Synopsis of State Reports (Vol.-IV)
Study on `Impact of Restructuring of SEBs’
In the post-reform period, marked improvements have been noticed in the
network expansion, operational efficiency and increased investments in the
sector.
2.3.2 Operational Parameters
Availability of most of the transmission network in HVPNL is in the range of
98 to 99 per cent. There has been a reduction in the overall losses in the
transmission system in the State. The inter-State losses are around 1.45 per
cent, even the intra-State losses have come down and are at the level of 3 to 4
per cent. There was a significant saving on account of outages to the extent of
about 466 hrs on 220 kV lines because of hotline maintenance carried out by
the Utility staff.
2.3.3 Capital Investment in Transmission Sector
There has been a quantum jump in the planned investment in the transmission
sector in Haryana. The investments increased by about 100 per cent in 2004-05
over 2001-02 on network augmentation. During 1998-99 to 2005-06, the total
expenditure incurred/planned in the transmission sector in the State has been of
the order of the Rs 1,453.58 crore.
2.3.4 Future Investments
HPVNL has set an optimistic investment plan of about Rs 684 crore for 2006-
07 and Rs 5,194 crore for the Eleventh Plan for new sub-stations, and
augmentations of the transmission system. The sources of funds to be deployed
in the investment plan and actual allocations are subject to prudence check and
approval by the Commission.
The impact of restructuring in the transmission sector has been positive and if
the trend is maintained, the transmission network would be resilient to work
seamlessly with the National Grid and to provide Open Access and introduce
ABT regime in the State in a reasonable timeframe.
2.4 DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM - KEY CONCERNS:
Haryana has a widespread distribution system, which came up when the State
became the first in the country to achieve 100 per cent village electrification in
the 1970s. The distribution network is mostly on 11 kV running into 1,12,131
