Futureproofing Indian Public Sector Enterprises

The report outlines a diversification framework for Indian Public Sector Enterprises (PSEs) to mitigate financial risks associated with fossil fuel dependency. It details a two-step process involving qualitative and quantitative analyses (SWOT, Porter’s diamond, MCDA, and growth share matrix) to identify and prioritize new business segments. The document applies this logic to Coal India Limited, Indian Railways, and NTPC Limited, highlighting their current efforts in renewable energy, electric mobility, and carbon capture to align with India's net-zero goals.

• The proposed diversification framework consists of two steps: first, identifying business segments using qualitative SWOT analysis and quantitative Porter’s diamond analysis; second, analyzing specific opportunities within those segments using multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) and a growth share matrix to factor in business life cycles and investment growth potential.
• Coal India Limited (CIL), which produces 83% of India's domestic coal, is diversifying into the solar value chain through subsidiaries CIL Solar PV Limited and CIL Navikarniya Urja Limited, with a target of 3 GW of renewable energy by 2024.
• Indian Railways (IR) aims for net-zero carbon emissions by 2030 and has identified the potential to source 200 MW of wind power and approximately 20 GW of solar power by that date.
• NTPC Limited, providing over 24% of India's electricity supply, targets 60 GW of installed renewable energy capacity by 2032 and is expanding into carbon capture and storage (CCS), green hydrogen, and electric mobility, including the establishment of 267 charging stations under the FAME-II scheme.
