Synopsis of State Reports (Vol.-IV)
Study on `Impact of Restructuring of SEBs’
101
An average of Rs 2,558
crore per year.
The restructured entities have to improve their efficiency parameters like
reduction in power purchase costs, fuel costs, general purchase costs, interest
costs, aggressive reduction in T&D losses, and improvement in generation
efficiency, etc. It is proposed to bring down T&D losses from 29.79 to 18.5 per
cent and improve overall generation efficiency from 72 to 76 per cent. These
measures are expected to lead to savings of Rs 10,909 crore for the above
period i.e average Rs 1,818 crore per year.
The FRP was approved by Government of Gujarat in December 2005.
Government of Gujarat has approved the final opening balance sheets of the
restructured companies as on 1 April 2005 and the companies have become
fully operational from this date. The companies have prepared their Long-
Term Business Plans and have started showing reductions in their operational
and other costs besides improvement in performance parameters. All the
companies have submitted their respective ARRs. These have been approved
by the GERC for the year 2006-07. Reputed professionals from outside have
been appointed as independent directors on GSECL and GETCL. Similar
action in respect of other Companies is under way.
9.9 Initiatives in Information Technology
e-Urja Project
e-urja, an end-to-end ERP based IT solution, is one of the major IT initiatives
in the power sector being pursued by the State Government. This project
envisages substantial reduction in paper work through online documentation
and approval process. Initially the project has been taken up as a pilot project,
and later on the same is to be extended to other locations.
The benefits likely to accrue are:
• Integrated system covering major areas of each of the companies;
• Streamlined and improved business processes;
• On-time accurate MIS;
