Final Report Fiscal Issues and Allocative Efficiency National Transport Development Policy Committee July 2012 Project Team Project Leader Rajesh Chadha Research Team Sourabh Bikas Paul Anjali Tandon Computer and Design Support Praveen Sachdeva Library Support B.B. Chand Secretarial Assistance Sudesh Bala FOREWORD An efficient and reliable transport system is an absolute necessity for the Indian economy’s rapid growth. Without that, both the goods and service sectors suffer in their domestic and global competitiveness. Indian policymakers have woken up to this fact. As the economy aspires to near double-digit growth rates over the next decade, and to recover from the current slide in the growth rate, huge investments are required in roads, railways, ports, and aviation. While the public sector can continue to play a role in building and maintaining transport infrastructure, policymakers have recognised the financial and managerial need for a much bigger role for the private sector and for public–private partnerships (PPP) if India is to have the transport infrastructure it so badly needs. India’s transport intensity—the share of transport services in total production costs--- is the highest among a group of eleven developed and developing countries. It is 11 per cent higher than in South Africa, 14 per cent higher than in China, and 38 per cent higher than in Brazil. These differences suggest that the Indian economy is far less efficient in its use of transport services than its BRICS comparators. The primary objective of this NCAER study commissioned by the National Transport Development Policy Committee was to comprehensively document and analyse the role of taxes and user charges in the Indian transport sector. The second objective of the study was to evaluate the potential gains to the economy if transport services become more efficient through the removal of inefficient taxes and other policy distortions. India’s complex tax regime and its current transport pricing systems are a culmination of overlapping, multiple taxes and user charges established over time and varying between the Centre and states and across transport modes. This complexity is an analyst’s nightmare, and adds substantially to the public and private sector’s cost of doing business by magnifying the inefficiency of the transport sector. A complex and inefficient tax regime in transport in turn adversely impacts the efficient allocation of productive resources because of the strong backward and forward linkages between the transport sector and the rest of the economy. Against this complexity, this study is the first comprehensive attempt at documenting and assessing this complex tax regime as it affects the transport sector. It can be a major step forward in exploring how more rationality and simplification can be brought to the regulatory and tax regimes in transport. For its second objective, the current complexity of India’s tax regime makes it impossible to use more conventional economic tools for assessing the potential overall gains to the economy if inefficient taxes and other policy distortions are removed. As an alternative approach, this study uses a computable general equilibrium model of the Indian economy to assess and quantify the impact of improving the efficiency of India’s transport sector. The results show consistent welfare gains through such improvements. There are underlying gains in trade and output, and the real returns to land, labour, and capital increase. Strong positive effects are observed in the manufacturing sectors, particularly those that are heavy users of transport. Finally, enhanced transport efficiency lowers the demand for energy and leads to environmentally friendly welfare gains. A uniform and transparent tax and pricing regime would greatly facilitate the efficiency gains of a more integrated common market in India, a move that is long overdue given the size of the economy and the aspirations for its continued rapid growth. I hope that the NCAER study’s recommendation for establishing a task force on transport taxes and user charges will be taken seriously and can begin to bring some order to India’s complex transport tax regime. In ending, I would like to thank Dr Rajesh Chadha and his team for this i highly timely and policy-relevant NCAER study and the NTDPC for requesting this important study from NCAER.

    Věc: Indie - energetický profil 1. Skladba energetického mixu 1.1. Celková nabídka primárních zdrojů energie – TPES Indický energetický sektor je velmi diverzifikovaný. Primárním zdrojem energie jsou jak konvenční zdroje (uhlí, lignit, zemní plyn, ropa, voda a jádro), tak i nekonvenční zdroje (vítr, slunce, zemědělský a komunální odpad). V roce 2015 bylo procentuální složení výroby elektrické energie následující: 69-70 % tepelné elektrárny, 15 % vodní elektrárny, 2 % jaderné elektrárny a 13 % obnovitelné zdroje. Indie je 5. největším výrobcem elektřiny na světě. Indie je zároveň 4. největším spotřebitelem energie na světě po Číně, USA a Rusku. Populace Indie se blíží počtu obyvatel Číny, ale energetická spotřeba Indie je pouhá jedna čtvrtina spotřeby Číny. V roce 2016 činí poptávka po elektřině cca 155 GW.

Swaminathan World Scientific Publishing Company: 2009 CHAPTER 6 INDIA’S AVIATION SECTOR: DYNAMIC TRANSFORMATION John Kasarda* and Rambabu Vankayalapati† Introduction India is no longer a country of promise — it has arrived, and in a big way. Not long ago regarded as a relatively closed and staid demographic giant, the nation has emerged over the past decade as “open for business,” quickly joining global leaders in everything from IT and BPO to financial services and medical tourism. As India’s integration into the global economy accelerated, so did its annual GDP growth rate, averaging over 8% since 2003. In the fiscal year 2007, its GDP expanded by 9.4% and was forecasted to remain above 9% for the next three years.40 Foreign investment concurrently mushroomed, posi- tioning India as number two in the world (behind China) as the preferred location for FDI. Net capital inflows (FDI plus long-term commercial debt) exceeded USD24 billion. The country’s explosive economic growth has yielded a burgeoning middle class in which higher incomes have led to sharp rises in purchases of automobiles, motorbikes, computers, mobile phones, TVs, refrigerators, and branded con- sumer goods of all types. Rapidly rising household incomes have also generated a burst in air travel, both domestic and international. In just three years from 2003–2004 to 2006–2007, commercial aircraft enplanements in India rose from 48.8 million to nearly 90 million, a growth rate of almost 25% annually.

    REGIONAL DEVELOPMENTS THROUGH AVIATION IN INDIA—CREATION OF NEW REGIONAL AIRPORTS AND REGIONAL AIRLINES —CreationRegionalCurrent Developments in Air and SpaceDevelopments Lawof new Regional through airports aviation and Regionalin India airlines Debabrat Mishra* Introduction One of the fastest growing aviation industries in the world is Indian Aviation Industry. With the liberalization of the Indian aviation sector, a rapid revolution has undergone in Indian aviation industry. Primarily it was a government-owned industry, but now it is dominated by privately owned full service airlines and low cost carriers. Around 75% share of the domestic aviation market is shared by private airlines. Earlier only few people could afford air travel, but now it can be afforded by a large number of people as it has become much cheaper because of stiff competition. The civil aviation traffic has seen an unprecedented traffic in the past few years on account of booming Indian economy, growing tourism industry, and entry of low cost carriers in the private sector, liberalization of international bi-lateral agreements and liberalization of civil aviation policy. In future also the civil aviation traffic is expected to grow at the same pace despite current slowdown due to global recession. But airport infrastructure has not kept pace with the growth of the civil aviation traffic. This has resulted in congestion and inefficient services in major airports, limited landing slots, inadequate parking bays and congestion during peak hours for airlines. Development of quality infrastructure will have an impact on international competitiveness and economic growth. This requires faster development of civil aviation infrastructure on public private partnership mode.

    A Study of Mergers & Acquisitions in Aviation Industry in India and Their

    A Study of Mergers & Acquisitions in Aviation Industry in India and Their Impact on the Operating Performance and Shareholder Wealth Nisarg A Joshi Ahmedabad Institute of Technology Jay M Desai Ahmedabad Institute of Technology ABSTRACT The objective of this paper is to study, why organisations take the inorganic mode of expansion. However, the main focus is on studying the operating performance and shareholder value of acquiring companies and comparing their performance before and after the merger. To conduct a uniform research and arrive at an accurate conclusion, we restrict our research to only Indian companies. To get a perspective on India, we study aviation sector. We will test feasibility that mergers improve operating performance of acquiring companies. However on studying the cases, we conclude that as in previous studies, mergers do not improve financial performance at least in the immediate short term. INTRODUCTION The air travel market grew up originally to meet the demand of business travelers as companies became increasingly wide-spread in their operations. On the other hand, rising income levels and extra leisure time led holidaymakers to travel to faraway places for their vacation. A further stimulus to the air travel market was provided by the deregulation and the privatization of the aviation industry. State- owned carriers that hitherto enjoyed monopoly status were now exposed to competition from private players. However, one development that changed the entire landscape of the industry was the emergence of low cost carriers (LCCs). These carriers were able to offer significantly cheaper fares on account of their low-cost business models and thereby attract passengers who might not otherwise be willing to fly.
