towns (population > 4 lacs and input energy > 350 MU).
 Part-B focuses on implementation of Sub Transmission & Distribution
system strengthening & up-gradation projects
 Part-C of the scheme aims at Capacity Building of Utility personnel,
development of franchisees, incentive scheme for loss reduction, pilot
projects in areas of innovative technologies and smart grid etc.
 Funding Part A -IT and SCADA projects : Initially 100% as loan. To be
converted into grant on successful completion and verification by Third
Party Independent Evaluation Agency (TPIEA) as per RAPDRP
guidelines.
 Funding Part B Projects: Initially 100 % as loan (from GoI and Fis / own

 Part A projects envisaged technological intervention, at such
massive scale, first time in the country for tackling the
inefficiency and AT &C losses in the Power Distribution
Sector. The Project covers establishment of one Data Centre
(DC) and Disaster Recovery Centre (DRC) in each for the
state/ UT. Common DC and DR envisaged for NE states and
UT with neighboring states. The data at HT consumers, 11 kV
feeders and DTs. The GIS (consumer indexing and assets
mapping ) are
also established.
The project include
establishment of one consumer care centre (CCC) in each of
the state power utilities for addressing consumer issues.
 The project include automisation of business process / Dev.
of software solution for 17 modules such as MBC, Energy
Audit, Connection / Disconnection , Network Analysis etc.

 HVDS (11 kV), Aerial Bunched Conductoring in dense areas
 Replacement of electromagnetic energy meters with tamper proof
electronic meters.
 Installation of capacitor banks
 Renovation, modernization and strengthening of 11 kV S/S,
Transformers
 Reconductoring of lines at 11 kV level & below

Part A IT implementation
States of Gujarat, West Bengal, Uttarakhand, MP and Punjab,
Sikkim, are progressing relatively better and expected to
complete the project within 36 – 42 months from sanction.
States and ITIA of UP, Maharashtra , AP, Tamilnadu,
Rajasthan,
Karnataka, HP have to put more efforts to
complete the project in 36-42 months from sanction.
Other states are lagging in implementation (Bihar, Jharkhand,
J&K, Goa and NE states).
Haryana and Kerala yet to start. Chhattisgarh
has
retendered.
Part B implementation
MP, Gujarat, Rajasthan, WB and Karnataka have started
implementation of Part B, other states are in the process.

Longer than envisaged time taken in appointment of IT
implementing agency (in many cases more than 12 months).
 Longer than envisaged time taken in mobilisation and tying
up of other agencies i.e. GSP, NBSP, MDAS etc and
commencement of work.
 Deployment of dedicated and skilled manpower by utilities and
ITIA , specifically for MDAS, GIS and Software Development
 Proper planning and Administrative restructuring in the
Utilities for migration to new IT based business environment –
preparing for change management
The activities lacking are:
•
Readiness of DC, DR and CCC building with infra in many
states.
•
Development of software modules ( 17 as per SRS of RAPDRP) /
Customization and legacy system.

Real Challenge is implementation of Geographical Information
System. Consumer indexing and Assets Mapping Achieved to the
extent of 15% to 40% only in most of the states in last more than one
and half year (except in West Bengal and Gujarat) and yet to
commence in many states. Large gaps in survey carried out /
information complied and validated by utilities. The main reason is
deployment of skilled man power by implementing agency.
Meter Data Acquisition System (MDAS) -- installation of meters and
modems ( almost in all states the progress is lacking, except in West
Bengal).
Tying up of Network Band Width Service Provider and Connectivity
of towns with DC is lacking.
The real Challenge is that the utilities run the risk of loans not
getting converted into grant, if project is not completed in
successfully time as per guidelines.

Other issues
Common Data Centre and DR Centre (within states –
amongst utilities, with state and neighboring UT / state and
common for all NE states).
Meters specifications and testing .
Readiness of Business process
Integration with legacy system
Mind set and cahange management
Procurement of imageries for towns
Court / litigation cases ( Kerala and Assam)
IT implementing Agency backing out.

Augmentation of skilled manpower by ITIA and Utilities
(ITIA to augment man power with domain knowledge in
power sector, Utility to augment core team dedicated for the
project).
Coordination amongst stake holders ( also co-ordination
between various implementing agencies and utilities in the
states).
Better Project Management and Monitoring of the project at
ITIA , Utility and state govt. level
Parallel action need to be plan for accelerating implementation.
Hired DC building, development of software, adoption of
best practices for GIS and MDAS activities.
Identifying critical areas and focusing on the same.

RAPDRP is creating IT enabling base line data system and TPIEA
have verified the towns AT&C losses in about 300 towns. Utilities
can draw the administrative measures for reducing the AT&C
losses in these towns by curbing the theft, without awaiting for
implementation of Part B.
•
RAPDRP may be considered for extending to towns having
population up to 15,000 ( up to 5000 in special category states)
from present 30,000 ( 10000 in spl cat states).
•
RAPDRP funding may be considered for extending to private
utilities, beginning with DISCOMs in Orissa.
•
RAPDRP funding may be considered for extending for Part B for
towns having AT&C losses < 15%.
•
RAPDRP funding may be considered for Part A SCADA projects
for towns having population of > 2 lacs and input energy of > 150
MU

•
RAPDRP projects are expected to establish base line IT systems
for about 1400 towns and SCADA / DMS in 60 large towns. It is
opportune time to start from here and initiate developing smart
grid suitable for implementation for Indian conditions.
Govt,. Of India have already taken the initiative of forming India
Smart Grid task force and India Smart Grid Forum. Pilot projects
for Smart grid can be considered for funding under Part C of
RAPDRP.
Conclusion
Huge
benefits are
involved for all stake holders in
implementation of RAPDRP and a concerted effort by all the
stakeholders can make the program a grand success; thereby
helping the power sector to grow.
