Dear Monica
It is difficult to find a worthy competitor to NTPC, as far as thermal power generation in India is concerned.
Power generation in India has been regulated by Govt. and it was only after 1991, that liberalization policy of the Govt. threw open this sector to new private participants.
Thermal power generation as you know, is dependent on coal, naptha/oil and gas as raw material and additionally abundant water. Coal blocks have to be allocated by the Ministry of Caol, for naptha/oil, gas based projects pipelines of thousands of miles have to constructed; clearance from Ministry of Forest and Environment needs to be obtained, land has to be acquired through State Govt. All these activities take years.
All steel plants, aluminium plants, cement plants etc. have their own captive thermal power plants with power purchase and sale arrangements with State Govt. Electricity Boards.
Presently many new companies are coming up in this sector, which will start generation in a few years; namely :
GMR Group
Essar Group
Reliance Energy Ltd.
Adani Power
Lanco Infratech
JSPL etc.
Presently, the thermal power plants are operated by state electricity Boards. e.g. Maharashtra Electricity Board (Chandrapur, Nasik, Dahanu ), Gujarat Electricity Board (Dhuvaran, Surat), Punjab Electricity Board, Tamil Nadu Electricity Board (Tuticorin, Mettur) etc.
Others are Tata Power Corporation, Damodar Valley Corporation (has both hydel and thermal power plants), Neyveli Lignite etc.
None is comparable to NTPC.
In my opinion, since the core subject is "Competency Mapping" you can go ahead studying NTPC and any other large company in another sector; and study how they apply it.
If you think that "competency mapping" is the ONLY factor responsible for the success of NTPC; and you want to compare another company which does not practices "competency mapping" to show that it is the reason behind its 'failure'; then it is the opinion of your guide and you.
I do not personally subscribe to your theory and the way it is being conducted.
I do not agree with your present research design, nor the research hypothesis.
Research work is a serious business and should be taken up seriously.
Just forming a hypothesis and somehow trying to fit things into it is not something that I recommend or approve - research for the sake of research.
