Is the Indian power rental market waking up?

摘要

The uncertainty encompassing the global economic scenario coupled with pressures to reduce cost have resulted in shrinking of investment globally in the capital-intensive power sector. The Indian subcontinent is no exception to this phenomenon. The reasons for deliberation are numerous. Of late, the above economic scenario has set the pace for substitute services by power suppliers. Although, globally, the "rental" option is quite widely accepted and preferred over the "own" option, it never succeeded in the Indian peninsula. This can possibly be because of the depreciation advantage in owning the equipment and concerns of technical expertise of the rental power providers.
