“The proposals for power sector presage a positive direction, to enhance energy security through renewable energy sources with both large scale projects and distributed projects, and transmission lines connecting green energy corridors to load centers. The proposal to channel coal supply to projects commissioned by financial year end is a positive step given limitations in increasing coal output in the short-term. This should help existing generating thermal projects improve viability and add to power supply. Further, extension of the ten-year tax holiday to 2017 should encourage new investments especially private sector, across all segments of generation, transmission, and distribution.”
