MBA (Power Management)
2. Introduction
The Indian Power sector has been at the forefront of the Indian growth story. With
huge captive coal reserves, significant potential for generation of power from
renewable energy sources, and a highly investor friendly Government policy for
setting up greenfield power projects, the Indian Power sector is rife with untapped
opportunities.
Currently, India is the sixth largest power consumer in the world. With plans to add
78.7 GW of power generation capacity till March 2012, India will also be among the
largest electricity generating countries. India’s electricity consumption is expected
to grow at 8-10% per annum to keep pace with its accelerating economic growth.
The sector is expected to offer investment opportunities in excess of around US $
500 billion over the next decade.
3. Introduction (Contd.)
Initiatives such as the Electricity Act 2003, Accelerated Power
Development Reform Program (APDRP) and Ultra Mega Power
Projects (UMPPs), with annual capacity of 4 GW each by the Ministry
of Power augur well in terms of opportunities for professionals focused
on this sector. The Indian power sector is at a critical point in its
development and its progress is imperative to sustain India’s economic
growth.
There is also significant potential in India for generation of power from
renewable energy sources, such as Wind, Small Hydro, Biomass and
Solar Energy. India is ranked No. 2 in bio-gas with installation of over
40 lakh Biogas plants and No. 4 in Wind Energy Development globally
by achieving 7,300 MW power connecting to grids.
4. Government Initiative
The Ministry has set a target of 12,000 MW fresh
capacity addition in the next five years, including
7,000 MW from the wind energy segment, 2,500 MW
from Hydel sources and the rest from co-generation.
Overall, the Government is targeting up to 80,000 MW
of power generation capacity through renewable
sources by 2032.
NTPC has lined up plans to invest Rs. 6,000 crore in
creating 1,000 MW of renewable energy capacity over the
next 10 years. NTPC also plans to add 30-50 MW from
geothermal power projects and 35 MW from small
biomass and solar sources.
