All India Capacity addition was always less than BHEL’s


installed capacity

Equipment Supply to power projects 4th Dec 2009 3


Pre- Electricity Act 2003 period
BHEL’s Capacity and Loading

• Orders on BHEL remained far below BHEL’s installed


Capacity during VIII, IX Plan and initial X Plan period.

• In 90s, economy opened up with substantial incentives by


the Government to attract Foreign/ Private developers
and power equipment manufacturers - further
threatened already under-utilized domestic equipment
manufacturing capacities.

• Targets for X Plan (41,110 MW) similar to IXth Plan


(40,245 MW) – no indication of improvement in success
rate till enactment of Electricity Act 2003.

Equipment Supply to power projects 4th Dec 2009 4


Post - Electricity Act 2003 period
BHEL’s Capacity Augmentation

Various initiatives by Ministry of Power and enactment of


Electricity Act 2003 and notification of Electricity Policy
provided clearer road map for Country’s Accelerated
Capacity Addition Programme with higher confidence to
Manufacturers and suppliers.

Capacity augmentation schemes immediately taken up in


BHEL based on MOP/ CEA’s projections.

Transportation

• CEA Conclave in August 2009 has identified ‘Development of transportation


facilities, including port handling facilities for equipment and fuel’ as a key issue
• 13th Plan and beyond will have only Super-critical and ultra super-critical
thermal sets. Due to the dimensions constraint all 800 MW sets and many 660
MW set will have to be necessarily transported by road. Due to their enormous
weight road and bridges of sufficiently high strength to with-stand their weight
required.
• Advance class Gas turbines, which have to be sent in fully assembled condition
and hence, weigh very high and require road and bridges of high strength.
• Generator Stator of Sipat Project from the Russian manufacturer was held up at
highway between Mumbai and Nasik for more than 3 months as the Highway
was not fit for transportation of the Generator Stator. Such situation to be
avoided in future.
• Transportation facilities including dedicated freight corridor, port handling
capacity, facilities for equipment and fuel need to be enhanced to
commensurate with planned capacity addition.

Chinese presence in Indian Powers Sector

• Share of Chinese in Capacity addition during 11th Plan (As per the
Mid-term review of Power sector) - 20,967 MW accounting for
around 28 percent of the over-all capacity addition of 74,964 MW.
Similar trend seen in 12th plan.
• About 95% (19,833 MW out of 20,967 MW) of imports from Chinese
firms are done by private Customers
• Many concerns have been raised about the quality, performance
and the efficiency of the equipment. - CEA/ NTPC report after visit
to China in April ’09.
• Even though the initial capital cost of Chinese sets is lower,
operating cost is higher than Indian sets resulting in over-all higher
cost – CLSA report
• Concern for Energy security due to non-development of local
vendors for spares and services

DISADVANTAGES SUFFERED BY DOMESTIC MANUFACTURERS:

 Taxes/ Financing
o Sales Tax / VAT; Entry-tax / Octroi – Applicable to supplies from
domestic manufacturers only and not in case of overseas supplies
due to high-sea sales
o Higher Financing Cost due to 6 - 8% differential in Indian and
foreign interest rates

 Lack of quality infrastructure like:


o Roads and Bridges to handle Heavy consignments for Power
Plants
o Adequate facilities at the Ports
o Un-interrupted Power supply
o Transport facilities

Equipment Supply to power projects 4th Dec 2009 54


DISADVANTAGES SUFFERED BY DOMESTIC MANUFACTURERS .. contd

 Domestic manufacturers competing with foreign suppliers in India, suffer


cost disadvantage due to:
o the incentives enjoyed by the foreign competitors from their
respective Governments, as the Project is a export order for them
o Higher cost of Raw material.
o Dependence on foreign sources for Raw Material and
Components like CRGO, Castings and Forgings, Boiler grade
steel and high pressure/ temperature pipes, as they are not
available in the Country.
o Artificial control of Chinese Yuan
o Limited indigenous vendors for various other components,

Equipment Supply to power projects 4th Dec 2009 55


DISADVANTAGES SUFFERED BY DOMESTIC MANUFACTURERS .. contd

 Non-availability of skilled man-power with the sub-contractors for


specialized jobs like high pressure welding etc.

 Adequate quantity of Tools and Plants with the sub-contractors/ in the


market for hire

All the above disadvantages result in higher cost and longer time cycle for
execution of the Projects.

Concerns for Domestic Players

• In addition to BHEL, many other manufacturers like Bharat


Forge, L&T, JSW etc. are reportedly setting-up of manufacturing
facilities and acquiring technology for Power Plant Equipment,
based on the encouragement from Government.
• The additional domestic capacities thus being created involves
huge investments.
• Additional Capacity of BHEL and capacities of new
manufacturers provides adequate manufacturing capacity in the
country as well as competition to each other to offer the best
technology and products.
• Therefore, a level playing field is required to be provided to
Indian manufacturers so that the facilities being set up by them
are adequately loaded.
