For the fourth consecutive year, the Company has been able to achieve 100% realization of current bills. All the states have opened and are maintaining LC equal to or more than 105% of average monthly billing as per Onetime Settlement Scheme. 

 
INSTALLED CAPACITY 

 
During the year, a total capacity of 3155 MW was added to NTPC's installed capacity. Out of the above, 1710 MW was commissioned as expansion projects including 2X500 MW at Vindhyachal, 210 MW at Unchahar and 500 MW at Kahalgaon. Further, Ministry of Power, Govt of India transferred Badarpur Thermal Power Station (BTPS) having an installed capacity of 705 MW w.e.f.1.6.2006. In addition, 740 MW was added through its Joint Venture, Ratnagiri Gas and Power Private Limited at Dabhol. 

 
Recently, in fiscal 2008, a 500 MW unit at Sipat Super Thermal Power Project - Stage - II was commissioned on 27.05.2007. Thus, the total installed capacity of the NTPC Group has increased from 24249 MW to 27904 MW.

CAPACITY ADDITION PROGRAM 

 The Company has adopted multi-pronged growth strategy to become 50000 MW plus company by the year 2012 and to have 75000 MW plus installed capacity by 2017. This is a huge capacity addition programme. The strategy, interalia includes capacity addition through green field projects, expansion of existing stations, joint venture and takeover of stations. 

Besides developing thermal capacity in a major way, the Company is setting up hydro capacity of 1920 MW by 2012.

To foray into nuclear power generation business, the Company has amended its Object Clause of the Memorandum of Association through the process of postal ballot, which received overwhelming support from you. The company plans to add 2000 MW of nuclear capacity by 2017.

Efforts are also being made to add at least 1000 MW capacity through Non-conventional Energy Resources by 2017. A Memorandum of Understanding was signed with Asian Development Bank on July 23, 2007 to set up as a Joint Venture, a generating Company with equity contribution by the company, ADB and other strategic investors. The company shall, over next three years, establish and hold a portfolio of about 500 MW of renewable generation. 
 
 PROJECTS PLANNED 

The Company has envisaged a capacity addition programme of about 22600 MW in XI Plan (2007-2012). After the commissioning of a unit of 500 MW of Sipat stage-II, the balance capacity to be added during this period is 22100 MW. A capacity of 13360 MW is under execution and for the balance, planning and preparation are at advance stage execution.

STRATEGIC DIVERSIFICATION 

In order to strengthen its competitive advantage in power generation business, the Company also plans to diversify its portfolio to emerge as an integrated power major, with presence across entire energy value chain through backward and forward integration into areas such as coal mining, LNG value chain, power trading, distribution etc. 

Business opportunities are being continuously explored through environment scanning and new business plans are adopted through mid-course correction. 

 
The Company has signed a Business Collaboration and Shareholders agreement with Transformers and Electricals Kerala Limited (TELK) and the Government of Kerala on June 23, 2007 for synergy in the field of manufacturing and repair of Power Transformers, Current Voltage Transformers, Circuit Breakers, Isolated Phase, Bus Ducts, Shunt Reactors etc.

As a result of this agreement, the Company has agreed to acquire 44.6% stake in TELK from Government of Kerala and its undertakings. 

GLOBALISATION INITIATIVES 

The Company is keenly exploring opportunities to mark its footprints in different parts of the world.

During the year 2006-2007, the Company signed a Memorandum of Agreement with Government of Sri Lanka and Ceylon Electricity Board for development of a 2X250 MW Coal based power project at Trincomalee in Sri Lanka. The project would be developed through a Joint Venture with Ceylon Electricity Board. 

A Memorandum of Understanding was also signed between the Company and Ministry of Energy, Federal Government of Nigeria (FGN) for energy cooperation. Under the MoU, FGN shall provide at least 3 Million Tonnes Per Annum (MTPA) of LNG to NTPC on long-term basis at a reasonable price and encourage NTPC to participate in bidding for gas block. Upon successful operation of obligation by FGN, the Company shall set up and operate a 500 MW coal based power plant and a 700 MW gas based power plant in Nigeria on its own or through a Joint Venture. 

The Company signed a Memorandum of Understanding with KYUSHU Electric Power Company Inc., Japan for establishing an alliance under which experts and information from different areas of the business will be exchanged to promote mutual understanding of the systems, policies, business planning & management and various best practices used by the parties and for exploring the possibility of joint business development. 
 
The Company is also seeking investment from West Asian / Middle East countries for its power projects in line with the decision of Ministry of Power, Government of India. High level delegations from the Company / Ministry of Power visited various West Asian countries viz. Oman, Kuwait, Bahrain, UAE and Yemen to explore the possibility of investments by prospective investors in Power Projects of the Company as well as to explore the possibility of offering expertise to West Asian countries for developing mutually beneficial relationship. 

FINANCING OF NEW PROJECTS 

All the planned capacity addition programs shall be financed with a debt to equity ratio of 70:30. The directors believe that internal accruals of the company would be sufficient to finance the equity portion of the investments. The directors believe that the Company is well positioned to raise the required borrowing, as the Company is presently geared with a debt to equity ratio of 0.50. The Company would tap domestic as well as overseas markets for borrowings. 

During the year, the Company has signed an agreement with Asian Development Bank (ADB) for a loan of USD 300 million under Complementary Finance Scheme of ADB in September 2006. ADB has extended this loan for the first time to the Company directly and also without any Sovereign guarantee. 

FIXED DEPOSITS 

The cumulative deposits received by the Company from 604 depositors as at March 31, 2007 were Rs 328 million. Further an amount of Rs. 4 million has not been claimed on maturity by 107 depositors as on that date. 
 
FUEL SECURITY 

The Company is the largest consumer of coal in the country for power generation. During the year, the Company obtained long term coal linkages for its various projects from various subsidiary companies of Coal India Limited (CIL).

The Company and Coal India initialled a Model Coal Supply Agreement on March 29, 2007 which inter-alia contains various provisions under which coal would be sourced from various subsidiaries of CIL by power stations for a continuous period of 20 years with a provision for review after 5 years of operation of the agreement. The Model Agreement provides for sourcing the present supplies as well as provides a platform for coal agreement for future power stations. The agreement provides for a mechanism of fixing the price derived from a pre decided floor price. To overcome temporary shortages in coal supply, the Company resorted to import of coal of 2.43 million tonnes being 2.14% of total coal consumed during the year 2006-07. 

Coal Mining 

On August 25, 2006, Ministry of Coal approved the mining plan of 15 MTPA for the first coal mining project i.e. Pakri-Barwadih of the Company. This is the largest ever capacity planned, in the very first phase, in a single mine in the country. Process of selection of Mine Developer cum Operator for this mine is under way. For other coal mining blocks viz Chatti-Bariatu, Kerendari, Dulanga & Talaipalli, besides initiating work on completion of exploration, various studies have also been initiated. 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS 


INDUSTRY OVERVIEW 


The power industry is at a threshold of major growth cycle along the complete value chain in view of the fact that GDP is expected to grow at over 8% per annum. The Government has been taking several initiatives to give thrust to the growth and reform of the sector and also to make electricity reach the rural areas and the poor people. Commercialization and equity are being promoted by an appropriate policy dispensation.

AS PER WEBSITE

 

National Thermal Power Corporation Limited

 

National Thermal Power Corporation (NTPC), India's largest power generation company, is set to tap the market with a public offering of approximately 86.5 crore shares. It plans to use the money for an aggressive expansion to feed the growing demands of the country's energy-starved economy.

 
NTPC is the sixth largest thermal power generator and the second-most efficient utility in terms of capacity utilisation in the world based on data of 1998. The company's installed capacity, as on March 31 2004, was 21,435 MW through 13 coal-fired power stations and seven gas-fired power stations (including one naptha-fired station at Kayamkulam). It also operates 314 MW of capacity through three joint venture projects and manages a 705-MW power station owned by the Union government.

 
NTPC generated 149.2 billion units of electricity in FY 2004 in its power stations spread all over India. As of 31 March 2004, the company's installed capacity represented 19.1% of India's total installed capacity and contributed 26.7% of the total power generated in the country during FY 2004. In FY 2004, over 99% of its total sales of electricity were to the state electricity boards (SEBs) pursuant to long-term power purchase agreements. NTPC realised 100% of the amount due from SEBs in FY 2004 and their current payments are secured through letters of credit. 

 
NTPC plans to add 9370 MW of generating capacity during the Tenth Plan ending 2007. The estimated capital expenditure for the additional capacity is around Rs 41522 crore. It plans to fund this with a debt-equity ratio of 70:30. The funds raised through the fresh issue of equity shares shall be used mainly to fund equity component of the capacity expansion programme. The company aims to spend around Rs 88500 crore on capacity expansion of 11,558 mw in the Eleventh Plan ending 2012. While majority of this capacity expansion will be based on coal-fired units, NTPC is also looking at hydroelectric power projects as well as gas-based power projects.  

 
NTPC has already entered into power trading through its subsidiary NTPC Vidyut Vyapar Nigam. In order to leverage its vast experience in the power sector, NTPC has entered into several joint ventures in construction, erection, renovation, modernisation and project management in power and related sectors in India and abroad. The company is closely studying several power distribution projects and plans to get into it. In the long run, it plans to be India's premier fully integrated power company.

 
Of the capacity addition planned in the Tenth Plan, 2,000-MW capacity has already been commissioned and 7,370-MW is under construction. Work for 2,120-MW capacity to be commissioned in the Eleventh Plan has also commenced. The capacity addition target set by the government of India (GoI) for the Tenth Plan is 41,110 MW. Of this, the central public sector units (CPSUs) are to implement 22,832 MW. The share of NTPC is 9370 MW, or 41%. It has a memorandum of understanding (MoU) for a joint venture (JV) with the Indian Railways for 500-MW capacity (to be expanded by another 500 MW in the Eleventh Plan) and an JV with the Steel Authority of India to set up-500-MW capacity by FY 2007. 


The power industry in India has been characterised by energy shortage. The shortage is estimated to be 7.1% in terms of total requirement and 11.2% in terms of peak demand requirement for FY 2004. As per a study by the United Nations, India had one of the lowest per capita consumption of 355 units in 2000. In the draft Electricity Policy, the government plans to increase the per capita power consumption to 1,000 units by 2012. The current requirement is 5,59,264 million units (MU) while the availability is 5,19,398 MU. The total installed capacity is 1,12,058 MW as on March 2004. In order to meet the increased demand, the installed capacity needs to be almost doubled to around 2,12,000-MW by 2012 - an increase of around 99,942-MW. By 2012, NTPC plans to have an installed capacity of around 40,000 MW contributing around 18.8% of India's energy requirement.

 
Demand has never been a problem for India's power sector and is unlikely to be so in the foreseeable future. Gross mismanagement of SEBs (which had the monopoly in distribution of power), rampant power thefts and highly politicised nature of the sector, leading to commercially unviable and frequently changing policies, have discouraged fresh investment in the power sector for the past several years. There are some signs of the situation changing for the better with passage of Electricity Act, 2003, which has many positive features. However, the overall power policy is still evolving and there can be many forward and backward steps as various key issues are resolved. Moreover, implementation and interpretation of the Act and policies remain in the hands of the Central and state governments. One can only hope that economics will prevail over politics. Any investor in this sector will have to bear in mind that this risk is real and cannot be wished away. Remember the massive fall in all power scrips when the new government, at the instance of Left Front, announced the intention to review the Electricity Act.

Another problem for the power sector is the availability of fuel. NTPC's expansion plans are mainly based on coal. But, even now, it is facing shortage of coal. India's coal sector remains the monopoly of the government and mismanagement of this sector is well known. Unless investment in the coal sector is increased substantially, availability of coal will pose serious problem and the company's expansion can remain on paper. During the Ninth Plan, NTPC installed only 51% of its planned capacity addition. 

 
NTPC's financial growth record is lackluster. Between FY 2000 to FY 2004, its sales have increased at an CAGR of paltry 4.1% to Rs 188519 millions. The operating profit (OP) fell from Rs 64588 millions to Rs 47721 millions. The adjusted net profit grew at a meagre 2.4 % to Rs 39869 millions. The sharp growth (46 %) in reported net profit in FY 2004 was mainly due to the huge other income (OI) on account of the one-time settlement of past dues with SEBs. Notably, most of the extraordinary portion of OI (related to past years) came in the September 2003 quarter and, hence, the September 2004 quarter will witness a massive fall in reported net profit. Incidentally, the September 2004 quarterly results will be NTPC's first post-listing quarterly results.

   
In the first quarter ended June 2004, NTPC's sales are higher by 8% to Rs 51867 millions, but OP is 4% lower to Rs 14980 millions. The net profit is 17% higher to Rs 10541 millions due to a 213% jump in OI to Rs 5429 millions. Thus, the company's profit has increased in FY 2004 and Q1 of FY 2005 largely due to the sharp rise in OI. From Q2 of FY 2005, this advantage will not be available due to the already high base. With effect from April 2004, the return on equity factored into while calculating tariff has been reduced from 16% to 14%, which has already started affecting NTPC's profit adversely.

  
The major listed power generation companies are Neyveli Lignite Corporation (NLC), Tata Power (TPC) and Reliance Energy (REL). NTPC's net worth and the scale of operation are substantially higher than the rest in the peer group and all the players are and will be facing similar problems and have similar opportunities. Currently, REL is enjoying the highest P/E of 36 and NLC is available at the lowest P/E of 9. TPC gets P/E of 12. As is the norm, prices of these scrips have increased substantially in the run-up to the NTPC IPO. NTPC is being offered at an P/E of 10.7 to 12.8 at the offer price of Rs 52 to Rs 62. All P/Es are based on actual FY 2004 EPS on fully diluted equity. The key to the long-term growth rates in their earning is their expansion plans. NTPC's plans have already been discussed. 

 
NLC, a 94% Central government company, has power generation capacity of 2,700 MW. TPC, on the other hand, is the largest private player in the power sector, with a generation capacity of 2,278 MW, which is 52% of the total power generation capacity of the private sector in the country. Out of TPC's total installed capacity, 79% is in the Mumbai circle. REL was formerly into distribution of power in the northern suburbs of Mumbai. But since 1995-96, it has entered into power generation and currently, has a capacity of around 941 MW.  

 
NLC has announced plans to add 6,000 MW power generation capacity to the existing 2,700 MW. TPC is planning to add another 3,000 MW generation capacity in the coming years. The company also plans to increase its exposure to distribution circles and transmission networks, going forward. REL has more aggressive plans. The company has planned a 9,000-MW generation capacity by 2012, almost 10 times its current capacity. Most of REL's expansion is based on already discovered gas by Reliance Industries. 


The Unit IV(500 MW) of Talcher Super Thermal Power Project(TSTPP)-Stage II of the company has been successfully synchronised on 06th February 2005 and with the commissioning of this unit,TSTPP-Stage II has been completed and the installed capacity of Talcher Super Thermal Power Project has risen to 3000 MW.
