The goal of the demonetization move in India is to make the economy stronger and eliminate the parallel cash economy which is unaccounted and untaxed. While this can impact the GDP negatively in the short term, it should have positive long term consequences. For e-commerce companies, which already have a digital payments system in place, it should lead to higher online payment and eventually eliminate the painful cash on delivery option. However, in the short term, witness a decline in GMV from India as the economy adjusts to the “new normal”.
Msme funding – Opportunities & Challenges (Part 5)Resurgent India
In India, the preferred mode of finance is either self or other sources. This further complicates the situation, as with these sources an enterprise cannot challenge the increasing competition
Funding Sme – MSME FINANCE – DEMAND & SUPPLY - Part - 9Resurgent India
The present domestic market conditions do not provide enough opportunities for the MSME sector for raising low cost funds. To improve the flow of credit there is a need to provide low cost finance to the MSME sector, which has limited working capital and is dependent exclusively on finance from public sector banks. The cost of credit in the Indian MSME sector is higher than its international peers. A transparent credit rating system, simplification/reduction in documentation for accessing finance, providing interest rate subvention to the MSME sector must be taken into consideration in order to maintain the growth of the MSME sector.
Funding Sme – The Challenges And Risk Within - Mezzanine Financing - Part - 8Resurgent India
Business owners need finance in order to invest but they want to retain control of their business and not give up valuable equity. For MSMEs the financing options are limited and private equity investors are usually interested in larger companies, while business angel investors are more active in start-ups. Furthermore, conventional bank lending is often not available for projects that could be classified as speculative. That’s where mezzanine finance comes in. Mezzanine finance is a fairly well-known type of funding, which sits between traditional bank debt and equity and it is exactly what many MSMEs need.
Funding Sme – The Challenges And Risk Within - Alternative financing sources ...Resurgent India
Securitization of Trade Credit: Trade credit is an important source of financing for MSMEs, as they sell on credit to their large customers and then wait for long periods for payment. If these receivables (trade credit) could be packaged as a securitized asset, which would essentially be a commercial paper with the credit rating of the large firm, it could help MSMEs reduce their investment in working capital and their need for finance significantly. The credit worthiness of a typical MSME would also improve, qualifying it for greater bank funding. Though the securitization process which is similar to factoring, could be more cost-effective than bank funding, factoring, and letters of credit.

Finance is the lifeline of any enterprise. India has one of most extensive banking networks in the world. Despite, a considerable expansion of the banking infrastructure during the recent years, the provision of finance to grassroot level businesses, scattered across the nation, still remains an enormous challenge. Going ahead, it is also observed that Indian MSMEs have limited access to finance. Majority of the MSMEs operates on the funds of its promoters, thus limiting its growth. The limited or nonavailability of institutional finance at affordable terms is also hindering innovation in the Indian MSMEs.
Funding Sme – The Challenges And Risk Within - MSMEs CONTRIBUTION TO ECONOMY ...Resurgent India
Economy, with more than 31 million units employing more than 80 million persons. Further, productivity of the MSME sector has been improving significantly with fixed investments and employment growing consistently over the past few years. This is a direct indication of the efforts focused on this sector to integrate the workforce with technological enhancements to increase production. Fixed investments in the MSME sector between FY07 and FY12 has grown at a CAGR of 6.5 per cent and employment has grown by more than 6 per cent (y-o-y). Further, between FY07 and FY12, the sector’s total gross output grew at a CAGR of 6.3 per cent - reiterating the substantial contribution of the MSMEs to the Indian economy.
MSME Financing - Alternative Financing Instruments - Part - 14Resurgent India
Asset-based finance, which includes asset-based lending, factoring, purchase-order finance, warehouse receipts and leasing, differs from traditional debt finance, as a firm obtains funding based on the value of specific assets, rather than on its own credit standing. Working capital and term loans are thus secured by assets such as trade accounts receivable, inventory, machinery, equipment and real estate.

Affordable 24x7 Power To All @2019 - Key Strategies for Achieving Programme Objectives(Increase Generation Capacity) - Part 2
1. Key Strategies for Achieving
Programme Objectives
(Increase Generation Capacity)
Part 2
Affordable 24x7 Power To All @2019- Fuel
Security & Distribution Reforms -
3. Increase Generation Capacity
In order to meet the programme objectives, additional generation capacity
has to be developed based on the projected annual energy demand and peak
load requirement. Essentially, the plan should focus on the measures listed
below -
4. Increase Generation Capacity
The broad objectives laid down by the Forum of Regulators for the
programme are -
1. Achieve reliable 24x7 power supply to domestic, industrial and commercial
consumers by 2018-19
2. Ensure power supply for irrigation pumps for 8 to 10 hours a day depending
upon the agro climatic factors in different States
3. Provide access to all unconnected households by 2018–19
5. Increase Generation Capacity
Establish robust coal linkages to thermal power plants –
Adequate supply of coal for thermal power plants and securing operational
capabilities at a higher PLF than what has been achieved in the past are the
key imperatives for achieving the overall programme objectives.
Creation of additional capacities in coal-based power plants can be achieved,
only if proper coal linkages are established for such projects.
6. Increase Generation Capacity
The projected domestic coal requirement will be over 800 Mn tonnes by 2016-17
against the projected availability of only 560 Mn tonnes for the power sector.
Therefore suitable amendments to the Coal Mining Nationalization Act will be
required to enable auction of coal blocks to interested mining companies
Additionally, the government can also consider augmenting supply of coal
through imports. With the international coal prices witnessing a drop, contracts
for long term and medium basis can be secured to bridge the gap.
7. Increase Generation Capacity
The successful coal auction for re-allocation of 33 of the 204 coal blocks de-
allocated by Supreme Court following the coal scam during UPA government,
has helped kick-starting at least 20,000 Mw of completed thermal power
projects stuck for want of coal linkage.
However, in the future auctions as well, due priority should be accorded to
thermal plants which are already commissioned or ready to be commissioned
in the near future.
8. Increase Generation Capacity
Constitute a SPV for expediting clearances before auction to mining
companies –
The allocation of coal blocks which have not been auctioned yet should be
guided by a special purpose vehicle for expediting the process of getting
environmental and other clearances before auctioning them to the end
users / developers.
9. Increase Generation Capacity
Build adequate coal supply logistics –
Besides augmenting the supply of coal through mining, efforts need to be
directed to strengthen the capabilities of the Indian railways to transport coal
to thermal plants located in far flung areas.
The option of laying down new railway tracks closer to the thermal plants can
be considered. In addition to this, the use of washed coal should be
incentivized for thermal plants located more than 500 kms from the coal mines
to reduce the problem of logistics and ensure supply of fuel for the generating
units
10. Increase Generation Capacity
Adequate supply of fuel for gas-based thermal units –
Ensuring adequate supply of fuel for the gas- based thermal units is vital to the
strategy for providing 24x7 power supply. It is estimated, that the peak demand
for power can be met with the operation of all existing gas-based generating
units with at least 60% PLF
11. Increase Generation Capacity
At present, the installed gas based capacity of about 22,000 MW in India
requires about 70 mscmd to operate at a PLF of 70%. However with only
about 25 mscmd gas being available, these units operate at significantly lower
levels, that is, at 25-30% PLF.
Therefore, there is an immediate need to address the issue of the availability
of gas at affordable prices so as to supplement the power capacity from gas
bases units
12. Increase Generation Capacity
Accelerate Renewable based power generation– Considering the fact that the
renewables have a short gestation period, there should be emphasis on
renewable capacity addition particularly in solar and wind energy. Discoms
should be mandated to make payments to RE generators on priority,
preferably by opening LCs.
13. Increase Generation Capacity
In order to integrate renewable energy successfully into the grid, the
following measures need to be undertaken on priority:
a. Establish ‘Renewable Energy Management System’ in select states such as
Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, Gujarat, Rajasthan and
Madhya Pradesh. This management system will monitor the renewable
energy generation on real time basis and perform forecasting and scheduling
of renewable power in 15 minutes blocks. REMS will provide a consolidated
view of renewable power generation value every 15 minutes to the state load
dispatch center for each hour, on a 24 hour rolling basis. This will enable the
proper scheduling of the rest of the generation in the state.
14. Increase Generation Capacity
b. Develop ancillary services such as frequency balancing mechanisms and
hour-ahead markets to secure a higher penetration of renewable energy
generation.
c. One of the issues for renewable-energy rich states is the deviation
settlement mechanism. There is a need to review the present scheduling and
balancing mechanism enabling higher penetration of renewable energy
sources. For example, for wind variation in Tamil Nadu and Karnataka, hydro
resources in Karnataka, Kerala and Andhra Pradesh can be used for balancing
services.
15. Increase Generation Capacity
d. In order to mitigate network congestion during variation in renewable
energy power generation, it is advised to strengthen the inter-regional and
inter-state network to accommodate higher renewable power in renewable
rich states.
e. Access to credit is a critical factor impacting building of renewable
capacities. Government needs to explore alternative financing options for this
sector besides extending credit through IREDA, its nodal agency. Also, the
loan tenure for renewable generating projects can be extended to 20 years as
against the prevailing 12 year repayment schedule with a moratorium of two
years.
16. Increase Generation Capacity
f. Lack of adequate payment security to renewable energy developers has
hindered the growth of renewable energy in some states. It becomes difficult
for generating companies to service their debt when there is a delay in
payments from discoms. In order to resolve this, the Electricity Act, 2003,
should be amended to ensure that all distribution companies provide
adequate payment security to RE generators in the form of Letters of Credit
or Escrow payments.
17. Increase Generation Capacity
Over the years, government has taken several steps to promote the use of
renewable energy. Some of the recent initiatives by the government to
encourage use of renewable energy include introduction of RPOs and RECs.
Under the RPO mechanism, discoms are mandated to purchase minimum
ratio of their total power from renewable sources.
There are however substantial problems with the compliance as majority of
discoms record poor adoption and continue to remain below the RPO
trajectory.
18. Increase Generation Capacity
Further, recently, the government is contemplating steps to make it
mandatory for conventional power project developers to set up renewable
energy plants in future in order to promote clean energy.
The idea of this concept is to make renewable generation obligation (RGO)
compulsory for developers of conventional thermal power plants so as to
commission renewable energy projects in future.
19. Increase Generation Capacity
This would be implemented by gradually replacing all old plants with new
generation units operating on new technology to improve fuel efficiencies.
Under this mechanism, the developers will be able to bundle tariff of both
conventional and renewable power to the utilities, and therefore the discoms
will not have to comply with RPO targets separately.
20. Increase Generation Capacity
Accelerate adoption of energy efficient electrical appliances –
Accelerate adoption of energy efficient electrical appliances so as to reduce
overall energy requirement and peak demand. Further, it is important to
replace existing irrigation pumps with more efficient devices. At present,
nearly 20% of electricity is being used in the agriculture sector for pumping
water. By replacing the inefficient irrigation pumps with star rated efficient
pumps, the country can save about 25–30% of electricity per annum.
