DHUKWAN SHP

Introduction
Govt of UP has entrusted implementation of 24 MW Dhukwan Small Hydro
Project to THDCIL. Project is located near village Sukhwan-Dhukwan in Tehsil
Babina, in Jhansi district of Uttar Pradesh on river Betwa. Implementation
agreement was signed between GOUP and THDCIL on 2nd Sep09.

Project is about 37 Km from Jhansi on Jhansi-Lalitpur road. The nearest rail

head is Jhansi. The project site falls in the survey of India toposheet No. 54
K/12/NW and is connected with all weather metalled road. The geographical
co-ordinates of the project site are latitude 25012 E and longitude 780 33 N.

The project as envisaged in DPR prepared by THDC India limited is of 24 MW

capacity, utilizing the storage of existing reservoir of Dhukwan masonry cum
Earthen Dam. The length of the Dam is 2972 m. The gross capacity of the
existing reservoir is 5780 MCum with top F.S.L. 273.7 m.

The construction to be under taken shall comprise of () 1433m long head race
channel, 4nos of RCC Intake barrels, Forebay, Penstock three numbers of 4.0 m
dia each, Surface Power house with three units of 8 MW capacity vertical
Kaplan turbine and a () 961m long Tail race Channel.. The estimated
generation from this project at 46.53% load factor is 97.82 Million units.

The project does not involve any R&R works. 39 Ha forest land is required for
Project works. Stage-I Forest clearance for the same has been accorded by
MoEF on 27.11.12. Final(2nd Stage) Forest diversion has been cleared by
Central Nodal Forest Officer, Lucknow and letter has been sent to Principal
Secretary (Forest), Govt of UP on 17th Sep-13for further necessary action. The
project can be implemented within a time period of approx. 30months.

Government of Uttar Pradesh allotted Dhukwan HEP on Betwa River to

THDCIL for DPR updation& implementation of this Project. An
Implementation Agreement was signed on 02 September 2009 between
GOUP & THDCIL.

The Dhukwan Hydro Power Scheme is proposed in the Down Stream of

already existing Dhukwan Reservoir on River Betwa.

Dhukwan reservoir was created in year 1907 by the Britishers by

constructing Dhukwan masonry cum earthen dam on River Betwa near
Babina in Jhansi District about 37 Km away from Jhansi .

Matatila Dam & Reservoir is located up stream of Dhukwan Reservoir

&Parichha Dam is located Downstream of Dhukwan Dam.

There is about 51 meter drop between Dhukwan&Parichha Dam in Betwa

River. Surplus water available in Dhukwan reservoir is released but this
drop is still unutilized.

 COST ESTIMATE

15.1 GENERAL

Cost of the scheme is worked out in sufficient details so as to arrive at

realistic cost estimate. The details of cost abstract are given in part I of
this volume. The cost of civil works is worked out for installation of 3x8
MW. The estimates of quantities for civil works have been prepared and
given in part II of this volume. The basis of working out costs is as below:

a. The HRC will be constructed, partially with the excavated material and
balance from the borrowed material from the near by borrow area. The
quantities from excavation of different structures like, approach channel,
Penstock, Power House etc will be used for filling for HRC. Therefore, the
lead has been considered 2.00 Km for the item of common excavation of
these structures.

b. Rates for various components of civil structures have been adopted on the
basis of CWC guidelines and prevailing market price for the items which
are not included in the schedule. The worked out rates of civil works are
given in part III of this volume.

c. Provisions made for followings as per CWC / Central Electricity Authority

norms.

i. Establishment charges at the rate of 8% percent of the cost of

Civil works and 6.00% for Electromechanical works.

ii. Audit and accounts charges at the rate of 1 percent of the cost
of works.

iii. Losses on stock at the rate of 0.25 percent of the cost of civil
works.
 d. Cost of electromechanical units including generator and control panels etc.
and cost of other equipments such as switchyard equipment, crane,
ventilation system equipment etc have been arrived at by escalating the
cost of equipment mentioned in Dhukwan DPR of May 2004 up to March
2010.
e. Duties, taxes, freight and insurance charges have been included in the
cost of electro-mechanical equipment. The estimates include inspection,
erection and commissioning charges, losses on stock and maintenance
during construction.

15.2 ABSTRACT OF COST

Abstract of item wise cost of civil and electromechanical works is worked

out and given on page 1 of this volume. The estimated hard cost of the
project at April 2010 price level comes out Rs. 182.53 Cr, IDC charges
Rs. 12.89 Cr. and total estimated cost including IDC comes out Rs.
195.42 Cr. A subsidy of Rs. 11.70 Cr. has also been considered, which
makes the net cost of the project as Rs. 183.72 Cr. Cost of installation
works out to Rs. 7.655 Cr. per MW. A detail of all cost analysis is given
in part I of this volume.
