INDIAN POWER SECTOR

Power is one of the prime movers of economic development. The level of availability and accessibility of affordable and quality power is also one of the main determinants of the quality of life. In India the process of electrification commenced almost with the developed world, in the 1880, with the establishment of a small hydroelectric power station in Darjeeling. However, commercial production and distribution started in 1889, in Kolkata. In the year 1947, the country had a power generating capacity of 1,362 MW. Generation and distribution of electrical power was carried out primarily by private utility companies such as Calcutta Electric. Power was available only in a few urban centers; rural areas and villages did not have electricity. After 1947, all new power generation, transmission and distribution in the rural sector and the urban centers came under the purview of State and Central government agencies. State Electricity Boards (SEBs) were formed in all the states. Legal provisions to support and regulate the sector were put in place through the Indian Electricity Act, 1910. Shortly after independence, a second Act - The Electricity (Supply) Act, 1948 was formulated, paving the way for establishing Electricity Boards in the states of the Union. In 1960s and 70s, enormous impetus was given for the expansion of distribution of electricity in rural areas. Since then, almost all new investment in power generation, transmission and distribution has been made in the public sector. Most of the private players were bought out by state electricity boards. The power Sector has been receiving adequate priority ever since the process of planned development began in 1950. The Power Sector has been getting 18-20% of the total Public Sector outlay in initial plan periods. Remarkable growth and progress have led to extensive use of electricity in all the sectors of economy in the successive five years plans. Over the years the installed capacity of Power Plants has increased to 100,000 MW on March, 2000 from meagre 1362mw in 1947. Similarly, the electricity generation increased from about 5.1 billion units to 420 Billion units. The per capita consumption of electricity in the country also increased from 15 kWh in 1950 to about 338 kWh in 1997-98, which is about 23 times. In the field of Rural Electrification country has made a tremendous progress. About 85% of the villages have been electrified except far-flung areas in North Eastern states, where it is difficult to extend the grid supply. And now India has become sixth largest producer and consumer of electricity in the world equaling the capacities of UK and France combined. The number of consumers connected to the Indian power grid exceeds is 75 million. However, the achievements of India's power sector growth looks phony on the face of huge gaps in supply and demand on one side and antediluvian generation and distribution system on the verge of collapse having plagued by inefficiencies, mismanagement, political interference and corruption for decades, on the other. Indian power sector is at the cross road today. A paradigm shift is in escapable- for better or may be for worse.

SWOT ANALYSIS OF INDIAN POWER SECTOR:

Strength:

Developing Economy: -After Liberalization, Privatization & Globalization Indian Economy goes up. The GDP rate is also very high. For the continuation of the system and developing the system huge power is needed. But presently power scenario is 1, 48,265.41 M.W. So coup up with that, Economic development Power sector is need. Government Decisions: - India Government also directly and indirectly help Power sector.
The recent price increases, Tax benefits, subsidies on LPG etc provided to the power sector .

Weakness:

Crude prices: - For running Gas based Thermal Power plant, they gets gas from various companies like ONGC, Reliance Petroleum Ltd etc. But this company brings crude foreign. In India nearly 70% of crude requirements are fulfilled by imports and this figure is likely to increase going forward. Crude prices have breached the $45 barrier again and are likely to remain at around $40 per barrel range. This is the main Problem for Power sector. Lack of freedom: - Although the government has decided to provide autonomy to power sector companies to increase power potential in the country, though continue to remain under the government controlled price mechanism. For that the power company do not gets any freedom in this sector. Natural Gas: - Natural gas has the potential to be the fuel of the future with demand outpacing supply by more than two times. Such high scarcity of natural gas provides a big opportunity for oil companies. The below mentioned table indicates the allocation to the various core sectors and the shortage faced by them, thereby giving an idea of the potential for growth. Competition: - Now days Public as well as Private sector also come in the power sector. By this the power company faces a huge competition. For that general production process gets hampered. Continuing government interference: - For developing any power project state and central government create many hazardous situations. For planning, procurement, and process government create various norms and rules. For this process become hampered.

Opportunity:

Threats :

For running any business money is necessary, without that any operation cannot be going. So we can say for any kind of business finance can be treated as life blood of the business. For in Power sector finance i.e. is a very important thing. As we know India is the 3 rd biggest power generated country among ASIA but till now a days power supply is under crisis. In every year India face a huge deficit in demand - Supply of Power. Till now there are many villages that are to be electrified. For that we need more power generation station. It can be Thermal Power; can be Hydro Power and Nuclear Power. As par new police of Government of India Public as well as Private both the sector can be setup their power station.

Under public sector some main organization are:-

National Thermal power corporation Ltd. (NTPC Ltd.)

National Hydroelectric Power Corporation Ltd. (NHPC Ltd.)

There are some organizations which are established under private sector. Like

Reliance Power

Tata Power

Jaypee hydro

etc.

Apart from these two there are some organizations which are established under public-private collaboration, like:-

Satluj Jal Vidyut Nigam Ltd.

Tehri Hydro Development Co. Ltd. Apart from this organization there are some organizations which are help to supply the power in all over the country. This are

Asian Development Bank

The ADB is the leading promoter of energy privatization in Asia and the Pacific. Through energy sector reform programs, the ADB requires countries to privatize state-owned electricity utilities and promote foreign investment in energy generation, transmission and distribution. The ADB believes that private sector participation in the energy sector will relieve governments' debt burdens and allow scarce resources to be allocated to social sectors such as health and education. Yet in India, the ADB's advice has led to escalating energy costs for consumers, increased debt burdens for the government, and increasing windfalls for the private sector. In the energy sector, multinational corporations are the only ones that seem to benefit from the ADB's advice. While the IMF and World Bank try to promote Power G,T,& D under government sector , the ADB has tended to focus privatization in the energy sectors The ADB has promoted energy sector reform in countries like India, Pakistan and Tajikistan, etc . ADB's advice is encouraging private companies to invest in and construct power plants. They have argued that involving the private sector run in better way and the organization get benefits at little risk. In order to attract private capital, ADB suggest governments have signed agreements with independent power producers (IPPs) in which economic risks and responsibility are unevenly borne by governments. In some cases, governments have signed contracts that guarantee payment even if there is no demand for electricity. In effect, economic risk has been transferred to the consumers who are forced to subsidize private investment through levies, taxes, price increases and debt repayments. The private sector, in these cases, has received a disproportionate share of profits and privileges. In India, the ADB's promote the energy sector reform by subsidize tariff for poor citizens and to farmers in Madhya Pradesh. To fulfill the loss of ADB-funded $250 million in power sector in India. In October 2000, the ADB approved another loan of $250 million for the establishment of a national grid for interstate power transmission and extended a partial credit guarantee for raising another $120 million from commercial banks. The ADB's support of Power grid, the state company overseeing the unification of the national grid, is part of a move to encourage private sector involvement in the power sector. ADB also provide a policy loan of US$150 million and an investment loan of US$200 million to support a sector development program for the first phase of reforms. In November 2005 Asian Development Bank (ADB) financing $400 million upgrading of Indias national power transmission grid. For that ADB provided loan to Power Grid Corporation of India for expand the capacity of the national transmission grid. ADB support to POWERGRID establishing a national grid.ADB also helps Indian government achieve its objective of providing 100% electrification by 2012. The loan carries a 20-year term, including a grace period of five years. Interest is based on ADBs LIBOR-based lending facility. The project is expected to be completed by June 2009. Apart from Grid development ADB gives loan for Gujarat power reforms. Asian Development Bank, as per the request of the Central Government, has agreed to give $350 million to
EIILM Page 37

Gujarat government. The Government has to give interest @ 7-8 on ADBs LIBOR-based lending facility. Out of that money Gujarat Government spent $150 million for reorganizing the Generation and $ 200 million for modernization of transmission and distribution equipment in the State power sector. For boosting up in the power sector in North East India ADB provide loan $1,400 million for development projects. For that purpose ADB also give two phases loan $300 million will be given in 2006 and the second $200 million in 2008 for development of total infrastructure like Road, Urban area for helping to development of that project. ADB also gives assistance to PFC Clears Rs 750 by giving Loan to them. For by this loan PFC can helps Indias power sector reform. To reform PFC gives loan to the state electricity boards which are undergoing restructuring. The loan will have a maturity period of 20 years including a grace period of five years on ADBs LIBOR-based lending facility. Though ADB gives his helping hand but some people things this will harm in the power sector. According to Mr.K.R. Unnithan General Secretary, Kerala state Electricity Board Officers Association "Government's willingness to tow the ADB line. The ADB's plan was to transform the power supply service in the State into a highly profitable commercial activity .They also try to make SEB into a companies. These companies would then be privatized and, gradually, the sector would be freed of the controls of the Regulatory Commission too. Ultimately, electricity supply would be totally at the mercy of the market forces. He also said that Government, for the sake of a Rs. 3,000crore loan, was mortgaging the hard-earned right of the citizens to be the masters of their own destiny. The interest on this loan was to be returned in dollars. The effective interest rate, therefore, would be very high since the rupee-dollar exchange rates were constantly changing to the disadvantage of the rupee. So in a nutshell we can say ABD is a good source for rising fund in the power sector. But in the present situation its may be a problem to rising any fund due to political hazard. So we should twice before raising fund for ADB.

WORLD BANK

The World Bank has been associated with the Indian power sector for several decades. The Bank not only provided fund for the project, but also provided technical assistance for the developing a project. The Bank has main two institutes by which they can provide fund for any project. These are

The International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD) The International Finance corporation (IFC)

Over the few years the maximum fund (around 60%) for power transmission sector is given by World Bank. But now a days World Bank giving fund for restructuring on the hydro and renewal energy sector. According to a senior energy specialist of World Bank The World Bank maximum funding for power project has been in the Transmission segment (Power Grid Corporation).It also provided several SEB for restructuring their power sectors. According to World Bank the biggest beneficiary of the fund provided by them in India is Power Grid Corporation. In October, 2008 the bank approved $400 million loan to the company for 30 years including 4 years grace period .Prior to that in 2003 World Bank (IFC) provided $75 million loan to Tata Transmission Line Ltd the 1st ever private transmission project in India.

EQUITY FUND
Apart from debt financing Power Company gets finance Equity financing also. Like NTPC, NHPC, Reliance Power get fund from selling Equity. In the power sector, the return on equity is fixed at 15.5% on 30% of the equity investment. The sources of equity are promoters equity, internal accruals, equity funds and strategic equity investors. Raising funds from capital markets is also becoming increasingly popular. The following are some of the sources of equity available to power project developers:

Promoters Equity and Internal Accruals: - Most project developers invest some amount of the total project cost as promoters equity to be able to earn the minimum return on equity and raise the required debt. Many CPSUs, including National Thermal Power Corporation (NTPC) are increasingly relying on internal accruals for investing equity in new projects. Primary/Capital Markets:-In recent times, power sector companies have been raising funds from primary markets through Initial Public Offerings (IPOs). Almost all IPOs of power companies in the last two to three years have met with an overwhelming response from investors or have been performing well in the stock markets. Some of the successful IPOs have been those
Page 46

EIILM

of CPSUs like NTPC, and NHPC, private developers like TATA POWER, JP Hydro and Reliance Power. Many power companies are expected to launch their IPOs in the coming years. NTPC is also planning to come out with a follow-on public offer. Qualified Institutional Placements: - Another source of equity, which is increasingly being tapped by power sector companies, is private placement with qualified institutional investors. For instance, GVK Power & Infrastructure Limited (GVKIL) and Kalpataru Power Transmission raised USD 300 million and USD 85 million respectively through this route in May 2007 and September 2006 respectively. PTC India also rose around USD 29 million through this route in January 2008 by allotting shares to institutional buyers like LIC and Morgan Stanley, among others. Equity Funds:- Specialized equity funds such as India Development Fund by Infrastructure Development Finance Company (IDFC) have been set up to invest in equity in private sector power sectors. The India Power Fund by PFC which was expected to be launched in 2004 is however, yet to start operations. India Infrastructure Finance Company Limited (IIFCL), Citigroup, Blackstone have also instituted a USD 5 billion India infrastructure financing initiative for investing in infrastructure projects. PTC Indias investment arm PTC Financial Services also plans to pick up equity in power projects through an Energy Equity Fund.

MUTUAL FUND
One of the major ways of raising the fund in the power sector is Mutual Fund .Mutual funds constantly come out with different schemes. . Infrastructure funds are part of a mutual fund category called thematic funds. While sector specific funds invest in particular sectors like information technology, power, oil and gas, etc, thematic funds invests in themes like infrastructure, consumption-led categories like the retail industry and outsourcing companies. Today, there is a huge buzz about the Great Indian Gold Rush and its three themes Infrastructure, Consumption, Outsourcing

Of these three, Infrastructure funds have caught the fancy of a lot of mutual funds; many new funds have been launched in this category in the last couple of years. Now a days various financial companies like ICICI Prudential Mutual Fund, Birla Sun life Mutual Fund, Tata Mutual Fund, UTI, and Reliance Mutual Fund comes to this sector. These companies are raising fund from market and invest in this sector. These companies basically issue an
EIILM Page 47

open-ended equity funds; this means you can invest in them whenever you like. Mutual fund companies are also trying to enhance the sources of fund in Infrastructure as well as power sector. Some funds have concentrated holdings this means they have invested in a fewer number of stocks, but have put more money in each stock than the others. For example Prudential's infrastructure fund is the most concentrated with as few as 34 stocks. Tata Mutual Fund in this order, are the most diversified and have more number of stocks. The common stocks that most of these infrastructure funds have invested in are Reliance, BHEL, NTPC and Power Grid, etc. some time these mutual fund companies are also given fund to various Financial Institute .As an example IDFC Mutual fund raised fund from market for Infrastructure Development Finance Company, by this the mutual fund company helps for raising fund in the Indian infrastructure sector. This Fund are generally apply in the stock market, but some companies like Reliance Mutual Fund, Birla Sun life Mutual Fund ,TATA Mutual Fund etc also Invest in the Derivative market ,i.e. Future Market, Forward Market and Option Market.

RATIO ANALYSIS
Financial ratio analysis can reveal much about a company and its operations. However, there are several points to keep in mind about ratios. First, a ratio is a "flag" indicating areas of strength or weakness. One or even several ratios might be misleading, but when combined with other knowledge of a company's management and economic circumstances, financial analysis can tell much about a corporation. Second, there is no single correct value for a ratio. The observation that the value of a particular ratio is too high, too low, or just right depends on the perspective of the analyst and on the company's competitive strategy. Third, financial ratios are meaningful only when compared with some standard, such as an industry trend, ratio trend, a trend for the specific company being analyzed, or a stated management objective. Key Ratios Debt-to-equity ratio: A debt-to-equity ratio, which is the total debt of an entity divided by the total equity of that entity, is a measure of the use of leverage or a measure of risk. Leverage is the use of other people's money to make money. The greater an entity's debt-to-equity ratio, the greater is the opportunity for high returns for that entity. The debt-to-equity ratio is also a measure of risk since the more debt that is used, the greater the risk that the entity might be forced to liquidate and go out of business.

EIILM

Page 50

Long Term Debt-to-equity Ratio: It is a capitalization ratio comparing long-term debt to shareholders' equity. Its a measure of a company's financial leverage calculated by dividing its total liabilities by stockholders' equity. It indicates what proportion of equity and debt the company is using to finance its assets. Sometimes only interest-bearing, long-term debt is used instead of total liabilities in the calculation. It is also known as the Personal Debt/Equity Ratio, this ratio can be applied to personal financial statements as well as companies. A high debt/equity ratio generally means that a company has been aggressive in financing its growth with debt.

Current Ratio: An indication of a company's ability to meet short-term debt obligations; the higher the ratio, the more liquid. Current ratio is equal to current assets divided by current liabilities. If the current assets of a company are more than twice the current liabilities, then that company is generally considered to have good short-term financial strength. If current liabilities exceed current assets, then the company may have problems meeting its short-term obligations. Turnover Ratios: Interest Cover Ratio: It is a ratio used to determine how easily a company can pay interest on outstanding debt. The interest coverage ratio is calculated by dividing a company's earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) of one period by the company's interest expenses of the same period. The lower the ratio, the more the company is burdened by debt expense. When a company's interest coverage ratio is 1.5 or lower, its ability to meet interest expenses may be questionable. An interest coverage ratio below 1 indicates the company is not generating sufficient revenues to satisfy interest expenses. Fixed Asset Turnover:

EIILM

Page 51

A long-term, tangible asset is held for business use and not expected to be converted to cash in the current or upcoming fiscal year, such as manufacturing equipment, real estate, and furniture. A high fixed asset turnover is preferred since it indicates a better efficiency in fixed assets utilization. Inventory turnover: Its a ratio showing how many times a company's inventory is sold and replaced over a period. This ratio measures the stock in relation to turnover in order to determine how often the stock turns over in the business. It indicates the efficiency of the firm in selling its product. Possessing a high amount of inventory for long periods of time is not usually good for a business because of inventory storage and obsolescence costs.

Debtors Turnover Ratio: Indicates the relation between net credit sales and average accounts receivables of the years. Its also known as debtors velocity. This ratio indicates the efficiency of the concern to collect the amount due from debtors. It determines the efficiency with which the trade debtors are managed. Higher the ratio, better it is as it proves that the debts are being collected very quickly. ROCE: Return on Capital Employed (ROCE) is used in finance as a measure of the returns that a company is realizing from its capital employed. It is commonly used as a measure for comparing the performance between businesses and for assessing whether a business generates enough returns to pay for its cost of capital. RONW: Return on Net Worth is the ratio of net income after taxes to total net worth at the end of the year. This ratio indicates the return on stockholder's total equity. Also known as Return on equity which

measures a corporation's profitability by revealing how much profit a company generates with the money shareholders have invested.

RATIO ANALYSIS OF INDUSTRY Though the value of debt to equity ratio depends on overall financial situation, goals, employment security, risk aversion, tax implications, etc., the value of debt to equity ratio in Indian power industry is 0.75 which shows that there is 75 paisa debt for every 1 rupee of share holders funds which is not a very high value and firms are moderately strong to meet the repayment requirements. The long term debt equity ratio (0.73) is nearly equal to the debt- equity ratio which shows that the companies of this sector are able to fulfill its long term repayment requirements as efficiently as other liabilities and the business is not at high risk. In case of current ratio the rule of thumb says that the current ratio should be at least 2, but in power industry the current ratio of 1.59 shows that it is less than required value, thus it is seen that this industry should increase current assets and should control the current liabilities. In the power industry the value of inventory turnover ratio of 14.2 can also be said in the form of 365/14.2 = 25.7
EIILM Page 53

days. The ratio shows a relatively high stock turnover which would seem to suggest that the business deals in the field which require fast moving of its product i.e. electricity. Generally, the higher the firms total asset turnover, the more efficiently its assets have been utilised. Always high fixed assets turnovers are preferred since they indicate a better efficiency in fixed assets utilization. In case of Indian power industry a very low value (0.47) of fixed asset turnover shows that the fixed assets of the industry have not been utilized efficiently. The value of interest cover ratio is 2.96 is very impressive in Indian power sector. It shows that the firms in the industry are strong enough to pay the interest expenses timely. The value of Return on capital employed (8.79) is not very good return but with the high value of interest cover ratio and slightly lower value of debt to equity ratio in the industry the return on capital is in the moderately good condition.

RATIO ANALYSIS OF THE INDIVIDUAL COMPANIES

NTPC Limited In NTPC the debt-equity ratio has not changed since 2004 as the values the change is only 0.01 during 2004 to 2006 and the change is 0.07 during next two years. This shows the lower level of financial leverage which is not a good sign for the company. However companys profitability determines the debt equity ratio yet the high profitability of the company do not suggest such a lower value of debt equity ratio. Current ratio of the company is showing U-shape trend during 2004 to 2008 and like previous days company has again reached to good liquidity position. The fixed asset turnover ratio has shown 50% growth in last 5 years but it is still low and company should maximize its asset utilization. A high debtor turnover ratio is showing the good debt collection ability of company. Interest cover ratio

As it is known that shareholders expectations are quite higher than the interest on debt. The return on capital employed and return on net worth are good in NTPC but it is not increasing; we can see slight decrease in the return.

Reliance Energy Limited After increasing continuously the debt equity ratio of Reliance Energy has slipped between 2006 and 2008 and it is also very low, thus it suggests that with the two digit rate of return on net worth company can think to raise the finance, so that by starting new projects profitability can be improved. Current ratio is satisfactory for the company and it has good ability to meet current liabilities. Ratio Analysis of Reliance Energy ITEM

Interest cover ratio and debtor turnover ratio are going down which is not good sign for the company and it is showing companys falling ability to meet the interest expenses and collecting the receivables from debtors. The profitability is satisfactory which can be seen in PBIDT and RONW of the company.

TATA Power Company Limited The profitability of TATA Power is going down which can be seen by PBIDT%, ROCE and

RONW. However the debt to equity ratio of the company is very low but with the decreasing rate of return it cannot think for debt to increase the ratio. Inventory turnover ratio and the debtor turnover ratio have not changed significantly and they are showing stability of the firm. The decreasing current ratio is not a good signal for suppliers and creditors of the company, but at the same time companys lenders can see the positive thing in the form of increasing interest cover ratio. The return of the company is not very high but with the sales turnover ratio size, company comes into top 5 companies of power sector in India.

The fixed assets of the company are not being utilized efficiently so there is scope for the company for enjoying the operational leverage and the profitability can be improved.

Power Grid Corporation of India Limited

EIILM Page 57

In Power Grid Corp. the debt to equity ratio is higher than that of NTPC but it is still not very good. The company can take advantage of financial leverage as its profitability is very high. However the return on capital employed and return on net worth are not good as compared to NTPC. The decreasing current ratio during the last 5 years is showing increasing current liabilities of the company which in turn has lowered companys liquidity.

In Power Grid we can observe very low fixed asset turnover ratio which tells the under utilization of companys fixed assets. The increasing Interest cover ratio is showing companys increasing capability of paying the interest which is a good sign for companys future financing ability in the financial market. A high debtor turnover ratio is showing the good debt collection ability of company.

Jaiprakash Hydro-Power Limited Looking at the good profit % and good rate of return (RONW and ROCE) we can say that company should take advantage of financial leverage and should improve its capital structure balance
EIILM Page 58

in the form of debt and equity. As the companys debt to equity ratio is going down it can be said that the overall cost of capital is increasing in the form of dividends and other expectations of shareholders.

Interest cover ratio has grown and reached to a satisfactory level providing good signal to the lenders. Fixed assets of the company are under utilized as the fixed asset turnover ratio is very low. Debtors turnover ratio is coming down which is an alarming situation for the company to recover the debts given outside. Profit is however showing rosy picture but return is not growing in accordance with it which shows companys lesser ability to retain the earnings.

Energy Development Company Limited Debt to equity ratio of the company is going continuously down even after the increase in the return and profitability (except 2008). Thus the company should improve the balance of the capital structure and should enjoy the financial leverage. Exactly same trend can be seen in the long term debt to equity ratio of the company between 2004 and 2008. Sharply falling current ratio is a

Looking at fixed asset turnover ratio we can say that the company has increased the utilization of fixed assets due to which it has become able to increase the rate of return (ROCE and RONW). In 2008 companys profit % has gone down significantly but returns has been increased and inventory turnover has boosted which shows the firms ability to sell effectively and retain the earnings.

KSK Energy Ventures Limited The ratio analysis of the company showing that company is facing a very tough time now and not a single indicator is providing satisfactory picture of the financial health of the company. Debt equity ratio is going down because return on investment is going down and also the profit 5 is going down. Long term debt to equity ratio is also showing similar trend to the debt to equity ratio. Significant downward movement of the current ratio is showing companys decreasing ability to meet current liabilities. Even after efficiently utilizing the fixed assets company is not able to increase the earnings

Rather than using financial leverage and operational leverage company should improve debtor turnover ratio and inventory turnover ratio. So the financial health of the company can be improved. Also we can see that no lender will allow debt to this firm easily because the interest cover ratio has come down significantly.

Indowind Energy Pvt.Limited Indowind Energy has been able to increase its profitability during last 5 years but this company comes in bottom 5 companies due to its sales turnover size. Company is continuously increasing the value of debt to equity ratio by increasing the debts and enjoying the financial leverage but its value is still very low which shows the future scope of increasing the debt.

The debt to equity ratio in the industry is 0.75 which is a moderately good value and can be taken as a base to analyze different companies within the industry. As in case of NTPC (0.50),
EIILM Page 62

Reliance Energy (0.58) and TATA Power (0.47) the value of debt to equity ratio is low, showing a very low risk of business and an opportunity of financial leverage. The only thing to be considered is that this excess equity is assumed as an interest bearing debt by Central Electricity Regulatory Commission, thus bringing down the effective ROE. In case of Power Grid Corp the value is more than double the industry average which shows a higher value of debt to equity ratio. Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (CERC) requires the debt-equity ratio of 2.33 for the purpose of tariff determination, whereas the current debt-equity ratio of Power Grid is 1.69 which should be improved. We can also see the similar values of long term debt to equity ratio and overall debt to equity ratio for each of the top five companies, which show that in NTPC (0.50), Reliance Energy (0.51) and TATA Power (0.43) the value of long term debt to equity ratio is low, showing a lower level of financial leverage. In case of Power Grid Corp. the value is more than double the industry average which shows a higher level of firms financial leverage. The policy of Power Grid Corp. can be beneficial to the shareholders in long run but at the same time it enhances the risk involved in the business. In case of current ratio the current assets should meet current liabilities at least twice. In NTPC (2.23) and Reliance Energy (2.41) we can see the favorable value of current ratio which shows that both the firms are strong enough to meet their current liabilities but in TATA Power (1.81) current ratio is moderately low. In case of Power Grid (0.59) the value of current ratio is very low showing that the firms are not able to handle the current liabilities efficiently. Looking at the values of fixed asset turnover we see that Reliance Energy (1.12) and TATA Power (0.93) have higher value of fixed asset turnover comparative to the industry which shows the optimality of utilization of fixed asset of these companies, in NTPC (0.72) the value is still higher than industry but not impressive. The value of fixed asset turnover is exceptionally low in case of Power Grid Corporation (0.14) which is the indication of improper utilization of companys fixed assets. Power Grid and Reliance Energy have high value of inventory turnover ratio which shows their high efficiency of selling, while NTPC and TATA Power have inventory turnover values nearly equal to the industry average (14.2) which is also good indication in selling efficiency.

EIILM

Page 63

A high interest cover ratio of companies shows higher ability to meet interest expenses. However the interest cover ratio is high in all the 4 companies, the value of this ratio in NTPC (6.33) is exceptionally high showing the strong ability of companies to meet interest expenses. The debtors turnover ratio is high in all the companies and it is exceptionally high in NTPC (17.62) which shows that debts are collected very quickly. NTPC is leading the industry because return on capital employed ROCE (15.72) and return on net worth RONW (14.36) are also very high in case of NTPC. Power Grid Corp and Reliance Energy are also showing satisfactory value of these parameters while TATA Power is showing moderately low returns as compared to industry average. among all the 4 companies. PBIDT % is highest in case of Power Grid Corp (91.41%) and the second position is held by NTPC with 38.38%

In the bottom 4 companies we can see that Indowind Energy and Jaiprakash Hydro has the debt equity ratio slightly higher than the industry average which shows that the debt is not high; however it depends on many factors like the interest rate, profitability etc. yet it is in the easily acceptable range KSK Energy has very low debt equity ratio which shows that these companies have opportunity to increase the debt to maximize the profit without affecting the debt equity ratio adversely. In case of long term debt-equity ratio we can observe that Indowind Energy and Jaiprakash Hydro have its value near to the industry standards while KSK has comparatively very low value of it. Thus we can see here the lack of financial leverage in the bottom companies of power sector. Among the bottom four companies current ratio is highest in case of Indowind Energy (5.46) showing its strong capability to meet current liabilities quickly. As the industry average (1.59) in case of current ratio is not strong enough, we can observe that Jaiprakash Hydro has the value near 2 which is favorable but others still need to increase the current ratio especially Energy Develop Co and KSK Energy. An interesting comparison can be seen in the fixed asset turnover ratio of the bottom companies. It can be clearly seen that the industry average is 0.47, Indowind Energy is equal to it, Energy Develop co is higher and Jaiprakash Hydro is lower than the industry average while KSK (11.65) has exceptionally high ratio among all bottom four companies. The inventory turnover ratio is very low in Indowind Energy and KSK Energy while its favorably high in Jaiprakash Hydro
EIILM Page 65

(53.78) as compared to the Industry average on the other hand its exceptionally high in Energy Develop Co (109.57) which shows its very high capability to replace or sell the inventory. Looking to the interest cover ratio we see that all the bottom four companies which were taken for the study have the value of it greater than 1.5 so the performance of none of these is questionable in terms of interest cover but we can see a big difference among all these. KSK Energy has marginally acceptable value (1.58), Jaiprakash Hydro and Indowind Energy are near to the industry average i.e. appreciable value. Energy Develop Co (49.84) has very high values which show their very high capability of the interest coverage. Looking to debtors turnover ratio we observe that the industry average is at 4.65, Indowind Energy, Jaiprakash Hydro and KSK Energy are not good in collecting the debt as they have very low values while the performance of Energy Develop Co is very good in this field which have high value of debtors turnover ratio. Return on capital employed is highest in Energy Develop Co (26.72%) showing a good opportunity for the stakeholders and shareholders. Jaiprakash Hydro (13.91%) is also showing good return on the capital employed. Indowind Energy and KSK Energy have lower return than industry average. A nearly similar variation can be seen in the return on net worth RONW. However the profitability is good in each of these companies as compared to the industry average of PBIDT% yet Energy Develop. Co is showing least profitability while Jaiprakash Hydro (103.17) and KSK Energy (98.62) are showing very high PBIDT% or a very high profitability. Thus it is seen that every industry has different kind of strength and weakness in the power sector. This analysis is done taking into account one parameter at a time; a complexity of analysis is obvious when we take more than one parameters at a time.

FINDINGS

Strength in the sector: - After judging all those data I can found that Indian power sector is very strength in all the aspect. There are various organizations including Private Sector, public Sector, and private-public collaboration sector are directly or indirectly related with section. According to the ratio analysis of those 8 companies, I can say that, the maximum companies have adequate fund as well as working capital in their account.

Adequate capital Availability:- Through this project I also find that there are huge of fund is

available in the market for this sector, and which can be easily obtainable. As a matter the power company can easily raised fund from the market through debt or equity capital.
High interest rate: - After judging this project I found that interest rate charging by those

lending organization is comparatively very high. The organization charge 10-13% per annum as interest on the loan amount. In some cases they charge more rate of interest even at 15% per Annam. Apart from this they also charge upfront charges and various duties from applicant.
Huge difference in sanction and Disbursement: - In this project I can found that the there is

a huge difference between total sanctioning amount and total disbursement amount. In this sector there are many company who are sanctioning there loan from a lending organization, but they did not withdrew their money from loan account. As a affect the amount of sanction to amount of disbursement is made a huge difference.

EIILM

Page 67

LIMITATION
Lack of private sector: - In this power sector private organization are very less. Maximum

organization is belonging from public sector. Though in recent days many private organization are coming but no such private organization is there for funding in this sector.
Long Process: - For getting a loan from any financial organization is a very long process. For

doing all those thing like project valuation, Project appraisal etc. take a very long time. As an example REC take more than 2 month for sanctioning of any loan.
Government Interference: - The central government is directly interfering in this sector

through rules and regulation. As a result private organization, who are penetrate into in this sector, they may be loose their interest in this area.
High rate of Taxes: - For developing any power project there are various plant are imported

from outside India. For that a huge amount of tax should be paid as a custom duty. As a result the net cost price goes up. Apart from this sales tax, Income tax rate is also very high. So that, power Sector Company has to paid a huge amount of tax to the government.
Lack of proper planning: - For develop of any project we shod need a proper planning. But

some time there is lake of planning in this sector. Like we can said Teri Hydro project has not made in proper way so it took near about 10 year to build that project. In case of DHABAL POWER Plant government of Maharashtra did not fellow a proper plan, so they face a huge loss.

EIILM

Page 68

RECOMMENDATION
TO THE GOVERNMENT Better facility- The government should try to give better facility to the power sector

company. They also try to reduce various causes for establishing a power project. Apart from central government all state government also take initiative to establish a separate organization who give more fund in this sector. As an example I can said all state government can establish a Power Finance company like Tamilnadu Power Finance Corporation. The government can also try to establish more and more SEZ for the power sector like Jamnagar Power SEZ. Development in Infrastructure: - Generally hydro power project are built up in the hilly area. So for develop the project infrastructure development of those area is needed. So for that government should try to develop that area for boost up this sector. Tax benefit: - For developing of this sector government should give more tax relief to the power company by which this power company can earn more profit. Like if a power company develop a power project on BOT basis then the company get maximum of 10 years tax holiday in BOT contract. But government should try to give more benefit to this organization, even though they should reduced the tax rate. Apart from this, government also try to cut down rate of Custom duty, Sales tax rate for attract more and more company in this sector. Open door policy: - For more fund in this sector government should try to raise more from outside of India. For that government should take open door policy by which government can raised their fund by FDI and FPI also. TO THE FINANCIAL INSTITUTION

Lower rate of Interest:- The lending company should down their rate of interest. Generally the rate of interest is lays between 11%-13%, But this rate should cut down below 10 %.Then many company can take loan from this lending company. Lower upfront charges: - Apart from interest the lending company are also charge some upfront charge like project evaluation charges, project appraisal charges for giving loan. And many times this rate goes up beyond 10%, which is a huge for a project finance or long term loan. So Financial Institution should think about this matter and take a fixed amount as upfront charges. Easy availability:-The lending company should try to give loan simple basis. In present situation PFC takes minimum 2-3 month for sanctioning a loan. But should its try to cut shout this time consuming process. Apart from that this financial institution should also try to make this process make more essayer by which this process can go faster.

More collaborate with Lead Financer: - In the project financing generally more than one lending organization come to give loan to the organization. As result there is one lead financer who gives maximum amount and other give fewer amounts for built up the project. So it can see that the lead financer charges a high rate of interest on the loan given than the co financer. As a result the difference between the interest rate goes up. TO THE POWER COMPANY

More Public Issue: - The power company should go through more and more public issue. By issuing share in the market they can raised more and more fund at lower cost. Issue more Bond & Debentures: - Power companies can also issue debenture or bonds for raising debt capital by which they can raise debt fund in lower rate of interest on the very easy way. Utilize the Loan sanctioning amount: -whatever amount sanction by lending company for a power project that amount should be disbursed by this power company. Then they can use maximum amount for developing the project. Share issue in foreign country: - After the globalization, power company can issue there share in foreign country also. As an example KSK POWER Ltd , Suzlon issue there share European market. So Power company especially private sector can go for that and raised fund from the market.

CONCLUSION
The power sector has registered significant progress since the process of planned development of the economy began in 1950. Hydro -power and coal based thermal power have been the main sources of generating electricity. Nuclear power development is at slower pace, which was introduced, in late sixties. The concept of operating power systems on a regional basis crossing the political boundaries of states was introduced in the early sixties. In spite of the overall development that has taken place, the power supply industry has been under constant pressure to bridge the gap between supply and demand. Power development is the key to the economic development. The power Sector has been receiving adequate priority ever since the process of planned development began in 1950. The Power Sector has been getting 18-20% of the total Public Sector outlay in initial plan periods. Remarkable growth and progress have led to extensive use of electricity in all the sectors of economy in the successive five years plans. Over the years (since 1950) the installed capacity of Power Plants (Utilities) has increased to 89090 MW (31.3.98) from meager 1713 MW in 1950, registering a 52d fold increase in 48 years. Similarly, the electricity generation increased from about 5.1 billion units to 420 Billion units 82 fold increases. The per capita consumption of electricity in the country also increased from 15 kWh in 1950 to about 338 kWh in 1997-98, which is about 23 times. In the field of Rural Electrification and pump set energization, country has made a tremendous progress. About 85% of the villages have been electrified except far-flung areas in North Eastern states, where it is difficult to extend the grid supply. The government of India has taken various steps to enable the growth in capacity. The Planning Commission has set a target to add 78 GW of capacity in the fiveyear plan for 20072012. As of March 2009, 12,467 MW has already been commissioned. This growth is also accompanied by a growth in transmission capacity, and the transmission sector is witnessing increased private participation from both international and domestic companies with orders for transmission network strengthening worth USD$3 billion being placed on them in January to March 2009 alone. The implementation of the government sponsored Restructured Accelerated Power Development and Reforms programmed (R-APDRP) for a power distribution utility is also currently underway. Being a student of hard-core FINANCE back ground, I felt a new dimension doing this project. All that I learnt in the text books came up lively in front of my eyes. Honestly enough, knowing the source of fund for the birth of any and every sector is the prime task of a Finance Manager, because it is Finance and only Finance which helps an organization to reach its goal in the
EIILM Page 71

production sector. Doing this project, I got a clear and vivid understanding of the actual corporate scenario and realized very well how the GREEN NOTES play an important role in the organizations. Finance, which forms to be a pillar of any organization makes it possible to achieve what the organization wants keeping in mind that no misuse of fund is done and proper investment is done in the proper sector.

Apart from these technical issues, this project helped me a lot in the following ways; 1. Get a real corporate experience of working under the sun 2. Helped me to understand the Indian Power Sector more closely 3. Tuned me with the Financial Strategies of the Companies 4. Helped me to understand the real fund allotment and approval structures 5. Gave a vivid idea of Indian Power Sectors past and future 6. It helped to get a clear conception of Project Estimation and Financing Policies 7. Finally it helped me to link the definitions of Finance with the practical work experience So in concluding, we can say that this project helped me a lot in different spheres which would be an asset for the rest of my professional life.
