After the initial euphoria with regard to allowing the entry of private and foreign capital into the power sector, the promised guaranteed return on net worth, liberal financing facilities, a higher than usual debt equity norm, the Government is now waiting for the flood to arrive. How realistic are the expectations of the Government can be made out by the response of the private sector. Till date, there is less than 1000 MW of generation capacity under active implementation in the private sector, mainly by those companies, which are already involved in power generation and distribution. There are very few new actors entering the business. According to power ministry sources, there are proposals to put up more than 8000 MW of generation capacity in the private sector out of which about 50% will be with foreign investment. But how many of these proposals will materialise? Many of them are merely undergoing viability studies or are restricted to the signing of memoranda of understanding with the respective government agencies. As regards foreign investment in this sector, the less said the better. The 2000MW project in Orissa, which was announced with great fanfare by the State Government, is now in the dumps because the Southern power Corporation, USA, decided to back out of it. It has also been the experience that while foreign companies are willing to extend credit, supply equipment and set-up the generation facilities, they are not so forthcoming when it comes to equity participation and running the plants. At this rate, it is unlikely that there will be any substantial addition to generation capacity in the private sector in the Ninth plan, leave alone the English plan.

(a) It expects it to go up by 100% (b) It expects it to go up by 80% (c) It expects it to go up by 50% (d) Data inadequate in the passage 53.
