    Management Discussions and Analysis

    This year has been a crucial period for the countrys revival of interest towards thepower sector. A number of initiatives were taken by the Government to encourageinvestments in the sector and sensitize the various stakeholders about the importanceof energy and need to conserve the valuable energy resources. Various regulatoryand policy matters have been under active discussions at different platforms forpreparing a clearer road map for evolution of the power market.

    The regulatory landscape has seen positive development with the approval beinggiven to the first National level Power Exchange, Indian Energy Exchange (IEX).Issues like open access for the collective transactions on the power exchange havebeen dealt by the policy makers. Being the frontrunner in the development of thepower market, your Company has rightly been associated with and copromotedthe Indian Energy Exchange, along with FTIL and MCX.

    However, the mist regarding fixation of the short term trading margin at 4 paise perKWh continued and there was no change in the status quo. This regulation, whichis a subjudice matter, has a strong bearing on your Companys profitability and itsability to introduce new products and services in the market since risks and returnsgo together.

    On the performance front, your Company has been constantly adding value to thesector by the short term trading of power. As a consequence, now power has beenviewed as an asset and a source of earning revenue. Till now the domestic longterm business has not been significantly contributing to the operational performance.However, the long term portfolio is in the maturity phase and the year ahead wouldsee significant benefits to the sector in terms of addition to the generating capacityand to your Company in terms of greater trading volumes.

    In terms of cross border trade, currently your Company is trading surplus powerfrom the three hydro projects in Bhutan. 1020 MW Tala project, becoming fullyoperational, generated power throughout the year and contributed significantly tothe crossborder trade volumes. To add to that, PTC is also looking for exchangeof power with Nepal and active efforts are on to strengthen and build transmissionlines between the two countries for operationalizing trading of power based oncommercial principles.

    PTC organized a high level Power Summit for the 2nd time, in succession inKathmandu during September 2007 in association with Nepal Bankers Associationand Independent Power Producers Association of Nepal to take forward thecooperation between the two countries on development of Nepals hydropowerpotential. The 2nd Power Summit was a resounding success just as the first oneand it kickstarted serious dialogues between Indian and Nepalese Governmentagencies, investors and private entrepreneurs towards accelerated development of

    Nepals hydro resources. The summit aimed to give special focus on inviting theinvestment participation from private players and to explore the accessibility tothe power market in India through Power Exchange. Over 200 participants,including the leading names in the power sector as well as Financial Institutionssuch as SN Power, Butwal Power Company, ICF International, IDFC,POWERGRID, JSPL, IFC Dhaka, L&T, IL&FS, NHPC, ATHENA, ICTC,Standard Chartered Bank, Nabil Bank, Bank of Kathmandu, Everest Bank,Himalayan Bank etc. participated in the Summit. This has led to deeperengagement between the key stakeholders of the two countries and one can see aspurt in the active discussions on development and also award of some hydroprojects in Nepal to both public and private project developers from India andother countries.

    Today, various power utilities are working round the clock on ways and means tomaximize the cost and reliability benefits that they can derive from existing powerfacilities by gainfully using trading opportunities given by your Company. Buildingsustainable relationships with such partners would not have been possible withouta foundation of good governance practices. And this is perhaps the keystone of theoverarching superstructure of PTC; the Company has established the higheststandards of corporate governance in its business operations and stronglycommunicated its most important core value transparency.

    PTC has always given due importance to governance and accountability and hascontinually revised its standards of transparency within the organisation. It hasalso constantly emphasised that risk management and control framework providesan integrated approach to identify, assess/quantify, mitigate, monitor and reportbusiness risks across an organisation and improves the ability to make the rightdecisions at the right time. Also, Clause 49 of the Listing Agreement by Securitiesand Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has emphasized the laying down of proceduresto control risks through means of a properly defined framework.

    Trading, as such, is a highly volatile business and is inherently influenced by variousrisks that occur and have an adverse effect on the profitability of the business. Witha view of this, PTC in association with PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) has proactivelydeveloped a Risk Management Framework for the Company by identifying significantrisks faced by the Company and devising ways to manage these risks. The Companyis now in the process of operationalising the framework to form it as a part of itsday to day operations.

    Following the mandated nature of competitive bidding for new generation capacityprocurement by distribution utilities, your Company has been actively participatingin bids floated by state utilities such as Gujarat, Haryana, Karnataka, Maharashtraamong others. Your Company is confident that it will be able to successfully competein such competitive biddings since it has tied up long term capacities at competitivetariffs with project developers on long term basis..

    PTC India Financial Services Ltd. (PFS), the initiative for funding energy and relatedinfrastructure, has stepped in the energy infrastructure space and has made certainproprietary investments including 26% stake in the Indian Energy Exchange (IEX).Over the coming years, PFS would be a very significant building block for realizinga part of our vision of acting as a bridge between power and financial services.

    Alongside, Athena Energy Ventures Private Ltd., the developmental venturepromoted by your Company with an equity stake of 20% effectively bagged projectsadding to more than 6000 MW in the first year of its operation

    The Business Development Group has been performing steadily with the orderbook size for advisory crossing Rs. 35 Million. Your Companys initiative of settingup a wind power project in Maharashtra has been successful and the project gotcommissioned in March 2008. Realizing the need to promote renewable sources ofenergy and to educate people about the growing scarcity of fossil fuels, global warmingetc., your Company is looking for trading in renewables and aggregating CertifiedEmission Reductions (CERs) from the projects where it has participated.

    PTC has partnered with USEA in organizing workshops on Grid connected RenewableEnergy and Distributed Generation, which are funded by Asia Pacific Partnership forClean Development and Climate of US Department of State. The purpose of theworkshops is to promote policy and regulatory changes and encourage incentive to

    PTC 1.p65 7/5/2008, 12:34 PM10

  • 11

    accelerate the development and interconnection of renewable energy and distributedgeneration projects into the Indian Power System. The workshops are scheduled tobe organized in the State of West Bengal, Punjab and Gujarat.

    After receiving very encouraging and positive feedback from the key stakeholders ofIndian Power Sector on the first phase of IndoNorwegian Institutional CooperationProgram (INPIC) supported by the Ministry of Power, Government of India, PTCextended the scope of engagement with Sweco Groner AS, Norway on the projectNordic Power Market Experiences and Their Relevance for the Evolving Power Marketin India. In the 2nd phase of the program the key Norwegian organizations such asSweco Groner AS, Statnett, NVE, Nord Pool, Elkem are sharing their best practiceswith Indian counterparts on various critical issues such as development of powermarket, transmission tariff, simulation of Indian market, regulatory matters amongothers. The collaboration program was unique in that for the first time certificationcourse for the electricity traders was organized in association with Nord Pool towardscapacity building among the Indian stakeholders. Keeping in view that Indias firstpower exchange, Indian Energy Exchange Ltd. (IEX) is going to be operationalsoon this was considered to be a timely developmental effort from your companytowards the growth of the power market. The long term goal of this cooperativeeffort is to actively take part in making operational a successful power market modelin India.
