Indian Power Industry
Scope eKnowledge Center Pvt Ltd, Jan 2001, Pages: 39
Electric power is the backbone of any economy and thus any development in the electric power industry will have a significant impact on the over all economic scenario and vice versa. Given the fact that Indian industry is growing at a rate of 6 percent per year, the role of electric power assumes more importance. The Government has taken many liberalization measures in the power generation sector. However, the demand still far-exceeds the supply and power cuts have become everyday reality. Thus, the situation indirectly offers a huge potential for private players, both domestic and overseas.
The report provides a complete analysis on the Indian power industry, starting with classifications/sub-classification in power sector based on functions (generation companies and Transmission& distribution companies) and ownership. A broad picture of the global power industry has been provided followed by a comprehensive comparison of Indian power sector scenario with that of the world.
The structure of the power industry in India, the regulations and regulators that control the power industry in India, a brief history of the control regime, the changes in the controls in the last decade have all been crisply captured in the report.
India is in a dire need of new capacities in the power sector. The report gives a comprehensive analysis about the fuel reserves, supply and demand conditions, the trend in capacity additions in various segments, demand growth and power shortages. The performance of Indian power sector in various performance parameters is very poor when compared with global standards. The main reason for this is the problems in the State Electricity Boards (SEB) and specific policies of government, like cross subsidies. The report analyzes problems of Indian power industry (like failure to meet capacity addition target, loss-making SEBs in a separate section etc).
The strategies and financials of the following major players are given in the report.
Central utility sector
