CHAPTER 2
INDUSTRY PROFILE
Analysais of Indian power sector
The critical role played by the power industry in the economic progress of a country has
to be emphasized. A self sufficient power industry is vital for a nation to achieve
economic stability.
India had been traditionally depending on thermal power as a major source of power
generation, which constitutes about 65 percent of current capacity. Balance is contributed
by Hyde power (26 percent), Nuclear (3 percent) and Renewable energy (6 percent).
Over 87 percent of the current installed capacity in the country is by the government;
with the state governments having lion’s a share of over 52 percent and the balance by
central (federal) government. Due to the initiative of government of India to encourage
Public Private Partnerships in power sector, share of private companies has gone up to
steadily to MW, about 13 percent of the installed capacity.
Indian Power Sector Analysis” focuses on the growing marketplace for power sector in
India. It thoroughly investigates the current market trends, evolving markets, and growth
prospects for the Indian power industry. It will help the client to analyze the driving
forces and leading-edge opportunities critical to the success of the power industry.
Indian Power Industry
AISHWARYA INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES & RESEARCH Page 3
Pre-Independence
The British controlled the Indian power industry firmly before Independence. The then
legal and policy framework was conducive to private ownership, with not much
regulation with regard to operational safety.
Post Independence
Immediately after Independence, the country was faced with capacity restraint. India
adopted a socialist structure for economic growth and all the major industries were
controlled by public sector enterprises. By 1970's India had nationalized most of its
energy assets, due to its commitment to social goals. By the late 1980's the Indian
economy felt the strain of the socialist agenda followed since independence. Faced with a
serious deterioration in public finance and balance of payment crisis, the Union
government as part of its policy of economic liberalization allowed greater investment by
private sector in the power industry.
The various types of Power
Non Renewable Energy
Fossil fuels
The Industrial Revolution in Europe in the 19th century forced human's to seek
alternative sources of fuel to cater to the increasing demand. Focus was shifted to fossil
fuels as an alternate source of energy. Fossil fuels were formed millions of years ago.
They are nothing but fossilized organic remains that after millions of years has been
converted into oil, gas and coal. Because this process takes a long time, they are known
as non renewable.
1.
Coal
AISHWARYA INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES & RESEARCH Page 4
It is the most easily available fossil fuel in the world. It is mostly carbon and is used as a
combustion fuel, especially after the Industrial Revolution. Coal can further be divided
into lignite, bituminous and anthracite. Lignite and Bituminous have lesser percentage of
carbon and therefore burn faster. They are not environmentally friendly, Whereas
Anthracite has about 98% carbon and therefore burns slowly and is more environmentally
friendly.
Oil and Gas
Oil and Gas is mostly found in underground rocks. Millions of years ago when plants and
animals died, they got buried in layers of mud and sand. The earth's crust changed its
shape and put immense pressure and heat on the dead plants and animals. Over a period
of time, the energy in those plants and animals changed into hydrocarbon liquids and
gases.
Renewable Energ
Because of the environmentally disastrous effect of non renewable energy, an alternate source of energy which would not pollute the environment and which can also be renewed was tapped. They are known as renewable energy.
Solar Energy
It is the most easily available renewable resource. After the oil shock in 1970's many
countries conducted research work to tap solar energy. It is believed in the next few years
millions of consumers across the world would switch to solar energy. In India the Indian
Renewable Energy Development Agency and the Ministry of Non Conventional Energy
Sources are devising strategies to encourage the usage of solar energy.
Hydra Energy
Energy available in fast flowing water can be used to generate electricity. Waves occur
due to the interface of the wind with surface of sea and represent a transfer of energy.
This energy can be tapped for commercial purpose.
AISHWARYA INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES & RESEARCH Page 5
Hydro Power
It is the one of the best, cheapest and cleanest source of power, though large dams could
have environmental and social repercussions. In view of these problems associated with
larger dams, experts have advocated the construction of smaller dams. New
environmental laws to safeguard the planet from the effects of global warming have made
smaller hydropower Projects more viable.
Wind Energy
It is the kinetic energy used for many centuries in water sports like sailing and for
irrigation. It converts kinetic energy into more usable forms of power. Wind turbines help
to convert the energy in the wind into mechanical energy which can be used for
generating power. Since the late 1980's the viability of wind energy has gained in
prominence across the globe.
Nuclear Energy
Nuclear energy can be created in nuclear reactors under strict human control. The nuclear
power can be generated by the fission of uranium, plutonium or thorium or the fusion of
hydrogen into helium. Nowadays mostly Uranium is used for generating nuclear power.
Findings of Power Sector
More than 64% of India’s total installed capacity is contributed by thermal power.
Significant jump in unit size and steam parameters will result in higher
efficiencies and better economics for the Indian power sector.
Western region accounts for largest share (30.09%) of the installed power in
India followed by Southern region with 27.76%.
AISHWARYA INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES & RESEARCH Page 6
Unbalanced growth remains the cause of concern for the Indian power sector.
Only about 56% of households have access to electricity, with the rural access
being 44% and urban access about 82%.
Southern region remains the dominant region in renewable energy source
accounting for more than 57% of the total renewable energy installed capacity.

FINDINGS
Recruitment has been stopped in BHEL-EDN since 1985 and is being done only
in some selected areas.
BHEL-EDN does not approach the customer instead it waits for the customer to
come to it since its products are priced higher than other players in the field so it
thinks that those who can afford its products will automatically approach it.
Because of computerization there is cost reduction in the form of reduction in
paper work and also quickness of action.
BHEL is being showing consistent growth prospective.
BHEL-EDN is managing its Human Resources and marketing very effectively by
conducting various types of training and other sessions.

CHAPTER-8
SUGGESTIONS & RECOMMENDATION
Very important of all is the marketing department function that is it has to do good
advertisement and build brand awareness in the market.
Job rotation, job enlargement, job enrichment needs to be done frequently in EDN,
which would motivate an employee to do better.
As BHEL faces a tough competition from the Private firms it must formulate better
policies that attract customers.
In order to survive and to be a leader BHEL needs to come out new products
continuously and increase its product line.
It needs young upgraded work force than an older force so it needs to replace them
gradually as time permits.
It needs to also eliminate the excess work force.
Though strictly mentioned about the safety adherence the employee’s neglect the
same, workers should be advised to use the safety kit.
Finished goods are packed and placed in the open area, thus, storage facility to be
improved.
Promotion to be given based on work efficiency.
Provide neat and clean rest rooms nearby to HRD department.
Technology in this regard is available with BHEL while ABL would be able to
offer the same with back up from their collaborators.

CHAPTER-9
LEARNING EXPERIENCE
I enhanced my knowledge by working in Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited. I learned
many new aspects which I was unaware. I learned the functions of the company in
different areas of production. The interaction with company’s employees and staff has me
an insight and firsthand experience of the industrial scenario in the competitive
environment of the company.
In the beginning I was given a brief explanation on the number of departments and their
respective heads. In the subsequent weeks I went to different departments and was able to
understand the importance of each department and their contribution towards the
achievement of the company’s objective. I also learned how the company always tries to
feel the pulse of the customers, as they are the purpose of the business.
The atmosphere was so friendly and co-operative that I did not find any tinge of difficulty
the whole training period of four weeks which have me a great deal of information and
knowledge.

CHAPTER-10
CONCLUSION
Public sector units will have to resort to quality improvement techniques and get more
interested in what the customer wants rather than what the Company can offer in order to
retain their customer base and get new customers.
To remain competitive and meet customers’ expectations, BHEL lays great emphasis on
the continuous up gradation of products. BHEL’s commitment to advancement of
technology is reflected in its involvement in the development of futuristic technologies
like fuel cells and super conducting generators. BHEL’s investment in R&D is amongst
the largest in the corporate sector in India.
The electronics division of Bhel was formed in 1976 growing from a merger turnover of
RS 3 crore in 1976-77 to 500 Crores approximately in 2000-2001; BHEL EDN has
entered a new phase of growth. Its quick progress was aided by the collaborations with
international leaders in the field of power and control electronics.
Looking from its commanding height, BHEL-EDN sees exciting things happening
Stoday in the field of automation and power electronics and like any young adventure, it
is eager and ready to cover new terrain.
