2.20 POWER & TELECOMMUNI-
CATION CO-ORDINATION
(PTCC)
During the year 1991-92, CEA have recommended 74
cases to DOT for issue of necessary clearance by them so
that the transmission lines could be energised. CEA
engineers were associated in the Low Frequency
Induction tests carried out on Gooty-Banglaroe and
Talaguppa-Shimaga 400 KV transmission lines. CEA
have also provided consultancy services to Bihar State
Electricity Board in processing on computer PTCC cases.
During the year three meetings were organised at Delhi,
Bangalore & Patna for sorting out outstanding issues
related to PTCC clearance. These meetings were attended
by higher level officers from CEA, DOT and SEBs/Power
Utilities.
2.21 RURAL ELECTRIFICATION
PROGRAMME
During the year 1991-92, 2022 inhabited villages were
declared as electrified and 194482 pumpsets energised as
on 30.11.1991, against the target of 5787 villages
electrification and 234530 pumpsets energisation
respectively, for the year as a whole. Cumulatively,
483146 villages have been electrified and 9103592
pumpsets have been energised as on 30.11.1991.
Cumulative progress of rural electrification both in terms
of villages electrified and pumpsets energised as at the
end of Five Year/Annual Plan is reflected in the charts at
pages 18 & 19.
As regards to the electrification of tribal villages, out of a
total of 111886 tribal villages in the country, 73532

electrified.
2.22 SEVENTH FIVE YEAR PALN
The salient features of the approved power programme
during the Seventh Plan (1985-90) were:
a. Induction of an additional generating capacity of
22,245 MW as follows:-
Thermal 15,999 MW
Hydro 5,541 MW
Nuclear 705 MW
22,245 MW
b. Construction of associated transmission and
distribution facilities corresponding to the addition of
22,245 MW generating capacity.

c. Electrification of 1.18 lakh villages and energisation
of 23.9 lakhs pump-sets.
d. Implementation of programmes of renovation and
modernisation, research and development, energy
conservation etc.
The achievement of the Seventh plan power programme
has been impressive. An additional generating capacity of
21,401 MW comprising 17,104 MW of thermal, 3827
MW of hydro and 470 MW nuclear, has been installed,
achievement being 96.2% of the target of the Seventh
Plan. A 250 MW back-to-back HVDC line has been
established at Vindhyachal. About 13,800 Ckt. Kms of
400 KV and 13600 Ckt Kms of 220 KV lines have been
added to the transmission and distribution network in the
country. Electrification of 100494 villages and
energisation of 26.41 lakhs of pumpsets was completed in
the Seventh Plan.
