THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF POWER ( SHRIMATI JAYAWANTI MEHTA )
(a) : The ratio of thermal and hydro power in the total installed capacity in the
country as on 31.03.2003 was 71% and 25% respectively.
(b) : A capacity addition target of 41,110 MW comprising 14393 MW Hydro,
25,417 MW Thermal, and 1,300 MW Nuclear has been fixed for 10th Plan. Effective
mechanism has been put in place to ensure timely completion of the projects and
achievement of the target during 10th Plan. In addition, power will be imported from
Tala Hydro Electric Project (1020 MW) in Bhutan which is also expected to be
commissioned in the 10th Plan. With this accelerated hydro power development the
declining share of hydro power will be reversed.
(c) : Details of ongoing Hydro Electric and Thermal Projects are given in
Annexure-I & II.
(d) : The policy announced in 1991 to encourage greater private sector
participation in the power sector has been reviewed from time to time with a view to
streamline the procedures for speedy development of the schemes being developed in
private sector. Some of the recent policy initiatives taken in this direction are indicted
below :-
i. Power Generation Schemes by Generating Companies having a capital cost of
upto Rs.2500 crores have been exempted from the requirement of Techno-
Economic Clearance of the Central Electricity Authority wherever the tariff is
to be approved by the Central Electricity Regulatory Commission or any of
the State Electricity Regulatory Commissions.
ii. Automatic approval (RBI route) for 100% foreign equity without any upper
ceiling on the quantum of investment.
iii. The excise duty/counter veiling duty on naphtha as well as Low Sulphur
Heavy Stock and other specified residual fuel oils used as primary fuel for
power generation, has been removed.
iv. With the ongoing reforms and restructuring of the power sector, the
confidence of investors/IPPs in power sector is expected to improve and the
need for security (escrow cover and guarantees, etc.) for their investments
may no longer be necessary.
