EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

        Availability of power is one of the important ingredients for industrial growth. It
is an important infrastructure facility without which no industrial activity can be
thought of in modern times. Increasing automation of Indian industries has created
huge demand of power in India. This huge demand has resulted into demand supply
gap in India in recent times.


        This report gives an extensive study of Power Sector. Analysis of the power
sector by PORTER’s Five Force Model and through SWOT analysis gives the
direction of the sector. Environmental impact of the sector is discussed.


        The PORTER’s five forces analysis, SWOT analysis are used to analyze the
industry of power sector. The various analyses show that there has been a
continuous growth in generation and consumption of power in India.


        World electricity generation rose at an average annual rate of 3.7% from 1971
to 2004, greater than the 2.1% growth in total primary energy supply. Total world
consumption of marketed energy is projected to increase by 50 percent from 2005 to
2030.

POWER SECTOR ANALYSIS            2|P age
The energy required to support our economies and lifestyles provides
tremendous convenience and benefits. Energy consumption is reportedly higher in
countries where less than 5 % of the population lives below the poverty line than it is
in countries where most people live in poverty -- four times higher.


For example, Americans make up less than 5 % of the world’s population yet
consume 26 % of the world’s energy. World electricity generation rose at an average
annual rate of 3.7% from 1971 to 2004, greater than the 2.1% growth in total primary
energy supply. This increase was largely due to more electrical appliances,
development of electrical heating in several developed countries and rural
electrification programmes in developing countries.


De-regulation in areas of the global energy markets has led to fierce competition.
Now more than ever electricity has to be produced at a lower cost with many
countries imposing ever tightening environmental legislation to reduce the impact
power generation has on the environment. The enormous challenges are recognised
in providing electricity as efficiently as possible and strive to develop technology to
meet your needs. Collectively, developing countries use 30% of the world's energy,
but with projected population and economic growth in those markets, energy
demands are expected to rise 95 %. Overall global consumption is expected to rise
50 % from 2005 to 2030.


World energy consumption is projected to expand by 50% from 2005 to 2030 in the
IEO2008 reference case projection. Although high prices for oil and natural gas,
which are expected to continue throughout the period, are likely to slow the growth of
energy demand in the long term, world energy consumption is projected to continue
increasing strongly as a result of robust economic growth and expanding populations
in the world’s developing countries.


Energy demand in the OECD economies is expected to grow slowly over the
projection period, at an average annual rate of 0.7%, whereas energy consumption
in the emerging economies of non-OECD countries is expected to expand by an
average of 2.5 % per year.

China and India—the fastest growing non-OECD economies—will be key
contributors to world energy consumption in the future. Over the past decades, their
energy consumption as a share of total world energy use has increased significantly.
In 1980, China and India together accounted for less than 8 % of the world’s total
energy consumption. In 2005 their share had grown to 18 %. Even stronger growth is
projected over the next 25 years, with their combined energy use more than doubling
and their share increasing to one-quarter of world energy consumption in 2030 in the
IEO2008 reference case. In contrast, the U.S. share of total world energy
consumption is projected to contract from 22 % in 2005 to about 17 % in 2030.


Energy consumption in other non-OECD regions also is expected to grow strongly
from 2005 to 2030, with increases of around 60 % projected for the Middle East,
Africa, and Central and South America. A smaller increase, about 36 %, is expected
for non-OECD Europe and Eurasia (including Russia and the other former Soviet
Republics), as substantial gains in energy efficiency result from the replacement of
inefficient Soviet-era capital stock and population growth rates decline.

POWER SECTOR ANALYSIS       6|P age
The process of electrification commenced in India almost with the developed
world, in the 1880s, with the establishment of a small hydroelectric power station in
Darjeeling. However, commercial production and distribution started in 1889, in
Calcutta (now Kolkata). In the year 1947, the country had a power generating
capacity of 1,362 MW. Generation and distribution of electrical power was carried out
primarily by private utility companies such as Calcutta Electric. Power was available
only in a few urban centers; rural areas and villages did not have electricity. After
1947, all new power generation, transmission and distribution in the rural sector and
the urban centers (which was not served by private utilities) came under the purview
of State and Central government agencies. State Electricity Boards (SEBs)
were formed in all the states.


Legal provisions to support and regulate the sector were put in place through the
Indian Electricity Act, 1910. Shortly after independence, a second Act - The
Electricity (Supply) Act, 1948 was formulated, paving the way for establishing
Electricity Boards in the states of the Union.


In 1960s and 70s, enormous impetus was given for the expansion of distribution of
electricity in rural areas. It was thought by policy makers that as the private players
were small and did not have required resources for the massive expansion drive, the
production of power was reserved for the public sector in the Industrial Policy
Resolution of 1956. Since then, almost all new investment in power generation,
transmission and distribution has been made in the public sector. Most of the private
players were bought out by state electricity boards.


From the installed capacity of only 1,362mw in 1947, has increased to 97000 MW as
on March 2000 which has since crossed 100,000 MW mark India has become sixth
largest producer and consumer of electricity in the world equaling the capacities of
UK and France combined. The number of consumers connected to the Indian power
grid exceeds is 75 million.

India's power system today with its extensive regional grids maturing in to an
integrated national grid, has millions of kilometres of T & D lines criss-crossing
diverse topography of the country.


However, the achievements of India's power sector growth looks phony on the face
of huge gaps in supply and demand on one side and antediluvian generation and
distribution system on the verge of collapse having plagued by inefficiencies,
mismanagement, political interference and corruption for decades, on the other.
Indian power sector is at the cross road today. A paradigm shift is in escapable- for
better or may be for worse.

POWER SECTOR ANALYSIS            10 | P a g e
The need for electricity – for productive purposes and for extending home
electrification – far outstrips supply in India.


Electricity generation has several impacts on the environment, depending on the
choice of technologies. While the evaluation of specific power plants would
necessitate the assessment of site and plant-specific issues, in general, one can
consider source-specific local, regional, and global impacts.


LOCAL IMPACTS
       Large power sources can affect their surroundings through impacts such as
air pollution, submergence of land and waste accumulation, excessive resource use
and disruption of human activity.


The impacts of coal-based thermal plants are particularly important in a study of
India, as these plants currently provide the largest generating capacity in India, and
about 80% of the actual generation. Electricity generation consumed 67% of India’s
coal use, in 2002; further, India’s coal consumption is projected to grow 2.2%
annually between 2002 and 2025 (EIA, 2005).


Most of the existing thermal power plants in India use the traditional pulverized coal
combustion technology. As a result, they have to contend with gaseous emissions
including carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, sulphur dioxide,
mercury and particulate matter. Coal-burning thermal power plants in India are
responsible for about 40% of the country’s SO2 and 41% of its CO2 in 2000. Coal-
plant emissions far outweigh those from other fossil-fuel plants contributing to acid
rain, and air pollution and the consequent adverse effects on health.


When based on locally mined coal, the associated problems of mining accidents and
land degradation are serious. In some areas, the use of high ash coal results in
disposal problems, although ash does have productive uses such as brick-making.
However, with the alternative fossil-fuel options, oil- and gas-based plants, too,
issues of waste disposal and possible drilling and pipeline accidents have to be
considered. The water use by some thermal plants constitutes a more serious

POWER SECTOR ANALYSIS                                                      11 | P a g e
problem; Indian thermal power plants reportedly use 88% of the country’s industrial
water supply (DTE, 2003). Temperature increases and pollution of receiving water
bodies through inadequately treated effluents have also to be dealt with.


Although based on a clean and renewable source, large hydroelectric plants are not
impact free. Large dams can cause submergence of human settlements and natural
forests, adversely affecting or even destroying people’s livelihoods, particularly
traditional lifestyles, and also terrestrial ecosystems. However, the magnitude of
these impacts varies with the location and the height of the dams constructed.
With nuclear power plants, radiation hazards (not only through accidents), and
disposal of radioactive spent fuel must also be contended with. Thus far, no country
is sure of safe and permanent waste disposal. And, while clean in terms of carbon-
emissions, both ends of the nuclear fuel cycle – uranium mining and nuclear waste –
have harmful environmental impacts, if not very carefully managed.


However, environmental impact costs are not easily quantifiable. Pollution-induced
health impacts are underestimated when economically disadvantaged people do not
obtain medical treatment; similarly, disruption costs of displaced communities could
be inestimable.


REGIONAL IMPACTS
Regional pollution issues, for example the issue of acid rain and sulphur deposition,
have received attention in Northeast Asia. While the magnitude of coal-fired power
plants' contribution may be disputed, particularly during winter and spring, when
dominant high pressure systems sweep accumulated pollutants off the landmass
toward the eastern ocean mass.


GLOBAL IMPACTS
The Indian power sectors contribute about 52% of the carbon emissions in the
country. Due to the magnitude of its electricity generation, China’s total carbon
emissions are over three times those from India and even on a per capita basis are
over 2½ times. However, as emissions per capita are low by international standards
(EIA, 2003), and developing countries are not required to adopt greenhouse gas

(GHG) reduction targets under the Kyoto protocol (in effect from February 16, 2005),
global issues currently remain less important than local impacts.

PORTER’S FIVE FORCE MODEL:
          The model of pure competition implies that risk-adjusted rates of return should
be constant across firms and industries. However, numerous economic studies have
affirmed that different industries can sustain different levels of profitability; part of this
difference is explained by industry structure.


          Porter’s model is based on the insight that a corporate strategy should meet
the opportunities and threats in the organizations external environment. Especially,
competitive strategy should base on and understanding of industry structures and
the way they change.


Supply
Many projects have been planned but due to slow regulatory environment, the
supply is far lesser than demand. Currently, India needs to double its generation.
Many projects have been planned but due to slow regulatory environment, the
supply is far lesser than demand. Currently, India needs to double its generation
capacity to meet the potential demand.


Demand
The long-term average demand growth rate is 6%.


Barriers to Entry
Barriers to entry are high, as entering this business requires heavy investment
initially. The other barriers are fuel linkages, payment guarantees from State
Governments, Retail distribution licensed, etc.


Bargaining Power to Suppliers
Not very high as Government controls tariff structure. However, this may change the
future.


Bargaining Power of Customers
Bargaining power of retail customers is low, as power is in short supply. However,
Government is a big buyer and payment by Government can be more erratic.

Competition
Not high currently. The Electricity Act, 2003 will encourage investments, thereby
increasing competition.


SWOT ANALYSIS
STRENGHTS AND OPPORTUNITIES OF POWER SECTOR:
    Well established and vast transmission and distribution network.
    Highly qualified engineering and technical personnel.
    Regulatory framework is further facilitated with enactment of Electricity Bill,
      2003.
    The Electricity Bill, 2003 holds promises for the power sector and certainly for
      the consumer by way of competition reliability and rationalized tariff structure.
    Emergence of strong and globally comparable central utilities (NTPC,
      POWERGRID).
    India    has   substantial   non-conventional    energy       resource   base    and
      technologies to meet growing power requirements by tapping this energy.


WEAKNESSES AND THREATS TO POWER SECTOR:
    Poor infrastructure has led to heavy T&D losses. Old and poor transmission
      and distribution network has led to frequent power outages and poor quality of
      power
    Lack of proper metering and theft has led to large scale losses. Only 51% of
      the power generated is billed and only 41% is realized
    Moreover, Government provides power to agricultural sector at subsidized
      rates and also free of cost in some states. All these factors have resulted in
      financial disorder of the State Electricity Boards (SEBs).
    Restoration of SEBs financial health and improvement in their operating
      performance continues to be a critical issue. The Government of India has
      signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with various states reflecting
      the joint commitment of centre and states to undertake reforms in a time
      bound manner
    Poor return to utilities, which affect their profitability and capacity to make
      further investments

 Increasing gap between unit cost of supply & revenue, approximately Rs 1.10/
     unit
   Managerial and financial inefficiencies in state sector utilities have adversely
     affected capacity addition and systems improvement
   Non-availability of quality coal may hamper thermal plants’ efficiency in power
     generation
   Inability of SEBs to raise funds, as most of the SEBs is on the verge of
     bankruptcy due to poor operational performance. Adding to the problems,
     SEBs need huge money to measure up competition from efficient private
     players
   The major risk of privatizing a critical sector like power is the precedence of
     commercial over public interest. Some of these interests that will take a back
     seat include development of environment friendly generation and provision of
     electricity for rural areas. The new Electricity Act does not provide any specific
     financial incentives for private players to address public issues
   The SBEs which are right now holding 60% of total installed capacity, will be
     hit adversely by some provisions of the new electricity act such as delicensing
     of generation and open access for IPPs and CPPs, there by such units will
     take away the most lucrative customers (like industrial and commercial users)
     from the SEBs. This will not only affect SEB’s but also the entire power sector
     for near term.

Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited
       Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL) was set up in 1959 by the
Government of India with the objective of creating indigenous manufacturing base for
power plant equipments. Today, BHEL is the 12th largest company in the world in
Power Plant Equipments manufacturing and the largest in India. The company has
the ability to manufacture the entire range of power plant equipment and has one of
the largest capacities of power plant equipment in the world. This enables the
company to bid for large power projects. BHEL's cost-competitiveness vis-a-vis
international competition in the power sector can be attributed to the factors like fully
depreciated manufacturing facilities, lower labour and freight costs and economies of
scale. Apart from being the lowest cost producer, BHEL also possesses the
infrastructure that can supply power equipment for 4,000 MW of generating capacity
annually.

       The company operates through 14 plants and 9 service centers. The major
inhibiting factor for the growth of BHEL in the past has been lack of access to large
fund base. The company is a candidate for disinvestment as the Central Government
has decided to offload atleast 20% of its stake towards a strategic partner. This could
help the company in the long run as the strategic partnership could bring in benefits
like access to new technologies and capital.

       The business of BHEL is focused essentially on two broad segments, viz.
Power Equipment, accounting for 60% of revenue, and, Industrial Equipment, and
accounting for the rest. Earlier the company was focused on the Power Equipment
only. However, in order to reduce the dependence on power utility providers (SEBs),
the company widened its focus area and hence product base. BHEL is now
manufacturing equipments for industrial users, railways and several other industries
including telecommunications, metallurgical and process industry.


       BHEL's forte is coal-based Thermal Power Plants. BHEL's products, services
and projects are exported to over 52 countries including United States and New
Zealand. BHEL's market share in the coal-based thermal power plant segment is
75%, 65% in nuclear-based thermal plants, 50% in hydro-based thermal power

plants. However, in the emerging gas-based combined cycle thermal plants, which
     have short gestation period, the company has a relatively low market share of just
     18%. BHEL also provides services of erecting plants and executing projects on a
     turnkey basis. The cumulative capacity of power generating equipment supplied by
     BHEL outside India is over 3000 MW.

         o Existing tactic in the market will not help in the current scenario

   Suppliers

         o Materials, parts, components, other resources

         o Suppliers are well diversified across the globe

         o Prompt delivery by Suppliers are ensured by BHEL

   Substitutes

         o Has many substitutes that might pose a threat

         o Has less diversification with sectors, so that concentrated focusing on
            the respective sector avoids chance of getting substituted

         o Eg. Power Sector Equipments, Industry Equipments

         o Has a order book worth thousands of crores

 Buyers

         o Wide Customer base in India and in all parts of the world

         o   With excellent customer satisfaction the order are booked for the next
             two years (Information from the employee)




SWOT Analysis:

Strengths:

    The company has 180 products under 30 major product groups that cater to
      the needs of the core sector like power, industry, transmission, transportation,
      defence, telecommunications and oil business.
    BHEL's ability to acquire modern technology and make it suitable to Indian
      conditions has been an exceptional strength of the company.
    Strong relationship with NTPC is the strength, as NTPC is planning a capacity
      expansion of Rs. 52 bn and based on the past, 85% of NTPC projects have
      been bagged by BHEL. The company also enjoys purchase price preference.

Weaknesses:

    PSU status is a big weakness for BHEL as it is subject to their rules and
      regulations and is forced to carry a huge amount of labor force, which it is not
      able to retrench.
    The company offers very stringent credit facilities to the customers and this is
      a weakness when compared in the face of rising competition. On the other
      hand their customers in the power segment, SEBs, have a huge amount of
      receivables standing against their name in the company's balance sheet. This
      is a major weakness for the company.
    The company is vertically integrated, which could have been avoided by
      outsourcing its components for power generation and transmission. This could
      have reduced the cost.

Opportunities:

    The power sector reforms are expected to pick up in the near future in India,
      which would directly benefit BHEL.
    Increase in defence budget will increase the topline for the company.
    NTPC is planning additional capacities to the tune of 2,800 MW, at a cost of
      Rs 52 bn. BHEL could benefit a lot as it has happened in the past that
      significant portion of the project of NTPC is handled by BHEL. Nearly 85% of
      the NTPC projects were assigned to BHEL only.
    The business of modernization and renovations of power plants is expected to
      grow in India.
    The disinvestment plans of the government would bring in new resources and
      experience into the company.
    Joint Venture with Siemens in the name of Powerplant Performance
      Improvement Ltd. (PPIL), is a major strength for the company. This tie-up will
      be beneficial as there is a lot of scope for business. During FY00 the PPIL
      received orders worth Rs. 320 crore.

Threats:

    The global trend of consolidation has already resulted in a fall in turnover of
      the company and this will prove to be a major threat in the years to come as
      well.
    The company is dependent on NTPC to a great extent.
    Recently, the government has permitted the import of second hand capital
      goods that are 10 years old without the need for a license. This move will
      definitely increase competitive pressures for BHEL.

o Energy Segment

                  Underperforming, no signs of near future recovery

         o Flexibility

                  Large and diverse businesses might overstretch the company
                   and reduce reaction times to shifts in targeted markets

         o Higher prices

    Opportunities

         o Research and Development

                  Immense capital allows GE to contribute a lot to R&D for product
                   development and improvement

FIVE FORCE ANALYSIS

Strengths
• Strong parental support gives ALSTOM a clear edge in integrated power and
hydroelectric projects.
• Strong order backlog (Rs30 bn+, >2.4XFY07 revenues) imparts earnings visibility.
• Strong references in India provide a definite advantage to ALSTOM for future
projects.
• ALSTOM is one of the few players to execute hi-end power projects in India.

Weaknesses
• ALSTOM has a longer execution cycle (Hydro projects >5 years, gas projects 2-
2.5 yrs & steam > 4 years)
• ALSTOM’s hydro projects carry various risks including on environmental issues
over which ALSTOM has no control.
• ALSTOM operates in a cyclical industry where business volumes are dependent
upon government plans.


Opportunities
• 11th & 12th Plans comprise 72%+ (coal & lignite) capacity addition in 660/800 Mw
unit size.
• Huge capex in generation (11th plan envisages 157% more than what was
achieved in the 10th plan).

Threats
• Competition with the likes of BHEL remains a key threat for ALSTOM.
• Problems with fuel (like gas) could lead to cancellation / delays in planned projects.

Porter’s Five Force analysis

The Intensity of Competitive Rivalry
      The number of players in the power sector it comes to providing fully
integrated service are few but the intensity of competitive rivalry can be termed as
medium as there is sufficient scope available in the industry for all the existing
players.


Bargaining Power of Suppliers
      As the requirement of equipments are growing exponentially, the supply of
Power Equipments can be met by Importing or from the domestic suppliers. So the
bargaining power of the Supplier is medium enough to tackle in the current scenario.


Bargaining Power of Buyers
      In today’s world customer is the king. The power sector has to be developed
at a much rapid pace to cope up with the development activities which are in
progress. So that the bargaining power of the Buyer is more when compared to other
sectors.


The Threat of Substitute Product
      As renewable power generation for the world the threat of substitute product
is low. Wind power projects are also the most preferred bearing in mind the large
coastline, which we posses.


The Threat of New Entrants
      As the power sector are highly capital intensive and involves large amount of
commitment in terms of capital , assets and work- force the threat of new entrants is
low . As only those organizations which have the required capabilities and are willing
to take the risk of entering a sector which can be seen as still developing will enter
the market. New entrants such as BGR Energy Systems pose threat to their Indian
Operations.




POWER SECTOR ANALYSIS                                                      33 | P a g e
CONCLUSION:
       India possesses a vast opportunity to grow in the field of power generation,
transmission, and distribution. The target of over 150,000 MW of Hydel power
generation is yet to be achieved. By the year 2012, India requires an additional
100,000 MW of generation capacity.


       A huge capital investment is required to meet this target. This has welcomed
numerous power generation, transmission, and distribution companies across the
globe to establish their operations in the country under the famous PPP (public-
private partnership) programmes.


       The power sector is still experiencing a large demand-supply gap. This has
called for an effective consideration of some of strategic initiatives. There are strong
opportunities in transmission network ventures - additional 60,000 circuit kilometres
of transmission network is expected by 2012 with a total investment opportunity of
about US$ 200 billion.

  • 4. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Availability of power is one of the important ingredients for industrial growth. It is an important infrastructure facility without which no industrial activity can be thought of in modern times. Increasing automation of Indian industries has created huge demand of power in India. This huge demand has resulted into demand supply gap in India in recent times. This report gives an extensive study of Power Sector. Analysis of the power sector by PORTER’s Five Force Model and through SWOT analysis gives the direction of the sector. Environmental impact of the sector is discussed. The PORTER’s five forces analysis, SWOT analysis are used to analyze the industry of power sector. The various analyses show that there has been a continuous growth in generation and consumption of power in India. World electricity generation rose at an average annual rate of 3.7% from 1971 to 2004, greater than the 2.1% growth in total primary energy supply. Total world consumption of marketed energy is projected to increase by 50 percent from 2005 to 2030. POWER SECTOR ANALYSIS 1|P age

  • 6. The energy required to support our economies and lifestyles provides tremendous convenience and benefits. Energy consumption is reportedly higher in countries where less than 5 % of the population lives below the poverty line than it is in countries where most people live in poverty -- four times higher. For example, Americans make up less than 5 % of the world’s population yet consume 26 % of the world’s energy. World electricity generation rose at an average annual rate of 3.7% from 1971 to 2004, greater than the 2.1% growth in total primary energy supply. This increase was largely due to more electrical appliances, development of electrical heating in several developed countries and rural electrification programmes in developing countries. De-regulation in areas of the global energy markets has led to fierce competition. Now more than ever electricity has to be produced at a lower cost with many countries imposing ever tightening environmental legislation to reduce the impact power generation has on the environment. The enormous challenges are recognised in providing electricity as efficiently as possible and strive to develop technology to meet your needs. Collectively, developing countries use 30% of the world's energy, but with projected population and economic growth in those markets, energy demands are expected to rise 95 %. Overall global consumption is expected to rise 50 % from 2005 to 2030. World energy consumption is projected to expand by 50% from 2005 to 2030 in the IEO2008 reference case projection. Although high prices for oil and natural gas, which are expected to continue throughout the period, are likely to slow the growth of energy demand in the long term, world energy consumption is projected to continue increasing strongly as a result of robust economic growth and expanding populations in the world’s developing countries. Energy demand in the OECD economies is expected to grow slowly over the projection period, at an average annual rate of 0.7%, whereas energy consumption in the emerging economies of non-OECD countries is expected to expand by an average of 2.5 % per year. POWER SECTOR ANALYSIS 3|P age
  • 7. China and India—the fastest growing non-OECD economies—will be key contributors to world energy consumption in the future. Over the past decades, their energy consumption as a share of total world energy use has increased significantly. In 1980, China and India together accounted for less than 8 % of the world’s total energy consumption. In 2005 their share had grown to 18 %. Even stronger growth is projected over the next 25 years, with their combined energy use more than doubling and their share increasing to one-quarter of world energy consumption in 2030 in the IEO2008 reference case. In contrast, the U.S. share of total world energy consumption is projected to contract from 22 % in 2005 to about 17 % in 2030. Energy consumption in other non-OECD regions also is expected to grow strongly from 2005 to 2030, with increases of around 60 % projected for the Middle East, Africa, and Central and South America. A smaller increase, about 36 %, is expected for non-OECD Europe and Eurasia (including Russia and the other former Soviet Republics), as substantial gains in energy efficiency result from the replacement of inefficient Soviet-era capital stock and population growth rates decline. POWER SECTOR - Current Scenario  2.4% of the overall world energy output  6th largest energy user, comprising about 3.3% of the overall global energy expenditure per year.  The gross electricity production capability of Indian Power Sector is placed at around 111 GW. POWER SECTOR – Scope  Abundant coal reserves (enough to last at least 200 years).  Vast hydroelectric potential (150,000 MW).  Large pool of highly skilled technical personnel.  Impressive power development in absolute terms (comparable in size to those of Germany and UK).  Enabling framework for private investors.

  • 10. The process of electrification commenced in India almost with the developed world, in the 1880s, with the establishment of a small hydroelectric power station in Darjeeling. However, commercial production and distribution started in 1889, in Calcutta (now Kolkata). In the year 1947, the country had a power generating capacity of 1,362 MW. Generation and distribution of electrical power was carried out primarily by private utility companies such as Calcutta Electric. Power was available only in a few urban centers; rural areas and villages did not have electricity. After 1947, all new power generation, transmission and distribution in the rural sector and the urban centers (which was not served by private utilities) came under the purview of State and Central government agencies. State Electricity Boards (SEBs) were formed in all the states. Legal provisions to support and regulate the sector were put in place through the Indian Electricity Act, 1910. Shortly after independence, a second Act - The Electricity (Supply) Act, 1948 was formulated, paving the way for establishing Electricity Boards in the states of the Union. In 1960s and 70s, enormous impetus was given for the expansion of distribution of electricity in rural areas. It was thought by policy makers that as the private players were small and did not have required resources for the massive expansion drive, the production of power was reserved for the public sector in the Industrial Policy Resolution of 1956. Since then, almost all new investment in power generation, transmission and distribution has been made in the public sector. Most of the private players were bought out by state electricity boards. From the installed capacity of only 1,362mw in 1947, has increased to 97000 MW as on March 2000 which has since crossed 100,000 MW mark India has become sixth largest producer and consumer of electricity in the world equaling the capacities of UK and France combined. The number of consumers connected to the Indian power grid exceeds is 75 million. POWER SECTOR ANALYSIS 7|P age
  • 11. India's power system today with its extensive regional grids maturing in to an integrated national grid, has millions of kilometres of T & D lines criss-crossing diverse topography of the country. However, the achievements of India's power sector growth looks phony on the face of huge gaps in supply and demand on one side and antediluvian generation and distribution system on the verge of collapse having plagued by inefficiencies, mismanagement, political interference and corruption for decades, on the other. Indian power sector is at the cross road today. A paradigm shift is in escapable- for better or may be for worse. World’s Energy Overview  35% of world energy need is supplied by crude oil, 25% by coal & 21% by gas.  Most of the reserve is concentrated in the Middle-east region.  World Primary Energy Sector growing at 2% India’s Energy Overview  India is the 5th largest energy consumer  India has vast potential in the Exploration Sector.  54% Coal, 32% Oil, 9% Natural Gas  Indian Primary Energy Sector growing at 5% POWER SECTOR ANALYSIS 8|P age

  • 13. POWER SECTOR IMPACTS ON THE ENVIRONMENT POWER SECTOR ANALYSIS 10 | P a g e
  • 14. The need for electricity – for productive purposes and for extending home electrification – far outstrips supply in India. Electricity generation has several impacts on the environment, depending on the choice of technologies. While the evaluation of specific power plants would necessitate the assessment of site and plant-specific issues, in general, one can consider source-specific local, regional, and global impacts. LOCAL IMPACTS Large power sources can affect their surroundings through impacts such as air pollution, submergence of land and waste accumulation, excessive resource use and disruption of human activity. The impacts of coal-based thermal plants are particularly important in a study of India, as these plants currently provide the largest generating capacity in India, and about 80% of the actual generation. Electricity generation consumed 67% of India’s coal use, in 2002; further, India’s coal consumption is projected to grow 2.2% annually between 2002 and 2025 (EIA, 2005). Most of the existing thermal power plants in India use the traditional pulverized coal combustion technology. As a result, they have to contend with gaseous emissions including carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, sulphur dioxide, mercury and particulate matter. Coal-burning thermal power plants in India are responsible for about 40% of the country’s SO2 and 41% of its CO2 in 2000. Coal- plant emissions far outweigh those from other fossil-fuel plants contributing to acid rain, and air pollution and the consequent adverse effects on health. When based on locally mined coal, the associated problems of mining accidents and land degradation are serious. In some areas, the use of high ash coal results in disposal problems, although ash does have productive uses such as brick-making. However, with the alternative fossil-fuel options, oil- and gas-based plants, too, issues of waste disposal and possible drilling and pipeline accidents have to be considered. The water use by some thermal plants constitutes a more serious POWER SECTOR ANALYSIS 11 | P a g e
  • 15. problem; Indian thermal power plants reportedly use 88% of the country’s industrial water supply (DTE, 2003). Temperature increases and pollution of receiving water bodies through inadequately treated effluents have also to be dealt with. Although based on a clean and renewable source, large hydroelectric plants are not impact free. Large dams can cause submergence of human settlements and natural forests, adversely affecting or even destroying people’s livelihoods, particularly traditional lifestyles, and also terrestrial ecosystems. However, the magnitude of these impacts varies with the location and the height of the dams constructed. With nuclear power plants, radiation hazards (not only through accidents), and disposal of radioactive spent fuel must also be contended with. Thus far, no country is sure of safe and permanent waste disposal. And, while clean in terms of carbon- emissions, both ends of the nuclear fuel cycle – uranium mining and nuclear waste – have harmful environmental impacts, if not very carefully managed. However, environmental impact costs are not easily quantifiable. Pollution-induced health impacts are underestimated when economically disadvantaged people do not obtain medical treatment; similarly, disruption costs of displaced communities could be inestimable. REGIONAL IMPACTS Regional pollution issues, for example the issue of acid rain and sulphur deposition, have received attention in Northeast Asia. While the magnitude of coal-fired power plants' contribution may be disputed, particularly during winter and spring, when dominant high pressure systems sweep accumulated pollutants off the landmass toward the eastern ocean mass. GLOBAL IMPACTS The Indian power sectors contribute about 52% of the carbon emissions in the country. Due to the magnitude of its electricity generation, China’s total carbon emissions are over three times those from India and even on a per capita basis are over 2½ times. However, as emissions per capita are low by international standards (EIA, 2003), and developing countries are not required to adopt greenhouse gas POWER SECTOR ANALYSIS 12 | P a g e

  • 18. PORTER’S FIVE FORCE MODEL: The model of pure competition implies that risk-adjusted rates of return should be constant across firms and industries. However, numerous economic studies have affirmed that different industries can sustain different levels of profitability; part of this difference is explained by industry structure. Porter’s model is based on the insight that a corporate strategy should meet the opportunities and threats in the organizations external environment. Especially, competitive strategy should base on and understanding of industry structures and the way they change. Supply Many projects have been planned but due to slow regulatory environment, the supply is far lesser than demand. Currently, India needs to double its generation. Many projects have been planned but due to slow regulatory environment, the supply is far lesser than demand. Currently, India needs to double its generation capacity to meet the potential demand. Demand The long-term average demand growth rate is 6%. Barriers to Entry Barriers to entry are high, as entering this business requires heavy investment initially. The other barriers are fuel linkages, payment guarantees from State Governments, Retail distribution licensed, etc. Bargaining Power to Suppliers Not very high as Government controls tariff structure. However, this may change the future. Bargaining Power of Customers Bargaining power of retail customers is low, as power is in short supply. However, Government is a big buyer and payment by Government can be more erratic. POWER SECTOR ANALYSIS 15 | P a g e
  • 19. Competition Not high currently. The Electricity Act, 2003 will encourage investments, thereby increasing competition. SWOT ANALYSIS STRENGHTS AND OPPORTUNITIES OF POWER SECTOR:  Well established and vast transmission and distribution network.  Highly qualified engineering and technical personnel.  Regulatory framework is further facilitated with enactment of Electricity Bill, 2003.  The Electricity Bill, 2003 holds promises for the power sector and certainly for the consumer by way of competition reliability and rationalized tariff structure.  Emergence of strong and globally comparable central utilities (NTPC, POWERGRID).  India has substantial non-conventional energy resource base and technologies to meet growing power requirements by tapping this energy. WEAKNESSES AND THREATS TO POWER SECTOR:  Poor infrastructure has led to heavy T&D losses. Old and poor transmission and distribution network has led to frequent power outages and poor quality of power  Lack of proper metering and theft has led to large scale losses. Only 51% of the power generated is billed and only 41% is realized  Moreover, Government provides power to agricultural sector at subsidized rates and also free of cost in some states. All these factors have resulted in financial disorder of the State Electricity Boards (SEBs).  Restoration of SEBs financial health and improvement in their operating performance continues to be a critical issue. The Government of India has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with various states reflecting the joint commitment of centre and states to undertake reforms in a time bound manner  Poor return to utilities, which affect their profitability and capacity to make further investments POWER SECTOR ANALYSIS 16 | P a g e
  • 20.  Increasing gap between unit cost of supply & revenue, approximately Rs 1.10/ unit  Managerial and financial inefficiencies in state sector utilities have adversely affected capacity addition and systems improvement  Non-availability of quality coal may hamper thermal plants’ efficiency in power generation  Inability of SEBs to raise funds, as most of the SEBs is on the verge of bankruptcy due to poor operational performance. Adding to the problems, SEBs need huge money to measure up competition from efficient private players  The major risk of privatizing a critical sector like power is the precedence of commercial over public interest. Some of these interests that will take a back seat include development of environment friendly generation and provision of electricity for rural areas. The new Electricity Act does not provide any specific financial incentives for private players to address public issues  The SBEs which are right now holding 60% of total installed capacity, will be hit adversely by some provisions of the new electricity act such as delicensing of generation and open access for IPPs and CPPs, there by such units will take away the most lucrative customers (like industrial and commercial users) from the SEBs. This will not only affect SEB’s but also the entire power sector for near term. POWER SECTOR ANALYSIS 17 | P a g e

  • 22. Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL) was set up in 1959 by the Government of India with the objective of creating indigenous manufacturing base for power plant equipments. Today, BHEL is the 12th largest company in the world in Power Plant Equipments manufacturing and the largest in India. The company has the ability to manufacture the entire range of power plant equipment and has one of the largest capacities of power plant equipment in the world. This enables the company to bid for large power projects. BHEL's cost-competitiveness vis-a-vis international competition in the power sector can be attributed to the factors like fully depreciated manufacturing facilities, lower labour and freight costs and economies of scale. Apart from being the lowest cost producer, BHEL also possesses the infrastructure that can supply power equipment for 4,000 MW of generating capacity annually. The company operates through 14 plants and 9 service centers. The major inhibiting factor for the growth of BHEL in the past has been lack of access to large fund base. The company is a candidate for disinvestment as the Central Government has decided to offload atleast 20% of its stake towards a strategic partner. This could help the company in the long run as the strategic partnership could bring in benefits like access to new technologies and capital. The business of BHEL is focused essentially on two broad segments, viz. Power Equipment, accounting for 60% of revenue, and, Industrial Equipment, and accounting for the rest. Earlier the company was focused on the Power Equipment only. However, in order to reduce the dependence on power utility providers (SEBs), the company widened its focus area and hence product base. BHEL is now manufacturing equipments for industrial users, railways and several other industries including telecommunications, metallurgical and process industry. BHEL's forte is coal-based Thermal Power Plants. BHEL's products, services and projects are exported to over 52 countries including United States and New Zealand. BHEL's market share in the coal-based thermal power plant segment is 75%, 65% in nuclear-based thermal plants, 50% in hydro-based thermal power POWER SECTOR ANALYSIS 19 | P a g e

The company also enjoys purchase price preference. Weaknesses:  PSU status is a big weakness for BHEL as it is subject to their rules and regulations and is forced to carry a huge amount of labor force, which it is not able to retrench.  The company offers very stringent credit facilities to the customers and this is a weakness when compared in the face of rising competition. On the other hand their customers in the power segment, SEBs, have a huge amount of receivables standing against their name in the company's balance sheet. This is a major weakness for the company.  The company is vertically integrated, which could have been avoided by outsourcing its components for power generation and transmission. This could have reduced the cost. POWER SECTOR ANALYSIS 22 | P a g e
  • 26. Opportunities:  The power sector reforms are expected to pick up in the near future in India, which would directly benefit BHEL.  Increase in defence budget will increase the topline for the company.  NTPC is planning additional capacities to the tune of 2,800 MW, at a cost of Rs 52 bn. BHEL could benefit a lot as it has happened in the past that significant portion of the project of NTPC is handled by BHEL. Nearly 85% of the NTPC projects were assigned to BHEL only.  The business of modernization and renovations of power plants is expected to grow in India.  The disinvestment plans of the government would bring in new resources and experience into the company.  Joint Venture with Siemens in the name of Powerplant Performance Improvement Ltd. (PPIL), is a major strength for the company. This tie-up will be beneficial as there is a lot of scope for business. During FY00 the PPIL received orders worth Rs. 320 crore. Threats:  The global trend of consolidation has already resulted in a fall in turnover of the company and this will prove to be a major threat in the years to come as well.  The company is dependent on NTPC to a great extent.  Recently, the government has permitted the import of second hand capital goods that are 10 years old without the need for a license. This move will definitely increase competitive pressures for BHEL. POWER SECTOR ANALYSIS 23 | P a g e

  • 35. Hydroelectric power plants  Wind farms Services  Product retrofitting  Maintenance and services  Refurbishment of existing plants FIVE FORCE ANALYSIS Strengths • Strong parental support gives ALSTOM a clear edge in integrated power and hydroelectric projects. • Strong order backlog (Rs30 bn+, >2.4XFY07 revenues) imparts earnings visibility. • Strong references in India provide a definite advantage to ALSTOM for future projects. • ALSTOM is one of the few players to execute hi-end power projects in India. Weaknesses • ALSTOM has a longer execution cycle (Hydro projects >5 years, gas projects 2- 2.5 yrs & steam > 4 years) • ALSTOM’s hydro projects carry various risks including on environmental issues over which ALSTOM has no control. • ALSTOM operates in a cyclical industry where business volumes are dependent upon government plans. Opportunities • 11th & 12th Plans comprise 72%+ (coal & lignite) capacity addition in 660/800 Mw unit size. • Huge capex in generation (11th plan envisages 157% more than what was achieved in the 10th plan). Threats • Competition with the likes of BHEL remains a key threat for ALSTOM. • Problems with fuel (like gas) could lead to cancellation / delays in planned projects.

  • 36. Porter’s Five Force analysis The Intensity of Competitive Rivalry The number of players in the power sector it comes to providing fully integrated service are few but the intensity of competitive rivalry can be termed as medium as there is sufficient scope available in the industry for all the existing players. Bargaining Power of Suppliers As the requirement of equipments are growing exponentially, the supply of Power Equipments can be met by Importing or from the domestic suppliers. So the bargaining power of the Supplier is medium enough to tackle in the current scenario. Bargaining Power of Buyers In today’s world customer is the king. The power sector has to be developed at a much rapid pace to cope up with the development activities which are in progress. So that the bargaining power of the Buyer is more when compared to other sectors. The Threat of Substitute Product As renewable power generation for the world the threat of substitute product is low. Wind power projects are also the most preferred bearing in mind the large coastline, which we posses. The Threat of New Entrants As the power sector are highly capital intensive and involves large amount of commitment in terms of capital , assets and work- force the threat of new entrants is low . As only those organizations which have the required capabilities and are willing to take the risk of entering a sector which can be seen as still developing will enter the market. New entrants such as BGR Energy Systems pose threat to their Indian Operations. POWER SECTOR ANALYSIS 33 | P a g e
  • 37. CONCLUSION: India possesses a vast opportunity to grow in the field of power generation, transmission, and distribution. The target of over 150,000 MW of Hydel power generation is yet to be achieved. By the year 2012, India requires an additional 100,000 MW of generation capacity. A huge capital investment is required to meet this target. This has welcomed numerous power generation, transmission, and distribution companies across the globe to establish their operations in the country under the famous PPP (public- private partnership) programmes. The power sector is still experiencing a large demand-supply gap. This has called for an effective consideration of some of strategic initiatives. There are strong opportunities in transmission network ventures - additional 60,000 circuit kilometres of transmission network is expected by 2012 with a total investment opportunity of about US$ 200 billion.
