This document provides an executive summary, background on NTPC Ltd and the Indian power sector, objectives of the project report, methodology used, and results.
The objectives were to provide an optimal financial model for NTPC's capital budget and structure to meet 12th Five Year Plan targets, and analyze power policies in India and China to enhance India's capacity.
The methodology included primary and secondary data collection, exploratory and mathematical analysis using tools like capital budgeting and Excel, and recommending policies.
The results showed that India needs improvements in various areas like capacity addition, operations, funding, costs, regulations and distribution to meet targets sustainably while transitioning to alternative energy sources.
This document provides an introduction to the concept of technological re-engineering as a strategy for technological development in Sri Lanka. It discusses how third world countries like Sri Lanka fell behind in technological progress due to missing earlier industrial revolutions. However, with digital technologies, countries like China and India used strategies like reverse engineering and re-engineering to develop new, locally relevant technologies at lower costs. The document argues that re-engineering, which involves improving existing products through innovation, provides opportunities for Sri Lanka to engage in technological development without large R&D investments. The following congress will feature examples of student-developed technologically re-engineered products for Sri Lanka.

Background
Energy and Infrastructure sector is one of the key sector for economic growth of any region. One of the
key determinants of economic, social and developmental sustainability is the evolution of energy sector
and related infrastructure (both physical and social infrastructure). At the same time, both sectors have

In the first Plenary Session, Prof. LathaRamchand suggested that investment in infrastructure should be
encouraged. Prof. Anurag Agarwal spoke about the issues faced by infrastructure sector in India and the
role of policy in avoiding unnecessary arbitrations and focus on consuming less energy fruitfully and
asserted that the biggest challenge for us lies in policy change. Dr. T. Harinarayan focused on increasing
the use of renewable energy resources vis-à-vis reduction in use of non-renewable energy resources and
highlighted the innovative steps taken in research in this direction by GERMI. Dr. BiswajitChakraborty
emphasized on implementation of the solutions in overcoming the challenges faced by infrastructure
sector in such a manner so as to achieve operational excellence and asserted that resource mobilization
and knowledge specification should be enhanced and collaborations among educational institutes

to increasing energy generation and spoke about the Govt instituting policies which were practical and
delivered the desired result. He lamented on disparities in energy usage in rural India. Prof. Coburn
indicated the need for holistic thinking. He concluded by candidly stating that policies fail because of
unforeseen issues, regulations are imposed in order to prevent industries from miscalculating and that it
is the need of the hour that industries align their operations as per regulatory frameworks.
Shri. B.S. Negi:
o The key issues for Energy & Infrastructure lie in ‘Availability, Accessibility and Affordability’
o We should use an interactive approach to identify challenges and then study these challenges to
modify the curriculum of academic institutions accordingly
o General Public needs to be educated regarding energy issues and the importance of energy
efficiency
Prof. LathaRamchand:
o Governments should facilitate and encourage investments in infrastructure and make necessary
policy changes
Prof. Arun K. Agarwal:
o There is a core need and demand of technical as well as managerial knowledge from educational
institutes. This can be achieved by establishing Research Centers and Centers of Excellences
where academia and industrialists can come together to research on the demands of the ever
expanding market
o Large amount of money is at stake in the energy infrastructure sector and educational institutes
should prepare students to be ready for uncertain environments in Energy and Infrastructure
Dr. T. Harinarayana:
o Renewable energy sector has a huge potential. A lot of research is being carried out in the sector
but there is urgent need to focus more efforts on the same
o Current time demands industry to generate more energy using less or no fuel and using less area
or space

that can be utilized. Gujarat has already installed more than 825 MW capacity of Solar Projects
state wide and is still expanding
o Vertical axis wind mills are about to be launched. If available for an affordable price, the society
can expect “Wind Roof Top Programs” in near future
Shri. BiswajitChakraborty:
o There are three major challenges in energy infrastructure viz. managing demand & supply,
managing stakeholders and efficient use of energy
o There is a need to modify courses being currently thought in educational institutions to make
the generation which is about to enter the industry ready to face these challenges
o Industry should involve educational institutes in process of implementation of projects, so that
the academia gets a foresight on upcoming issues of the market
Prof. Timothy C. Coburn:

o India has 5th largest wind resource, but disproportionately concentrated in a few states (e.g.,
Tamil Nadu)
o India is also the 7th largest hydro resource, mostly concentrated in the north
o In India, there is a need of more holistic approach to deal with the issue of energy availability
Shri. Vasant Agarwal:
o There is a need to save and conserve energy. The policy of US to increase efficiency of cars is a
perfect example for the same. Policies on similar lines can be formulated here as well
o There needs to be a debate on cost vs. availability of an object as demand and supply
decide the cost

resource in future. He also mentioned the necessity to develop facilities which align with
market.
Shri.Kishor Nair:
o Energy plays a major role in growth of an economy as every industry needs energy
o 3,500 sq. kms. of area in Rajasthan can produce ~750-2,100 GW of Solar Power
o As per Berkley Lab study, wind potential in India is 2,006 GW (80 meter hub height)
to 3,121 GW (120 meter hub height) against earlier potential estimate of 102 GW
Shri. Arun Kumar:
o India’s Energy mix is currently dominated by coal
o Shale Gas is currently in a full boom in US, where In just 4 years (2006 to 2010)
annual shale gas production has jumped from less than 1 TCF to nearly 5 TCF
o There are primarily eight prominent Shale Gas Basins in India namely : Cambay, Cauvery
(Onshore), KG (Onshore),Damodar-Valley,AssamArakan,Satpura,Ganga, Vindhyan (Son-
Valley)
Shri.Arpit Christy:

o Challenges in generation of Bio-Fuel like awareness amongst people, Acceptability of Bio-
Fuel as second generation fuel, Government Policy and its strict implementation
17. 17
o Creating a role model in sustainability in line with our historic traditions with the help of
Local production & consumption, thereby reducing environmental leakages, traffic & road
movement
o Decentralized Biomass Collection Model at Abbelon Energy is an innovative plan of
collection of biomass from the farmers and supplying energy to end user in an efficient
manner
Shri. Shaleen Sharma:
o LNG is the fuel of the future. It will definitely be needed to meet the energy needs of the
future
o Pricing of LNG: There will always be a global pricing difference in LNG

Way Forward:
• Increase the use of renewable energy resources vis-à-vis reduction in use of non-renewable
energy resources
• Vertical Axis Wind Mills if available at affordable price can lead to the launch of “Wind Roof Top
Programs”
• Shale gas can help meet India’s ever increasing energy needs. So, industry needs to develop its
infrastructure accordingly
• Certain regulatory changes are required from the government side to promote LNG Terminals in
the country
• Strategic partnerships are needed in PPP mode for development LNG infra in the country
• Educational institutes need to modify their courses according to the needs of the industry in
terms of energy infrastructure
• The government can take help of the latest “54.5 MPG Fuel Efficiency Standards” of USA to
formulate its own policy for energy efficiency to reduce India’s dependence on foreign fuel
• There is a need to establish Research Centers and Centers of Excellences where academia and
industrialists can come together to research on the demands of the ever expanding market
