Capacity addition target for the year 2013-14 is 18,432.3 MW.
As against it, a capacity of 8,728 MW has been added till
31.12.2013.
PROVISION OF SUPPLY OF ELECTRICITY IN 5 KM AREA AROUND
CENTRAL POWER PLANT
The Government of India formulated a scheme to provide supply
of electricity to the rural households of the villages within radius
of 5 Km. of Power Stations set up by Central Public Sector
Undertakings (CPSUs) in 2010. However the scheme has been
withdrawn by Govt. of India vide MOP's letter No.44/7/2010-RE
dated 25th March, 2013. The respective distribution licensee has
to take the appropriate action in this regard.
GENERATION PERFORMANCE
The electricity generation target for the year 2013-14 was fixed
as 975 Billion Unit (BU). The actual generation during AprilNovember, 2013 was 663/928 BU as compared to generation
target of 930 BU for the period and actual generation of 607.2
BU during April-November 2012, representing an achievement
of 99.19% and a growth of about 5.21%.
Coal continued to remain the mainstay of electricity generation
in the country. During the year 2013-14 (upto November, 2013),
the coal based generation contributed more than two third of
the total electricity generation of 663.928 BU. Import of coal
was resorted to bridge the gap between requirement of coal
and its availability from domestic sources. An overview of coal
receipt in thermal power stations of Power Utilities during
2013-14 (up to November, 2013) is given below :

SIGNING OF FSAs
The Cabinet Committee fo Economic Affairs (CCEA) in its
meeting held on 21st June, 2013 had issued directive to Ministry
of Coal/Coal India Limited to sign FSAs for a total capacity of
78000 MW, including tapering linkage which are likely to be
commissioned by March, 2015. With the concerted efforts
made by MOP, Power Utilities have signed fuel supply
agreement for 157 Units totaling around 72,000 MW up to
3.1.2014
CCEA had approved in June 2013 that FSAs are to be signed for
domestic coal component for the levy of disincentive at the
quantity of 65%, 65%, 67% and 75% of Annual Contracted
Quantity (ACQ) for the remaining four years of the 12th Plan.
PASS THROUGH MECHANISM
Pass through mechanism for the concluded PPAs has been
approved by CCEA (14000 MW-case I and Case II post 2009
plants) on 21.06.13.
MoP has issued advisory on 31.07.2013 to CERC/SERCs to
consider the request of individual power producers in this
regard as per due process on a case to case basis in public
interest. The Appropriate Commission have been requested to
take immediate steps for the implementation of the above
decision of the Government.
INCORPORATION OF PPA CONDITION FOR COAL BLOCK
ALLOCATES
As suggested by MoP, Ministry of Coal has issued letters to IPPs
and State Governments for Incorporation of PPA condition at
the time of executing Mining Lease in coal block allocation
letters of IPPs in Power Sector so that the benefits of low cost
coal can be passed on to the consumers.
As suggested by MoP, Ministry of Coal has issued letters to coal
block allocatee IPPs for participation in the Tariff based bids
floated by DISCOMS.
IMPORT OF COAL
To meet its balance FSA obligations, CIL may import coal and
supply the same to the willing TPPs on cost plus basis.
TPPs may also import coal themselves if they so opt. Higher cost
of imported coal is to be considered for pass through as per
modalities suggested by CERC.
In order to maximize coal based generation, Power Utilities
were advised to import 82 Million Tonne (MT) coal for the year
2013-14. Coal based power plants of the country have achieved
around 8% growth in electricity generation since last year.
INDEPENDENT COAL REGULATORY BILL
MoP has stressed the need for setting up an independent coal
regulator with the authority to fix prices of coal and powers to
resolve disputes.
Independent Coal Regulatory Bill has been approved by the
Cabinet on 27.06.2013. Ministry of Coal introduced the Bill in
the Parliament in December, 2013
ALLOCATION OF NEW COAL BLOCKS TO NTPC
Inter-Ministerial Committee in MoC finalized allocation of 4
coal blocks in August, 2013 (Banai, Bhalumuda, Chandrabila,
KudanaliLaburi) for NTPC power projects of 8460 MW.
COAL LINKAGE FOR 13TH PLAN POWER POJECTS
Request for Coal linkage of 33 GW for 13th plan power projects
has been taken up with Ministry of Coal through Group
constituted in Planning Commission.
THIRD PARTY SAMPLING AND QUALITY CONTROL
MECHANISM

CHAPTER - 3
CAPACITY ADDITION PROGRAMME IN THE XIIth PLAN

1.
The National Electricity Policy (NEP) had stipulated power

for all and annual per capita consumption of electricity to
rise to 1000 units by 2012. This entailed provision of
adequate reliable power, at affordable cost with access to
all citizens. Electricity is in the Concurrent List in the
Constitution and the primary responsibility of structuring
its availability and distribution is that of the States.
However, both the Centre and the States have to play a
decisive and positive role. While shortages are presently
being experienced by each region, it is much more acute in
the case of some regions/States.
2.
The all India installed power generation capacity as on

31.12.2013 is 2,33,929.94 MW comprising of 1,59,793.99
MW Thermal, 39,893.40 MW Hydro, 4,780.00 MW Nuclear
and 29,462.55 MW R.E.S.
3.
To fulfill the objectives of the NEP, a capacity addition of

11. The Ministry of Power has adopted a robust monitoring

system for the capacity addition programme so as to see
that the projects are executed in time. The monitoring
mechanism comprises of 3 broad levels at which
monitoring of power projects are carried by the Ministry
viz. by the Central Electricity Authority; by the Ministry of
Power; and through the Power Project Monitoring Panel
(PPMP).
12. Monitoring by the Central Electricity Authority
The Central Electricity Authority (CEA) has a nodal officer
associated with each ongoing project which continuously
monitors the progress at site through frequent visits and
continuous interaction. The respective nodal officer is
responsible for submitting a report on the progress of each
of the ongoing power projects on monthly basis
highlighting the critical areas where corrective action is
required. The Chairperson, CEA reviews progress of the
ongoing projects with the nodal officers. The CEA also holds
quarterly review meetings with the developers and other
stakeholders.
Addition Programme is intensively monitored by the

Planning Commission and the Cabinet Secretariat as well.
14. Power Project Monitoring Panel (PPMP)
As a follow up to the decision in the Conference of Chief
Ministers' held on May 28th, 2007, the Ministry of Power
has set up a Power Project Monitoring Panel (PPMP) for
monitoring of Thermal and Hydro Generation Projects
targeted for commissioning during the 11th Plan along with
the associated transmission schemes. The PPMP at present
comprises four independent project monitoring
consultants. Each consultant is given specific projects. The
individual consultants make visits to the project sites and
furnish their progress report which is compiled by the
coordinating consultant. The progress of implementation
of the projects is accordingly reviewed by the Ministry on
the basis of the report received from the Monitoring Panel.
15. Advisory Group
An Advisory Group under the chairmanship of Minister of
State for Power(IC) has been constituted to discuss and
deliberate periodically issues pertaining to the Power
sector and suggest reforms in different areas relating to the
sector. Nine meetings of Advisory Group have been held.

CHAPTER - 5
STATUS OF ULTRA MEGA POWER PROJECTS

The Government of India had launched an initiative for the
development of coal-based Ultra Mega Power Projects
(UMPPs), each with a capacity of 4,000 MW. The objective
behind the initiative is to ensure cheaper tariffs utilizing
economies of scale, catering to the need of a number of States
and to mitigate the risk relating to tie up of land, fuel, water and
other statutory clearances etc. The projects are awarded to the
successful developers on the basis of tariff based competitive
bidding route employing Super Critical Technology. To tie-up for
necessary inputs and clearances such as provision of site, fuel
through captive mining blocks, water and in-principle
environment and forest clearances, project-specific shell
companies (SPVs) are set up as wholly owned subsidiaries of the
Power Finance Corporation Ltd. (PFC) the nodal agency for
these projects. These SPVs, along with the various clearances
etc. are subsequently transferred to the successful developer.
Four UMPPs namely Sasan in Madhya Pradesh, Mundra in
Gujarat, Krishnapatnam in Andhra Pradesh and Tilaiya in
Jharkhand have already been awarded to the successful bidders
and are at different stage of development. A brief detail of these
projects is as below:

for this UMPP was issued on 15.03.2013. MoEF had informed
that the captive coal blocks are in inviolate areas. In view of the
above, Ministry decided that RfQ for the project to be issued
afresh on the revised SBDs only on clearance of coal blocks
allocated to Chhattisgarh UMPP or allocation of new coal
blacks. Accordingly, the RfQ for 4000 MW Chhattisgarh UMPP
issued on 15.03.2010 has been withdrawn.
UMPPs in pipeline:
A site at Husainabad, Deoghar Distt has been identified for

setting up of 2nd UMPP in Jharkhand.
A site at Bijoypatna in Chandbali Tehsil of Bhadrak District

for coastal location and another site at Narla & Kasinga
sub division of Kalahandi District for inland location have
been identified for setting up of additional UMPPs in
Odisha.
A site at Kakwara in Banka Distt. has been identified for

setting up of UMPP in Bihar.
A site at Niddodi village in Karnataka has been identified

for UMPP by CEA and Govt. of Karnataka.

DEVELOPMENT OF NATIONAL GRID
India's natural resources are unevenly distributed such as, coal
resources are abundant in Bihar/Jharkhand, Odisha, West
Bengal, hydro resources are mainly concentrated in Northern
and North-Eastern Region, etc., far away from the demand
centers. Further, acquiring Right-of-Way (ROW) for constructing
33

transmission system is increasingly becoming difficult. These
necessitated creation of high capacity Transmission
Highways, so that, constraints in RoW do not become
bottleneck in harnessing natural resources.
POWERGRID is strengthening its transmission network to
establish inter-State and inter-regional links for enhancing the
capacity of National Grid in a time bound manner to ensure
optimal utilization of uneven distribution of energy resources.
As on November 30, 2013, National Grid with inter-regional
power transfer capacity of about 31,850 MW has been
established.
List of existing Inter-Regional links is as below:

INTER-CONNECTION WITH NEIGHBORING COUNTRIES

India, being centrally placed in South Asian region, sharing
political boundaries with SAARC countries, namely,
Bangladesh, Bhutan, Nepal & Sri Lanka, is playing a major role in
facilitating interconnection with these countries for effective
utilization of regional resources.
Presently, various interconnections upto 132kV voltage level
exist between India & Nepal and interconnections upto 400kV
voltage level exist between India & Bhutan. Recently, the
Company has successfully commissioned interconnection
between India and Bangladesh in September, 2013 through
Bahrampur (India) Bheramara (Bangladesh) 400 kV D/c line
and 500 MW HVDC back-to-back link at Bheramara.
For further evacuation of power from various HEPs coming up in
near future in Bhutan, 400 kV double circuit (D/c) line from
Punatsangchu-I HEP (in Bhutan) to Alipurduar (in India) is under
implementation and expected to be completed by 2015. For
enhancement of power exchange between India and Nepal,
another 400 kV D/c line from Dhalkebar (in Nepal) to
Muzaffarpur (in India) is under implementation through
separate Joint Venture Companies for Indian and Nepalese
portion in which POWERGRID is a partner. In addition, feasibility
study for interconnection between India and Sri Lanka through
HVDC bipole link which includes submarine cable for sea
portion has been carried out. Thus, efforts are being made to
strengthen interconnections amongst the SAARC countries.
Development of High Capacity Power Transmission Corridors
(HCPTC)
Being the nodal agency for grant of Long Term Access (LTA) to
private producers, POWERGRID has undertaken development
of high capacity transmission corridors for evacuation of large
quantum of power from various Independent Power Producers
(IPPs) mainly coming-up in resource rich States/ costal
locations, i.e. Odisha, Jharkhand, Sikkim, Madhya Pradesh,
Chhattisgarh, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh etc. and this power is
required to be transmitted to load centers located across the
States and Regions. Accordingly, implementation of 11 nos.
High Capacity Power Transmission Corridors (HCPTCs) have
been planned by the Company in consultation with CEA, IPPs &
beneficiaries. CERC has already granted regulatory approval for
11 nos. of High Capacity Power Transmission Corridors at an

estimated cost of about ` 75,000 Crore. Implementation of High
Capacity Power Transmission Corridors (HCPTCs) is progressing
as per schedule with completion in a phased manner matching
with generation projects. In fact, some of the elements under
HCPTCs of Chhattisgarh and Odisha have already been
commissioned and balance elements of HCPTC's are expected
to be completed progressively by FY 2015-16.
PRIVATE SECTOR PARTICIPATION IN TRANSMISSION
Promotion of competition in the electricity industry in India is
one of the key objectives of the Electricity Act, 2003. As per the
provisions under Section 63 of the Electricity Act, 2003 and the
Tariff Policy dated 6th January 2006, Ministry of Power, issued
Guidelines for Encouraging Competition in Development of
Transmission Projects and Tariff Based Competitive Bidding
Guidelines for Transmission Services. These guidelines aim at
laying down a transparent procedure for facilitating
competition in the transmission sector through wide
participation in providing transmission services and tariff
determination through a process of tariff based competitive
bidding.
As envisaged in the Guidelines, Ministry of Power had
constituted an Empowered Committee with representatives
from Ministry of Power, CEA, CTU (i.e., POWERGRID), Planning
Commission and two experts in power sector for development
of Inter-State Transmission lines (ISTS) through tariff based
competitive bidding route. As per the tariff policy issued by
MOP, since January , 2011, all the ISTS transmission projects are
to be implemented through tariff based competitive bidding
except some projects as identified by MoP which are to be
implemented by CTU. The Ministry of Power has also issued
Standard Bidding Documents (SBDs), viz. Request for
Qualification (RfQ), Request for Proposal (RfP), Transmission
Service Agreement (TSA) and Share Purchase Agreement (SPA).
As provided in the Guidelines, Ministry of Power has appointed
PFC Consulting Limited (PFCCL) and REC Transmission Projects
Company Limited (RECTPCL) as the Bid Process Coordinators
(BPC) for carrying out the bidding process.
As of now, Request for Proposal (Price bids) have been obtained
by the BPCs for sixteen transmission projects for
implementation through tariff based competitive bidding and
awards have been placed for the following Fourteen projects

CHAPTER - 8
RURAL ELECTRIFICATION PROGRAMME

Rural electrification has been regarded as a vital programme for
the development of rural areas. In 1947, only 1500 villages
were electrified in India. The per capita consumption was 14
units. The initial focus was on 'electrification for irrigation' to
enhance agricultural produce which was reflected in the
definition of village electrification accepted till 1997 that a
village was deemed to be electrified if electricity is being used
within its revenue area for any purpose whatsoever.
Departments/Power Utilities which were designated as

implementing agencies. Funds were being released by State
Government to the implementing agencies, Funds under the
programme were provided to the states as Additional Central
Assistance which followed the normal pattern of central
assistance i.e. 90% grant & 10% loans for special category
states, 30% grant & 70% loan for other states. The scheme has
been discontinued from 2005-06 onwards.
This definition of village electrification was reviewed in

consultation with the State Governments and State Electricity
Boards and following new definition was adopted after 1997:
iii) Kutir Jyoti SchemeThis programme was launched in 1988-89 to provide single
point light connections to households of rural families below
the poverty line including harijans and adivasi families. The
allocation amongst the States was based on the size of rural
population below the poverty line and level of village
electrification in the State, with higher weightage given to
States having larger population of rural poor and low
electrification levels. This scheme has been now merged with
RGGVY.
A village will be deemed to be electrified if electricity is used in

the inhabited locality within the revenue boundary of the
village for any purpose whatsoever.
In February, 2004, the definition was made even more
encompassing as also target specific. A village would be
declared electrified, if :
(i)
Basic infrastructure such as distribution transformer and

distribution lines are provided in the inhabited locality as
well as the dalit basti/ hamlet where it exists. (For
electrification through Non-conventional Energy Sources a
distribution transformer may not be necessary).
(ii) Electricity is provided to public places like schools,

panchayat offices, health centres, dispensaries,
community centres, etc. and
(iii) The number of households electrified should be at least
10% of the total number of households in the village.
Government of India from time to time had launched the
following programmes for electrification of rural areas in the
country :
i)
Rural Electrification under Minimum Needs

Programme (MNP)This was started in 5th Five Year Plan with rural electrification as
one of the components of the programme. Under this
programme funds were provided as Central assistance to the
states in the form of partly grants and partly loans. Since the
inception of the MNP, the component that relates to rural
electrification had been set off against the loan component of
MNP. The areas covered under the MNP for the purposes of
rural electrification were remote, far flung and difficult villages
with low load potential. The scheme has been discontinued
from 2004 onwards and has been subsequently merged with
the new scheme, Rajiv Gandhi Grameen Vidyutikaran Yojana.
ii) Pradhan Mantri Gramodaya Yojana(PMGY)This scheme was launched in 2000-01 but rural electrification
component was added in the next financial year-2001-02. It was
being implemented by State Electricity Boards/ Electricity
(iv) Accelerated Rural Electrification Programme(AREP)The scheme was introduced in the year 2003-04 under which
interest subsidy of 4% was to be provided on loans availed by
State Governments/Power Utilities from Financial Institutions
for carrying out rural electrification programme. The assistance
was limited to electrification of un-electrified villages,
electrification of hamlets/dalit bastis/tribal villages and
electrification of households in villages through both
conventional and non-conventional sources of energy.
(v) Accelerated Electrification of One lakh villages and One
crore householdsGovernment of India in 2004-05 introduced a scheme
Accelerated Electrification of One lakh villages and One crore
households by merging the interest subsidy Scheme- AREP
(Accelerated Rural Electrification Programme) and Kutir Jyoti
Programme. Under this scheme there was a provision for
providing 40% capital subsidy for rural electrification projects
and the balance as loan Assistance on soft terms from REC. The
scheme has now been merged with the new scheme RGGVY.
(vi) Rajiv Gandhi Grameen Vidyutikaran Yojana(RGGVY)This Scheme of Rural Electricity Infrastructure and Household
Electrification has been introduced in April, 2005 for achieving
the National Common Minimum Programme objective of
providing access to electricity to all Rural Households over a
period of four years. Rural Electrification Corporation (REC) is
the nodal agency for the programme. An amount of
` 5000 crore was provided for remaining years of X Plan period.
Under this scheme 90% Capital Subsidy will be provided for
rural electrification infrastructure through: -
39
(i) Creation of Rural Electricity Distribution Backbone (REDB)

with one 33/11 kV (or 66/11 kV) substation in every block
where it does not exist.
(ii) Creation of Village Electricity Infrastructure (VEI) for
electrification of all un-electrified villages/habitations and
provision of distribution transformer(s) of appropriate
capacity in every village/habitation.
(iii) Decentralized Distributed Generation (DDG) and Supply
System from conventional sources for Villages/Habitations
where grid supply is not cost effective and where Ministry
of Non-Conventional Energy Sources would not be
providing electricity through their programme(s).
Balance 10% will be loan assistance on soft terms by REC.
The scheme inter-alia provides for funding of electrification of
all un-electrified Below Poverty Line (BPL) households with
100% capital subsidy.
The scheme aims at electrifying all un-electrified villages over a
period of four years and provide access to electricity to all rural
households.
The official website of RGGVY is rggvy.gov.in.
The Government has approved continuation of RGGVY in 12th
Plan to electrify balance census villages and all habitations
above 100 populations and all eligible BPL households in the
country.
Decentralized Distribution Generation(DDG) under RGGVY

There is a provision of subsidy of ` 540 crore for DDG during XI
Plan period which is included in capital subsidy of `28,000 crore
available for RGGVY in XI Plan period. The guidelines on DDG
has been finalized and an order in this regard has been issued on
12.1.2009. Ministry of Power has also issued modified
guidelines on 5.1.2011 to take of difficulties mentioned by
various Stake holders. So far under DDG, 586 DDG projects for
an amount of ` 263.75 crore have been sanctioned. Out of 586
projects, 71 projects have already been commissioned. The
Provision for subsidy requirement for DDG has been revised to
` 1000 crores from 540 crores in the 12th plan.
STATUS OF RURAL ELECTRIFICATION UNDER RAJIV GANDHI
GRAMEEN VIDYUTIKARAN YOJANA (RGGVY)

11 kV level Substations, Transformers/Transformer
Centers, Re-conductoring of lines at 11kv level and below,
Load Bifurcation, Load Balancing, HVDS, installation of
capacitor banks and mobile service centers etc. In
exceptional cases, where sub-transmission system is weak,
strengthening at 33 kV or 66 kV levels may also be
considered.
Expected investment in Part-A (Baseline System) is

` 10,000 crore and that in Part-B is ` 40,000 crore.
Initially 100% funds for Part A and 25% (90% for special
category states) funds for Part B projects shall be provided
through loan from the Govt. of India. The balance funds for
Part B projects shall be raised from financial institutions.
The entire amount of loan for Part-A projects shall be

converted into grant once the establishment of the
required Base-line data system is achieved and verified by
an independent agency appointed by MoP.
Up-to 50% (90% for special category States) of the project

cost of Part-B projects shall be converted into grant in five
equal tranches on achieving the 15% AT&C loss in the

project area on a sustainable basis for a period of five years.
In addition, utility level loss reduction (AT&C losses) @ 3%
per annum for utilities with baseline loss levels exceeding
30% and @ 1.5% for utilities with baseline loss levels less
than 30% have to be achieved.
Part C of the programme is an enabling component for the

implementation of APDRP. Provision of ` 1,177 Crore
trough GBS has been provided in the scheme. This part is to
be implemented by Ministry of Power / Nodal Agency. PFC
has been appointed as nodal agency for operationalising
the programme. The following activities are included in
Part C:

Financial Restructuring Plan (FRP) of State owned Distribution
Companies
?
The scheme for Financial Restructuring of State Owned
Discoms was formulated and approved by the Government

keeping in view of the declining operational performance
and financial health of State Discoms and to enable the
turnaround of the State Discoms and ensure their long
term viability, which have accumulated huge losses and
unsustainable debt. The scheme contains measures to be
taken by the State Discoms and State Government for
achieving financial turnaround by restructuring their debt
with support through a Transitional Finance Mechanism by
Central Government.
?
The State Government will take over 50% of the
outstanding short term liabilities (STL) of the DISCOMS as

on March, 31, 2012. This will be first converted into bonds
to be issued by Discoms to participating lenders, duly
backed by State Government guarantee. The State
Government will then take over these liabilities from
Discoms in the next 2-5 years by way of issuing special
securities in accordance with their FRBM space. The State
Government will provide support in payment of interest
and repayment of principal till the date of takeover by
issuing special securities.
Government of India has approved special dispensation for the

States fo Jharkhand, Bihar and Andhra Pradesh to enable their
participation in FRP.
National Electricity Fund
1.
Government of India has approved setting up of National

Electricity Fund (Interest Subsidy Scheme) to provide
interest subsidy on loans disbursed to the State Power
Utilities, Distribution Companies (DISCOMS) - both in
public and private sector for the loans taken from Private &
Public Financial Institutions, to improve the infrastructure
in distribution sector.
2.
Rural Electrification Corporation (REC), would be the Nodal

Agency to operationalise the scheme.
3.
Under NEF scheme, interest subsidy would be provided on

loans taken by private and public power utilities in
distribution sector for non Rajiv Gandhi Gramin
Vidyutikaran Yojana (RGGVY) and non Restructured
Accelerated Power Development and Reforms Programme
(R-APDRP) projects.
4.
The preconditions for eligibility are linked to reform

measures taken by the States and the amount of interest
subsidy is linked to the progress achieved in reforms linked
parameters. The preconditions of eligibility are
operationalisation of State Electricity Regulatory
Commission (SERC), formulation of business plan for turn
around of utilities, re-organisation of State Electricity
Boards (SEB), release of subsidy by State Government to
DISCOMs, submission of audited annual accounts and
timely filing of tariff petition.
5.
There will be two categories of States for working out the

interest subsidy - Special category and focused states, and
States other than special category and focused states. Each
power utility eligible for subsidy on interest would be
assigned marks based on reforms measures i.e. reduction
in AT&C losses; reduction in revenue gap (Average Cost of
Supply (ACS) - Average Revenue Realized on subsidy
received basis); return on equity and multi year tariff
(MYT). Based on the consolidated score achieved on these
parameters, the utilities would be categorized and will be
eligible for subsidy in interest rates from 3% to 5% in States
other than Special category and focused states and 5% to
7% in Special Category and focused states.
6.
National Electricity Fund would provide interest subsidy

aggregating ` 8466 crore spread over 14 years for loan
disbursement amounting to ` 25,000 crore for distribution
schemes sanctioned during the 2 years viz., 2012-13
and 2013-14.
7.
NEF Steering Committee in the Financial Year 2012-13 has

approved proposal worth ` 10953.80 crores of 8 States
(11 Discoms) and ` 6017.82 cr. for the FY 2013-14 of
10 states (17 Discoms) for coverage under National
Electricity Fund.
?
The Balance 50% Short Term Liabilities will be rescheduled
by the lenders at the best possible terms with moratorium

on principal repayment.
?
The scheme contains two tier monitoring mechanism by
committees at Centre and State level to monitor the

progress of the turnaround plan.
?
Central Government would provide incentive by way of
grant equal to the value of the additional energy saved by

way of accelerated AT&C loss reduction beyond the loss
trajectory specified under RAPDRP and capital
reimbursement support of 25% of principal repayment by
the State Government on the liability taken over by the
State Government under the scheme.
?
The scheme contains immediate/continuing and other
measures required to be taken in a time bound manner by

the Discoms and State Governments to ensure long term
financial & commercial viability of State owned Discoms.
These measures include Financial Restructuring, Tariff
Setting & Revenue Realization, Subsidy, Metering, Audit &
Accounts and Monitoring.
?
The Scheme of FRP is under implementation in the States of
Haryana, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh and Tamil Nadu. Bonds

worth ` 46707 crores have already been issued in Tamil
Nadu, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh and Haryana. FRP of
Himachal Pradesh is being finalized. The States of Tamil
Nadu, Rajasthan and Haryana have seen noticeable
improvement in their power supply. Haryana and
Rajasthan now have surplus power and so they do not have
to buy electricity from spot market.

Ministry of Power recognizes the fact that private investors
have important role to play in the power sector growth
map of India. The stipulation under section 63 of Electricity
Act 2003 has provided impetus to the participation of
private sector in Generation and Transmission. Provision of
open access and tariff framework under Tariff Policy has
been put in place to create an enabling environment for
the private investors.
1.1 MAJOR POLICY INITIATIVES TO STREAMLINE THE
PROCESS OF PROJECT DEVELOPMENT :
To accelerate capacity addition several policy initiatives
have been undertaken by Ministry of Power. Some of the
prominent policies which have boosted the private players
confidence in the sector are :
National Electricity Policy.
Ultra Mega Power Project Policy.
Mega Power Policy. (since withdrawn).
Tariff Policy.
New Hydro Policy 2008
1.2 Captive Power Plants :

The Electricity Act, 2003 does away with the requirement
of approval/clearance of any authority for setting up a
captive generating plant. The new law (as amended) also
ensures non-discriminatory open access for transmission
of electricity generated from a captive generating plant to
the destination of its use, subject to availability of
transmission capacity. The surcharge and cross subsidies
are being progressively reduced in a manner as may be
specified by the State Regulatory Commission. Any person
setting up a captive power plant can also establish and
maintain dedicated transmission lines.
1.3 Automatic approval for FDI :
Automatic approval (RBI route) for 100% foreign equity is
permitted in generation, transmission, and distribution
and trading in power sector without any upper ceiling on
the quantum of investment. The Government on
22.08.2013 notified revised position for FDI Cap for Power
Exchanges registered under CERC Regulations, 2010 as
49% (26% FDI+23% FII) through 'Automatic Route'.

Power Plant. The Scope of work covers management of
Commissioning, PG test, Operation & Maintenance, Finance &
Accounts, Planning, Procurement & lnventory, Training, Health,

Safety, Quality and Environment etc.
The interconnection link between India and Bangladesh has
been operationalized. Power flow through the link has started
since Oct.,2013.
Bhutan
The Indo-Bhutan Energy cooperation aims to strengthen energy
security, promote stable energy markets and manage Green
House Gas emissions. The cooperation continues to promote
adequate energy and affordable supplies to support sustained
economic growth while addressing relevant environmental
concerns through activities leading to increased trade and
investment and the deployment of clean and efficient
technologies.
About 1400 MW power from the existing hydro projects in
Bhutan e.g. Chukha HEP (336 MW), Kurichu HEP (60 MW) and
Tala HEP (1020 MW) is being imported to India.
As per the MOU signed between Govt. of India and Royal Govt.
of Bhutan in December, 2009, ten hydro projects with the
aggregate capacity of about 11,000MW will be developed in the
different basins of Bhutan progressively by 2020. These projects
are to be developed either as inter-governmental model or as a
JV of PSU in India and corresponding organization in Bhutan.
The DPRs of the above generation projects are being prepared
by NTPC, NHPC, SJVNL, THDC, WAPCOS etc. Among the future
generation projects in Bhutan, Punatsangchu-I(1200 MW) is the
first project and likely to come up in March'15.
Nepal
India has been assisting Nepal in the development of its hydro
power potential and four HE schemes viz., Pokhra (1MW),
Trisuli (21MW), Western Gandak 15MW) and Devighat
(14.1MW) have been implemented with India's assistance. In
addition, four major water resources projects in Nepal viz.,
Pancheshwar with Rupaligarh (5600MW + 240MW), SaptaKoshi
(3300MW), Naumure (225MW) and Karnali (10800MW) are
under discussion at various levels as mutual interest projects.
Two more projects viz., Upper Karnali HEP (300MW) and Arun III
HEP (900MW) are under development by Indian CPSUs/IPPs.
Arun III project has been awarded by Govt. of Nepal to Sutlej
Jal Vidyut Nigam Ltd (SJVNL) on Build Own-Operate Transfer
basis for a period of 30 years and a MoU, in this regard has been
signed between Govt. of Nepal and SJVNL. DPR for the project is
under examination in CEA and aspects relating to water
availability and the power potential studies have been firmed
up/ finalized.
Cross Border interconnection and power trade
Power exchange between NEA and utilities on the Indian side
namely BSEB, UPPCL and UPCL has since been taking place on
the principle of catering to the power needs of isolated local
areas of both of the sides of the border. There are presently
61

about 12 cross border interconnections facilities in operation
for bilateral power exchange through 11kV, 33kV and 132 kV
transmission lines. The above State utilities export power to
Nepal and the quantum of power exchange volume is limited to
about 50 MW for which tariff is decided by the Power Exchange
Committee (PEC). India also supplies about 70 MU free power
from Tanakpur HEP (120 MW) to Nepal under the Mahakali
treaty.
Efficiency. The Indo-US collaboration in power sector is mainly

deploying and transferring Innovative Clean Energy
Technologies. In the last meeting held on 25.09.2012, three
priority areas were agreed upon:
Power Sale Agreement (PSA) between NEA and PTC has been
signed for import of 150MW for 25years. For initial 5-7years, it is
estimated that Nepal will have a power deficit to the tune of
200- 300 MW and this shortfall is likely to be met by import from
Indian Electricity market through the 400kV MuzaffarpurDhalkebar D/C line to be initially operated at 220 kV. In the next
7-10 years, hydro power projects in Nepal such as Upper
Marsyangdi (600MW) Upper Karnali (900 MW), Arun-III
(900MW), Tamakoshi (800 MW) etc., are likely to be
materialized. NEA would have huge surplus for export to India
after meeting their internal load demand. In order to evacuate
and transfer of power to India, additional high power density
400kV AC (Quad) cross border links in Upper Karnali- Berilly,
Upper Marsyangdi Gorakhpur, Arun-III- Muzaffarpur, ButwalGorakhpur corridors are being planned to be developed,
matching with the commissioning of the above hydro projects
in Nepal.
The instruments for collaboration with U.S. are :
Sri Lanka

POWERGRID's TRANSMISSION SYSTEM FOR DEVELOPMENT

OF NORTH EASTERN REGION (NER)
At present, POWERGRID has a transmission network at different
voltage levels viz. 400kV, 220kV and 132kV level for dispersal of
power from various central sector generating stations to
different States in North-Eastern Region as well as for
Export/Import of power with neighboring States/region.
POWERGRID's transmission system in NER consists of more
than 5,000 ckt. kms. of transmission lines including 864 ckt. km.
of inter-regional lines between NER & ER and 16 sub-stations.
The transmission system comprises of high capacity lines viz.
400kV D/c Misa Balipara Bongaigaon Siliguri corridor,
which is operational since early 2000. In the recent past, 2x200
MVA, 400/132kV substation at Silchar alongwith 400kV high
capacity corridor viz. Pallatana-Silchar-Byrnihat has been
commissioned for evacuation of power from Pallatana
generation project.
The Company had earlier executed 132kV Ziro-Daporijo-Along
transmission system and 220kV Kathalguri-Deomali
transmission system as deposit work of Arunachal Pradesh,
Balipara-Khupi-Kimi 132kV line as a deposit work of NEEPCO
and 220 kV Misa Byrnihat transmission line alongwith
2x160MVA, 220/132kV sub-station at Byrnihat as a deposit
work of Meghalaya. Another 2x315 MVA, 400/220 kV new substation at Byrnihat has also been completed recently, as a
deposit work of Meghalata.
At present, two thermal/ gas generating stations are being
developed in NER viz. Pallatana Power Project with 726 MW
capacity by ONGC Tripura Power Company Private Limited
(OTPC) in Tripura and Bongaigaon Power Project with 750 MW
capacity by NTPC Ltd. in Assam. To increase the thermal share of
NER States, entire power of the above two projects has been
allocated to NER States only. For evacuation of power from the
above projects and consumption in the States of NER,
development of a number of transmission schemes worth
about ` 5,000 crore has been taken up. Most of these lines have
been commissioned and the balance system would be
commissioned progressively by 2014-15.
For consumption of power within the NER States and
strengthening of the intra-State transmission and distribution
infrastructure in NER, 'Comprehensive Scheme for
Strengthening of Transmission & Distribution System in NER &
Sikkim' with a total cost of about Rs. 11,500 crore has also been
planned. This project envisages construction of transmission
network in each State of NER so as to take care of the power
transfer requirement of next 10 years. Funds for
implementation of the scheme are being arranged through 85%
from The World Bank loan, 10% from Govt. of India grant and
5% from individual State. POWERGRID has been identified as
the Project Management Consultant and the agreement with 6
States has been signed for implementation. The work would
commence upon sanction of the fund.
71

Govt. of India, in a major initiative towards development of
hydro potential in the North-Eastern Region has earmarked a
number of power projects having a total capacity of about
50,000MW. Accordingly, an outline of Transmission system has
been made for evacuation of power from future projects of
about 50,000MW in NER and 15,000MW in Sikkim/ Bhutan in
view of the fact that power from the above mentioned projects
would be utilized partly in NER, Sikkim and Bhutan while major
part of this power would have to be exported to power deficit
regions like Northern Region & Western Region. Transmission
lines from these generating sources will be traversing through
the narrow transmission corridor of Chicken Neck Area, in the
north of West Bengal, between the international borders of
Bangladesh and Nepal, having a length of about 18 km and a
width of only about 22 km. Keeping in view the generation and
growth of power demand in NER and Sikkim/Bhutan, the
capacity of transmission system required through the chicken
neck area would be of the order of 50,000 MW. As a large
quantum of power is to be transferred through the limited
corridor in Chicken Neck area, it is envisaged that the power
transfer capacity of each of the transmission corridor should be
of at least 5000-6000MW capacity. After detailed study of
various alternatives in this regard, it is found that the hybrid
system of 800kV HVDC with 765kV/ 400kV high capacity AC
lines is the most optimal one considering the Right-of-Way

requirement, transmission cost and line losses. Looking at the
total power evacuation requirement through Chicken neck
area, it is found that to meet the contingency & reliability needs,
about 5-6 nos. of high capacity HVDC and 3-4 nos. of high
capacity EHVAC corridors would have to be established through
Chicken Neck Area.
In order to strengthen the interconnectivity of NER with other
Regions for exchange of power, high capacity AC as well as HVDC
lines have been/ are being implemented. This includes about
2000km long +800kV, 6000MW HVDC bipole line from
Bishwanath Chariali (NER) to Agra (NR) which will be
interconnected en-route at Alipurduar (ER), with 3000MW
terminals each at Bishwanath Chariali & Alipurduar and
6000MW terminal at Agra. Alipurduar would be utilized for
taking power from Bhutan projects. The transmission system
also includes 4 nos of high capacity corridors, each of 6000MW
capacity in the Chicken Neck area, thereby reserving total
transmission capacity of 24,000MW in this constraint corridor.
This link would provide a strong interconnection among NER, ER
and NR/WR and would facilitate transfer of surplus power
available in NER after meeting the demand of NER States to
other regions. Construction of this link is expected to be
completed in 2015-16.

Draft CERC (Deviation Settlement Mechanism and

related matters) Regulation, 2013
Central Commission notified the Central Electricity
Regulatory Commission (Unscheduled Interchange
charges and related matters) Regulations, 2009. The
concept of UI Charges served its useful purpose over all
these years and there has been a marked improvement in
the grid discipline. The Commission has narrowed down
the frequency range over the years and imposed penalties
on some state utilities for grid indiscipline. There was no
major grid failure since the introduction of UI till 2012
when the grid failed twice in two days. The Enquiry
Committee constituted by Ministry of Power to analyse
the cause of grid failures recommended, inter-alia, further
tightening of grid frequency and review of UI mechanism.
In the light of above, Commission reviewed the existing UI
Regulations and proposed to adopt a new CERC (Deviation
Settlement Mechanism and related matters) Regulation,
2013 which provides for making the measures for
enforcing grid discipline more stringent along with
narrowing of grid frequency range from 49.7 Hz-50.2 Hz to
49.95 Hz to 50.05 Hz. It has also been proposed to
introduce strict limits on the volume of under/over drawal
and under/over injection even if the grid frequency is
"49.7 Hz and above". In order to ensure compliance,
graded additional charges for the Deviation during a time
block appropriately linked to the quantum of breach have
been proposed to be imposed in addition to the charges
for the Deviation in the event of breach of above volume
limits for over drawal/under injections when the grid
frequency is "49.70 Hz and above". The Commission
circulated draft Regulations inviting comments /

suggestion of the stake holders for wider consultation
before finalization of the regulation.
5.
Draft Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (Indian

Electricity Grid Code) (Second Amendment)
Regulations, 2013
In view of the draft regulations on deviation settlement
mechanism, corresponding changes were also required in
the IEGC regulations. Accordingly, the Commission
circulated draft Central Electricity Regulatory Commission
(Indian Electricity Grid Code) (Second Amendment)
Regulations, 2013 for the comments of stakeholders.
6.
Tariff Regulation for the Control Period 2014-19

regulations for 2014-19 by issuing an approach paper and
solicited comments of stakeholders on the basis and
assumptions to be considered while framing the new
terms and conditions of tariff regulations. The
Commission, through this approach paper, sought views
from the stakeholders to review the existing tariff
principles and norms in view of the developments during
the ongoing tariff period, current and perceived
challenges in the Power sector and duly recognizing the
need for sustainable market development based on the
experiences over the years. The Commission, through
approach paper, aimed at soliciting views of stakeholders
on the different aspects of tariff setting during tariff
period 2014-19. The Comments and data received on the
approach paper was considered to draft Terms and

MANAGEMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL ISSUES
With the ever increasing threat of Climate Change,
environmental degradation due to increasing pollution and
growth is a major area of concern today. Therefore, more than
ever before, environment management and its conservation
has now assumed paramount importance, not only for all the
organizations but for all the countries over the world, be it a
developed or developing. Fortunately, POWERGRID's
contribution towards environmental degradation is almost
negligible. Still, we strongly believe that conservation and
management of the environment is an essential part of
development. Understanding the catastrophic impact of
environmental degradation, POWERGRID is the first company
who has evolved Environmental and Social Policy &
Procedures (ESPP) in 1998 to take care of environmental and
social issues arising out of its projects.
POWERGRID as a responsible corporate entity realizes its
obligations and commit itself to goal of sustainable
development. Sustainable development is one such
opportunity which allows us to consider businesses beyond
national bulk electricity transfers. With the IMS/ESPP in place,
POWERGRID is quite nicely placed to explore opportunities that
separate it from other utilities-both state and privately run-on
the plank of environmental management and social
development.
POWERGRID, the leader in Sustainability Reporting in the Indian
power sector, released its second biennial sustainability report
based on internationally acclaimed/accepted GRI-G3
Guidelines. The report is externally assured by M/s TUV
Rheinland with GRI application level B+ following International
Standards like Accountability, UK Standard AA1000:2008 APS
and AA1000:2011 SES. This report apart from show-casing
POWERGRID's achievements gives all stakeholders a clear
picture of our contributions to sustainable development
through its activities.
POWERGRID has constantly strived to be a responsible
corporate citizen by utilizing technological resources to
optimize route alignment for the transmission corridor with a
specific emphasis on avoidance of Forest, National Parks /
Wildlife Sanctuaries and other ecologically sensitive and
biologically diverse areas. During the construction of 765 kV S/C
Indore-Dahod line, the Great Indian Bustard Sanctuary was
completely avoided by increasing the line length even as the
proposal for clearance was in very advance stage. Likewise
POWERGRID has also avoided the Achanakmar-Amarkantak
Biosphere Reserve in our 765 kV D/C Dharmajaygarh-Jabalpur line.
As part of Sustainable Development, POWERGRID has taken the
initiative to conserve precious water resources through Rain
111

Water Harvesting system which is now an integral part of every
new substation design. Every Substation being constructed now
is being provided with rain water harvesting systems. Recently,
a Waste Paper Recycling plant has been commissioned in the
premises of its 400/220 kV GIS Substation at Gurgaon. The
waste paper generated from POWERGRID Corporate Office is
now utilized for making company's letterheads, visiting cards,
envelopes, file / folders, D.O. pads etc. with the aim of phasing
out procurement of paper in due course of time. Further,
POWERGRID is constructing the National Transmission & Asset
Management Centre (NTAMC) building in Manesar Substation,
Gurgaon as per Green Rating for Integrated Habitat Assessment
(GRIHA) norms and has already registered with Association for
Development and Research of Sustainable Habitats (ADaRSH)
for Green Rating.
POWERGRID is committed to the conservation of natural
resources and has taken many initiatives in this regard. Land
which has now become a scarce resource hence a plethora of
issues arise during the land acquisition process for the
construction of sub-stations. POWERGRID has constantly
upgraded and improvised itself by investing in new
technologies like Gas Insulated Switchyard (GIS) which requires
less land area in comparison to the traditional Air Insulated
Switchyard (AIS). Path breaking practices like Consent Award
under LA, Act 1894 for substations in Durg, Hyderabad, Korba,
Kotra etc. and Direct Purchase of private land have been
undertaken in Padghe, Varanasi, Alipurduar etc. to ease /
reduce the confrontations faced during land acquisition.
Corporate Social Responsibility
POWERGRID is of firm belief that beyond its shareholders;
Business also has responsibility to a broader constituency that
includes its key stakeholders - the people of the communities in
which it operates. Moreover, there are evidences to suggest
that companies with sound sustainability programs in all
probability are better managed and able to deliver stronger
financial performance. Continuing with this legacy we have
taken many proactive measures in the field of Community
Development, Livelihood generation through skill
development, healthcare, education, plantation, sanitation etc.
The Company has earmarked 1% of Profit After Tax (PAT) for the
preceding year as non lapsable budget for CSR activities which
shall be enhanced to meet the requirement of new legislation
on CSR in due course of time.
The 'Corporate Social Responsibility & Sustainability Policy' has
been formulated and being implemented with the objective to
address the issue of Community Development in the
neighbourhood areas around POWERGRID's operations. A
Board Level Committee having three Functional Directors &
four Independent Directors as its members, headed by CMD,
has been constituted as pert the DPE guidelines. Standing
Committee on CSR & Sustainability, comprising of senior level
executives has also been constituted to study and recommend
112
projects for the approval of Competent Authority in an open

and transparent manner.
Various projects / schemes are being undertaken under
Corporate Social Responsibility policy, over and above the
statutory obligations, in various locations across India with the
objective of need based Socio-Economic development of the
weaker & deprived sections of Society. The unique feature of
our endeavour is a predominant thrust on Backward Districts
identified by Planning Commission for Backward Region Grant
Fund (BRGF).
Besides various Infrastructural projects a dedicated Capacity
Building programmes on Transmission Line Tower Erection, is being
undertaken at four locations in the states of Assam, Maharashtra
and Tamil Nadu with the aim on providing skill and employment to
the eligible youth in the transmission industry. POWERGRID under
its CSR initiative is also sponsoring 15 meritorious students from
J&K coming from weaker/under privileged section for preparing
them for admission to reputed Engineering Colleges of India in
Kashmir Super-30, Kashmir Centre.
To help victim of Natural calamities, POWERGRID has
committed contribution of ` 5 Crore towards restoration of
flood affected Kedarnath in Uttrakhand and also contributed
` 2.0 Crore to the Chief Minister Relief Fund, Odisha, for severe
cyclonic storm PHAILIN in Odisha in October, 2013.
TELECOM BUSINESS
In order to shore up its revenue base, POWERGRID spotted the
opportunity of convergence between transmission & telecom,
and thereby entered into telecom business to utilize spare
telecommunication capacity of its Unified Load Despatch Centre
schemes, leveraging its country wide transmission infrastructure.
The Company holds Infrastructure Provider Category I (IP-I)
Registration, National Long Distance (NLD) and Internet Service
Provider (ISP) Category 'A' licenses. With its brand name
POWERTEL, it offers services such as Domestic Leased Circuits
(both annual and long term contracts), Internet Services, and
Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS). The Company owns &
operates a telecom network of about 29,279 kms providing

State Distribution Utilities
Ministry of Power has formulated an Integrated Rating
Methodology covering the State Power Distribution
Utilities, which was unveiled in the State Power Ministers'
Conference in July 2012.
The main objective of the integrated rating system for the

state distribution utilities is to devise a mechanism for
incentivising / dis-incentivising the distribution entities in
order to improve their operational and financial
performance and overall financial strength. The objective
of the methodology is to rate State utilities in power
distribution sector on the basis of current levels of
performance as well as on relative improvements in
performance achieved on a year to year basis. The
integrated ratings will enable adoption of a calibrated
approach by Banks/FIs considering funding assistance to
various state distribution utilities. The ratings may also
serve as the basis for Government assistance under
various initiatives in the state power sector.
The Integrated Rating framework would cover all state
distribution utilities (including SEBs/utilities with
integrated operations) except state power departments.
The integrated ratings would be carried out on an annual
basis by independent credit rating agencies.PFC has been
nominated by MoP as the nodal agency for coordinating
the activities relating to integrated rating of state
distribution utilities including appointment of credit
rating agencies.

15.0 RESTRUCTURED ACCELERATED POWER DEVELOPMENT
AND REFORM PROGRAMME (R-APDRP)
Power Distribution Sector has always been identified as a
significant link in chain of power generation & supply as
financial viability of entire power sector depends on
financial viability of this sector as it is solely responsible
for collecting energy charges from consumers. However,
high commercial & technical losses in this sector have
always placed enormous financial burden on state and
central governments.
Aiming at financial turnaround in the sector, MOP, GOI
launched Accelerated Power Development Programme
(APDP) in 2000-2001 wherein additional central plan
assistance was made available to states undertaking
distribution reforms in a time bound manner by signing
MOU with MOP. The funds were for 63 distribution circles
identified as Centers of Excellence by adopting various
interventions.
118
In March 2002, APDP was rechristened as APDRP with

urban focus & introduction of reforms element. Incentive
scheme was introduced to incentivize utilities achieving
cash loss reduction. The AT&C losses during this
programme reduced from 38.86% in 2001-02 to 29.24% in
2007-08. However, the absolute level of losses were still at
a higher level and needed further efforts for achieving
lower loss levels. Also reliable & verifiable baseline data
for revenue & energy were required for verifying exact
AT&C losses in an area and further detection of
commercial and technical loss pockets.
In order to achieve the above objective, the need for
adoption of integrated IT system by utilities was recognized
and hence, MOP, GOI launched restructured APDRP (RAPDRP) in July 2008 as a central sector scheme for XI Plan.
The scheme comprised of two parts-Part-A & Part-B.
Part-A of the scheme being dedicated to establishment of
IT enabled system for achieving reliable & verifiable
baseline data system in all towns with population greater
than 30,000 as per 2001 census (10,000 for Special
Category States) Installation of SCADA/DMS for towns
with population greater than 4 lakhs & annual input
energy greater than 350MU is also envisaged under PartA. 100% loan is provided under R-APDRP for Part-A
projects & shall be converted to grant on completion and
verification of same by Third Party independent
Evaluating agencies (TPIEA) being appointed by
MOP/PFC. MOP,GOI has earmarked Rs.10,000 Crore for RAPDRP Part-A.
Part-B deals with regular Sub Transmission & Distribution
system strengthening & up-gradation projects. The focus
for Part-B shall be loss reduction on sustainable basis. 25%
loan is provided under Part-B projects and upto 50% of
scheme cost is convertible to grant depending on extent
of maintaining AT&C loss level at 15% level for five years.
For special category states, 90% loan is provided by GOI
for Part-B projects and entire GOI loan shall be converted
to grant in five tranches depending on extent of
maintaining AT&C loss level at 15% level for five years.
Achieving AT&C loss level of greater than 15% shall reduce
loan conversion to grant accordingly for that financial
year. Upto 10% scheme cost for Part-B can be converted to
grant each financial year for normal category states and
upto 18% of scheme cost can be converted to grant each
financial year for special category states. MOP, GOI has
earmarked sanctioning of schemes of upto ` 40,000 Crore
under R-APDRP Part-B. Of this, upto ` 20,000 Crore would
be converted to grant depending on extent to which
utilities reduce AT&C losses in project areas.
R-APDRP also has provision for Capacity Building of Utility
personnel and development of franchises through Part-C
of the scheme. Few pilot projects adopting innovations
are also envisaged under Part-C.
Power Finance Corporation has been designated by MOP
as the nodal agency for operationalzing the scheme. The

nodal agency has appointed process consultant & has
empanelled IT Consultants, IT implementing agencies,
SCADA/DMS Consultants, SCADA implementing agencies
and Third Party Independent Evaluating Agencies-Energy
Accounting. Under Part-A (IT) of the scheme, all of 1398

8.0 INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS
Regular interactions are held with the representatives of
the various Associations/Unions. The thrust area for
discussions is related to policies as well as issues
concerning with enhancing production, efficiency and
improving organizational climate. The above actions of the
Management paved the way for better employeeemployer relations and the industrial relations during the
year remained cordial. Recreational cultural and sports
activities are being organized during different occasions
for improving inter personal relations and also to bring
out the talent of employees and their family members.
9.0 ENVIRONMENT
The Company's mission statement which, interalia states
that developing and supplying to the nation, State and
Local communities, an efficient economic environmentally
sustainable and socially responsible hydro power stresses
the need to develop adequate long term capacity to
manage environmental issues in all projects. Towards this
end, SJVN has formulated a comprehensive Environment
Management Plan to ameliorate any potential
environmental impacts due to our projects for sustenance
of resources over a long term.
The Environment Management Plan (EMP) for Nathpa
Jhakri Hydro Electric Project has been formulated for
` 35.85 Crores. The implementation of activities under this
plan namely, Compensatory Afforestation, Muck Disposal
Plans, Fisheries Sustenance Plan, Green Belt Development,
Post Commissioning Environmental Monitoring etc. have
been completed while the CAT plan works are being
implemented by State Forest Deptt.
The Environment Management Plan (EMP) for Rampur
Hydro Electric Project has been approved for ` 45.52
Crores and environment management activities such as
CAT plan, Compensatory Afforestation, Fisheries
Management, Muck Management and Environmental
Monitoring etc are being implemented.
In addition to the above, SJVN has also established an
Environmental Laboratory at its Rampur Hydro Electric
Project to carry out sample collection and analysis of
water, wastewater, ambient air quality and noise
monitoring for Rampur HE Project. This laboratory is also
being utilised for other SJVN Projects under operation and
construction phases. The laboratory shall be the corner
stone of SJVN pollution abatement and control efforts as it
shall provide qualitative and quantitative data for decision
making. The laboratory is envisaged to get recognized from
137

Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) under Ministry of
Environment & Forests (MoEF) and the National
Accreditation board for Testing & calibration Laboratories
(NABL) in near future.
employment opportunities, women empowerment, child

development, financial assistance to vulnerable group
families, upward revision of monetary grants under the
policy, grievance redressal mechanism, independent R&R
monitoring, sharing of benefits generated by the projects
with host population like free power supply to project
affected families and evaluation of R&R implementation
plans by an external independent agency.
10.0 RESETTLEMENT & REHABILITATION AND CORPORATE

SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
SJVN being a responsible corporate citizen is committed to
enhancement of the quality of life of local communities
and area development in the vicinity of its projects.
Though involuntary displacement is inevitable in
hydroelectric projects causing trauma to the displaced
communities, SJVN chooses the least displacing
alternative sites for its projects thus minimising adverse
impacts. SJVN carries out Social Impact Assessment (SIA)
study in the proposed projects quite prior to its project
execution so that adverse impacts are identified and
mitigation measures are evolved. In addition, a detailed
Baseline Socio-Economic Survey (SES) is conducted in the
nearby villages of proposed projects enabling formulation
of holistic Resettlement & Rehabilitation and CSR Plan for
the affected communities of the projects to improve their
Socio-economic conditions.
So far SJVN has implemented BOD approved R&R Plans in
its two Hydro Power Projects which are in operation and
construction stages. First in Nathpa Jhakri Hydro power
Station (1500MW) and second in Rampur Hydro Power
Project (412 MW), both situated in Himachal Pradesh.
SJVN has formulated and adopted exhaustive R&R plans
for NJHPS and RHEP with budget Outlay of ` 7.24 Cr. and
` 53.84 Crs. respectively. The basic objectives of the R&R
Plans are to increase the socio-economic standard of the
PAFs. The total expenditure incurred till date on various
R&R measures in NJHPS is ` 13.60 Crs (beyond the budget
outlay of ` 7.24 Crs. Based on societal needs ) and in RHEP
is ` 53.84 Crs. The other projects are under survey and
investigation stages, hence R&R plans have not been
implemented in such projects. These R&R Plans include,
besides statutory land and house compensation, various
R&R benefits like providing alternative agricultural land,
employment, housing facilities, financial assistance for self
employment as well as various infrastructural and
community development programs. The total expenditure
incurred till date on various R&R measures in NJHPS is
` 13.60 Crs (expenditure incurred beyond the budget
outlay which was as per societal needs) and in RHEP is
` 53.84 Crs. SJVN follows the guidelines of National R&R
Policy. The provisions made under the SJVN's R&R Policy
are superior to those of National Policy and meet the
standard international R&R norms of the World Bank. The
main thrust of the Corporate R&R Policy is on sustainable
economic development, participatory management
involving project affected people in community
development works, better housing facility, strengthening
of social institutions, capacity building of local youth for
138
SJVN, being a responsible corporate citizen is continuously

concerned about the well being of the host community
residing around its projects. It perceives the welfare
measures for the host community more as a responsibility
rather than an obligation. Therefore, it keeps constant
interactions with the local community to assess their
needs and on the basis of societal needs, SJVN formulates
strategies and schemes for the upliftment of the society.
Based on such philosophy SJVN has approved and adopted
its own Corporate Social Responsibility- Community
Development Policy in the year 2011 which is based on
the CSR guidelines issued by DPE, GOI in April 2010. The
major concerns of SJVN under Corporate Social
Responsibility (CSR) are:
A.
Education
B.
Health care
C.
Community facilities
D.
Infrastructural facilities
E.
Assistance during natural disasters etc.

As per SJVN CSR Policy the Annual CSR Budget Plan is to be
kept from 0.5% to 2% of Net Profit After tax of preceding
year. As on date SJVN has spent approx ` 124 Crs on CSR
works. The CSR Plan in SJVN is controlled by a registered
Trust namely SJVN Foundation with Director( Personnel)
Chairman and six other trustees who are heads of various
departments and projects of SJVN. As per HP Govt.
notification for Local Area Development Committee,
SJVN is required to provide 1.5 % project cost of RHEP i.e
` 30.75 Crs. to local govt. for area development works
around the project. So far an amount of ` 26 Cr have been
spent on LADC works in RHEP .
Keeping in view the new Guidelines on Corporate Social
Responsibility and Sustainability for Central Public Sector
Enterprises issued by DPE , SJVN has kept provision of
sustainable development program on health and hygiene
and has also adopted one backward district Chamoli in
Uttrakhand for implementation of CSR programs under
CSR Plan 2013-14 for overall development of the district.
In future also it will follow the new CSR guidelines issued
time to time.
Further with the implementation of Companies Act 2103,
PSEs are required to spend 2% of average of Profit Before
Tax of last three immediate FYs. Accordingly, SJVN has
revised its CSR budget for FY 2013-14 to ` 24.57 Cr. The

major CSR works during the year are, launching of 6 mobile
health vans, organising 30 specialised health camps, skill
development programs for 400 people, creation of 15
community assets, financial support of ` 1.0 Cr for relief
measures to the flood affected people in Uttrakhand,
construction of 5 children parks in Shimla, Laying of
Sewerage System in village Jhakri etc.
The R&R and CSR-SD activities are being implemented
through well designed institutional arrangements like
establishment of a separate R&R/ CSR cells at projects ,
monitoring and grievance redressal mechanisms and

impact evaluation system.
The World Bank which evaluated and assessed the social
development activities in SJVN projects has commented in
their Aide Memoir as under.
The success of the social development activities
undertaken in this project is quite rare for India, and can be
considered as one of the best examples of social work in
bank-assisted projects in India. It should both exemplified
and emulated in other projects

NONPOWER ACTIVITIES OF DVC
WATER RESOURCE MANAGEMENT
Out of the originally planned seven storage reservoirs in the
Damodar Basin, construction of multipurpose Dams at Tilaiya
(1953), Konar (1955), Maithon (1957) and Panchet (1959) was
completed in the First Stage. But the designed storage levels
could not be achieved due to constraints in acquiring the
required land from the State Governments (GoJ & GoWB) in
respect of Maithon and Panchet reservoirs. In the first phase,
total flood reserve capacity planned was 1.51 million acre feet.
But due to nonacquisition of land, flood reserve capacity
achieved was only 1.047 million acre feet, which has further
reduced to 0.95 million acre feet due to progressive siltation as
per the latest capacity survey reports of the year 2010. Maithon
and Panchet being terminal reservoirs, play a vital role in water
resources management in the valley. However, even with the
partial implementation of the scheme, DVC, over the years, has
been able to achieve moderation of the floods in the lower
valley to a great extent. By judicious operation of reservoirs, all
the downstream committed requirements are being met in full,
thus achieving efficient water resources management.
Up- to-date Progress made in water resources management
during the year 201314 upto 30th November, 2013 is as under:
FLOOD CONTROL
During the year under consideration with onset of southwest
monsoon on 15.06.2013 in the entire Damodar Valley Area it
was active since then and the same withdrew from entire Valley
on 19.10.2013. There was no remarkable rainfall in the valley till
3rd week of August.The average monsoon rainfall up to
September 2013 over the Barakar and Damodar catchments
were 703 mm & 720 mm respectively against the normal
monsoon rainfall of 992 mm and 1035 mm respectively. The
rainfall deficit was 29.13 % and 30.13 % respectively up to
month of september. However, during the 2nd week of Oct.
heavy to very heavy rainfall in most of the places of DV Area
occurred due to the deep depression by the impact of the
severe cyclonic storm PHAILIN, that catorized as category 3
Cyclone on the Stiff Simpson scale and made landfall near Orissa
at Gopalpur on the north eastern coast of India. As a
consequence, both the catchments viz. Barakar and Damodar
received excess rainfall of 201.65% and 273.93% respectively in
the month of October alone. At the end of monsoon, the
average monsoon rainfall over the Barakar and Damodar
catchments were 952 mm & 980 mm respectively against the
average normal monsoon rainfall of 1074 mm and 1107 mm
respectively; however the overall rainfall deficit were 11.36 %
and 10.66 % respectively.
Due to the impact of cyclone Phaline and subsequent high

releases from Tenughat Dam, there were five instances of flood
release from Panchet reservoir and one from Maithon reservoir.
The maximum Reservoir Level attained in Maithon was at RL.
494.78 ft. and that of Panchet was 428.84 ft. on 15.10.2013.
During this flood operation, maximum combined flood release
was 1,15,000 cusec (80,000 cusec from Panchet and 35,000
cusecs from Maithon) for a duration of 6 hours w.e.f. 16 hours
on 14.10.2013 to 22 hours on same date. No major flood release
was required from Konar and Tilaiya Reservoirs during this
monsoon period.
IRRIGATION
Operation and maintenance of the Barrage and Irrigation
System of the Damodar Valley Corporation was transferred to
the Government of West Bengal in the year 1964. DVC provides
water from Maithon & Panchet Reservoirs, as per advice of the
Member Secretary, Damodar Valley Reservoir Regulation
Committee, Central Water Commission based on the indents
placed by the Government of West Bengal, for Kharif and Rabi
cultivation in the Lower Valley. Though there is no allocation for
Boro cultivation in the Regulation Manual for Damodar Valley
Reservoirs, surplus water, if available in the reservoirs as on 1st
November, is allocated for Boro cultivation, after taking into
account all the committed requirements.
The monsoon rainfall in the valley during this year was nearly
normal. Water supply for irrigation of Kharif crops during 201314 was about 9.13 lakh acre ft which irrigated approximately
8,21,800 acres of land within the DV Command Area through
LBMC & RBMC canal in four districts of West Bengal viz
Burdwan, Bankura, Hooghly & Howrah. About 70,000 Ac.ft of
water which is committed for Rabi irrigation irrigated
approximately 50,000 acres of land within the DV Command
Area in two districts of West Bengal viz Burdwan & Hooglhy.
The post-monsoon Damodar Valley Reservoir Regulation
Committee Meeting for the year 2013-14 has not been held till
date. However a meeting to review position of water availability
for Boro Irrigation during non-monsoon season of 2013-14 was
held on 29/11/2013 with Member Sectary, DVRRC, wherein it
has been decided to allocate 443.80 Th.acft. of water for Boro
irrigation from the available surplus water. It is also decided in
the meeting that additional 10 Th. acft. of water from DVC's
quota for power generation shall be spared for Boro crop in
Howrah and Hooghly Districts of West Bengal which were
affected to some extent by the October, 2013 flood. So the total
allocation for Boro irrigation is 453.80 Th.Ac.ft. with a target of
1,51,000 acres of land proposed to be irrigated during the
season 2013-14 within the DV command area in four districts of
West Bengal viz Burdwan, Bankura , Hooghly & Howrah.
DRAWAL OF INDUSTRIAL & DOMESTIC WATER
Many industries have come up in the Damodar Valley Area in
the last few decades due to the availability of power and water
in the region. Presently, DVC supplies water to 184 agencies
(125 in Jharkhand and 59 in West Bengal) for industrial and
149

domestic purposes. The total permitted quantity to different
agencies located in the State of West Bengal is 454.78 MGD and
that of in the State of Jharkhand is 461.28 MGD. Demand of
water is increasing due to rapid industrialization in the Valley
Area. The DVRRC allocated 16.3 MGD of water to meet
Municipal demand of Bankura Water Supply Project and 1.96
MGD to Neuturia & Raghunathpur Water Supply Project of the
PHE Department, GoWB. Water allocation for KTPP phase II for
an amount of 6.8 MGD was also allocated by DVRRC to DVC.
WATER INVESTIGATION AND DEVELOPMENTAL INITIATIVES

At the time of partition of India, about 80% of the irrigated area
of Punjab went to West Pakistan leaving India with very meagre
irrigation resources. The mighty Bhakra- Nangal and Beas
Projects changed the scenario and turned Northern India into
Granary of the Nation. The Bhakra Nangal and Beas Projects
have not only brought Green Revolution in the States of Punjab,
Haryana and Rajasthan, but also White Revolution by way of
record production of milk. The States of Punjab, Haryana and
Rajasthan are being supplied upto 28 million acre feet of water
every year which irrigates 135 lac acres of land.
RENOVATION, MODERNISATION AND UPRATING (R,M&U)
R,M&U of old power houses not only gives new lease of life to
the machines but is also a significant step towards meeting the
aspirations of the nation by adding low cost peaking power to
the system.
BBMB has undertaken an ambitious R,M&U of its existing hydro
generating units. Through R,M&U, BBMB has already added
311 MW of incremental capacity. Presently R,M&U of 5 No.
machines at Bhakra Left Bank Power House is under progress.
All the five machines will be uprated from 108 MW to 126 MW
each, thus providing total additional capacity of 90 MW to the
system. The contract stands awarded to the consortium led by
M/s Sumitomo Corporation, Japan. The total cost of RM&U
works is ` 489.77 crore approx. (inclusive of cost of equipment
to be procured by BBMB i.e. Generator Transformers,
Numerical protection schemes and exclusive of IDC,
Bank/Finance/Legal charges etc.).
Scheduled date for commencement of RM&U work on the first
Unit (Unit No.2) was 1st January, 2010. But due to discrepancy
in the metallurgy of the Runner offered for inspection by
154
M/s Hitachi, RM&U work was commenced by the Consortium

on 26th April, 2010 with scheduled completion period of 210
days i.e. upto 21st November, 2010. Due to design and quality
issues in Lower and Upper Brackets, mismatching of Bus Duct
sections, in-adept handling of site issues and non-deputing of
Project Manager by M/s Andritz Hydro Austria and subsequent
failure of the first Unit in four attempts of Spinning on
10.07.2011, 01.08.2011, 05.10.2011 and 07.10.2011, detection
of metallic particles deposited in Generator on 31.01.2012 and
damage Stator assembly & many other components required
cleaning/rectification/replacement; completion of R,M&U of
the first Unit has got delayed. The First Unit (Unit No.2) has been
commissioned on 18th July, 2013 after successful R,M&U.
Similarly, the Second Unit (Unit No.5) which was under R,M&U
works w.e.f. 11th April, 2011, has also been commissioned on 2nd
October, 2013, after adopting similar remedial measures as in
first Unit. The third Unit (Unit No.4) is presently under
shutdown for R,M&U works w.e.f. 23rd November, 2013 and is
likely to be commissioned by July, 2014 as per the schedule
submitted by the Consortium. The R,M&U works of remaining
two Units shall be completed in 2015-16. The Consortium is
being persuaded for taking appropriate measures for
expeditious completion of works.
HYDROLOGY PROJECT PHASE-II
Ministry of Water Resources (MoWR), Government of India
(GoI) has initiated Hydrology Project Phase-II (HP-II) with the
help of the World Bank. Agreement for the HP-II between
International Bank of Reconstruction and Development (IBRD)
and Government of India was signed on 19.01.2006. The project
has become effective from 5th April 2006. The duration of the
project was six years initially and with extension is to close by
31.05.2014.
The objectives of the project are to extend and promote the
sustained and effective use of Hydrological Information System
(HIS) by all potential users concerned with water resources
planning and management, both in public and private sectors,
thereby contributing to improved productivity and cost
effectiveness of water related investments.
Under the project, BBMB has been chosen for developing Real
Time Decision Support System (RT-DSS) strengthened with
sophisticated Data Acquisition System, for operational
management of reservoirs of BBMB with revised base cost of
` 377.8 million
The objective for the development of RT-DSS is to support
operational decisions well in advance for long term planning
and also at short term intervals. RT-DSS will provide top
management with a well-structured, user friendly, practical and
complete water resources management information system
that will assist the decision-makers in taking the right decisions
on the basis of good comparison of different strategies under

various scenarios. Real time DSS will be quite useful for issuing
advance flood warning for deployment of area evacuation
measures by Administrative Authorities to eliminate/minimize
the loss of lives and properties.
The work of installation of 85 no. remote stations constituting
Rain Gauge, Automatic Full Climatic Stations, Snow Pillows and
Automatic Water Level Recording Stations is at an advance
stage of completion. Earth receiving station at Chandigarh has
been established. The RTDSS model developed by M/s DHI has
been installed and its tuning and refinement is going on.
The project, being of scientific and innovative nature, is being
implemented through human resource development strategy
and capacity building programmes for complete development
of the skill and competencies of the personnel at all levels.
Successful development of real time DSS for operational
management of reservoirs of BBMB will certainly provide
comprehensive, responsive and sustainable solutions in water
sector and would be an important stepping stone for BBMB and
the Nation as well. The Real Time Decision Support System for
River Sutlej / River Beas shall be a 'first mover' in the country; it
may be replicated in all the major River Basins.
GOLDEN JUBILEE OF BHAKRA DAM

Employment of Physically Challenged Persons

From the very beginning it has been the Endeavour of SJVN to
give due representation to the physically challenged persons in
the employment of the Corporation. However due to
geographical conditions and peculiar construction work of the
hydroelectric projects, most of the posts in the technical area do
not suit the disabled persons. As such, their employment has
mainly been in no-technical posts. At present, their strength is
13 (Thirteen), which is above 0.88 % of the total manpower of
the Corporation.

COMPUTERISATION
The Office is generating Computerized Accounts through two
packages namely COMPACT (PAO-2000) for accounts of Pay &
217

Accounts Offices and CONTROLLER'S ACCOUNT through ELekha for monthly accounts of Pr. Accounts Office. The Package
named COMPACT (PAO, 2000) consisting of Pre-check,
Compilation, GPF and Pension etc. modules for Pay and
Accounts Offices, CPFM package for New Pension Scheme and
CPSMS package for monitoring plan scheme have been working
properly. Alongside with COMPACT, all PAOs are uploading the
daily abstract of accounts on the 'E-LEKHA' website on day-today basis. 'E-LEKHA' is e-governance initiative by the Controller
General of Accounts. The expenditure and receipt of the
Ministry can be viewed from link e-lekha on the website
cga.nic.in with a valid user ID and password. The monthly
accounting data is also now uploaded on the Ministry of Power
website i.e. powermin.nic.in Controller of Accounts.
E-PAYMENT:
The Controller General of Accounts, Ministry of Finance has
developed a facility in COMPACT for electronic payment
(e-payment through digitally signed electronic advices). This
has replaced the existing system of payment through cheques
while leveraging the COMPACT application running in all Pay &
Accounts Offices of all Ministries/Departments of Central
government.
The e-payment system is a fully secured web based system of
electronic payment services which introduces transparency in
government payment system. Payment from the Government
under this system is made by credit of money directly into the
bank account of the payee through a digitally signed e-advice
generated from COMPACT through the 'Government e-
218
payment Gateway (GePG)' on a secured Communication

channel. In Ministry of Power, ` 3803.17 Crores have been paid
through e-payment up to November, 2013.
Report on e-payment is being regularly submitted to the
O/o CGA. 99.51% payments have been done upto November,
2013 by this office through GePG.
DEFINED CONTRIBUTION PENSION SCHEME:
There were 149 subscribers under New Pension Scheme in M/o
Power as on 30.11.2013.
CENTRAL PLAN SCHEME MONITORING SYSTEM:
The Plan Scheme Monitoring system is a Central Sector Plan
Scheme of the Planning Commission and is being implemented
by the Office of Controller General of Accounts. The scheme
aims at establishing a suitable on-line Management
Information System and Decision Support System for the Plan
Schemes of the Government of India. The System is envisaged
to track fund disbursement from government of India up to the
last beneficiary under Plan Schemes and ultimately report on
fund utilization at different levels of implementation on a real
time basis. This shall not only make monitoring of the Plan
Schemes more effective but also augment efficiency of financial
management in the public sector. In Ministry of Power though
details of sanctions and releases under all plan schemes are
being entered into CPSMS, presently RGGVY (Rajiv Gandhi
Grameen Vidyutikaran Yojna) is taken up for detailed
implementation under CPSMS. Now all the agencies in RGGVY
are registered in the CPSMS.

CHAPTER - 37
AUDIT OBSERVATIONS OF C&AG

SUMMARY OF THE REPORTS OF C&AG OF INDIA PERTAINING TO MINISTRY OF POWER
Report No. 13 of 2013 on Compliance Audit Observations
Highlights of significant paras included in the Report are given
below:
Damodar Valley Corporation
11.1 Ash Management in Thermal Power Stations
The Theme Audit on Ash Management in Thermal
Power Stations of DVC covering the period 2009-10 to
2011-12 highlights deficiencies concerning generation
and evacuation/disposal and utilization of ash. Audit
observed that except the year 2009-10, the Corporation
could not utilize the generated ash fully. It was also
observed that the bulk of ash utilization centered on
mine fillings by incurring huge avoidable transportation
cost.
Failure of the corporation to limit fly ash generation by
way of beneficiated/blended coal resulted in loss of
opportunity to save generation cost. It was observed
that despite two of its thermal power stations being
under the Ministry of Environment and Forests (MoEF)
coverage to use beneficiated/blended coal, the
Corporation continued to violate such stipulation of
MoEF.
The ash management situation aggravated due to
considerable delay in acquisition of land at Bokaro
Thermal Power Station (BTPS) and Mejia Thermal Power
Station (MTPS). Audit also observed significant delays in
installation of dry fly ash collection system in the thermal
power stations despite it being a mandatory
requirement from pollution control angle. This has not
only brought one of the thermal power stations (BTPS)
unit to the brink of closure due to the discharge of ash
slurry into the Konar river but also created serious health
related problems for the local inhabitants, destroyed
agricultural land and polluted adjoining dams near
MTPS. Further, it was observed that the Corporation did
not exercise appropriate control in either framing a
sound and feasible qualifying requirement for tendering
of evacuation of ash or exercised any due diligence
before awarding of contract to Lafarge India Private
Limited.
11.2 Irregular/double payment
The Audit has pointed out non-observance of proper
procedure and misuse of official capacity and absence of
security and other safety measures led to
irregular/double payment of Rs. 58.95 lakh. Due to nonobservance of the existing system, payments were
released to the parties for no work/job. It was further
observed that important accounts and records/

documents were not kept under lock and key and were
stored in open public places. Bank payment books for the
period September and October 2011 were burnt and
severely damaged in April 2012 by chemical burning as
detected by the inspection team of the management.
Thus, non-observance of proper procedure, absence of
security and other safety measures led to
irregular/double payment of Rs. 58.95 lakh that included
Rs. 39.03 lakh for which no work orders were issued, no
jobs were executed and vouchers were burnt and Rs.
19.92 lakh for which payments already released earlier.
NHPC Limited
11.3 Irregular encashment of casual leave and optional
holidays
As per instructions of Department of Public Enterprises
(DPE), leave rules are framed by Central Public Sector
Enterprises (CPSEs) with the approval of their Board of
Directors keeping in view the broad parameters of the
policy/guidelines laid down by the Government of India.
DPE has not issued any specific instructions/guidelines
permitting encashment of casual leave and optional
holidays. Audit observed that payment of Rs. 20.32 crore
to employees were made on account of encashment of
casual leave/optional holidays during the years 2001 to
2010 which was irregular.
Power Finance Corporation Limited
11.4 Performance Related payments (PRP) and perquisites to
employees in excess of DPE norms
Department of Public Enterprises (DPE) issues
instructions for regulating pay, allowances, perquisites
and performance related payments by Central Public
Sector Enterprises (CPSEs) to their personnel from time
to time. Decision of Government to revise pay and
allowances of executives of CPSEs with effect from 1st
January, 2007 was conveyed (26 November 2008) by
DPE. This was followed by a Presidential directive (30th
April 2009) by Ministry of Power to Power Finance
Corporation Limited (PFC) to revise the pay and
allowances of their personnel strictly as per DPE
guidelines. Audit observed that DPE guidelines did not
prescribe protection of PRP drawn earlier by the
employees and hence the rationale of financial loss to
employees by the Board was flawed. Further, gradewise
ceilings were fixed by DPE in addition to overall ceiling of
5 per cent of distributable profits and Board was not
empowered under DPE instructions to approve PRP in
219

excess of these gradewise ceilings. Thus, PFC made
payments of PRP/Baseline Compensation in violation of
the guidelines of DPE.
In respect of payments towards perquisites in excess of
DPE ceilings, Audit observed that in addition to the
identified perks and allowances aggregating to 50 per
cent of basic pay, PFC has been providing interest subsidy
on housing loans to employees. The benefit in respect of
interest subsidy on housing loans to executives which
was beyond the maximum ceiling of 50 per cent of basic
pay of executives as fixed by DPE, aggregated to Rs. 1.11
crore during 2007-12.
12.1 Irregular payment towards encashment of Half Pay
Leave (HPL) and Sick Leave
It has been observed that CPSEs deviated from the DPE
guidelines and made irregular payments of Rs. 391.31
crore from January, 2007 to November, 2012 to their
employees towards HPL encashment on superannuation
over and above the ceiling of 300 days. Out of total
irregular payments mentioned above, the CPSEs of
Ministry of Power namely NTPC Limited, PGCIL, NHPC
Limited, REC, Bokaro Power Supply Company Pvt.
Limited, PFC, NTPC SAIL Power Company Pvt. Limited
and SJVNL paid Rs. 71.88 crore to their employees
towards encashment of HPL on superannuation.
Report No. 1 of 2013
3.16 Saving of entire provision
In Ministry of Power under three sub heads viz. Rajiv
Gandhi Grameen Vidyutikaran Yojana (RGGVY) (Rs. 600
crore), Transfer to National Investment Fund (NIF) (Rs. 52
crore) and National Electricity Fund (NEF) ( Rs 249.57
crore) entire provision remained unspent which
indicates that the estimates were not prepared after
adequate scrutiny of the projects/schemes.
Performance Audit of Rajiv Gandhi Grameen Vidyutikaran
Yojana (RGGVY)
Performance Audit of RGGVY was conducted in 27 states. Out of
576 projects under implementation during Xth and XIth Plan, 169
projects were test-checked covering the period from 2004-05 to
2011-12. The report contains Audit Findings on formulation of
scheme, financial management, project execution, monitoring
& evaluation and outcomes of RGGVY. It has been observed that
despite an implementation approach characterized by rushed
approvals and involvement of numerous stakeholders, the
objectives of providing access to electricity to all, giving
electricity connection free of cost to every un-electrified BPL
family and electrifying every un-electrified village/habitation by
2009 had not been achieved. Against the total approval of Rs.
220
33,000 crore for Xth Plan and first two years of XIth Plan by CCEA,
allocation of funds during 2004-12 as per Budget Estimates and
Revised Estimates was Rs. 31,338 crore and Rs. 27,488.56
crore respectively. MOP did not fully utilize the funds allocated
under the scheme and released only Rs. 26,150.76 crore to REC
up to March 2012 and the latter in turn released Rs.25,652 crore
to PIAs up to March 2012. PIAs had intimated utilization of Rs.
22,510.14 crore (20 May 2012). Balances remaining unutilized
with PIAs ranged from Rs. 1.47 crore to Rs.375.07 crore in 19
States while PIAs reported excess utilization ranging from Rs.
3.64 crore to Rs. 115.13 crore in eight States. As substantial
unutilized fund remained with PIAs, an amount of Rs. 337 crore
towards interest earned by PIAs on unutilized funds remained
to be remitted to the Government account as of August 2013
and thus, did not further the cause of RGGVY.
REC did not link the terms of release of funds with achievement
of physical targets set under approved RGGVY projects. In some
cases, this resulted in release of 67 per cent to 90 per cent of the
project cost to PIAs/contractors whereas the physical
achievement against the released funds was less. During Xth and
XIth Plan, 576 projects were sanctioned originally for Rs.
26,427.47 crore and awarded for Rs. 31,268.12 crore.
Sanctioned cost estimates for all projects were revised to Rs.
34,070.87 crore as of December 2012.
Against the targeted coverage of 1,23,601 un-electrified villages
and 4,12,88,438 rural households including 2,30,10,265 BPL
households, only 1,04,496 un-electrified villages (84.54 per
cent) and 2,15,04,430 rural households (52.08 per cent)
including 1,90,80,115 BPL households (82.92 per cent) had
been covered by 31st March 2012. However, actual achievement
would need to be viewed against the fact that the scheme was
beset with the problems as discussed in the report.
RGGVY also envisioned that Rural Electricity Distribution
Backbone (REDB), Village Electrification Infrastructure (VEI) and
Decentralized Distributed Generation (DDG) would indirectly
facilitate power requirement of agriculture and other activities
including irrigation pump sets, small and medium industries,
khadi and village industries, cold chains, healthcare, education
and IT etc.. It was felt that this would facilitate overall rural
development, employment generation and poverty alleviation.
However, in actual practice, the projects sanctioned were based
on a minimalist approach of providing oneunit electricity per
day per household.
The formulation of the scheme, from inception, was flawed as
identification of villages and estimation of beneficiaries was
based on unreliable data. Implementation of the scheme was
characterized by several instances of non-adherence to the
scheme guidelines, including important inputs like
authenticated BPL lists and RE plans not being in place. RGGVY
projects were planned without adequate survey work as DPRs

were prepared on the basis of old data and had many
discrepancies. There were instances of inefficiencies in contract
management, execution of works and violation of provisions of
tripartite agreement by the concerned State Governments.
been avoided had REC performed its role in a more effective

manner by ensuring that DPRs were based on field surveys so
that physical and financial estimates were more realistic and
subsequent revisions were minimized.
Project implementation was beset with slow execution of

works, idle investments, weak monitoring, non-fulfilment of
commitments made in the agreements, delays in award of
contracts and non-handing over/charging of completed works.
Beneficiary survey revealed that publicity needed to be

increased and made result oriented. The survey further
revealed that concerned DISCOMs failed to (a) supply
committed hours of electricity to BPL consumers and (b) raise
and recover the energy bills from the connections.
Though considerable delays in the implementation of the

projects were attributable to contractor, PIAs and REC,
accountability for the delayed execution of projects was not
determined at any level i.e. PIA, REC and MOP. As such, the LD
clause in the Letters of Award were rendered irrelevant.
Conversely, if the contractors were not responsible for the
delays, then it would appear that the full responsibility would lie
on the PIAs. However, no action has been taken by PIAs on
erring officials nor has REC/MOP taken action against PIAs,
thereby underlining lack of concern for time lines.
Monitoring mechanism for ensuring quality though in place,
could not keep pace with progress of works and resultantly,
there were delays in exercising significant and appropriate
checks making the monitoring process largely ineffective.
The nodal agency, REC, on its part, was not able to ensure
completion of projects within scheduled time to which delays in
sanction of projects also contributed. Inadequacies could have

Union government (Civil) Autonomous Bodies
The report contains results of test audit of financial transactions
of the Central Autonomous Bodies. Three autonomous bodies
viz. National Power Training Institute (NPTI), Bureau of Energy
Efficiency (BEE) and Central Electricity Regulatory Commission
(CERC) under Ministry of Power have been mentioned in the
report. Audit has pointed out that there has been delay in
presentation of audited accounts for the year 2010-11 to
Parliament in case of CERC & BEE (para 1.2), internal audit of
CERC was not conducted for the year 2011-12 (para 1.4.1 (a)),
physical verification of fixed assets of NPTI, BEE & CERC was not
conducted during the year 2011-12 (para 1.4.1 (b)) and physical
verification of inventories in respect of NPTI, BEE & CERC was
not conducted during the year 2011-12 {para 1.4.1 (C)}.
