04 December 2012 The answer depends on whether it is power generation or distribution company. Then whether power is generated out of new and renewable energy or otherwise.

Example: For power distribution companies, the Ministry of Power has kept a requirement of 30% equity on cost of investment - as a basic licence requirement.

04 December 2012 Companies Act specifies only Name related capital requirement. Ex India as 1st name is Rs.5 Crs. But it doesn't specify anything relating to power generation Company. Otherwise any other Act is applicable for such Company?
Kindly Advise

No need of capital requirement. If you are making private company minimum capital should be 1 lac and for public company, minimum capital is 5 lac.

The capital requierment is applicable only for financing company.
