Industry Overview

India, being one of the fastest growing economies with ever increasing demand represents an attractive

destination for the power industry. The Indian power sector will add nearly 45,000 megawatt (MW) to its total

installed capacity by 2013-14 to the existing production, according to a RNCOS research report, 'Indian Power

Sector Analysis'.

Renewable energy is the new keyword in the Indian power sector and most of public and private players are

coming up with plans to tap the potential market, on back of favorable government policies and initiatives. To tap

the underlying potential, the States are focusing on those aspects of energy in which they have an edge, such as

solar power, wind power, hydro power etc.

India has been one of the top performing clean energy economies in the 21st century, registering the fifth highest

five-year rate of investment growth and the eighth highest in installed renewable energy capacity, according to a

research report released by The Pew Charitable Trusts.

According to RNCOS research report titled, 'Indian Solar Energy Market Analysis', the country portrays unlimited

growth potential for solar photovoltaic (PV) industry in future. India is endowed with vast potential of solar

energy and is quickly developing itself as a major manufacturing hub for solar power plants. Besides, it is

expected that the annual PV-installed capacity will grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of around

49.5 per cent during 2010-2014 to reach 1,500 MW by end of 2014.

Market Size

With a large swathe of rivers and water bodies, India has enormous potential for hydro power. Twelfth Five Year

Plan (2012-2017) includes additional 30,000 MW of hydro-electric power generation. India currently has 4.4

gigawatt (GW) of net electricity generation capacity using nuclear fuels (across 20 reactors) and aims to increase

it up to 20 GW by 2020; with one of the world's largest reserves of thorium, India has huge potential in nuclear

energy.

Wind energy is the largest renewable energy source in India; projects like the Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar

Mission (which aims to generate 20,000 MW of solar power by 2022) is creating a positive environment among

investors keen to exploit India's potential. India has large reserves of coal; estimates for FY11 put the figure at

about 285.8 billion tonnes. India's proven natural gas reserves measure about 1,074 billion cubic meters.

India's installed power generation capacity was 199.9 GW at the end of March 2012. India is set to become a

global manufacturing hub with investments across the value chain. About 82 GW worth of generation capacity is

set to be added during FY11-FY15; future investments will benefit from strong demand fundamentals, policy

support, and increasing government focus on infrastructure.

Investments

The investment climate is very positive in the power sector. Due to the surge in the sector, it has witnessed

higher investment flows than envisaged. The Ministry of Power has sent its proposal for addition of 76,000 MW

of power capacity in the Twelfth Five Year plan (2012-2017) to the planning commission. The ministry has set a

target for adding 93,000 MW in the Thirteenth Five Year Plan (2017-2022).

The industry attracted foreign direct investment (FDI) worth Rs 172.80 crore (US$ 31.57 million) in the month of

May 2012.

Some of the major investments made into the Indian power sector are as follows:

• National Aluminium Co Ltd (Nalco) has commissioned its first wind power project at Gandikota in

Kadapa district of Andhra Pradesh (AP). The company has invested Rs 275 crore (US$ 50.25 million) for

the 50 MW project

• KEC International, an RPG Group company, has secured orders worth Rs 1,511 crore (US$ 276.13 million)

in transmission, power system and cable businesses in India, Oman, Nepal and the US

• Essar Power has commissioned the first phase of 600 MW, of its 1,200 MW, Mahan I power project in

Madhya Pradesh (MP). The project entails an investment worth US$ 1.2 billion. The Mahan unit in MP will

be Essar's eighth operational power plant

• Lanco Infratech Ltd has signed a long-term sale contract of 300 MW power from its Unit 1 of Lanco

Amarkantak Thermal Power Station to MP

• Thermax has won a Rs 503 crore (US$ 91.92 million) turnkey contract from a Government enterprise to

set up a captive power plant for a new three million tonnes per annum (MTPA) integrated steel plant

Government Initiatives

The Government of India has initiated several policies to promote and garner investments in the power sector.

To accelerate capacity addition, several policy initiatives have been undertaken by the Ministry of Power.

Some of the prominent policies which have boosted the private player's confidence in the sector are:

• National Electricity Policy

• Ultra Mega Power Project Policy (UMPP)

• Mega Power Policy

• CERC Policy

• Tariff Policy

In order to attract foreign investments in the power sector, the Government of India as per extant policy has

permitted 100 per cent FDI under the automatic route in the power sector. Accordingly, any foreign power

company can enter power sector through FDI route.

Some of the initiatives taken by the Government of India to boost the power sector of India are:

• India and Malaysia have agreed to strengthen and promote cooperation in renewable energies, and to

take necessary steps to encourage their development for mutual benefits, as per Dr Farooq Abdullah,

Union Minister for New and Renewable Energy (MNRE)

• The Government of India plans to develop 54 cities as solar cities. The draft master plans have been

prepared for 28 cities, out of which 8 have been approved by the MNRE for implementation

• The State Cabinet has given its approval for the creation of Bihar Grid Company Ltd for which an

agreement would be signed between the Bihar State Power (Holding) Company Ltd or its associate

company and Power Grid Corporation of India Ltd (PGCIL), in a bid to strengthen the power transmission

system in the state

• The Government of Karnataka has decided to set up a 500 MW solar power complex in Chitradurga

district

• MNRE has proposed norms for viability gap funding (VGF) for large-sized solar power projects-750 MW

or 1,000 MW-that would come up in Phase II of the National Solar Mission

Road Ahead

The Government of India has initiated several reform measures to create a favourable environment for the newly

added generating capacity in the country. The policies and reforms have put in place a highly liberal framework

for generation of power in the country. The Government of India is adopting constructive steps towards

implementing large-scale solar power projects and is poised to position itself as one of the world's major solar

producer.

Currently biomass availability in India is estimated at about 500 million tonnes (MT) per year, while studies have

estimated surplus biomass availability at about 120-150 MTPA, covering agricultural and forestry residues

corresponding to a potential of about 18,000 MW of power generation, as per data provided by MNRE. "Of the

over 200,000 MW of installed power generation capacities in India, nearly 12 per cent or 25,000 MW is

generated from renewable sources", according to Mr Tarun Kapoor, Joint Secretary, MNRE, thereby encouraging

use of renewable energy sources for power generation in India.
