Recent Trends in Power & Infrastructure Sector in Emerging Markets

Recent Trends in Power & Infrastructure Sector in Emerging Markets are:
Positive Trends:
  • Due to recent focus on clean tech, I anticipate the carbon emission rating prices to increase significantly in future. And it is carbon credits which make renewable energy projects most attractive returing superior risk adjusted returns.
  • Cash flow crush has made equity quite cheap offering attractive valuation to smart and long-term investors.

Negative Trends:

  • Initiation of new projects or expansion of existing capacity is declining due to recent economic slow down
  • Capital inflow in non-operating infrastructure projects has dried up due to higher macro economic risk in future
  • Almost 50% of power generation projects currently under development in India has halted due to lack of capital
  • The waiting for Power Generation Equipment got reduced from 5 years to 3 months at some companies
  • As per number the GDP growth rate is expected to be between 5 to 7%. But the real industry growth rate in terms of new projects, new investments is less than 2 - 3%.
