The Impact

Concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere is steadily increasing leading to global warming. India is expected to be one of the major contributors to Green House Gases (GHGs) due to increased share of thermal power generation, which is a major contributor to carbon dioxide (CO2) emission. One way to limit these emissions is by implementing some economic instruments like carbon tax or energy tax. This study has been carried out to analyze the impact of carbon tax on the complete Indian power sector network. An Integrated Resource Planning and Analysis (IRPA) model and CPLEX software has been used to carry out the present study.

Integrated Resource Planning

Traditionally, the method used in the electricity generation expansion planning has concentrated only on the supply-side options to identify the sequence of generation additions meet the forecasted demand at a minimum cost. Electricity generation expansion planning with both supply- and demand-side options, commonly known as integrated resource planning are also being used in some developed countries. With growing environmental concerns, especially the emission of air-pollutants from the power generation, demand-side management and clean and efficient generation technology options in the power sector development are getting increasing attention. In this paper, we compare the traditional planning approach with integrated resource planning. We also analyze the implications of CO2 reduction targets for the power sector development in the framework of supply side planning by including clean supply-side technologies as candidate plants. During the planning horizon, generation capacity of 365 MW and a cumulative electricity generation or 61,681 GWh would be avoided through the use of efficient demand-side technologies compared to the business-as-usual (BAU) case. When the clean supply-side options considered in the least-cost planning process, three units of 100-MW biomass-based plants are selected. The long run average cost of generation is found to increase by 0.32, 0.65 and 1.61% at the level of CO2 emission reduction target of 5, 10, and 20%, respectively.

Purpose The purpose was to study how to create employee engagement in the Indian power sector. It also explored the antecedents of employee engagement. Design/methodology/approach Responses were gathered from executives in three companies working at power plants, distribution and transmission offices spread across five districts in the states of Odisha and West Bengal. Findings The research revealed how co-worker trust, supervisor trust and organizational trust all mediate the relationship between organizational culture and employee engagement. The study also compares engagement levels of employees at the three companies. Originality/value The authors say it is crucial to enhance employee engagement by identifying sector-specific factors. The results also help policymakers to appreciate the impact of organizational culture on employee engagement, and formulate appropriate policies.

Direct Tax

The article examines in detail, as a test case, the impact of direct tax incentives on the power sector in India. The Indian power sector is regulated and has been the greatest beneficiary of the various tax incentives. Direct taxes foregone to the power companies alone are estimated to be ₹700,000 million during the fiscal year 2006–2007 to 2014–2015. The power companies in India have enjoyed profit-linked tax holidays (Section 80 IA), accelerated depreciation (Section 32), easy accessibility of external commercial borrowings and a low withholding tax of 5 per cent on overseas borrowing. The study does a ‘three-way examination’ of the impact of the tax incentives by examining: (i) macroeconomic indicators, (ii) firm level data and (iii) micro-indicators. The findings are that (i) there is no evidence of any real benefits accruing to the economy either in the form of increased foreign direct investment (FDI) flows to the sector, gross fixed capital formation (GFCF) in the sector or commensurate growth in electricity sector vis-à-vis other sectors of the economy or in the economy as a whole due to the several decades of direct tax incentives to the power sector in India; (ii) clearly, the loss of revenue from the tax incentives is real and substantial and (iii) the financial ratios of the three power companies (National Thermal Power Corporation [NTPC], Tata Power and Reliance Energy) indicate that they are capable of raising resources on their own and the theory of market failure may not apply to them.
