4.1 PHYSICAL <strong>PERFORMANCE</strong><br />
4.1.1 OPERATIONAL <strong>PERFORMANCE</strong><br />
As on March 31, 1<strong>99</strong>7 <strong>Power</strong>grid Corporation <strong>of</strong> India Ltd. (PGCIL) operates a total <strong>of</strong><br />
27853 Circuit Kilometers (CKms) transmission lines consisting <strong>of</strong> 1<strong>99</strong>73 CKms. <strong>of</strong> 400 KV,<br />
5125 CKms. <strong>of</strong> 220 KV, 1125 CKms. <strong>of</strong> 132 KV and 1630 CKms. <strong>of</strong> HVDC system<br />
distributed over 54 sub-stations with 23331 MVA <strong>of</strong> transformation capacity. The operational<br />
performance <strong>of</strong> POWERGRID transmission system has been quite satisfactory in all the five<br />
power regions. Overall average availability <strong>of</strong> transmission lines during the year was <strong>99</strong>.48%<br />
which is comparable with best international standards.<br />
4.1.2 CONSTRUCTION <strong>PERFORMANCE</strong><br />
Since incorporation, till the end <strong>of</strong> 1<strong>99</strong>7-98, PGCIL has added more than 17000 Circuit<br />
Kms. <strong>of</strong> transmission network. During 1<strong>99</strong>7-98 PGCIL has commissioned 3150 CKms.<br />
<strong>of</strong> transmission lines and 630 MVA <strong>of</strong> Transformer capacity.<br />
Presently, about 12,700 Ckt. Kms. <strong>of</strong> transmission lines with voltage levels varying<br />
from 132 KV to 800 KV and 39 sub-stations, including bays, are under construction<br />
which are expected to be completed progressively in the coming years to match with<br />
the commissioning <strong>of</strong> generation projects.<br />
4.1.3 COMMERCIAL <strong>PERFORMANCE</strong>:<br />
The gross turnover owing to wheeling & sale <strong>of</strong> power during the year 1<strong>99</strong>6-97 reached<br />
Rs.1058 crores. PGCIL continued to realise 100% <strong>of</strong> its monthly dues and in some<br />
months even in excess on the monthly notified billing i.e. realisation against previous<br />
oustanding all through the year 1<strong>99</strong>6-97. This was the result <strong>of</strong> a relentless endeavor to<br />
minimise the sundry debtors. 21 constituents were persuaded to opening <strong>of</strong> LC and<br />
total LC amount as on 31.3.97 stands at Rs.50.19 crore, which is more than 70% <strong>of</strong> an<br />
average monthly bill raised by PGCIL.<br />
Bulk <strong>Power</strong> Transmission Agreements (BPTA) were signed with all the constituents in<br />
the country. In addition to this <strong>Power</strong>grid entered into a BPTA with Kerala State<br />
Electricity Board(KSEB) for transmission lines associated with NTPC’s Kayamkulam<br />
power plant.<br />
During the year, other issues that were pending for long were successfully resolved.<br />
Some <strong>of</strong> these relates to the issue <strong>of</strong> notification for transmission lines associated with<br />
