PRELIMINARY PROJECT WORKS:

Investigations:
 Geological investigations at all locations of the project and various required
studies have been completed.
REHABILITATION & RESETTLEMENT:

THDCIL has formulated a Rehabilitation & Resettlement policy (R&R Policy) for the
VishnugadPipalkoti Hydro Electric Project. The Policy is based on the National
Rehabilitation & Resettlement Policy 2007 (NRRP-2007) incorporating the better
features considering the World Bank Guidelines. The Policy addresses the R&R
issues through proactive approach and appropriate Planning on Land Acquisition.
Besides disbursement of compensation by Special Land Acquisition Officer (SLAO),
the Policy envisages provisions of grants and other benefits considering the
categories and the Entitlements. For effective implementation of R&R policy,
Rehabilitation Action Plan (RAP) has been formulated so that after reasonable
transition period, the affected families improve, at least regain their previous standard
of living, earning capacity and production levels.
At present the RAP implementation is under progress & is being monitored by the
third party and the World Bank Authorities.

additional power from their state owned GhaatGhar PSS and Koyne
71
HEP. Moreover, they have mentioned that the power from Malshej Ghat
PSS at DPR conversion cost of Rs. 2.89 per unit and with 25%
conversion Loss, may not be affordable to them. However, they may
consider for purchase of peak power in future from MalshejGhat PSS at
a conversion cost of Rs. 1.20 per Unit.
17 Feb’2017 CMD, THDCIL in this regard had a meeting with Secretary (CAD) on
20.02.17, wherein the Secretary (CAD) has explained that in view of
comments of Energy Department and the surplus power in Maharashtra,
the JV may need to explore the possibility of PPA with other DISCOM
and States.
18 April’2017 THDCIL set up at Pune office has been closed and shifted to Rishikesh
on 29.04.17.
19 Aug’2017 CMD, THDCIL, vide letter dated 21st Aug’17, has again requested Sec
(CAD), GoMH for consideration for allotment of Malshej Ghat PSS to the

Nov’2015.
20 Oct’2017 WRD, GoMH vide letter dated 26.10.17 has intimated that on the advice
of the Finance Department, GoMH for the reasons of financial
constraints of their current liabilities to infrastructure projects in the state
in addition to farmers loan waiver and for the burden of implementation
of 7th pay commission report in the state, it is not viable to give approval
in present situation and thus the development of Malshej Ghat PSS has
been kept in abeyance.
21 Dec’2017 CMD THDCIL in reference to GOMH letter dated 26.10.17, vide letter
dated 01.12.2017 has requested Sec (CAD), GoMH that considering the
present liabilities of GoMH, THDCIL is willing to infuse full equity
component of the project cost through its internal resources, and GoMH
need not to invest in the project. GoMH may enter into Implementation
Agreement and PPA to purchase full power on cost plus basis as per
CERC regulations.
22 April’2019 Dy. Secretary (WRD), GoMH, vide letter dated 12.04.19 has intimated
that considering the pumping energy cost at prevailing available rate of
the grid, if the updated conversion cost of Malshej Ghat is around Rs. 5
per Unit, then GoMH can initiate the process to sign the Implementation
Agreement & PPA for Malshej Ghat PSS, and had invited THDCIL to
discuss their view with Sec (CAD), WRD, GoMH, on mutually convenient
date.
23 Jul’2019 Subsequently, GoMH vide its letter dated 12.04.19 had again invited
THDC regarding allotment of Malshej GhatPSS to the JV, if it is viable
for THDCIL to implement the project at a tariff of Rs. 5.00 per Unit
(i/c cost of pumping).
THDCIL vide its letter dated 11.06.19 had submitted the revised cost of
the project to GoMH along with updated tariff.
24 Oct’2019 GoMH, vide its letter dt. 14.10.19, has intimated that as per the revised
tariff model submitted by THDCIL, the levelized tariff with new CERC
guidelines is Rs. 4.78/ unit while with 2% escalation method the firstyear
tariff is Rs. 3.89/unit, it seems that both tariff determinations are
excluding the pumping cost. During the joint meeting held on 29.12.18
under the chairmanship of Add. Chief Secretary (Finance), GoMH, the
72
representatives of Energy Deptt. had expressed their reluctance to
provide free pumping power for PSS considering the current scenario of
the grid and opined that the Tariff cost shall be inclusive of prevailing
pumping cost. Considering the above facts, the revised tariff models
submitted by THDCIL was studied &scrutinized by their field offices. As
per the remarks of the field offices, the levelized tariff Rs.4.78/unit and
first year tariff Rs. 3.89/unit furnished by THDCIL are in order as per the
calculations, but are exclusive of pumping charges cost. Hence
assuming pumping cost @ Rs.2.00/unit and considering same tariff
model the levelized tariff evaluated is Rs.7.48/unit, whereas the first
year tariff is Rs. 6.09/unit, which is well above Rs. 5.00/unit accepted
rate by Planning, Finance & Energy Department of GoMH. In view of the
comments, GoMH has suggested that if THDCIL changes or reduces
the parameters affecting tariff, it will in turn reduce the tariff rate.
With above suggestions, GoMH has invited THDCIL to discuss the
issues with Secretary (CAD), WRD, GoMH on a convenient date.
25 Oct’2020 In view of tariff requirement of GoMH, discussions with GoMH on
acceptable tariff range and concession required for the same is being
planned.
26 Dec’2020 As suggested above tariffs for the project has been reworked and
intimated to Dy Secy. WRD GoMH, & Under Secy. Hydel Work MoP
vide letter No. THDC/RKSH/D&E/837 Dated 30.12.2020.
