April04, 2017 (C) Ravinder Singh progressindia2015@gmail.com

It is important that Piyush Goyal tell facts to the nation than false Political Comments .

In ET news at the end I was stunned to see only except for NTPC and GSEC rest of the beneficiaries of Subsidized LNG were Private Companies.

‘NTPC, Ratnagiri Gas & Power, Torrent Power, GVK Industries, Lanco Kondapalli, GMR Energy, Gujarat State Electricity Corp, and CLP India.’

Study of Power Sector progress in Gujarat revealed –

1.  To meet 50% growth in Electricity required by Gujarat – state installed 160% new Generation Capacity.

2.  Unrestricted demand in 2007-08 was 12,575 MW, energy catered was 66,569 MU and peak demand in FY2017 is 14,724 MW only and Energy supplied is 94,365 BU. [Generation minus EHT Losses] 

Gujarat – Demand Growth 17% in 9 Years 

3.  What is even more startling is that Unrestricted Demand of 12,575 MW in 2007-08 was met in 2012-13 after 5 years to current peak of 14,724 MW.

4.  Piyush Goyal through Power Grid invested Heavily in Gujarat to let Private Players sell their Surplus Power to any part of the country. 

5.  When April2008 Peak Demand was well over 12,000 MW power supplied was just 8000 MW. [Chart Clipped next page.] 

6.  Though Piyush Goyal has withdrawn the Subsidy Scheme to mostly Private Players of Gujarat & Maharashtra – about 18 Cr LPG consumers pay more than double cost of Imported LPG cost. 

7.  India is Importing LPG for sale to Poor Families and the Gas Pipeline shall originate in Gujarat. Why not East Coast? 

Thermal Power Plants that Operated at 85%

in 2008 now Operate at 53% Load Factor.

 

Reports didn’t provide details of Capital Investment in Gujarat by Private and PSU companies.
