises of
3 HP Boilers of 275MT/h MCR capacity each
2 steam Turbo Generators of 15 MW each
Requirement in Fertilizer Complex
HP steam requirement (by Urea Plant) = 260 MT/h
Complex power requirement (including argon) = 24 MW
The requirement was met by running 2 boilers at part loads to produce HP steam of about
390MT/h which were divided about 260 MT/h for urea plant for process use and 130 MT/h to
produce 24MW of power to meet power plant internal consumption.
The company decided for the Revamp of Ammonia and Urea plant to enhance the production
capacity, which is to be completed by Oct 2011. During the review meeting with MD on subject
31 | P a g e
matter GM (P), Sh. S. Jaggia put forward 2 scenarios on completion the revamp Project of
Ammonia and Urea Plant, which are as following:
A. Surplus steam of 70 MT/h will be produced in ammonia plant, leading steam production
requirement from SGPG plant to 190 MT/h from present 260 MT/h. Thus SGPG plant
shall be configured to provide 190 MT/h steam and 27 MW power to be utilized by the
fertilizer complex after revamp.
B. Alternatively, if a total power of 42 MW is made available to the fertilizer complex after
revamp( by April 2011 which was later extended to Oct 2011) a total of 150 MT/h steam
can be made available from ammonia plant by changing some of the complex from
present scheme of steam driven to motor drive system. In this case the HP steam
generation requirement from SGPG plant shall become only to 110 MT/h. thus, after
revamp project implementation requirement of power and steam to be generated from
SGPG plant including 3 MW requirement for Jetty, ICD’s, Argon plant etc. shall be
HP steam= 11 MT/h
Complex power requirement = 45 MW
The MD decided that alternative (B) shall be more feasible and adopted with work starting
immediately to meet the deadline of the Revamp of Ammonia & Urea plant so that enhanced
power requirement is met for the fertilizer complex of 45 MW along with most optimum
configuration of power and steam generation to produce maximum power for third party sale.
Thus, the Revamp of Captive Power plant was decided.
In order to meet the enhanced power requirement and to optimize the use of present available gas
for generation of surplus power for third party sale, it was proposed to revamp the power plants
by installing new Gas Turbines and HRSG as being used in modern power plants for
considerable enhancement of efficiency
According to recent data, the Ammonia and Urea Plant shall be completed by Oct 2011. On
completion of this revamp project, the requirement of high pressure steam and power of the
complex shall be changed to 174 MT/h and 37 MW respectively.
Consultant’s Work
It was found prudent to divide the project into two phases for the consultancy work.
Phase -1.Accordingly, ITB was floated for selection of Engineering Consultant to carry
out the configuration study, recommend the most optimum configuration and carry out
32 | P a g e
Techno- Economic Study for augmentation the Captive Power Plant, power evacuation &
Grid connectivity and to work out options for sale of power for maximum returns keeping
in view of various policies of third party power sale from Captive power plants..
Phase-2.The next phase shall be appoint a Consultant for providing services of an
“Owner’s Engineer” with responsible of preparation of DPR, specifications and tender
document for various EPC packages, issue of tenders, Bid evaluation and
recommendations for placing orders. In the last phase, a project Management Consultant
(PMC) shall be appointed who will provide services related to all aspects of project
Execution. This phase shall highest commercial implication.
For the phase-1 limited tender was issued and bids were called. The plant configuration
suggested by the consultant is based on two scenarios.
The Case-I is based under regulatory compliance by a CPP which permits a CPP to sell
power to third party only up to 49% of total generation will be limited to 72 MW with 37
MW in-house use and 35 MW for third party sale. The gas required in this case will be
about 0.7 MMSCMD. In this case one of the existing Service Boiler shall also be utilized
for generating steam to augment the steam generation from new HRSG for meeting the
shortfall for in-house requirement.
In Case-II, the maximum potential of power generation for third party sale has been
considered, utilizing total available gas of 1.0 MMSCMD. In this case the total power
generation shall be about 142MW with surplus available for sale of 105 MW. In case
total in-house steam shall be generated in new HRSG(S) to be installed. The existing
boiler shall become redundant in this case.

Care has been taken to ensure compatibility of selected models in such a way that
augmentation from case 1 to case 2 is ensured smoothly
In this project we are going to study and analyze the Case-I. This case was divided into three
cases with two alternative each from which the analysis takes place. These three cases were
differentiated on the basis of sale of surplus power.
The CASE- 1 defined on the Standalone Absolute Basis i.e. total 101 MW power is produced,
with 1% internal consumption and rest being exported/ transferred to the KRIBHCO.
The CASE-2 was defined on the Net Increment Basis i.e. the increment over what KRIBHCO is
presently producing (24 MW power and 260 MT//h steam)and what is to be produced (72 MW
power and 174 MT/h) which comes out to be 26.5 MW, out of which 50% is sold to KRIBHCO
itself.
The CASE-3 was defined on the Net Export Basis total power generated is 72 MW out of which
37 MW is for internal consumption and rest 35 MW is to be sold with nil variable cost. This case
was preferred by the company and consultant as the best option because of its technical
feasibility and as later analyzed physical feasibility providing the firm optimum solution. Thus,
it is further analyzed with two alternative available 5 and 6 in the Analysis chapter.
Cost Analysis of Alternatives
KRIBHCO has undertaken a major revamp project of Ammonia & Urea plants for capacity
enhancement. The project is under implementation and shall be completed by Oct 2011.
KRIBHCO commissioned a consultant to carry out the configuration study, recommend the most
optimum configuration and carry out the configuration study, recommend the most optimum
configuration and carry out the PMC services for the Captive Power Plant. On completion of this
34 | P a g e
revamp project, 150MT/h surplus HP Steam shall be generated in the Ammonia plant, which will
be exported to Urea plants. Under this scenario HP steam requirement from the SGPG plant shall
reduce to 125MT/hr from present value of 260 MT/hr. The power requirement of the complex
however shall increase to 45MW from present requirement of 24MW.Thus the SGPG plant, after
revamp of fertilizer plant needs to produce 125MT/h HP steam and 45MW power in-house
consumption.
It has been understood this project is a capacity augmentation of existing Power plant. EIL has
undertaken configuration study for Captive Power Plant for Case-1 and Case-2 under which
alternate scenarios has been considered for each case. Cost estimates for all scenarios have been
worked out.

As a trainee we had to follow a schedule in which we had spend a considerable time in each
section learning about different areas in finance department of the company. It was full of
wonderful learning experience. The employees were knowledgeable about their field as well
patient and considerate towards the trainees. In this chapter the given section of the company will
be discussed of what they do, why they do and when they do.
I. MIS/Budget/FICC
I studied capital budget and revenue budget first in this section. While reading these files I was
asked to follow certain guidelines such as
- The file has to be read from back to front.
- The files had photocopy of each of its documents as well some of it in hindi.
The capital budget is a plan for raising large and long term sums for investments in plant &
machinery, over a period greater than the period considered under an operating budget.
Capital budget is the most crucial financial decision of firm. It relates to the section of assets
or investment proposal or course of action whose benefits are likely to be available in future
over the lifetime of the project. There is no income or loss in this budget.
There are 4 types of scheme for which capital budget is made under 3 head- Head office,
CMO AND Plant . These are as follows:-
New Scheme
On -going Scheme
Dropped Scheme

*(Check Annexure-1 for the calculation)
Net Present ValueThe difference between the present value of cash inflows and the present value of cash outflows.
NPV is used in capital budgeting to analyze the profitability of an investment or project.
NPV analysis is sensitive to the reliability of future cash inflows that an investment or project
will yield.
Formula:
50 | P a g e
In this project Ms Excel is used as a tool for calculating NPV for all six alternatives at 12%
interest. Following are the cases and calculated NPV.
Case Alternative’
s
Cost of
Project
NPV
Case 3 Alternative-5 3950 7125.13
Alternative-6 4300 7070.57
If the NPV of a prospective project is positive, it should be accepted. However, if NPV is
negative, the project should probably be rejected because cash flows will also be negative.
Net Present Value of case is most favorable at Rs.7125.13 (alternatrive-5). Thus, the company
should go for Case-3. It is calculated for 25 years
Internal Rate of Return
The discount rate often used in capital budgeting that makes the net present value of all cash
flows from a particular project equal to zero. Generally speaking, the higher a project's internal
rate of return, the more desirable it is to undertake the project.
As such, IRR can be used to rank several prospective projects a firm is considering. Assuming all
other factors are equal among the various projects, the project with the highest IRR would
probably be considered the best and undertaken first.
Case Alternative’s IRR
Case 3 Alternative-5 43.87%
Alternative-6 39.95%
I have used Ms- Excel to calculate Internal Rate of Interest (IRR) at 10%. Assuming all other
factors are equal among the various cases, the case with the highest IRR would probably be
considered the best and undertaken first. In this case at alternative-5 with 43.87% this is quite
higher than other alternatives. It is calculated for 25 years.
Equity IRR
Equity IRR assumes the use debt for the project, so the inflows are the cash flows required minus
any debt that was raised for the project. The outflows are cash flows from the project minus any
51 | P a g e
interest and debt repayments. Hence, equity IRR is essentially the "leveraged" version of project
IRR.
Case Alternative’s Equity IRR
Case 3 Alternative-5 81%
Alternative-6 75%
I have calculated Equity IRR with help of Ms-Excel at 10%. Equity IRR is the cash flow return
to equity shareholders after debt repayments. In the given cases, the case at alternative-5 with
81% equity IRR. It is calculated for over 25 years.
Payback Period
The length of time required to recover the cost of an investment.
Calculated as:
Case Alternative’s PBP (in
years)
Case3 Alternative-5 3.4
Alternative-6 3.8
The short length of time is preferable. In this I calculated payback period within. As we can see
the case (alternate-5) at 3.4 years is the shortest time in which initial investment can be
recovered.
Debt-Service Coverage Ratio
In corporate finance, it is the amount of cash flow available to meet annual interest and principal
payments on debt, including sinking fund payments.
In general, it is calculated by:

Minimum DSCR
Maximum DSCR
Average DSCR
Case Alternative-5 35Mw 2.63 3.97 3.15Alternative-6 2.46 3.66 2.92
A DSCR of less than 1 would mean a negative cash flow. A DSCR of less than 1, say .95, would mean that there is only enough net operating income to cover 95% of annual debt payments. According to the calculated DSCR with help of Ms- Excel Case-3 alternative 5 provides the highest DSCR at minimum DSCR at 2.63 and maximum DSCR at 3.97. It is calculated for around 25 years.Sensitivity AnalysisA technique used to determine how different values of an independent variable will impact a particular dependent variable under a given set of assumptions. This technique is used within specific boundaries that will depend on one or more input variables, such as the effect that changes in interest rates will have on a bond's price.Sensitivity analysis is a way to predict the outcome of a decision if a situation turns out to be different compared to the key prediction(s).

“The analysis is done for Case-I for which EIL is responsible to prepare feasibility report as well provide with necessary solution.” The Captive Power Plant has been installed for KRIBHCO Fertilizer complex. In other words, the consistent fertilizer production needs uninterrupted, reliable Electrical Power & High Pressure Steam for running the different equipments/ Exchangers/ vessels of the Fertilizer complex. So, it basically a co-generation Thermal Captive Power Plant.KRIBHCO commissioned Engineers India Limited, New Delhi vide their LOI dated 25 th Feb 2010 to carry out the configuration study, recommend the most optimum configuration and to prepare a Techno- Economic for Feasibility Report for augmenting the existing Captive Power plant.According to financial statements prepared and investment appraisal done by the company itself. The company is taking three cases with different capacity of plant divided into standalone absolute basis, net increment of power basis, and net export of power basis. In these cases, two alternatives are provided to each with different cost of project.Through the assistance of capital budgeting decisions and its tools the company prepares its investment decision as we look through different cases. All the three cases were analyzed, with later selecting Case-3 for analysis to get the optimum solution.

If you look up at the write-up provided by company in annexure-2 as well as at the capital
budgeting decisions you’ll understand the company chose the Case- Net export basis at Case-I
of the project which is to be completed by Oct-2011. In the net export basis comprises of concept
where we look at it from only power point of view. Total power generated is 72 MW out of
which 37 is our own internal requirement. Thus 35 MW is being sold with nil variable cost. The
projected IRR, NPV and payback period is quite impressive. The annexure- 3 contains all the
financial statements related to alternative 5 which seems optimum solution.
Case Alternative’s Cost of Project(in Rs. Million Lakhs )
As well due the technical configuration where in Case-1(standalone absolute basis) utilizes it
1% for internal consumption and rest being exported/ transferred to KRIBHCO, whereas in
Case-2 (Net Increment basis) in which 50% of differential will be transferred to KRIBHCO
and balance 50% being sold outside with nil variable cost and in Case-3 from total power
generated 72MW, the 35MW is sold with nil variable cost after meeting internal requirement
of 37 MW. This is also one of the factors contributing in such vast difference in the NPV,
IRR as well other tools.

Conclusion
KRIBHCO is a National level Cooperative- Society which is engaged in manufacturing and
marketing of urea since 1986. The company operates a mega fertilizer complex at Hazira in
Gujarat, India. It includes two of two streams of Ammonia plants of 1520MT/day capacity each
and four Urea streams of 1310 MT/day each. The company decided on major revamp of the
Ammonia and urea plant to enhance the production. Due to enhancement of the production it was
found out extra power would be needed. Hence, the company decided the revamp of captive
power plant. Captive power plants are those power plants which use power generated for its own
consumption or that of the owner of plant to maintain a continuous supply.
The company has divided the whole Captive Power Plant (CPP) Revamp project in two phases.
This report was study of the first phase which is yet not completed. The Phase –I includes
Engineers India Ltd which had to carry out the configuration study, recommend the most
optimum configuration and carry out Techno- Economic Study for augmentation the Captive
Power Plant, power evacuation & Grid connectivity and to work out options for sale of power for
maximum returns keeping in view of various policies of third party power sale from Captive
power plants. EIL has carried out financial feasibility study with techno feasibility through
investment appraisal and capital budgeting decisions. According to investment appraisal, the
case-3 (NET EXPORT Basis) alternat-5 is the most feasible solution with surplus power of 35
MW for sale and 37 MW for internal Consumption.
Also the electricity board has liberalized captive power generation for the user industry for
bridging the demand-supply gap. With the ‘opening access’ policy it has also made third party
power sale quite lucrative. The CERC amended Section-9 letting the Captive power plants using
25% of its power to sell electricity through open access system (without requiring license). This
benefits the company in long way as according to analysis the chosen case-3 and alternate-5
follows the net export basis approach which allows company to sell surplus power.
57 | P a g e
Recommendation Through the years company’s reserves have increased in comparison of decrease in
equity. This increase can be due to the investment in the revamp of urea & ammonia plant to enhance production. The company is also investing in bank deposits at which its earning certain rate of return. - The company can also give a thought to Solar PV Power plants as through the years
the efficiency in cost reduction and power generation has increased also such project shows the company in great light over social responsibility.
The company with changing global environment is stepping up the global ladder. In Oman, the company is in joint venture (OMIFCO) for urea production. The company also attended the BRICS which recognizes cooperative societies among the member countries Brazil, Russian Federation, India, China and South Africa which benefits company in sharing knowledge, technology and information. The company can use this opportunity to invest in different economies and utilize resources of said economies.
The company can use Modified Internal Rate of Return. The modified internal rate of return takes into account the rate of investment of the cash flows that are not negative. It makes precise assumptions about these when functioning in the context of corporate finance.
The profitability index is a technique of capital budgeting. This holds the relationship between the investment and a proposed project's payoff. The profitability index is also sometimes called as value investment ratio or profit investment ratio. Profitability index is used to rank various projects. With other capital budgeting techniques it can help in guiding the decision making process.

Feasibility Report for Revamping Of Captive Power & Steam Generation Plant (SGPG)
The captive power plant is a power plant set up by any person to generate electricity
primarily for his own use and includes a power plant set up by any co-operative society or
association of persons for generating electricity primarily for use of members of such
cooperative society or association (Electricity Act, 2003).
Industrial sector is one of the largest consumers of electrical energy in India. However, a
number of industries are now increasingly relying on their own generation (captive and
cogeneration) rather than on grid supply, primarily for the following reasons:
Non-availability of adequate grid supply
Poor quality and reliability of grid supply
High tariff as a result of heavy cross-subsidization
Frequent unavailability of power from the grid is a critical problem faced by Indian industries, and with the Indian industry growing at a hectic pace, this deficit is even more harmful.According to a recent study carried out by the Manufacturers' Association for Information Technology (MAIT) and US-based power distribution solutions provider Emerson Network Power, India Inc lost Rs 43,205 crores (about $10 billion) in 2008-09 due to power outages. The revenue loss due to power failure grew at an average of 11.9% in the past five years.Many large companies have resorted to having their own captive power plants. At present, there are about 2,759 industrial units using captive generation power plants (both renewable and non-renewable) with a capacity of 1 MW and above. Many smaller businesses and commercial institutions rely to a large extent on diesel for backup power. To the latter and to some extent to the former, solar PV based power production could be an attractive option. This report will help you set up a captive solar PV power plant for your business or company
SWOT Analysis for the Indian Solar PV Industry
Strengths
A high growth industry with significant future potential.
Sunlight is available in sufficient quantities in many regions.
Technology proven, with low operation and maintenance costs, and scalable.
Availability of soft loans and government incentives for growth and expansion
Weakness
Solar PV systems have high capital costs.
75 | P a g e
Owing to high capital costs, the business needs external incentives to be economically
feasible, thus increasing dependence on governmental policies.
The capital intensive nature of the business might favor larger businesses over smaller
ones.
The distributed and intermittent nature of solar energy makes it difficult for utilities to
rely on solar PV for their base load.
Threats
Technology innovation is high, so there are risks of obsolescence.
Off-peak seasons reduce cash flow.
Industry is new, so finding skilled workforce could be a problem.
Opportunities
Opportunities exist all along the solar PV business value chain, not just for power plants.
Entirely new opportunities could open up as the there is high innovation in technology
and the technology could prove to be a disruptive business, especially with reductions in
costs in future.
Status of Solar PV Technology in India
76 | P a g e
About 40 companies are actively engaged in manufacturing solar cells and panels, and many
more companies produce end products such as solar lanterns, street lamps etc. The production in
the country during 2009-10 is estimated to be about 230 MWp of solar cells and 325 MWp of PV
modules.3 Nearly 90% of the solar modules manufactured in India use crystalline silicon C-Si
technology, while only 10% of the solar modules are manufactured using thin film technology.
Trends in Production of Solar PV Cells and Modules (MWp) in India
As of end 2009, the cumulative production of solar PV cells in India has been about 800 MW. Ofthis total, only a small portion has been used in applications within India, while the rest havebeen exported. Of the total amount of solar cells cumulatively used in India, the following arethe areas in which they have been applied
Application of Solar PV Cells (MW) in India – Sector wise
77 | P a g e
Future Potential
Most experts agree that the solar PV market worldwide as well as in India will continue
accelerating significantly for the foreseeable future. The global PV market is estimated to be 2.5
times its current size by 2014, based on a slowest growth scenario, while a ‘production led’ fast
growth scenario would see annual industry revenues approach $100 billion by 2014.
Currently, the Indian Solar PV manufacturing sector is export-led, and is much larger than the
country's total installed capacity. The manufacturing capacity of solar PV modules is further
expected to grow at a rate of 20 to 25 percent up to 2015 from about 1000 MWp as of 2009,
according to Frost & Sullivan.
In addition, the National Solar Mission’s target to achieve 20 GW by 2022, of which 50% will be
solar PV, and its plan to produce modules and cells domestically increases the need for
significant increases in module production capacity. Many states in India are also devising their
own, ambitious policies for solar PV power generation, with Gujarat being the most prominent
among the states.
Thus, there exists a huge manufacturing opportunity not only for the export market but also to
fulfill the NSM and state targets.
Similarly, India’s off-grid market has huge potential, especially in the areas such as rural
electrification, power irrigation pump sets, back-up power generation for the expanding network
of cellular towers across the country, captive power generation, urban applications and highway
lighting etc.
In addition to the government's initiatives such as Feed-in-Tariffs/Generation Based Incentive
(GBI) as part of the NSM, the incentives under the semiconductor policy, and other expected
incentives for the industry make the long-term prospects for this industry much brighter.
78 | P a g e
These targets and plans have potential to attract a variety of businesses in India, belonging to
diverse segments - manufacturing, installation, operation and maintenance, training engineering,
procurement & construction (EPC) businesses, and more. The rest of this report provides more
insights on the opportunities for these diverse segments.
Capital Cost
Solar PV has one of the highest capital costs of all renewable energy sources, but it has relatively
low operational costs, owing to the low maintenance and repair needs.
For a solar PV power plant, the approximate capital cost per MW is approximately Rs. 16 crores
– the precise cost depends on scale. This includes the cost of panels, the balance of systems, the
cost of land and other support infrastructures.

Investment in Solar PV in India
Until the end of 2009, Wind energy had held the attention of investors in India because it was
considered a proven investment. This segment is now considered comparatively mature and
many have started looking at other areas. Many investors see India’s potential in tapping solar
energy as even greater than wind, given that its sunny days are around 93% of the year and can
be more easily distributed.
According to a UNEP report, total investment in clean energy excluding large hydro power in
India grew 12% to $4.1 billion in 2008.
The largest portion of new investment in India went to the wind sector, growing 17% --
from $2.2 billion to $2.6.
Thanks to a supportive policy environment, solar investment grew from $18 million in
2007 to $347 million in 2008, most of which went to setting up module and cell
manufacturing facilities.
Both equity-based and debt-based investments into solar PV power plants in India are expected
to accelerate dramatically in 2010 owing to the National Solar Mission and similar thrusts
provided by the state governments for solar PV investments.
Some prominent examples of investments into solar PV that have taken place until Mar 2010 are
provided below
1. Azure Power

Financial Institutions That Fund Renewable Energy Projects in India
Some of the financial institutions that fund renewable energy projects in India are given below:
ADB IFC Proparco
DBS IL&FS Rabobank
DEG IREDA SBI
ICICI Bank PFC SBI Caps
IDFC Yes Bank
VC/PE Investment in India in Solar PV
Equity-based finance infusions are increasingly becoming common in renewable energy, though
in terms of overall amounts invested, project financing investments are significantly higher than
equity-based investments.
There are two primary equity-based investment possibilities:
Venture Capital
Private Equity
81 | P a g e
For medium and large capital requirements (upwards of $100 million), private equity is the most
optimal route, as venture capital companies try to invest relatively smaller amounts.
On the other hand, private equity companies consider investments only where the capital
requirements are medium or large; as a result, for smaller capital requirements (especially for
those that are less than Rs. 25 crores), venture capital is the most optimal option.
Private equity companies look for growth opportunities in relatively established companies with
steady revenue streams, and usually are more hesitant to invest in completely new technologies
and potentially high-risk ventures. Investing in solar PV power plants could fit in their portfolio
owing to the fact a long power purchase agreement with a government-backed entity assures
them of a stable revenue flow.
Venture capital companies look for innovative (and hence more risky) but high return investment
opportunities. As a result, few, if any venture capital companies invest in solar PV power plants,
where the potential upside is limited. Venture capital companies could be more interested in
financing innovative products and/or technologies in the solar PV value chain that have a high
“upside” potential.
Incentives Available
The following guidelines were issued in mid-June, 2010. The guidelines are for both solar PV
and solar thermal based energy.
Summary of JNNSM Guidelines for off-grid (captive, Rooftop etc.) solar systems:
The National Solar Mission aims to provide an enabling environment for solar
technology penetration in India.
For financial assistance, the government has declared that in projects availing this
scheme, in the debt and equity mixture, the promoters’ equity contribution must be at
least 20%.

PV constitutes a miniscule part in India’s installed power generation capacity with grid
connected solar PV generation at a mere 17.82 MW as of Dec 2010. PV installations in India
today almost entirely comprise small capacity applications. They are most visibly seen in
lighting applications (street lighting, and home lightning systems) in the cities and towns, and in
small electrification systems and solar lanterns in rural areas. PV is also being deployed to a
small degree in powering water pump sets.

Conclusion
Solar PV power production represents the most prominent opportunity segment. But while the
grid connected power production is in the limelight most times, attractive opportunities are
emerging for entrepreneurs in the off-grid segment as well
Some emerging models in solar power production could considerably reduce the risk of
adoption and be a win-win for all parties involved.
Significant opportunities exist beyond power production, in which companies in all
sectors – manufacturing, trading and services – could play a role.
Opportunities along the solar PV value chain exist for all sizes of businesses – small,
medium and large.
Specific industries that could benefit from these diverse opportunities include electrical,
chemical, software, construction/EPC service providers with equipment installation and
maintenance capabilities, and engineering and design firms.
It is imperative that the Indian entrepreneur analyzes these opportunities before making an
investment into the fast growing solar PV industry in India and with the decreasing capital cost
and low operational cost due to low repair and maintenance charges the Solar Photovoltaic
power plant seems a feasible solution in future especially with National Solar Incentives.

Synopsis
KRIBHCO
” Feasibility Report for Revamping Of Captive Power & Steam Generation Plant (SGPG) At Hazira”Student’s Name: Anshul MangalIndustry Guide: Mr. K.C. GuptaFaculty Guide: Ms. Deepmala Soni
The objective was to study the financial and investment viability of different alternatives for the revamp according to capital budgeting decisions.The company decided on major revamp of the Ammonia and urea plant to enhance the production. Due to enhancement of the production it was found out extra power would be needed. The electricity board has liberalized captive power generation for the user industry for bridging the demand-supply gap. With the ‘opening access’ policy it has also made third party power sale quite lucrative. Thus company is going for revamp of Captive power plantAccording to investment appraisal, the case-3 (NET EXPORT Basis) alternat-5 is the most feasible solution with surplus power of 35 MW for sale and 37 MW for internal Consumption.The industry guide Mr. K.C. Gupta and his subordinate Mr. S.K. Dewan were quite helpful and supportive to the study. They provided us all the necessary information and helped us to be comfortable and understand the workings of the project as well the department
