101 = Industry Overview =
102
103 India is one of the largest electricity generation markets in the world, presenting growth opportunities for both domestic as well as international investors. According to the BP Statistical Review (2019), India was the world’s third largest producer of electricity in 2018.{{footnote}}https://www.adanipower.com/-/media/Project/Power/Investors/Investors-Downloads/Annual-Reports/Adani-Power-Limited-AR-2019-20.pdf{{/footnote}}
104
105 India’s power sector has made significant inroads over the last decade, growing its installed capacity from ~~200 GW in FY 2011-12 to ~~370 GW in FY 2019-20.
106
107 In terms of fuel mix, ~~62% of the total installed capacity as of March 2020, and ~~ 76% of the total generation is thermal, indicating India’s dependence on conventional fuel sources. Coal-fired (including lignite) thermal power plants accounted for more than 55% of the total installed capacity.
108
109 In terms of ownership mix, as of March 2020, the private sector contributes ~~ 46.8% of India’s installed capacity. This proportion has increased from ~~ 27.2% in FY 2011-12 owing to continued strong growth in demand and initiatives of the government to encourage private sector participation in power generation.
110
111 == Energy requirement and peak availability ==
112
113 Energy deficit in India decreased from an interim high of 8.7% in FY 2012-13 to 0.5% in FY 2019-20. Peak deficit decreased from an interim high of 10.6% in FY 2011-12 to 0.7% in FY 2019-20.
114
115 Improvement in the power deficit situation signifies the success of various policy initiatives and capital investments made across the business segments. However, India’s per capita consumption still remains well below its peers like China and Brazil and is less than one-third of the global average (as of December 2017). India’s per capita electricity consumption was 1,181 KWh in FY 2019-20.
116
117 Demand for electricity is on the rise as India’s economy gains in global importance. Various factors contributing to the rising per capita consumption, include:
118
119 * improvement of electrification in villages;
120 * GDP growth and general economic activity; and
121 * growth in consumer electronic device penetration
122
123 The 19th Electric Power Survey projects demand to grow from 1,275 TWh in FY 2018-19 to 2,047 TWh in FY 2026‑27, with peak demand growing from 177 GW to 299 GW in the same period.
124
125 == Power consumption ==
126
127 India’s Northern and Western regions accounted for majority of its energy requirements in FY 2019-20 at 30% and 31% respectively, while the Southern region accounted
128
129 27%, and the Eastern and North-Eastern region together constitute the balance 13% of national energy requirement.
130
131 Rising penetration of renewable sources and heavy monsoons, along with a slower economic growth, have resulted in a tempering of demand for thermal power. PLF of thermal power plants stood at 56.1% during FY 2019‑20, versus 60.7% in FY 2017-18 and 61.1% in FY 2018-19. At the same time, various reforms initiated over the last few years are starting to show results, and are expected to help improve power demand gradually. Some key statistics related to the sector are:
132
133 * India is 100% electrified and, as per government data, all willing households have been connected to grid-based electricity, following the ambitious Pradhan Mantri Sahaj Bijli Har Ghar Yojana (SAUBHAGYA) initiatives
134 * Aggregate Technical & Commercial (AT&C) losses (March 2020) was recorded at 19.01% vis-à-vis a targeted 15% as envisaged under the Ujwal DISCOM Assurance Yojana (UDAY), scheme for March 2019 is a concern. Few major SAUBHAGYA beneficiary states, including J&K, UP and Bihar continue to have AT&C losses over 25%
135 * Share of generation for Renewable Energy Systems (RES) rose gradually from 8.6% in FY 2018-19 to 9.2% in FY 2019-20
136
137 == Coronavirus impact ==
138
139 In the wake of the coronavirus outbreak, the Government of India imposed a country-wide lockdown, during which the following steps were undertaken for seamless functioning of the power sector:
140
141 The Ministry of Power advised power generators and transmission utilities, along with various administrative bodies to ensure that the generation and transmission of power, which are essential services, continue uninterrupted. Steps to ensure uninterrupted movement of fuel, raw materials and spares, machinery, and manpower were also covered.
142
143 Various steps were taken to ease liquidity constraints felt by DISCOMs due to the COVID-19 lockdown, such as the ` 90,000 Crore package for loans against DISCOM receivables from PFC and REC, and temporary reduction in payment security mechanism and late payment surcharges for eligible PPAs The RBI also issued guidelines to Banks, FIs, and NBFCs to provide moratorium on term loan instalments and interest, as well as interest on cash credit, for a period of three months, and easing of working capital financing norms, to maintain liquidity in the financial system and prevent defaults by borrowers In order to provide relief to thermal power generators and increase liquidity in the system. Coal India Ltd. has also allowed the facility of Usance Letter of Credit to power plants for payment of coal instead of the existing requirement of cash advance for supply of coal under Fuel Supply Agreements (FSA).
144
145 == Coal demand and supply ==
146
147 Over the years, overall coal consumption has increased continuously. However, FY 2019-20 witnessed a decline in domestic coal consumption due to tepid growth in power demand, and higher generation from renewable energy sources, including hydropower.
148
149 Coal production in India during FY 2019-20 registered a small growth of 1.2% at 738 MT vis-à-vis 729 MT in FY 2018‑19. In comparison, coal production had grown by 2.4% in FY 2017-18 and 7.6% in FY 2018-19. Coal India Ltd. (CIL) and Singareni Collieries Company Limited (SCCL) produced 666 MT of coal in FY 2019-20 as against 671 MT in FY 2018-19. However, coal offtake from both the producers reduced by 4.7%, down from 676 MT in FY 2018-19 to 644 MT in FY 2019-20. The offtake of coal by the power sector from the two suppliers was lower by 5.7%, down from 547 MT in FY 2018-19 to 516 MT in FY 2019-20.
150
151 A slowdown in offtake of coal was observed in March 2020 due to the slump in demand after emergence of the coronavirus crisis led to a higher inventory of domestic coal. Coal stocks at thermal power plants of the country have risen to the highest-ever inventory of 52 MT at the end of March 2020, sufficient for 28 days. Coal inventory at mines also increased steeply to 80 MT, equivalent to 40 days of requirement.
152
153 Coal imports have been increasing through the last few years, with slower than expected growth in domestic production and rising demand from power and other sectors.
154
155 Slowdown in the demand for thermal coal from China during 2019 has impacted international coal prices significantly. HBA prices for March 2020 were 26% lower y-o-y at $67.1/Tonne, while Newcastle coal prices were 43% lower at $64/Tonne.
156
157 = SWOT analysis =
158
159 == Strengths ==
160
161 * Proven capabilities in undertaking the execution of large power projects based on modern technology, with adherence to time and cost limits
162 * Demonstrated capability of turning around stressed power projects after acquisition
163 * Committed and agile teams with deep sector experience and domain expertise in O&M, power sector regulation, project management, and business development
164 * The only Independent Power Producer in India with inhouse, mine-to-plant logistics capability
165 * Mix of coastal, pit-head and hinterland projects in major demand centres and close to fuel source
166 * Competitive tariffs allowing a comfortable Merit Order Despatch position and high levels of offtake
167 * More than 74% of installed and upcoming greenfield capacity tied up in long-term PPAs with availabilitybased tariff mechanism, ensuring revenue stability and recovery of capacity costs
168 * Fuel cost pass through in majority of imported coalbased PPAs, providing stability to cash flows and support to profitability
169 * 84% of domestic coal requirements tied up in long-term Fuel Supply Agreements (FSAs), providing long-term visibility on fuel security
170 * Regulatory approvals for carrying cost, along with late payment surcharge mechanism, provide protection against delays in award of regulatory claims and payment from power procurers
171
172 == Weakness ==
173
174 * Dependence on monopolistic state-owned coal suppliers for domestic coal requirements exposes the Company to disruptions in fuel availability
175 * Some PPAs based on domestic coal supply do not provide escalation for coal price increases, while in other cases, escalation is partial
176 * Events of change in law are compensated through the regulatory process, which can take significant time, and expose the Company to cash flow mismatches in the interim
177 * 26% of capacity is untied and subject to short-term market risk, without stable domestic fuel supply
178
179 == Opportunities ==
180
181 * Stressed power assets with locational advantage available at attractive valuations, providing an opportunity to expand capacity while avoiding execution risk
182 * Anticipated demand growth spurred by economic growth as well as government reforms such as Ujwal DISCOM Assurance Yojana (UDAY), Pradhan Mantri Sahaj Bijli Har Ghar Yojana (SAUBHAGYA), and Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Gram Jyoti Yojana (DDUGJY)
183 * Limited amount of new thermal power capacity to be installed over the coming years, while base load demand is expected to increase with a growing economy. This will create opportunities for both merchant power and long-term tie-ups.
184 * Improving demand and coal supplies will lead to improvements in PLFs
185
186 == Threats ==
187
188 * Increasing preference globally and in India for renewable power, especially solar power, could constrain growth prospects for thermal power generation in the long run
189 * Reluctance of state DISCOMs to tie up power demand through long-term PPAs, in view of subdued rates in merchant and short-term markets
190 * Volatility in international coal prices may affect the Merit Order Position of PPAs with coal price pass through, leading to lower capacity utilisation
191 * Inability of domestic coal miners to raise production in line with demand growth could impact capacity utilisation and increase dependence on imported coal
