The benefits of faster Project execution in various Sectors including Power Sector are enjoyed by other countries. The Group has executed the Artemis Hospital Project & other Projects on fast track and intends to carry on the Power Sector Projects with equally strong Project Management techniques to add Power Generation faster and contribute PTL’s bit to bridge the gap with other contries. The PTL is in an Energy Intensive manufacturing Industry. The competiveness in various parameters have increased, the most important being cost of inputs which includes Cost of Power also. PTL have benchmarked these parameters against the best in the Industry, which includes Power Input also. Captive Power Generation Captive Power Plants (CPPs) for the Industry have come a long way in India. The estimates on captive power capacity in the India vary with the Central Electricity Authority putting the figure at about 12,322 MW while industry experts feel that it is much higher, close to 20,000 MW Industrial sector is one of the largest consumers of Electrical energy in India. However, a number of industries are now increasingly relying on their own generation (captive and cogeneration) rather than on grid supply, primarily for the following reasons: Non-availability of adequate grid supply Poor quality and reliability of grid supply High tariff for the Industry as a result of heavy cross subsidization Reliability of power supply from Captive Plants Provide a source of firm power Status of Captive Power in Tyre Sector: The Tyre Sector comes as a Part of Engineering sector and boasts for a very high of approx. 20.1% of the total Captive Power Plant Capacity. The Industrial houses have now gone in Large Captive power plants of corporate are selling surplus power as Merchant Power to the state electricity boards through 15-25 year power purchase agreements (PPAs) or to other Industry or even selling it through Electricity Trade Exchange.
