This paper develops a decision support system for multi-factor based energy plant installation in various locations. As, the conditions to implement an energy plant in different locations varies a lot, therefore, based on these conditions specific type of power generation plant should be installed. But, because of environmental sustainability, social, and economical issues, some restrictions are imposed in building all types of power plants in every location which may create difficulties to satisfy the demand of energy for those locations. Thus, there must be a suitable methodology to decide the most appropriate power generation plant to be installed in the most appropriate place. In this respect, this paper develops an efficient process for building the most appropriate energy production plant based on intuitionistic fuzzy logic. The study is inspired by Sanchez's approach which was initiated to diagnose some medical conditions. The Sanchez's method is adopted here and utilized to obtain the degree of membership functions to choose the proper location for the proper plant. The entire methodology was illustrated with the algorithm and flowchart. To validate the model, data of seven Indian states are collected from several sources. The study concluded that the proposed methodology can obtain the degrees of appropriateness which specifies how much a specific power plant is suitable to be implemented in a particular location.

This paper summarizes the arguments and counterarguments within the scientific discussion on the issue of Business sustainability. The main purpose of the research is to look at the quality of sustainability reports of Indian infrastructure firms and use scoring method from literary sources for solving the problem and the issue of Business sustainability. The relevance of this scientific problem decision is that it adds to the literature of sustainability of firms. Investigation of the topic in this paper is carried out by using the Global Reporting Index (GRI) framework viz., economic, environment and social factors Methodological tools of the research methods were scoring methods which has been used for decade by the researchers in this field of study. The object of research is the analysis of sustainability reports of Indian Infrastructure firm because this sector faces namely external business environment negativities in Indian context. The paper presents the results of an empirical analysis by comparing large, medium and small firms, which showed that difference inside the large, medium, small group of companies. We find support to the earlier researches that have shown, large companies report better sustainability scores more than smaller ones on sustainability reporting. The research empirically confirms and theoretically proves the resources based view of strategic management. The results of the research can be useful for policy makers who can promulgate better incentive and provide technical expertise to medium and small firms to enhance their sustainability reporting.
