1.0 Introduction
Pakistan Water and Power Development Authority (WAPDA) is an integrated utility in
Pakistan. WAPDA is responsible for the development of Hydel Power and Water Sector
Projects in Pakistan. WAPDA operates through- Power wing and Water wing, It is engaged in
the generation, transmission and distribution of power. In addition, it also manages irrigation,
water supply and drainage system in the country. Further, it is also responsible for prevention
of water logging and reclamation of waterlogged and saline lands. Its responsibilities also
include flood management and inland navigation. WAPDA was created as a Semi-
Autonomous Body in 1958. The company is headquartered in Lahore, Pakistan.
National University Of Modern Languages | Final Report on WAPDA 135
The Pakistan Water and Power Development Authority (WAPDA) was established through
an act of parliament in February 1958 for integrated and rapid development and maintenance
of water and power resources of the Country. This includes controlling soil salinity and water
logging to rehabilitate the affected land in order to strengthen the predominantly agricultural
economy of the country. As per the charter, amended in March 1959 to transfer the existing
electricity departments from the federating units to it, WAPDA has been assigned the duties of
investigation, planning and execution of projects and schemes for:
Generation, Transmission and distribution of power,
Irrigation, water supply and drainage,
Prevention of water logging and reclamation of saline land,
Flood control and
Inland navigation.
Under the later on developments, vis-à-vis the “Energy Policy 1994”, setting up of thermal
power generation projects was shifted to the private sector. Similarly, as a result of
restructuring of the Power Wing, the utility part was corporatized into independent companies.
This shift from convergence to divergence gave birth to 13 entities to operate in different
zones. These are National Transmission and Dispatch Company (NTDC), four thermal power
generation companies (GENCOs) and eight distribution companies (DISCOs). The present
status of these companies is of corporate public limited entities under the Umbrella of EPCO,
ultimately to go privatized as planned. The residual Power Wing is therefore now responsible
for major hydro-electric power projects and schemes in operation.

1.2 Water Vision 2025
WAPDA has formulated a comprehensive $25–33 billion National Water Resource and
Hydropower Development Program me, entitled Water Vision 2025. The Water Vision 2025
projects are expected to generate 16,000 MW of hydroelectricity. Other goals are to prevent
water shortages, limit drought and increase water storage for a growing population. Five
massive hydropower projects have been announced by the President of Pakistan; these are to
be completed by 2016, with a generation capacity of 9,500 MW. Two of the projects are ready
for construction, while three are in the stages of feasibility studies and preparation of tender
documents.
Water Vision 2025 consists of three phases. Phase I was expected to start in 1993 but
was delayed. The priority of water sector projects under Phase I of Water Vision 2025 are
Gomal Dam (NWFP), Mirani Dam and Mithan Kot Barrage at Kachhi Canal (Balochistan)
raising of Mangla Dam (Azad Kashmir), Greater Thal Canal phase I (Punjab) and Thar/Rainee
Canals phase I (Sindh). The total cost of these Phase I projects will be $2.467 billion with a
construction period of five years. Under Phase II, Hingol Dam, Balochistan Dam and Satpara
Dam (Northern Areas), Chashma Right Bank Canal and Khurram Tangi Dam (NWFP), phase
II of the Greater Thal Canal Akhori Dam and Sanjwal Dam (Punjab), phase II of Thar/Rainee
Canals, Gajnai and Sehwan Barrage (Sindh) will be completed in 3–6 years, except Basha
Dam, which will take 8–10 years for its completion. The total cost of Phase II projects will be
$8.94 billion. These 11 projects will have a storage capacity of 12.79 million acre-feet, would
generate over 3362 mW of power, and would irrigate 1.4 million hectares of land. Under Phase
III, Yugo Dam, Skardu Dam, Dhok Dam, Rohtas Dam, Naulang Dam and Khadji Dam will be
completed.

2.3 Energy Resources & Power Development History
At the time of independence, Pakistan inherited 60MW of power generation capability
for a population of 31.5 million, yielding 4.5 units per capita consumption. Twelve years later,
National University Of Modern Languages | Final Report on WAPDA 135
when WAPDA was created in 1959, the generation capacity had increased to 119 MW. By that
time country had entered the phase of development, which required a dependable and sold
infrastructure, electricity being its most significant part. The task of power dev elopement was
undertaken by WAPDA for executing a number of Hydel and thermal generation projects, a
matching transmission network and a distribution system, which could sustain the load of
rapidly increasing demand of electricity.
The effects of WAPDA’s professional approach to find the solution to multifarious
problems did not take long to show. After first five years of its operation by 1964-65, the
electricity generation capability rose to 636 MW from 119 in 1959, and power generation to
about 2,500 MKWH from 781 MKWH. Number of consumers in 1959 to 688 thousand in
1965, as many as 609 villages had electricity supplied to them by 1959, increasing to 1882 in
1965. The rapid progress witnessed a new life to the social, technical and economic structures
of the country, mechanized agriculture started, industrialization picked up and general living
standards improved. In the year 1980 the system capacity touched 3000 MW which rapidly
rose to over 7000 MW in 1990-91.
Now the total generation capacity from WAPDA’s own hydel and thermal sources after
completion of Chashma Hydro Power Plant plus generation from independent power
procedures stands at 15764 MW.
2.4 Power Sector Reforms & History Of NTDC
Over the past 15 years, Pakistan has been following a strategy of deregulation,
privatization and transformation of its public sector entities (PSEs), including its two major
power utilities, Water and Power Development Authority (WAPDA) and Karachi Electric
National University Of Modern Languages | Final Report on WAPDA 135
Supply Corporation (KESC). WAPDA was established in 1958 as a semi-autonomous agency
to coordinate the development of Pakistan's water and power resources.
NTDC previously was the part of Water and Power Development Authority (WAPDA).
It was known as Transmission and Grid Station. In December 1998, the WAPDA Act was
amended, which allowed the creation of Pakistan Electric Power Company (PEPCO), and
unbundling of WAPDA’s Power Wing into:
eight (9) distribution companies (formed from existing area boards);
three (4) generating companies (comprising 11 of WAPDA’s generating plants); and
National Transmission and Dispatch Company (NTDC).
2.5 Formation of PEPCO
PEPCO was created in May 1998 as a Management Company, owned by Government
of Pakistan vested with the following corporate objectives
The corporatization and commercialization of WAPDA’s assets block in generation,
transmission and distribution.

Its major operations are based on the purchasing of electricity from generation companies and
selling it to distribution companies.
The other functions of NTDC are performed to handle high voltage electricity wires in
preinstalled electrified areas and those areas to which Discos want to electrify. So we should
have knowledge about all stakeholders which are generating and distributing electricity in
Pakistan like what are their major functions, projects, and their locations in order to make
budgets through which NTDC will earn revenue in future.

2.12 WAPDA Residual Projects & Functions
2.12.1 Water Dam
To Constructing ,repairing & maintaining of dams is the major function of WAPDA.
2.12.2 Hydel Power Generation
As a consequence of partition of the Indo-Pakistan Sub-Continent in 1947, India and
Pakistan became two independent sovereign states. Hydel generation capacity of only 10.7
MW (9.6 MW - Malakand Power Station & 1.1 MW - Renala Power Station) existed in the
territory of Pakistan. With the passage of time, new Hydel Power Projects of Small and
Medium capacities were commissioned including the first water storage dam and power house
at Warsak due to which country's Hydel capability raised to about 267 MW uptill 1963.
The Irrigation System which existed at the time of partition in 1947 was divided
between the two countries without any regards to the irrigation boundaries which resulted in an
international water dispute which was finally resolved by signing of the Indus Water Treaty in
1960 under the aegis of World Bank. The Treaty assigned three Eastern rivers (Ravi, Beas and
Sutlej) to India and three Western rivers (Indus, Jhelum & Chenab) to Pakistan. It also
provided construction of replacement works called Indus Basin Projects (IBP) to compensate
for perpetual loss of Eastern rivers' water. The works proposed under the Treaty included two
multipurpose dams i.e. Mangla Dam on Jhelum river and Tarbela Dam on Indus river having
the provision of power generation. These were commissioned in 1967 & 1977 respectively.
However, their capacities were subsequently extended in different phases.

3.2 Hydel Generation Capacity
The total capacity of 13 No., Hydel Stations as of today is 6443.56 ~ 6444 MW which
is 37.10% of total installed generation capacity of WAPDA. During 2007~2008, aggregate
energy sharing during the year was 33.32%. The Hydel Generation Capacity was reduced from
6463.16 MW to 6443.56 MW due to decommissioning of Jabban Hydel Power Station after a
fire incident in November, 2006.
3.2.1 Seasonal Variations Of Hydel Generation
The seasonal variations of reservoir levels and consequent reduction in Power outputs
of storage type hydel projects in Pakistan are very pronounced. Tarbela with maximum head of
450 ft. experiences variation of 230 ft. while Mangla has 162 ft. variation against the maximum
cranium of 360ft.
The lean flow period of Tarbela reservoir is from November to June when the Capability
reduces to as low as about 1350 MW against the maximum of 3692 MW during high head
period i.e. August to September (15% permissible overloading on Units 1~10). Lean flow
National University Of Modern Languages | Final Report on WAPDA 135
period of Mangla reservoir is observed from October to March when the minimum generating
capability is 500 MW. The capability rises to as high as 1150 MW during 'high head' period
(15% permissible overloading).
In all, WAPDA's Hydel generating capability varies between the two extremities of
2414 MW and 6746.0 MW over the cycle of a year.
3.3 Pepco Projects & Functions
PEPCO was basically established by the Federal Govt. to supervise all the companies’
transition process from WAPDA. No doubt all the companies are independent and registered
under company ordinance 1984, but PEPCO is working till now & control over there as an
umbrella on all the companies.
3.4 Thermal Power
As per Government of Pakistan policy all thermal power generation has been
restructured and four corporatized companies namely Jamshoro Power Generation Company
Limited (GENCO-1) head quarter at Jamshoro district Dadu near Hyderabad Sindh, Central
Power Generation Company Limited (GENCO-2) head quarter at Guddu district Jacobabad
Sindh and Northern Power Generation Company Limited (GENCO-3) head quarters at
Muzaffargarh and Lakhra Power Generation Company Limited (GENCO-IV) at Khanote
(Sindh) have been formed and registered. Functioning of GENCOs has commenced.

National University Of Modern Languages | Final Report on WAPDA 135
(GENCO-II) Central Power Generation Company Limited.
(GENCO-III) Northern Power Generation Company Limited.
(GENCO-IV) Lakhra Power Generation Company Limited.
WAPDA's Thermal Power Generation is mainly based on generation of power from its Steam
Turbo-Generators, Gas Turbines (simple as well as Combined Cycle Units) installed at
different Power Stations located in Sindh, Punjab and Balochistan provinces. Indigenous Gas
& Coal is the main fuel whereas Furnace oil and HSD are also used as alternative fuel. The
total installed capacity is 4664 MW.
Structural formation of all four GENCOs is as under:
3.5 IPPS (Independent Power Producers) Controlled By PEPCO
The country had been experiencing severe power shortage during eighties and early
nineties. As a result, load shedding had to be resorted to all over the country. This adversely
affected the national economy. It was not possible for the Govt. to establish Power Plants in
public sector due to shortage of funds. In order to eliminate power shortage/load shedding in
National University Of Modern Languages | Final Report on WAPDA 135
the minimum possible time, the Government constituted an Energy Task Force in 1993 to
devise a consolidated and comprehensive policy for revamping and rejuvenating the energy
sector. On the recommendations of the Energy Task Force, the Government announced a
“Policy Framework and Package of Incentives for Private Sector Power Generation Projects”
in March 1994 for a large scale induction of the private sector in power development. The said
Policy offered a fix level zed tariff of US$ 5.57 / kWh to the prospective investors (US$ 6.1 /
kWh average for 1-10 years) and a number of other incentives to attract foreign investment in
the power sector.
3.5.1 IPP Installed Capacity
In 1994, the government formulated a power policy that allows the private sector
to invest in the power sector to ensure sufficient generation capacity. The policy also
allowed full flexibility to independent power producers (IPPs) to bring capacity on line as
quickly as possible at predetermined power purchase prices. The government guaranteed
implementation, fuel supply, and power purchase. (By 2001, the private sector’s share of
installed capacity reached 5,551MW, all of which were oil-fired thermal plants.)
1292 MW (Net 1200 MW) HUB Power Project the biggest power plant in the private
sector contracted in 1992 started commercial operations in March 1997. Shortly after
National University Of Modern Languages | Final Report on WAPDA 135
commissioning disputes arose between GOP / WAPDA and HUBCO on tariff and other issues.
After protracted negotiations, these were resolved through Settlement Agreement of December
2000 signed by the GOP, WAPDA and HUBCO.
This resulted in a lower tariff entailing a saving of about 3 billion dollars over 30 years
term of the Power Purchase Agreement. WAPDA also privatized its 1638 MW (Net 1342
MW) Gas Turbine Power Station, Kot Addu in June 1996 by incorporating it under the name
of KAPCO and selling its 36% shares to International Power of UK. After extensive
correspondence/negotiations with the International Power, the Power Purchase Agreement and
other relevant documents have been amended, providing inter-alia, reduction in tariff from
Cents 5.60 / kWh to Cents 5.04 / kWh, resulting in a saving of about 1.3 billion dollars to
WAPDA over 25 years term of the Agreement.
3.5.2
Rental Power Projects
During the Government of PM Shaukat Aziz (2006), ECC in its decision of 16th
August, 2006 approved 150 MW Rental Power Plants proposal by WAPDA / NPGCL for
installation at Piranghaib, Multan as emergency measure subject to acceptance of tariff by
NEPRA, stipulating that WAPDA should only rent as much power as is absolutely necessary
to be utilized with high load factor for economic utilization of capacity. The ECC was briefed
by then government that given the urgency to have additional power capacity before next
summer as per WAPDA’s demand projections and the long gestation period for new plant,
renting of plant/plants appears to be the only short term solution if shortfalls are to be met.
National University Of Modern Languages | Final Report on WAPDA 135
Further, as the commissioning of the new IPPs for which gas has already been allocated
will take 2-3 years, practical arrangements may be worked out with the Ministry of Petroleum
and Natural Resources to utilize this gas for the rented plants in the intervening period. The
then Planning and Development Division concurred with the proposal of M/o Water and Power
to keep the momentum of economic growth progressive, and also to meet the high anticipated
power shortages in the country.
During the Caretaker Government of PM Mian Muhammad Sommro (15.02.2008), the
ECC approved four Rental Power Plants each of 200-300 MW (combined capacity 1000-
1200MW) as Rental Power Plants in private sector to be located at Sahiwal, Gakhar,
Kotlakhpath, Sialkot, Shikarpur, Jamshoro, Eminabad & Sheikupura. The ECC advised that the
RPPs be arranged for a period of four years, PEPCO would reevaluate RPPs location sites on
the basis of oil storage space plus transportation and environmental impact. Secretaries Finance
and Water & Power along with MD-PPRA will review the procurement mechanism and avoid
delay in induction of RPPs while making it PPRA- compliant.
3.6 Power Policy
National University Of Modern Languages | Final Report on WAPDA 135
3.6.1 Power Policy 1995
3.6.2 General
The Government of Pakistan in March 1994 announced the Policy Framework and
Package of Incentives for private sector power development in the country. It received a
tremendous response albeit for all Thermal Plants. GOP now intends to encourage proposals
for power generation based on indigenous resources namely its hydel resources. Hydel power
being cheaper, will provide tariff relief to the consumers, utilize indigenous resources, involve
Pakistani entrepreneurs and provide benefits of economic growth to the relatively backward
parts of Pakistan.
3.6.3 The Need For A Separate Hydel Power Policy
In Pakistan nearly all hydro potential results from discharges into the Indus River basin.
Discharges result primarily from precipitation and snow-melt in the northern mountainous
ranges of the country. Discharges take place in small rivulets coming further down to the
bigger tributaries of River Indus and then to Indus River itself. The development of
hydropower projects however, is characterized by remote locations and seasonal variations.
Pakistan's climatic factors including rainfall and snowmelt, make it relatively easy to develop
hydel generation during the months of July to December while the period January to June is
extremely dry in terms of stream flow. In order, therefore, to arrest the risk of over
development in summer months that would create an unbridgeable gap in winter months, the
total requirement of hydel plants in private sector may be limited to 2,000 MW upto the end of
National University Of Modern Languages | Final Report on WAPDA 135
the 9th Five Year Plan. However, the limit of 2,000 MW will be reviewed at a later stage and
can be enhanced to suit the national priorities and power demand growth. Realizing that these
peculiarities of hydropower development necessitate special consideration the Government has
devised an attractive policy package to evoke response of private sector similar to that of
thermal power. The salient features of the policy framework and package of incentives devised
for development of hydropower through private sector.
3.7 Power Policy 2002
3.7.1 Introduction
Electricity constitutes one of the most important components of infrastructure and plays
a key role in national growth and development. With only about half of nearly 140.5 million
people (2001 population estimate) having access to electricity, a huge population base provides
an ideal opportunity for expansion of electricity generation. The growing pace of urbanization
and industrialization also puts a premium on demand for electricity.
Demands for augmenting the power infrastructure, unsatisfactory performance of
public sector entities, ever-squeezing budgets in the public sector, the need to make the tariff
free from subsidies and cross-subsidies and reflect market prices etc., provide motivation for
resource mobilization, improving efficiency through involvement of the private sector, to
reduce the burden on budgetary resources caused by ailing enterprises and more importantly, to
meet consumer expectations within affordable limits of tariff.
Reform of the power sector through restructuring and deregulation is high on the
agenda of the Government of Pakistan (GOP). The GOP is committed to pursue a far-reaching
reform program me for the power sector and to help meet the country's future power needs.
Implementation of the envisaged program me will bring about a gradual transition of the power
National University Of Modern Languages | Final Report on WAPDA 135
system from integrated, state-owned utilities to a decentralized system with separate
generation, transmission and distribution entities, having substantial private ownership and
management, reflecting and encouraging a commercial and competitive operating environment.
3.7.2 Objectives
The main objectives of the Policy are:
To encourage and ensure exploitation of indigenous resources,
which include renewable energy resources, human resources,
participation of local engineering and manufacturing capabilities;
To provide sufficient capacity for power generation at the least
cost, and to avoid capacity shortfalls;
To be attuned to safeguarding the environment.
To ensure that all stakeholders are looked after in the process, i.e. a win-win situation
for all; and
3.7.3 Scope
The scope of the Policy covers.
Projects developed by the public sector and then divested.
Public-private partnership projects; and
Private sector projects;
Public sector projects;
3.8 2009 Policy Framework For New - Captive Power Producers
National University Of Modern Languages | Final Report on WAPDA 135
To lessen the gravity of power shortage in the country it was decided by
WAPDA/PEPCO to acquire surplus and redundant Captive Power from APTMA members as
one of the supply side measures. This Captive Power was mostly oil based. Subsequently,
Sugar Industry also made a similar offer for sale of surplus (biogases based) Captive Power. So
far about 182 MW produced by different CPPs on different fuels could be fed to DISCOs on
take-and-pay-basis at tariffs approved by WAPDA Authority/PEPCO under the guidelines of
NEPRA. Up till now APTMA remains the main contributor.
3.8.1 NTDC Development Programs
3.8.2 Current Projects
Addition of new transmission lines and sub stations is an integral part of NTDC
program for strengthening/augmentation and expansion of the existing integrated system in
order to meet the power transmission requirements efficiently & effectively and for dispersal of
power from generating plants to the load centers.
To cater for the above, a number of schemes have been taken in hand. A list of the
ongoing projects is given in the tables below.

5.3 Share and capacity of hydel throughout total generation
National University Of Modern Languages | Final Report on WAPDA 135
Before 10 years generation is 70% from HYDEL and 30% from thermal but now the
30% from HYDEL and 70% from thermal. So the cost is very high because of more thermal
generation. The capacity of HYDEL production is 27000 million units to 30000 million killo
watts (MKH) but still the total requirement is 90000 mkh.
5.4.1 Sources of generation
HYDEL generation is getting from fallow of water in dams such as
Terballa dam
Varsac dam
Mangla dam
Other small dams
5.4.2 WAPDA thermal

without improving its capacity it can not meet the demand of general public. And also it is
single power Generation Company Which provide Electricity directly to people.
National University Of Modern Languages | Final Report on WAPDA 135
7.4.2 Reasons
There are some reasons for which WAPDA take loan
Install new power plants
Decrease short fall
Meet electricity requirement in future
No alternative power production
Demand increase every year
So WPADA takes loan for meet the demand of electricity which increases day by day.
7.5 Foreign Currency
In which currency WPADA takes loan it return loan in same currency. Normally
WAPDA takes loan in dollar currency.
Loan is combination of Principle amount + Interest
7.6 Agreement

agreement includes following information like

7.7 Foreign Loan
Foreign loan are those loan which is taken outside the boundary of country. WPADA is
a large organization and it is working on non profit bases so it is very difficult for it to install
new power plant which need billions of investment and without improving its capacity it can
not meet the demand of general public. So WPADA takes loan for meet the demand of
electricity which increases day by day.
7.8 Parties
These are three parties involve at the time of making agreement of taking loan. These
parties are following

guarantee. WAPDA has responsibility to return loan to the loan provider.
7.11 Relending Loan
In relending loan government it self involve directly for providing loan to WAPDA.
Foreign country or financial intuition provide loan to government and government reissue this
loan to WAPDA. WAPDA receive loan indirectly. Government receive loan at low rate of
interest like 2 or 3 percent but when government issue this loan to WAPDA than government
charge 15 percent rate of interest before two years ago it is 17 percent but now due to finish
power crises government reduce it.
7.12 Rates

It has been noticed that some times material is short and wrong shipped by the
foreigner supplier and consignee consider this lapse as the liability of the insurers. It may be
kept in mind that the insurers are not responsible for short and wrong packing of the material.
Therefore the consignees must immediately refer such cases to the suppliers and finalize with
them directly. Such types of deficiency required to be detected with in 8 days of the receipt of
goods. When such reports are logged with the suppliers it is required to be done under the
National University Of Modern Languages | Final Report on WAPDA 135
intimation to the insurance department, WAPDA, enabling them to lodge first information
report with the insurers. However where it is proved that loss is not on suppliers account and a
certificate to this effect is obtained from the supplier only then the matter may be taken up with
the WAPDA Insurance Department who in tern will lodge with the claims with the insurers on
the basis of the first information reports. This will only be practicable if the documents by the

commission of the local agent may not be paid in case of shortage until and unless the claim is
decide by the insurance company and the reply of the foreign suppliers regarding shortage in
original is provided by the local agent. Where the surveyor has declared the loss due to the
short packing the claim of short packing does not lie against insurers and necessary steps may
be taken for the recovery of the loss from the suppliers or recovered from the commission of
his local agent as the case may be.
8.5 Documentation
While analysis the cause of the delay in the acceptance of Marine claims it has been
noticed that claims are not drawn in acceptance with existing procedure are not supported with
the essential documents. This is a very serious situation as the acceptance or repudiation of the
claims depends upon the supply of following documents which should be furnished to
the insurance department WAPDA within 15 days after lodging the claim.
Claim bill
Performa invoice (for this time limit is 2 months)
Survey report
National University Of Modern Languages | Final Report on WAPDA 135
Original invoice
Bill of lading
Warehouse examination report
Estimate in case of repair. Three quotations of repairers may be attached with the repair
bill;
Warehouse examination report and the survey report are the basic documents on which
the claims are drawn. Claim bill should strictly be in accordance with the survey
reports as its acceptance depends on the remarks of the surveyors and remarks of the
consignee in the warehouse examination report. Therefore while filling up the
warehouse examination report unwarranted remarks should not be given this may
prejudice the claim. Similarly no statement should be made to the surveyor which may
jeopardize the interest of WAPDA. In case the consignee consider that the award
given by the surveyor is not in accordance with the damages sustained by the
authority, it is their foremost duty to challenge the survey report with facts and figures
and substantiate their view point most judiciously and provide a copy to insurance
department WAPDA, to enable them to take up the matter with surveyor. But in no
case the consignees should arrange the repair/replacement in contradictions of the
survey report until and unless the challenged survey report have been got revised from
surveyors in accordance with our genuine claims.
In case of repairs recommended by the surveyors the approval to carry out the repair
may be obtained from the national insurance corporation, Lahore through insurance
department, WAPDA, otherwise the claim will not be paid by the national insurance
corporation Lahore.
National University Of Modern Languages | Final Report on WAPDA 135
It needs to be emphasized that timely submission of documents listed above is of
paramount importance for the settlement of claims and arrangement will be made by
the consignee to supply these documents for all new and pending claims.
Consignees are requested to pay personal attention in the completion of new cases so
that claims may not return unsettled. If case which remain unsettled for more than 3
months because of non supply of the Performa invoice and other essential documents
the responsibility will be that of consignees and the matter will be referred to the
Authority.
8.6 Procedure for recovery of loss/damage of consignment
It has been observes that the marine insurance procedure circulated with this office
No. SOM/M/GEN/79/7409 date: 01-07-1979 is the being follow in letter and Spirit by the
WAPDA Consignee causing un-due delay in lodging the claim and ultimate loss to the
Authority. For instance
The loss is not reported within the stipulated period of 8 days and the insurers have to
charge the storage premium for the delayed period by way of deduction from the claim
as per terms of the insurance Policy.
Clean receipts are given to the Carrier/Transporter by the consignee when the packages
are in doubtful/damages condition thus the carriers escape their legal liability.
The claim damages during transit are not lodged on the carrier through Chief Resident
Representative Karachi in time. Thus the claim is accepted by the insurers after
deduction of share of the carrier.
National University Of Modern Languages | Final Report on WAPDA 135
The claim bill rendered is not often supported with the Performa Invoice,
carrier/Suppliers reply and other documents which results in-ordia=nate
Delay in settlement of the claims.
Shipping documents such as invoice, bill of lading and shop survey report and ocean
freight are provided in installments. This further delays settlement of claim.
8.7 Settlements
In order to avoid loss to the authority and over-come the above situation and for the
quick settlement of the claim, the following steps may kindly be taken to safe guard the interest
of the Authority:-
The information of loss should be reported direct to the nearest office of National

I completed 6 week internship at WAPDA which is from 26.04.2010 to19.06.2010
with break from 17.05.2010 to 30.05.2010. I hope that Internship experience open doors for me
of many opportunities because in this internship I learn a lot which give me help in my future.
The employee of WAPDA is very corporative. The environment of the WAPDA is quite
friendly. The staff is very efficient here and deals the transactions of authority on daily basis by
providing efficient and timely services. They want to change the current situation in country
for the progress of our mother land.
The internship give me a lot of knowledge and confidence in me. I suggest that other
Numlians should do internship in WAPDA because it’s a large organization which work on
non profit bases. Internship program is an important part to give student an opportunity to have
experience of practical field. Unless and until the student experience the novelty of practical
work, their knowledge of what they study in theoretical courses remains incomplete. The most
important point is internship program is that the student should spend their time in a true

Working Experience
Internship is one of the crucial and difficult decisions of the career of a student. The
internship acts as a passage towards the achievement of future job. It not only encourages the
student to enter the social circle of practical life but also motivates him or her towards
implementation of the knowledge gained from the studies. It enlightens the thinking pattern of
the students’ mind and shows him or her small glimpse of the practical work environment. The
student is thus able to understand the working conditions and the implications present in the
environment about which he or she is unaware. During the internship period a student gets the
chance to meet the highly skilled and professional people related to his area of interest as well
as other people. This interaction gives him or her handful experience about the present systems
National University Of Modern Languages | Final Report on WAPDA 135
being followed in the market. He is able to learn certain key and fundamental functions that are
neither to be found in any university nor in books.
The student who is under going the process of learning in any organization gets the
opportunity to observe the functioning of that organization. He is able to see how do
organizational goals are achieved with the contribution of a large number of employees
working collectively. It is also to see how the tasks, duties are and responsibilities have been
distributed to various people and how their individual work is reconciled and presented to the
management for decision making and to the general public as one unit.
11.1 Learning / Achievements
In period of internship I got the chance to learn a great deal about the various
procedures and regulations observed at WAPDA. Some were good and some need to be
improved in my opinion.
11.2 Positive Points
Government support
Vertically integrated utility
Restructuring of Pakistan power sector
National University Of Modern Languages | Final Report on WAPDA 135
The internee must not take the task he cannot perform in the efficient manner because
that will bring a bad name on his part.
I got to chance to observe how employees behave in organizational culture.
The process of segmentation of large tasks in big organizations helps the employees
perform the tasks in a better and effective manner.
It is also important for the internees to not to be over efficient because the people
already working in the organization are more skilled and professional than the internee.
It is essential that the employee must be honest with his work and duties that were
assigned to him because honesty will lead that organization to glory.
The top priority for the organization is the fulfillment of its goals so that it can maintain
the position in the market.
By working in large organizations I got the chance to learn the professional norms and
behaviors observed in WAPDA.
I have acquired the ability to adapt myself with the changing taking place in the
environment.
By observing the organizational rules and regulations of WAPDA I have got familiarity
with the practical environment.
I have been involved in various activities that have helped me to acquire coordination
with other staff members of the department.
The internee must have good communication skill because he has to provide his
supervisor complete information.
National University Of Modern Languages | Final Report on WAPDA 135
The internee must be able to understand the working of the system quickly as the staff
expect the internee to do so as they avoid repeating the instructions.
Senior staff members are mentors so the internee must follow their instructions and
always welcome their advice.
The internee also needs to focus on the performance of the tasks assigned to him/her
and not poke his nose in others affairs.
The behavior and attitude of senior staff with internee good and should be appraised.
I learnt that employees work better in friendly and co-operative atmosphere.
In my observation every staff member provides me guideline to better understand the
organization culture and Policies.
11.3 Negatives Points
When the internee goes to the practical work place from the university area, he seeks
proper guidelines from the senior staff that is not provided to them.
Limited Geographic Market
Reduction In Net Electrical Output And Profit Margin
Mangla Dam Issue
Bad policies
In an office environment, there is a personal bias among employees and that goes on for
years.
National University Of Modern Languages | Final Report on WAPDA 135
There is communication gap among the employees of the organization.
There is lack of positive synergy among the employees that prevents them to work
collectively and achieve excellence.
Employees of the organization keep their personal goals ahead of the organizational
goals.
The employees tend to protect each other when some one breaks the organizational rules.
Most of the employees of organization are not technology oriented and they avoid using
latest technology.
SWOT
Strengths
Rising Electricity Demand
Development Projects

Company has huge amount of assets
Security Systems
National University Of Modern Languages | Final Report on WAPDA 135
Transportation systems
WAPDA provide large number of facilities, allowances and benefits to its employees
and these are sources of motivation for workers.
Most are employees are satisfied with there jobs because work assigned to them is
interesting and work load is low as compared to other business organizations each
employee is assigned with the work he can perform with perfection.
WAPDA do time to monitoring over its wings to increase efficiency.
Pensions systems
Weakness
Political Instability
Scarcity Of Resources
All though there are competent and high qualified workers but a large part of
employees are incompetent and low qualified as compared to their job specification
matriculates and intermediate are working at the job specification of MBAs or other
master degree holders. That’s why qualitative performance of these workers is limited.
In spite of presence of technology many jobs are done manually.
The controls are heads or not effected.

Political powers in recruiting due to which some incompetent candidates were
recruited.
Over employees and low productivity.

RECOMMENDATIONS
13.0 Recommendations
Here are some weak areas which I perceived during my internship in WAPDA and
some recommendations are given as under:
13.1 Investment
National University Of Modern Languages | Final Report on WAPDA 135
Invest in the Kala Baag Dam and Basha Dam Making.
13.2 Line losses
Line losses should be decreased to 3% currently it is 20% but it should more decrease
as soon as possible back its increase expenses of WAPDA.
13.3 Electricity saver appliances
Electricity saver appliances should be introduced in the country
13.4 Media Campaign
A strong media campaign should also be introduced on TV. Channels to create
awareness in the society to decrease energy consumption.
13.5 Privatization
WAPDA should not privatize all its companies. In my opinion if these companies will
work under one authority it will be better for economy as well as for WAPDA too.
National University Of Modern Languages | Final Report on WAPDA 135
13.6 Training and development.
It is correct that “if you are not going forwards, you are in fact going backwards”.
Current employees have skill deficiencies. Increased efficiency results in financial gain. It is
very true “if you think training is expensive try ignorance”. Attitude, skills, and knowledge can
be enhanced through effective training. The current status of training in WAPDA requires
improvement & changes. The following subjects may also be included by Staff College in their
courses as under:
Investment and portfolio management, corporate finance, MIS (accounting software)
Leadership, Time management, Change management, Organizational behavior, Quality
management, Motivation, Corporate culture.
13.7 Long term debts
This increase in Long-Term debts is not good indication for WAPDA because due to
this increase WAPDA has to pay more interest as shown in profit and loss Account of Power
Wing of WAPDA. So, WAPDA should reduce these long term debts, if it wants to earn more
profit.
13.8 Financial charges
National University Of Modern Languages | Final Report on WAPDA 135
Increase in financial charges has resulted in the reduction of profit of WAPDA. In order
to earn more profit WAPDA should control these financial Charges rather should reduce these
financial charges
13.9 Investment in other business
WAPDA should also invest in some profitable business like share of different
companies
except the sale of electricity.
13.10 Free in making decision
WAPDA is an independent organization so it should be independent in decision
making. If the WAPDA is free in decision making, it will reduce its extra cost such as loyalty
cost, IPPC payments, etc.
13.11 Fair payment of electricity bills
It is well known that big industrialist and land lords especially of out tribal areas do not
make fair payment of electricity bills. Due to this unfair payment WAPDA as well as economy
suffers. So these industrialists and landlords should be completed by the state to pays their
electricity bill fairly.
13.12 Contracts with IPP
National University Of Modern Languages | Final Report on WAPDA 135
The contracts of IPP most be eliminated as soon as possible because they sell electricity
to WAPDA sell electricity to consumers at considerable low rates, due to which not only
WAPDA but economy also suffers.
13.13 Blockade of promotions.
Employee’s motivation and productivity increases with opportunities to grow. It
develops a strong psychological contract and makes an employee competitive from
opportunities within organization. In WAPDA, at this stage there is severe blockade of
promotions due to which there is resentment and distrust amongst cadres. Inefficiency is
another effect of delayed promotions apart from brain drain. So promotion should be in time as
per criteria.
13.14 Job rotation
Most of employees are stick to one set only, which result that they become master of
one particular job and lose their grip on other operations. So all employees should have regular
job rotation.
13.15 Courses
National University Of Modern Languages | Final Report on WAPDA 135
Refresher Courses for the staff are most important in any international organization
foreign experts can also be called for this purpose
13.16 Working Environment
Working environment, equipment, furniture and staff dressing should be according to
the modern style.
13.17 Generation of electricity from coal
Generation of electricity from coal is another source of generation of electricity.
Generation from coal is cheaper from hydel.
13.18 Control of line losses
The line losses can be controlled by regular check on lines, meters of commercial as
well as for industrial sector. It will reduce WAPDA cost and will increase its profit.
Recommendation for the NUML:
While studying in NUML, I have analyzed some problem. Keeping in views those
problems following are my recommendations:
The institute also should arrange the field tours for its students to enhance and give the
market exposures.
National University Of Modern Languages | Final Report on WAPDA 135
The management of this prestigious institute should introduce the training programs
among the departments i.e. IAS & IBA same as the UMT does with the IBA for the
promotion of students.
This institute also should organize the seminars with the cooperation of industries like
with Chamber of Commerce and Supply Chain Group of Pakistan that assist its
Students and the market will know its students.
CONCLUSION
After completing my internship in WAPDA, I have concluded the company as under:
National University Of Modern Languages | Final Report on WAPDA 135
Rise in the oil prices pushing electricity tariff very high. As a result, manufacturing
costs and inflation are at the rising trend, export competitiveness is eroded and the
pressure on the balance of payments is increasing. These factors adversely affect the
present growth trajectory of the economy.
AL though there are competent and high qualified workers but a large part of
employees are incompetent and low qualified as compared to their job specification
matriculates and intermediate are working at the job specification of MBAs or other
master degree holders. That’s why qualitative performance of these workers is limited.
The country also needs to look at other alternative sources of energy.
In Pakistan the current energy crisis stems from the decline in hydro sources
of energy and over reliance on the expansive source of electricity. Presently,
oil-based thermal plants accounts for 68% of generating capacity,
hydroelectric plants for 30% and nuclear plants for only 2% .This has led to a huge
generation costs, which in turn adversely affect the
economy over the past eight years.
WAPDA has monopoly in market.
The government needs to focus on the proper development of human resources to cater
to the energy sector.
WAPDA had friendly atmosphere with its employees.
WAPDA has the largest operational infrastructure and this type of structure exist only
in 7 to 8 countries in the world.
National University Of Modern Languages | Final Report on WAPDA 135
WAPDA has large number of departments and each department has different section
but not proper coordination between them but not proper coordination between them.
Every task is accomplished after long process, because each file moves vertically, goes
from top to bottom and then bottom to top.
Company’s staff is hard working and well trained comparatively.
The process of maintaining and developing transmission lines is very slow.
Financial policies are well placed in books but not being practiced fully.
Company is required to acquire the latest technologies to install in grid stations to
prevent from line losses and fire in case of over loading on transmission lines.
To maintain a useful survival in the face of global and local challenges WAPDA needs
to adopt professionalism and develop aggressive policy to retain a highly motivated
work force by offering attractive financial and career development incentives.
The long execution times, poor project management skills and consistent delays and
high transmission and distribution losses have thrown the country into a crisis. If timely
action is not taken, this will seriously.
The government needs to take a holistic approach towards the sector in order to cut the
power deficit.
