MPSEB and they worked as agent of MPSEB from July 2002 to May 2005.
The companies started independent functioning w.e.f. 1.6.2005 under Cash
flow mechanism as per State Government order dated 31.5.2005.
5. A sixth Company, namely MP Power Trading Company Ltd, was
incorporated as per the State Governments Notification dated 03/06/2006
specifying the functions of TRADECO for purchase of electricity in bulk
from Generating companies /Traders, from within & outside the State and to
supply electricity in bulk to the Electricity Distribution Companies in the
State of Madhya Pradesh. GoMP vide letter No. 6074/13/12/02 dated
29/03/12 has changed the name of M.P. Power Trading Co. Ltd. to M.P.
Power Management Co. Ltd. and it has been made the holding company for

units of 210MW each at SGTPS Birsinghpur out of which 4 Units of 210
MW were commissioned. However, with the advent of technology and
availability of 500 MW Units in the country, it was decided by erstwhile
MPSEB to set up 1x500 MW capacity in lieu of 2x210 MW Units in the
Stage-III of the project, in the space available in the Birsinghpur Plant site.
7.
Administrative approval for setting up of the 500 MW Unit at Sanjay
Gandhi Thermal Power Station, Birsinghpur was accorded by Government
of Madhya Pradesh vide letter No. 10197/F-3/31/13/97 dated 24/12/1997
(Annexure-1). Techno-economic clearance to the project was granted by
CEA vide O.M. No. 2/MP/46/96-PAC/11280 302 dated 20/12/2002 at a
total estimated cost of Rs. 2093.75 Crore (Annexure-2). This estimated
approved project cost of Rs. 2093.75 Cr. has been revised to Rs. 2300 Cr and
the same has been approved by GoMP, vide letter No. 3193/13/2007 dated
04/05/2007 (Annexure-3).
8.
GoMP vide its notification dated 3rd Jun 2006 has provided that the
Petitioner will sell entire power generated by the Sanjay Gandhi Thermal
Power Station to the MP Power Trading Company Ltd., now M.P. Power
Management Company Ltd., Respondent 1, at a rate determined by Honble
MPERC. A Power Purchase Agreement to this effect signed between
MPPGCL and MP Tradeco on 29th
Nov 2006 has already been submitted to
the Honble Commission on 30th
Nov 2006.
9.
The instant petition is filed under Section 62 of Electricity Act, 2003 which
provides determination of tariff by the Appropriate Commission for supply of
electricity by a generating company. The Honble Commission is vested with
the jurisdiction to regulate the tariff of Generating Companies owned or
controlled by a State Government and other Generating Companies as
envisaged under Section 86(1)(a) & (b) of Electricity Act, 2003.
10.
500 MW SGTPS Extn. Unit-5, Birsinghpur, was synchronized on
18/06/2007 and its COD was envisaged w.e.f. Nov, 2007. Accordingly, a
petition, No. 51/2007 dated 19/09/2007, was filed before the Honble
Commission for determination of provisional generation tariff of 500 MW
SGTPS Extn. Unit, in accordance to MPERC (Terms and Conditions for
Determination of Generation Tariff) Regulation 2005 (G-26 of 2005).
11.
However, during the hearing held in the matter at MPERC on 30/10/2007,
the Commission rejected the request of the Petitioner for approval of
provisional tariff. The Commission observed that the Unit had not started

commercial generation and as such opined that till the Unit starts generating
electricity commercially, the Commission may consider allowing the cost of
Infirm Power injected into the grid on the basis of fuel and employee related
expenses. The Commission, therefore, directed the Petitioner to file the cost
of fuel, i.e., cost of coal and oil used exclusively for generation of electricity
from the subject Unit along with the expenditure made by the company on
the employees working in the Unit (Annexure-4). In compliance, the
Petitioner submitted before MPERC, vide letter dated 27/11/2007, the actual
fuel cost and other costs for the 500 MW Unit.
12.
The Honble Commission, vide its order dated 18/01/2008 (Annexure-5),
disapproved the Petitioners request for approval of provisional tariff stating
that the Unit has not started generating electricity commercially, however
the Commission allowed the Petitioner recovery of Infirm Power charges,
till CoD of the Unit, as per the latest Regulations/ amendments/
clarifications issued by CERC. The Honble Commission also directed the
Petitioner to file the petition for determination of provisional tariff for 1x500
MW Extn. Unit at SGTPS, Birsinghpur, as soon as COD of the Unit was
achieved.
13.
The State Load Dispatch Centre (SLDC) raised objection over the date of
effectiveness of the order passed by the Honble Commission dated
18/01/2008 under Petition No. 51/2007. The Petitioner, vide its letter dated
18/08/2008 (Annexure-6), informed the Commission regarding SLDCsobjection that since the CERC order, referred by the Honble Commission in
its order dated 18/01/2008, came into force from 07/01/2008 therefore its
retrospective effect could not be allowed from October 2007. The Petitioner
sought suitable directives of the Honble Commission for computation of
Infirm Power from October 2007.
14.
The Honble Commission, vide its order dated 20/10/2008 (Annexure-7),
upheld SLDCs interpretation, since the applicability of CERC amendment
of regulation 19 of Tariff regulations, which provides accounting of Infirm
Power as UI and its being paid for at the applicable frequency linked UI
rates, was made effective from 07/01/2008. Further, since there was no
regulation in vogue to govern the rate of Infirm Power before the
applicability of the amended regulation of CERC, the Honble Commission
decided to base the cost of Infirm Power prior to 07/01/2008 on CERCs
decision on costing of Infirm Power for Vindhyachal Thermal Power Station

Stage-III. Accordingly, the Commission allowed the Petitioner to claim the
Infirm Power energy at the rate of 101.35 Paise per kWh, determined by the
Commission in its Order dated 20/10/2008, from the date of synchronization
up to 06/01/2008. Infirm Energy with effect from 07/01/2008 till COD was
allowed to be billed as given in the Commissions order dated 18/01/2008.
15.
COD of 500 MW SGTPS Extn. Unit-5, Birsinghpur, was achieved on
28/08/2009. The Unit supplied Infirm Power of 1573.838 MU in the Grid
during the period from 01/10/2007 to 27/08/2008 and the amount billed for
Infirm Power Generation is Rs.498.41 Crores, in accordance with MPERC
Orders dated 18/01/2008 (Annexure-5) and 20/10/2008 (Annexure-7).
16. In Compliance to the Honble Commissions directives, given vide its Order
dated 18/01/2008, the Petitioner filed a Petition (No.12/2009) on 24/03/2009
for determination of provisional generation tariff for 500 MW SGTPS Extn.Unit-5, Birsinghpur, from 28/08/2009, i.e., the Date of Commercial
Operation (COD) to 31/03/2009, as per MPERC (Terms And Conditions For
Determination Of Generation Tariff) Regulations, 2005 (G-26 Of 2005).
17.
A presentation on the tariff proposal of MPPGCL was made by the
Commission before the members of State Advisory Committee on
03/06/2009 and a Public Hearing in the matter was held on 15/09/2009 at
MPERC office Bhopal.
18. Honble Commission passed an Order dated 24/11/2009 (Annexure-8)and
provisionally allowed the total cost of generation for 500 MW SGTPS Extn.
Unit-5, Birsinghpur, from 28/08/2009 to 31/03/2009, as given below:

applicable. Since the SGTPS Extn. Unit-5, Birsinghpur, was MPPGCLs
first 500 MW Unit and MPPGCL did not have previous experience of
operation and maintenance of 500 MW size Units, the Petitioner in its
Petition for Provisional Tariff (No. 12/2009) had sought relaxed norms of
operation for initial six months. However, Honble Commission did not
consider the Petitioners request on the grounds that as per clause 16 of
CERC Regulations 2004 stabilization period and relaxed norms applicable
during the stabilization period ceased to apply from 01/04/2006.
20. Therefore, in the instant Petition, for the period FY09 the Petitioner has
considered Norms of operation as prescribed in CERC Regulations 2004.
For FY10 to FY12 the Norms of operation as stipulated in MPERC (Terms
And Conditions For Determination Of Generation Tariff) Regulations, 2009
(RG-26 (I) Of 2009) have been considered.
21. In the Petition for Provisional Tariff (No. 12/2009), the Petitioner had
submitted a revised project cost estimate of Rs. 2300.00 Crores along with
reasons for revision in the project cost estimate. The Honble Commission
vide its letter No. 1072 dated 29/05/2009 (Annexure-9) had desired some
additional information along with reference documents in respect of the
revised project cost of Rs. 2300 Crores. In compliance, the Petitioner vide
letter No. 240 dated 22/06/2009 (Annexure-10) submitted the information
desired by the Commission. GoMPs approval in respect of the revised
project cost of Rs. 2300 Crore, for 500MW SGTPS Extn. Unit No. 5Birsinghpur, accorded vide letter No. 3193/13/2007 dated 04/05/2007, was
already submitted by the Petitioner before the Honble Commission.
22.
However, the Honble Commission, in its Order dated 24/11/2009, made an
observation that the Petitioner had not taken approval from CEA for the cost
over-run. The Commission, therefore, decided to take original project cost as
approved by CEA for determination of provisional tariff. The Commission
also directed the Petitioner, vide its aforesaid order, to take approval from
CEA for the cost over-run before filing the petition for final generation
tariff.
23. During the Public Hearing held in MPERC in Sept 2009 in the matter of
Petition for Provisional Tariff of 500 MW SGTPS Extn. Unit-5, Birsinghpur,
the Petitioner had submitted before the Honble Commission that, after the
implementation of Electricity Act 2003, approval of project cost estimate
from CEA was not mandatory and that since the Petitioner had already

obtained approval of the State Government for the revised project cost,
approval of CEA should not be insisted.
24.
MPPGCL had filed a petition (No. 54/2009) before the Honble Commission
on 30/09/2009 for approval of generation tariff for the new control periodfrom FY10 to FY12, under MYT Principles. The Commission while passing
the Order dated 03/03/2010 in the matter, observed in respect of 500MW
SGTPS Extn. Unit No. 5 that since the Petitioner had not filed the petition
for determination of final tariff in respect of the new 500MW SGTPS Extn.
Unit No. 5, the Commission had, therefore, considered capital cost and other
components for the 500MW Unit, in the MYT Order dated 03/03/2010,
same as those provisionally admitted by the Commission in the Provisional
Tariff Order dated 24/11/2009 passed by the Commission in respect of
500MW SGTPS Extn. Unit No. 5. The Commission, therefore, allowed the
petitioner to recover the fixed charges only to the extent of 95% of the fixed
charges for 500MW SGTPS Extn. Unit No. 5 determined in the MYT Order
dated 03/03/2010, on provisional basis subject to retrospective adjustment
on determination of final tariff of the Unit.
25. In compliance to the Honble Commission directives, given in MPERC
Order dated 24/11/2009, the Petitioner approached CEA, vide letter dated
17/07/2010 (Annexure-11), seeking approval of the revised project cost of
Rs.2300.00 Crores for 500 MW SGTPS Extn. Unit-5, Birsinghpur. CEA,
vide their letter dated 08/11/2010 (Annexure-12), quoting references ofdecisions of Honble High Court of Delhi and CERC in similar cases, has
informed that approval of CEA for the project cost estimate of 500 MW
SGTPS Extn. Unit-5, Birsinghpur, is not required.
26. The Honble Commission in its Order dated 22/03/2012, in the matter of
Petition (No. 55/2011) filed by the Petitioner for True-up of Generation
Tariff for FY 2008-09, observed in respect of 500MW SGTPS Extn. Unit
No. 5 that since the project cost and funding of the new 500MW Unit shall
be finalized in its final tariff order on filing of petition by the Petitioner, any
change in cost on account of 500MW SGTPS Extn. Unit No. 5 was not
considered in the aforesaid True-up Order dated 22/03/2012 for FY 2008-09.
27.
In its petition for determination of provisional tariff (No. 12/2009), the
Petitioner had submitted month wise details of fuel cost incurred during
Infirm Power generation. Honble Commission had observed some
inconsistency in the rate of coal and oil consumed during Infirm Power

generation as compared with the audited figures for October, November and
December 2007. The Commission, therefore, in its order dated 24/11/2009
(Annexure-8), provisionally computed the cost of fuel during Infirm Power
generation as Rs. 174.21 Crores and directed the Petitioner that the actual
quantity and rate of coal & oil shall be determined and allowed at the time of
final tariff as and when the exact and authentic figures are filed by the
Petitioner. Based on the fuel expenditure provisionally computed as
mentioned above, the Honble Commission, in its order dated 24/11/2009
for provisional tariff, had determined a figure of Rs. 324.20 Crores as the net
revenue from Infirm Power generation.
28.
In compliance to the Honble Commissions directives, audited figures for
fuel expenditure during Infirm Power generation have been filed in the
instant Petition. The amount for fuel expenditure during Infirm Power
generation, as per audited books of accounts of MPPGCL, is Rs.222.80
Crores (Annexure-13). Accordingly, the net revenue earned from Infirm
Power generation is Rs. 275.60 Crores and the same has been applied for
reduction in capital cost as per MPERC Regulations 2005.
29.
The Petitioner has filed this petition for approval of final tariff of 500 MW,
SGTPS Extension Unit-5 w.e.f. its date of commercial operation (COD), i.e.,
28/08/2008, up to 31/03/2012 based on the numbers in the audited books of
accounts of MPPGCL for FY09, FY10 and FY11. Figures for FY12
submitted in the petition are on provisional basis and true-up for the same
shall be done on completion of the balance works of the project and on
finalization of accounts for FY12.
30.
The Petition has been prepared for the period FY09 based on the terms and
conditions of tariff notified by the Honble Commission vide MPERC
(Terms And Conditions For Determination Of Generation Tariff)
Regulations, 2005, {G-26 of 2005} and for the period FY10 to FY12 based

availability / non-applicability with the petition, the same has been marked
accordingly.
31.
Net revenue earned from the sale of Infirm Power, after accounting for the
fuel expenses for infirm power generation, is Rs. 275.60 Crores and thesame has been applied for reduction in capital cost as on COD. As such the
net capital expenditure towards the project as on COD, as per the audited
books of accounts, is Rs. 1994.23 Crores (Annexure-14). This has been
considered for tariff determination purpose.
32.
Additional capital expenditure after COD up to 31/03/2011, as per audited
books of accounts, is as given below:
Period Amount
a.
W.E.F. COD to 31/03/2009 : Rs. 3.35 Crs.

1.1 Sanjay Gandhi Thermal Power Station (SGTPS) is located in Umaria, District
of Madhya Pradesh. Initially it was envisaged to install 6 coal based units of210MW each at SGTPS Birsighpur, in stages. However, with the advent of
technology and availability of 500 MW size Units in the country, it was
decided by erstwhile MPSEB to set up one 500 MW Unit in lieu of 2*210
MW, fifth and sixth Units, in the space available at SGTPS Birsinghpur.
Accordingly the project was taken up after obtaining requisite following
clearances:
Administrative approval of State Govt. vide letter No. 10197/F-3/31/13/97
dated 24/12/97 for setting up of 1 x 500 MW additional unit at Sanjay
Gandhi Thermal Power Station, Birsinghpur.(Annexure-1)

with height of 275 M vide letter No. AAI/NAD/ 20012/35/9-ARI dated
26.11.97 and subsequent extension. (Annexure-19)
1.2
Since, 500 MW Unit was to be located within the existing plant boundary of
SGTPS, as an extension to the existing power station, major land which was
already acquired earlier in Phase-I has been used for installation of main plant
and equipment. However, due to change in the scheme of Coal Handling Plant
and for laying of ash pipe line, forest land to the tune of 4.7 Ha was additionally
required. The same was granted by MoEF, Regional office, Bhopal in May 2004.

Against our requirement of 292 Ha of forest land for ash disposal, Department of
Agriculture & Co-operation, Ministry of Agriculture, had allowed 100 Ha of
land in PhaseI of SGTPS, and also agreed to consider balance 192 Ha of land in
further two phases, so as to avoid large number of trees from being clear felled at
one time and also to avoid excessive soil erosion. The Forest Department
awarded another 100 Ha of Forest land in Nov.2006, for the 2nd
phase of Ash
Bund.

2.3 Reasons for revision in Project Cost Estimate to Rs.2300 Crores
2.3.1 Land and RR Cost
This cost was revised due to change in scope and rise in prices.
2.3.2
EPC Cost
The base EPC cost has remained constant. However estimated provision
for price variation was increased so as to take care of inflation in the price
indices of material and labor components as per terms of EPC contract
placed in BHEL. Amount towards works contract tax on civil works has
been revised downwards due to exercising of option for composition mode
as per provisions of Commercial Tax Act 1994. Amount estimated towards
taxes & duties on materials purchased was increased due to change in
Price Variation amount and imposition of education Cess. Additional
provision was required to be made due to imposition of service tax on civil
works and erection contracts.
2.3.3 Non-EPC Cost
Under this cost the major head covered are spares and railway siding. It
was increased due to increase in price inflation for spares and change in
scope and design of railway-siding during approval by railways.
2.3.4 IDC & FC
This cost was estimated to be less as compared to original provision due tochange in rate of interest by M/s PFC from time to time. The rate was
originally stated to be 11% and had changed from time to time. The
revised estimate of IDC was made assuming completion of trial operations
by Feb/Mar 2007, as per the commitment given by BHEL in April 2006,
and the rate of interest as 10% per annum. Thus, the IDC was estimated to
be Rs.269 Crores as against Rs. 305.05 Crores envisaged originally.
2.4

2.6
Interest During Construction (IDC)
Funding of the 500MW SGTPS Extn. Unit No. 5, is through PFC Loan of
Rs.1560.00 Crores and GoMP/MPSEB Equity of Rs. 625.00 Crores. As per
the PFC demand statements, the figure for IDC is Rs. 397.81 Crores. Details
of quarter wise drawls and interest and finance charges till COD is given in
Form 16. However, as per the audited Books of Accounts of MPPGCL, the
amount for Interest during Construction (IDC), included in the project cost ason COD, is Rs. 407.74 Crores. The additional amount of Rs. 9.93 Crores
booked under IDC as per audited books of accounts is mainly for the MPSEB
period when ESAAR 1985 accounting procedure was being followed, which
eliminates identification of source to its use while capitalization of interest on
funds.
The difference of Rs. 9.93 Crores in the figures for IDC as per PFC demand
statements and as per audited books of accounts is mainly due to capitalization
of interest liability by erstwhile MPSEB to various Power Stations considering
the ratio of CWIP at various Power Stations. As the interest liability pertaining
to SGTPS 500 MW was transferred to MPPGCL through final opening
balance sheet as on 1st June, 2005, notified by GoMP vide its notification No.
No.4068-FRS-18-2002-XIII dated 12th June, 2008, same has been considered
by MPPGCL for determination of Project cost.

Commission to allow the IDC amount of Rs. 407.74 Crores as per audited
books of accounts.
2.7
Capital expenditure for Phase-II Ash Bund and allied works:
Since the capacity of the existing ash dump area at SGTPS Birsinghpur was
assessed to be exhausted by January 2011 or earlier, which could endanger the
operation of the thermal generating Units of SGTPS Birsinghpur, development
works for the second phase of ash dump (in 100 Hectares of forest land)
needed to be taken up timely. Accordingly, necessary approvals from MoEF
(GoI) and Forest Department, GoMP, Bhopal were obtained and other
activities were initiated in this regard for design of ash bund and its cost
estimation, etc. The estimated expenditure for the second phase of Ash Bund
is Rs. 46.26 Crores and the same shall be funded through the presently tied up
funds for 500 MW SGTPS Extn. Unit No. 5.
CEA while according techno-economic clearance and approving the initial
project cost estimate of Rs. 2093.75 Crores for 500MW SGTPS Extn. Unit
No. 5, vide its letter dated 20/12/2002 (Annexure-2), had not allowed the
provision for the construction of ash dyke for new ash pond as the existing ash
pond of stage-I was considered adequate to meet the requirement of ash
disposal of existing stage-I and proposed stage-II of the project up to 2008 and
also in view of MOEFs notification of September, 1998 requiring 100%utilization of fly ash by 2008. However, it was stated that any provision
required at a later date will be allowed as capital addition based on the
assessment of the stipulated requirements at that time by the concerned
regulatory authority.
In this regard, it may be highlighted that during the techno-economic clearance
stage of SGTPS Birsinghpur Project, the MoEF (GoI) had approved to take up
the works related to ash bund including ash disposal system in phased manner,
in three phases. Thus, the works related to the Phase-II and Phase-III ash
bunds were also a part of the original project report of Birsinghpur Complex.
However, the cost estimates for Phase-II and Phase-III ash bunds were not
made part of the project cost of 4*210 MW and 1*500 MW Units, during
installation and commissioning of these Units, as the same were not finalized
at that time.

As per MPERC (Terms And Conditions For Determination Of Generation
Tariff) Regulations, 2005 (G-26 Of 2005), additional capital expenditure
actually incurred after the date of commercial operation and duly audited may
be considered by the Commission, subject to prudence check. As per clause
19(f) of MPERC Regulations 2005, any additional works/ services, which
have become necessary for efficient and successful operation of a generating
station but not included in the original capital cost is considered as additional
capital expenditure. Accordingly, the Petitioner requested the Honble
Commission, vide letter dated 20/02/2009, Annexure-32, to accord In-
principle approval for additional capital expenditure for development of
Phase-II of Ash disposal and allied works and financing from the project cost
of 1*500 MW Unit.
The Honble Commission vide letter dated 27/04/2009, Annexure-33,informed that the Commission shall consider the additional capital expenditure
incurred or projected to be incurred within the original scope of work after the
date of commercial operation in accordance with the Regulation 20 of the
terms and conditions of generation tariff for the next control period
commencing 2009.
2.8 There was a clause in the contract agreement for deduction of Liquidated
Damages from BHELs invoices on account of delays in the project
attributable to BHEL. An amount of Rs.93.04 Crores has been deducted
towards LD from BHELs dues which will be settled in due course of time. A
brief write-up on reasons for project delays is given in Annexure-34. Besides
LD, a cumulative amount of Rs. 18.89 Crores as on 31/03/2011 had been
retained as ERV/CDV. Year wise cumulative amounts retained as ERV/CDV
as on COD, end of FY09, end of FY10 and at end of FY11 are Rs.3.70 Crores,
Rs.5.77 Crores, Rs.17.54 Crores and Rs. 18.89 Crores, respectively. The
cumulative retention amount towards ERV/CDV as on 31/03/2011 should
actually have been limited to Rs.18.5 Crores only. Excess retained amount of
Rs.0.39 Crores has, therefore, been adjusted in May 2012. As such the net
amount retained as ERV/CDV is Rs.18.50 Crores. The amounts of LD and
ERV/CDV shall be finalized after reconciliation of accounts with BHEL prior
to closure of contract(s). These amounts are appearing as liability in the books
of accounts. Final decision in the matter of treatment of LD and ERV/CDV
deducted/retained from BHELs invoices shall be taken at the time of project
closure.

Quarter wise loan drawals are elaborated in Form -16. As a part of the total
loan funding of Rs. 1675.00 Crores in the approved total estimated cost of Rs.
2300.00 Crores, an additional loan of Rs. 115.00 Crores was also applied for
from PFC, in Oct 2006. However, subsequently, due to expected delay in the
project execution MPPGCL had decided to levy LD on M/s BHEL resultinginto reduction in fund requirements. Therefore, PFC was requested to defer the
processing of MPPGCLs proposal for sanctioning additional loan of Rs. 115
Crores, in Feb 2007.
3.5 Ratio of loan and equity drawls as on COD is given in table below:

As seen from the above table, total equity drawn till COD is 32.45%. ThePetitioner has, therefore, considered admissible equity amount of Rs. 577.74
Crores only, 30% of total funding as on COD, for computing the return on
equity as per MPERC (Terms and Conditions for Determination of Generation
Tariff) Regulations, 2005 {G-26 of 2005}. The balance equity amount of
Rs.47.26 Crores has been treated as Normative Loan and interest has been
claimed at weighted average rate of interest for the Year.

6.1
Return on Equity for the period FY09 has been computed on the paid up
equity capital determined in accordance with regulation 20 of "MPERC
Regulations, 2005 {G-26 OF 2005}" and has been computed at 14% (post tax)
per annum. Where equity employed is in excess of 30%, the amount of equity
for the purpose of tariff has been limited to 30% and the balance amount has
been considered as loan. The interest rate applicable on the equity in excess of
30%, treated as loan, has been taken as specified in regulation 22 of "MPERC
Regulations, 2005 {G-26 OF 2005}". Where actual equity employed is less
than or equal to 30%, the actual equity has been considered.
6.2 Return on Equity for the period FY10 to FY12 has been computed on the paid
up equity capital determined in accordance with regulation 21 of "MPERC
Regulations, 2009 {RG-26 (I) OF 2009}" and has been computed on pre-tax
basis at the base rate of 15.5% to be grossed up as per regulation 22.3 of
"MPERC Regulations, 2009 {RG-26 (I) OF 2009}". Where equity actually
employed is in excess of 30%, the amount of equity for the purpose of Tariff
has been limited to 30% and the balance amount has been considered as loan.
The interest rate applicable on the equity in excess of 30%, treated as loan, has
been taken as specified in Regulation 23 of "MPERC Regulations, 2009 {RG-
26 (I) OF 2009}". Where actual equity employed is less than or equal to 30%,
the actual equity has been considered.
6.3 Since no tax has been paid by MPPGCL in FY10 and FY11, the return on
equity has been computed on the base rate of 15.5 % for FY10 and FY11. For
FY12, the rate of return on equity has been computed by grossing up the base
rate with the Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT) rates applicable. In case,
MPPGCL becomes liable to pay any other type of tax /surcharge on RoE, thesame shall be chargeable separately.
6.4 Accordingly, Return on Equity for the respective Years works out as under :-

8.1 Honble Commission in its regulation "MPERC (Terms and Conditions of
Generation Tariff) Regulations, 2005 {G-26 OF 2005}" has specified the
principles of charging depreciation. MPPGCL has determined the weighted
average rate of depreciation for FY09 as per the Regulations, 2005, at rates
specified in Appendix I of the Regulation. Further the Honble Commission,
in its Regulations 2005, clause 2.20, permits Advance against Depreciation
(AAD) for new projects in addition to allowable depreciation, provided if the
cumulative repayment up to a particular year exceeds the cumulative
depreciation up to that year. Since the cumulative repayment up to FY09 is nil,
MPPGCL has not claimed any AAD, as per Regulations 2005.
