Indo-Nepal Border Road

Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) Government of India has approved project for construction of Roads along Indo-Nepal Border passing through seven Districts namely Pilibhit, Lakhimpur Kheri, Bahraich, Shrawasti, Balrampur, Siddharth Nagar and Mahrajganj of 640 km length at a cost of Rs 1621.00 crores. After Detailed survey 28 DPRs length 574 km and cost Rs 3100 crores have been framed and sent to MHA, GoI. Out of these 28 DPRs GoI has accorded sanction on 12 DPRs for length of 257 km and cost Rs 756 crores. While for remaining 16 DPRs of length 324.04 kms., it is instructed by MHA to get the Forest clearance first then resubmit the DPRs so that sanction may be accorded. Forest clearance of the same is under process.

Out of the sanctioned 12 DPRs, agreements have been framed for 12 works, which are under progress. The land acquisition is under progress.

For construction of Indo-Nepal Border road a provision of Rs. 200 crore is being proposed for construction work and Rs 220 crore for land acquisition in the budget of 2016-17 of GoUP.

Power is the engine of growth of any developing economy. Consumption of electrical energy is a universally accepted indicator of progress in the agricultural, industrial and commercial sectors, as also of the well being of the people of the State. No major economic activity can be sustained without adequate and reliable supply of power. It plays a critical role in employment generation, regional development and poverty eradication. With rapid social, economic and industrial development of the state the demand for electricity is increasing at an average rate of about 12% per annum. In order to keep the on going pace of development, the State has recognized the need for generation capacity augmentation, strengthening and augmentation of transmission and distribution network. Prevention of theft of electricity, reduction in system distribution losses and Energy conservation will also help in reducing the load/demand on the distribution system and help in providing quality supply of electricity to consumers. Presently Uttar Pradesh is facing a peak shortfall of 2000-2500 MW. As per Eighteenth EPS, the peak demand for Uttar Pradesh by the end of 12th Plan is estimated at around 23081 MW.

The demand of power in the State of Uttar Pradesh is expected to increase significantly in the years to come and to meet the augmented generation capacity objective and ensure availability of 650 Kwh. per capita by the end of 2017, the Govt. of Uttar Pradesh has encouraged Private Participation in the Power Sector.

U.P. RAJYA  VIDYUT UTPADAN NIGAM LIMITED

Thermal Generation

The demand of electricity is increasing continuously. In order to minimise the gap between the demand and availability of electricity and to ensure better productivity of agricultural, industrial and other fields, U.P. Rajya Vidyut Utpadan Nigam has envisaged installation of new Thermal Power Projects and R&M (Renovation & Modernization) of old generating stations and extension of its existing Power Stations.

The details of installed capacity (de-rated) of thermal power stations under UPRVUNL on 30.11.2014 are as follows:-

There has been rising demand of power during the last decade but due to various reasons its production has not been raised to meet out the demand. As per the prescribed norms, installed capacity of Hydro Power Stations in Uttar Pradesh is very low compared to thermal power installed capacity. Consequent upon the creation of new state of Uttaranchal in the year 2000, major portion of the installed hydro generation capacity and the hydro power potential are now located in Uttaranchal while Uttar Pradesh is left with limited possibilities of hydro power potential available only on canals and Dam toes. At the beginning of 12^th plan, the present installed hydro generating capacity in the state under UPJVNL is 526.7 MW.

Electricity generated from the above Hydro Power Stations is presently being transmitted to U.P. Power Corporation Ltd. for distribution.

As proposed in 12^th Five Year Plan, Renovation & Modernization(R&M) work of reservoir based Rihand(300 MW), Obra(99 MW) & Matatila(30.6 MW) hydro power stations will continue as such these will provide fresh lease of useful life to plant and machineries alongwith better and modern technology resulting in better efficiency.

For R&M activities of projects in 12^th Five Year Plan, proposal has already been sent to U.P. Govt. No plan outlay(Under Plan) has been proposed, however under Outside Plan Outlay, Rs. 300.00 lacs for Rihand, Rs. 100.00 lacs for Obra(H) & Rs. 100.00 lacs for Matatila has been proposed from Internal Resources.

Based on RLA Study for Renovation & Modernization of these 65-70 years old U.G.C. projects (Nirgazini- 5.0 MW, Chittaura-3.0 MW, Salawa-3.0 MW & Bhola-2.7 MW), Nigam had decided to construct new power house of higher capacity at adjoining sites.

In addition to this, as per Govt. policy, after identification, U.P. Jal Vidyut Nigam Ltd. has processed to establish following 10 new Small Hydro Electric Projects under the aegis of PPP mode.

5 No. SHPs (Ramganga – 3.2 MW, Madho I – 3.75 MW, Madho II – 2.5 MW, Dunda – 3.5 MW and Bandraun – 14.0 MW) have been allotted to private developer after selection on the basis of competitive tariff based bidding.

Rebidding process of 04 Nos. projects (Khairi – 3.75 MW, Shahjahanpur Nahil – 2.5 MW, Karmnasa – 2.0 MW and Sharda Sagar – 1.5 MW) is under process. However, the Malakpur Rehri – 4.0 MW is not found technically feasible.

Transmission Works

At present U.P.Power system has the transmission network to cater to about 10000 MW power. The details of transmission network are given below:

Existing Transmission Network

UPPTCL intends to construct the 03 nos. 765 KV & 09 nos. 400 KV substations along with associated lines under PPP for evacuation of power from upcoming thermal power stations. All the transmission works proposed in private sector have been divided in to two packages of about Rs.5294.05 crores & Rs. 4876.36 crores (Total Rs. 10000 crores). Package 1 has been awarded to M/s. Isolux & Package 2 awarded to M/s. Cobra.
