  • Annual Report 2007 | Reports & Filings | Investors
    Once upon a time, the world was spiky. Opportunities were unequal across countries, information was often walled and new economies were unheard of. But around the mid 990s, things started changing. Wealth began to spread, opening up fresh markets. A baby-boomer generation aged in developed countries while a Gen-Y exploded in emerging ones, rebalancing the workforce and propelling new economies. Technology became ubiquitous, connecting people and information. Together, these disruptive forces rearranged and leveled the global business-scape.

  • The Halting Progress of Privatization in India. Nandini Gupta* Current
    From Commanding Heights to Family Silver: The Halting Progress of Privatization in India. Nandini Gupta* Current status of the privatization program In February 2010, India’s United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government, led by the Congress party, resurrected its stalled privatization program with a secondary offering of shares in National Thermal Power Corporation Ltd (NTPC), one of India’s best performing government-owned firms, which owns 20% of India’s power generation capacity. The sale of the $1.8 billion block of shares reduced the government’s existing stake in the company by an additional 5%, leaving 85% still under government control. However, the poor performance of the offering has raised alarm bells for the government’s future privatization plans. NTPC was subscribed just 1.2 times for the secondary offering, mainly with the help of government-owned financial institutions (“NTPC issue scrapes through with support from SBI, LIC,” The Economic Times, February 6, 2010). Although two foreign investment banks, Citigroup and J.P. Morgan were advising the company, the secondary offering did not attract any foreign institutional investment. The poor performance of the offering has also raised questions regarding the growth prospects of this company, which is a “navratna”, one of the nine “jewels” in the government’s crown. In a recent speech, the top ranking bureaucrat in the power ministry, HS Brahma, pointed out the company’s low employee productivity (“Power secretary censures NTPC for low productivity,” Daily News and Analysis India, February 15, 2010). The lackluster performance may also be due to investor skepticism regarding the company’s ability to compete effectively with a rapidly growing private sector.
