(a) : The state-wise/source-wise power generation target and
actual generation in the country during the years 2007-08 , 2008-09 &
2009-10 and the target for 2010-11 are given in Annex-I.
(b) : In the Five Year Plan, allocations are made for the public
sector only. The 11th Plan outlay for power in the Central Sector is
Rs.3,05,705 crore at 2006-07 prices and the 11th Plan outlay for
energy in the State Sector and UTs is Rs.2,25,384.68 crore. The Sub-
Committee of the Group of Ministers on `Financial issues of Power
Sector` had estimated total funds requirement in the Private Sector
as Rs.2,36,286 crore.
The details of State-wise, year-wise approved outlay and
expenditure in the Energy Sector in the States during the 11th Plan,
according to Planning Commission, are enclosed at Annex-II.
The revised estimate and actual expenditure in respect of
power sector schemes in the Central Sector during the 11th Plan are
as under :
2007-08 2008-09 2009-10 (Rs. Crore) (Rs. Crore) (Rs. Crore)
Revised Estimate 30,690.38 36,306.47 45,269.60
Actual Expenditure 25,647.87 35,231.44 29,814.28
(c) & (d) : Planning Commission had fixed a capacity addition
target of 78,700 MW during the 11th Plan. However, as per mid-term
appraisal (MTA) the capacity addition during 11th Plan is likely to be
62,374 MW. In addition projects totaling to 12,590 MW is being
attempted under best efforts basis. Out of 62,374 MW, a capacity of
22,302 MW has already been commissioned till 31.03.2010 and a
capacity aggregating to 40,072 MW is likely to be commissioned with
a high level of certainty during the balance period of 11th Plan.
The details of capacity commissioned/to be
commissioned during 11th Plan is given in the Table below:
Type Commissioned Underconstruction for Total Best Efforts commissioning Projects during 11th Plan
(MW) (MW) (MW) (MW)
Hydro 3,431 4,806 8,237 2,110
Thermal 18,211 32,546 50,757 10,480
Nuclear 660 2,720 3,380 -
Total 22,302 40,072 62,374 12,590
The reasons for delay in commissioning of projects during
11th Plan are as follows :
# Delay in placement of orders – mainly Civil Works & BOPs;
# Delay and non-sequential supply of material for Main Plant and Balance of Plants (BoP);
# Shortage of skilled manpower for erection and commissioning;
# Contractual dispute between project developer and contractor and their sub-vendors/sub-contractors;
# Inadequate deployment of construction machinery;
# Shortage of fuel (Coal & Nuclear);
# Problem of land Acquisition;
# Delay in erection of infrastructure facilities like reliable
construction power supply and roads at project sites etc.
(e) : The actions taken to ensure that the targets of capacity
addition is achieved within the given time frame are as follows:
a) Monitoring mechanism in the Ministry has been strengthened.
The progress of generation projects for completion during 11th
Five Year Plan is reviewed periodically by the Central
Electricity Authority, Ministry of Power and Power Projects
Monitoring Panel (PPMP). An Advisory Group under the
chairmanship of Hon`ble Minister of Power with former power
secretaries amongst others has been set up to suggest ways
and means to achieve the 11th Plan capacity addition targets.
b) Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL), the major indigenous
manufacturer for main plant equipment in Public Sector, has
enhanced its capacity to deliver main plant equipment to
15,000 MW per annum and has also indicated that they may
raise the capacity up to 20,000 MW by March, 2012, depending
upon the market demand.
c) The issue of supply of equipments by BHEL has been discussed
in the Committee of Secretaries chaired by the Cabinet
Secretary on December 8, 2009. In pursuance of the decision
taken in the meeting, a Group under the Chairmanship of
Secretary(Heavy Industry) to finalize a joint action plan which
would lay down the schedule /timeframe for completion of
projects as per targets, has been set up. Members of the Group
include Secretary (Power), Chairperson, CEA, CMD, NTPC and
CMD, BHEL.
d) A Joint Venture Agreement has been signed between NTPC
Ltd. and BHEL to take up work related to Engineering,
Procurement and Construction (EPC) for power plants and
other infrastructure projects.
e) Joint Ventures have been formed between M/s L&T & MHI,
Japan; Alstom & Bharat Forge; Toshiba & JSW; and Ansaldo &
GB Engineering for manufacture of supercritical boilers and
turbine generators in India.
f) All stakeholders have been sensitized towards enlarging the
vendor base so as to meet the Balance of Plants (BoP)
requirements.
g) Bulk ordering of 11 units of 660 MW each with supercritical
technology with mandatory phased indigenous manufacturing
Programme initiated to promote indigenous manufacturing.
h) To overcome the shortage of skilled manpower, `Adopt an ITI`
initiative has been taken up.
i) Periodical meetings are held with concerned Ministries viz.
Ministry of Coal, Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas and
Ministry of Environment & Forests and at other forums at
highest level to sort out the inter ministerial issues with regard
to availability of fuel and grant of Environment & Forest
clearance to generation projects.
j) An Accountability System has been put in place for the
Eleventh Plan central sector power projects scheduled for
commissioning during the Eleventh Five Year Plan period.
