The five Companies are as under: a) b) c) d) e) M.P. Power Generating Company Ltd., Jabalpur (MPPGCL) M.P. Power Transmission Company Ltd., Jabalpur (MPPTCL) M.P. Poorv Kshetra Vidyut Vitaran Company Ltd., Jabalpur (MPPoKVVCL) M.P. Paschim Kshetra Vidyut Vitaran Company Ltd., Indore (MPPaKVVCL) M.P. Madhya Kshetra Vidyut Vitaran Company Ltd.

With effect from 1st June 2005, the Operation and Management Agreement that existed between Madhya Pradesh State Electricity Board and the Five Companies came to end with the issue of the said Order dated 31-05-2005. The three Discoms viz.

The transfer was 3 ARR for MYT FY 2016-17 to FY 2018-19 and Tariff Petition for FY 2016-17 affected through "M.P. Electricity Reforms Transfer Scheme Rules 2006” (Transfer Scheme Rules) vide Notification No.3474 /FRS/17/XIII/2002 dtd 3rd June 2006 (Transfer Scheme Rules). 8. In accordance with GoMP decision, the name of MP Power Trading Company Ltd has been changed to MP Power Management Company Ltd. MPPMCL is the holding Company of the three electricity distribution companies (Discoms) of MP State, viz., M. P. Poorv Kshetra Vidyut Vitaran Company Ltd., M. P. Paschim Kshetra Vidyut Vitaran Company Ltd. and M. P. Madhya Kshetra Vidyut Vitaran Company Ltd. The Petitioner (MPPMCL) has been vested with several of functions and powers that were earlier vested with the erstwhile Madhya Pradesh State Electricity Board. The Registrar of Companies MP has issued the Certificate of Incorporation Consequent upon Change of Name on 10.04.2012. 9. GoMP has entrusted the MPPMCL with the responsibility inter alia of representing the Discoms before the Commission with regard to filing the tariff petition and facilitating all proceedings thereon. The Management and Corporate functions agreement signed by the MPPMCL with the three Discoms of MP also provide for the same. 10. MPPMCL has signed “Management and Corporate Functions Agreement” on 5th June 2012, with the three Discoms of the State, wherein it has been agreed that the Petitioner shall perform inter alia the following functions of common nature for the Discoms: In consultation with Discoms, undertake long-term/ medium-term/short-term planning and assessment of the power purchase requirements for the three Discoms and explore opportunities for power procurement as per the regulations of MPERC; Allocation of power among the Discoms from the forthcoming projects as per retail tariff order and as per the GoMP notification and further instructions in this regard; Economic, reliable and cost effective power procurement of Short-term, Medium-term and Long-term and sale of surplus power, if any, for the purpose of Banking / maximization of revenue; Exploring opportunities for procurement of power on long-term and medium-term basis, procure power and finalizing Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs); The expenses of MPPMCL have been considered to be included as part of power purchase cost of the Discoms. 11. In the backdrop of the above facts and circumstances, the present application is being made by the MPPMCL along with the three Distribution Companies of MP State under Section 61 and Section 62 (1) (d) of the Electricity Act 2003 for determination of the tariff for distribution and Retail Supply Business for the period FY 2016-17 following the regulations laid down by the Hon’ble Commission. 12. While filing the present ARR under the prevailing Regulation, MPPMCL along with the Discoms has endeavored to comply with the various legal and regulatory directions and stipulations 4 ARR for MYT FY 2016-17 to FY 2018-19 and Tariff Petition for FY 2016-17 applicable, including the directions given by the Hon'ble Commission in the Business Rules of the Commission, the Guidelines, previous ARR and Tariff Orders and the Madhya Pradesh Electricity Regulatory Commission (Terms & Conditions for determination of Tariff) Regulation 2015 (hereinafter referred to as the “Regulations”). 13. It is submitted that as soon as the retail tariff order becomes applicable, the voltage level and consumer category wise cross subsidy surcharge, additional surcharge, wheeling charges and transmission charges in respect of open access customers should also be notified and made effective from the tariff application date. It is therefore, prayed to kindly issue the approach paper for determination of the voltage level and consumer category wise cross subsidy surcharge, additional surcharge, wheeling charges and transmission charges also along with the retail tariff order for open access customers. 14. It is also submitted that the Petitioners have not separated the consumers, connected load, energy units sold and projected revenue in the Franchisee areas of Sagar, and Ujjain from their sales and revenue model as the consumers in the franchisee area remain to be the consumers of the Distribution Licensee and not the Franchisee. The franchisee is only a collection agent working on behalf of the Distribution Licensee and recovers charges from consumers at the tariff determined by the Hon’ble MPERC. The revenue realized by the Distribution Licensee is completely in accordance with the tariff determined by the Hon’ble MPERC. The projections of these parameters have been done on the basis of most feasible growth rate out of Compounded Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) for the last 3 and 2 years, YoY growth and corresponding period growth up to September 2015. 15. This petition is filed on the basis of normative parameters as provided by Hon’ble MPERC in Regulation no: 2256-MPERC.2015 dated 17/12/2015 regarding MPERC (Terms and Conditions for Determination of Tariff for Supply and Wheeling of Electricity and Methods and Principles for Fixation of Charges) Regulations 2015. The Regulation does not provide segregation of normative losses for the Distribution Licensees into voltage wise normative losses in respect of technical and commercial losses. Therefore, the Petitioners face difficulty in segregation of normative losses in voltage level wise technical and commercial losses. The Hon’ble MPERC in the previous year’s order has referred to an Appellate Tribunal for Electricity (APTEL) judgment to determine the voltage level wise Cost of Supply in the state of MP. However, this judgment is to determine the voltage level wise cross subsidy surcharge and not consumer tariff. In the present petition, the Petitioners have proposed consumer category wise tariff on the basis of Average Cost of Supply, which is in line with the National Tariff Policy 2006. The Hon’ble Commission is requested to determine the voltage level and consumer category wise cross subsidy surcharge on the basis of the available data with the Distribution Licensees in accordance with the methodology suggested by the APTEL and also approved by Hon’ble Commission in its Retail Supply Tariff Order for FY 2016-17. 16. Based on the information available, the Petitioners have made sincere efforts to comply with the Regulations of the Hon'ble Commission and discharge its obligations to the best of its ability and resources at its command. However, should any further information of material significance 5 ARR for MYT FY 2016-17 to FY 2018-19 and Tariff Petition for FY 2016-17 becomes available during the process of determination, the petitioners may be permitted to reserve the right to file such additional information and consequently amend/ revise the petition. 17. In consequences of the APTEL’s judgement, the Hon’ble Commission has approved the balance amount of true- up costs for all the three Discoms for FY 2005-06. The approved true up amount has also been considered while filing the total ARR for FY 2016-17. Further it is submitted that the balance amount of true-up cost for FY 2006-07, 2007-08, 2008-09, 2009-10, 2010-11 and 2011-12 has not been included as the Hon’ble Commission has still not issued any order for balance true-up cost consequent to the judgement of Supreme Court/APTEL regarding true-up for aforementioned years. Further, the true-up cost for the year FY 2012-13 is still under consideration with the Hon’ble Commission. Therefore, this cost also has not been included in this petition. It is prayed that after issuing the relevant orders, the Hon’ble Commission may include these costs before issuing the final tariff order. 18. The salient features of the ARR for FY 2016-17 are as under:S.No. ARR Items East Central West TotalState 1 Total ARR (excluding True Up) Rs Crs 9,551 9,656 10,537 29,744 2 Revenue at current tariffs Rs Crs 8,071 8,121 9,114 25,306 3 Gap (excluding true-up) Rs Crs 1,480 1,534 1,423 4,438 4 Average Cost of Supply (excluding true-up) Rs/kWh 6.07 6.42 5.92 6.13 Impact of True-Up Amounts of Past Years A Impact of True Up for Discoms for FY 2005-06 Rs Crs 104 125 138 366 B Impact of True Up for MPGenco for FY 2012-13 Rs Crs -34 -32 -38 -104 C Impact of True-Up for MPTransco for FY 2013-14 Rs Crs 91 87 103 281 5 Total ARR (Including True Up) Rs Crs 9,713 9,835 10,740 30,288 6 Total Revenue Gap (including True-up) Rs Crs 1,642 1,714 1,626 4,982 7 Average Cost of Supply (including true-up) Rs/kWh 6.17 6.54 6.04 6.24 19. However, despite the various measures taken to improve commercial and technical efficiencies, Discoms are unable to recover the costs incurred, which are compelling the Discoms to propose for an increase in the existing tariff. 20. The petitioners would like to reiterate their proposal to alter the mechanism for deriving Fuel Cost Adjustment (FCA) for recovery/adjustment of uncontrollable costs due to increase or decrease in the cost of fuel in case of coal, oil and gas based generating stations. The petitioners would like to resubmit that the existing mechanism to calculate FCA does not have any provision to recover the incremental power purchase. The petitioners also urge that the average power purchase cost should 6 ARR for MYT FY 2016-17 to FY 2018-19 and Tariff Petition for FY 2016-17 be considered in the formula instead of only variable costs, thus passing on the complete fixed costs on to the consumers as a legitimate cost. 21.

Singh, Executive Director (Commercial) of MPPoKVVCL; Shri Pavan Kumar Jain, ASE (Commercial) of MPPaKVVCL and Shri A.R. Verma, General Manager & Superintending Engineer (Commercial) of MPMKVVCL have been authorized to execute and file all the documents on behalf of the respective petitioners in this regard. Accordingly, the current filing is signed and verified by, and backed by the affidavit of respective authorized signatories. 7 ARR for MYT FY 2016-17 to FY 2018-19 and Tariff Petition for FY 2016-17 PRAYER In view of the aforesaid facts and circumstances, the Applicants request that the Hon'ble Commission may be pleased to: (a) Take the accompanying ARR/Tariff petition of the above petitioners on record and treat it as complete; (b) Consider and approve petitioners’ ARR (including true-up amounts of all companies previous years) amounting to Rs. 9,713 Cr for East Discom, Rs. 9,835 Cr for Central Discom and Rs. 10,740 Cr for West Discom for the year FY 2016-17; (c) Considering the aforesaid facts and circumstances the Hon’ble Commission may be pleased to allow expenses of MPPMCL as stated to be allowed and include them as a part of power purchase cost of three Discoms, to meet the ends of justice; (d) Consider and approve Petitioners’ tariff proposal for FY 2016-17 to recover the costs for the ensuing year; (e) Consider and determine the wheeling charges, voltage level and consumer category wise cross subsidy surcharge, additional surcharge and transmission charges for open access customers on the basis of ARR petition for FY 2016-17 and make applicable w.e.f the application date of the revised tariff; (f) Condone any inadvertent omissions/ errors/ shortcomings and permit the petitioners to add/ change/ modify/ alter portion(s) of this filing and make further submissions as may be required at a later stage; and (g) Pass such an order as the Hon'ble Commission deems fit and proper as per the facts and circumstances of the case.

Estimation of sales 1.1 Method adopted for Estimation of Sales For the purpose of projection of sales, the distribution licensees have considered category wise and slab wise actual data of the sale of electricity, number of consumers, connected / contracted load, etc. of the preceding four years i.e. FY 2011-12, FY 2012-13, FY 2013-14 and FY 2014-15 and available data of the FY 2015-16 i.e. up to the month of September 2015. The licensees, in the previous year’s filing for FY 2015-16, had projected the Sales based on the actual data of FY 2013-14. Since the actual data of FY 2014-15 is now available and it has been observed that the actual sales during FY 2014-15 have deviated significantly from the sales forecasted by the Licensee and those allowed by the Hon’ble Commission during the previous filings, the licensees feel that it will be appropriate to revise the sales forecast for FY 2015-16 and thereafter project the sales for FY 2016-17. The sales for FY 2016-17 have been projected on the basis of the actual data of Number of Consumers, Connected Load and Consumption during the last 4 years and on the basis of revised estimate for FY 2015-16. The approach being followed is to analyze 3 year and 2 year Compound Annual Growth Rates (CAGRs) and year on year growth rate of each category and its sub-categories in respect of urban & rural consumers separately. After analysis of the data, appropriate / reasonable growth rates have been assumed for future consumer forecasts from the past CAGRs of the Category/Sub-category by the three Discoms. The past CAGR on sales per consumer / sales per kW and connected load has been applied while forecasting the connected load and sales in each category/sub-category. The use of specific consumption i.e. consumption per consumer and / or consumption per unit load is the basic forecasting variable and is widely used in load and energy sales forecasting. The basic intent in using this model is that, the specific consumption per consumer and / or consumption per unit load captures the trends and variations in the usage of electricity over a growth cycle more precisely. This method has been recommended by the C.E.A. also. The forecast also considers the impact of schemes / plans of licensee such as the RGGVY (Rajiv Gandhi Grameen Vidyutikaran Yojana and separation of feeders of Agricultural and other categories of consumers and increase in supply hours in rural areas. The projections for each tariff category and the relevant assumptions of the three Discoms have been discussed in the following sections. The overall sales forecast is as follows: 16 ARR for MYT FY 2016-17 to FY 2018-19 and Tariff Petition for FY 2016-17 Table 1: Sales for FY 2015-16 (Revised Estimates) and the MYT Period FY 2017 to FY 2019 TC LV 1 LV 2 LV 3.1 LV 4 LV 5.1 LV 5.3 Category FY 16 3,695 756 530 327 4,665 12 9,985 614 485 2,529 225 7 67 10 84 Domestic Non-Domestic WW & Street Light LT Industrial Agriculture Irrigation Pumps Agriculture related Use Total (LT) HV 1 Railway Traction HV 2 Coal Mines HV 3.1 Industrial HV 3.2 Non-Industrial HV 3.3 Shopping Mall HV 3.4 Power Intensive industries HV 4 Seasonal HV 5.1 Public Water Works and Irrigation HV 5.2 Other Agricultural 14 HV 6 Bulk Residential Users 291 HV 7 RECS/Start-up Power 0 Total (HT) 4,326 TOTAL LT+HT 14,311 * Digits rounded off to the nearest integer East Discom FY 17 FY 18 4,294 5,106 848 952 596 672 363 406 4,877 5,106 15 19 10,993 12,262 672 736 504 525 2,826 3,163 242 260 7 8 74 81 11 12 92 100 FY 19 6,157 1,070 759 459 5,347 24 13,816 807 547 3,543 279 9 90 13 109 FY 16 3,512 784 343 271 4,377 29 9,317 1,039 35 2,140 405 0 0 2 155 Central Discom FY 17 FY 18 4,039 4,557 901 1,040 407 490 301 334 4,940 5,632 35 42 10,623 12,096 1,195 1,375 35 35 2,387 2,675 439 476 0 0 0 0 2 2 163 171 FY 19 5,275 1,202 601 372 6,499 51 13,999 1,581 35 3,010 517 0 0 3 180 FY 16 3,559 845 364 550 7,119 2 12,439 434 0 2,474 375 42 204 5 387 West Discom FY 17 FY 18 3,858 4,241 911 983 401 442 584 620 8,079 8,858 2 2 13,835 15,146 434 434 0 0 2,474 2,474 375 375 42 42 204 204 5 6 387 387 FY 19 4,634 1,060 487 659 9,727 2 16,570 434 0 2,474 375 42 204 6 387 FY 16 10,767 2,386 1,238 1,147 16,161 43 31,741 2,087 520 6,961 986 67 454 17 626 MP State FY 17 FY 18 12,192 13,904 2,660 2,975 1,404 1,604 1,247 1,360 17,896 19,597 52 63 35,451 39,503 2,301 2,545 539 560 7,494 8,107 1,036 1,089 69 71 471 490 18 20 642 659 FY 19 16,067 3,332 1,847 1,490 21,572 77 44,385 2,821 582 8,810 1,147 74 512 21 677 16 292 0 4,736 15,730 21 295 0 5,713 19,529 7 163 0 3,947 13,264 7 177 0 4,406 15,029 9 209 0 5,543 19,542 6 31 1 3,959 16,397 6 31 1 3,959 17,793 6 31 1 3,959 20,529 27 485 1 12,231 43,972 30 500 1 13,101 48,552 36 534 1 15,215 59,600 18 293 0 5,196 17,458 8 192 0 4,935 17,030 6 31 1 3,959 19,105 33 516 1 14,090 53,593 17 ARR for MYT FY 2016-17 to FY 2018-19 and Tariff Petition for FY 2016-17 1.2 Category-wise sales projection 1.2.1. LV -1: Domestic 1.2.1.1. Assumptions for Projecting Unmetered Domestic Sales In the tariff order for FY 2014-15, Hon’ble Commission had revised the benchmark of billing to unmetered domestic connections in rural areas to 75 units per month per connection and had continued the same for FY 2015-16 and ensuing years also. Therefore, the petitioners have considered the same for projecting consumption of unmetered domestic connections. The projections of consumption of un-metered domestic connections in this petition have been considered as NIL for urban areas (since all domestic consumers in urban areas have been metered). 1.2.1.2. RGGVY In addition to the growth rate assumed for domestic category, the impact of implementation of RGGVY has also been taken into account for future consumer/load/consumption projections for Central Discom. The implementation roadmap of RGGVY forms the basis of future projections by the Central Discom. While no consumers and consumption has been estimated for East and West Discoms separately for RGGVY. However, the same has not been projected separately, but has been included in the overall projection for Domestic category. For Central Discom 1.2 lakh consumers and corresponding sales of 12.51 MUs for FY 2016-17 have been projected. After factoring the growth in consumers the following projections has been arrived at for LV-1 category: 18 ARR for MYT FY 2016-17 to FY 2018-19 and Tariff Petition for FY 2016-17 Table 2: LV-1

MPPTCL Losses For computation of Intra-State Transmission Losses (MPPTCL Losses), the actual data has been taken from the MP-SLDC online portal for the period November 2014 to October 2015 (52 weeks) and the average of the same has been considered for the ensuing years. The computed average MPPTCL losses work out to be 2.88 % and the same has been assumed to be constant for the MYT period FY 2016-17 to FY 2018-19.

Distribution Losses The Commission in its Regulations on “Terms and conditions for determination of tariff for supply and wheeling of electricity and methods and principles of fixation of charges” communicated to MPPMCL vide Commission’s Regulation no. 2256 – MPERC.2015 dated 17/12/2015 has notified distribution loss levels for the MYT period FY 2016-17 to FY 2017-18. The distribution loss level trajectory as specified in the Regulations is given in the table below: Table 18: Loss level targets (%) for Discoms (as per MPERC regulations) Loss Targets East Discom West Discom Central Discom FY 17 18.00% 16.00% 19.00% FY 18 17.00% 15.50% 18.00% FY 19 16.00% 15.00% 17.00% The actual losses of the Discoms are observed at 22.40% for East Discom, 23.31% for Central Discom and 21.17% for West Discom. However for the purpose of this petition the loss targets specified by the Commission in its Regulations on “Terms and conditions for determination of tariff for supply and wheeling of electricity and methods and principles of fixation of charges” have been considered for the calculation of Energy Balance and calculation of power purchase costs of the Discoms. 2.3.1. Conversion of annual Distribution loss levels to monthly losses The annual distribution loss trajectory is converted into monthly loss trajectory based on the standard deviations of monthly losses from the cumulative annual losses during the past 5 years. In this method, the actual monthly loss levels and the cumulative annual losses of the Discom for the past years are taken and standard deviation of loss levels of each month from the cumulative annual average is calculated. The monthly standard deviations are then used to calculate the monthly loss levels using the annual MPERC loss level trajectory. As a result, the annual energy requirement at the Discom boundary is grossed up by a higher loss figure than observed as per the MPERC loss trajectory. The energy requirement is computed for all three Discoms and MP state at the state boundary as shown in tables below: 58 ARR for MYT FY 2016-17 to FY 2018-19 and Tariff Petition for FY 2016-17 Table 19: Monthly energy requirement at State Boundary (MU) for FY 17- FY 19 Monthly energy requirement at State Boundary -

The highest share of power purchase cost is being allocated to West Discom due to which the Aggregate Revenue Requirement (ARR) of West Discom increases substantially. 66 ARR for MYT FY 2016-17 to FY 2018-19 and Tariff Petition for FY 2016-17 In order to remove the complexities with respect to allocation of plants among the Discoms and to MPPMCL, the Petitioners have considered all the plants allocated to Discoms as allocated to MPPMCL. This reduces preparation of separate MoD for the three Discoms as well for MPPMCL. Further, this shall also remove the issues with respect to deviation settlement mechanism among the three Discoms at Intrastate level. Hence, in order to maintain equitable allocation of the power purchased cost among all the three Discoms, it is requested to the Commission to reallocate all of the power stations allocated to Discoms to MPPMCL. In addition, the Petitioners are also pursuing with the Government of Madhya Pradesh to reallocate all the plants to MPPMCL. For allocation of the overall availability and costs to the Discoms, the Petitioners have considered the monthly energy requirement of the three Discoms at the state boundary level for the period FY 17-FY 19 as provided in the table below: Table 22: Allocation percentage for FY 17 FY 17 Apr-16 May-16 Jun-16 Jul-16 Aug-16 Sep-16 Oct-16 Nov-16 Dec-16 Jan-17 Feb-17 Mar-17 Total East 1,626 1,612 1,321 1,350 1,497 1,708 1,998 1,903 1,739 1,771 1,728 1,529 19,782 Central 1,536 1,521 1,321 1,309 1,432 1,635 1,940 1,839 1,629 1,745 1,712 1,508 19,127 West 1,789 1,891 1,546 1,383 1,440 1,693 2,359 2,251 1,983 2,108 1,926 1,663 22,032 4,951 5,024 4,188 4,041 4,369 5,036 6,297 5,993 5,351 5,624 5,365 4,700 60,939 East 32.84% 32.09% 31.55% 33.40% 34.27% 33.92% 31.73% 31.76% 32.50% 31.48% 32.21% 32.54% 32.52% Central 31.03% 30.28% 31.53% 32.39% 32.78% 32.46% 30.82% 30.68% 30.44% 31.02% 31.90% 32.08% 31.45% West 36.13% 37.63% 36.92% 34.22% 32.95% 33.62% 37.46% 37.56% 37.06% 37.49% 35.89% 35.38% 36.03% Table 23: Allocation percentage for FY 18 FY 18 Apr-17 May-17 Jun-17 Jul-17 Aug-17 Sep-17 Oct-17 Nov-17 Dec-17 Jan-18 Feb-18 Mar-18 Total East 1,782 1,768 1,657 1,692 1,751 1,763 1,971 1,977 2,018 1,942 1,685 1,678 21,684 Central 1,909 2,017 1,886 1,688 1,640 1,702 2,265 2,275 2,240 2,249 1,827 1,776 23,474 West 1,719 1,703 1,689 1,675 1,710 1,722 1,954 1,949 1,930 1,953 1,703 1,688 21,395 5,410 5,487 5,232 5,054 5,101 5,186 6,190 6,201 6,189 6,144 5,215 5,141 66,550 East 32.93% 32.21% 31.66% 33.47% 34.33% 33.99% 31.84% 31.88% 32.61% 31.60% 32.31% 32.63% 32.62% Central 35.28% 36.76% 36.05% 33.39% 32.15% 32.81% 36.58% 36.68% 36.20% 36.61% 35.03% 34.54% 35.17% 67 ARR for MYT FY 2016-17 to FY 2018-19 and Tariff Petition for FY 2016-17 West 31.78% 31.03% 32.29% 33.14% 33.52% 33.20% 31.57% 31.44% 31.19% 31.78% 32.66% 32.83% 32.20% Table 24: Allocation percentage for FY 19 FY 19 Apr-18 May-18 Jun-18 Jul-18 Aug-18 Sep-18 Oct-18 Nov-18 Dec-18 Jan-19 Feb-19 Mar-19 Total East 1,969 1,953 1,832 1,871 1,935 1,948 2,179 2,184 2,230 2,146 1,863 1,855 23,965 Central 2,039 2,154 2,015 1,804 1,753 1,819 2,418 2,429 2,392 2,402 1,952 1,897 25,074 West 1,949 1,930 1,916 1,899 1,938 1,952 2,215 2,210 2,188 2,213 1,931 1,914 24,255 5,957 6,037 5,762 5,573 5,627 5,719 6,812 6,823 6,810 6,761 5,746 5,666 73,293 East 33.05% 32.35% 31.80% 33.56% 34.40% 34.06% 31.98% 32.02% 32.74% 31.74% 32.42% 32.74% 32.74% Central 34.23% 35.67% 34.96% 32.36% 31.16% 31.80% 35.50% 35.60% 35.12% 35.52% 33.97% 33.48% 34.11% West 32.72% 31.98% 33.24% 34.07% 34.45% 34.13% 32.52% 32.39% 32.13% 32.73% 33.61% 33.78% 33.15% 3.2.1 Availability from MP Discoms’ allocated stations The basis of projections for all the stations i.e. the Discom allocated stations as well as MPPMCL allocated stations for MYT period FY 17- FY 19 are mentioned in the following table: Station MPPGCL -

Overall availability The overall availability for MP State (from stations allocated to Discoms as well as stations allocated to MPPMCL) for FY 17-FY 19 is summarized in the below table: Table 28: Overall availability till FY’19 (MU) Category Availability from Stations allocated to MP Discoms Availability from Stations allocated to MPPMCL Total FY 15 FY 16 FY 17 FY 18 FY 19 35,936 38,541 39,164 38,028 38,497 21,119 25,103 38,442 42,909 49,429 57,055 63,644 77,606 80,937 87,926 3.4. Backdown of Power The Petitioners have requested Ministry of Power for surrender of power in respect of stations mentioned below: Station Name NTPC Mouda Stage I(Unit 1 &Unit 2) ATPS Chachai-Ph 1 & 2 NTPC Kawas NTPC Gandhar Basis for Surrender of Power Owing to high variable costs of the station and reduced scheduling of the station, GoMP vide letter no. F3/58/2012/13 dtd 10.09.2015 have requested Ministry of Power to deallocate MP’s share in the power station MPPGCL vide UO Note no 775 dtd 16.09.2015 have intimated that no power would be scheduled from this station Owing to reduced drawal of the stations , MPPMCL has requested NTPC Limited vide letter no 05-01/1620 dtd 08.09.2015 to terminate the PPA . However, the Petitioners for the purpose of calculation has considered partially backing down the above stations except for NTPC Mouda STPS Stage 1 (Unit 1 & Unit 2), as during the actual scheduling of the power stations, NTPC Mouda STPS Stage 1 (Unit 1 & Unit 2) with a variable cost of Rs 4.36 per unit is never scheduled during the whole year. Similarly, Sugen Torrent with a variable cost of Rs 6.65 per unit is never scheduled during the whole year. Hence the Petitioners have not considered the availability as well as the fixed and variable costs of such stations for the purpose of computation of Power Purchase Cost. After fully meeting the requirement of the State and selling power on the power exchange, the Petitioners still have to partially back-down plants so as to save on the variable costs being incurred. 73 ARR for MYT FY 2016-17 to FY 2018-19 and Tariff Petition for FY 2016-17 The Petitioners have applied month-wise merit order dispatch principle on the basis of variable costs for FY 2016-17 and thereafter, after considering both Discom allocated generating stations as well as MPPMCL allocated generating stations. The Petitioners have also considered partial backing down of units/stations which are higher up in the MoD, during those periods when their running is not required to meet the demand in that period and the market rates do not justify their running either. This addresses demand fluctuations and ensures that power procured from cheaper sources is fully utilized and avoids procurement of power from costlier sources. The resultant benefit of reduced power procurement cost or sale at a higher rate, whichever the case maybe, is in turn being passed on to the consumers. The following table shows the stations which are considered for partial backdown: Stations FY 17 1,262 3,162 1,808 2,023 SGTPS - Bir'pur - Extn SGTPS - Bir'pur - PH 1 & 2 MPPGCL - Shri Singaji STPS Phase -1 Unit 1 MPPGCL - Shri Singaji STPS Phase -1 Unit 2 Backdown of Stations FY 18 478 1,432 1,568 2,058 FY 19 504 1,203 1,249 1,495 Jaypee Bina Power Unit 1 Jaypee Bina Power Unit 2 Jhabua Power NTPC-Kawas MPPGCL - Shri Singaji STPS Phase -2 Unit 1 MPPGCL - Shri Singaji STPS Phase -2 Unit 2 967 996 1,266 126 765 978 1,133 - - - 912 961 905 743 326 Total 11,611 8412 8297 The following table shows the overall station wise availability of Discom allocated stations and MPPMCL allocated stations after application of merit order dispatch and backdown for the period FY 2017 to FY 2019: Category FY 17 FY 18 FY 19 Availability from Stations allocated to MP Discoms 34,613 36,117 36,790 Availability from Stations allocated to MPPMCL 31,383 36,408 42,839 Total 65,995 72,524 79,628 3.5. Inter-State Transmission Losses The Inter-State transmission losses have been computed separately for Eastern Region and Western Region stations. For the Western Region, data for past 52 weeks (3-Nov-14 to 9-Nov-15) as available on the POSOCO/ NLDC website has been taken and an average loss level of 3.77% has been considered for FY 2015-16 and for MYT period FY 2016-17-FY 2018-19. Similarly, for Eastern Region, average transmission line loss of 2.09% has been considered for FY 2015-16 and MYT period FY 2016-17 to FY 2018-19 74 ARR for MYT FY 2016-17 to FY 2018-19 and Tariff Petition for FY 2016-17 3.6. Management of Surplus Energy As per the power supply position, the state is expected to have surplus energy in most of the months in the ensuing year. Currently MPPMCL disposes the surplus power through power exchange (IEX) at the prevailing rates. MPPMCL tries to sell such surplus power at a cost which is determined by the market conditions prevailing at that time. The IEX rate for the past three years is observed to be at Rs 2.55 per unit for FY 2012-13, Rs 2.38 per unit for FY 2013-14 and Rs 2.49 per unit for FY 2014-15 and average IEX rate comes out to Rs 2.47 per unit. For the purpose of computation of revenue from surplus energy, the IEX rate is taken at Rs 2.50 per unit. The energy surplus of the Discoms vis-à-vis overall energy availability and energy requirement as well as the details of revenue from sale of energy are shown in the table below. This revenue has been subtracted from the variable power purchase costs of MPPMCL allocated stations, while computing the total power purchase costs of the Discoms.

Power Purchase Cost 4.1. Details of Costs for Stations allocated to MP Discoms The fixed and variable costs of all stations have been considered as per the following methodology: Discom allocated stations and a few MPPMCL allocated stations have been taken as per the last 12 months bills i.e. from Nov 14 to Oct 15. The Commission in clause no 1.24 of its Aggregate Revenue Requirement and retail supply tariff order for FY 2015-16 has mentioned: “The petitioners have requested vide letter dated 19th Mar 2015 for recovery of FCA with effect from 1.4.2015 on the basis of variation in the variable rates of thermal generating stations for the period from November, 2014 to January, 2015. While working out variable charges in this tariff order, the Commission has considered the energy rates based on information filed by the petitioners for the period Feb., 2014 to January, 2015. Therefore, the recovery of the FCA separately with effect from 1.4.2015 is not required.” The Petitioners, for the purpose of computation of power purchase costs has considered actual station wise costs for the period Nov 14 to Oct 15 and requests the Hon’ble Commission to consider the same and allow the FCA for the period April’16-June’16.

Estimation of Other Power Purchase Costs 4.4.1.Inter-State Transmission Charges The Inter-State transmission charges to be paid by MP consist of charges to be paid for transmission system of WR and ER. The actual inter-state transmission charges for FY 2013-14 amounted to Rs 1,235 Cr and the actual interstate transmission charges for FY 2014-15 amounted to Rs 1419 Cr. This suggests an increase in inter-state transmission charges by 14.97% .However, only 2% has been considered for projecting the Interstate transmission charges for FY 17 –FY 19. Thus, the estimated Interstate transmission charges for FY 2016-17 –FY 2018-19 amounts to Rs 1,477 Cr, Rs 1,506 Cr and Rs 1,536 Cr respectively. These costs have then been allocated to Discoms based on past trend of actual costs have been mentioned below: Table 37: Inter-State Transmission Charges Discom Inter-State Transmission Charges FY 17 FY 18 FY 19 East Discom 456 465 475 Central Discom 441 592 603 West Discom 580 449 458 1,477 1,506 1,536 Total 4.4.2.Intra-State Transmission Charges – MPPTCL fixed costs excluding Terminal Benefits (Cash Outflow) For the purpose of calculation of intra-state transmission costs, the various expense items of MPPTCL (other than terminal benefits liabilities) have been taken as approved by MPERC via MYT Tariff Order for MPPTCL dated 2nd April’13. The table below consists of two main components: 1. MPPTCL fixed costs as approved by MPERC in its order dated 2nd April’13 for FY 201516 2. SLDC charges as approved by MPERC via its order dated March 31, 2015 to the tune of Rs. 9.70 Crores have been considered for FY’16. For FY’17, the annual SLDC charges have been computed based on the transmission capacity of Discoms and the rate for Longterm Access Customers of Rs. 6674.96/ MW as approved by MPERC in the SLDC tariff order for FY 15. 88 ARR for MYT FY 2016-17 to FY 2018-19 and Tariff Petition for FY 2016-17 Table 38: Intra-state Costs – excluding Terminal Benefits Sr.No. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 A B Particulars O&M Expenses Depreciation Interest & Finance charges Interest on working capital Return on Equity MPERC Fees & Taxes Less Non- tariff income MPPTCL fixed cost approved by MPERC ( excluding terminal benefits) SLDC Charges Intra-State Transmission Charges allocated to Discoms ( excluding terminal benefits) FY15-16 (MPERC order) Rs Cr 390.09 297.16 92.92 52.69 305.57 1.27 -20.98 1,118.72 9.60 1,128.32 4.4.3.Intra-State Transmission Charges – Terminal Benefits (Cash Outflow) to be included in MPPTCL costs As per the provisions of the regulations, the liability towards pension and other Terminal Benefits of the Pensioners and Personnel of the Board and its Successor Entities shall comprise of cash outflow in each fiscal year for making payment to all the Pensioners including Existing Pensioners subject to the provision of Regulation 3 (8) As per the regulations, the aforementioned terminal benefits cash outflow has three parts: a. For employees who have retired up to 01.06.2005 for services rendered up to 01.06.2005 b. For employees who will retire after 01.06.2005 for services rendered up to 01.06.2005 c. For employees who will retire after 01.06.2005 for services rendered after 01.06.2005 In the Retail Supply Tariff order for FY 2015-16, Hon’ble Commission under 3.86 stated as below: “The Commission has allowed the terminal benefits and pension expenses for the FY 2015-16 on provisional basis on ‘pay as you go’ principle payable to MP Transco to the extent of Rs.677 Crore.” The Commission in the order dated August 12, 2015 vide order no-26/2015 has allowed terminal benefits for FY 15-16 at Rs 1185.97 Cr. Hence the Intra-State Transmission charges come out to Rs. 2,315 cr. For projecting the Intra State Transmission charges for the period FY 2016-17-FY 2018-19 a growth rate of 7% has been considered. The following table shows the detail of total Intra-state Transmission Costs including the Terminal Benefits (Cash Outflow) and its allocation amongst Discoms based on the past trend: 89 ARR for MYT FY 2016-17 to FY 2018-19 and Tariff Petition for FY 2016-17 Table 39: Total Intra-State Transmission Costs and Allocation to Discoms (Rs Cr) Sr.No. Particulars Total Intra-State Transmission Charges (including Terminal Benefits) Allocation to Discoms East Discom West Discom Central Discom FY 17 2,476 FY 18 2,649 FY 19 2,835 740 957 779 792 1,024 834 847 1,095 892 Any difference over and above the claimed amount towards Terminal Benefits is proposed to be filed as true-up petitions for the respective years. 4.4.4.MPPMCL Costs The details of the MPPMCL expenses that have been allocated to Discoms for the MYT years are related to the various roles, responsibilities and administrative functions of MPPMCL and have been detailed in the Chapter 8.

O&M Expenses - Discoms The O&M expenses based on the provisions of the regulation are as below:- 5.1. Employee Costs As per the provision of the regulations, employee costs have been calculated as below:Table 42: Employee Cost Particular Employees Expenses excluding arrears, DA, Terminal Benefits and incentives Arrears DA Leave encashment NPS/GTIS/EPF/PF and Others Incentives Total East Discom FY '17 FY '18 FY '19 Central Discom West Discom FY '17 FY '18 FY '19 FY '17 FY '18 FY '19 385 396 408 359 370 381 403 415 428 0 504 19 18 0 927 0 566 21 20 0 1,003 0 632 23 21 0 1,085 23 470 10 10 10 883 25 529 11 11 11 957 27 591 12 12 12 1,035 0 528 13 6 1 950 0 593 13 6 1 1,029 0 663 14 7 1 1,113 Major assumptions considered for calculation of Employee Costs for three Discoms are: a. For the calculation of the DA, basic pay has been taken at the same level as notified in the MPERC regulations. For computation of Dearness allowance, a 6% increase has been considered for every six months for all three Discoms (every year in January and July). Based on this, the DA as a percentage of Basic Salary (approved by MPERC) is shown in the table below: DA as percentage of Basic for first quarter - Apr to June DA as percentage of Basic for 2nd and 3rd quarter - July to Dec DA as percentage of Basic for 4th quarter - Jan to March FY '17 125% 131% 137% FY '18 137% 143% 149% FY '19 149% 155% 161% b. Incentive/ Bonus to be paid to the employees have been considered as per the previous trend in the Audited Accounts. c. Leave Encashment and PF/CFA/GTIS/NPS: It is pertinent to mention that MPPTCL is providing fund to Discoms, only to meet out Terminal Benefits liability of Gratuity, Pension and Commutation of pension. Other than these components, Discoms make payment of Leave Encashment and PF/CFA/GTIS/NPS. Hence, expenses incurred on account of Leave Encashment and PF/CFA/GTIS/NPS have been claimed separately in addition to the terminal benefits costs claimed as part of Intra-State Transmission Charges in the total Power Purchase Costs of Discoms. d. The employee cost arising due to the eligibility of 3rd higher pay scale under assured career progression scheme cannot be ascertained at this stage. Hence expenditure on this account is not being considered in this petition. However, the same shall be accounted for in true-up petition. 93 ARR for MYT FY 2016-17 to FY 2018-19 and Tariff Petition for FY 2016-17 5.2.

As per the provision of the para 34.1 of the regulation, norms of A&G expenses notified in the regulation excludes Fees paid to the MPERC and Taxes payable to the government. b. In view of above, Fees paid to the MPERC and Taxes payable to the government are considered over & above the cost notified in the regulation. 5.3.

Investment Plan – Discoms 6.1.1. Capital Investment Plan The three Discoms are undertaking various projects in the coming years for system strengthening and reduction of distribution losses. The focus is on creation of new 33/11 kV S/s, bifurcation of overloaded 33 kV feeders, feeder bifurcation of agricultural feeder at 11 kV level, Addl. / Aug of PTRs, Installation of DTRs, conversion of bare LT line into AB Cables and replacement of service lines etc. The overall distribution loss of the system is the sum of technical and commercial losses. The technical losses are mainly due to poor infrastructure which needs strengthening, renovation and upgradation of the capacity of lines, sub-stations and associated infrastructures. The commercial losses are mainly due to pilferage of energy which can also be reduced to a large extent by re-engineering of the system which requires capital investment and directed efforts. Discoms are working on both the issues and the distribution losses have considerably come down but not up to the normative loss levels. Scheme wise Capital Expenditure Plan of Discoms for FY’16 to FY’19 is given in table below: Table 46: Capital expenditure Plan (Rs.

Interest on Working Capital The interest on working capital has been calculated on the basis of provisions of the Regulation and shown in the table given below. Hon’ble Commission while calculating working capital requirement deducts the amount of closing balance of consumer security deposit from the gross requirement of working capital resulting which the net working capital requirement for the Discoms is coming as negative. The Commission while considering the negative working capital requirement has not allowed any amount towards interest on working capital. Further it is prayed to the commission that consumer security deposit received during the year can only be used as one of the component to calculate working capital, therefore it is prayed to the commission to consider the consumer security deposit received during the year only for the purpose of computing working capital requirement.

Bad and Doubtful Debts It is submitted that the Commission as per its Tariff Regulations has allowed bad and doubtful debts to the extent of 1% of revenue from sale of power. The same provisions have been provided in the previous year’s MYT regulations also. However, the Commission may observe that the Discoms have actually been writing off bad debts of amount more than the prescribed 1% of revenue. Based on the actual bad debts written off during the past years, the Discoms have projected the following as bad and doubtful debts that may arise during the ensuing years.

Income/Expenses of MPPMCL As per item No.8 (ii) of State Govt. Notification No.2260-F-3-24-2009-XIII dt. 19/03/2013, M.P. Power Management Company Limited has been supplying power to the Discoms at the tariff determined/approved by MPERC and its own expenses are being distributed on actual basis in proportion to the energy drawn by respective Discoms. MPPMCL has been operating on “No Profit and No Loss” basis. Therefore, till now at the end of each financial year, all the credits received by MPPMCL which formed the part of income of MPPMCL (shown as “other income” in Form S-1) were being passed on to the Discoms in proportion to the energy drawl by respective Discoms as a part of their Power Purchase Costs. The major components of Annual Revenue Requirement of MPPMCL are detailed in this section. 8.1 Income 8.1.1 Revenue from operations (including Revenue Subsidy) The revenue from sale of electricity is taken by Discoms in their ARR therefore it is not taken in the ARR of M.P. Power Management Company Ltd. 8.1.2 Other Income For FY 2014-15 other income is Rs 360.36 Crs of MPPMCL .The major components which form part of other income are mainly the rebate received from the long term power suppliers against timely payment made and credit on account of short term open access received from PGCIL. The details of other income of MPPMCL received in FY 14-15 are as follows: Table 57: Other Income (Rs. Cr.) Particulars Amount (in Crs) i) Credit on A/c of open access share from long term transmission service providers (PGCIL) 162.16 ii) rebate received on a/c of timely/prompt payments 173.71 iii) Generation based incentive 7.31 iv) Interest received (Includes interest on commitment advances) 2.72 v) Common Expense recoverable v) Other Income TOTAL 14.34 0.12 360.36 The other income for FY 15-16 and onwards is worked out by increasing the income of FY 2014-15 by 10%. 107 ARR for MYT FY 2016-17 to FY 2018-19 and Tariff Petition for FY 2016-17 8.2 Expenses In the Discom-wise ARR, the Discoms have considered power purchase cost station-wise and their own O&M Expenses, Depreciation, Interest Charges etc. as per the provisions of MPERC regulations. However, there are certain costs pertaining to power purchase (as detailed below) which could not be considered by the Discoms being not in their control/action. Such costs are therefore included in the power purchase costs of Discoms as MPPMCL specific costs and are taken into consideration in the ARR of MPPMCL, the details of which are given hereunder:- 8.2.1 Energy Purchase For FY 2013-14 it includes: a. b. c. d. Bills of power purchase of Rs. 41.43 Crs. Liability for banking of energy of Rs (39.10) Crs. Share of credit due to deviation in the bill of PGCIL of Rs. (3.68) Crs. Purchase from others of Rs. 2.17 Crs. (a) Bills of Power Purchase: FY 2014-15 includes bills of generators listed above, which could not be passed to Discoms through monthly bills. From FY 2015-16 onwards all the bills are likely to be passed through the monthly bills to the Discoms, hence will be considered in ARR of Discoms. (b) Liability for banking: Beginning from the year 2007-08, MPPMCL has started the practice of exchange/banking of energy with third parties outside the State of Madhya Pradesh whereby during availability of surplus power in the state, energy is supplied to the parties facing shortage of power and in case of power deficit in the sate the banked energy is taken by the Company. The Banking and Exchange transactions do not involve any payment or receipts in terms of money for the power transacted except the charges related to open access and trading margin payable to the party through which such transaction is facilitated. (c) Liability for Banking of energy of Rs. (39.10) Crs: The Company has a liability to return 743.5 MU of banked energy, received during 2014-15, which translates into a financial liability of about Rs.256.08 Cr considering cost per unit of Rs. 3.44 i.e. the average power purchase rate for 2014-15 calculated on the basis of total power purchase cost except banking for FY 2014-15. During FY 2014-15, the Company had returned 885.13 MU of banked power received in 2013-14. This was translated in to a financial liability of Rs.296.94 Cr @ Rs 3.35 per unit which was the average cost of power purchase for the year 2013-14. Therefore, a net banking liability of Rs. (39.10) Crs. is booked in FY 2014-15.For FY 14-15, the liability for banking of energy is calculated as follows: 108 ARR for MYT FY 2016-17 to FY 2018-19 and Tariff Petition for FY 2016-17 Table 58: Other Income (Rs. Cr.) Particulars MUs to be returned at the end of FY 2014-15 = 743.50 MUs to be returned at the end of FY 2015-16 (decreasing the units of FY 2014-15 by 10%) = 669.15 Average purchase cost for F.Y. 14-15 = 3.44 Average purchase cost for F.Y. 15-16 (Increasing the rate of FY 2014-15 by 10%) = 3.78 Total amount of Banking Liability for FY 15-16 (Rs. Cr) 253.21 Credit for 743.5 MUs billed to Discoms in 2014-15 @ 3.44 Rs/unit 256.08 Net liability to be passed to Discoms for FY 15-16 -2.87 For FY 16-17 (Decreasing cost for FY 15-16 by 10%) -2.59 For FY 17-18 (Decreasing cost for FY 16-17 by 10%) -2.33 (d) Interstate Transmission charges It includes open access charges for short term of Rs. 0.31 Crs. and open access charges for banking of power of Rs. 40.53 Crs. The transmission charges for FY 2015-16 and onwards are taken by increasing the expenses of FY 2014-15 by 7.93% p.a. (e) Bills of PGCIL Transmission charges In FY 2014-15, PCGIL passed the credit due to deviation in transmission charges of Rs. (3.68) Crs. on MPPMCL. From FY 2015-16 onwards all such credits are likely to be passed through the monthly bills to the Discoms, hence will be considered in ARR of Discoms. 8.2.2. Power procurement cost: Apart from the direct bill of power purchase as per REA/SEA and other heads under energy purchase, some other expenses like open access charges etc on banking and short term power purchase & sale have been included under this head. The demand supply gap on day to day basis is managed through short term power procurement and in case of surplus energy, the same is disposed off. Therefore, short term sale of power and short term purchase of power are important activities undertaken to meet the power demand of the State. Similarly, MPPMCL makes arrangements for energy banking with various utilities throughout the year to meet the uneven demand of power in the State during monsoon season and rabi period. Energy banking is a barter system, wherein units of energy are exchanged without any financial transaction between the partners in banking arrangement, although some operational expenses like trading margin, open access charges, RLDC/SLDC permission charges etc. are incurred. The charges towards "banking of energy" reflect the notional cost of the net liability of energy to be returned in the subsequent year and it is based on average power purchase cost of the financial year concerned. 109 ARR for MYT FY 2016-17 to FY 2018-19 and Tariff Petition for FY 2016-17 For all such short time arrangements for arranging power and disposing off power, the cost of "open access charges" has also to be paid up to the delivery point. All the above mentioned costs are included in the item 5 under the head "purchase of power from other sources and Inter State Transmission charges" in Form S-1 submitted herewith in respect of MPPMCL which contains relevant explanatory notes in respect of all the items shown therein. 8.2.3.

Terminal Benefits (Pension, Gratuity and Leave Encashment) Provision The Terminal Benefit of the employees have been calculated as per the provisions of “MPERC (Terms and Conditions for allowing pension and terminal benefits liabilities of personnel of Board and successor entities) regulations, 2012 (G-38 of 2012)” notified in the MP gazette notification dated 20th April 2012. In view of provisions of the MPERC (Terms and Conditions for allowing pension and terminal benefits liabilities of personnel of Board and successor entities) regulations, 2012, Discoms claim both provision as per the rate prescribed in actuary report & actual cash out flow on account of terminal benefits. According to actuarial valuation the liability as on 31st March 2009 for the three Discoms was determined. In addition to this liability, the Actuary valuation has prescribed the following percentage for the future contribution rate (as a % age of Basic Pay + Grade pay + DA) required to be made by the three Discoms for meeting the liabilities arising due to future service: Table 64: Future Contribution rate of liability on account of Actuary Assumption Pension Contribution rate Discount rate 21.73% East Discom Gratuity Leave Encashme nt 4.95% 0.77% 7.00% 7.00% Total 7.00% Pension 27.45% 20.15% 7.00% 7.00% Central Discom Gratuity Leave Encashme nt 4.56% 0.54% 7.00% 7.00% Total Pension 25.25% 20.28% 7.00% 7.00% West Discom Gratuity Leave Encashme nt 4.67% 0.59% 7.00% Total 25.54% 7.00% 7.00% According to the above prescribed methodology, liability for FY 2016-17 to FY 2018-19 has been worked out and this liability is pertaining to all the employees of licensee, eligible for such benefits.

An amount of Rs. 4,970 crores is expected to have got accumulated until FY2016. However, the Discoms have not been able to contribute the same towards the Trust as the Hon’ble Commission 117 ARR for MYT FY 2016-17 to FY 2018-19 and Tariff Petition for FY 2016-17 has not allowed any amount for the same. The table given below indicates the actual provisions that are to be made by the Discoms against this liability in the annual accounts of the company from FY 2009-10 till FY 2014-15 and projected for FY 2015-16 to FY 2018-19: Table 66: Terminal Benefits Provisions Liability for Discoms (Rs.

It is pertinent to mention that such terminal benefits liabilities provision has not been included in the computation of final Annual Revenue Requirement for Discoms. Instead, the terminal benefits (Cash Outflow), based on actual trends have been included as part of Intra-State Transmission Charges in the total Power Purchase Costs of Discoms. 118 ARR and Tariff Petition for FY 2016-17 11. Power Purchase Cost Adjustment (PPCA) 11.1. The Hon’ble Commission in Tariff Order for FY’16 has specified formula for deriving Fuel Cost Adjustment (“FCA”) for recovery/adjustment of un-controllable costs due to increase or decrease in the cost of fuel in case of coal, oil, and gas for generating plants only. The petitioners in their last year petition also submitted that the then existing PPCA calculation mechanism did not cover the recovery of incremental power purchase, which includes shortage in supply from identified power supply sources in the tariff order requiring distribution licensee to purchase power at higher price from the power market or other sources to meet the demand. 11.2. Distribution licensee has to meet the power demand of the consumers, as per the relevant provisions of the Electricity Act, 2003 under the obligation to supply. Therefore, quantum of power purchase may not be restricted on the basis of normative loss levels. Under any given operating conditions of the power system, the quantum of energy and the power demand are more or less uncontrollable variables. For the purpose of tariff determination, the average power purchase cost per unit based on the prudent cost may be considered. This means that the cost based on the average power purchase cost per unit on the quantum of power based on normative loss should be passed on to the consumer and any cost in excess of that shall be borne by the licensee. In any case, the full fixed cost element of the power purchase cost should also be passed on to the consumer as a legitimate cost. This methodology shall maintain proper balance between the interests of the consumers and the licensee, as it is based on overall averaging method, so that impact of all the factors over an annual cycle are covered and distributed equitably. 11.3. The Commission however on the analysis of the same has come out with the following formula 𝒑 𝑰𝑽𝑪 (𝑹𝒔. 𝒊𝒏 𝑪𝒓. )𝒙𝟏𝟎𝟎𝟎 𝑭𝑪𝑨 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒃𝒊𝒍𝒍𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒒𝒖𝒂𝒓𝒕𝒆𝒓 ( ) = 𝒖 𝑵𝒐𝒓𝒎𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒗𝒆 𝑺𝒂𝒍𝒆 (𝑴𝑼𝒔) Where, IVC = sum of – (a) difference in per unit variable cost actually billed by each long term coal or gas based power generator and variable cost as allowed in the Tariff Order, multiplied by (b) units availed from each such generating station in the preceding quarter. Variable costs of Hydel Generating Stations shall not be considered for the purpose of working out the increase in variable Cost of Power Purchase. Preceding Quarter = the period of preceding three months excluding the period of two months immediately preceding to the billing quarter, Billing Quarter = the period of three months for which FCA is to billed and shall be a period commencing on first day to last day of quarter for the quarter commencing from 1st April ending 30th June and so on 119 ARR and Tariff Petition for FY 2016-17 11.4. However the petitioners feel that the average power purchase cost should be considered instead of the variable costs only. Hence, the Distribution Licensee, in line with the above provision resubmits the following formula for computation of Power Purchase Cost Adjustment (PPCA) factor for Hon’ble Commission’s kind consideration: 𝑝 𝐴𝑃𝑃𝐶 (𝑅𝑠. 𝑖𝑛 𝐶𝑟. )𝑥1000 𝑃𝑃𝐶𝐴 𝑓𝑜𝑟 𝑏𝑖𝑙𝑙𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑞𝑢𝑎𝑟𝑡𝑒𝑟 ( ) = 𝑢 𝑁𝑜𝑟𝑚𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑣𝑒 𝑆𝑎𝑙𝑒 (𝑀𝑈𝑠) Wherein, “APPC” shall mean Average Power Purchase Cost which is sum of – (a) difference in per unit average cost actually billed by each power generator/sources and as allowed in the tariff order, multiplied by (b) units availed from each such generating station in the preceding quarter. “Preceding Quarter” means period of preceding three months excluding the period of two months immediately preceding to the billing quarter. “Billing quarter” means the period of three months for which PPCA is to be billed and shall be a period commencing on first day to last day of quarter for the quarter commencing from 1st April ending 30th June and so on. “Normative Sale” means the sale grossed down from the total actual ex-bus drawl from all sources (Generators + Other sources) during preceding quarter by the normative PGCIL, transmission and distribution losses for the months of the preceding quarter as provided in the tariff Order. 11.5. PPCA charge shall be in the form of paise per unit (kWh) rounded off to the nearest integer. For this purpose, fraction up to 0.5 shall be ignored and fraction higher than 0.5 shall be rounded off to the next higher integer. This charge shall be added to or deducted from, as the case may be, the energy charges as per the existing tariff for the energy billed to every consumer and shall be treated as part of energy charge. 11.6. The PPCA charge shall be uniformly applicable to all categories of consumers of the Distribution Companies in the State. The PPCA charge shall also be uniformly applicable to all categories of open access consumers for the quantum of such supply as is availed by them from the Distribution Companies. 11.7. The National Tariff Policy prescribes the following formula for determination of crosssubsidy surcharge for various categories of consumers. “8.5 Cross-subsidy surcharge and additional surcharge for open access Surcharge formula: S = T – [C (1+L/100) D] 120 ARR and Tariff Petition for FY 2016-17 Where, S is the surcharge T is the Tariff payable by the relevant category of consumers; C is the Weighted average cost of power purchase of top 5% at the margin excluding liquid fuel based generation and renewable power.” D is the Wheeling charge L is the system Losses for the applicable voltage level, expressed as a percentage Since on PPCA charge is a part of energy charge and uniformly applicable to all categories of consumers, therefore average tariff will change to the tune of applicable PPCA charge. Therefore it will be more appropriate to add per unit PPCA rate in the formula for determination of cross subsidy surcharge for various categories of consumers under the term “T”. 11.8. The M.P. Power Management Co. Ltd., Jabalpur is a holding company and has been authorized by the Distribution Companies to procure power on behalf of them for retail supply to consumers. The responsibility of working out the rate of PPCA every quarter shall rest with the M.P. Power management Co. Ltd., Jabalpur. 11.9. The M.P. Power management Co. Ltd., Jabalpur shall workout change in average cost of power purchase during the preceding quarter based on the bills received by them from the Generators. The information shall be prepared in the manner as decided by Commission in the Tariff Order for every month of the “preceding quarter” and summated thereafter for the quarter: 11.10. The M.P. Power management Co. Ltd., Jabalpur shall workout “normative sale”. For this purpose normative PGCIL, transmission and distribution loss (percentage /quantum) for the months of preceding quarter, as provided in the Tariff Orders, shall be subtracted from the total ex-bus power drawn during the preceding quarter to arrive at normative sale. 11.11. PPCA charge shall be worked out by the M.P. Power management Co. Ltd., Jabalpur based on the formula provided by the Commission. The Distribution Companies of the State shall be advised by them from time to time to incorporate the PPCA charge for billing purposes for the billing quarter. This exercise should be completed at least 15 days before the commencement of the billing quarter. The M.P. Power management Co. Ltd., Jabalpur shall simultaneously submit all relevant details of calculations along with supporting details to the Commission within 7 days of the completion of the exercise. 121 ARR and Tariff Petition for FY 2016-17 11.12. If the Commission finds after reviewing the details submitted by the M.P. Power management Co. Ltd. Jabalpur, any over or under recovery of PPCA charge, it may direct the M.P. Power management Co. Ltd., Jabalpur and the Distribution Companies of the State to make required changes in PPCA charge billing and any further adjustments in consumer bills that it may consider appropriate. 11.13. The Distribution Companies of the State shall commence billing of PPCA charge from the first day of the billing quarter. 11.14. Following illustration is given for the purpose of understanding: If the “billing quarter” is say “July to Sept”, then the “preceding quarter” shall mean the period “Feb to April” and the period of May and June months is allowed to collect the data/ details and finalization of PPCA charge. 11.15. The details of the normative losses for PGCIL System and MPPMCL System and normative distribution losses may be provided by the Commission in the Tariff Orders. 122 ARR and Tariff Petition for FY 2016-17 12. Tariff Proposal for FY 2016-17 It is submitted that there has not been any substantial tariff hike for the years FY14 and FY15 in the state of Madhya Pradesh which has severely affected the financial health of the Discoms. For FY16, the Hon’ble Commission had approved tariff hike of 9.83%. However the Discoms are finding it extremely difficult to sustain its operations at the present tariff levels because of intrinsic rise in expenditure due to inflationary pressures, and consistent rise in power and energy demands, an ambitious normative loss reduction trajectory and benchmarks set by the Hon’ble Commission, and obligations to be met under the policy objectives of the State and Central governments. Therefore, it is necessary for the licensee to seek an appropriate hike in the tariff, up to the level as proposed and detailed in this petition. An analysis of the tariff proposal will reveal that a small portion of the gap has been left uncovered by the petitioners through tariff hike. This uncovered gap is proposed to be bridged either through (1) sale of surplus power at a better rate (2) Efficiency improvements and cost reduction by the Discoms. It is submitted to the Hon’ble Commission that the Petitioners have proposed sale of surplus energy at the prevailing IEX rates. The current rates are reflective of the ongoing demand-supply scenario in the country, however, in case these rates improve during the ensuing years, the Petitioners would leverage the opportunity to increase their revenue from sale of surplus power by better rates and increased sale. Furthermore, the Petitioners are currently taking several initiatives to reduce their costs and bring efficiency into the system, thereby not burdening the consumers. The uncovered gap would challenge them to find innovative ways to reduce the same and thus have not considered it part of the present tariff proposal. This would also ensure that some onus is kept on the petitioner and not passing the entire burden on Consumers. In view of the above submission, the Petitioners are proposing a hike lesser than the existing revenue gap. It would just not be possible for the Discom to maintain its operational viability at the least, without an appropriate hike in the retail tariff sought through this petition. A summary of the proposed tariff hike and resultant additional revenue is given in the table below: Table 67: Summary of proposed tariff for FY 2016-17 Particulars A B C=A+B D E=C-D F G=F+D H=G-C Total ARR excluding True-Up Impact True-Up Impact Total ARR including True-Up Impact Revenue at Existing Tariffs Gap to be recovered Average Cost of Supply Proposed average tariff Additional Revenue from Proposed Tariffs Total Revenue at Proposed Tariff Remaining revenue Gap East Discom 9,551 161 9,713 8,071 1,642 6.17 5.88 1,182 9,253 (460) Central Discom 9,656 180 9,835 8,121 1,714 6.54 West Discom 10,537 203 10,740 9,114 1,626 6.04 Total MP State 29,744 544 30,288 25,306 4,982 6.24 6.17 1,159 9,280 (555) 5.94 1,451 10,564 (175) 5.99 3,791 29,097 (1,190) The Discoms request the Hon’ble Commission to consider and approve the said tariff proposal for FY 2016-17 to recover the costs for the ensuing year for the State as a whole. Even after the increased revenue of Discoms as per proposed tariff hike as well as the various operational efficiency measures being undertaken by Discoms and MPPMCL, any remaining gap is proposed to be recovered during annual true-up by the Discoms.

Salient Features of the Tariff Proposal The licensees have proposed increase in tariff rates along with certain changes in general terms and conditions of LT and HT tariff. The proposed schedule of the Retail Tariff for FY 2016-17 is enclosed with this petition. The salient features of the proposed changes are as elaborated below: 12.1.1. Merging of tariff slabs of 0 to 50 units and 51 to 100 units as 0 to 100 units in LV 1.2 Domestic Category Reasons for proposed changes: To make the lifeline consumption slab broader from 0 to 50 units to 0 to 100 units and also to make the tariff structure simpler, this change in tariff structure is proposed. This would also prevent the consumers who used to consume more than 50 units in a month from going into the higher slab. The tariff has been accordingly designed to reduce the tariff impact on consumers who consumed less than 50 units per month. 12.1.2. Removal of optional demand based tariff (only for contract demand above 10 kW and upto 20 kW) in LV 2.1 and LV 2.2 Non Domestic category Reasons for proposed changes: To make the tariff structure simpler and also to bring all consumers upto contract demand of 20 kW under sanctioned load based tariff, this step has been taken. Consumers above 20 kW will continue to be billed under mandatory demand based tariff. 12.1.3. Merging of LV 3.1 Public Water Works and LV 3.2 Street Light categories Reasons for proposed changes: The tariff structure for both the sub-categories was similar and there was a marginal difference between the tariffs of the two categories. Also, both these sub-categories belonged to government owned organizations. Thus, in order to make the tariff structure simpler, the two categories are proposed to be merged. 12.1.4. Rebate to all LT consumers for online payment of bills Reasons for proposed changes: It is proposed that all LT consumers who have no arrears shall be given rebate of Rs 5 per bill for online payment of the energy bill in full. This is being done to encourage online payment of bills among consumers. It is also estimated to improve timely payment by consumers and simultaneously cash in hand for the Discoms. 125 ARR for MYT FY 2016-17 to FY 2018-19 and Tariff Petition for FY 2016-17 12.1.5. Permission to use 10% of connected load/ contracted demand for temporary usage by LT consumers Reasons for proposed changes: It is proposed that LT permanent consumers except LT Agricultural consumers shall be allowed to use not more than 10% of their sanctioned load / contract demand for any such usage which comes under the definition of temporary connection for the same purpose, subject to the condition that the combined load/ demand shall not exceed the sanctioned load/ contract demand. This will facilitate the consumers to use connection for temporary purposes also subject to the terms and conditions. 12.1.6. Limiting the sanctioned load/ connected load under LT connection to 75 kW/ 100 HP Reasons for proposed changes: It is proposed that the load limit for availing LT connection be reduced 75 kW instead of existing 112.5 kW/ 150 HP. This step would be a stepping stone for the Discoms to reduce their distribution losses. The higher the load catered or energy supplied at LT voltage, the higher is the distribution losses. If all such consumers having connected load more than 75 kW at LT are converted to HT, then the distribution losses will reduce significantly. The existing LT consumers having sanctioned load more than75 kW/ 100 HP shall be asked to be converted to avail supply on HT by the end of FY 2016-17. 12.1.7. Merging of HV 3.2 Non Industrial use and HV 3.3 Shopping Mall Reasons for proposed changes: The tariff structure for both the sub-categories was similar and there was a marginal difference between the tariffs of the two categories. Also, the nature of business under both the categories belonged to non-industrial or commercial use. Thus, in order to make the tariff structure simpler, the two categories are proposed to be merged. 12.1.8. Merging of HV 5.1 Public Water Works and HV 5.2 Other Allied Agricultural use Reasons for proposed changes: The tariff structure for both the sub-categories was similar and there was a marginal difference between the tariffs of the two categories. Also, the nature of business for both these categories was non- agricultural. Thus, in order to make the tariff structure simpler, the two categories are proposed to be merged. 126 ARR for MYT FY 2016-17 to FY 2018-19 and Tariff Petition for FY 2016-17 12.1.9. Addition of apartments/ colonies/ townships in HV 6.2 Bulk Residential Use Reasons for proposed changes: It is proposed to extend the benefit of this category to apartments, colonies and townships also. These establishments are used for residential purposes and hence stand eligible for this category. This shall be subject to the term that common facilities like lifts, lights, pumps, etc. and all non-domestic loads shall not be more than 20% of the total connected load/ sanctioned demand of the establishment. 12.1.10. Rebate on energy charges for incremental load factor for HT consumers Reasons for proposed changes: It is proposed that all HT consumers shall be given rebate of 50 paise per unit of energy for incremental load factor on monthly basis as compared to past year. This benefit is provided to increase the economic development of the state and also to encourage the HT consumers to consume more energy at reduced prices. 12.1.11. Rebate for online bill payment by HT consumers Reasons for proposed changes: In order to encourage online bill payment by HT consumers it is proposed that all HT consumers who have no arrears shall be given a rebate Rs 100 per bill for online payment of energy bill in full. This facility shall also improve the cash in hand for the Discoms. 12.1.12. ToD surcharge reduced to 0% for HT consumers Reasons for proposed changes: Madhya Pradesh is a power surplus state and it does not have to procure power at short term rates, hence no additional costs are borne by the State to procure power during peak hours. In order to extend this benefit to the HT consumers, the ToD surcharge during peak hours is proposed to be reduced to 0%. 12.1.13. Additional Charges for energy for Excess Demand by HT consumers Reasons for proposed changes: The HT consumers shall not be charged additional energy charges in case their maximum demand recorded in any month is exceeds 105% of their contract demand. They shall be billed at the same tariff for energy charge as per their schedule. However, the fixed charges shall be levied as per the existing terms and conditions. This is done to reduce the effect of additional charges if the demand exceeds 105% of the contract demand. This provision is also applicable for excess demand in HT temporary connections. 127 ARR for MYT FY 2016-17 to FY 2018-19 and Tariff Petition for FY 2016-17 12.1.14. Rebate of 5 paise per unit for all domestic and non-domestic consumers having prepaid meters Reasons for proposed changes: In order to promote prepaid metering in the state, it is proposed that the Discoms shall offer a rebate of 5 paise per unit for all domestic and nondomestic consumers having or opting prepaid meters. The existing provision of 1% rebate on energy and fixed charges is proposed to be discontinued on account of inherent complication in the prepaid billing software. 128 ARR for MYT FY 2016-17 to FY 2018-19 and Tariff Petition for FY 2016-17 13. Voltage-Wise Cost of Supply 13.1. Commission Directives The Hon’ble MPERC has directed the Discom’s of MP to determine the voltage wise cost of supply vide its letter dated 25 October 2013 with memo no. MPERC/RE/2013/2780. The Hon’ble Commission referred to the judgment passed by Appellate Tribunal for Electricity (APTEL) in Appeal No. 103 of 2010 & IA Nos. 137 & 138 of 2010 regarding determination of voltage level wise Cost of Supply. The extract of APTEL’s order is elaborated as below. Extract of APTEL’s order “32. Ideally, the network costs can be split into the partial costs of the different voltage level and the cost of supply at a particular voltage level is the cost at that voltage level and upstream network. However, in the absence of segregated network costs, it would be prudent to work out the voltagewise cost of supply taking into account the distribution losses at different voltage levels as a first major step in the right direction. As power purchase cost is a major component of the tariff, apportioning the power purchase cost at different voltage levels taking into account the distribution losses at the relevant voltage level and the upstream system will facilitate determination of voltage wise cost of supply, though not very accurate, but a simple and practical method to reflect the actual cost of supply. 33. The technical distribution system losses in the distribution network can be assessed by carrying out system studies based on the available load data. Some difficulty might be faced in reflecting the entire distribution system at 11 KV and 0.4 KV due to vastness of data. This could be simplified by carrying out field studies with representative feeders of the various consumer mix prevailing in the distribution system. However, the actual distribution losses allowed in the ARR which include the commercial losses will be more than the technical losses determined by the system studies. Therefore, the difference between the losses allowed in the ARR and that determined by the system studies may have to be apportioned to different voltage levels in proportion to the annual gross energy consumption at the respective voltage level. The annual gross energy consumption at a voltage level will be the sum of energy consumption of all consumer categories connected at that voltage plus the technical distribution losses corresponding to that voltage level as worked out by system studies. In this manner, the total losses allowed in the ARR can be apportioned to different voltage levels including the EHT consumers directly connected to the transmission system of GRIDCO. The cost of supply of the appellant’s category who are connected to the 220/132 KV voltage may have zero technical losses but will have a component of apportioned distribution losses due to difference between the loss level allowed in ARR (which includes commercial losses) and the technical losses determined by the system studies, which they have to bear as consumers of the distribution licensee. 129 ARR for MYT FY 2016-17 to FY 2018-19 and Tariff Petition for FY 2016-17 34. Thus Power Purchase Cost which is the major component of tariff can be segregated for different voltage levels taking into account the transmission and distribution losses, both commercial and technical, for the relevant voltage level and upstream system. As segregated network costs are not available, all the other costs such as Return on Equity, Interest on Loan, depreciation, interest on working capital and O&M costs can be pooled and apportioned equitably, on pro-rata basis, to all the voltage levels including the appellant’s category to determine the cost of supply. Segregating Power Purchase cost taking into account voltage-wise transmission and distribution losses will be a major step in the right direction for determining the actual cost of supply to various consumer categories. All consumer categories connected to the same voltage will have the same cost of supply. Further, refinements in formulation for cost of supply can be done gradually when more data is available.” It is most humbly submitted that the above mentioned order of APTEL has been challenged in the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India by the Respondents in the case and the matter is under consideration before the Apex Court. However, as per the directives of the Hon’ble Commission the Discoms submit the details of calculation of the voltage wise cost of supply as per the methodology provided by the APTEL. 13.2. Voltage-wise Losses It is submitted that the MPERC Tariff Regulations do not provide segregation of normative losses for the Distribution Licensees into voltage wise normative losses in respect of technical and commercial losses. Therefore, the Petitioners face difficulty in segregation of normative losses in voltage level wise technical and commercial losses. Determination of voltage-wise losses would require detailed technical studies of the Distribution network of the three Discoms. For the purposes of illustrative computation of voltage-wise Cost of Supply, the petitioners have assumed voltage-wise losses, the data therein is not verified and so, should not be relied upon. 13.2.1. Methodology The Discoms have proposed the methodology for Voltage-wise Cost of Supply computation for three categories, namely: c. EHT System (400 kV, 220 kV and 132 kV) d. 33 KV System e. 11 KV + LT System For determination of Voltage-wise Cost of Supply, the proposed methodology involved the following steps: 1. Determine the voltage-wise Sales for three voltage levels. 130 ARR for MYT FY 2016-17 to FY 2018-19 and Tariff Petition for FY 2016-17 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Projection of voltage-wise loss levels based on historical numbers. It is pertinent to mention here that the loss levels so determined are on assumption basis and it would require a detailed technical study of the Distribution Network for the technical verification of the same. The Inter-state PGCIL and Intra-state MPPTCL losses are allocated to the EHT System (400 kV, 220 kV and 132 kV). a. It may also be noted that the percentage of EHT losses allocated to the three Discoms are different due to the fact that different generating stations are assigned to the different Distribution company and each draws its power from different 132 kV substation. Determine the voltage-wise energy input based on sales and the losses. The sales numbers have been escalated by the T&D loss% of the current voltage level as well as the next higher voltage level. Since the breakup of technical and commercial losses at 11 kV +LT system is not available, 50% of the total loss at this voltage level has been assumed as purely technical loss and remaining 50% loss has been assumed as commercial loss which has been loaded to various voltage levels in the proportion of their sales. The total Power Purchase Costs of each Discom is allocated to the three voltage levels based on the voltage-wise input energy. All other costs of the Discom are allocated based on the sales to each voltage-level. Non-tariff income has been assumed to be part of the revenue from 11 kV + LT, 33kV and EHT voltage levels. Sum of total costs (less non-tariff income) divided by net energy input gives the voltage wise cost of supply for the respective voltage level. 13.3.

Determination of Cross-Subsidy Surcharge The Tariff Policy provides for the determination of cross- subsidy surcharge for various categories of consumers. As per Clause 8.5.1 of the Tariff policy, the basis for determination of the aforementioned cross-subsidy surcharge is the aggregate of top 5 % at the margin of the power purchase costs. It is pertinent to mention here that Discoms have employed Merit-order dispatch while scheduling power from various stations so as to procure the cheapest power available. Also the Petitioners have also considered backing down of units/stations where variable cost is more than Rs 2.50 per unit (based on average IEX rate available in the market for sale) to ensure that power procured from cheaper sources is fully utilized and to avoid procurement of power from costlier sources. The resultant benefit of reduced power procurement cost is in turn being passed on to the consumers, along with backdown of few stations. Hence, in light of above, the petitioners submit that the basis for determination of the aforementioned cross-subsidy surcharge to be taken as cost of marginal power purchase of top 5% power scheduled by the Discom as per the Merit-Order-Dispatch. In addition, it is submitted that as per the formula provided in the National Tariff Policy for determination of cross subsidy surcharge, the open access consumer is required to pay the difference of average tariff and the total cost (Rs./Unit) at a particular voltage level. The Hon’ble Commission has determined the average tariff based on the power purchase cost as per previous year’s available data. Any variation on account of such change in fuel cost is also passed on to the consumer through FCA, which will result in an increase in average tariff by FCA amount.

The company is trying to arrange funds for the meterization work on priority basis. The Company is preparing Detailed Project Report for obtaining financial assistance from other financial Institutions. Compliance of the Directives provisions in Retail Supply Tariff Order for FY 2015-16 has been submitted before Hon’ble commission vide letter no 13794 dated 31.07.2015. The company has prepared circle wise month wise target and is planning to achieve 100% meterisation by the end of December’2015. The Company is facing challenges in meterisation especially in Jhabua circle. The MP report on Human Development Index reports that Jhabua district has one of the lowest HDI. The rural poverty level of Jhabua is very high and population mix of Jhabua has a large no. of Scheduled Tribes and daily labourers, which are living in small Majra-Tolas. These Majra-Tolas frequently changes their location. For the said reasons Jhabua has the least meterisation in respect of domestic connections. However, the petitioner has made concrete plan for the circle and has set the target to achieve 100% meterisation till June 2016 by way of procuring meter at the earliest. Meterization of domestic connections in Rural area is being carried at faster pace and only 2.85% consumers are left Un-Metered till September 2015. 14.1.3. Capex plan for reduction in technical losses 14.1.3.1. Commission’s Directives: The licensees should closely monitor progress of implementation of the Capex plans to avoid slippages.

Additional Charge for Excess connected load or Excess Demand: Shall be billed as per following procedure: a) Consumers opting for demand based tariff: The consumers availing supply at demand based tariff shall restrict their actual maximum demand within the contract demand. However, in case the actual maximum demand recorded in any month exceeds 105% of the contract demand, the tariff in this schedule shall apply to the extent of 105 % of the contract demand only. The consumer shall be charged for demand recorded in excess of 105% of contract demand (termed as Excess Demand) and consumption corresponding thereto at the following rates:i. Energy charges for Excess Demand: The consumer shall pay charges @ 1.3 times the tariff for energy charges for consumption corresponding to excess demand in case the maximum demand recorded exceeds the 105% of the contract demand. Example: If a consumer having a contract demand of 50 kVA records a maximum demand of 60 kVA, the billing of energy charges for excess demand of (60 kVA-52.5 kVA)= 7.5 kVA shall be = (total consumption recorded during the month*7.5 kVA/maximum recorded demand)*1.3* energy charge unit rate. ii. Fixed Charges for Excess Demand: These charges shall be billed as per following: 1. Fixed Charges for Excess Demand when the recorded maximum demand is up to 115% of the contract demand: Fixed Charges for Excess Demand over and above 105% of the contract demand shall be charged at 1.3 times the normal rate of Fixed Charges. 170 ARR for MYT FY 2016-17 to FY 2018-19 and Tariff Petition for FY 2016-17 2.

However, in case the actual connected load in any month exceeds 105% of the sanctioned load, the tariff in this schedule shall apply to the extent of 105% of the sanctioned load only. The consumer shall be charged for the connected load found in excess of 105% of the sanctioned load (termed as Excess Load) and consumption corresponding thereto at the following rates:i. Energy charges for Excess Load: The consumer shall pay charges @ 1.3 times the tariff for energy charges for consumption corresponding to excess load in case the connected load found at the consumer’s premises exceeds 105% of the sanctioned load for the entire period for which such use of excess load has taken place and if, however, the period during which such use of excess load has taken place cannot be ascertained, such period shall be limited to a period of twelve months immediately preceding the date of inspection. Example: If a consumer having a sanctioned load of 100 kW and connected load is found of 107 kW, the billing of energy charges for excess load of (107 kW- 105 kW)= 2 kW shall be = (total consumption recorded during the month* 2kW connected load found)*1.3* energy charge unit rate. ii. Fixed Charges for Excess load: These charges shall be billed as per following, for the period for which the use of excess load is determined in condition i) above: 1. Fixed Charges for Excess load when the connected load is found up to 115% of the sanctioned load: Fixed Charges for Excess load over and above 105% of the sanctioned load shall be charged at 1.3 times the normal rate of Fixed Charges. 2.

Percentage incentive payable on billed energy charges 5.0 (five percent) 7.0 (seven percent) Load factor calculation a. The load factor shall be calculated as per the following formula: Monthly consumption X 100 192 ARR for MYT FY 2016-17 to FY 2018-19 and Tariff Petition for FY 2016-17 Load factor (%) = ---------------------------------------------------------------No. of hours in the billing month X Demand X PF Monthly consumption shall be units consumed in the month excluding those received from sources other than Licensee No of Hours in billing month shall exclude period of scheduled outages in hours. Demand shall be maximum demand recorded or contract demand whichever is higher Power factor shall be 0.9 or actual average monthly power factor whichever is higher Note: The load factor (%) shall be rounded off to the nearest lower integer. In case the consumer is getting power through open access, units set off from other sources, the net energy (after deducting units set off from other sources, from the consumed units) billed to consumer shall only be taken for the purpose of working out load factor. The billing month shall be the period in number of days between the two consecutive dates of meter readings taken for the purpose of billing to the consumer. b. Load factor (LF) incentive shall be calculated as per the following scheme and shall be given to those categories of consumers where it is specified: LF Range Incentive Computation of % incentive on energy charge (LF = x%) LF <= 75% No incentive =0.00 LF > 75% Incentive of 0.10 % for every 1% increase in LF above 75% on the energy charges for incremental consumption above 75% load factor =(x-75)*0.10 Example, Consumer having 72% load factor would not be getting any incentive on energy charges Consumer having 82% load factor will get incentive of [0.10 * (82-75) %] = 0.7% on energy charges for incremental consumption above 75% load factor. Note: For working out incremental consumption, consumption corresponding to 75 % load factor shall be deducted from total consumption. The above load factor incentive shall apply only to energy charges corresponding to such incremental consumption for which separate rates have been specified. x. All HT consumers shall get a rebate of 50 paise per kWh in energy charges for incremental load factor on monthly consumption as compared to corresponding month of the past year. The calculation of energy units for the rebate shall be as follows: Difference in load factor in percentage (L) = Lcy – Lpy 193 ARR for MYT FY 2016-17 to FY 2018-19 and Tariff Petition for FY 2016-17 If L >0, Rebate = L x CDcy x NDM x 24 hours x Rs 0.50 per unit Where Lcy is load factor of the current billing month Lpy is the load factor of the corresponding month in the past year CDcy is contract demand of the current billing month NDM is the number of days in the billing month L is difference of load factor in the corresponding billing month of past year This rebate shall not be applicable if “L” is zero or negative xi. For advance payment made before commencement of consumption period for which bill is prepared, an incentive of 1 % per month on the amount which remains with the licensee at the end of calendar month (excluding security deposit) shall be credited to the account of the consumer after adjusting any amount payable to the licensee. xii. All HT consumers who have no arrears shall be given rebate of Rs 100 per bill for online payment of the energy bill in full. xiii. An incentive for prompt payment @0.25% of bill amount (excluding arrears, security deposit, meter rent and Government levies viz. Electricity Duty and Cess) shall be given in case the payment is made at least 7 days in advance of the due date of payment. The consumers in arrears shall not be entitled for this incentive. xiv. Time of Day (ToD) Surcharge / Rebate: This scheme is applicable to the categories of consumers where it is specified. This is applicable for different periods of the day i.e. normal period, peak load and off-peak load period. The surcharge / rebate on energy charges according to the period of consumption shall be as per following table: S. No. Peak / Off-peak Period Surcharge / Rebate on energy charges on energy consumed during the corresponding period 1. Evening peak load period (6PM to 10 PM) 0% surcharge 2. Off peak load period (10 PM to 6 AM next day) 15% of Normal rate of Energy Charge as Rebate Note: Fixed charges shall always be billed at normal rates i.e. ToD Surcharge / Rebate shall not be applied on Fixed Charges xv. Power Factor Penalty ( For consumers other than Railway Traction HV-1) a. If the average monthly power factor of the consumer falls below 90 percent, the consumer shall be levied a penalty @ 1% (one percent), for each one percent fall in his average monthly power factor below 90 percent, on total amount of bill under the head of “Energy Charges”. b. If the average monthly power factor of the consumer falls below 85 percent, the consumer shall be levied a penalty of 5% (five percent) plus @ 2% (two percent) for 194 ARR for MYT FY 2016-17 to FY 2018-19 and Tariff Petition for FY 2016-17 each one percent fall in his average monthly power factor below 85 percent, on the total amount of bill under the head of “Energy Charges”. This penalty shall be subject to the condition that overall penalty on account of low power factor does not exceed 35%. c. Should the average monthly power factor fall below 70%, the Distribution Licensee reserves the right to disconnect the consumer’s installation till steps are taken to improve the same to the satisfaction of the Distribution Licensee. This is, however, without prejudice to the levy of penalty charges for low power factor in the event of supply not being disconnected. d. For this purpose, the “average monthly power factor” is defined as the ratio expressed in percentage of total kilowatthours to the total kilovoltampere hours recorded during the billing month. This ratio (%) shall be rounded off to the nearest integer figure and the fraction of 0.5 or above will be rounded to next higher integer and the fraction of less than 0.5 shall be ignored. e. Notwithstanding what has been stated above, if the average monthly power factor of a new consumer is found to be less than 90% in any month during the first 6 (six) months from the date of connection, the consumer shall be entitled to a maximum period of six months to improve it to not less than 90% subject to following conditions: i. This period of six months shall be reckoned from the month following the month in which the average power factor was found for the first time to be less than 90%. ii. In all cases, the consumer will be billed the penal charges for low power factor, but in case the consumer maintains the average monthly power factor in subsequent three months (thus in all four months) to not less than 90%, the charges on account of low power factor billed during the said six months period, shall be withdrawn and credited in next monthly bills. iii. The facility, as mentioned herein, shall be available not more than once to new consumer whose average monthly power factor is less than 90% in any month during 6 months from the date of connection. Thereafter, the charges on account of low average power factor, if found less than 90%, shall be payable as applicable to any other consumer. xvi. Additional Charges for Excess Demand a) The consumer shall at all times restrict their actual maximum demand within the contract demand. In case the actual maximum demand in any month exceeds 105% of the contract demand, the tariffs given in various schedules shall apply to the extent of 105% of the contract demand only. The consumer shall be charged for excess demand computed as difference of recorded maximum demand and 105% of the contract demand on energy charges and fixed charges and while doing so, the 195 ARR for MYT FY 2016-17 to FY 2018-19 and Tariff Petition for FY 2016-17 other terms and conditions of tariff, if any, shall also be applicable on the said excess demand. The excess demand so computed, if any, in any month shall be charged at the following rates from all consumers except Railway Traction. b) Energy charges for excess demand: The consumer shall pay energy charges as per the tariff for consumption corresponding to excess demand in case the maximum demand recorded exceeds the contract demand. c) Fixed charges for excess demand: These charges shall be billed as per following: i.

Fixed charges for Excess Demand when the recorded maximum demand exceeds 115% of contract demand: In addition to fixed charges in 1 above, recorded demand over and above 15 % of the contract demand shall be charged at 2 times the normal fixed charges. Example for fixed charges billing for excess demand: If the contract demand of a consumer is 100 kVA and the maximum demand recorded in the billing month is 140 kVA, the consumer shall be billed towards fixed charges as under:-1. Up to 105 kVA at normal tariff. 2. Above 105 kVA up to 115 kVA i.e. for 10 kVA at 1.3 times the normal tariff. 3. Above 115 kVA up to 140 kVA i.e. for 25 kVA at 2 times the normal tariff. d) In case of Railway Traction the excess demand so computed as per above, if any, in any month shall be charged at the following rates: 1. When the recorded maximum demand is up to 115% of contract demand- Excess Demand over and above 105% of the contract demand—at the rate of Rs. 385 per kVA 2. When the recorded maximum demand exceeds 115% of contract demand: - In addition to fixed charges in (a) above, recorded demand over and above 15 % of the contract demand shall be charged—at the rate of Rs. 525 per kVA While doing so, other provisions of electricity tariff (such as tariff minimum charge etc.) will also be applicable on aforesaid excess demand. e) The excess demand computed in any month will be charged along with the monthly bill and shall be payable by the consumer. 196 ARR for MYT FY 2016-17 to FY 2018-19 and Tariff Petition for FY 2016-17 f) The billing of excess demand at higher tariff is without prejudice to the Licensee’s right to discontinue the supply in accordance with the provisions contained in the Madhya Pradesh Electricity Supply Code, 2013. xvii. Delayed Payment Surcharge: Surcharge at the rate of 1.25 % per month or part thereof on the amount outstanding (including arrears) will be payable if the bills are not paid up to due date. The part of a month will be reckoned as full month for the purpose of calculation of delayed payment surcharge. The delayed payment surcharge will not be applicable after supply to the consumer is permanently disconnected. xviii.
