Future Prospectus
Infrastructure
Infrastructure is the term for the basic physical systems of a business or nation -
transportation, communication, sewage, water and electric systems are all examples of
infrastructure. These systems tend to be high-cost investments and are vital to a
country's economic development and prosperity. Projects related to infrastructure
improvements may be funded publicly, privately or through public-private partnerships.
Government Initiatives
The Government of India is expected to invest highly in the infrastructure sector,
mainly highways, renewable energy and urban transport, prior to the general elections in
2019.The Government of India is taking every possible initiative to boost the
infrastructure sector. Some of the steps taken in the recent past are being discussed
hereafter.
Announcements in Union Budget 2018-19:
Massive push to the infrastructure sector by allocating Rs 5.97 lakh crore (US$
92.22 billion) for the sector.
Railways received the highest ever budgetary allocation of Rs 1.48 trillion (US$
22.86 billion).
Rs 16,000 crore (US$2.47 billion) towards Sahaj Bijli Har Ghar Yojana
(Saubhagya) scheme. The scheme aims to achieve universal household electrification in the
country.
Rs 4,200 crore (US$ 648.75 billion) to increase capacity of Green Energy
Corridor Project along with other wind and solar power projects.
Allocation of Rs 10,000 crore (US$ 1.55 billion) to boost telecom
infrastructure.
A new committee to lay down standards for metro rail systems was approved in
June 2018.
Rs 2.05 lakh crore (US$ 31.81 billion) will be invested in the smart cities
mission. All 100 cities have been selected as of June 2018.
Contracts awarded under the Smart Cities Mission working in full swing,
according to Mr Hardeep Singh Puri, Minister of State(Independent Charge) for Housing and
Urban Affairs, Government of India.
The Government of India is working to ensure a good living habitat for the poor
in the country and has launched new flagship urban missions like the Pradhan Mantri
AwasYojana (Urban), Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation (AMRUT), and
Swachh Bharat Mission (Urban) under the urban habitat model, according to Mr Hardeep Singh
Puri, Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Housing.
Power Sector
Power is one of the most critical components of infrastructure crucial for the economic
growth and welfare of the nation. The existence and development of adequate infrastructure
is essential for sustained growth of the Indian economy.
India's power sector is one of the most diversified in the world. Sources of power
generation range from conventional sources such as coal, lignite, natural gas, oil, hydro
and nuclear power to viable non-conventional sources such as wind, solar, and agricultural
and domestic waste. Electricity demand in the country has increased rapidly and is
expected to rise further in the years to come. In order to meet the increasing demand for
electricity in the country, massive addition to the installed generating capacity is
required.
In May 2018, India ranked 4th in the Asia Pacific region out of 25 nations on an index
that measures their overall power.
Indian power sector is undergoing a significant change that has redefined the industry
outlook. Sustained economic growth continues to drive electricity demand in India. The
Government of India's focus on attaining Power for all' has accelerated capacity
addition in the country. At the same time, the competitive intensity is increasing at both
the market and supply sides (fuel, logistics, finances, and manpower).
The Road Ahead
The Government of India has released its roadmap to achieve 175 GW capacity in
renewable energy by 2022, which includes 100 GW of solar power and 60 GW of wind power.
The Union Government of India is preparing a rent a roof' policy for supporting its
target of generating 40 gigawatts (GW) of power through solar rooftop projects by 2022.
Coal-based power generation capacity in India, which currently stands at 192 GW is
expected to reach 330-441 GW by 2040.The 2026 forecast for India's non-hydro renewable
energy capacity has been increased to 155 GW from 130 GW on the back of more than expected
solar installation rates and successful wind energy auctions.India could become the
world's first2019, thereby saving Rs 40,000 crore (US$ 6.23 billion) on an annual basis.
The government's immediate goal is to generate two trillion units (kilowatt hours) of
energy by 2019. This means doubling the current production capacity to provide
24x7electricity for residential, industrial, commercial and agriculture use.
The Government of India is taking a number of steps and initiatives like 10-year tax
exemption for solar energy projects, etc., in order to achieve India's ambitious renewable
energy targets of adding 175 GW of renewable energy, including addition of 100 GW of solar
power, by the year 2022. The government has also sought to restart the stalled hydro power
projects and increase the wind energy production target to 60 GW by 2022 from the current
20 GW.
Total installed capacity of power stations in India stood at 343.79 Gigawatt (GW) as on
April, 2018.
Road Sector
The Indian road network, comprising of National Highways, Expressways, State Highways,
Major District Roads, Other District Roads and Village Roads, is globally the 2nd largest
spanning 5.5 million kilometres. India's road infrastructure has seen consistent
improvement in the last few years. Connectivity has improved and road transportation has
become a focus of rapid development. Roads are providing better access to services, ease
of transportation and freedom of movement to people.
Recognizing the significance of a reliable and swift road network in the country and
the role it plays in influencing its economic development, the
Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MORTH) has taken up the responsibility of
building quality roads and highways across the country.
Bharatmala
The programme envisages new initiatives like development of Border and International
connectivity roads, Coastal & port connectivity roads and improvements in National
Corridors
The "mega-plan" which is the second highest highway project after NHDP will
provide further boost to the ongoing road/highway development projects and will witness a
construction of 20,000 km of highways in its first phase.
Around 35,000 km of road construction has been approved in budget 2018-19 for the
Phase-1 of the Bharatmala Pariyojana at an estimated cost of Rs 5.35 lakh crore (US$ 84.10
billion).
The total budgetary allocations (including PBFF, CRF and GBS) to fund the ambitious
highway development programme (including Bharatmala) are estimated at Rs 3,43,045 crore
over FY19-22. Therefore, starting this Budget 2018, the allocation to the road ministry
was expected to increase substantially. However, the increase in the budgetary allocation
(excluding PMGSY) has been nominal at 8.7%, from Rs 64,900 crore to Rs 70,544 crore. Most
of the Bharatmala programme is expected to be implemented through the NHAI; therefore, to
bridge the shortfall in budgetary allocations, the NHAI is expected to raise funds by
monetising more assets through the toll-operate-transfer and Infrastructure Investment
Trust routes (by transferring mature assets to SPVs). Aspiring for urbanisation and
enhanced public investment in social infrastructure, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley made a
slew of announcements for road & air connectivity and improved financing measures for
the same. The Union Budget allowed National Highway Authority of India (NHAI)eate Special
Purpose Vehicles (SPVs) to monetise its road assets. At the same time, budgetary provision
to regional air connectivity scheme was increased by five times.
"Government's estimated budgetary and extra-budgetary expenditure on
infrastructure for 2018-19 is being increased to Rs 5.97 trillion against the estimated
expenditure of Rs 4.94 trillion in 2017-18," Jaitley said in his Budget Speech.
To raise equitycountryto useLEDsforalllightingneedsby from the market for its
mature road assets, NHAI will consider organising its road assets into SPVs and
use innovative monetising structures like Toll, Operate and Transfer (TOT) and
Infrastructure Investment Funds (InvITs). The budgetary allocation for the NHAI has been
increased by 10 per cent to Rs 916.63 billion for 2018-19 from Rs 831.70 billion in
2017-18.
Renewable Energy Sector
The Indian renewable energy sector is the second most attractive renewable energy
market in the world. The country ranks fourth in the world in terms of total installed
wind power capacity.
Installed renewable power generation capacity has increased steadily over the years,
posting a CAGR of 9.29 per cent over FY0818. India added record 11,788 MW of
renewable energy capacity in 2017-18. The focus of Government of India has shifted to
clean energy after it ratified the Paris Agreement. With the increased support of
government and improved economics, the sector has become attractive from investors
perspective. As India looks to meet its energy demand on its own, which is expected to
reach 15,820 TWh by 2040, renewable energy is set to play an important role.Total
installed renewable energy capacity (including large hydro projects) in India touched
114.43 GW as of May 2018, which is around 33 per cent of total energy capacity of the
country. With a potential capacity of 363 gigawatts (GW) and with policies focused on the
renewable energy sector, Northern India is expected to become the hub for renewable energy
in India.
Government initiatives
A new Hydropower policy for 2018-28 has been drafted for the growth of hydro
projects in the country.
The Government of India has announced plans to implement a US$ 238 million
National Mission on advanced ultra-supercritical technologies for cleaner coal
utilisation.
The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) has decided to provide custom
and excise duty benefits to the solar rooftop Economic corridors. sector, which in turn
will lower the cost of setting up as well as generate power, thus boosting growth.
Around 4.96 million household size biogas plants were installed in the country
under the National Biogas and Manure Management Programme (NBMMP) by 2016-17 end.
The Indian Railways is taking increased efforts through sustained energy
efficient measures and maximum use of clean fuel to cut down emission level by 33 per cent
by 2030.
Road Ahead
The Government of India is committed to increased use of clean energy sources and is
already undertaking various large-scale sustainable power projects and promoting green
energy heavily. In addition, renewable energy has the potential to create many employment
opportunities at all levels, especially in rural areas. The Ministry of New and Renewable
Energy (MNRE) has set an ambitious target to set up renewable energy capacities to the
tune of 175 GW by 2022 of which about 100 GW is planned for solar, 60 for wind and other
for hydro, bio among other. India will need investments of around US$ 125 billion to reach
this target. As of June 2018, Government of India is aiming to achieve 225 GW of renewable
energy capacity by 2022, much ahead of its target of 175 GW as per the Paris Agreement It
is expected that by the year 2040, around 49 per cent of the total electricity will be
generated by the renewable energy, as more efficient batteries will be used to store
electricity which will further cut the solar energy cost by 66 per cent as compared to the
current cost. Use of renewables in place of coal will save India Rs 54,000 crore (US$ 8.43
billion) annually.
