Power capacity addition fails, but generation improves
Poor capacity addition continued in December that witnessed only 233 mw being commissioned, against 250 mw in November and less than a tenth of More>>

Power capacity addition dips in September
September saw power capacity addition dip to only 250 mw-all thermal, from 750 mw in July and 1,050 mw in August. In fact, meeting only a half of the targeted addition, this was the lowest monthly addition during the current fiscal. Because of the sub-optimal performance, capacity addition in the second quarter declined to 2,075 mw, from 2,358 mw in the first quarter. Nevertheless, the total capacity augmentation in H1 amounted to 4,433 mw, which though was a little more than two-thirds the fructification planned for the period, was more than twice the addition in the corresponding first half of 2008-09. Actually, 2008-09, which had seen only 3,454 mw of commissioned capacity had terribly underperformed, vis-à-vis targets. More>>

Top line of six equipment companies soars 14% in Q1

The first three-and-a-half months of the current fiscal has seen a nominal decline in WPI. Obviously, massive power sector additions, though short of target, remains robust enough to provide a healthy market for power equipment manufacturers. More>>
