This document provides an overview of the Indian thermal power generation sector. It discusses the current capacity and distribution of coal, gas, and diesel-powered plants across India. It also examines the economics, logistics, financing, and reforms of the sector. Looking ahead, the document predicts that thermal generation will grow by 5.6% annually through 2015 due to increasing coal and gas-fired capacity, before accelerating later in the decade. Key challenges include high AT&C losses, subsidized power rates, and environmental impacts.

5. POWER SECTOR REFORMS
• Evolution of Indian Power Industry
• Mega Power Policy
• National Electricity Policy
• National Tariff Policy
• Electricity Act 2003

6. ECONOMICS OF THERMAL POWER
GENRATION SECTOR
• Introduction to Economics of Power
Generation
• Selection of Type of Generation
• Tariff

7. LOGISITC MANAGEMENT
• COAL
- The Primary Energy Resource Endowment
- Skewed Regional Distribution of Coal
Reserves
- Creating an Integrated Rail System For
Planning Optimum Outcome

8. • Gas
Trans National Pipelines

9. Current Trends in Thermal Power
Generation Sector
• Economics and Energy Indicators
• Energy Consumption
• Regional and Sect oral Variations
• Resources Availability
• Resources for Thermal Power Generation

10. TYPES AND SOURCES OF FINANCE
• Debt
• Equity
• Key Power Sector Financing

11. FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
• Ratio Analysis
• ROCE
• RONW
• EPS AND DPS

13. SWOT ANALYSIS
Strength
• Highly qualified engineering and technical personnel
• Regulatory framework is further facilitated with
enactment of Electricity Bill 2003.
• Emergence of strong and globally comparable central
utilities (power grid NTPC)
Opportunity
• Coal based plants at pithead or coastal locations
(imported coal)
• Natural Gas/CNG based turbines at load centres or
near gas terminals

14. Weakness
-More ever, government provides power to agriculture sector at
subsidized rates. This factors have resulted in financial disorder of state
electricity board (SEBs)
-Poor return to utilities, which affect their profitability and capacity to
make further investment
-Lack of optimum utilization of the existing generation capacity
Threats
-Waste generation leading to environmental damage
-High AT & C losses (Aggregate technical and commercial losses) AT&C
loss (defined as the difference between the input energy and the units of
energy from which the payment is actually realized) has come down
further in 2006/07, to 32.07%. Compared to the last two years, this marks
an improvement in efficiency, of over 2%

15. FUTURSTIC SCENARIO OF THE
INDUSTRY
-Thermal generation, comprising coal, gas and oil, is expected
to grow by 5.6% per annum during the period to 2015, but
growth looks set to accelerate later in the decade.
-Expect gas-fired power generation to climb 16.7% per
annum between 2011 and 2015, with an average annual
growth rate of 16.1% forecast to 2020.
