Need Assessment Documents

for

IPDS

Why NAD is required?

• To asses the gap in sub-transmission & Distribution network of the State and for deciding the broad scope of work to be covered under IPDS to achieve its goal i.e.

24x7 Power for All

AT&C loss reduction as per trajectory finalized by MoP

Providing access of electricity to all urban households.

• To asses the need of a state, preferably the NAD of all statutory towns in concerned state to be prepared by utilities.

• NAD shall contain all relevant information along with justifications to substantiate the proposed scope of work and cost estimates.

• States should clearly priorities the requirement in NAD, to facilitate nodal agency to arrive at broad scope of work to be covered under the scheme and the total cost.

Changes in IPDS w.r.t. earlier schemes

Project Management Agency (PMA)

Appoint PMA (preferably utility-wise) to assist in project management for ensuring timely implementation of project.

100% grant for PMA limited to 0.5% of cost of works.

Select PMA from CPSUs or through open bidding as per their policy.

Preferably same PMA for both IPDS & DDUGJY for better coordination, operational efficiency and cost optimization.

Further, to avoid conflict of interest, PMA should not be:

– TPIEA-EA, TPIEA-IT, engaged under RAPDRP in respective state.

– IPDS executing agency in respective state.

– Beneficiary utilities themself or their subsidiaries/JVs as PMA

Project Implementation

Projects implemented by Turnkey award through e-tender by utility.

Execution on partial turnkey/departmental basis permitted with approval of Monitoring Committee

Utility to follow Procurement Policy, Standard Bidding Doc and Technical Specs. to be circulated by Nodal agency.

Projects to be awarded within 6 months and to be completed in maximum time limit of 30 months (award & implementation) from date of sanction.

Dedicated team required for implementation of projects

If utility fails to award within 9 months of release of first tranche of grant, project will be deemed as closed/cancelled and grant released shall be refunded by utility within 3 months.

Approved or awarded cost whichever is less, be eligible for grant.

Any cost overrun, not eligible for grant and shall be borne by utility.
