Research and Markets: Proposed Thermal Power Projects in India - 2009

DUBLIN--(Business Wire)--
Research and Markets
(http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/14369c/proposed_thermal_p) has
announced the addition of the "Proposed Thermal Power Projects in India - 2009"
report to their offering.

Thermal Power in India holds significance as it constitutes over 63% of the
total Proposed capacity (147,965 MW1) and 81%2 of the total generation in the
country. According to CEA, the country faced peaking shortage of more than 12%
and energy shortage of about 11% during 2008-09. To bridge the demand supply
gap, the government has introduced policies and reforms to promote competition
and make the sector open to all players. The government has also set ambitious
targets for capacity addition for the XI and XII Plans. Taking cue from these, a
lot of projects have been proposed specially in the thermal segment.

Our third report, as part of Power Project Report Series, is an effort to
showcase some of these thermal power projects, which are at initial stage and/or
are under various stages of regulatory clearances. The report further analyses
some important trends mentioned as below:

* About 50% projects based on Super Critical technology: Out of the 76,198 MW
being proposed and detailed in this report, about half of the capacity is
through the super-critical technology clearly indicating a move towards more
efficient and environment friendly technology.
* About 90% capacity of 1000 MW and more: About 90% of the proposed capacity to
come from projects with an Proposed capacity of 1,000 MW and more demonstrating
a shift to large installed capacities in order to reap economies of scale as
well as to gain incentives from the government policies encouraging mega
capacities.
* About one third capacity based on blended/imported coal: More than 65% of the
proposed capacity from projects with indigenous coal as a fuel and more than 32%
from blended or imported coal.
* About three per cent capacity based on gas as fuel

The 200 page Report comprehensively covers details on 58 Proposed Thermal Power
Projects in 13 states across India
