Corrective Government Policies and Increased Private Sector Participation can Bolster Growth in India’s Lackluster FGD Market

Summary

The growth of Flue Gas Desulphurization (FGD) systems in India has been moving at a snail’s pace since 2005, when the first contract for FGD was signed by Reliance Infrastructure Limited. The Indian government has not been able to take the right action with respect to the promotion of FGD systems in the Indian market, as is reflected in its ineffective laws and regulations. The price of these units is also low compared to that in western regions, which has had an adverse effect on revenue generation for the FGD market. This lack of short-term benefits has meant not many companies have shown interest in investing in these units. However, installation of these units will definitely help to increase the overall efficiency of the coal-fired plants. Moreover, since India will continue to depend on thermal generation for its electricity requirements for next several years, installation of FGD systems is now extremely pertinent, as it will lead to a significant reduction in sulphur dioxide emissions.
