The UN Sustainable Development Goals aim to ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all by 2030 (SDG7), a target that will help the last 1 billion people experience the power of electricity. The world is witnessing an abundance of power generation, thanks to the Renewables revolution. Transmission of power holds the key to successfully meeting this goal. Renewable power generation comes online at a record pace, at a fraction of the time taken by thermal generation. Transmission infrastructure will need to keep pace with this “new normal” to be relevant. In addition, finding space to build Greenfield transmission projects will be increasingly difficult in a rapidly urbanizing world. Finally, given the intermittency of renewables, need for transmission capacity is much higher compared to the thermal-only world. The scale of capital required to finance this transmission capacity is daunting. In short, these are the three primary challenges of time, space and capital faced by the transmission sector globally. Sterlite Power is a leading global power transmission developer and solutions provider that is solving problems at the intersection of time, space and capital. We believe that access to reliable electricity transforms lives and should be a fundamental right for all individuals globally. With focus on leveraging technology and nurturing right partnerships & talent, innovation is part of your company’s DNA. Our businesses are uniquely positioned to tackle problems at the intersection of time, space and capital. Our Global Infrastructure Business solves challenges of time and capital by building, owning and operating power transmission assets across the world. Our Solutions Business solves challenges of time and space for power utilities by specializing in upgrading, uprating and strengthening of power delivery networks. Our Convergence Business solves the challenge of capital by optimizing the existing transmission to roll out reliable communication networks. Our asset manager, SIML (Sterlite Investment Managers Limited) manages the IndiGrid portfolio, which solves the challenge of SPACE capital by enabling monetization of operating assets.

    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.

(India). Page 2 of 43 International Diversification through Acquisition: Fundamentals and Estimations of Vedanta buyout of Cairn India Abstract Corporate valuations, financial strength in cash flows and opening up of debt facility favour more overseas acquisitions. Historically, corporate restructuring is a strategic, mechanized and chemical formula for achieving external growth to become a globalized diverse company. The phenomenon of ‘diversification’ is not new, where it was born in the timeline of the Kings. Markets are becoming highly connective, accessible, communicative and are reaching maturity at a very high phase. Acquisition is a choice to enhance the emerging and diversified markets. This case- based research study presents a case discussion, case analysis and opinion based inference on Vedanta – Cairn India cross-border acquisition deal in Indian oil and exploration industry. We also suggest a new forecasting model to estimate future free cash flows and firm valuation in the upcoming research field of corporate finance. The study exclusively shows reaction of stocks against acquisition announcement and compares with market performance.
