Now lets study the structural reforms made in each of these sectors.

Coal Sector

  1. Earlier coal was a product with monopoly of the central govt. but to promote commercial mining in coal sector, govt. monopoly is removed. It will lead to more coal availability at market prices and liberalized entities allowed to participate.
  2. India has 3rd largest valued coal in uncapped mines and we still import coal. So regulations are required. Now the govt. will provide incentives on coal gasification to prevent environment and coal extraction beds would be auctioned.

Civil Aviation (Airspace management, PPP and airports, MRO Hub)

  1. For Airspace management, around 60% of airspace is only available for civil flights due to military restrictions. So from now onward, govt. will focus on optimum utilization of airspace. This will save fuel requirement, less price tickets and reduce time of travel and will save around Rs. 1000 crore.
  2. For PPP and airports, 6 more airports would be brought in by the central govt. for auction. Airport Authority of India (AAI) will do this on PPP basis. The govt. is seeking additional investment to provide high quality facilities at airports. The govt. has already received Rs. 13,000 crore investment in 1st and 2nd round of 12 airports. Now with these 6 airports, more investment is expected to come.
  3. Maintenance, Repair and Overall (MRO) Hubs will be setup in India to perform maintenance, repair, service and other works related to civil aeroplanes and defense aircrafts.

Power Sector

  1. Power distribution companies in all Union Territories would be privatized in line with tarriff policy. Moreover, private players will get open access as well as incentives on timely payments. This will ensure power distribution to be sustainable.

Social Infrastructure Project Sector

  3. Moreover, govt. will provide access to remote sensing data to private startups.

Atomic Energy Sector
