Case Study on Mundra UMPP
Executive Summary
It is expected that 87 GW of power capacities need to be added over the next 5 years as compared to only 42 GW added in the previous 5 years, translating to a supply increase of 7.7 per cent CAGR between 2010-11 and 2015-16. The increased supply of power coupled with robust economic growth is expected to boost power demand at a compounded rate of 6.6 per cent from 2010-11 to 2015-16 vis-a-vis the previous 5-year
CAGR of 6.4 per cent.
The Government has launched several new programmes and made many regulatory changes in order to replenish the huge demand-supply gap in power sector by attracting private players and increasing their participation. Ultra Mega Power Project (UMPP) is a series of ambitious power projects planned by GoI. The UMPPs, each with a capacity of
4000 megawatts or above, are being developed with the aim of bridging this gap. Based on supercritical technology, 16,000 MW of capacity has been contracted through the competitive bidding process for UMPPs.
Capacity addition has gained momentum over the last 2 years
Year-wise sector-wise capacity addition (conventional energy)

For the successful implementation of the power expansion plan, it is essential that all the key inputs required are made available as per the schedule of their requirement for each

individual power project. Since these are some of the major key inputs, an assessment of the approximate requirement for the 11th and 12th Plan power projects will be useful input for the manufacturers and suppliers. This case study provides an overview of
