Project Selection Rationale
• Focus on handling small but highly credible projects
• Focus on establishing Dow as a respectable brand in the Indian market
• Dow to be perceived as an end to end supplier
• Capturing mindshare by differentiated service
1. Dow will open an Indian renewable venture arm
called Dow Renewable Ventures (DRV)*
2. Assembly plant to be set up in India: Chennai,
Visakhapatnam, Mangalore-Udupi belt: Proposed SEZ locations
as per Semiconductor Policy Notification 2007
Preliminary Decisions
35. Team : Winning Combination
Strategy 1: Dow as an end to end solution provider
Targets:
1. Demonstration projects
2. Rural Electrification
3. State requirements
Differentiator:
1. Above projects are capital intensive projects, so the player has to provide an
alternative to the high monetary entry barrier
2. Users would be keen for a solution provider which gives them clean energy at
the convenience level of conventional sources
36. Team : Winning Combination
Methodology
• DRV to tie up with balance of system suppliers (BOS) for a fixed price contract for
supply of components
• This prevents the tariff margins from getting disturbed
• DRV sets up the complete infrastructure (sans land) for the power project and enters
into a Power Purchase agreement (PPA) with the customer.
* Government subsidy: Rs. 12 a unit to solar plant developers that supply to grid
** DRV will follow Clean development mechanism as per the Kyoto protocol. USA has
not ratified the protocol; DRV can sell credits in open market. India on the other hand
being exempted from Kyoto gains through FDI and Technology transfer
37. Team : Winning Combination
Benefits and Offerings
1. Ease of conventional energy at a comparable price
2. Assurance of Stable Tariffs
3. Assured quality as the onus of performance is on Dow
People Element
Here DRV assumes the major responsibility
Managing Director: Handles overall management of the company
Operations Manager: Handles procurement of primary and BOS components
Financial Manager: Handles accounting, auditing and strategic investment planning
38. Team : Winning Combination
Strategy 2: Dow as a seller of PV modules
Targets:
1. Solar powered telecom towers projects for rural India
2. Metro street light projects
3. Green Buildings
4. Industrial solution
Differentiator:
1. Player to have an assured silicon supply, as these projects would extend to
pan India once successful
2. As these would not be state specific, the player must have a wide presence
3. Immediate redressal to be offered by the player
39. Team : Winning Combination
It is proposed to have a 3 tier structure as shown below:

40. Team : Winning Combination
People Element
State Level Motivator : Motivator should be an ITI graduate with good conversation skills. 3 levels of
training required:
(a) Installation techniques
(b) Servicing and Troubleshooting
(c) Basic Marketing Strategies
There will be monthly reviews with RO to get state level feedback
Regional Office
1. RO Manager: His role would be:
(a) Getting the client brief
(b) Formulating the cost and contract proposal
(c) Client Relationship at a higher level
2. Chief technician: Role would involve quality inspection and motivator and supply coordination
