Power Generation

The power industry plays a significant role in promoting the economy of any country, across the world. Power generation is one of the biggest industries in India. The Indian electricity sector has made remarkable progress in the last five decades in the field of generation, transmission, distribution and utilization of electricity. Today, several government entities, as well as private organizations, have taken up the task of power generation in India. However, the demand for electricity has always been more than supply. The projected power requirement, by the year 2012, is per capita consumption of 1000 units per annum. The capacity utilization and the hence improved efficiency are the key indicators to success in this industry.
