US demand to rise 4.6% annually through 2016 Demand for commercial refrigeration equipment in the US is forecast to increase 4.6 percent per year to $9.4 billion in 2016. Growth will result from improvements in capital investment and nonresidential construction expenditures. In addition, a positive outlook for the broader US economy will encourage end users such as fleet operators and retailers to both expand existing operations and replace aging equipment. Food industry efforts to reduce operating costs, a byproduct of narrow profit margins, will create opportunities for suppliers of energy efficient equipment. Transportation refrigeration to remain largest segment Transportation refrigeration equipment will remain the largest commercial refrigeration equipment type, benefiting from the positive outlook for capital investment. In addition, product innovations such as hybrid electric systems and products that utilize natural refrigerants like carbon dioxide will stimulate sales. Ice machines will also record above average growth due to increased construction of hotels and motels, which are major end users of this equipment. Additionally, ice machines will benefit from the rising number of foodservice establishments and from technical innovations like remote monitoring. New equipment sales to outpace aftermarket Gains in all markets will benefit from users' desire to increase efficiency due to the narrow profit margins throughout the food industry. Aftermarket sales of commercial refrigeration equipment -- repairs and replacements -- accounted for 73 percent of demand in 2011 and will continue to comprise the majority of demand. Gains, however, will lag those of new equipment due to expansion efforts by food industry participants. Food, beverage distribution to be fastest growing market Food and beverage distribution in the US is expected to post the most rapid growth of any commercial refrigeration equipment market through 2016, increasing at a yearly rate of

The 12th Plan (v/s 11th Plan) renewable capacity addition to slowdown CARE Research expects the 12th Plan (2012-17) the renewable especially wind capacity addition to slowdown due to removal of tax benefit. However, wind capacity addition is likely to maintain its dominant share in the capacity addition. At present, the policy environment needs a boost to achieve as removal of Accelerated Depreciation (AD) scheme from April, 2012 is likely to act as dampener resulting into sharp slowdown in wind capacity addition in the 12th Plan. Moreover, solar capacity addition is purely RPO driven; hence institutional framework needs to be strengthened for higher and sustainable capacity addition run-rate. Finally, State level policy issues related to Small Hydro Power (SHP), Biomass, Co-generation, Waste-to-Energy (WtE) sectors need to be sorted out to improve 12th Plan capacity addition. With AD benefit removed, capacity addition to fall; IRR to shrink by 300-400bps  AD benefit was removed from April 1, 2012, which was a major driver for wind installations in the 11th Plan. The country added 3.2GW of wind capacity in FY12 (last year of the 11th Plan), which is expected to fall sharply due to AD benefit removal. Consequently, CARE Research expects capacity addition to fall to sharply from FY13 onwards. The Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) issued a notification on 30th March 2012, that the depreciation on wind mills will be restricted to 15% from the current financial year (with and additional 20% depreciation on equipments). This marks a significant change to the incentive structure as AD benefit typically increases project IRR by around 300-400bps, with other factors held constant. Thus, the industry would move strongly towards IPPs driven from a typical retail investor driven structure a few years ago. Indian capacity glut to pressurise WTG margins; ancillary market to deepen  Indian wind market is primarily small captive player driven which used to invest in wind t
