>Indian Power Sector (HEM SECURITIES)

Power is a critical component of any economy’s infrastructure without which its development and growth is a big hindrance. An economy’s growth, development and ability to handle global com-petition, all depends on the availability, reliability and quality of the power sector.
The demand for power is growing exponentially so the scope of growth of this sector is immense. This sector is dominated primarily by Public Sector Undertakings (PSU). The State and Central Government account for 58% and 32% of the generation capac-ity respectively while the private sector accounts for a mere 10%. A major part of the transmission and distribution factors are han-dled by the state utilities. The private sector is gradually making its presence felt in the power sector in distribution and is making a foray into transmission. Power sector is mainly funded through budgetary support and external borrowings were opened to private sector in 1991.
