PROFILE OF THE INDUSTRY
INDIAN ELECTRICITY In the pre independent era the power development in India was slow and consisting of 852 MW thermal and 508 MW hydro capacities existed at the time of the independence in the year 1947. In 1948 the Damodar Valley Corporation (DVC) was incorporated under the DVC act, with the objective of the generation, transmission an distribution of both Hydro electric and Thermal power in the Valley area of Damodar River in the State of West Bengaland Bihar. The Electricity supply act 1948 paved the way for creation of state Electricity Boards (SEBs). In mid 70’s Govt.of India decided to create generating companies in the central sector to supplement the efforts of the states. NTPC WAS CREATED in the year 1975 in the central sector to set up thermal generating units along with associated power evacuation system. At present, NTPC installed capacity of 24,249 MW. NTPC is the 6th largest in terms of thermal power generation and the second most efficient in terms of capacity utilization amongst the thermal utility in the world.
Only 56% of the Indian population has access to regular power. That's about 500million people without access. Per-capita consumption of power in India is 606 of the world average. KWH, 20%
India needs another 100,000 MW to come online by 2012 to keep growth going 100,000 MW implies an additional investment of $100 billion in generation.
The breakdown of India's power generation looks like this:
Hydropower — 32,335 MW (26% of total)
Thermal — 82,500 MW (66% of total)
Nuclear — 3,310 MW (3% of total) [to go up to 25% if we get access to nuclear fuel]
Renewable/Alternative — 6,158 (6% of total) That's about 125,000 MW in current production, with another 41,500 MW in execution currently. Total commercial losses of state utilities as a percentage of turn over dropped from 40% in 1999 to 14% in
