INTRODUCTION TO INDIAN POWER SECTOR
The process of electrification commenced in India almost with the developed world, in the
1880s, with the establishment of a small hydroelectric power station in Darjeeling. However,
commercial production and distribution started in 1889, in Calcutta (now Kolkata). In the
year 1947, the country had a power generating capacity of 1,362 MW. Generation and
distribution of electrical power was carried out primarily by private utility companies such as
Calcutta Electric. Power was available only in a few urban centers; rural areas and villages
did not have electricity. After 1947, all new power generation, transmission and distribution
in the rural sector and the urban centers (which was not served by private utilities) came
under the purview of State and Central government agencies. State Electricity Boards (SEBs)
were formed in all the states.
Legal provisions to support and regulate the sector were put in place through the Indian
Electricity Act, 1910. Shortly after independence, a second Act -The Electricity (Supply) Act,
1948 was formulated, paving the way for establishing Electricity Boards in the states of the
Union.
In 1960s and 70s, enormous impetus was given for the expansion of distribution of electricity
in rural areas. It was thought by policy makers that as the private players were small and did
not have required resources for the massive expansion drive, the production of power was
reserved for the public sector in the Industrial Policy Resolution of 1956. Since then, almostall new investment in power generation, transmission and distribution has been made in the
public sector. Most of the private players were bought out by state electricity boards.
From the installed capacity of only 1,362mw in 1947, has increased to 97000 MW as on
March 2000 which has since crossed 100,000 MW mark India has become sixth largest
producer and consumer of electricity in the world equaling the capacities of UK and France
combined. The number of consumers connected to the Indian power grid exceeds is 75
million.
India's power system today with its extensive regional grids maturing in to an integrated
national grid, has millions of kilometers ofT & D lines criss-crossing diverse topography of
the country.
However, the achievements of India's power sector growth looks phony on the face of huge
gaps in supply and demand on one side and antediluvian generation and distribution system

on the verge of collapse having plagued by inefficiencies, mismanagement, political
interference and corruption for decades, on the other. Indian power sector is at the cross road
today. A paradigm shift is in escapable- for better or may be for worse.
EMERGENCE OF REGIONAL POWER SYSTEMS
In order to optimally utilise the dispersed sources for power generation it was decided right at the
beginning of the 1960s that the country would be divided into 5 regions and the planning process
would aim at achieving regional self sufficiency. The planning was so far based on a region as a
unit for planning and accordingly the power systems have been developed and operated on
regional basis. Today, strong integrated grids exist in all the five regions of the country and the
energy resources developed are widely utilised within the regional grids. Presently, the Eastern &
North-Eastern Regions are operating in parallel. With the proposed inter-regional links being
developed it is envisaged that it would be possible for power to flow anywhere in the country
with the concept of National Grid becoming a reality during 12th Plan Period.
GENERATION
India has installed power generation capacity of 1,41,079.84 MW as on January 31, 2008, which
is about 100 times the installed capacity of 1362 MW in the year 1947. Power generation has
showcased a robust growth rate which is steadily improving year after year.
There has been significant improvement in the growth in actual generation over the last few
years. As compared to annual growth rate of about 3.1% at the end of 9th Plan and initial years of
10th Plan, the growth in generation during 2006-07 and 2007-08 was of the order of 7.3% and
6.33% respectively.
The average shortage of electricity in India every year is approximately between 7-8%.

STRATEGIES
The various strategies followed to achieve the goal in power sector are,
Power Generation Strategy with focus on low cost generation, optimization of capacity
utilization, controlling the input cost, optimization of fuel mix,T
echnology up gradation andutilization of Nonconventional energy sources.
Transmission Strategy with focus on development of National Grid including Interstate
connections, Technology up gradation & optimization of transmission cost.
Distribution strategy to achieve Distribution Reforms with focus on System up gradation, loss
reduction, theft control, consumer service orientation, quality power supply commercialization,
Decentralized distributed generation and supply for rural areas.
Regulation Strategy aimed at protecting Consumer interests and making the sector commercially
viable.
Financing Strategy is to generate resources for required growth of the power sector.
Conservation Strategy to optimize the utilization of electricity with focus on Demand Side
management, Load management and Technology up gradation to provide energy efficient
equipment gadgets.
Communication Strategy for political consensus with media support to enhance the general
public awareness.
To achieve the above objectives National Electric Policy has been designed. To fulfill the
objectives of the NEP, a capacity addition of 78,577 MW has been proposed for the 11th
plan. This
capacity addition is expected to provide a growth of 9.5 % to the power sector.
The Tenth Plan for fiscal years 2002 to 2007 targeted a capacity addition of 41,110 MW, which
was subsequently revised to 30,641 MW; however at the end of the Tenth Plan period, only
21,180 MW of capacity was added. This shows that India is not upto the mark in achieving the
targets of generation. Our planning is perfect but our path to achieve the target is not perfect.

TRANSMISSION
Transmission of electricity is defined as bulk transfer of power over a long distance at high
voltage, generally of 132 kV. In India bulk transmission has increased from 3708 ckm in 1950 to
more than 256,000 ckm today.
The Government of India has an ambitious mission ofPOWER FOR ALL BY 2012. This
mission would require that our installed generation capacity should be at least 2, 00,000 MW by
2012 from the present level of 1, 14,000 MW. To be able to reach this power to the entire country
an expansion of the regional transmission network and inter regional capacity to transmit power
would be essential. The latter is required because resources are unevenly distributed in the
country and power needs to be carried great distances to areas where load centres exist.
Ability of the power system to safely withstand a contingency without generation rescheduling or
load-shedding was the main criteria for planning the transmission system. However, due tovarious reasons such as spatial development of load in the network, non-commissioning of load
centre generating units originally planned and deficit in reactive compensation, certain pockets in
the power system could not safely operate even under normal conditions. This had necessitated
backing down of generation and operating at a lower load generation balance in the past.
Transmission planning has therefore moved away from the earlier generation evacuation system
planning to integrate system planning.
While the predominant technology for electricity transmission and distribution has been
Alternating Current (AC) technology, High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) technology has also
been used for interconnection of all regional grids across the country and for bulk transmission of
power over long distances.
Certain provisions in the Electricity Act 2003 such as open access to the transmission and
distribution network, recognition of power trading as a distinct activity, the liberal definition of a
captive generating plant and provision for supply in rural areas are expected to introduce and
encourage competition in the electricity sector. It is expected that all the above measures on the
generation, transmission and distribution front would result in formation of a robust electricity
grid in the country.

FUTURE PLANS FOR POWER FOR ALL BY 2012
The countrys transmission perspective plan for eleventh plan focuses on the strengthening of
National Power Grid through addition of over 60,000 ckm ofTransmission Network by
2012. Such an integrated grid shall carry 60% of the power generated in the country. The
existing inter-regional power transfer capacity is 17,000 MW, which is to be further enhanced
to 37,000 MW by 2012 through creation of Transmission Super Highways. Based on the
expected generation capacity addition in XI plan, an investment of about 75,000 Crore is
envisaged in Central Sector and Rs. 65,000 Crore is envisaged in the State Sector.
POWERGRID is working towards achieving its mission of Establishment and Operation of
Regional and National Power Grids to facilitate transfer of power within and across the
regions with reliability, security and economy, on sound commercial principles".
The exploitable energy resources in our country are unevenly distributed, like Coal resources
are abundant in Bihar/Jharkhand, Orissa, West Bengal and Hydro Resources are mainly
concentrated in Northern and North-Eastern Regions. As a result, some regions do not have
adequate natural resources for setting power plants to meet their future requirements whereas
others have abundant natural resources. Demand for power continues to grow unabated. This
calls for optimal utilization of generating resources for sustainable development. Thus,
formation of National Power Grid is an effective tool to achieve this as various countries
have adopted the model of interconnecting power grid not only at national level but also at
international level.
Further, acquiring Right of Way (ROW) for constructing transmission lines is getting
increasingly difficult, especially in eco-sensitive areas like North-Eastern Region, Chicken
neck area, hilly areas in Jammu & Kashmir and Himachal Pradesh. At the same time, these
areas are also endowed with major hydro potential of the country. This necessitates creation
of Transmission Super Highways, so that in future, constraints in ROW do not cause
bottleneck in harnessing generating resources. Inter-connection of these highways from
different part of the country would ultimately lead to formation of a high capacity National
Power Grid.
Thus, developments in power sector emphasize the need for accelerated implementation of
National Power Grid on priority to enable scheduled/unscheduled exchange of power as well
as for providing open access to encourage competition in power market. Formation of such a
National Power Grid has been envisaged in a phased manner.

Initially, considering wide variations in electrical parameters in the regional grids, primarily
HVDC interconnections were established between the regions. This was completed in the
year 2002, thereby achieving inter-regional power transfer capacity of 5000 MW.
In the next phase, inter-regional connectivity is planned to be strengthened with hybrid
system consisting of high capacity EHV/UHV AC and HVDC links. Such a National Power
Grid is envisaged to disperse power not only from Mega sized generation projects but also to
enable transfer of bulk power from one part of the country to another in different operational
scenarios say, in varying climatic conditions across the country: Summer, Winter, Monsoon
etc. Commissioning of links under this phase has already begun with the commissioning of
2000 MW Talcher-II HVDC Bipole, Raipur Rourkela 400kV D/C AC transmission line
having Series Compensation, augmentation of Gazuwaka HVDC (500MW) back to back link
and Tala transmission system. The inter-regional transfer capacity of 16,200 MW is available
as on date. Further strengthening of National Power Grid is envisaged through high capacity
AC EHV lines, 765 kV UHV AC lines/ HVDC lines. This phase is planned to be
implemented by 2012 when inter-regional power transfer capacity will be enhanced to about
37,700 MW by the end of XI Plan, depending upon planned growth of generation capacity.

SEGMENTS IN POWER GENERATION
1. THERMALCurrent installed capacity ofThermal Power as of February 28, 2011 is 111,324.48
MW which is 64.75% of total installed capacity.
Current installed base of Coal Based Thermal Power is92,418.38 MW whichcomes to 53.75% of total installed base.
Current installed base of Gas Based Thermal Power is 17,706.35 MW which is10.3% of total installed capacity.
Current installed base of Oil Based Thermal Power is 1,199.75 MW which is0.9% of total installed capacity.
The state of Maharashtra is the largest producer of thermal power in the country.
2. HYDRO POWERIndia is blessed with a rich hydro power potential. In the exploitable potential terms,
India ranks fifth in the world. Less than 25% of the potential has been developed as of
now. A large hydro has four main advantages.
It is a source of green energy. It has low variable cost. It is grid friendly. It can also can sub serve other purposes by irrigation, flood control, etc.
India has 3 major rivers: the Indus, the Brahmaputra, and the Ganga. It also has three
major river systems? Central Indian, west flowing rivers of south India, and east
flowing rivers of south India with a total of 48 river basins. The total potential from
these river basins is 600TWh (Terawatt Hours) of electricity.

Hydroelectric projects can be classified on the basis of purpose, hydraulic features,
capacity, head, constructional features, mode of operation, etc. The main types are
1. ROR (Run of River) There are not large reservoirs; a part of water flow is diverted tothe plant which is adjacent to the river. After generation the flow is diverted back tothe main flow through the tail race. This type of hydro plants requires a diversion dam
and has unregulated water flow.
2. Dam Storage In these types of hydro plants, large reservoirs are created by theconstruction a sizeable dam across the river and the plants is situated at the toe of the
dam. Here, water could be regulated to generate electricity depending upon the
demand
3. Pumped Storage These types of plants have two reservoirs, one at the upstream ofthe power plant and one at the downstream. When there is low peak demand, thewater from the reservoir situated downstream is pumped0020back to the upstream
reservoir.
Various initiatives for accelerated development have been taken up by the central
government to harness the hydro potential in India. Some of these are
Hydro Power Policy (1998) 50 000 MW initiative Preparation of viable models for private sector participation Ranking of projects R&M up gradation and life extension programmes Facilitation for trading and co-operation with other countries Execution of projects with interstate aspects by Central Public Sector Units
SMALL HYDRO
The word hydro comes from a Greek word meaning water. The energy from water has
been harnessed to produce electricity since long. It is the first renewable energy source to
be tapped essentially to produce electricity
Hydro power currently suffices one fifth of the global electricity supply, also improving
the electrical system reliability and stability throughout the world. It also substantially
avoids the green house gas emissions, thus complimenting the measures taken towards
the climate change issues.

Hydro projects below a specified capacity are known as small hydro. The definition of
small hydro differs from country to country, depending on the resources available and the
prevalent national perspective.The small hydro atlas shows that the largest of the projects
(30 MW) is in US and Canada. Small hydro power has emerged as one of the least cost
options of harnessing green energy amongst all the renewable energy technologies.
According to the power generated, small hydro power is classified into small, mini/micro
and Mico hydro.
In India, it is being classified as follows. Small hydro - 2 MW - 30 MW Mini - 100 kW -
2 MW Micro - 10 kW - 100 kW Mico hydro - 1 kW - 10 kW
Indira Sagar Dam partially completed in 2008
India was one of the pioneering countries in establishing hydro-electric power plants.
The power plants at Darjeeling and Shimsha (Shivanasamudra) were established in
1898 and 1902 respectively and are among the first in Asia.
The installed capacity as of 28-2-2011 was approximately 37,367.4 MW. The public
sector has a predominant share of 97% in this sector.

3. NUCLEAR POWER GENERATIONIn India, out of total installed capacity of 126993.97 MW (as on 31 August 2006); the
share of nuclear power is 3% at 3900 MW. From the electricity generation point of
view, nuclear power plants contributed 17 238.89 GWh out of total electricitygeneration of 6 17 510.44 GWh during April 2005 -March 2006, amounting to 2.79%
of total generation. However, with exponential growth in energy demand coupled
with a finite availability of coal, oil, and gas; there is a renewed emphasis on nuclear
energy. Moreover, nuclear energy is considered to be an environmentally benign
source of energy.
Department of Atomic Energy is carrying out nuclear energy programme in India. The
Indian Nuclear Power Programme has the following three stages.
1. The first stage, already commercial now, comprised setting up of PHWRs (pressurisedheavy water reactors) and associated fuel cycle facilities. PHWRs use natural uranium
as fuel and heavy water as moderator and coolant. The design, construction, and
operation of these reactors is undertaken by public sector undertaking the NPCIL
(Nuclear Power Corporation of India Ltd). The company operates 16 reactors (2
Boiling Water Reactors and 14 PHWRs) with a total capacity of 3900 MWe.
2. In the second stage, it was envisaged to set up FBRs (fast breeder reactors) along withreprocessing plants and plutonium-based fuel fabrication plants. Plutonium is
produced by irradiation of Uranium-238. The Fast Breeder Programme is in the
technology demonstration stage. Under this stage, the IGCAR (Indira Gandhi Centre
for Atomic Research) has completed design of a 500 MWe PFBR (prototype fast
breeder reactor) being implemented by BHAVINI (Bharatiya Nabhikiya Vidyut
Nigam).
3. The third stage of the Indian Nuclear Power Programme is based on the thorium-uranium-233 cycle. Uranium-233 is obtained by irradiation of thorium. Presently this
stage is in technology development phase. The ongoing development of 300 MWe
AHWR (advanced heavy water reactor) at BARC (Bhabha Atomic Research Centre)
concerns thorium utilization and its demonstration.

4. SOLARIndia is endowed with rich solar energy resource. The average intensity of solar
radiation received on India is 200 MW/km square (megawatt per kilometer square).
With a geographical area of 3.287 million km square, this amounts to 657.4 million
MW. However, 87.5% of the land is used for agriculture, forests, fallow lands, etc.,
6.7% for housing, industry, etc., and 5.8% is either barren, snow bound, or generally
inhabitable. Thus, only 12.5% of the land area amounting to 0.413 million km square
can, in theory, be used for solar energy installations. Even if 10% of this area can beused, the available solar energy would be 8 million MW, which is equivalent to 5 909
mtoe (million tons of oil equivalent) per year.
However, solar energy is a dilute source. The energy collected by 1 m square of a
solar collector in a day is approximately equal to that released by burning 1 kg of coal
or 1/2 litre of kerosene. Thus, large areas are needed for collection. Besides, the
-
8/6/2019 Secondary Data Pm&Fa
13/41
efficiency of conversion of solar energy to useful energy is low. Therefore, the energy
actually available would be order of magnitude lower than the aforementioned
estimates. Nonetheless, it is obvious that solar energy can be a good source of meeting
energy demands.
On the applications side, the range of solar energy is very large. While at the high end
there are megawatt level solar thermal power plants, at the lower end there are
domestic appliances such as solar cooker, solar water heater, and PV lanterns. Then,
in between, there are applications such as industrial process heat, desalination,
refrigeration and air-conditioning, drying, large scale cooking, water pumping,
domestic power systems, and passive solar architecture. Solar energy can be
harnessed to supply thermal as well as electrical energy. Those technologies that use
solar energy resource to generate energy are known as solar energy technologies.
Solar energy technologies consists of
Solar thermal technologies, which utilize sun's thermal energy and Solar photovoltaic technology, which convert solar energy directly in to
electricity.
Solar energy resource: Since the accurate information about solar energy resource at
a specific location is crucial for designing appropriate solar system. Solar energy
resource assessment becomes an essential activity of any solar energy programme.
The first Indian solar thermal power project (2X50MW) is in progress in Phalodi
(Rajasthan), and is constructed by CORPORATE ISPAT ALLOY LTD. The solar
thermal power plant has cost 4 times as much as the coal based steam thermal power
plant, CIAL carried this 2x850 crore solar thermal project. It is the "pioneering of
solar energy" in india. India is densely populated and has high solar insolation, an
ideal combination for using solar power in India. Much of the country does not havean electrical grid, so one of the first applications of solar power has been for water
pumping, to begin replacing India's four to five million diesel powered water pumps,
each consuming about 3.5 kilowatts, and off-grid lighting. Some large projects have
been proposed, and a 35,000 km area of the Thar Desert has been set aside for solar
power projects, sufficient to generate 700 to 2,100 gigawatts.

The Indian Solar Loan Programme, supported by the United Nations Environment
Programme has won the prestigious Energy Globe World award for Sustainability for
helping to establish a consumer financing program for solar home power systems.
Over the span of three years more than 16,000 solar home systems have been financed
through 2,000 bank branches, particularly in rural areas of South India where the
electricity grid does not yet extend.
Launched in 2003, the Indian Solar Loan Programme was a four-year partnership
between UNEP, the UNEP Risoe Centre, and two of India's largest banks, the Canara
Bank and Syndicate Bank.
Announced in November 2009, the Government of India proposed to launch its
Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission under the National Action Plan on Climate
Change with plans to generate 1,000 MW of power by 2013 and up to 20,000 MW
grid-based solar power, 2,000 MW of off-grid solar power and cover 20 million sq
metres with collectors by the end of the final phase of the mission in 2020.
5. WIND
The suns energy falling on the earth produces large-scale motions of the atmosphere
causing winds, which are also influenced by small scale flows caused by local
conditions such as nature of terrain, buildings, water bodies, etc. Wind energy is
extracted by turbines to convert the energy into electricity.
A small-scale and large-scale wind industry exists globally. The small-scale wind
industry caters for urban settings where a wind farm is not feasible and also where
there is a need for household electricity generation. The large-scale industry is
directed towards contributing to countrywide energy supply.
The development ofwind power in India began in the 1990s, and has significantly
increased in the last few years. Although a relative newcomer to the wind industry
compared with Denmark or the US, a combination of domestic policy support for
wind power and the rise of Suzlon have led India to become the country with the fifth
largest installed wind power capacity in the world.

As of June 2010 the installed capacity of wind power in India was 12009.14 MW,
mainly spread across Tamil Nadu (4132.72 MW), Maharashtra (1837.85 MW),
Karnataka (1184.45 MW), Rajasthan (670.97 MW), Gujarat (1432.71 MW), Andhra
Pradesh (122.45 MW), Madhya Pradesh (187.69 MW), Kerala (23.00 MW), West
Bengal (1.10 MW), other states (3.20 MW). It is estimated that 6,000 MW of
additional wind power capacity will be installed in India by 2012. Wind power
accounts for 6% of India's total installed power capacity, and it generates 1.6% of the
country's power.

WIND RESOURCE IN INDIA
The wind resource assessment in India estimates the total wind potential to be around
45 000 MW (mega watt). This potential is distributed mainly in the states ofTamil
Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Gujarat, Maharashtra, and Rajasthan. The
-
8/6/2019 Secondary Data Pm&Fa
16/41
technical potential that is based on the availability of infrastructure, for example the
availability of grid, is estimated to be around 13 000 MW. In India, the wind
resources fall in the low wind regime, the wind power density being in the range of
250 -450 W/m2
. It may be noted that this potential estimation is based on certain
assumptions. With ongoing resource assessment efforts, extension of grid,
improvement in the wind turbine technology, and sophisticated techniques for the
wind farm designing, the gross as well as the technical potential would increase in the
future.
STATUS
Wind power has become one of the prominent power generation technologies
amongst the renewable energy technologies.
TECHNOLOGY TRENDS
Use of wind energy started long ago when it was used for grinding. The commercial
use of wind energy for electrical power generation started in 1970s. Horizontal axis
wind turbines are most commonly used for power generation, although some vertical
axis wind turbine designs has been developed and tested. The vertical axis turbines
have structural as well as aerodynamic limitations and, hence, are not commercially
used.
WIND POWER IN INDIA
Wind turbines offered in India range from 250 kW to 2 MW capacities. As of 31
March 2006, the total installed capacity in the country was 5340 MW, which is 46%
of the total capacity of renewable resources based power generation. There are 7
manufacturers of wind turbine generators in India.

Rural Electrification
Jharkhand, Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Orissa, Uttranchal, and Madhya Pradesh are some of
the states where significant number (more than 10%) of villages are yet to be
electrified.
Number of Villages (1991 Census) - 593,732 Villages Electrified (30 May 2006) - 488,173 Village level Electrification % - 82.2%Rajiv Gandhi Grameen Vidyutikaran Yojana (RGGVY)Ministry of Power (Government of India) has launched nation-wide scheme for
development of rural and household electrification in 2005 towards the NationalCommon Minimum Programme goal of providing access to electricity to all. REC Ltd
is the nodal agency for the mega-scheme. Under the scheme, 90% capital subsidy is
provided by Government of India for overall cost of projects. Cumulatively till FY10,
works in 190,858 villages have been completed and free connections to over 10
million below poverty line (BPL) households have been released.
Renewable Energy
Renewable energy in India is a sector that is still undeveloped. India was the first
country in the world to set up a ministry of non-conventional energy resources, in
early 1980s. However its success has been very spotty. In recent years India has been
lagging behind other nations in the use of renewable energy (RE). The share of RE in
the energy sector is less than 8% of India's total energy needs. Renewable energy in
India comes under the purview of the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy.

IMPACT OF POWER SECTOR
LOCAL IMPACTS
Large power sources can affect their surroundings through impacts such as airpollution, submergence of land and waste accumulation, excessive resource use and
disruption of human activity.
The impacts of coal-based thermal plants are particularly important in a study of
India, as these plants currently provide the largest generating capacity in India, and
about 80% of the actual generation. Electricity generation consumed 67% of Indias
coal use, in 2002; further, Indias coal consumption is projected to grow 2.2%
annually between 2002 and 2025 (EIA, 2005).
Most of the existing thermal power plants in India use the traditional pulverized coal
combustion technology. As a result, they have to contend with gaseous emissions
including carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, sulphur dioxide,
mercury and particulate matter. Coal-burning thermal power plants in India are
responsible for about 40% of the countrys SO2 and 41% of its CO2 in 2000 (Shukla,
Nag, & Biswas, 2003). Coal-plant emissions far outweigh those from other fossil-fuel
plants contributing to acid rain, and air pollution and the consequent adverse effects
on health.
When based on locally mined coal, the associated problems of mining accidents and
land degradation are serious. In some areas, the use of high ash coal results in disposal
problems, although ash does have productive uses such as brick-making. However,
with the alternative fossil-fuel options, oil-and gas-based plants, too, issues of waste
disposal and possible drilling and pipeline accidents have to be considered. The water
use by some thermal plants constitutes a more serious problem; Indian thermal power
plants reportedly use 88% of the countrys industrial water supply (DTE, 2003).
Temperature increases and pollution of receiving water bodies through inadequately
treated effluents have also to be dealt with.
Although based on a clean and renewable source, large hydroelectric plants are not
impact-free. Large dams can cause submergence of human settlements and natural
-
8/6/2019 Secondary Data Pm&Fa
19/41
forests, adversely affecting or even destroying peoples livelihoods, particularly
traditional lifestyles, and also terrestrial ecosystems. However, the magnitude of these
impacts varies with the location and the height of the dams constructed.
With nuclear power plants, radiation hazards (not only through accidents), anddisposal of radioactive spent fuel must also be contended with. Thus far, no country is
sure of safe and permanent waste disposal. And, while clean in terms of carbon-
emissions, both ends of the nuclear fuel cycle uranium mining and nuclear waste
have harmful environmental impacts, if not very carefully managed.
However, environmental impact costs are not easily quantifiable. Pollution-induced
health impacts are underestimated when economically disadvantaged people do not
obtain medical treatment; similarly, disruption costs of displaced communities could
be inestimable.
REGIONAL IMPACTS
Regional pollution issues, for example the issue of acid rain and sulphur deposition,
have received attention in Northeast Asia. While the magnitude of coal-fired power
plants' contribution may be disputed, particularly during winter and spring, when
dominant high-pressure systems sweep accumulated pollutants off the landmass
toward the eastern ocean-mass.
To study and analyze the power sector better, the comparative and analytical study of
the Top 5 listed firms of power sector in India is done. The firms are chosen based on
their sales turnover. The below are the firms selected by us for the study,

RATIO ANALYSIS
Financial ratio analysis can reveal much about a company and its operations. However,
there are several points to keep in mind about ratios. First, a ratio is a "flag" indicating
areas of strength or weakness. One or even several ratios might be misleading, but when
combined with other knowledge of a company's management and economic
circumstances, financial analysis can tell much about a corporation. Second, there is no
single correct value for a ratio. The observation that the value of a particular ratio is too
high, too low, or just right depends on the perspective of the analyst and on the company's
competitive strategy. Third, financial ratios are meaningful only when compared with
some standard, such as an industry trend, ratio trend, a trend for the specific company
being analyzed, or a stated management objective.
Key Ratios
1. Debt-to-equity ratio:A debt-to-equity ratio, which is the total debt of an entity divided by the total equity
of that entity, is a measure of the use of leverage or a measure of risk. Leverage is the
use of other people's money to make money. In its simplest form, it is borrowing
money from someone at a stated interest rate (such as 8%) and then investing that
money in a project that earns a greater return than this stated rate (such as a 12%
return). Leverage results in great profitability--when it works--because an entity is
earning profits without having to invest any of its own money to get that return. The
greater an entity's debt-to equity ratio, the greater is the use of other people's money to
make money. The greater an entity's debt-to-equity ratio, the greater is the opportunity
for high returns for that entity. The debt-to-equity ratio is also a measure of risk since
the more debt that is used, the greater the risk that the entity might be forced to
liquidate and go out of business.
2. Long Term Debt-to-equity Ratio:It is a capitalization ratio comparing long-term debt to shareholders' equity. Its a
measure of a company's financial leverage calculated by dividing its total liabilities by
stockholders' equity. It indicates what proportion of equity and debt the company is
using to finance its assets. Sometimes only interest-bearing, long-term debt is used

iii. Inventory turnover:Its a ratio showing how many times a company's inventory is sold and replaced
over a period. This ratio measures the stock in relation to turnover in order to
determine how often the stock turns over in the business. It indicates the
efficiency of the firm in selling its product. It is calculated by dividing the cost of
goods sold by the average inventory. Inventory represents one of the most
important assets that most businesses possess, because the turnover of inventory
represents one of the primary sources of revenue generation and subsequent
earnings for the company's shareholders/owners. Possessing a high amount of
inventory for long periods of time is not usually good for a business because of
inventory storage and obsolescence costs. However, possessing too little inventory
isn't good either, because the business runs the risk of losing out on potential sales
and potential market share as well. The days in the period can then be divided by
the inventory turnover formula to calculate the days it takes to sell the inventory
on hand or "inventory turnover days".
iv. Debtors Turnover Ratio:This ratio indicates the relation between net credit sales and average accounts
receivables of the years. Its also known as debtors velocity. This ratio indicates
the efficiency of the concern to collect the amount due from debtors. It determines
the efficiency with which the trade debtors are managed. Higher the ratio, better it
is as it proves that the debts are being collected very quickly.
v. ROCE (Return on Capital Employed):ROCE is used in finance as a measure of the returns that a company is realizing
from its capital employed. It is commonly used as a measure for comparing the
performance between businesses and for assessing whether a business generates
enough returns to pay for its cost of capital.
vi. RONW (Return on Net Worth):RONW is the ratio of net income after taxes to total net worth at the end of the
year. This ratio indicates the return on stockholder's total equity. Also known as
Return on equity which measures a corporation's profitability by revealing how
much profit a company generates with the money shareholders have invested.

FUNDAMENTAL ANALYSIS
Fundamental analysis is the examination of the underlying forces that affect the well
being of the economy, industry groups, and companies. As with most analysis, the
goal is to derive a forecast and profit from future price movements. At the company
level, fundamental analysis may involve examination of financial data, management,
business concept and competition. At the industry level, there might be an
examination of supply and demand forces for the products offered. For the national
economy, fundamental analysis might focus on economic data to assess the present
and future growth of the economy. To forecast future stock prices, fundamental
analysis combines economic, industry, and company analysis to derive a stock's
current fair value and forecast future value. If fair value is not equal to the current
stock price, fundamental analysts believe that the stock is either over or under valued
and the market price will ultimately gravitate towards fair value. Fundamentalists do
not heed the advice of the random walkers and believe that markets are weak-form
efficient. By believing that prices do not accurately reflect all available information,
fundamental analysts look to capitalize on perceived price discrepancies.
Strengths of Fundamental Analysis
1.
Long-term Trends
Fundamental analysis is good for long-term investments based on long-term
trends, very long-term. The ability to identify and predict long-term economic,
demographic, technological or consumer trends can benefit patient investors who
pick the right industry groups or companies.
2. Value Spotting
Sound fundamental analysis will help identify companies that represent a goodvalue. Some of the most legendary investors think long-term and value. Graham
and Dodd, Warren Buffett and John Neff are seen as the champions of value
investing. Fundamental analysis can help uncover companies with valuable assets,
a strong balance sheet, stable earnings, and staying power.

3. Business AcumenOne of the most obvious, but less tangible, rewards of fundamental analysis is the
development of a thorough understanding of the business. After such painstaking
research and analysis, an investor will be familiar with the key revenue and profitdrivers behind a company. Earnings and earnings expectations can be potent
drivers of equity prices. Even some technicians will agree to that. A good
understanding can help investors avoid companies that are prone to shortfalls and
identify those that continue to deliver. In addition to understanding the business,
fundamental analysis allows investors to develop an understanding of the key
value drivers and companies within an industry. A stock's price is heavily
influenced by its industry group. By studying these groups, investors can better
position themselves to identify opportunities that are high-risk (tech), low-risk(utilities), growth oriented (computer), value driven (oil), non-cyclical (consumer
staples), cyclical (transportation) or income-oriented (high yield).
4. Knowing Who's WhoStocks move as a group. By understanding a company's business, investors can
better position themselves to categorize stocks within their relevant industry
group. Business can change rapidly and with it the revenue mix of a company.
This happened too many of the pure Internet retailers, which were not really
Internet companies, but plain retailers. Knowing a company's business and being
able to place it in a group can make a huge difference in relative valuations.
Weaknesses of Fundamental Analysis
1. Time ConstraintsFundamental analysis may offer excellent insights, but it can be extraordinarily
time-consuming. Time-consuming models often produce valuations that are
contradictory to the current price prevailing on Wall Street. When this happens,
the analyst basically claims that the whole street has got it wrong. This is not to
say that there are not misunderstood companies out there, but it is quite brash to
imply that the market price, and hence Wall Street, is wrong.

2. Industry/Company SpecificValuation techniques vary depending on the industry group and specifics of each
company. For this reason, a different technique and model is required for different
industries and different companies.T
his can get quite time-consuming, which canlimit the amount of research that can be performed. A subscription-based model
may work great for an Internet Service Provider (ISP), but is not likely to be the
best model to value an oil company.

PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT
Portfolio theory is an investment approach developed by University of Chicago
economist Harry M. Markowitz (1927 - ), who won a Nobel Prize in economics in
1990.
Portfolio theory allows investors to estimate both the expected risks and returns,
as measured statistically, for their investment portfolios.
Markowitz described how to combine assets into efficiently diversified portfolios.
It was his position that a portfolio's risk could be reduced and the expected rate of
return could be improved if investments having dissimilar price movements were
combined.
In other words, Markowitz explained how to best assemble a diversified portfolio
and proved that such a portfolio would likely do well.
PORTFOLIO STRATEGY
There are two types of Portfolio Strategies:
A. Passive Portfolio Strategy:It is a strategy that involves minimal expectational input, and relies on
diversification to match the performance of some market index. A passive
strategy assumes that the marketplace will reflect all available information in
the price paid for securities.
B. Active Portfolio Strategy:
It is a strategy that uses available information and forecasting techniques toseek a better performance than a portfolio that is simply diversified broadly.

Moreover, there are three more types of Portfolios:
1. The Patient Portfolio:This type invests in well-known stocks. Most pay dividends and are candidates
to buy and hold for long periods. The vast majority of the stocks in this
portfolio represent classic growth companies, those that can be expected to
deliver higher earnings on a regular basis regardless of economic conditions.
2. The Aggressive Portfolio:This portfolio invests in "expensive stocks" (in terms of such measurements as
price-earnings ratios) that offer big rewards but also carry big risks. This
portfolio "collects" stocks of rapidly growing companies of all sizes, that overthe next few years are expected to deliver rapid annual earnings growth.
Because many of these stocks are on the less-established side, this portfolio is
the likeliest to experience big turnovers over time, as winners and losers
become apparent.
3. The Conservative Portfolio:They choose stocks with an eye on yield, as well as earnings growth and a
steady dividend history.
