STATEMENT

STATEMENT REFERRED TO IN REPLY TO PARTS (a) TO (e) OF STARRED QUESTION NO. 113 TO BE ANSWERED IN THE LOK SABHA ON 01.03.2001 REGARDING NATIONAL POWER POLICY FOR HYDRO POWER GENERATION.

(a) to (e) : Government of India had announced a policy on Hydro Power Development in August, 1998 in order to accelerate the pace of hydro power development in the country. The Policy envisages the following measures for this purpose :-


(i) Providing adequate funds to Central Sector and State Sector Hydel Projects;

(ii) Basin-wise development of new hydro potential sites;

(iii) Creation of shelf of projects and bankable DPRs through intensive survey and investigations;

(iv) Promoting private investment through joint venture arrangement;

(v) Establishing a dedicated fund for promoting hydel projects;

(vi) Rationalisation of hydro tariff;

(vii) Providing an institutional mechanism for dealing with geological risks;

(viii) Taking projects locked up in inter-State issues or languishing due to want of funds; and


(ix) Providing greater thrust for development of small hydel projects.


The hydro capacity addition target and achievement during the last three years have been as under :-

Target	Achievement	1997-98	516 MW	223 MW	1998-99	544.5 MW	542.5 MW	1999-2000	1563 MW	1371.5 MW



The project wise details of the physical and financial performance of on- going hydroelectric projects programmed for commissioning during these years are given in Annexure-I.

The hydro potential of the country has been assessed at 84044 MW (at 60% load factor). The State-wise hydro potential identified is indicated in Annexure-II. At present, 50 sanctioned hydroelectric projects aggregating to 13755.85 MW at an estimated cost of Rs.57031.52 crores are under execution in the country for likely benefits during 9th Plan and beyond. The project-wise details indicating location, capacity and investment are given in Annexure-III. This includes Ghatghar PSS (2x125 MW) and Bhivpuri PSS (1x90 MW) in Maharashtra at an estimated cost of Rs.919.87 crores. In addition, 14 schemes with an installed capacity of 3607.9 MW have been cleared by Central Electricity Authority, 4 schemes with an aggregate installed capacity of 350 MW are under examination, 166 schemes with an aggregate installed capacity of about 50418 MW are under various states of survey and investigations and 90 schemes with an installed capacity of 49,505 MW have been returned to project authorities for re- examination.

During the last three years five new hydroelectric projects have been sanctioned under Central Sector. These are Chamera II (300 MW) in Himachal Pradesh; Loktak Downstream (90 MW) in Manipur; Teesta Stage V (500 MW) in Sikkim; Koteshwar (400 MW) in Uttaranchal and Tuirial (60 MW) in Mizoram. The net budgetary support has been significantly raised from Rs.1125.53 crores in 1997-98 to Rs.1982.15 crores in 2001-02 to promote large and medium size hydroelectric projects under Central Sector.

Government of India has initiated action to develop about 30,000 MW of hydro power in the various parts of the country. A substantial portion of this is in the North East, Jammu & Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh and Uttaranchal. An MOU has been signed with Jammu & Kashmir to develop 7 hydroelectric projects (2798 MW) under Central Sector. Similarly, in North East, action has been initiated to develop hydroelectric projects in Siang and Subansiri Basins (20700 MW). In addition, Kameng (600 MW) and Ranganadi Stage II (180 MW) in Arunachal Pradesh, Tuivai (60 MW) in Mizoram and Tipaimukh (1500 MW) in Manipur are also proposed to be developed under the Central Sector. In Himachal Pradesh Parbati Projects (2051 MW), Kol Dam Project (800 MW), Rampur HEP (580 MW) have been identified for development. Government of India is also according high priority in developing hydroelectric projects languishing for want of funds and projects locked up in inter-State disputes. A Memorandum of Understanding has been signed with Government of Madhya Pradesh to jointly develop Omkareshwar (520 MW) and Indira Sagar Project (1000 MW) in Madhya Pradesh.
