THE MINISTER OF STATE FOR PERSONNEL, PUBLIC GRIEVANCES & PENSIONS AND PRIME MINISTER’S OFFICE (Dr. JITENDRA SINGH) :
(a) Power from Central Generating Stations to beneficiary States/Union Territories is allocated in accordance with formula for allocation of power which is being treated as guidelines from April, 2000. As per these guidelines, allocation of power is made to the States/UTs in two parts, namely firm allocation of 85% and 15% unallocated power for allocation by the Government for meeting the urgent/overall requirement. The firm allocation includes allocation of 10% (not free) power to the home State. The balance 75% power is distributed amongst the States/UTs of the region in accordance with the pattern of central plan assistance and energy consumption during the previous five years, both factors having equal weightage. Central plan assistance is determined in accordance with the Gadgil formula, in which population of the states is also taken into consideration.
Since January 2011, the Government of India has approved allocation of 50% of power to Home States from all new nuclear projects of Nuclear Power Corporation of India Limited (NPCIL). The remaining 35% is to be allocated to other constituents (except home state) as per Central formula.
(b) Electricity has been generated by nuclear power plants using both indigenous and imported fuel during the last three years. The details of electricity generation from indigenous and imported fuel are as follows:
