WHY PRIVATE SECTOR PARTICIPATION?
Most Favourite for Infrastructure1. Funds – Private Investment & Foreign
Investment2. Viability – Investors and lenders make long term
commitment3. Efficiency – Balance of Construction &
Operation costs.4. Transfer of advanced technology5. Good management6. Speed of Construction7. Standards & Performance of facility

MAJOR CONCERNS/ISSUES IN POWER SECTOR
• STATE ELECTRICITY BOARDS (SEB)- CREDIT WORTHINESS
- UNBUNDLING OF SEBs
- HIGH T&D LOSSESTechnical Commercial Total
Andhra Pradesh 23% 13% 36%
Madhya Pradesh 25% 22% 47%
(Based on latest study by ICRA and CRISIL)
- UNMETERED SUPPLY
- LOW COLLECTION EFFICIENCY
- LOW EFFICIENCY OF SEB’s POWER PLANTS
(SEBs - 62%(approx.), Central Sector - 72%)
41
ISSUES IN POWER SECTOR (Contd..)LOW AGRICULTURE/DOMESTIC TARIFF.SEBs REQUIRE GOVT. SUPPORT FOR MEETING DEFECIT
LIMITED ESCROWABLE CAPACITY OF SEBs
DELAY IN OBTAINING GOVT. CLEARANCES LEADING TO TIME & COST OVERRUNS.
REVISION OF PPAs BY SEBs EVEN AFTER FINANCIAL CLOSURE
42
ISSUES IN POWER SECTOR (Contd.)
• RATIONALISATION OF STAMP DUTY RATES PREFERABLY BY FIXING A CAP AS IS DONE IN STATES LIKE GUJARAT, MAHARASHTRA & MP ETC. TO ENABLE THE IPPs TO CREATE ENGLISH MORTGAGE
• STANDARDISATION OF TENDERING PROCEDURE FOR COMPETITIVELY BID PROJECTS
• EXPOSURE LIMITS FOR FIs
• ABSENCE OF ACTIVE SECONDARY DEBT MARKET FOR SECURITISATION OF ASSETS
43
ISSUES IN POWER SECTOR (contd..)
•BOTTLENCKS IN AVAILABILITY / TRANSPORTION OF FUEL
•ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES - EFFECTS OF FLY ASH, THERMAL DISCHARGE AND EFFLUENTS ON FLORA, FAUNA ETC.
- RESETTLEMENT AND REHABILITATION OF AFFECTED PERSONS ESPECIALLY FOR HYDRO PROJECTS
44
ISSUES REGARDING POWER TARIFF
• LOW AGRICULTURE / DOMESTIC TARIFF
• HIGH COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL TARIFF
• AGRICULTURE / DOMESTIC TARIFF BEING SUBSIDISED BY HIGH INDUSTRIAL TARIFF
• HIGH INDUSTRIAL TARIFF LEADS TO HIGHER COST OF PRODUCTION IN POWER INTENSIVE INDUSTRY
45
POWER TARIFF ISSUES (Contd..)
• POWER INTENSIVE INDUSTRY PRODUCTS WOULD BE LESS COMPETITIVE IN GLOBAL SCENARIO.
• POWER INTENSIVE MANUFACTURING SECTOR WOULD ALSO REQUIRE SUBSIDY FROM GOVT. FOR COMPETITIVENESS.
• SEBs REQUIRE SUBSIDY FROM GOVT. TO MEET CASH FLOW DEFECIT (Rs.34000 CRORES IN THE YEAR 1999-2000)
46
REFORMS & RESTRUCTURING OF SEBS
RESTRUCTURING OF SEBs- UNBUNDLING/CORPORATISATION OF OF SEBs IN TO GENERATION, TRANSMISSION & DISTRIBUTION COMPANIES.- PRIVATISATION OF DISTRIBUTION ZONES/COMPANIES• SETTING UP OF STATE ELECTRICITY REGULATORY COMMISSION (SERC)- OPERATIONALISATION OF SERC - ISSUING OF TARIFF ORDERS• REFORMS TO IMPROVE OPERATIONAL/FINANCIAL PARAMETERS OF SEBs- IMPROVING THE T&D INFRASTRUCTURE AND 100% METERING.
47
REFORMS OF SEBS (contd..)
- ESTIMATION OF T&D LOSSES AND REALISTIC TIME FRAME FOR REDUCTION OF LOSSES - IMPROVING BILLING & COLLECTION EFFICIENCY- ENERGY AUDIT• MAJOR MILESTONES PROPOSED FOR REFORMS
- 100% METERING
- T&D LOSS REDUCTION
- T&D SYSTEM AUGMENTATION
- ENERGY AUDIT
- IMPROVEMENT IN COLLECTION EFFICIENCY
- COMPUTERISATION OF BILLING
48
REFORMS (contd..)
-IMPROVEMENT IN PLF & AVAILABILITY OF SEB PLANT
- RATIONALISATION OF TARIFF BY REDUCING CROSS SUBSIDY.

P O R T S

MAJOR CONCERNS
• Mortgaging of jetty area in favour of lenders as security for financial assistance.
Limitation for fixing tariffs by the sponsors at major ports.
Requirement of explicit provision under major ports trust act for private sector participation.
Environmental issues: affect on estuaries and coastal zone flora, fauna, etc.
Labour is extremely unionized in ports and oppose modernization
51
MAJOR CONCERNS: Contd…
Insufficient back-up land for bulk cargo storage /container yards at ports.
• Lack of road and railway linkage between ports and hinterland.
52
REFORMS contd..
• National Port AuthorityEnsuring a well defined process with
clear objective and firm political commitment for and towards port reforms.
Ensuring sound, stable and pro-active regulatory framework with appropriate regulatory procedures.
53
REFORMS contd..
• Privatisation New capacity addition should come entirely
through the private sector. Encourage private sector participation in new
terminals at existing ports including cargo handling services.
Encourage private sector participation in Port Services, like Labour, Pilotage, Towage etc.
Encourage private participation in minor port / green field projects.
54
REFORMS contd..
Excess Port Labour and Labour reforms Initiate labour reforms and improve labour
relations Compensate port labour suitably while going
ahead with the privatisation process Need to buyout existing labour keeping pace
with improvements in cargo handling technology
55
REFORMS contd..
• Connectivity Development of infrastructure linkages to the
hinterland, like Railway and Road network for smooth and faster movement of cargo.
• Bankable concessions for port projects Ensuring adequate security for loans by
allowing mortgaging of the "Marine works" and other assets like land acquired in Lender's favour.
56
ROADS & BRIDGES
57
ISSUES• Land acquisition and resettlement: normally lead to
delay in project completion and higher contingency provisions.
• Leakage in toll collection.• Resistance by users to pay tolls• Alternative routes increase uncertainty in toll
collections• Absence of security by way of mortgage to lenders.• Environmental issues: felling of roadside trees,
increase in noise pollution, drainage of the area .
58
PROCUREMENT PROCESS•Small Projects- Bridges, By pass-Tolls are fixed- Minimum Concession period criteria for selection.
•Large Projects- (4 laning)
•Tolls are fixed and concession period are fixed- minimum upfront grant criteria for selection.
•Annuity Based Projects-Concession period fixed , min. annuity payable biannually criteria for selection.
