Trigeneration in India Market Assessment Study VIII

Executive Summary
This market assessment for trigeneration technology within the Indian building sector has been prepared by
undertaking a systematic study of the available secondary information in the different areas having impact on
the market potential. For the sake of completeness, cogeneration as well as trigeneration systems have been
included in this study.
India is a federal democratic country comprising the central government for the whole country and provincial
governments for individual provinces called States. The roles and responsibilities of the Indian Governments
at different levels have been clearly articulated within the constitution.
Until 1991, India has been a highly regulated economy with socialistic overtone. Since then, economy is being
continuously liberalized to encourage private investment including foreign direct investment. This has resulted
in accelerated economic development.
Over 70% of the population in the country lives in villages with limited access to benefits of economic
development. The result has been large migration of population to the urban areas and a rapidly growing
demand for urban space. Growth of commercial space has been even more driven by requirement of the
emerging service industry including information and communication technologies, hotels and hospitals and
retail space. Most of new construction is being designed with centralized cooling systems.
Many of newly constructed facilities and industries located in the area connected to the gas grid successfully
adopted co- or trigeneration systems to lower their energy cost of operation. It has been estimated that about
3000 MW gas based power systems are already installed in India. In the recent past, about 1000 MW of gas
based projects have been added in the building and industrial sectors. Of the 1000 MW, a share of 522 MW is
based on co- and trigeneration. Due to increasing demand for cooling, positive development of regulatory
framework and increased availability of gas, the co- and trigeneration market is expected to grow rapidly.
The heating, ventilation and air conditioning market size in India in 2007 was 13.01 Million kW (3.7 Million TR);
14% of which was for the domestic sector. The market includes sales of central chiller based units; ductable
and split air conditioning units; unitary systems and other air conditioning and refrigeration applications. Based
on an analysis of the market, it may be expected that some of the cooling applications sold in the building and
industrial sector can be tapped as co- and trigeneration market potentials in the short term of one to three
years. The encouraging development of the regulatory framework on both the electricity and gas front is
expected to catalyze conversion of the present stand alone and unitary cooling market into co- and
trigeneration market.
As per provisions in the Electricity Act 2003, the electricity sector in India is well regulated. Some of the
important regulatory developments having relevance to the development of the co- and trigeneration market
include:
1) Power generation including captive generation is totally deregulated except for few specific areas like
nuclear and large hydro. Thus, co- and trigeneration projects can be installed without any regulatory
hurdles.
2) Power sale from a generating plant can be made through different routes like:
a) Long term tariff agreement with distribution utilities-firm and non-firm power
b) Market sale through long term open access
c) Market sale through short term open access
Presently, free open access is available for 1MW and above.
For the gas sector, there are three main players Ministries of Petroleum & Natural Gas (MoPNG), Petroleum
& Natural Gas Regulatory Board (PNGRB) and Oil Industry Safety Directorate , dealing with various policy
and regulatory issues in the sector. Until the enactment of the PNGRB Act and notification of the same in
October, 2007, MoPNG has been regulating the exploration, development, production, allocation and pricing
of gas
51
.

Some of the important recent developments include:
Award of exploration blocks under international competitive bidding as per New Exploration Licensing
Policy (NELP)
Setting up of Petroleum & Natural Gas Regulatory Board (PNGRB) in 2006
Issuance of policy paper on utilization of natural gas (2008)
Issuance of pricing directive under the above policy
Trigeneration in India Market Assessment Study IX

With start of commercial production of gas from Krishna Godavari Basin, commissioning of several liquefied
natural gas terminals and few more new discoveries, the gas availability situation is likely to improve in the
near future. The main industry association of India Confederation of Indian Industries (CII) has made
recommendations to the Government of India for increasing the priority allocation of gas for co- and
trigeneration projects due to the beneficial impacts of higher efficiency and peak power availability.
These developments in the power and gas sectors are expected to provide great impulse to the gas based co-
and trigeneration market.
Using estimates on existing stock and space growth and the heating, ventilation and air conditioning indices
for each sector, the unconstrained potential for co- and trigeneration is about 4 to 7% of the overall installed
power capacity in the country.
Trigeneration projects can be set up under three different models as a dedicated captive plant, group/district
combined heat and power or independent power project (IPP). Most of the projects developed up to now are
dedicated captive plants. Few proposals are under way for development of the group/district combined heat
and power. From the regulatory perspective the development of power plants is de-regulated and power
distribution of electricity supplied by district combined heat and power projects is possible under some
provisions.
The economic reforms have made the foreign investment policy very conducive to encourage foreign
companies to venture in the Indian market for co- and trigeneration projects. Foreign Direct Investment is
freely allowed and industrial license is not required for development of co- and trigeneration projects in India.
The above conclusion is also very evident from the fact that eight foreign companies (3xUSA, 2xUK,
1xFinland, 1xBelgium, 1xGermany), both vendors and service providers have already entered the Indian
market.
Considering the technical and present regulatory limitations the immediate target market for trigeneration
projects can be roughly categorized under project sizes
between 200 kW and 1 MW capacity
larger than 1 MW capacity
A preliminary search for a probable number of trigeneration projects for the hotel and hospital sector proved
that there are around 160 respectively 100 probable projects in the hotel sector and hospital sector in seven
big cities in India. The airport sector would be the ideal target market for a trigeneration project with a unit size
of projects greater than 20 MW.
Trigeneration in India Market Assessment Study 1

1. India - Country overview
1.1 India: a Snapshot
1

India is the 7th largest country in the world and one of the oldest civilizations with a kaleidoscopic variety
and rich cultural heritage. It has achieved multifaceted socio-economic progress since becoming
independent in 1947. India has become self-sufficient in agricultural production, and is now the 10th
industrialized country in the world. It covers an area of 3.287.590 km extending from the snow-covered
Himalayan heights to the tropical rain forests of the south.

1.2 Administrative Set-up

India is a federal republic consisting of the Centre and provinces known as States. Additionally, there
are some centrally administered pockets spread over the entire country known as the Union territories.
The Constitution provides for a parliamentary form of government which is federal in structure with
certain unitary features. The constitutional head of the Executive of the Union is the President. The
Council of Ministers is collectively responsible to the House of the People (Lok Sabha). Every State has
a Legislative Assembly. Certain States have an upper House also called State Legislative Council.
There is a Governor for each state who is appointed by the President. Governor is the Head of the State
and the executive power of the State is vested in him. The Council of Ministers with the Chief Minister as
its head advises the Governor in the discharge of the executive functions. The Council of the Ministers
of a state is collectively responsible to the Legislative Assembly of the State.
The Government of India (Allocation of Business) Rules, 1961 was made by the President of India under
Article 77 of the Constitution, which deals with the distribution of responsibilities among the various
operating wings of the Government of India. The Ministries/Departments of the Government are created
by the President on the advice of the Prime Minister under these Rules. The business of the
Government are transacted in the Ministries/Departments, Secretariats and offices (referred to as
Department) as per the distribution of subjects specified in these Rules. Each of the Ministries is
assigned to a Minister by the President on the advice of the Prime Minister. Each department is
generally under the charge of a Secretary to assist the Minister on policy matters and general
administration. Currently, there are 49 ministries and six independent departments (Secretariat), which
are running the affairs of Union Government.
There are 28 states and seven Union territories (UT) in the country. Union Territories are administered
by the President through an Administrator appointed by him. From the largest to the smallest, each
State/UT of India has a unique demography, history and culture, dress, festivals, language etc.
Electrical Power System is a concurrent subject as per the constitution wherein both the federal and
state governments have jurisdiction over the sector. With introduction of Electricity Act 2003 (also
referred to as the Act" in following chapters), many of the rules and regulations have been reformed or
simplified. For example, currently it is possible to start an electricity generation business without any
business license/approval from either the federal or the state power departments except for some
specified areas like nuclear power or large hydro power plants.

1.3 Overview of the Economic Development
Ever since initiation of the economic reform process in 1991, the Indian economy has been growing at
healthy rate touching the high of 9.7% in the year 2006-07. However, consequent to the global melt
down in 2008-09, India has also been affected particularly resulting in the growth rate decelerating to
6.7%. The Government of India (GOI) has taken major initiatives to recoup the growth rate by
increasing the domestic consumption

With a view to attract foreign investments, many of the administrative and procedural matters are being
continuously reformed and simplified. These have resulted in ever increasing flow of capital in the
market-both direct and institutional investments (except for 2008-09) as shown below.

Figure 3: Foreign Investment

Summarizing:
Geographically, demographically, politically and economically, India is a unique country with
huge diversities. The democratic system of the Government has been highly successful in
retaining Indias rich cultural heritage and at the same time imbibing experiences from the rest
of the world to progress economically.

The federal structure of governance can impose a challenge for decision making, particularly in
the area of economic reform. Even then, India has successfully managed the process as
indicated by robust GDP growth and good inflow of foreign investments.

2. Overview of the Current Co- and Trigeneration Market

The Cogeneration/Trigeneration market in India has been assessed considering both the industrial and
building segments. These segments offer attractive investment opportunities for gas based
cogeneration/trigeneration systems.
Industrial cogeneration has been quite prevalent in various process industries like sugar, chemicals,
fertilizers, textiles, etc. These have been mainly based on internally generated fuel like bagasse in the
sugar industry or coal and oil in other industries. In a recent study carried out, market potential for
industrial cogeneration has been assessed at 7,600 MW.

2.1 Gas Based Combined Heat and Power
The first industrial gas based CHP a 7.5 MW trigeneration facility was installed at a picture tube
manufacturing facility near Delhi in 1989. In the year 1996, a 27 MW trigeneration system was installed
at Arvind Mills, an integrated textile mill in Gujarat. Since then, a number of facilities have been built
particularly in the state of Gujarat driven mainly by gas availability and the establishment of a large
network of both trunk and feeder lines. Many gas engine/turbine manufacturers have entered the
market, as can be seen from the number of installations by the different manufacturers included in
Annex 1.
Due to gas availability constraint till 2008, market growth for gas based cogeneration systems suffered
some setback. However, with expected increased availability of gas due to start of supply from the
Krishna Godavari (KG) Basin and commissioning of a few LNG terminals, renewed interest in CHP and
trigeneration is developing in India. This can be evidenced by the restart of power plants, which were
earlier lying closed due to non-availability of gas (i.e. one large cogeneration unit of a Gujarat based
chemical unit, which is fully operational since beginning of 2009 )
6
.
Almost all cogeneration/trigeneration systems operated in India are based on piped natural gas. There
are few installations, which are based on biogas generated from bio-methanation systems.

2.2 Cogeneration/Trigeneration Systems in the Building Sector
India is a tropical country as would be seen from the climate map of the country. The country is divided
into 5 climate zones as shown below
7
.
Figure 4: Climatic Zones in India
Almost the entire country is falling into hot climatic condition, thus, cooling is the dominant need for
space conditioning. There are few hilly regions, which do face extreme cold conditions. However, these
areas are sparsely populated and have limited commercial activities. Therefore, space heating systems
are very uncommon and are not practically used anywhere.
In the tropical areas, space cooling system is being increasingly used as demand for better living
conditions is increasing. Cooling system and equipment market has shown significant growth in keeping
with increased rate of GDP growth.
Hotels, hospitals, airports, retail, office and integrated residential/commercial complexes require all
forms of building energy viz. power, heating and cooling. Therefore, these market segments offer the
highest potential for trigeneration systems. Other types of buildings requiring space conditioning which
need power and cooling may constitute a medium-term market for co- and trigeneration.
A large (54 MW) trigeneration facility has been planned for the International Techno-park, Bangalore.
This is a self contained complex comprising residential, commercial and entertainment centers serving
20,000 employees. The system has been designed to achieve an overall efficiency of 67%
8
.
Such integrated townships are an emerging trend in Indian real estate. These self contained townships
include residential, retail and commercial infrastructure within a single geographical entity. They also
offer consumers a combination of row houses, villas, bungalows, group housing and amenities at
differential price points. About 20-25 projects exceeding 250 acres are already under various stages of
planning and development, of which over half a dozen are mega townships spanning an area of over
5,000 acres or more
9
.

http://www.99acres.com/do/Company/propertyheadline?templateid=T20081222#1476

With increased availability of gas, such townships would be potential candidates for installation of
trigeneration systems.
The business case of such systems has already been established due to:
operating installations help to remove knowledge barriers
expected increase in availability of gas
provision of open access in the electricity act 2003 allows export of power from such
systems to the grid
operating business models including facility management and ESCO concepts in a few
facilities to demonstrate economic viability
Case studies on a few projects in the building sector have been summarized below in support of the
above observations.

Case Study 1: Hospital Pushpanjali Crosslay, Ghaziabad
Pushpanjali Crosslay Hospital, a 400 bed hospital located in Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh has a peak
electrical demand of 1550 kW and a peak chilling demand of 2813 kW (800TR).
Configuration of the cogeneration plant:
The management planned to shift to a more reliable power source through installation of gas engines
and vapor absorption machines (VAM) to cater to the entire electrical and chilling demand of the
complex. The cogeneration plant comprises 2 x 774 kW gas engines and 2 x 1582 kW (2 x 450 TR)
VAM to be run from the exhaust of the engines. To meet the additional 351.6 kW (100 TR) load,
electrical chillers were installed.

Case Study 2: Hotel ITC Maurya Sheraton, New Delhi
ITC Maurya Sheraton, a 440 room, 5 star hotel located in New Delhi wanted to reduce its variable
expense on power generation, by installing a co-generation plant.
The project comprises a 1.1 MW gas engine and 1055 kW (300 TR) VAM run from the exhaust of the
engines. Though the cogeneration plant meets the electrical and air conditioning load only partially, the
cost of electricity delivered and chilling load met has improved significantly.

Case Study 3: Retail Pacific Mall, Ghaziabad
Pacific Mall, located at Anand Vihar, Ghaziabad near Delhi is one of the largest malls in South Asia, with
a built up area of 46,450 m
2
. The mall includes multiplex, shops, amusement park, food plaza, night
spots, corporate centre, entertainment centre and a star hotel. The electrical demand of the mall is 2.73
MW and chilling demand is 6329 kW (1800 TR). The mall was facing acute problem of power cuts
during the peak evening hours.

The management shifted to a more reliable power source through installation of gas engines and VAM
system to cater to the entire electrical and chilling demand of the complex. The cogeneration plant
comprises 2 x 1365 kW gas engines and 2 x 1582 kW (2 x 450 TR) VAM to be run from the exhaust of
the engines. In addition, to meet the additional 3164 kW (900 TR) load, 2 x 1582 kW (2 x 450 TR) direct
fired VAM have been installed.
The plant saved 280 m
3
of gas per hour of operation of the VAM, amounting to 0.25 Million (assuming
price of gas at 0.25/m3 & 3600 hours of operation per year).

Case Study 4: Integrated Residential and Commercial Complex, Gurgaon, Haryana
DLF Utilities Ltd, a subsidiary of Indias largest real estate company DLF Group, runs cogeneration
power plants to meet the electrical and chilling loads of commercial complexes in the city of Gurgaon,
Haryana. The commercial complex was raised in a place where grid was not available; hence they had
to prepare themselves for power back-up. DLF Utilities Ltd, which looks after the supply of utilities for
the commercial complex has innovatively put up a cogeneration power plant in one of the buildings in
the complex. The building has a built-up space of around 1,639,000 m
2
which constitutes majorly shops
and offices.

The plant includes 4 x 1.74 MVA gas engines and 7 x 2 and 1 x 1.01 MW diesel engines. The gas
engines are aligned with 4 VAM machines each of capacity 1740 kW (495 TR). The additional chilli ng
demand is met through 5 centrifugal chillers of capacity 2637 kW (750 TR) each.


Case Study 5: Guest House Tamil Nadu State Guest House, New Delhi (under development)
The Tamil Nadu State Guest House at New Delhi known as the Tamil Nadu House (TN House) is
situated at Kautilya Marg, Chanakyapuri, New Delhi, India. This building was constructed in 2004 and
houses Ministers, public representatives and state VIPs including the Chief Minister and the Governor
whenever they are on an official visit to Delhi. The office of the Resident Commissioner and other staff
are located in this building. TN House also has a restaurant, which is open to the public. There are two
buildings named New and Old TN House located at a distance of 4 km between them. The peak
electrical demand in the new TN House is 250 kW and in the old TN House is 120 kW. The peak HVAC
demand of the new TN House is 932 kW (265 TR). The new TN House building already has a 932 kW
(265 TR) direct fired VAM to meet the air-conditioning load.

The Indo-German Energy Program is planning the installation of a 347 kW gas engine along with a 369
kW (105 TR) VAM to be recovered from the exhaust gas and jacket water of the gas engine. The
additional HVAC demand of 563 kW (160 TR) is proposed to be met through the centrifugal chillers of
879 kW (250 TR) capacity. The TN House already has a connection for gas supply from the local gas
distribution company. The proposed plant is expected to deliver reliable power and more efficient
technology for meeting the chilling demand.

Case Study 6: Government Office, Ahmedabad, Gujarat (feasibility study in progress)
Sachivalaya Complex, a building with a built up area of 189,175 m
2
houses various government offices
of the Gujarat state government (Western Region of India) and has a connected load of 3400 kW. The
building, which is operated and maintained by the Roads and Buildings Department, has been
contemplating the installation of a cogeneration power plant to meet the electrical and chilling loads of
the building.
The proposed configuration comprises a 2.5 MW gas engine with 2637 kW (750 TR) VAM and an
electrical chilling system of 3692 kW (1050 TR).


Case Study 7: Integrated City System (feasibility study in progress)
New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC), the local municipal body that caters to 3% of the area and
population of Delhi city comprises important buildings like Rashtrapati Bhawan, Parliament House,
Supreme Court etc. The central part of NDMC area, known as the Connaught Place, has 3000
consumers with a sanctioned load of 25 MW within a circle of radius 309 m, which includes offices,
shops, banks, hotels, restaurants & theatres. Roughly 83% of the sanctioned load is utilized by the
offices and shops. Connaught Place, declared as a heritage site by the Govt of Delhi, is proposed to be
revamped and redeveloped by NDMC.

The project is at proposal stage for a cogeneration power plant with cumulative capacity of 16 MW with
16877 kW (4800 TR) VAM and 16595 kW (4720 TR) electrical chiller, to cater to the load of all the 3000
consumers.
The cogeneration plant is intended to improve the aesthetics of the area with the centralized chilling
plant replacing unitary air-conditioning systems. NDMC, the local distribution licensee would also get the
benefit lower power demand and a dedicated & reliable power supply.

2.3 Overall Installed Capacity of Non-Utility Gas Based Power Plant
Total non-utility installed capacity based on gas has been assessed at about 3000 MW.
Table 3: Non Utility Gas Based Capacity
10

Year Capacity, MW
2004-05 2866
2005-06 3025
2006-07 2976

These non-utility power plants are mostly installed in the industrial sector in cogeneration/trigeneration
mode.
Green Power International (the Indian counterpart of Deutz) has installed over 250 MW capacity and
90% of these installations are based on cogeneration. Rolls Royce Energy has installed over 1500 MW
capacity comprising 250 engine and 100 gas turbine based systems
11
.
It is assessed that about 2000 to 2500 MW cogeneration systems are presently operational in India. It is
noteworthy to mention here that till 2008, no new installation was coming up as gas was not available.

With the improved availability and focus on rapidly expanding power capacity, the gas based
cogeneration market is poised for rapid growth.
Some global gas engine players are active in India. A partial list of recently installed plants has been
prepared based on information obtained from the major vendors, (details included in the reports annex).
Summary information is as shown in the following table.

3. Overview of the Heating, Ventilation and Air
Conditioning Market
3.1 The Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning Market
The Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) market in India is mainly characterized by the air-
conditioning market. Present market size has been estimated at 13 x 10
6
kW (3.7 X 10
6
TR) out of which
about 2.3 x 10
6
kW (0.65 x 10
6
TR) represents chilled water based central system, which is likely to be
the immediate target market for cogeneration/trigeneration system.
There is a market for hot water generators (known as geysers or electrical water heaters) in the
Northern and Central part of the country. About 1.6 million of such heaters are sold annually in India
12
.
Assuming average power consumption of 1.5 kW/heater
13
, total installed capacity would be about 2400
MW. A few large cities have made it mandatory to install roof top solar water heaters in the new
buildings under construction. This may partially reduce the size of the heater market.
In the case of TN House Project (case study in previous sector) it was assessed that the use of waste
heat after VAM can meet the energy need of the hot water system. This can improve the energy
efficiency of the system by some 5%. In a district trigeneration project under feasibility study, the use of
waste heat after VAM to meet space heating application has been assessed at 200 kW, representing
1% of the overall power generation. Similar opportunities could exist for complexes like hotels, hospitals
and integrated residential cum commercial complexes.
3.2 Air Conditioning Equipment and Systems
The entire space cooling system can be illustrated by the following framework.

Unitary systems comprising window and mini-split units mostly are also referred to as room air
conditioners (RAC). RACs cater to the residential and small commercial segment. Central air-
conditioning comprises ductable split units, packaged units to large central chiller based units, which
cater to the commercial segment. There are specialized applications such as telecom shelters and
precision air-conditioning equipment for data centers which warrant special mention due to increasing
demand.
The Indian air-conditioning industry has been experiencing a radical change in the last decade.
According to estimates by Blue Star Ltd., a major Indian AC manufacturer, the HVAC market has
increased from 800 Million in 2005-06 to 1.5 Billion in 2008-09 nearly double in 4 years. The year
on year growth in each segment is as follows:

The difference in the figures by the two different agencies reflects the deficiency in the present system
of reporting and collation of data from the market players. One possible reason is that there are more
than one industry associations such as RAMA or AIACRA etc and the memberships are different, which
leads to different estimations.
The Indian industry has witnessed some marked shifts in trends in the last decade, the notable ones
being.
Increasing strength of the organized manufacturing sector for air-conditioning systems. In the
past the unorganized segment which was exempt from taxes and government reporting
requirements held nearly 65% of the market share which is now down to about 14%

In terms of ratio of split air conditioners to window air-conditioners, the estimates from Voltas indicates
that the ratio of Windows to Splits in 2004-05 was 3:1 and is presently reported to be 1:1
23
. This is also
corroborated by the CRISIL research
22
.

Detailed break-down of capacity point wise sales are not available. Analysis of the database of BEE
rated window and split ACs, the number of star rated units for each rating (Table 10), it can be inferred
that the most popular window AC models are 3.52 kW (1 TR), 4.92 kW (1.4 TR), 5.27 kW (1.5 TR) and
5.98 kW (1.7 TR) models while for the split segment the points are 3.16 kW (0.9 TR), 3.52 kW (1.0 TR),

next 4-5 years but change in product mix will lead to higher value growth of 17% per annum. Further, in
terms of volumes, the ratio of split air conditioners to window air conditioners is projected to be 3:2 (in
terms of volume) and 4:1 (in terms of value).
3.2.2 Ductable Splits and Packaged Air Conditioners
Originally conceived and manufactured for the small to medium size commercial sector comprising
restaurants, retails shops, banks and offices, manufacturers and ductable splits and packaged air
conditioners have penetrated a much wider market with great success. Larger capacities and specially
designed units, both made in India and imported, have helped to grow the market substantially.

The application of ducted splits in various segments is as follows:
Residential: in large multi-room mansions; typically roof top units and variable refrigerant flow
(VRF) units are finding increasing application
Small Commercial. The packaged / ducted split AC is ideally suited for small trade and
commercial establishments spread out in all urban areas of the country. Installed as a single
unit or in multiples, depending on the area and cooling load, these units are connected to an air
distribution ductwork to evenly spread the cooling effect.

Large Commercial. Even though the largest capacity packaged AC manufactured in the
country is only 58 kW (16.5 TR), which can handle a small office building floor area of
approximately 300 m
2
, multiple units have been installed in many larger office buildings, adding
upto 2,461 kW (700 TR) or 2,813 kW (800 TR). Similarly, several shopping malls designed for
central chilled water systems have installed PACs with total capacities of anywhere around
2637 kW (750 TR), mainly for economic considerations. Such applications can become
potential market for Trigeneration system as large quantity of cooling load can be efficiently
met from waste heat recovery based VAM systems.

Broadly this segment includes
Air cooled ducted split air-conditioners
Air cooled package air conditioners
Water cooled packaged air conditioners
These ACs use scroll or reciprocating compressors and depending on the application, the indoor units
can be configured as floor standing or ceiling suspended systems. There are variants based on the
refrigerant used.
Typical capacity points at which such systems are available in India is summarized below:

The economics of different types depend upon the following factors:
Annual usage hours
Availability of waste heat and cost
Electricity tariff
Gas tariff
Ambient conditions and location

At the current gas price of 0.18 to 0.21 per m
3
, cost of delivery of 3.516 kW (1 TR) refrigeration from a
direct gas fired VAM system is quite comparable to an electrical system.

However, the economics for a VAM based on waste heat recovery depends on the ratio of chilling
demand to power demand, the co-existence of electrical & chilling demand and the operating hours of
the facility. Since the heat energy fed in to the VAM is the waste heat of the generator, the economics of
the VAM improves.

The organized retail accounts for about 4% of the total retail market in India and is expected to grow at a
CAGR of 40% by 2013.
The annual AT Kearney Global Retail Development Index (GRDI) ranks 30 emerging countries on a
scale of 100 points scale. The higher ranking denotes higher market attractiveness. India was ranked
No. 1 in the GRDI 2009.
65% of Indias retail market is concentrated in the countrys seven largest cities.

Sources of Information:
Government Hospitals: National Health Profile, 2007, MOHFW, GOI
Other Hospitals: Opportunities in Health Care-Destination India, 2004, CII. However according to a
joint study with Mc Kinsey in 2001, the number of such facilities is reported to be between 35,000-
40,000 with over 84% having fewer than 30 beds & only 6% more than 100 beds.
387,639 Beds

According to the 60th Round of the NSSO (2004), privately-operated healthcare delivery accounted for
over half of all inpatient hospital visits in India and 77-80 % of all outpatient visits.
According to a WHO report, India needs to add 80,000 hospital beds each year for the next five years
(starting from 2008), to meet the demand of its growing population.

4.2.6 Airports
According to a report Airport Realty Report by Cushman & Wakefield, approximately 7,246,437 m
2
of
real estate space across retail, commercial & hospitality, can be expected in the country, with the
modernisation and upgradation of the 47 airport projects (40 brownfield project, a project which involves
redevelopment of an existing project and seven greenfield projects, a project which lacks any constraint
imposed by prior work) across tier I, II and III locations by 2015. The tier levels of the city are defined by
real estate consultants as the indicator of the development of the city. Tier-I cities are more developed
than the Tier-II, which are in turn more developed than the Tier-III. These projects cover a total of
approximately 40,000 acres of airport area. The tier-wise break-up of expected space can be
understood from the figure below:

4.2.7 Summary Commercial Segment
Quality information is available for the commercial sector for the more active markets
comprising the regions NCR-Delhi, Gurgaon, Noida, Ghaziabad and Faridabad and cities like
Bangalore, Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad and Pune. For the
government buildings, information is available only for the existing stock of the Central
Government. Considering the objective of the present study, this information is sufficient to
assess the current and near future market potential for gas based cogeneration/trigeneration
systems. Accordingly, space estimation has been made as listed and can be summarized in
the following table.

Chawl or Basti is a building with a number of tenements mostly single-roomed having common corridor,
common bathing and toilet facilities.
Pucca : A structure whose walls and roof are made of burnt bricks, stone, cement, concrete, jack board (cement
- plastered reeds), mosaic, tiles or timber.
Semi- Pucca: either the roof or the walls, but not both, is made like that of a pucca structure
Kutcha : Walls and roofs are made up with mud, bamboo, grass, leaves, reeds, thatch or unburnt bricks.


The appliance penetration identified by the research for this report has been compared against the
information available from the NSSO survey as shown in the following table:
Table 22: Appliance Penetration per 1000 Households
Appliance NSSO Survey 1993 NSSO Survey 2005 DSCLES Survey 2007
Ceiling fans 566 818 1,094
Air Cooler 64 182 483
Air Conditioners - 31 92
Refrigerator 123 319 801
Washing Machines 41 - 454

Since the samples were very small, it was not possible to establish co-relationship of appliance
penetration with available information viz. number of households, population growth, income level etc.
This makes it difficult to make sound projection for assessment of electrical load growth for different
purposes in the residential area.

The space growth and energy co-relationship is difficult to assess due to difficulty in getting adequate
data. Conclusions on energy usage in the residential sector were also drawn by Mc Kinsey Global
Institute as indicated in the figure below:
Figure 25: MGI projection of residential space growth
46

However, in the last few years the residential sector in India has been undergoing a rapid change as
more and more integrated townships were built in the major cities like Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata,
Gurgaon, Bangalore, Pune, Hyderabad, Noida, Faridabad and Chandigarh
47
.

Quoting from a recent news report
47

Around 49.29 Million m
2
of housing space would be developed in Grade A & B category in major
cities. It would amount to about 200,000 units per year in the middle income and high-income
categories, but the major shortage of accommodation units exists in the low-income group and
economically weaker section. The National Capital Region (NCR) would see the supply of
approximately 17.78 million m
2
residential space by the year 2009-10. NCR comes second after
Bangalore, it commands nearly 35% share of the top residential markets in India.

Based on the space information given above and the above case study, it may be possible to make
some projections of co-generation potential in integrated complexes. However, considering the data
availability and result of only one case study and that too from a temperate climate zone, estimation for
residential segment/integrated complex is not included in this feasibility study.
Infobox: DSCLES Case Study for an Integrated Commercial and Residential Complex
A study was carried out by DSCLES for an integrated complex to explore the feasibility of the installation of a self-
sufficient energy system. The complex consisted of both residential blocks of 0.60 million m
2
, commercial blocks
(including entertainment) of 0.33 million m
2
and multi level car parking of 0.07 million m
2
. The various load profiles
were assessed as follows:
Total Electrical (including HVAC): 30 MW
HVAC Load: 24612 kW ( 7000 TR)
Several configurations were considered and it evolved that a gas based co-generation system of the following
configuration was feasible: Four units (one standby) of 8.3 MW with VAM of 28128 kW (8000 TR).

5. Policy & regulatory framework
5.1 Energy Sector Overview
48

The table below shows the overall energy consumption scenario in India. Coal is the dominant fuel
followed by oil. Coal is and will remain the dominant source of energy in India during the next decades.
48

The consumption growth of coal has been over 26% in the last five years against 18% for petroleum
products. Gas consumption had nearly stagnated due to availability constraints. In the year 2009, gas
has started flowing from the recently discovered fields at Krishna-Godavari Basin (KG Basin). Several
new LNG terminals have also been commissioned and LNG is fed in and distributed in the gas grid.
Growth in gas consumption is therefore likely to show major increase in the next few years.

At the standardized heating value, coal accounts for over 51% of the total commercial energy and 78%
of the domestic coal is used for power generation

This figure represents about 0.6% of the global reserve. The following table shows the reserve
estimate as developed over the last few years

The overall domestic production of gas, which has almost stagnated, is expected to show some
quantum of increase with the start of gas flow by Reliance Industries Limited (RIL) KG basin wells. The
following table shows the projected production under normal and optimistic scenarios.

The overall gas demand in the country is expected to increase to 103 billion m
3
by 2011-12. It is also
anticipated that by the same year domestic production and LNG import will have equal share. This
would be followed by gradual decline in share of domestic gas and increase of LNG.
Until recently gas demand was severely constrained by availability. Indias Ministry of Petroleum and
Natural Gas (MoPNG) has proposed that all cities having a population of above 2.5 Million are to be
connected to an overregional gas grid in the next three years
53
. There are 12 cities in this category,
among them are Pune, Kota, Indore, Gwalior, Ujjain, Cochin, Trivandrum, Calicut and four other cities in
Karnataka.
Taking into consideration the untapped demand and estimated growth due to wider coverage, the gas
demand for the 11th five year plan is estimated as follows.

Total 179.17 196.64 225.52 262.07 279.43

At the maximum assessed demand level as indicated above and the projected domestic production as
per Table 25, there would be a shortfall of over 109 million m
3
/day. This is to be met by import of LNG.
The present plan for import is shown in the following table.

The above estimate does not factor in the proposed expansion of the Hazira terminal.
From the perspective of trigeneration, development of the city gas distribution (CGD) system would be
the important and critical driver. As of now CGD has been ranked below fertilizers and petrochemical
category for new connection. However, given the relatively low volume of gas needed for kick starting
CGD operation, it is expected that cogeneration/trigeneration projects shall get higher priority for gas
allocation
55
.
5.2.1 City Gas Distribution
Presently the following cities are covered by CGD network based on natural gas:
Table 29: CGD Service Areas

City/Cities Service provider Ownership
Duliajan, Sibsagar (Assam) Assam Gas Company Government of Assam
Ankleswar, Bharuch, Surat (Gujarat) Gujarat Gas Company British Gas (Private)

Mumbai Mahanagar Gas Limited JV (GAIL, British Gas, Maharashtra Government)
Delhi Indraprastha Gas Limited JV (GAIL, BPCL, ILFS, IDFC, Delhi Government)

A few more cities are serviced using coal and sewer treatment gas.
Government of India has decided to aggressively pursue expansion of gas network in view of expected
higher availability of gas from domestic production expansion and LNG import. With the recent discovery
of natural gas in the KG basin on the eastern offshore of the country, the indigenous production of
natural gas is set to double with natural gas emerging as an important source of energy. LNG
infrastructure in the country is also being expanded. Government proposes to develop a blueprint for
long distance gas high ways leading to natural gas grid. This would facilitate transportation of gas
across length and breadth of the country
57
.

These developments are expected to provide the necessary stimulus to the development of distributed
generation particularly cogeneration and trigeneration.

5.3 Power Scenario
Power development in India commenced at the end of the 19th century with the commissioning of 130
kW generators at Darjeeling (West Bengal) in the year 1897 followed by a steam driven unit of 1000 kW
at Calcutta in the year 1899. Post independence, state electricity boards were formed in the 1950s to
provide thrust in growing the electricity sector. The total installed capacity which was only 1713 MW in
1950 has increased to over 132,329 MW as on March, 2007 comprising of 34,654 MW hydro, 86,014
MW thermal, 3,900 MW nuclear and 7,761 MW from renewable. Additionally, captive capacity (Over 1
MW sized individual plant) of over 22,335 MW has also been installed consisting of 60 MW hydro,
11,398 MW steam based, 7,723 MW diesel, 2,976 MW gas based and 178 MW wind power
58
.

Despite this impressive growth, the per capita consumption per year is quite low at 671.89 kWh as on
March 31, 2007. Even at this low level of consumption, India suffers from perennial shortage of
electricity in meeting the peak demand and energy.

Furthermore, the governments proposal to develop a National Gas Grid has also been viewed, by CARE, as a step
beneficial to the power generation sector, as this would allow for the implementation of gas-based power plants
throughout the country, based on fuel supplies via the gas grid.

Several different types of systems have been developed to tackle the shortfall. Some of these are:
Power rostering in the rural and semi-urban areas
Scheduled and unscheduled load shedding
Use of inverter systems
Use of diesel generating sets

Consequently to these shortfalls, the electricity market is developing in different ways: Capacity addition
as per regulated and planned process, capacity addition on merchant basis and entry of the captive
generators in the broader market to realize higher prices from power sale than by product
manufacturing.

The following graph shows the hourly averages of Market Clearing Price of power at the Indian Energy
Exchange (IEX), the first power exchange in India set up in July 2008.
POWER EXCHANGES CHARGE HIGHER PRICES OF ELECTRICITY IN APRIL 09
July 7: The report brought out by the Market Monitoring Cell, under the Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (CERC)
on the short term transactions of power in the month of April 2009 has revealed that on an average, the two power
exchanges transacted more expensive electricity than was available with power traders. In fact, the average price of
electricity transacted through power exchanges was higher than even the highest price charged for Unscheduled
Interchange (UI) transactions in the nation for the month.
The weighted average sale price for the electricity transacted through traders was Rs 7.21. The weighted average
sale price for the transactions during round the clock (RTC), peak and off-peak periods, was Rs 6.83, Rs 9.05 and
Rs 8.47, respectively. Minimum and maximum sale price was Rs 1.84 and Rs 13.54, in that order.
The minimum, maximum and weighted average price of electricity transacted through power exchanges was Rs
2.98, Rs 14.90 and Rs 10.10, respectively, for IEX, and Rs 0.00, Rs 14.50 and Rs 10.18, correspondingly, for PXIL.
The price of electricity transacted through UI has been computed for the North-East-West (NEW) Grid and Southern
Region (SR) Grid separately. The average UI price was Rs 5.36 in the NEW Grid and Rs 6.04 in the SR Grid. The
power deficit is more in the Southern Region, when compared with other regions, therefore, the UI price was higher
in the SR Grid when compared with the UI price in the NEW Grid. Minimum and maximum price of UI was Rs 0.12
and Rs 7.35, respectively, in the NEW Grid, and Rs 0.12 and Rs 7.35, respectively, in the SR Grid.
Notably, during the month of April 2009, total electricity generation, excluding generation from renewable sources
and captive power plants, in India was 62486.24 MU. Of the total, 4432.07 MUs (7.09%) were transacted in the
short-term, 2210.34 MU (3.54%) through bilateral mechanisms (through traders and directly between distribution
companies), followed by 1815.66 MU (2.91%) through UI and 406.07 MUs (0.65%) through power exchanges.

Figure 27: Market Clearing Price for electricity traded at Indian Energy Exchange

The Confederation of Indian Industries (CII) has
prepared a recommendation note, which was
presented to the Indian Union Minister of Power on
25
th
August, 2009 (copy of a news clipping shown
above). Recommendations include:
Policy initiatives for installation of gas
based CHP system to
Improve efficiency of energy usage
Meet peak shortage
Priority gas allocation for such projects

The relevant parts of the presentation are annexed.
This development has hugely positive ramification
on viability and development of trigeneration
projects as such projects can be easily operated on
short time basis to cater to the peak demand and
realize much higher price from sale of electricity
compared to usual tariff.


5.4 Tariff Framework
The business of power distribution is a state subject and the different state distribution utilities are
governed by the regulations of the respective State Electricity Regulatory Commissions (SERCs). The
state distribution licensees approach the SERCs, primarily for the fixation of retail tariff. The different
consumer categories change from state to state, but the consumers can be broadly categorized as
Agricultural, Domestic, Non-Domestic/Commercial and Industrial. The tariffs for each of these consumer
categories are not only different between states, but also for different distribution utilities within a state.

The provisions of Electricity Act 2003 (EA 03), National Electricity Policy (NEP) and National Tariff
Policy (NTP) prove as guiding principles for the design of tariff.

The SERCs follow the principle that the tariff should Progressively reflect cost of supply of Electricity
and also reduce the element of cross subsidies within the time specified in the Tariff Policy. The EA 03
lays special emphasis on safeguarding consumers interest and also requires that the cost should be
recovered in a reasonable manner.
The National Electricity Policy aims at achieving the following objectives:
Access to Electricity - Available for all households in the next five years
Availability of Power - Demand to be fully met by 2012. Energy and peaking shortages to be
overcome and adequate spinning reserve to be available.
Supply of Reliable and Quality Power of specified standards in an efficient manner and at
reasonable rates.
Per capita availability of electricity to be increased to over 1000 units by 2012.
Minimum lifeline consumption of 1 unit/household/day as a merit good by year 2012.
Financial Turnaround and Commercial Viability of Electricity Sector.
Protection of consumers interests.

According to the National Electricity Policy, consumers below poverty line who consume below a
specified level, e.g. 30 units per month, may receive a special support through cross subsidy. Tariffs for
such designated groups of consumers will be at least 50% of the average cost of supply.
59
Similarly the
domestic and agricultural consumer category are charged with lower tariff and which is made possible
by the higher tariff paid by the commercial and industrial consumers. According to the National Tariff
Policy, SERC were to notify roadmap with a target that latest by the end of year 2010-2011 tariffs are
within 20 % of the average cost of supply. The following table shows the prevailing power tariff for the
major consumer categories under distribution utilities of different states and the disparity among the
categories.

5.5 Regulatory Framework
The basic business model proposed under the scheme includes sale of power and cooling and heating
energy from the installed cogeneration/trigeneration system. As of now, only power sale is regulated
whereas there is no separate regulation for businesses of supplying heat energy.
For gas based systems, the input energy (gas) is subject to regulation by public authorities. The
regulatory study for this assignment has been carried out to capture both the power and gas sectors.
5.5.1 Power-Regulatory & Policy Development
The electricity sector has been a regulated sector in India since 1910 through promulgation of Electricity
Acts/rules and their amendments. Currently, the power business is governed by the provisions of the
Indian Electricity Act 2003.
Following implementation of the Act, a national policy has been announced by the Ministry of Power
(MoP) in 2005 outlining the policy goals and long term action agenda for development of the sector
60
.
Recent policy and regulatory developments, which include provisions for facilitating development of
cogeneration/trigeneration projects are briefly summarized in the following table.

Table 32: Policy and Regulatory Milestones

Actions required for meeting these policy objectives are being debated across the country amongst
various section of the population.

Important regulatory issues, which would have direct impact on the development of CHP business, are
briefly discussed as under.

60
National Electricity Policy, http://www.powermin.nic.in/whats_new/national_electricity_policy.htm

A) REGULATORY ORGANIZATIONS CERC & SERC
As per the Electricity Act, regulations are carried out at two levels: CERC and State Electricity
Regulatory Commissions (SERC).
CERC is a statutory body constituted under the provision of the erstwhile Electricity Regulatory
Commissions Act, 1998 and continued under Electricity Act, 2003 (which has since repealed
inter alia the ERC Act, 1998). The main functions of the CERC are to regulate the tariff of
generating companies owned or controlled by the Central Government
to regulate the tariff of generating companies other than those owned or controlled by the
Central Government, if such generating companies enter into or otherwise have a composite
scheme for generation and sale of electricity in more than one State
to regulate the inter-State transmission of energy including tariff of the transmission utilities, to
grant licenses for inter-State transmission and trading and to advise the Central Government in
formulation of National Electricity Policy and Tariff Policy.
The concept of SERC as a statutory body responsible for determination of tariff and grant of license at
intra-State level was envisaged in the erstwhile Regulatory Commissions Act, 1998 and has been
continued in the Electricity Act, 2003 (which has since repealed inter alia the ERC Act, 1998). Main
responsibilities of the SERC are
to determine the tariff for generation, supply, transmission and wheeling of electricity, whole
sale, bulk or retail sale within the State
to issue licenses for intra-State transmission, distribution and trading
to promote co-generation and generation of electricity from renewable sources of energy etc
61
.
There is also a forum of regulators (FOIR), who meet periodically to review and provide new directions
for the development of the regulatory process. Forum of regulators has been envisaged as statutory
body under the Electricity Act, 2003. The forum is consisting of the Chairperson of the Central
Commission and Chairpersons of State Commission.

B) GENERATION OF ELECTRICITY
Generation of electricity has been freed from all licensing and approval requirement. It is now possible to
install a generating plant for captive use or sale of power without seeking regulatory approvals from
business perspective.
Current installed generation capacity is about 149,392 MW, over 85% being in the State sector. Close to
54% of the capacity is based on coal. Gas contributes to about 10.5%
62
. Contribution from the gas
sector is likely to increase in the next few years due to announcement of new policy and prioritization of
gas allocation for the existing gas based power plants.
Information on contribution from distributed generation is not available in the public domain.
However reports by the Central Electricity Authority (CEA) on the actual generation from the different
sources include the same from the diesel generating plants. In the period from Apr08 to Jan09, 3857
Million kWh was generated from diesel system against 2533 Million kWh in the corresponding period in
the previous year showing a growth of over 44%.
Thus, it can be stated that the open policy on generation is already making some impact on the growth
of distributed generation.

Any generating company may establish, operate and maintain a generating station without obtaining a license
under this Act if it complies with the technical standards relating to connectivity with the grid referred to in clause
(b) of section 73 (b) specify the technical standards for construction of electrical plants, electric lines and
connectivity to the grid.
Every person, who has constructed a captive generating plant and maintains and operates such plant, shall have
the right to open access for the purposes of carrying electricity from his captive generating plant to the destination
of his use: Provided that such open access shall be subject to availability of adequate transmission facility and
such availability of transmission facility shall be determined by the Central Transmission Utility or the State
Transmission Utility, as the case may be: Provided further that any dispute regarding the availability of
transmission facility shall be adjudicated upon by the Appropriate Commission.
Indian Electricity Act 2003-Generation

C) TRANSMISSION AND DISTRIBUTION
The Electricity Act, 2003 envisages competition in transmission and has provisions for grant of
transmission licenses by the CERC as well as SERCs.
Certain provisions in the Electricity Act 2003 such as open access to the transmission and distribution
network, recognition of power trading as a distinct activity, the liberal definition of a captive generating
plant and provision for supply in rural areas are expected to introduce and encourage competition in the
electricity sector. It is expected that all the above measures on the generation, transmission and
distribution front would result in formation of a robust electricity grid in the country. However, major
problems are being experienced by prospective open access consumers in getting the access to the
transmission network as required. Investments in augmenting transmission network have not kept pace
with the same in generation system
63
.
Prior to implementation of Electricity Act 2003, distribution business was monopoly of the vertically
integrated State Power Utilities. The Act required unbundling of the utilities into generation, transmission
and distribution companies. All States were to carry out this reform in a time bound manner. However,
as on date the position is as under
64
:
Integrated State utilities-13
Department of State Power Ministry-6
Unbundled distribution companies (DISCOMs)-36
Privatized Discoms-7
Further information on the status of reforms may be found in the internet
65
.
The DISCOMs source power from generating companies and supply to the consumers connected to its
system. Power is purchased by DISCOMs under long term power purchase agreement (PPA) from
generating companies and also under short term purchase from the market to meet contingencies. The
tariff is usually determined annually as per order from the regulators based on assessment of the annual
revenue requirement (ARR) by the utilities.
D) OPEN ACCESS
Provision has been made in the Act for provision of non-discriminatory open access to a consumer who
may decide to procure power from sources other than the serving utility in the area. This provision has
been made to increase competition in the sector.

Where any person, whose premises are situated within the area of supply of a distribution licensee, (not being a
local authority engaged in the business of distribution of electricity before the appointed date) requires a supply of
electricity from a generating company or any licensee other than such distribution licensee, such person may, by
notice, require the distribution licensee for wheeling such electricity in accordance with regulations made by the
State Commission and the duties of the distribution licensee with respect to such supply shall be of a common carrier
providing non-discriminatory open access.
Section 42.3-The Electricity Act, 2003
The Act has fully empowered the CERC and SERCs to introduce the system in a gradual manner
starting with consumers having loads of over 5 MW. CERC has issued the order on governing principles
in 2004.
66
This covers definition of long and short term open access, schedules, tariffs and various
charges, metering, grid code and information management system.
Various SERCs have since then issued open access order for their respective States. Presently, some
of the States allow open access to consumers having load up to 1 MW. However, most plants in the
building segments are providing electrical capacities below 1 MW, such as 330 KW for the Tamil Nadu
House in New Delhi. Exportable surplus from such plants would be of lower magnitude. It is expected
that the limit will gradually rise.
This might have positive impact on cogeneration and trigeneration as operators can sell surplus power
to open access consumers.

E) SCHEDULING AND LOAD DISPATCH
Power can be dispatched to the grid under several arrangements like:
Sale to the utility/licensee under firm power PPA
Sale to utility/licensee under non-firm arrangement
Sale through short-term open access
Sale through long term open access
The entire process and flow is supposed to be managed by the State Load Despatch Centers (SLDC)
for transmission within the State and Regional Load dispatch Centers for inter-state transmission.
The utilities want to prevent losing business/revenue due to migration of open access consumers and
which is possible because of the close relations with the SLDCs. It is expectd that, as the power market
developes, more clarity about currently discussed issues will emerge.
67

F) SALE OF POWER AND PRICE REALIZATION
Different options exist for the sale of power to a distribution utility as per tariff approved by relevant
regulatory authority, to a 3
rd
party using provision of open access. A number of power trading companies
are operating for facilitating sale through open access. This can be done through both short and long
term open access.
Two power exchanges have also come up for trading of power through short term open exchange.
In case of captive use, the sales revenue from the cogeneration project is governed by several factors
such as the price of gas, the ratio of heat to power load or the utilization hours. In case of sale of power,
this would be impacted by the mode of sale. Almost all the States in India are suffering from power
shortage.

This has opened up opportunity for using surplus generation from such projects to realize high revenue
by short term open exchange. It should be possible to realize revenue of 0.1 to 0.20/kWh by such short
term sale. The Power Traders/Power Exchange facilitates the selling, transmission and revenue
collection process.
Other provision of open access pertains to loading of distribution surcharge called cross subsidy. Many
of the consumer categories are provided with free/subsidized electricity at different levels by the various
Provincial Governments. Therefore, utilities are allowed to collect surcharges from commercial and
industrial consumers including open access consumers to meet the revenue shortfall on account of
subsidy. The amount of subsidy is approved by the concerned regulatory agency. As per the Act, this
subsidy was to be gradually reduced over a five years period. In case of sale through open access, it is
the customer who pays for the cross subsidy and transmission charges. The owner of the
cogeneration/trigeneration plant is usually paid for the net power at the export terminal. The price
realization from the market would obviously have relation to the surcharge payable by the buyer.
The introduction of availability based tariff (ABT), UI rates and Time-of-day (TOD) tariff and metering
system by regulators and utilities have opened up further opportunities of getting higher rates.
SUMMARIZING:
1. The Electricity sector in India is well regulated as per the provisions in the Electricity Act 2003
2. The regulatory organizations are in place in all the States and these organizations have been
generally conducting the business of regulations in a highly professional manner
3. Power generation business is completely deregulated.
4. Similarly, captive generation business has also been deregulated
5. Power sale from a generating plant can be done through different routes
a) Long term tariff agreement with distribution utilities-firm and non-firm power
b) Market sale through long term open access
c) Market sale through short term open access

5.5.2 Natural Gas-Policy & Regulatory Development
While the utilization of natural gas in India began in the early 1960s, the volume of gas utilized increased
significantly only in the early 1980s after gas became available from early the Western Offshore fields.
Over the decade of the 1980s, the production of gas increased by 20% annually
68
. The market has
been undergoing rapid changes with start of supply from the KG Basin and commissioning of LNG
terminals.

68
www.petroleum.nic.in

The past few years have seen rapid development on all policy and regulatory fronts covering:
Institutional framework
Legal framework
Regulatory framework under Petroleum and Natural Gas Regulatory Board (PNGRB) Act, 2006
Regulations for City Gas Distribution
Regulations for pipelines
Technical and safety standards
Safety guidelines for CNG & PNG distribution
A) INSTITUTIONAL & POLICY FRAMEWORK
There are three main players-Ministries of Petroleum & Natural Gas (MoPNG), Petroleum & Natural Gas
Regulatory Board (PNGRB) and Oil Industry Safety Directorate-dealing with various policy and
regulatory issues in the sector. Until the enactment of the PNGRB Act and notification of the same in
October, 2007, MoPNG has been regulating the exploration, development, production, allocation and
pricing of gas
51
.

MoPNG presently deals with broader policy aspects including strategic planning, oil security, exploration
and development and broader policy issues.
PNGRB has started regulating the downstream segment of the gas industry including the transportation,
distribution and marketing of gas.
As per the Constitution, power for major legislative matters vests with the Central Government. Based
on this, Government of India has been enacting different legislations from time to time dealing with
exploration, refining, processing, storage and transportation, laying of distribution network, controlling
the production, supply and distribution, environment management and pricing of products.
B) REGULATORY DEVELOPMENT
The gas sector has seen significant transformation since opening up of the sector in 1997.
Some of the important recent developments include:
Award of exploration blocks under international competitive bidding as per New Exploration
Licensing Policy (NELP)
Setting up of Petroleum & Natural Gas Regulatory Board (PNGRB) in 2006
Issuance of policy paper on utilization of natural gas (2008)
Issuance of pricing directive under the above policy
In order to attract capital to intensify exploration activities, especially in deepwater and frontier
areas, the Government had announced New Exploration Licensing Policy (NELP). Under the Policy,
Government offered competitive contract and fiscal terms to the investors. Accordingly, the
Production Sharing Contracts (PSCs) signed under NELP provide for marketing freedom to the
Contractor. However, the PSC also provides that the petroleum resources of the country are to be
utilized in the overall interest of the country. The Pre-NELP PSCs also have the same provisions.
Keeping in view the scarcity of natural gas as a natural resource, it is in line with the interests of the
country that natural gas is utilized in the most optimal manner. The Supreme Court of India has
issued directions from time to time regarding utilization of natural gas, which also need to be taken
into account while formulating the Policy. Further, the Model Production Sharing Contract (MPSC)
for NELP-VII provides for Policy for utilization of natural gas amongst different sectors. It has also
been clearly provided in the MPSC that for the purpose of domestic sale obligation, the Contractor
shall have the freedom to market natural gas and sell its entitlement as per Government Policy for
utilization of gas among different sectors.
69

69
Draft policy paper on utilization of natural gas (Feb, 2009) by Government of India

Under this policy, Government has issued orders on:
Prioritization of gas allocation for the different consumer categories like fertilizer, power, steel,
city distribution and others
Pricing of gas

C) GAS ALLOCATION PRIORITY
For the existing consumers the priority has been set as follows:
1. Fertilizers
2. LPG and Petrochemicals
3. Power plants
4. City gas distribution
5. Refineries
6. Other industries
Different rank ordering has been done for greenfield projects:
7. Fertilizers
8. LPG & Petrochemicals
9. City gas distribution
10. Refineries
11. Power plants

The large CHP projects will be treated like power plants and the small CHP projects are part of the city
gas distribution category.

The situation is likely to remain fluid due to the dynamic nature of development of the gas market and
production.

PROBLEM OF PLENTY: RIL CAN PUMP 42 MMSCMD OF GAS BUT OFFTAKE IS ONLY 28 MMSCMD
June 8: Reliance Industries Ltd (RIL) is in a position to pump 42 mmscmd of gas from its D-6 field. The irony is
that it does not have enough customers to sell the gas to. Against a potential availability of 42 mmscmd, off take as
of today is a mere 28 mmscmd.
This is a consequence of government inaction and capacity constraints in gas pipelines. The Empowered Group of
Ministers (EGOM) had allocated 40 mmscmd of gas on a priority basis but a host of constraints has ensured that the
gas is not allocated to those who have been prioritized. In this context, the system of evolving a list of fall-back
customers in case primary customers are not in a position to take gas has not been fully put into place, and this is
what has caused most of the confusion.
"There are customers in refineries and steel plants, among others, which require gas. There are also power plants
too, over an above those who are consuming 18 mmscmd of gas, which require allocations. These have to be
sorted out for RIL to able to push the full quantum of gas into the market," an RIL source told this website.
A proposal is now doing the rounds in the petroleum ministry to do away with the EGOM mechanism for allocation
of gas. "The process is too complicated. Supply priorities cannot be decided quickly as the list has to be approved
by the administrative ministry and then sent to the petroleum ministry which will then put it up before the EGOM.
Instead, what the government should do is to provide the list of priority sectors, and given that there that RIL is in
a position to pump more than what is needed, freedom to chose customers should be left to the petroleum ministry
to decide in consultation with RIL," a petroleum ministry official told this website.

The cogeneration/trigeneration market has still not attracted the required attention of the policy makers.
Sustained campaign by the key stakeholders like vendors and project developers is needed to drive
home the relative merits of the system and get the policy support.
Industry lobby for facilitating policy development needs to be strengthened. Amongst current industries,
who have interest in the development of this market are gas engine makers and vapor absorption chiller
manufacturers. A few real estate developers and some government agencies have taken interest and
initiated feasibility studies.
Only one of the engine vendors Wartsila India Ltd. - is actively working in the policy domain for
sensitizing public in general and policy makers to highlight the importance of developing gas based
distributed generation market.
70

Confederation of India Industries (CII) has prepared a presentation for the Ministry of Power
recommending installation of CHP and Distributed Generation as an integral part of the power capacity
expansion plan.
71

The situation is ripe for engine vendors and VAM chiller manufacturers to form a trade association and
actively participate in the policy arena for development of the cogeneration/trigeneration market.
D) GAS PRICING
Until 1986, the two national exploration companies - Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC) and Oil
India Limited (OIL) - set the price of natural gas. In 1987, Government of India announced an
administered pricing mechanism (APM) based on cost plus basis taking 15% return on investment. This
system continues even today for almost 50% of the gas sold in the market known as APM gas. As per
the policy guidelines, the APM was to be gradually made more market driven linked to a specified fuel
basket. However, this linkage goal was not achieved because of the artificial low consumer price ceiling
set by the Government.
In the current scenario, about 57% of the CGD gas is covered from APM gas. Balance gas is sourced by
the CGD players from the market place.
The prices of gas being sold by private and joint venture sellers are increasingly moving towards full
international price parity. Price trend of market gas in the past few years is shown in the following table.

6.2.3 Estimate of Base Electrical Load
Base electrical load is the total electrical load (kW) of the facility excluding the cooling load in
kW. The total electrical load was determined from multiple sources as per the table below.
The total cooling load estimated for the segment was determined using the energy efficiency
ratio of 2.34 (1.5 kW/TR) for urban government hospitals and 5.02 (0.7 kW/TR) for the rest.

6.2.4 Estimate of Heat to Power Ratio
The ratio of HVAC load in TR to the base load in kW has been calculated to arrive at the heat to power
ratio of each of the individual segment.

6.2.5 Estimate of Unconstrained Potential
After determining the HVAC load in TR and base load in kW for each segment, configuring of the co-
generation plant can be done under two different criteria; the MW approach & the TR approach.
MW approach: Electrical load met from the GE based system with matching co-generated
chilling from VAM and balance TR load met by compression based system-export of power
only during surplus
TR approach: Chilling load fully met from VAM - Extra electrical power generated is exported.

The MW Approach obviously provides better system efficiency at lower investment cost
and is therefore likely to be economically more attractive. However, in the TR approach the
MW capacity is far in excess of power requirement of the segment. The surplus power can
be exported without difficulty because of prevailing supply deficit. At the current gas and
power prices, this option can become financially more attractive.
The present installed capacity in India is about 148000 MW. The potential as worked out
above therefore represents 4-7% of the total installed capacity. This seems to be in line
with the international scenario as can be seen from the following table:

6.3 Assessment of Market Attractiveness
DSCLES has carried out feasibility studies for four different kinds of commercial facilities as follows:
1) Integrated residential and commercial complex in Bangalore
2) State Government Guest House in New Delhi (Tamil Nadu house)
3) Government office complex in Gujarat
4) Commercial business district in New Delhi
The second project is a trigeneration project, whereas others are cogeneration. All the projects have
been found financially attractive with internal rates of return (IRR) ranging from 12-24% depending on
the gas price, load mix and power export revenue. With Carbon benefits the project attractiveness can
further improve.
6.4 Approach for Market Prioritization
The following criterions were analyzed for the development of market attractiveness
Based on cooling market analysis
Building cooling and power load characteristics
Tariff perspective
Power Sale Opportunity
Gas Availability
6.4.1 Prioritization from Cooling Market Analysis
As per the HVAC market analysis in Chapter 3 the total capacity of TRs sold in India in 2007 was 13.01
Million kW (3.7 Million TR); of which 14% is in the domestic sector.
The above analysis projects the market capacity as 5.63 Million kW (1.6 Million TR) (not including stand-
by).
For the sake of prioritization, the above two analyses have been used for drawing the following
conclusions:
Central chiller based units account for 17% of the total TR; which can be an immediate target
market subject to other constraints discussed in the following sections
Ductable split/packaged based segments accounting for 12%; can be a market that can be
targeted in the short term of 1-3 years. This may include some of the segments using unitary
systems
The final segment to be targeted is the segments using unitary systems
6.4.2 Based on Load Characterization
The two most critical parameters that determine the financial attractiveness of trigeneration are
The load profile in terms of TR per kW
The number of hours of use of the building

The simulation of change in the electrical peak load of a facility before and after the implementation of a
trigeneration project depends on the TR/kW ratio of the facility as shown in the graph below:


Figure 29: Impact of TR/kW on peak demand reduction post trigeneration

It can be understood that the impact of the change in a shop, which has a TR/kW ratio of 0.69 is lower
than a hotel, which has a TR/kW ratio of 1.29.

The simulation of change in the annual electricity consumption of a facility before and after the
implementation of a trigeneration project depends on the TR/kW ratio & operating hours of the facility is
as shown in the graph below:

Figure 30: Impact of TR/kW on electricity generation reduction post trigeneration

It can be understood that the impact of the change in an office, which has average annual operating
hours of 3744 is lower than a hotel, which has an annual operating hours of 7920.
Thus the importance of the TR/kW ratio and annual operating hours of a facility can be understood with
respect to the impact of installation of a trigeneration system for the facility.

6.4.3 Tariff Perspective Trigeneration Market Development
The viability of trigeneration projects would depend upon substitution cost of grid power used in the
captive facility and sale of surplus power to the grid. The revenue realization from sale of power can be
assumed to be impacted by the prevalent power tariff in the State/Utility area, where such plants are
installed. The buildings like offices, hospitals, hotels etc. fall under the category of commercial
consumers. The commercial tariff can therefore be considered for determination of sale tariff of power

from the trigeneration plant. The financial attractiveness of the project would be higher in areas where
commercial tariff is high.
The business of power distribution is a state subject and until recently power distribution business was a
State monopoly. Even now except for three states (Orissa, Delhi and Maharashtra), the distribution
licensees in other States are still government owned.
The following table shows the prevalent commercial tariff in the areas, which have been considered for
market assessment for gas based trigeneration projects.

Thus, it is evident that plants newly installed in the areas served by Reliance Infra (in Mumbai) offer best
business opportunities followed by Andhra Pradesh and Delhi. For other regions overall tariff is in
excess of 0.074/kWh. From the financial analysis carried out later in this report it emerges that projects
in all regions would offer attractive investment opportunities as long as the gas price does increase
significantly.

6.4.4 Based on Power Sale Opportunity
Power sale opportunity will be determined considering the present shortages in the state and policy
framework on open access. Almost the entire country has been facing both peak and energy shortages
in various degrees.

The amount of shortage varies every day depending upon the weather conditions and rain fall. As an
example: Delhi has been facing serious shortages due to prevailing hot conditions. But due to heavy
rains on 30
th
August, 2009 demand dropped sharply. Even then, the northern region faced largest
shortage due to heavy drawl by agricultural consumers in some states. Western India also suffers
perennial shortage as would be seen from the prevailing lowest frequency level at 49.65 Hz.
Comparatively, the southern region had more stable grid at 49.98 Hz. This has been the general trend
over the past few years.
From the trigeneration perspective, the western region followed by the Northern region offer attractive
market potentials considering the prevailing high shortages.


SUMMARIZING:

In summary, the scoring points for evaluating the market attractiveness was as follows.

Figure 31: Methodology for calculation of market attractiveness

The figures for the IRR of the projects and operating hours per annum for each of the building were
normalized to a score of a maximum of 10.

The score for financial attractiveness was given a weight of 60% and the annual operating hours was
given a weight of 40%, to arrive at the final score for the market attractiveness.

The following factors were considered while calculating the Project IRR for each building
category
1. Existing tariff of . 0.089 per kWh
2. Tariff for sale of surplus power to grid 0.074 per kWh
3. Average heat to power ratio of the building category

The cogeneration/trigeneration potential for each building segment has been estimated at a city level
except for the hospital and airport segment.
The information on gas grid and city gas distribution were mapped with the above determined city level
potential, to assess the trigeneration potential for regions where gas is available now and for regions
where gas would be available in the near future. The segregation of potential in the hospital and airport
segments was done based on the ratio as the hotel segment and based on the tier level information
available respectively.

The above charts show that the hotel and airport segments prove to be the most attractive. Even though
the office segment is the largest in terms of market size, the financial attractiveness is less primarily due
to lower usage hours of the cooling systems. The office and retail segment can find
cogeneration/trigeneration application through the district cooling route by forming a group and projects
could thus be developed according to the geographic proximity on case to case basis. The hospital
segment, though quite attractive financially and market-wise, is a relatively small market segment in
terms of size compared to the other segments. This can grow in future with increased urbanization and
as more and more specialty hospitals are set up all over the country.

6.5.1 Typical Trigeneration Unit Sizes
The information on typical space of the various segments was collected to assess the unit project level
potential. The following graphs show the size of typical trigeneration unit sizes for projects in the seven

Figure 35: Typical unit sizes for trigeneration projects

Due to the fact that near-term trigeneration units are commonly used as an alternative to VAM in the
next years the technical limitation for the lowest size of trigeneration project in India is defined by the
lowest size of VAM machine available in the Indian market. As a result, since the lowest size of VAM
available in India is 175.8 kW (50 TR), the lowest size of trigeneration project (in terms of gas engine
size) based on gas engine and heat recovery VAM is around 200 kW. The following table shows

The above market assessment revealed that there are between 160 and 100 potential trigeneration
projects in the hotel and hospital sector in seven big cities in India. However, referring to an average
project size of more than 20 MW, the earlier mentioned airport sector would be the ideal target market
for a trigeneration project.


7. Business Development Strategy

The project strategies have been analysed considering regulatory perspectives, investment models and
market players and government regulations covering foreign companies.
7.1 Regulatory Perspectives
The trigeneration projects can be set up under three different models:
Dedicated captive plant
Group/district CHP
Independent power project (IPP)
The main regulatory issues governing the different models are briefly summarized as under.
Almost all the currently installed plants fall into the captive category. Most of these plants operate for
meeting internal demand. Some of these plants do take benefit of higher realization by selling power
through trade under open access.

Main
Activities

Basis Applicability
1. Installation
of a power
generation
plant
No Section 7 of Electricity Act 2003: Any generating company may
establish, operate and maintain a generating station without
obtaining a licence under this Act if it complies with the technical
standards relating to connectivity with the grid referred to in clause
(b) of section 73.
All categories
2. Sale of
surplus
power to
local utility
Yes Tariff approval would be required as per section 62 of the Act:
The Appropriate Commission shall determine the tariff in
accordance with provisions of this Act for
a. supply of electricity by a generating company to a
distribution licensee: Provided that the Appropriate
Commission may, in case of shortage of supply of
electricity, fix the minimum and maximum ceiling of tariff for
sale or purchase of electricity in pursuance of an
agreement, entered into between a generating company
and a licensee or between licensees, for a period not
exceeding one year to ensure reasonable prices of
electricity;
b. transmission of electricity ;
c. wheeling of electricity;
d. retail sale of electricity. Provided that in case of distribution
of electricity in the same area by two or more distribution
licensees, the Appropriate Commission may, for promoting
competition among distribution licensees, fix only maximum
ceiling of tariff for retail sale of electricity.
Mainly for IPPs
3. Sale of
power to
third party
consumers
Yes As per Act, no permission is necessary for third party sale, which is
covered under section 42 as follows:
The State Commission shall introduce open access in such phases
and subject to such conditions, (including the cross subsidies, and
other operational constraints) as may be specified within one year
of the appointed date by it and in specifying the extent of open
access in successive phases and in determining the charges for
wheeling, it shall have due regard to all relevant factors including
such cross subsidies, and other operational constraints: Provided
that such open access may be allowed before the cross subsidies
are eliminated on payment of a surcharge in addition to the charges
Mainly for
Captive and
group captive
plants

for wheeling as may be determined by the State Commission :
Provided further that such surcharge shall be utilised to meet the
requirements of current level of cross subsidy within the area of
supply of the distribution licensee : Provided also that such
surcharge and cross subsidies shall be progressively reduced and
eliminated in the manner as may be specified by the State
Commission: Provided also that such surcharge shall not be
leviable in case open access is provided to a person who has
established a captive generating plant for carrying the electricity to
the destination of his own use.
However, in practice difficulties are being faced in obtaining free
open access either due to genuine technical difficulty on account of
grid congestion or hurdles put up by the utilities on different pretexts
with a view not to lose the highest paying consumers. This issue is
currently being debated at various levels and regulators are working
on how to effectively implement this provision of the Act.
While planning for the trigeneration projects, where power sale is
envisaged either to the utility or third party consumers, it would be
desirable to take regulatory approvals for the tariff for sale to the
utility.
4. Sale by
trade /
power
exchange
Yes Sale through trade is similar to third party sale except that traders
arrange for the third party consumers and open access. The
ultimate consumer pays for the open access charges including
cross subsidy.
Such sale can be done through short term and long term open
access and tariff realization is influenced by the prevailing market
rate for the time block-high during the peak load hours and
moderate for base load and low for non-peak hours.
Tariff is also impacted by the unscheduled interchange rate (UI)
linked to the grid frequency.
As above
5. Tariff
realization
Yes Provision under section 42
Where the State Commission permits a consumer or class of
consumers to receive supply of electricity from a person other than
the distribution licensee of his area of supply, such consumer shall
be liable to pay an additional surcharge on the charges of wheeling,
as may be specified by the State Commission, to meet the fixed
cost of such distribution licensee arising out of his obligation to
supply.
However, for short term open access, rate is determined by the UI
rate.
IPP s require
long term PPA
without which it
becomes
difficult to
achieve
financial
closure.
6. Sale of

tioning
application

consumers
Not

any Act

7. Investment
options
Yes The Act has defined investment criteria for plants under
captive/group captive categories as under:
a. Minimum equity of stake by the captive consumers is
26% of total equity
b. Minimum aggregate consumption of 51% of the overall
power generation by the equity holders
Only for captive
plants


7.2 Investment Options & Issues

The projects can be developed under the following different investment models
1) Captive/group captive - In this case the plant is mainly set up for captive consumption with equity
funding by the consumers and debt funding on the basis of collaterals from the captive consumers
2) IPP - By independent developers on traditional project financing mode
3) Distribution franchisee - Under Section 14 of Electricity Act 2003: No person shall transmit,
distribute or undertake trading in electricity . Provided also that in a case where a distribution
licensee proposes to undertake distribution of electricity for a specified area within his area of
supply through another person, that person shall not be required to obtain any separate licence
from the concerned State Commission and such distribution licensee shall be responsible for
distribution of electricity in his area of supply
4) Energy Services Company (ESCO) - Model can be developed hybridising the concepts of captive
and franchisee. The tariff would be fixed for per unit sale of electricity & chilling/heating load met
separately. These rates may remain linked to the gas price.

The pros and cons of the different arrangement are briefly summarised in the following table.
Table 46: Project Implementation Strategies
Sl
No
Model Pros and Cons
Regulatory perspective Business perspective
1 Captive All necessary processes are in place Predictable cash flow and profitability
Organising equity contribution under group
captive category may cause problem resulting in
delay in project execution
2 IPP All necessary processes are in place Likely lower return as tariff would be determined
as per the set principle by the regulators
3 Franchisee Basic model has been recommended to
promote rural distributed generation
and distribution (DG) concept
The model to be tested for the
Trigeneration projects, the main
market for which would be the urban
areas
Expertise has to be developed in managing the
distribution business
4 ESCO No problem if ESCO model is adopted
by captive consumers involving no
power sale. In case power sale is
envisaged, captive consumers have to
take required equity stake.
Business model can run without equity stake too
but in that case cross subsidy has to be paid if
power is wheeled outside thereby impacting
project profitability
Financially likely to be better option since only
well experienced companies are likely to be the
potential ESCOs
This model can catalyse the market development
faster. The model is likely to generate highest
level of consumer confidence since both
investment and performance risks are covered by
the ESCOs
Cash floe security mechanism has to be
developed to ensure no default in payment by
the consumers.


As already stated above, most of the currently operating projects are under captive category. Other
models are currently under development. In the last few months in 2009, some projects have been
conceived to be developed under different models. Prospective consumers/developers have undertaken
preparation of feasibility reports and interaction with regulators for the same. These include:
1) Small capacity captive project in a State guest house in New Delhi with grant support from GTZ
Apart from establishing techno-economic feasibility, this project envisages wheeling of small
quantity of power for another building located nearby using provision of open access.
2) Large integrated plant under ESCO mode and captive category
Gujarat International Finance Tec-City (GIFT) has been conceptualized as a global financial and IT
services hub is first of its kind in India GIFT conceptualized as a global financial and IT services hub
is first of its kind in India and designed to be at or above par with globally benchmarked financial
centers. It shall be supported by state of the art internal infrastructure to ensure enhanced urban
amenities along with efficient external connectivity. The project envisages setting up a large
capacity trigeneration system to meet the entire utility demand of the complex. The project technical
and business model are still under development though some of the international facility operators
have been informally contacted to evince their interest in the project.
3) District cooling / CHP system in one of the major metro
Two different technology options are being pursued. These are:
a) Installation of an efficient district cooling system to meet the chilling load of the commercial
complexes in the area using conventional electrical compression system.
b) Installation of a 25 MW gas engine based trigeneration system
The project has been initiated by the utility responsible for the area. The options of both ESCO and
Franchisee models are being studied.
4) CHP system for a cluster
The State of Gujarat is considering installation of a trigeneration system to meet the power and
cooling demand of the Government office complex as a captive plant. Here it has been proposed to
develop the project under ESCO mode even if cross subsidy has to be paid for wheeling of surplus
power. Since the project is in the Government sector, it is envisaged that regulators may agree for
waver of cross subsidy.
Based on the above analysis, it is envisaged that the projects would be mostly developed under the
following two modes.

7.4 Government Regulations
The number of foreign companies, both vendors and service providers, has already entered the Indian
market. Government of India is continuously reforming the economic environment to encourage Foreign
Direct Investment (FDI). Detailed procedural guidelines have been issued for the same
78
.
The policy documents cover all aspects for setting up a venture in India by foreign companies either by
themselves or through joint ventures. From the cogeneration/trigeneration business perspectives, the
regulations are very liberal as would be seen from the following specific provisions:
FDI is freely allowed through automatic approval process except for some few specified
activities (cogeneration/trigeneration not in the restrictive category)
No site clearance is required if the investment is less than 15 Million and the proposed
location not falling into ecologically fragile zone and 25 km away from densely populated cities
(over 1 Million)
Industrial license is not required except for specified sectors (cogeneration/trigeneration not in
the restrictive category)
It is therefore possible for any company to enter the Indian market by filing application for FDI through
the automatic approval route.

8. Conclusion
The Indian market offers attractive opportunities for development of the
cogeneration/trigeneration market. The commercial building sector is growing rapidly and
requirement of space conditioning is permanently increasing.
The necessary policy and regulatory framework is in place for attracting investment in the
sector. There has been hurdle in the past in development of this business due to shortage of
gas supply. With expected increased availability of gas from the KG basin and LNG terminals
under development, gas supply scenario is very likely to improve within the next 5 years.
A number of foreign companies including vendors and service providers has already entered
the market, thus paving the way for new companies from Germany to seek investment and
business opportunity in this market.
