Station Station Station Station

Central Groups

• No new technology development• Poor technology customization• Weak technology improvement• Hamstrung cost improvements

• Inadequate system design improvements• Inadequate equipment design intervention• Inadequate use of Project Management techniques• Engg Services dormant• No cost rationalization instruments

• Missing self improvement & correction instruments• Bloated and outdated maintenance approach• Heavy Inventories• Sluggish Procurement methods• Inoptimal workforce utilization• Inadequate focus on fuel component• O&M services market lying dormant

The weak links are a result of the technology import culture from the Colonial legacy- especially as Electricity was considered an input and not an end unlike “Space” and “Nuclear” sectors

Emergence of Technology Implant Culture in India- so internalized that these are no longer viewed as problems...

Page 19: NTPC

The reason is late Indian entry to technology development arena. Affluent nations have had the advantage of SEQUENTIAL DEVELOPMENT facilitating knowledge systems development…

Indian Entry

Missed Opportunity• Few Technical Institutes established• No involvement in Engg. Sciences• Import escapism culture established• No studies on domestic conditions• Poor industry quality consciousness

Systemic Distortions•Focus on Equipment Multiplication• Electricity perceived as an input• Availability of easy imports• Low focus on T.D. development• Imported designs were implanted

Technology implants in the Electricity sector have had serious fall out on development of knowledge systems which are required for Technology Development

OEM Countries Scenario

Indian Industry Scenario

Page 20: NTPC

The effect entered even organisations set ups which do not differentiate between knowledge work, service functions and skill work…

Presence of distinct knowledge groups in the company structure provides a robust framework which facilitates informed management decisions and provides internal resources for new programme conceptualisation, roll out and midcourse corrections.

Typical Indian Organization

• Mixed up knowledge and service functions

• No education differentiation at entry

• Absence of filters on Management Levels

• Undifferentiated manpower movement

• No separate specialist cadres

Page 21: NTPC

The sequential development in original technology countries resulted in evolution of country wide systems with “Knowledge and Technology” focus...

The differentiator and key enabler in such systems is the collaboration of industry-labs- academia- The GOLDEN TRIANGLE

Page 22: NTPC

Competition alone- which is one key objective of the new target framework - without the systemic enablers will have limited improvement potential

For the Indian Power Sector to grow on the competitive turf spread by the new Electricity Law it is necessary to establish the Golden Triangle...

Cost Reductions- a quickly reachable destination• Systematic strategies are the only requirement• Solvable in 5-10 years time

Need to look at the bigger picture

The real challenge lies in the future- Dramatic changes are in the offing- Power sector has to shoulder these

Changing Times- the real challenge

Indian society today stands on a cusp beyond which progress will telescopically expand

The power sector has to reorient itself to the new challenges for positive deliverance
