ECONOMY AND POWER
SECTOR SCENARIO
ECONOMY
The economic growth in 2010-11 has been swift and broad-based. Growth in
2010-11 is estimated to be 8.6% as against 8.0% in 2009-10. Agricultural sector
showed a rebound at a growth rate of 5.4% and industry continued to regain its
earlier momentum with a growth rate of 8.1%, while service sector showed 25 a
decelerated growth of 9.6%. The main concern has been the continuous price rise
as indicated by Wholesale Price Index. FY 2010-11 started with 11% headline
inflation in April 2010. Overall average inflation from April-December 2010 at
9.4% is the highest recorded in the last ten years. Despite concerns about such
high inflation, which will be impacting the cost of all commodities including
power,
INFRASTRUCTURE
The fast growth of the economy in the recent years has placed increased
stress on physical infrastructure such as electricity, railways, roads, ports,
airports, irrigation, urban and rural water supply and sanitation, all of which
already suffer from a substantial deficit from the past in terms of capacities
as well as efficiencies in the delivery of critical infrastructure services.
The pattern of inclusive growth of the economy projected for the Eleventh Plan
can be achieved only if this infrastructure deficit can be overcome and
adequate investment takes place to support higher growth and an improved
quality of life for both urban and rural communities. Much progress is evident
in sectors like telecommunication, roads, airports and ports but Power sector
continues to lag behind despite various reforms.
POWER SECTOR
SCENARIO
Power Sector is the prime mover of economic growth and is the key
element for the sustenance of a modern economy. Future economic growth
crucially depends on the long term availability of energy from sources that are
affordable, accessible, sustainable and environment friendly.
The Indian Power Sector has come a long way over the past six decades
since independence. From an installed generation capacity of a meagre 1,362 MW
in 1947,
DEMAND AND SUPPLY
SCENARIO
The Ministry of Power has projected the actual power demand in the range
of 1,029-1,077 billion units by the end of the Eleventh Plan. The 17th Electric
Power Survey of India projects a 7.05% CAGR for power demand from 2011-12 to
2021-22 and 6.92% CAGR for peak demand during the same period.
There has been a persistent mismatch in power demand-supply scenario
over the past three consecutive Five Year Plans. The peak power deficit has
reduced from 16.60% to 10.40% and the Energy deficit has decreased from 9.90%
to 8.60% during the current Five Year Plan.
The western region of the country faced the highest energy deficit i.e.
13.40% and Peak demand deficit i.e. 16.80% during the period April 2010 –
February 2011. However, in the state of
Shortages of this magnitude can significantly constrain industrial
activity and restrict economic growth of any country. On the basis of our past
experience and prevalent trend in this sector, it would not be wrong to say
that if India continues to grow even at current pace and necessary actions are
not taken, Power demand-supply gap is likely to persist over the coming decade.
Deficits mentioned above can be tamed if necessary steps are initiated
in time and required infrastructure for transmission of Power generated in one
part of the country to other parts comes in place. Most of the generation
capacity is coming up in the eastern region of the country. Inter-regional
transmission capacity needs to be strengthened to transport this power to the
high load northern and western regions.
GENERATION
SCENARIO
The total generation capacity increased to 173,626 MW as on 31st March,
2011 as compared to 159,398 MW on 31st March, 2010, an increase of 8.90%. The
western region has the highest installed capacity of 53,562 MW as on 31st
March, 2011 as compared to 50,225 MW as on 31st March, 2010, an increase of
6.60%. The total Generation Capacity Addition (other than renewable) during the
year 2010-11 was 12,160 MW as compared to 9,585 MW during the year 2009-10, an
increase of 27%. This is almost thrice the average annual capacity ddition of 4,236 MW in the Tenth five year
plan.
The generation segment has been able to meet only around 50% of the
Planned targets during the Eighth, Ninth and Tenth Plan periods. Despite these
slippages, the government has set an ambitious target for capacity addition of
78,700 MW in the Eleventh Five Year Plan, which has been revised to 62,374 MW
in the mid-term review. So far, approximately 30,000 MW has been added in the
first three and half years of the Eleventh Five Year Plan and generation
projects for the remaining capacity are under construction. Though for the
first time since early nineties, it seems that the planned capacity addition is
on track,
Until recently, role of the private sector was very meagre and there was
barely any major incentive for the private sector to enter this highly regulated
and capital intensive sector. The generation sector has seen high private
participation after it was de-licensed by the enactment of the Electricity Act,
2003. The share of private sector which was around 4% in 1993-94 has now
increased to 20% of the capacity and 14% of the total power generation
(excluding generation from renewable sources). The private sector is expected
to install about 19,797 MW during the current plan period, contributing about
32% of the capacity to be added in the Eleventh Plan period.
At 65%, as per the above chart, thermal power (coal, gas and diesel)
contributes the highest to the installed capacity. Coal is going to remain the
mainstay fuel, though declining gradually, for power generation in the coming
years as well. The share of hydro stands at about 22% and renewable energy
contributes approximately 11%. However, the share of thermal capacity has
gradually decreased from 72% in 1999-2000 to 65% in 2010-11. Thermal sources
have mainly been replaced by renewables whose contribution has increased from a
miniscule 1% to about 10.6% during the last decade.
The key trends and developments in the generation sector are as under:
1. Budget 2011 has extended Excise Duty exemption to goods required for
expansion of mega / ultra mega power projects under specified conditions at par
with exemption from countervailing duty on the import of goods for expansion of
such projects.
2. New coal linkage norms for deciding coal linkages on point basis for
future power projects are issued whereby sector wise priority for coal linkage
is proposed. The coal linkage policy also proposes a methodology of allotting
weightage points for prioritizing between projects. This involves parameters
such as supercritical technology, location, water linkage and land acquisition.
The methodology incentivizes projects which are based on supercritical
technology and have tied up critical project resources such as water and land
well in advance.
3. Ministry of Power decided to adopt a set of criteria for recommending
gas allocation for Twelfth Plan projects. This involves parameters such as land
acquisition, plant efficiency, Terms of Reference/ environmental clearance etc.
The policy explicitly states that domestic gas linkage will be upto 60% of
requirement. In the initial stage, projects will be given in-principle approval
for domestic gas.
4. To encourage indigenous manufacturing, Central Electricity Authority
issued a directive to central and state public sector utilities to procure
supercritical equipments only from domestic manufacturers.
5. The Ministry of Power in consultation with Central Electricity
Regulatory Commission and Central Electricity Authority has taken a policy
decision to mandate competitive tariff based bidding for thermal power plants
from 5th January, 2011.
6. The Government of
7. Eligibility period for deduction under Section 80 (IA) of Income Tax
Act, 1961 has been extended by one year in the Union Budget 2011-12.

TRANSMISSION
SCENARIO
In order to realize ambitious power sector objectives of providing
‘Power for All’ by 2012 and to meet the demands of a growing economy, it has
become imperative to ensure that the transmission segment grows in sync and
that the momentum of investment in transmission sector is accelerated and
sustained. The Eleventh and Twelfth Plans have set some challenging targets for
the transmission sector. The total requirement of funds for transmission during
the Eleventh Plan works out to Rs. 1,400 billion and the planned investment for
the Twelfth Plan is Rs. 2,400 billion including Rs. 1,400 billion in the
central sector (interstate system) and Rs. 1,000 billion in the state sector
(intrastate system).
According to the statistics of Central Electricity Authority, transmission
lines have grown by over two and a half times from around 156,000 ckt. Kms. in
March 1985 to more than 403,000 ckt. Kms. in March 2010. From 1997 to 2010, the
network had grown by almost 60%. The target is to take the line length to
atleast 450,000 ckt. Kms. by 2012, through additions at 220 kV and above
voltages. The inter-regional transmission capacity increased from 5,050 MW at
the end of the Ninth Plan to 14,100 MW at the end of the Tenth Plan and further
to 20,750 MW by March 2011. The inter-regional transmission capacity targets to
be achieved by the end of the Eleventh Plan have been revised downwards to
32,650 MW from the earlier 37,700 MW. The Central Electricity Authority
anticipates that inter-regional transmission capacity would be 57,000 MW by
2015 and 75,000 MW by the end of the Twelfth Five Year Plan.
Transmission projects continue to be accorded high priority in the
context of the need to evacuate power from generating stations to load centres,
system strengthening and creation of a synchronized National Grid. The New Grid
with only Southern Grid remaining to be integrated is one of the largest
synchronously connected grids in the world. Central Electricity Regulatory
Commission has notified new Indian Electricity Grid Code (lEGC) effective from
3rd May, 2010. The New IEGC will facilitate larger integration of renewable
energy sources with the grid and bring stricter grid discipline.
The country’s transmission segment has been undergoing radical changes in
the last couple of years. In future, Inter State Transmission System (ISTS)
schemes would be built through competitive bidding and many private sector
entities would own and operate ISTS elements. Already a number of ISTS schemes
owned by private sector or Joint Venture between private sector and Power Grid
Corporation of India Limited (PGCIL) are under construction. National
Electricity Policy stipulates the implementation of a national transmission
tariff framework which is sensitive to distance, direction and related to
quantum of flow. The new framework facilitates cost effective transmission of
power across the regions. The CERC’s recently announced transmission pricing
regulations mark a paradigm shift from the earlier ‘postage stamp’ mechanism. The
process facilitates integration of electricity markets and enhances open access
and competition by removing the need for pan-caking of transmission charges.
The distinction between generation and demand customers would provide siting
signals to the users, through accurate transmission charges.
The organizational structure of the transmission segment has also
changed significantly which had become inevitable to ensure fair access to the
network to all grid entities. At the central level, Power System Operation
Corporation Ltd (POSOCO) was formed to handle the power management function of
PGCIL. It is responsible through National Load Dispatch Centre and Regional
Load Dispatch Centre to ensure the integrated operation of the grid in a
reliable, efficient and secure manner. Meanwhile, a modest beginning has been
made in the separation of the state load dispatch centers (SLDCs) from state
transmission utilities (STUs) with separation of their accounts in several
states.
The central transmission utility (CTU) - Power Grid Corporation of India
Limited- has begun work on introducing ultra high voltage technologies and has
initiated a few pilot projects to implement smart grid technologies. This has
become important not only to accommodate the huge intermittent renewable energy
that is expected to be added in the coming years, but also to ensure more
efficient power transmission from generation centers to demand centers and for
facilitating power trading.
DISTRIBUTION
SCENARIO
Power distribution is the final and most crucial link in the power
sector value chain and unfortunately, the weakest one in the country. For quite
some time, this segment has been struggling with persistently high systemic
losses of about 27% to 30%. The sector currently suffers from huge losses
arising from technical as well as non-technical factors. It is also plagued by
power thefts, technical problems, corruption, dilapidated networks, inadequate
metering, poor recovery of dues, lack of consumer orientation and poor
operational and financial management.
A comprehensive report prepared by the Forum of Regulators (FoR), titled
‘Assessment of Financial Viability of Discoms’, November 2010, has revealed
that the financial viability of state distribution utilities (Discoms) is
increasingly becoming a matter of concern. In several states, book losses of
the utilities are rising, power purchase costs are increasing, rates are not
being rationalised, subsidies are not released regularly to distribution
utilities and reduction in transmission and distribution (T&D) losses
according to the assigned trajectory is not being complied with.
Though the distribution sector still remains the weak link in the value
chain, government programmes such as the Restructured Accelerated Power
Development and Reforms Programme (R-APDRP) and Rajiv Gandhi Grameen
Vidyutikaran Yojana (RGGVY) have provided the much needed impetus.
Implementation of open access at the distribution level still remains difficult
to achieve with states using Section 11 of the Electricity Act, 2003 to deny
the open access.
The state utilities, which are the major suppliers of electricity to
consumers, own almost 85% distribution infrastructure in the country. Private
ownership of distribution is limited to the states of Orissa and
The estimated total distribution line length is 7.3 million ckt kms as
of FY 2009-10 for voltage levels of 33kV and below. The distribution network
caters to 173 million consumers with total energy consumption at 531,482 MUs
during FY 2009-10.

The State Electricity Regulatory Commissions facilitate optimal cost of
power through a prescription of measures for reducing AT&C losses, demand
side management (DSM) and increasing operational efficiency. The impact of
implementing key DSM measures such as ToD tariffs has been seen in states such
as Andhra Pradesh where significant achievements have been made in stabilizing
the load curve of utilities
RENEWABLE ENERGY
The issue of climate change has garnered significant concern in the
recent years. Power generation from fossil fuels has been unanimously accepted
as the single largest emitter of Green House Gases (GHGs). In this regard,
there has been tremendous interest in putting up renewable power projects. The
renewable capacity has gone up to 18,454 MW in March 2011 from 15,521 MW in
March 2010, an increase of 19%.

Further, the potential of renewable energy is also subject to upward
revision as a result of better technologies and following the forward looking
steps taken by the Government of India.
A positive trend has been an increase in the share of renewable energy
with greater policy support such as Renewable Purchase Obligation, Preferential
Tariff, Renewable Energy Certificates, Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission
and Generation based incentives. The National Action Plan on Climate Change has
targeted 25,000 MW of renewable based installed capacity by 2012.
With an imminent scarcity of conventional fuels, various demand segments
have emerged for renewable energy. These include telecom towers, billboards and
major service sector enterprises such as hotels, data centres, business process
outsourcing units, etc. all of whom largely draw upon diesel-based generation
as backup power. Also important is the demand created from energy efficiency initiatives
in commercial buildings, where renewable options have a strong case.
POWER TRADING
Of the total quantum of power generated in
Demand of power was high in FY 2009-10, mainly due to drought conditions
and general elections, which ultimately resulted in higher short term power prices.
While in 2010-11, despite Commonwealth Games in
Currently, the two exchanges viz. Indian Energy Exchange Limited (IEX)
and Power Exchange of India Limited (PXIL) have more than 400 participants and
enjoy widespread participation by the state utilities owing to easy and
efficient electronic access. A third power exchange by NTPC Limited along with
NHPC Limited, Power Finance Corporation Limited and Tata Consultancy Services
Limited named as the National Power Exchange (NPEX) is in the offing.
RISKS AND CONCERNS
The power sector continues to be haunted by many issues despite all the
positive approaches made in the sector.
The perennial issue of power deficit continues to hover over the sector
due to under-achievement of capacity addition plans in the past. The sector has
also been grappling with shortage of fuel. The supply of both coal and natural
gas has failed to match the growing demand. The heavy dependence on coal in the
fuel mix and the shortage of domestic coal present its own set of problems for
power producers. Lack of infrastructural development and other regulatory
issues act as constraints for uninterrupted fuel supply. Equipment supply has
been among the most frequent causes of failure in achieving timely capacity
additions and other factors like availability of contractors, skilled workers
and infrastructural facilities delay the project implementation. Lack of
coordination among various government departments constrains and delays the
acquisition of scarce land, requisite environmental clearance, water
availability and other clearances. Inadequate transmission network leads to
delay in commissioning of generation projects as proper evacuation facilities
are not in place in time.
Fiscal performance of the state transmission companies continues to be
poor. The rising loss levels could deter the states from undertaking huge
investments required in the sector for augmentation and strengthening of the
transmission system independently. Both public and private transmission project
developers are facing procedural delays in land acquisition, obtaining right of
way (ROW), environmental and related statutory clearances and equipment
deployment, use and repair, particularly in the hostile terrains.
High Aggregate Transmission and Commercial losses constitute the major
impediment for the distribution sector. The huge aggregate losses of the state
utilities limit their ability to make investments to upgrade distribution
systems and introduce new practices.
FUTURE OUTLOOK AND
OPPORTUNITIES
Despite recent international economic turmoil, the Indian economic
forecast remains robust and growth is likely to remain around 9% or higher in
the coming years. It is estimated that this will require an installed capacity
base of atleast 780 GW by 2031-32, which will create fresh opportunities for
investments.
New opportunities would also be available in the transmission and
distribution sector once privatization of distribution gathers further
momentum. The Government has already invited competitive bids from private
participants for certain EHV lines for commensurate development of the
transmission sector in tandem with generation. The recent guideline of
competitive bidding being compulsory from 5th January, 2011, has opened up new
opportunities for the private sector. The franchisee model in distribution
provides vast opportunities for public private partnership (PPP).
It has been established beyond doubt that in order to ensure rapid
progress of any sector, it is imperative to provide a level playing field to
the private sector. A healthy public private partnership can bring about the
desired changes in every sector. With the liberalization of the power sector
and introduction of the Electricity Act, 2003 coupled with the announcement of
progressive reforms, there is an increased participation from the private
sector. Involvement of private sector not only reduces funding constraints, but
also has other advantages like improvement in competitiveness of the projects
and more efficient project execution with latest technology.
REVIEW OF
COMPANY’S BUSINESS
The Company is an integrated utility having interests in power generation,
transmission and distribution.
Generation
SUGEN Mega Power
Plant near Surat
Out of its total capacity of 1147.5 MW, the power plant caters to the
power needs of Ahmedabad, Gandhinagar and
AMGEN Power Plant
at Ahmedabad
During the year from its 500 MW capacity, the Company achieved PAF of
92.98% (Previous Year- 95.81%) and PLF of 82.53% (Previous Year - 93.44%) and
dispatched 3,327 MUs. The PLF is lower on account of shutdown, application of
merit order dispatch route, etc.
Distribution
Ahmedabad and
The sales were higher at 8,527 MUs as against 8,045 MUs during the
previous year, registering a reasonable growth of 6%. The T&D losses were
reduced marginally to 7.23% from 7.62% during the previous year and is one of
the lowest in the country. The consumer base for both the areas as on 31st
March, 2011 was 2.087 millions (Previous
Year – 2.014 millions). The overall peak system demand for these distribution
areas during FY 2010-11 was 1,646 MW, which increased by 9.51% as against 1,503
MW in the Previous Year.
The Electricity Act, 2003 requires the state electricity regulatory
commission to specify terms and conditions for determination of tariff, which
shall include Multi Year Tariff principles and other principles that reward
efficiency in performance. Accordingly, the Hon’ble Gujarat Electricity
Regulatory Commission has notified Multi Year Tariff Regulations for the second
control period of FY 2011-12 to FY 2015-16. The Company has filed necessary
petition for determination of Annual Revenue Requirement for the second control
period of FY 2011-12 to 2015-16 and tariff for FY 2011-12.

FUTURE GROWTH
PLANS
Upcoming Projects
The Company is geared to expand its capacities through various upcoming
projects which are as follows:-
v
LALPUR WIND
PROJECT
The Company has forayed into the thrust area of renewable energy by
conceptualizing the 44 MW wind power generation project. It has signed an
Agreement with Enercon (
v
UNOSUGEN
The Company is developing its brown field project, the 382.5 MW gas
based combined cycle power plant adjacent to the existing SUGEN plant, for
which the EPC Contract has been awarded to Siemens. The project has received
MEGA Power Project status from the Ministry of Power, environmental clearance
from MoEF and connectivity approval from Central Transmission Utility. 36% of
the EPC work has been completed and efforts are being made to commission the
project before its scheduled date. This project is expected to meet 278 MW
additional demand of Ahmedabad and
v
UP SANDILA
The Company has signed a MoU with the Government of Uttar Pradesh for
development of 1,320 MW Coal Based Power Plant at Sandila, Dist. Hardoi, Uttar
Pradesh which is in its initial stage of development.
FINANCE
The Company has executed Loan Facility Agreements for Rs 1,283 Crores
for UNOSUGEN project with KfW-Germany, Infrastructure Development Finance
Company Limited, State Bank of
RISKS AND CONCERNS
OF THE COMPANY
The infrastructure sector and in particular the power sector is prone to
multiple potential risks including Legal Risks (tariff regulation,
environmental regulation and statutory changes), Fuel Risks (availability and
pricing), Consumer Risks (revenue realization, transmission risks), Asset Risks
(natural calamity etc.), Human Resource Risks and IT Risks. Continuous
endeavors are being made to evolve appropriate measures for mitigating these
risks including through insurance to the extent possible.
Though the Company’s regulated distribution business has put in all the
efforts for efficiently carrying out its operations, it is not getting due
recognition and incentives for its most efficient operations, rather such
efficiency has continuously become its hurdle rate. The situation of 1% to 2%
tariff increase after no tariff increase for a long period of 7 years is not
encouraging. The MYT Regulations for the second control period have not
incentivised the power distribution utilities sufficiently for better
performance. Inadequate tariff would affect the future CAPEX spending which in
turn will impact the quality, safety and reliability of Regulated Distribution.
Also, the Company has been extremely positive in its HR areas including through
comprehensive performance based rewards which cannot be sustained in the long
run if the profits are impaired. This would further enhance the difficulties
faced by the regulated business in attracting and retaining qualified and
experienced talent – both technical and commercial. Thus, tariff determination
remains an area of concern for the Company.
Increase in fuel prices is another major concern for the Company. The
prices of A and B Grades coal have gone up by more than 100% effective from
27th February, 2011. Also, there is an upward price movement in the case of
both domestic gas and Regassified Liquified Natural Gas.
After satisfying the long term arrangement of 835 MW to Ahmedabad and
The Company also bears the risk of adequate availability of technical
personnel, which it proposes to overcome through pro-active recruitment and
training.
INTERNAL CONTROL
SYSTEMS
The Company has an adequate system of Internal Controls aimed at
achieving efficiency in operations, optimum utilization of resources and
compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. An independent firm of
Chartered Accountants is appointed as auditors for conducting internal audit
function. Besides, the company has its own in-house audit function, which
conducts routine audit of activities. The observations and recommendations for
improvement of the business operations are reviewed by the management and are
reported to the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee comprises of only
independent directors.
SUBSIDIARIES
The Company has three subsidiary companies namely, Torrent Power Grid
Limited, Torrent Energy Limited and Torrent Pipavav Generation Limited.
A. Torrent Power Grid Limited
During the year, the third and final phase of the Project (for
evacuation of power from SUGEN power generating station) of 144.5 kms 400 kV
Double Circuit line as part of transmission infrastructure from SUGEN to Pirana
sub-station of Power Grid Corporation of India Limited with Loop in Loop out at
400 kV sub-station of the Company at Pirana has been commissioned.
The company has filed a petition for determination of tariff for the
first and second phase of the Project pursuant to the provisions of CERC (Terms
and Conditions of Tariff) Regulations, 2009.
B. Torrent Energy
Limited (DGEN)
Torrent Energy Limited is implementing the gas based DGEN Mega Power
Project at Dahej SEZ. It proposes to establish 3 units of approximately 400 MW
each for which the EPC contract has been awarded. Environmental clearance has
been received from MoEF for 2 units and the Terms of Reference for other unit
have been approved. EPC implementation is in progress. Non-EPC work has
commenced and raw water reservoir and road / drains are nearing completion.
Connectivity and Long Term Open Access for 1,200 MW has been granted by the
Central Transmission Utility. The project is expected to meet 387 MW additional
demand of Ahmedabad and
C. Torrent Pipavav
Generation Limited
Torrent Pipavav Generation Limited is setting up the 1,000+ MW
coal-based power project at Pipavav in Amreli District of Gujarat. The project
has Coal Linkage of Baitarni coal mines and will meet the balance requirement
of coal through additional domestic coal linkages / imports. Though the Hon’ble
Gujarat High Court has approved the consent settlement with the land owners,
the Company is still facing difficulties in land acquisition and efforts are
being made to resolve the issue. Terms of Reference have been cleared by MoEF
and environmental field studies have been completed.
D. Torrent Power
Bhiwandi Limited
During the year under review, the Company has divested its shareholding
from Torrent Power Bhiwandi Limited (TPBL). TPBL has, therefore, ceased to be a
subsidiary of the Company.
