Indian economy is growing as one of the fastest economies in the world and hence naturally the demand for energy in particular, electricity is also increasing rapidly, says about 8-9% every year. Indian Electricity consumption is at the sixth position globally with 606 units per capita and consumption per capita per annum and is expected to increase to increase to 1000 units by 2012.
Rapid industrialization, rapid urbanization, increase in per capita consumption as well as increasing population, all put together are driving rapid increase in requirement of power. Hence there is increasing opportunities for private sector to enter into the area of power generation and distribution. To further support this, the Union Government is contemplating according the status of infrastructure to power generation utilities.
At Bengal Energy, we are generating 40 MW of Power with 0.6 MTPA LAM Coke Production capacity. The Technology applied is waste heat recovery.
