Trade war between US and China, Corporate Tax Cut by India and Improvement in Ease of Doing Business in India augurs well for the Indian economy assuming that the slowdown in global economy do not last long and resumes growth trajectory soon. All the macro indicators augurs well for Indian economy and slew multiple reform announced by Indian government to stem the slowdown in economy is anticipated to yield results in 2-3 quarters from now. India is certainly one of the most favoured investment destinations and every company in the world would want to take advantage of the new economy that’s shaping under Modi 2.0. The recent cut in corporate tax rate for existing companies to 22 percent from 30 percent, and to 15 percent from 25 percent for new manufacturing firms incorporated after October 1, 2019, and starting operations before March 31, 2023 is a bold move by the Government of India. This move has made India a very attractive destination for foreign investment. India’s corporate tax rates have become very competitive compared to those of other emerging market economies in ASEAN and other parts of Asia. For any company that plans to make new investment, no country is offering 15 per cent tax rate. We are giving 15 per cent with no MAT (minimum alternate tax) and simpler taxation structure. The economy that is reeling under slowdown, this is a bold reform that will enable India resume its growth trajectory on the back anticipated increase in foreign direct investment. The cut in corporate tax rate has coincides with the improvement India has seen in its ease of doing business, India’s rank in the World Bank’s Ease of Doing Business 2020 index has vaulted 14 places to 63rd among 190 economies.

When it comes to making Go-No Go decision on new investment, it becomes important to do in-depth analysis beyond the headline indicators, this becomes more important when a company is entering in a market where state specific variables can make successful outcome a difficult task. With over 29 states and 7 union territories, shortlisting investment location is not an easy task and InfraInsights aims to enable companies to take informed decision by understanding the attractiveness and risks associated with each state in India, especially when it comes to make right investment decision. InfraInsights research report “State Investment Attractiveness Index: Evaluating Go-To States for Setting up Manufacturing Facility in India”, will enable companies to find out which are the best Go-To states for making Fresh Investment in India. The report aims to do a competitive benchmarking of leading states on parameters like resource attractiveness, policy attractiveness, political attractiveness, environmental attractiveness, infrastructure attractiveness, industry attractiveness and based on all parameters shortlist most attractive investment location /cluster in a given state. The research is a mix of qualitative and quantitative benchmarking which will help companies take informed decision. The report will also help companies that have taken decision on investing in India but are evaluating which state in India it should set up shop basis factors like availability of land, labour, water, electricity, political stability, proximity to port, roads and highway infrastructure etc.

After missing the initial deadline of May 2017, On April 2018, the Narendra Modi government announced that the electrification of all inhabited villages in India has been completed. While the announcement and achievement are significant, it is still largely symbolic and not substantive in nature as electrification of villages does not translate into electrification of households and is certainly no guarantee for power availability. Devil lies in details, in the definition of what means 100% electrified village, and as per the Union power ministry’s definition, a village is said to be electrified if at least 10% of the households in it have power connections and if electricity is provided in public places such as schools, panchayat offices, health centres and community centres. One shouldn’t be surprised if one encounters a village where there is just 1 bulb light on a bamboo pole and the village is declared as electrified, hence, even though 100% electrification of villages has been achieved, government data shows that as of today, there are still 31 million households without electricity. In states like Uttar Pradesh, Jharkhand and Assam, fewer than 60% of households have electricity, four years after the BJP came to power on the promise of “electricity for all”. In 12 out of the 30 states, fewer than 80% of the households have been electrified. The Modi government has promised to deliver uninterrupted power supply to all households by March 2019, which seems to be a much more difficult task.

Most of these un-electrified areas across different states are miles away from the grid and hence it is only advisable to take a call on grid extension vs evaluating off-grid solution basis the population that needs to be supplied with electricity and the projected demand for power. India is blessed with abundant sources of renewable energy like, wind, solar, small hydro power, and if these cheaply available resources are harnessed along with energy storage solutions, in a microgrids set-up, it can provide reliable and consistent power supply, in remote rural areas. Further, such microgrids enable the infusion of investment at the community level and provide an avenue for revenue generation to the communities through the feed-in tariff mechanism. In addition, by installing distributed generation assets throughout the network, utilities can fall back on them for ancillary services during times of emergency. Microgrids not only enable the maximum integration of renewable energy, but also provide greater load flexibility and better demand management. In an attempt to promote microgrids in India, the government issued a draft national policy on renewable energy based mini- and microgrids. The policy proposes to set up at least 10,000 renewable micro-and minigrid projects across the country, with 500 MW of generation capacity to be developed by private players by 2022 in order to cater to around 237 million people experiencing energy shortage.

Microgrids utilise various generation resources including diesel, solar photovoltaic (PV), micro-hydro and biomass gasification, and also employ hybrid technologies such as wind-diesel and PV-diesel. While diesel-based microgrids are the most commonly used globally, solar PV systems are also gaining popularity due to the reduced cost of PV modules and solar PV equipment. In India, solar microgrids with an aggregate capacity of 1,899 kWp have been installed so far in 63 villages with financial support (30 per cent of the project cost) from the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE). Thus, for a 10 kW direct current microgrid, the MNRE offers Rs 105 per watt, and for systems with a module capacity of 10-250 kW, it offers Rs 90 per watt. The systems come with a minimum warranty of five years in the rural and remote areas of the country. In India, key players in the microgrid market include Gram Power, Mera Gao Power, DESI Power, Omnigrid Micropower Company and Gram Oorja Solutions. Most of these players deploy solar-based microgrids in combination with smart grid technologies in states such as Karnataka, Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh and Bihar. Currently, commercial investors are sceptical about investing in the microgrid market due to a perceived lack of visibility, market maturity, and scalability concerns. Given the increasing global focus on renewable energy generation and commitments to counter climate change, microgrids offer a range of benefits. There are challenges but the advantages outweighs these and the technology interventions, government support will pave way for economically sound micro-grid based power distribution system which is self-sustainable, operates in tandem to grid or on a complete independent grid basis. InfraInsights research report “Micro grid opportunity in India: Identifying Unelectrified Locations that are best fit for electrification through microgrids”, outlines why micro-grid which has only scratched the surface is likely to become huge in India market and it’s a perfect PPP model to achieve 100% household level access to electricity by 2024-25. Micro-grids utility will be beyond last mile connectivity and will find its way into industrial captive power, commercial captive and even at individual residence cluster level.

Government announcement on 100% EV by 2030 has hit the overall Automotive Industry like bolt from the blue and almost all industry stakeholders are at various stages of planning to make themselves immune to the emerging EV disruption that is likely to render companies staying in denial mode obsolete. Companies that will remain focussed on legacy products will face an existential crisis and those that will embrace the EV and new-age mobility disruption are likely to survive and thrive.

Push towards EVization will see some companies entering into new while existing traditional business and recent sales of BOSCHs’ starter and generator division to SEG is indicative of that trend. The e-rickshaw space is gaining traction when compared to PV, 2W, and 3W that are still a few years away from industrialization, this has led to companies like SEG, TVS Lucas Ltd to launch products that cater to e-rickshaw space.

Both automobile OEMs and automotive component OEMs are at crossroads in terms of making investment EV and also at what pace they should go about their investment, this to ensure that the breakeven point is not a stretched one. Automotive Industry worldwide is fast changing from IC to Hybrid to EV, while IC will not vanish over next 5 -10 years but it will eventually succumb to newer technology over a period of 20-30 years if not in the next 10 years. InfraInsights have been researching and advising companies on risks and opportunity in EV since the time Minister of Roads & Transport, Mr. Nitin Gadkari made the announcement on EV in 2017. InfraInsights through its detailed research-based consulting proposition, aims to enable auto component manufacturers to navigate the transition from IC to EV seamlessly and provide them with a transition blueprint that outlines roadmap towards a sustainable EV business.

There are both early movers and those that are yet to take a call as far as navigating into EV is concerned. Bharat Forge, for instance, has been investing into companies in EV space and is also looking for investing in electronics and embedded system. Samvardhana Motherson Group is already making electric wiring for trucks and buses, apart from supplying parts to Mahindra Reva and mirrors to Tesla. Component makers understand that investing in EV component technology and capacity is a matter of survival. Once the shift happens, huge numbers of current components will become obsolete. InfraInsights sees that the recent slowdown in the auto industry has pushed Government to go slow on EV ambition but by no means it will shelve its EV plans and hence the breather provided by Government should be taken as the advantage for auto component OEMs to accelerate their preparedness for the successful EV strategy & implementation. InfraInsights through its research aims to provide a playbook that will be useful for auto-component manufacturers that are at various stages of carving out a successful strategy to stay relevant in the inevitable EV regime.

According to UN estimates, every year the world uses 500 billion plastic bags while half of the plastic used is of single use or in disposable items such as grocery bags, cutlery and straws. Each year, at least eight million tonnes of plastic end up in the oceans, the equivalent of a full garbage truck every minute. Efforts are on around the world, to mitigate impacts of plastic pollution. China recently moved to ban the import of 24 types of solid waste including plastic. Britain’s 25-year environment plan launched by Prime Minister Theresa May this January has a specific target of eliminating avoidable plastic waste by 2042. Norway not only recycles all of its plastic, it also imports waste from other countries to run its waste-to-energy incineration plants.

India’s struggle with plastic is evident from the fact 70% of total plastic consumption is discarded as waste. Size of plastic industry in India is estimated to be INR 110,000 crore, with over 30,000 plastic manufacturing units supplying over 13 million tonnes of plastic per year, of this nearly 9 million tonnes ends up as waste and of this nearly 60% is estimated to be re-cycled. As per an estimate around 9.5 MTPA of plastic waste is generated in country, which aggregated to about 25,940 TPD. As per a study – Assessment and Quantification of Plastic Waste Generated in 60 Cities – published by the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB), there is little or no processing of either Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) or plastic waste (PW) in most Indian cities and the metropolises, barring Ahmedabad and Pune, to some extent. According to the study, it is dumped at the disposal site, following the method of crude dumping, where the waste is neither spread nor covered. Across eight metro cities, Kolkata generated 116.79 kg of plastic waste per MT of total Municipal Solid Waste, followed by Delhi (102.98kg/MT of MSW) and Ahmedabad (105.07kg/MT of MSW). While no post treatment operation of MSW or PW was performed in either Delhi or Kolkata, Ahmedabad was placed better with efforts being taken to treat organic waste and reduce MSW in landfills using a gas-based power plant.

If cannot be handled, strategy to reduce the plastic waste generation is in as many as 18 states across India, where a blanket ban on single use plastic is imposed. After India’s capital city of Delhi, Maharashtra, India’s second most populous state, which produces plastic products worth Rs. 500 billion, notified a state-wide a ban on most single-use plastics in April 2018. In March 2016, the erstwhile Plastic Waste (Management and Handling) Rules 2011 were replaced by the Plastic Waste Management Rules 2016, notified by the Ministry of Environment and Forest & Climate Change (MoEF&CC). This provides a regulatory framework for management of plastic waste by urban local bodies as well as the waste generators (individual household, institutions, residential and commercial establishments and defence establishments).The government has notified the Plastic Waste Management Rules, 2016, which regulate manufacture, sale, distribution and use of plastic carry bags including those of compostable plastic, and plastic sheets for packaging or wrapping applications.

Amongst various techniques and methodologies used for recycling plastic waste, plastic waste to fuel oil (P2F)will be a big game changer for the urban local bodies managing plastic waste and the overall economy at large, this given that India depends on imports for most of its crude oil requirements. P2F is achieving commercialization in various developed markets and with every passing day the technology is maturing even in India market. Over the 4-5 years, conversion of plastic waste to fuel has been talked about and multiple small sized plants have been installed in India, some has met with failure while some have become example of how to get the concept as well as business right India has multiple demonstration projects. Unlike biofuel, where one has to grow the feedstock that is eventually converted into fuel, in case of plastic to fuel, there is abundance of feedstock readily available only the supply chain needs to well managed and the market for the product needs to be enabled through regulatory push. The push towards PW2F is inevitable and it will be enabled by government aid as well, anticipating the emerging dynamics, even large companies will emerge in this opportunity that will build scale and accelerate Industrialization of PW2F, residue of which can easily replace fuel oil used by industrial boilers, gensets etc. InfraInsights research report “Plastic Waste to Oil: Evaluating Multibillion Business Opportunity Awaiting to Unfold”, aims to provide a indepth perspective on the opportunity and a business plan to take informed “Go-No Go” decision.

The potential investors in electric vehicle charging business opportunity in India are in a fix, this as they are unsure of whether to put charging stations upfront or wait for critical mass of EVs before investing any money. It’s a classic chicken and egg situation, however, if one takes a closer look into how the Chinese handled this conundrum, one would realize that the initial thrust came in form creation of public electric vehicle charging stations funded by the government and later came the private investment into the charging infrastructure creation. Currently there are only 150 charging stations in India and anticipating the need, Government of India has set up an ambitious target of setting up one charging station every three km in cities and every 25 km on both sides of highways. The government has de-licensed public charging stations business for electric vehicles enabling individuals to extend such facilities, but at a regulated tariff. Companies like ABB, Acme Industries, Fortum India and a few Dutch firms are actively considering setting up vehicle charging stations. State-run companies like NTPC, GAIL India, Indian Oil Corp and Power Grid Corp have been exploring diversification into electric vehicle charging infrastructure business.

Most of the auto industry has been complaining about the lack of charging support directly discouraging their interest in switching vehicles to electric. There are reportedly 60,000 petrol pumps across the country and more expected to be added and if the infrastructure is used, one doesn’t need to acquire more land space to set up the electric vehicle charging stations, and make better use of the available area. Japanese electronics company Panasonic has planned to set up around one lakh charging station for e-vehicles across 25 top Indian cities. The Japanese company is planning to set up these stations by 2024. These charging stations are expected to power over a million vehicles. Company has planned charging stations across top cities like Delhi, Pune, Bengaluru, Chennai, Amravati, Hyderabad, Gurgaon, Noida and Ghaziabad etc. The charging facilities will be set up at petrol pumps, malls, parking lots etc.

At both Central Government level and State Government level, policy changes are being implemented to pave for accelerated charging infrastructure capacity creation. The state of Uttar Pradesh has become the first in India to formally invite EoIs from companies to set up electric vehicle charging stations. This is the first proposal after the Union Power Ministry issued guidelines over setting up of such EV charging stations in December 2018 to promote the use of battery electric autorickshaws. In March this year, the New Delhi government approved the plan to set up 131 public charging stations in the capital. Also, private firms like Magenta Power are working on EV charging corridor on Mumbai-Pune highway besides other projects. The draft policy of Delhi Government, also mentions that to develop charging infrastructure for electric vehicles in Delhi, the government plans to have charging points at every 3 km and offer a subsidy of 100% (up to Rs 30,000) to set up charging points (for the first 10,000 points) in Delhi. As per the Union Housing and Urban Affairs Ministry statement, several amendments have been made to the Model Building Byelaws (MBBL) 2016 and Urban Regional Development Plans Formulation and Implementation (URDPFI) Guidelines 2014, for establishing a robust Electric Vehicle charging infrastructure.

Akin to solar, InfraInsights anticipates deluge of companies interested in setting up electric vehicle charging stations in India, however one has to be careful about the pace at which one has to accelerate in this business where the rudimentary way of fuel retailing may not work. InfraInsights research report “Setting up EV Charging Stations in India: Evaluating Top Locations / Clusters in India, Best Fit Business Model and Services” aims to provide in-depth view on the possible business opportunity, pitfall and most importantly location level study to help funnel the most attractive pockets / clusters where setting up EV charging stations makes business sense considering the penetration of EV and the time to break even on investment made in charging station.

India is well on its course to achieve its objective of electricity for all, and one can expect the goal to be achieved by 2019 or by 2020. After electricity, water is most important utility service which will need tremendous attention of the government, India is blessed with several rivers but that’s under threat due to climate change and India is already declared as water stressed country. After water, waste management will become the most important area for the government, as currently almost all cities are facing enormous challenge in effectively dealing with solid waste management. With growing population and rapid urbanization, waste generation in India has increased significantly over the last decade. More than 70% of collected urban waste is dumped at landfills. And most of them are brimming. It has also been estimated that annual waste generation will likely increase to 165 million tonnes by 2030. This means that 66,000 hectares of land will be required to set up a landfill site that is 10 meters high and can hold 20 years’ worth of waste. To put things in perspective, that is almost 90% of Bengaluru’s area. If the current waste management scenario does not improve, one can soon expect to be buried in our own muck. Almost all the Municipalities are struggling to effectively manage waste generated across different cities. MCGM, is staring at brimming landfills, fire related issues in landfills, lack of processing capacities and as a result has resorted to force citizen participation in solid waste management. MCGM, has decided not to pick solid waste for societies / complexes, of more than 20,000 square meters or those producing more than 100kg wet waste per day. The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has issued notices to 23,161 housing societies for not following the mandatory rule, leaving citizens in lurch for no mistake of theirs. Had BMC implemented the SWM Rules 2000, by now it would have had effective and efficient solid waste management capabilities in place. Data represented in the chart below indicates how garbage is overflowing in almost all landfills across the country. Farm Chart

According to data gathered by the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB), municipal authorities in India had established only 13 waste-to-energy plants, 56 bio-methanation plants, 22 refuse-derived fuel plants and 553 compost and vermicompost plants until 2014. However, more treatment and processing plants need to be built to realize the true potential of solid waste. According to the Planning Commission, municipal solid waste that is not utilized has the potential to produce 439 MW of power from 32,890 tons per day of combustible waste. This includes refuse-derived fuel, 1.3 million cubic meters of biogas per day and 5.4 million metric tonnes of compost (all annual) that can be utilized for agricultural purposes. InfraInsights sees waste management as a multi-billion dollar opportunity for private sector as the public sector finds itself in spot when it comes to effective waste management. ULBs will seek participation of private sector and its citizens to help deal with the challenge of burgeoning solid waste in almost all cities across the country. It’s inevitable that decentralized approach to waste management will lead to capacity creation at community level as well as centralized level in ULBs. Sanitary landfills is no more a viable option for mega cities like Mumbai, Bengaluru, Chennai & others, and hence technology will have to leveraged to effectively and efficiently, reduce, recycle, re-use waste. Demand for semi-automatic or fully automatic composting machine is likely to increase in the residential societies and demand for WTE, Biomethanization, RDF setups are slated to increase across ULBs. Private sector, whether directly or indirectly will play a very important role in partnering with ULBs, Municipalities to shoulder the burden of waste management through technology. InfraInsights research report “Evaluating Multi-billion Opportunity in Solid Waste Management in India across Urban Local Bodies and Commercial & Residential Setups”, aims to quantify the business opportunity that waste management as a segment will generate for private sector and companies in the area of public utility services business are expected to immensely benefit out of this demand. Technology providers will see demand from ULBs and Residential societies alike. The report will do a detailed profiling of all the major ULBs in countries to understand its capabilities, gap areas, cost efficiency / inefficiency, budgets, technology deployed, forthcoming project for capacity creation and O&M, to help companies in private sector, draw out its growth strategy in this very critical segment of waste management. Report will be primary research driven, and the analysis and insights will be presented in a manner that it can be leveraged by companies for its business planning in the area of solid waste management.
