Lowering carbon emissions, improving plant efficiencies, need for technological upgradations – strong business case surfacing up for maintenance, repair and overhaul services in Indian energy segment
Government has identified 7,738 MW of old/aging thermal power units that shall be replaced with energy-efficient supercritical plants with a capacity of 18,560 MW. Under this initiative, the state power generation utilities have marked out 6,608 MW of aging capacity which will lead to the creation of 16,580 MW. The central utilities have marked about 1,130 MW for replacement that will create 1,980 MW of energy efficient capacity
India, historically has been dependent upon coal based thermal generation at large to meet its base load requirements which indeed is a polluting source of energy generation. Moreover, aging thermal power units, falling plant efficiencies, rising power demand and the need for meeting global environmental standards is diverting the existing thermal power generation market more towards upgrading and modernizing the existing units than adding up the fresh capacities. Infact about 17 GW of state and centrally owned thermal power capacity was targeted to be upgraded and modernize by the end of 12th FYP. Having said that close to 2 GW of the total targeted capacity has been renovated so far creating an immediate market opportunity for approximately 15.2 GW of carry over capacity to be modernize. Apart from this, the thermal power units that are already hitting the operational age of 10-15 years do hold significant business potential for repair and maintenance in the years to come. Not only the thermal power units but the oil marketing companies (OMCs) too are investing big in the technological upgradation, expansion and overhauling of existing refineries. It is pertinent to note that an investment to the tune of approximately USD 5.2 Billion, is what Indian refining industry is anticipating till 2020 in developing its brownfield refineries.
