The government needs to take strong measures to help the debt-ridden distribution companies, whose miseries are being compounded by low tariffs and reluctance of banks to finance - given their perception of the sector as unviable.Tariffs are expected to rise once the Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (CERC) approves a hike in the unit price of electricity sold to customers. Many power utilities, including NTPC -- the country’s largest power generating company -- have been demanding an increase in power tariffs amidst rising input costs. However, the impending General Elections in 2014 may prove an obstacle to CERC’s move.
SNP Infra Research Solutions in its capacity as a premium research organization will soon be releasing a new report on the "Power Tariffs in India: 2012-13”.
The report will provide an insight into the latest tariffs (2012-13) applicable in each of the states in comparison with (2011-12).
It will also capture the percentage change in tariffs.
This 286 page report would contain an in-depth analysis of the all the components of the sector.
This report is a must buy for financial institutions, central power players, EPC companies, banks, project financiers and investments bankers, technical and environmental consultants, power developers, power exchanges, power traders, infrastructure companies, research companies, consultants, independent researchers.
