A. Economies of Scale: With a single project, the company may miss out on potential economies of
scale that could be achieved by managing multiple projects simultaneously. Combining
resources and expertise across several projects can lead to cost savings and increased efficiency.
B. Financial Stability: Relying on a single project can make the company more financially
vulnerable. If issues arise with the project, such as delays, cost overruns or unexpected technical
difficulties, it could have a significant impact on the company’s overall financial stability.
C. Dependency on Project success: The success of the company becomes highly dependent on the
success of a single project. If the project encounters setbacks or fails, it could lead to severe
consequences for the company.
D. Market Competition: In a scenario with multiple projects under one company, the company
may have a competitive advantage in bidding for new projects. A single project model might
limit the company’s ability to compete with other companies that have a broader portfolio and
experience in managing multiple projects simultaneously.
E. Limited Skill development: A company managing only one project may not have the
opportunity to develop the diverse set of skills and expertise. Multiple projects can expose the
company to different challenges , fostering the broader skill set among its workforce.
F. Market presence: Having multiple projects under one company can enhance its visibility and
reputation in the market. This broader presence may attract more opportunities and
partnerships compared to a company focused on a single project.

While there are several potential advantages to running multiple hydropower projects, there are also
some disadvantages and challenges that a company may face in managing two or more such projects
simultaneously. Here are some potential disadvantages:
It's important for a company considering multiple hydropower projects to conduct a thorough risk
analysis, have effective project management strategies in place, and be prepared to address the unique
challenges associated with each project. Proper planning and risk mitigation measures are essential for
the successful operation of multiple hydropower projects by the same company.

Cost of Project:
We can see the cost benefit enjoyed by Sanjen Project. Per MW cost was reduced by 10 crore.
Major issue faced by Sanjen was local hurdles while issuing IPO. The issue was resolved by forming a
District Coordination Committee. The committee was given responsibility to discuss and decide on a
module of share allocation which was agreed by all stakeholders. The affected area was classified as
Very Affected, Affected, less affected and rest of the district. The share ratio was decided by committee
and share was allotted accordingly.
Upper Sanjen Jalbidhyut has already started generating revenue whereas Sanjen Jalbidhyut will be
completed within this fiscal year.
2. Api Power Company Limited
The company is developing three hydropower projects at Darchula District, namely Naugad
Gadh Hydropower Project (8.5 MW), Upper Naugad Gadh HydroElectric Project (8 MW),
Chameliya HydroElectric Project (40 MW).
The Naugad Gadh and Upper Naugad Gadh both projects are completed and revenue
generation has started.
The company has allotted shares to affected locals of Naugad gadh hydropower project on
2074/12/03 whereas the affected locals of Upper Naugad were not given any shares. Only CSR
activities were conducted in the area.
The Chameliya Hydroelectric project was undertaken by same company. The PPA date was
2075/11/15. The required capital for the project was arranged through issue of right shares. In
this case also, the locals were not allotted shares. Only CSR activities were conducted.
Challenges:
a. Local Issues:
JAHEP falls in Dolpa and Jajarkot districts. So, while issuing shares of JHEP, locals of affected
area of Jajarkot should also be given shares. A company should do a comprehensive
workout on finalizing the share allocation if both the projects are run by same company.
b. Financial Challenge:
When both the projects are run by same company, the financing of later project will be
determined by the performanace of earlier project. If the progress of earlier project is not
satisfactory, it will be hard to gain confidence of financiers to invest their money.
c.
Legal Provisions
As per Section 9(4) of Securities Registration and Issue Regulation 2073, Any public company
shall allocate upto 10% of its total issued capital to the locals of project affected area. For this
purpose, project affected area means the area as defined by Environment Impact Assessment
Report. The Regulation further states that if there is classification of affected area in the EIA
report, then priority for share allocation should be determined based on that classification of
more and less affected area.
