Vastly under capacity
•It takes Longer to
take freight from
Delhi to Mumbai
than Mumbai to
foreign ports.
•Many Large programs,
but not one National
Plan
•And on and on!
•Up to 2015, goods
traffic is expected to
rise at 15% /year

POWER
•Majority of Generation, Transmission and
Distribution capacities are with either public
sector companies or with State Electricity
Boards (SEBs)
• Private sector participation is increasing
especially in Generation and Distribution
- Distribution licences for several cities are
already with the private sector
- Many large generation projects have been
planned in the private sector
• Generation capacity of 164 GW (5th in the
world); CAGR of 4.6% over the last four years
• Low per capita consumption at 606 units;
less than half of China
•T & D network of 5.7 million circuit km – the
3rd largest in the world

POWER
•Large demand-supply gap: All India average energy shortfall of 7% and peak
demand shortfall of 12%
• The implementation of key reforms is likely to foster growth in all segments:
Unbundled SEBs; Open Access networks; privatised distribution circles; Tariff
reforms
•Opportunities in Generation for:
Coal based plants(imported coal); Natural Gas/CNG based turbines; 150 GW Hydel
power potential; MRO of old plants; Private/ foreign player entry in NPPs
•Opportunities in Transmission network ventures - additional 60,000 circuit km of
transmission network expected by 2012
•Opportunities in Distribution through bidding for the privatisation of distribution in
thirteen states that have unbundled/corporatised their State Electricity Boards –
expected to take place over the next 2-3 years
Total investment opportunity of about US$ 200 billion over a seven year horizon
Future Potential
Positive Outlook
POWER
• 100% FDI permitted in Generation,
Transmission & Distribution - the
Government is keen to draw private
investment into the sector
•Policy framework in place: Electricity Act
2003 and National Electricity Policy 2005
•Incentives: Income tax holiday for a block of
10 years in the first 15 years of operation;
waiver of capital goods import duties on
mega power projects (above 1,000 MW
generation capacity)
•Independent Regulators: Central Electricity
Regulatory Commission for Central PSUs and
inter-State issues. Each State has its own
Electricity Regulatory Commission.

Editor's Notes

  1. The installed capacity figures in respect of RES is based on statement dated 31.03.10 received on 28-05-10 from Ministry of Renewable Energy(MNRE) where cumulative Grid interactive power installed capacity has been indicated as 16817.04 MW. Reconciliation of installed capacity of Hydro capacity resulted in transfer of 135 MW from conventional to SHP-RESand retrieval of installed capacity of 67.20 from SHP-RES to conventional Hydro has resulted in net addition of 67.8 MW to SHP under RES. Also 30 MW of capacity in the nature of Waste Heat Recovery Power Plant at Goa Energy Private Limited under U&I category of RES Out of this installed capacity due to wind - (374.636 MW) and small hydro (110.79 MW) appearing in captive capacity has been deducted to arrive at installed capacity of utilities in respect of RES.(16817.04-485.43+67.8+30=16429.42).
  2. Over 90,000 MW of new generation capacity is required in the next seven years - A corresponding investment is required in transmission and distribution networks     Power costs need to be reduced from the current high of 8-10 cents/unit by a combination of lower AT & C losses, increased generation efficiencies and added low cost generating capacity
  3. Problems to be overcome Inadequate power generation capacity; Lack of optimum utilisation of the existing generation capacity; Inadequate inter- regional transmission links; Inadequate and ageing sub- transmission and distribution network leading to power cuts and local failures/faults; Large scale theft and skewed tariff structure; Slow pace of rural electrification; Inefficient use electricity by the end users Lack of grid discipline
  4. PETROLEUM INDUSTRY The Petroleum Industry can be broadly classified as Upstream and downstream. The upstream consists of exploration and production of crude oil while the downstream consist of refining the crude oil and marketing of the petroleum products. ONGC, OIL, RIL and Cairn India are the major players in the upstream sector while IOCL, BPCL, HPCL, RIL and Essar are the major players in the downstream sector. PETROLEUM SECTOR Petroleum sector has immense strategic importance because of their numerous use and hence countries try to attain self sufficiency or reliability in crude oil production. It is an important part of foreign policy of major countries. We in India are heavily dependent on imports(75%) and to mitigate this dependence various steps are been taken by the government.
  5. The steps to boost crude oil production can be classified in 2 categories Domestic Production: through New Exploration Licensing Policy(NELP) which aims to accelerate the pace of hydrocarbon exploration in the country. 36 oil blocks were awarded to public and private companies in 2009 under NELP-VIII. The next round of NELP-IX is due in 2011 and the bids have already been invited for 34 blocks. Krishna-Godavari Gas discovery which is now producing 80 MMSCMD and Barmer Oil field in Rajashthan which is expected to yield 6.5 Bn Barrels/day were awarded under NELP. Overseas Acquisition: National Oil companies are been encouraged to acquire Oil field abroad. ONGC Videsh Limited (OVL) and the JV of OIL-IOCL and BPCL-Videocon are aggresively bidding for it. OVL has acquired 7 blocks while IOC-OIL have acquired 3 blocks abroad.
  6. Currently the national refining capacity is 182 MMTPA out of which Reliance accounts for a third. Approximately 120 MMTPA is domestically consumed while the left is exported. RIL’ Jamnagar refinery is totally export oriented and thus while we are net importers of crude oil, we are also the net exporters of petroleum products. By the end of 2012 our refining capacity would be around 255 MMTPA a growth of 60% in the next 2 years.
  7. Expansion Projects at Panipat, Haldia, Mumbai, Vizag and vadodra refinery
  8. Teledensity is an important indicator of telecom penetration. It increased from 12.7% in March 2006 to 56.83% in June 2010. CAGR of 60% p.a. since 2004. India has the second largest wireless network in the world. Wireline connections declined in recent years. With increasing competition, ARPU has decreased while the customer base has expanded.
  9. 3G Telecom Services: Presently, India is operating on 2G and 2.5G services. But with the integration of Indian Economy with world economy, Need of the hour is faster internet services to be available on mobile phones. 3G not only gives faster internet connectivity, but also other services like Video Conferencing, which will help Indian businessmen to be connected on the go. The government recently announced guidelines for penetration of 3G. This provides new opportunities to existing players and also for foreign players to enter the Indian markets. Mobile Number Portability: Allows any subscriber to change his service provider without changing his number. With MNP coming into place, telecom service providers will be forced to improve their quality of service to retain customers. VAS: The VAS industry in India generated revenue of US$ 1.2 billion in 2007–08 and is expected to reach US$ 4.0 billion by 2015. Major growth drivers for VAS in India • Increasing focus on localisation and availability of content in local languages• Development of M-Commerce applications, such as booking tickets and making bill payments• Availability of mobile TV and development of shows, films, etc., for the same WiMax: WiMax has been one of the most significant developments in wireless communication in the recent past. Since this mode of communication provides network access in inaccessible terrains at a speed of more than 4 Mbps, it is expected to be a major factor in driving telecom services in India, especially the wireless services. Thus, it will lead to the increased use of telecom services, Internet, value added services and enterprise services. Manufacturing: Vast range of telecom equipment, using stat-of-art technology manufactured in India. Factors such as facilitative policies, large talent pool in R&D and low labor costs can provide an impetus to telecom manufacturing industry in India. Enterprise Telecom Services: Telecom service providers are increasingly targeting enterprises by providing them dedicated services. Some of the key services include VoIP, dedicated telecom communication systems; IT infrastructure-enabled unified communication services, etc. This segment is expected to witness major developments as the demand or enhanced telecom infrastructure is increasing along with the growth in the information and communication technology (ICT) industry. Managed Service: Managed service is another segment that is attracting telecom companies. On account of the rapidly growing subscriber base, service providers find it difficult to manage their infrastructure and network. In such cases, they completely or partially outsource their infrastructure or network management operations. Rural telephony: As the government targets to increase rural teledensity to 25 percent by 2012, rural telephony will require major investments. This segment will boost the demand for telecom services, equipment, Internet services and other value-added services; thereby, offering great market opportunities for telecom players.
  10. The government is implementing a program of connecting 66,822 uncovered villages under the Bharat Nirman programme. The government will invest US$ 2 billion to set up 112,000 community service centres in rural India to provide broadband connectivity in 2008-09. The Department of Telecommunications (DoT) has stated that foreign telecom companies can bid for 3G spectrum without partnering with Indian companies. Only after winning a bid, would they need to apply for unified access service licence (UASL) and partner with an Indian company in accordance with the FDI regulations. PAST POLICIES National Telecom Policy,1994: Availability of telephone on demand, provision of world class services at reasonable prices. Telecom Regulatory Authority of India: The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) was, thus, established with effect from 20th February 1997 by an Act of Parliament, called the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India Act, 1997, to regulate telecom services, including fixation/revision of tariffs for telecom services which were earlier vested in the Central Government. New Telecom Policy, 1999: Key features of the NTP 99 include: ·       Strengthening of Regulator. ·       National long distance services opened to private operators. ·       International Long Distance Services opened to private sectors. ·       Private telecom operators licensed on a revenue sharing basis, plus a one-time entry fee. Resolution of problems of existing operators envisaged. ·       Direct interconnectivity and sharing of network with other telecom operators within the service area was permitted. ·       Department of Telecommunication Services (DTS) corporatised in 2000. ·       Spectrum Management made transparent and more efficient. Broadband Policy, 2004: Recognizing the potential of ubiquitous Broadband service in growth of GDP and enhancement in quality of life through societal applications including tele-education, tele-medicine, e-governance, entertainment as well as employment generation by way of high-speed access to information and web based communication; Government announced Broadband Policy in October 2004.
  11. The sources of funds of infrastructure are very much similar to the sources of funds for a corporate entity. The sources could be divided on the basis of instrument (debt and equity), institution offering funds (government institutions - like IIFC, banks and foreign investors) and promoters (government, private sector, or Public Private Partnership). With the economy of India growing at a fast pace, investments in infrastructure has become inevitable. 11th Five Year Plan has called for doubling the investments in infrastructure as compared to the previous 5 year plan. Investment to touch $1.48 trillion by 2017. The share of private investment (including PPP & non PPP) is expected to rise to 30% by the year 2012. There has been inflow of funds from international markets also. The major hitch which the infra industry faces is that of the mismatch between tenure of the funds and the tenure of the project. While the project’s tenure is around 12-15 years, most of the funds are allotted for a period of 7-10 years.
  12. There are 5 infrastructure sectors among the top 10 sectors which receive the FDI funding. These 5 sectors amount to 28% of the total FDI funding to the economy.
  13. PPP is an arrangement between private and public sector, which brings the funds of the public sector and the expertise of the private sector together. It has been a very successful initiative and has undertaken 180 projects till June 2010. It mainly invests in roads and highways, though it has invested in all the other sectors also. The government has fastened the process of approval of such parternerships through setting up Public Private Partnership Appraisal Committee. India Infrastructure Finance Company was set up in the year 2006 to address the mismatch of the tenure of funds and the tenure of the project. It funds up to 20% of the capital costs of the project. There is a direct clearance for PPP projects. Purely private projects could also raise funds from IIFC, but with stricter norms. IIFC is funded by various sources, and it raises money on the backing of government guarantees.
