| The
Indian Power Sector Scenario |
As per the Ministry of Power (“MoP”), Government
of India (“GoI”), the all India installed
capacity of electric power generating stations was 112,058.42
MW as on March 31, 2004. This total capacity consisted
of 29,500.23 MW hydro power based capacity, 77,968.53
MW thermal power based capacity, 2,720 MW nuclear power
based capacity and 1,869.66 MW wind power based capacity.
A capacity addition target of 5,202.34 MW consisting of
3,765.00 MW of hydro power and 1,437.34 MW of thermal
power was envisaged for the year 2003-04. As against the
aforesaid capacity addition target, a capacity addition
of 3,951.62 MW consisting of 2,590.00 MW of hydro power
and 1,361.62 MW of thermal power was achieved. (Source:
MoP website).
The 16th Electric Power Survey (“EPS”) carried
out by the Central Electricity Authority has projected
a peak demand of 115,705 MW and an energy requirement
of 719,097 MU by the end of 10th Five Year Plan (2002-07),
while the peak demand and energy requirement by the end
of the 11th Five Year Plan (2007-12) has been projected
at 157,107 MW and 975,222 MU respectively. The GoI has
targeted capacity additions of about 41000 MW during 10th
Five Year Plan. Further, in order to provide power on
demand to all consumers by 2012, the GoI plans to add
around 100,000 MW of additional capacities during the
10th and 11th Five Year Plan periods. (Source: 16th EPS
and Crisinfac report ’State of the Industry’).

Supply Position |
| The
country has in the recent past has being experiencing
chronic peak shortages of power availability. While the
peak shortages have come down from 20.5% in 1992-93 to
12.2% in 2002 -03, overall power shortages have firmed
up to 8.8% in 2002-03 from 7.3% in 1992-93. The chart
below summarises the power shortage scenario in the country. |
