right type of qualified persons.
8 TARGETS
The installed capacity of APGCL of 575 MW has not been augmented for more
than a decade. The present effective capacity is only 150 MW and operational
capacity is around 100 MW only. In view of the focussed attention on restoring
the units which are under break down and augmenting the supply of gas from
Oil India Limited, the operational capacity was likely to increase by the R&M
scheme (financed by PFC) by 20 MW and Namrup TPC capacity by 36 MW by
June 2006. The generation of 808 MU is better compared to that obtaining in
the last three years prior to restructuring. 3,431 MU of energy available for
transmission in 2004 (the first year of restructuring) was more than the energy
available during any of the last five years. Similarly, the energy of 3,137 MU
delivered by the transmission company in 2004 was higher compared to any of
the previous five years. The target for reduction in the transmission loss has
been kept so as to achieve a level of 6 per cent by 2007-08 from the current
level of 8.55 per cent. This is likely to be achieved as substantial investment is
being made under APDRP, NLCPR, ADB and other schemes. The target for
reduction in the technical losses by 2007 is from 18 per cent to 14 per cent and
in commercial losses, from 14 per cent to 5 per cent. In the first year of
restructuring, there had not been any noteworthy reduction by the DISCOMs.
9 FINANCIAL

ASEB. The cash deficit was envisaged up to 2005-06. Non-cash settlements
were required to be made. The targets and the actuals are as under:
