  • Indie - Energetický Profil
    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. Odhaduje se, že v letech 2021-22 to bude cca 217 GW. TIC, strana 1 1.2.

  • 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.

(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.
