Profile of Power Utilities & Non-Utilities in India 2009

The Profile of Power Utilities & Non-Utilities in India 2009 is the most comprehensive report yet on the Indian Power sector. In two volumes and over 700 pages the report provides exhaustive coverage on every aspect of the power eco-system in India. The report while detailing hitherto hard to come by information nevertheless does so in an easily accessible and multi-colour format. Besides explaining various facets of the power sector, the report consists of numerous charts, diagrams and tables providing the latest available information on the sector as a whole, with special attention given to individual companies and even specific power stations. Indeed, previous editions of the report have been critically acclaimed for providing such a sheer range of information in a fully referenced, accurate and user-friendly format.

Besides the usual sections, this year’s edition consists of the most detailed look yet at Ultra Mega Power Projects, Power Trading in India, Equipment Supply Position, Renewable Energy Development, Energy Management, Information Technology Issues and the Evolution of the Policy Framework. The report is also fully updated with exclusive information on subjects such as plant heat rates, mean time between failures, auction trading, state wise progress on schemes such as the APDRP, movements in merchant power and much more. In fact, a unique aspect of this report is the fact that most of its data has been gathered from primary sources often operating at the most basic level. This report was also prepared with special emphasis on detailing the activities of the fast emerging private sector in the power business in India.

The Profile of Power Utilities & Non-Utilities in India 2009 is also noted for the fact that it goes beyond mere detailing of information and provides analysis and inputs derived from the observations of a team of experts and veteran industry watchers. The report includes projections made on the basis of existing data and the observation of key trends in each segment of the power sector.

First published in 1993, the report has seen several reprints on account of popular demand. Needless to say, each new edition is fully up to date and counter sourced to ensure accuracy of data. The report has seen wide use by a cross section of stakeholders including developers, investors, technology providers, equipment manufacturers, industrial consumers, utilities, policy makers and research organisations.

So what does this Report do for you?

  • For those looking to Enter the Sector

This report is indispensable for any player looking to enter the power sector in India as it details quite a bit about everything there is to know from an entrant’s perspective about the Indian Power sector. It provides policy analysis and details, details about the tax environment, technological profiles and trends, plant performances, equipment supply position and numerous case studies.

 

  • For Existing Players

The report is a must have compendium for existing players as it updates them about latest information on all segments of the power sector and also provides an insight into the direction being taken by policy makers.  As such it serves as an invaluable tool for corporate decision-making and provides the ‘meat’ in many an official meeting.

 

  • For Analysts

Analysts would be delighted with this report as it provides a ready reckoner for the myriad issues concerning the power sector. Sector watchers find in it a compendium of disparate information which is usually found in different locations and often not accessible when you most need it.
