From rural electrification to utility-scale solar farms, the country\u2019s power infrastructure requires a huge influx of capital, and a big chunk of that is raised through bonds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Power sector bonds are issued by companies working across India\u2019s electricity ecosystem (generation, transmission, distribution, and renewable energy). When the involved entities need funds for the projects, they are often known to secure those funds from the bond market. As an investor, you can lend money to these companies, which are powering India and earning returns. It\u2019s a sector that\u2019s hard to miss, especially as India marches towards its goal of 500GW of renewable energy capacity by 2030.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_84 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/goldenpi.com\/blog\/investment-guide\/investing-in-power-sector-bonds-in-india\/#Who_Issues_Power_Sector_Bonds_in_India\" >Who Issues Power Sector Bonds in India?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/goldenpi.com\/blog\/investment-guide\/investing-in-power-sector-bonds-in-india\/#PSUs_vs_Private_Power_Bonds_What_the_Difference_Is_and_What_It_Means_for_You\" >PSUs vs Private Power Bonds: What the Difference Is and What It Means for You<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/goldenpi.com\/blog\/investment-guide\/investing-in-power-sector-bonds-in-india\/#What_is_DISCOM_Risk_and_Why_Should_You_Know_About_it\" >What is DISCOM Risk and Why Should You Know About it<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/goldenpi.com\/blog\/investment-guide\/investing-in-power-sector-bonds-in-india\/#The_54EC_Tax_Benefit_The_Reason_Why_Many_Investors_Are_Attracted_to_Power_Sector_Bonds\" >The 54EC Tax Benefit: The Reason Why Many Investors Are Attracted to Power Sector Bonds<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/goldenpi.com\/blog\/investment-guide\/investing-in-power-sector-bonds-in-india\/#Power_Sector_Bond_Risks_How_to_Evaluate\" >Power Sector Bond Risks: How to Evaluate<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-6\" href=\"https:\/\/goldenpi.com\/blog\/investment-guide\/investing-in-power-sector-bonds-in-india\/#Who_Should_Invest_in_Power_Sector_Bonds\" >Who Should Invest in Power Sector Bonds?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-7\" href=\"https:\/\/goldenpi.com\/blog\/investment-guide\/investing-in-power-sector-bonds-in-india\/#Frequently_Asked_Questions_Power_Sector_Bonds\" >Frequently Asked Questions: Power Sector Bonds<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-8\" href=\"https:\/\/goldenpi.com\/blog\/investment-guide\/investing-in-power-sector-bonds-in-india\/#Ready_to_Invest\" >Ready to Invest?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-9\" href=\"https:\/\/goldenpi.com\/blog\/investment-guide\/investing-in-power-sector-bonds-in-india\/#Disclaimer\" >Disclaimer:\u00a0<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Who_Issues_Power_Sector_Bonds_in_India\"><\/span><strong>Who Issues Power Sector Bonds in India?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>These bonds come from two major issuing groups, and grasping the differences is key to a good investment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>PSU issuers\u2014Public Sector Undertakings (backed by the government)\u2014dominate this space.

The problem is that DISCOMs are almost always financially stressed. As a result, when they\u2019re not able to pay the generators on time, their cash flow suffers. That stress climbs up the chain and can affect the issuer\u2019s ability to handle bond transactions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a recurring problem unique to India, which is why when PSU issuers like PFC and REC get to issuing, government support provides confidence in the bonds. For private power companies, this risk is more dire, and deserves serious thought before investing in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_54EC_Tax_Benefit_The_Reason_Why_Many_Investors_Are_Attracted_to_Power_Sector_Bonds\"><\/span><strong>The 54EC Tax Benefit: The Reason Why Many Investors Are Attracted to Power Sector Bonds<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>PFC and REC bonds have made a space for themselves in the Indian markets for one specific reason: they are among the few instruments where investors can park their gains from property sales and turn those earnings tax-free under section <a href=\"https:\/\/goldenpi.com\/blog\/fixed-income\/corporate-bonds\/what-are-capital-gain-bonds-54ec-bonds\/\" type=\"post\" id=\"8965\">54EC of the Income Tax Act<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Investing in 54EC bonds within six months of a property sale can immensely reduce your tax liability. Of course, with all these areas where these bonds shine, there have to be some areas where they don\u2019t. The limitations of these bonds are a five-year lock-in period and an investment cap of \u20b950 lakhs per financial year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Power_Sector_Bond_Risks_How_to_Evaluate\"><\/span><strong>Power Sector Bond Risks: How to Evaluate<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s a simple way to go about this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Low risk: PSU bonds from PFC, REC, NTPC, and PGCIL are heavily backed by the government, have high credit ratings, and have historically reliable repayment records. Renewable energy bonds that fall under the purview of Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) also belong to this category.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moderate risk: Bonds of large private players like Tata Power or Torrent Power are considered to be moderate risk as they have a track record of stable cash flows and good credit ratings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>High risk: Bonds of smaller, independent power producers or private players.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Who_Should_Invest_in_Power_Sector_Bonds\"><\/span><strong>Who Should Invest in Power Sector Bonds?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Power sector bonds are a good fit for investors with a medium- to long-term horizon seeking stable income. Conservative investors looking for higher yields than FDs coupled with low risk might also find these viable. And the 54EC bonds are a natural option for anyone who is expecting gains from property transactions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A word of caution: Be extremely careful before going in on bonds from smaller private issuers without a good track record, or bonds issued by entities looking to raise capital for their under-construction projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Liquidity is another consideration. While PSU bonds have a fairly active market, the secondary market for smaller power sector bonds can be slim, making early exit tough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Frequently_Asked_Questions_Power_Sector_Bonds\"><\/span><strong>Frequently Asked Questions: Power Sector Bonds<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1780650840709\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>Q1. What are power sector bonds, and how do they work in India?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">A: Power sector bonds are bonds issued by the companies that generate, transmit, and distribute electricity.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1780650855841\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>Q2. Are PFC and REC bonds safe investments?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">A: PFC and REC are government-supported PSUs that have <a href=\"https:\/\/goldenpi.com\/collections\/highly-rated-bonds\">AAA ratings<\/a> and a good track record of repayment. They are regarded as one of the less risky corporate bond investments in India, but like any other bond, they come with their share of risk.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1780650874350\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>Q3. What is a 54EC bond, and how does it save tax?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">A: 54EC bonds offer exemption from long-term capital gains from the sale of property, provided the gains are invested within six months from the date of sale. PFC and REC are some of the popular issuers. Investment limit is \u20b950 lakh per year, and a lock-in period of five years is in place.\u00a0<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1780650889098\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>Q4. What is the biggest risk in private power sector bonds?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">A: Private power bonds carry DISCOM payment risk, which is the risk of non-payment by state electricity distribution companies to electricity generators, which are responsible for selling power to the companies.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1780650902937\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>Q5. Can retail investors buy power sector bonds in India?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">A: Yes. Retail investors can buy PSU power bonds from registered bond platforms, stock brokers, and sometimes through a public issuance.
