THE MANIPUR STATE POWER DISTRIBUTION COMPANY LIMITED

RESPECTFULLY SUBMITS AS UNDER:
1. The Petitioner, Manipur State Power Distribution Company Limited (MSPDCL) is

the sole Distribution Licensee in the State of Manipur, which has been formed after
the restructuring of the erstwhile Electricity Department of Manipur. With effect
from 1 February, 2014, the Electricity Department of Manipur has been
restructured into two Companies, viz., the Manipur State Power Distribution

1. Chapter 1: Introduction
1.1 Historical Background

The commissioning of the two micro hydel sets having capacities of 100 kW and 56
kW at Leimakhong in 1930 by the then Manipur State HE Board marked the beginning
of the use of electricity in Manipur. The Royal palace and main areas of Imphal Town
enjoyed electricity generated from this captive hydel station. During World War-II,
two more DG sets of 62 kW and 46 kW capacities were installed at the old Imphal
Power House by the Armed Forces for electrification of Imphal town and its suburbs.
The above installed capacity remained the same till the end of the first Five Year plan
(1951-56) of the post-independence period. The second Five Year Plan (1956-61)
however saw a significant change in the demand of power in the State. The demand
grew rapidly, which necessitated further addition in the generation capacity that was
accomplished with the installation of a few more DG sets of various capacities in and
around Imphal.
To evacuate the power generated from the captive micro hydel power station (100 +
56) kW at Leimakhong to specific load centres of Palace Compound and main bazar
area of Imphal, the 20 km long, 11 kV line between Imphal and Leimakhong was
constructed for the first time in Manipur in 1930. The State was then having 26 km of
11 kV lines and 45 km of domestic lines to serve very few consumers in 7
villages/Leikais. The line and generating stations were owned by the then Manipur
State HE Board, constituted under the ex-officio Chairmanship of the Political Agent.
Subsequently, electricity was kept under the administrative control of the Public
Works Department, Government of Manipur. It was separated from the State PWD
and started functioning as an independent Department since February 1970.
The peak load demand of Manipur in 1971 was 3.6 MW only, which was met from the
State’s own generating stations and power purchased from the neighbouring
States/Electricity Boards at low voltage. The per capita consumption of energy was
4.84 kWh. The scenario abruptly changed after the purchase of bulk power from
Assam with the commissioning of 132 kV inter-State transmission line from Imphal to
Dimapur and 6.3 MVA, 132/33 kV sub-station at Yurembam in December 1981. The
situation improved further with the commissioning of Loktak Hydro Electric Project
having a capacity of 3x35 MW on 4 August, 1984.
6
During the years from 1984 to 1996, a number of Central Sector Power Projects, mostly
hydel projects, were commissioned in the North Eastern Region. Manipur State has a
share of about 7-8% in every project. Because of the power availability from such
projects, the peak demand of the State has increased gradually and in FY 2018-19, it
has increased to more than 200 MW.
After the enactment of Electricity Act 2003, various reforms have been initiated in the
power sector including restructuring of integrated State Electricity Boards into
separate Companies. With effect from 1 February, 2014, the Electricity Department of
Manipur (EDM) was restructured and separated into two different entities, viz., (1)
Manipur State Power Distribution Company Limited (MSPDCL), and (2) Manipur
State Power Company Limited (MSPCL).
Accordingly, MSPDCL is submitting the tariff filing for Wheeling and Retail Supply
Business to the Hon’ble Commission.
1.2 Power Profile of MSPDCL

Manipur, like other States of the North-Eastern Region, has been gifted with a fairly
high hydro power potential. However, the major portion still remains untapped due
to financial and environmental bottlenecks. Currently, the State is having one furnace
oil based generating station at Leimakhong (6x6 MW) in standby mode, and a few
diesel generating stations. Therefore, the State is dependent upon outside sources for
meeting majority of its energy requirement. It is currently getting power from NHPC,
NEEPCO, ONGC Tripura Power Corporation (OTPC) Unit I and Unit II, and
Baramura Gas Turbine Power Project (BGTPP). The scheduled allocated firm share
from the Central Sector generating stations of NEEPCO and NHPC, OTPC-I and II,
BGTPP of Tripura State Electricity Corporation Limited (TSECL) and NTPC
Bongaigaon Unit I & II is currently around 195.50 MW. MSPDCL is currently receiving
power from both Units of OTPC Palatana with share of 42.03 MW. MSPDCL is already
getting power from NTPC Bongaigaon Unit I from the beginning of the first quarter
of FY 2016-17. The total allocation from NTPC Bongaigaon Unit I is 18.76 MW.
MSPDCL is also expecting power from NTPC Bongaigaon III in the last quarter of FY
FY 2018-19, with a share of 18.76 MW.
7
For the purpose of evacuating power from different sources in the North-Eastern
Region, the inter-State transmission network owned and maintained by PGCIL as well
as the intra-State transmission network owned by the Manipur State Power
Corporation Limited (MSPCL) is utilised. The existing intra-state transformation
capacity of 132 kV Substations in Manipur is 417 MVA and the length of the 132 kV
lines is 472.7 km of single circuit lines and 87.9 km of double circuit lines.
1.3 Background of Regulatory Setup

The State Governments of Manipur and Mizoram authorized the Government of India
to constitute a Joint Commission as per Memorandum of Agreement dated 23rd July,
2004 among the Government of India and the States of Manipur and Mizoram to
regulate the power sector in the States of Manipur and Mizoram. Accordingly, under
provisions of Section 83(5) of the Electricity Act, 2003, a quasi-judicial independent
body, i.e., the Joint Electricity Regulatory Commission for the States of Manipur &
Mizoram (JERC) was constituted by the Central Government vide Govt. of India F.
No. 23/3/2002-R&R dated 18 January, 2005 notified in the Gazette of India,
Extraordinary dated 18 January, 2005. The functioning of the Commission started on
January 2008. The Hon’ble JERC issued its first Tariff Order for FY 2010-11 for the State
of Manipur on 15 March, 2011. The second Tariff Order was issued by JERC for FY
2012-13 on 14 August 2012.
EDM filed the Tariff Petition for FY 2013-14 before Hon’ble JERC in April 2013 but the
same was not admitted by the Hon’ble Commission because of delay in filing of the
Petition and since the Order had to be issued before the start of the year. The Petition
for FY 2013-14 was kept by JERC for reference and record purposes. The Petition for
FY 2014-15 was filed by EDM by November 2013 and the Order was issued in
February 2014. The first Petition for approval for ARR and tariff for FY 2015-16 for
MSPDCL was filed by November 2014 and the Order was issued on 27 February, 2015.
The next Petition for Multi Year ARR approval for FY 2016-17 to FY 2017-18 and Tariff
Petition for FY 2016-17 was filed by MSPDCL by November 2015 and the Order was
issued on 29 February, 2016. The Petition for approval of Limited Provisional True up
of FY 2016-17 and determination of ARR and Tariff for the second MYT Control Period
from FY 2018-19 to FY 2022-23 was filed by MSPDCL in January 2018 and the Order
was issued on 12 March, 2018.
8
JERC (Multi Year Tariff) Regulations, 2014 requires the Licensees to submit the Tariff
Petition for the ensuing financial year before 30th November of the previous year. To
fulfil this statutory requirement, MSPDCL is filing the present Petition for approval of
Limited Provisional True up of FY 2017-18 and determination of Tariff for FY 2019-20
before 31st December 2018, in accordance with the JERC (MYT) Regulations, 2014, to
enable the issue of the Tariff Order for FY 2019-20, before the start of FY 2019-20.
MSPDCL being a utility undertaking distribution and retail supply function, the cost
and expenses of distribution and retail supply functions have been considered
together as approved by the Hon’ble Commission, and the Tariff Petition has been
filed for seeking approval of the Wheeling Charges and Retail Supply Tariff after
allocation of the total ARR of MSPDCL for FY 2019-20 into Wires ARR and Supply
ARR based on the Allocation Matrix specified in the JERC (MYT) Regulations, 2014.
In view of the above, MSPDCL hereby submits its Petition for Limited Provisional
True up of FY 2017-18, and determination of Tariff for FY 2019-20.
1.4 Contents of this Petition

This Petition covers the provisional figures for True up of FY 2017-18, allocation of the
approved ARR for FY 2019-20 into Wires ARR and Supply ARR, and determination
of Tariff for FY 2019-20.

2. Chapter 2: Overall Approach for Present Filing
MSPDCL is filing the petition for the Petition for Limited Provisional True up of FY
2017-18, and determination of Tariff for FY 2019-20.
2.1 Approach for Filing

The present filing for the Limited Provisional True up of FY 2017-18, and Tariff
Determination for FY 2019-20 is based on the principles specified in the JERC (Multi
Year Tariff) Regulations, 2014 notified on 9 June, 2014. The subsequent Chapters
provide details of the true-up requirement for FY 2017-18, the expected revenue
projections with existing tariff for FY 2019-20 based on the tariff approved by the
Hon’ble Commission for FY 2018-19 for the area of supply of MSPDCL.
Regulation 4.2 of the JERC (MYT) Regulations, 2014, specifies as under:
“4.2 The Multi-Year Tariff framework shall be based on the following elements, for
determination of Aggregate Revenue Requirement and expected revenue from tariff and
charges for Generating Company, Transmission Licensee, Distribution Wires Business
and Retail Supply Business:
…
(iii) Truing up of previous year's expenses and revenue based on Audited Accounts
vis-à-vis the approved forecast and categorisation of variation in performance as
those caused by factors within the control of the applicant (controllable factors) and
those caused by factors beyond the control of the applicant (uncontrollable factors),
shall be undertaken by the Commission:
…
(iv) The mechanism for pass-through of approved gains or losses on account of
uncontrollable factors as specified by the Commission in these Regulations;
(v) The mechanism for sharing of approved gains or losses on account of controllable
factors as specified by the Commission in these Regulations;
(vi) Annual determination of tariff for Generating Company, Transmission
Licensee, Distribution Wires Business and Retail Supply Business, for each
financial year within the Control Period, based on the approved forecast
and results of the truing up exercise.”(emphasis added)
10
Thus, in accordance with the JERC (MYT) Regulations, 2014, MSPDCL is supposed to
submit final true up petition for FY 2017-18. MSPDCL respectfully submits that due
to unbundling of EDM in 2014, various structural, organizational, commercial,
financial and administrative aspects have had to be segregated in separate books for
the unbundled utilities. These processes were time consuming, which caused delay in
preparation of the Balance Sheet of MSPDCL for FY 2014-15. This delay has also
caused to postpone the finalization of the accounts for FY 2015-16, FY 2016-17, and FY
2017-18 and getting it audited by a statutory auditor.
Thus, due to aforesaid reasons, the annual accounts for FY 2017-18 could not be
finalized, hence, MSPDCL is unable to submit the True up Petition for FY 2017-18 in
accordance with the JERC (MYT) Regulations, 2014. As and when the accounts of FY
2017-18 are audited, MSPDCL shall file its final true up petition.
However, it is important to consider the actual data for past years because it forms the
base for future projections. Hence, MSPDCL is submitting the actual sales and power
purchase data for FY 2017-18, as well as the actual O&M expenses and finance related
costs for FY 2017-18. Based on the above, a limited provisional True up Petition has
been prepared for FY 2017-18. As only limited provisional True up for FY 2017-18 is
being claimed, MSPDCL has not requested for pass through of the provisional
Revenue Gap of FY 2017-18 and consequent sharing of gains and losses for FY 2017-
18 along with this Petition, and the same shall be claimed at the time of seeking final
true-up for FY 2017-18 based on audited accounts.
The JERC (MYT) Regulations, 2014 do not contain any provision for filing of Annual
Performance Review (APR) for the ongoing year, i.e., FY 2018-19. Hence, MSPDCL is
not filing any request for APR of FY 2018-19 along with this Petition.
Regulation 4.2 (vi) of the JERC (MYT) Regulations, 2014 reproduced above, clearly
specifies that the tariff for Distribution Wires Business and Retail Supply Business
shall be determined annually, for each financial year within the Control Period, based
on the approved forecast and results of the truing up exercise. As stated above,
MSPDCL has not requested for pass through of the provisional Revenue Gap of FY
2017-18 and consequent sharing of gains and losses for FY 2017-18 along with this
Petition, as only provisional true-up for FY 2017-18 has been claimed in this Petition.
The Hon’ble Commission has already approved the ARR for FY 2019-20 in the MYT
11
Order dated 12 March, 2018 in Petition (ARR & Tariff) No. 1 of 2018. Hence, in
accordance with Regulation 4.2 (vi) of the JERC (MYT) Regulations, 2014, MSPDCL
has filed this Petition for determination of Tariff for FY 2019-20 based on the ARR
approved for FY 2019-20 in the above-referred MYT Order.
However, it is clarified that the actual sales and power purchase expenses as well as
other expenses like O&M expenses and capital related expenses in FY 2019-20 will be
different from that approved by the Hon’ble Commission in the above-referred MYT
Order. MSPDCL will claim the difference between the approved and actual amounts
in the true-up Petition for FY 2019-20, at the appropriate time.
12
3. Chapter 3: Limited Provisional true up of FY 2017-18
MSPDCL is a Distribution Licensee, which fulfils the need for electricity of the
consumers in the State of Manipur. As explained earlier, MSPDCL is required to
submit the request for true-up for FY 2017-18 in this Petition, but since the audited
financial accounts of FY 2017-18 are not ready at the time of filing this Petition,
MSPDCL is unable to submit the final true up Petition. Hence, MSPDCL hereby
submits a limited provisional true-up of FY 2017-18 based on the actual sales, power
purchase quantum and costs, O&M expenses and capitalisation for FY 2017-18. As and
when the accounts of FY 2017-18 are audited, MSPDCL shall file its final true up
Petition. As only limited provisional True up for FY 2017-18 is being claimed,
MSPDCL has not requested for pass through of the provisional Revenue Gap of FY
2017-18 and consequent sharing of gains and losses for FY 2017-18 along with this
Petition, and the same shall be claimed at the time of seeking final true-up for FY 2017-
18 based on audited accounts. The main objective of this limited provisional true-up
Petition is to update the Commission regarding the Revenue Gap for FY 2017-18 based
on the actual expenses and revenue and after considering the actual State Government
Subsidy received for FY 2017-18, as compared to the ARR and Revenue Gap approved
by the Hon’ble Commission in the Tariff Order dated 28 February, 2017 for FY 2017-
18 in Petition (ARR & Tariff) No.2 of 2016. It may be noted that the true-up Petition is
not based on the comparison of the actual expenses and revenue for FY 2017-18 with
the expenses and revenue considered by the Hon’ble Commission in the Annual
Performance Review (APR) of FY 2017-18 in the MYT Order dated 12 March, 2018, as
in this Order, the Hon’ble Commission has not passed through the impact of the APR,
and has merely captured the values as they are the base values for the MYT period.
3.1 Energy Sales

MSPDCL caters to a diverse consumer mix comprising LT domestic, LT commercial,
HT commercial, LT Industry, HT Industry and agriculture consumers. LT Domestic
category is the largest consumer category and comprises around 60% of the total sales
of MSPDCL. The number of consumers in this category has increased rapidly in the
recent years on account of the rural electrification schemes such as RGGVY,
Saubhagya, etc. The actual category-wise energy sales as compared to the energy sales
approved by the Hon’ble Commission for FY 2017-18 is given in the Table below:

The actual energy sold by MSPDCL in FY 2017-18 was 563.98 MU, which is slightly
lower than the approved sales of 576 MU. MSPDCL requests the Hon’ble Commission
to approve the actual category-wise sales of 563.98 MU, as shown in the Table above.

The actual surplus energy available and sold by MSPDCL in the Indian Energy
Exchange (IEX) in FY 2017-18 was 207.74 MU as compared to the surplus quantum of
297 MU approved by the Hon’ble Commission in the Tariff Order for FY 2017-18.
The actual Distribution Losses of 20.68% achieved by MSPDCL in FY 2017-18 is higher

than the normative Distribution Losses of 18.40% approved by the Hon’ble
Commission in the Tariff Order for FY 2017-18, as shown in the Table above.
MSPDCL respectfully submits that the actual Distribution Losses are slightly higher
than the approved figures, on account of Manipur having a hilly terrain and
characterized by population spread throughout the State. The distribution system
network in the State consists of long length of distribution and LT lines. In recent
years, majority of the new connections through various schemes are in the LT
category, which inherently incurs higher Distribution Losses.
MSPDCL wishes to bring to the attention of the Hon’ble Commission that in the
above-said Order, the Distribution Losses have been calculated with reference to the
15
energy injected at the State Periphery, as the Distribution Losses for FY 2017-18 have
been considered as equal to the arithmetical difference between T&D Losses and
Transmission Losses of 3.6% approved by the Hon’ble Commission (i.e., 22% - 3.6% =
18.40%). Hence, for the purposes of Limited True-up for FY 2017-18, MSPDCL has also
calculated the Distribution Loss with reference to the energy injected at State
periphery, which works out to 20.68%. The corresponding Distribution Loss with
reference to the energy injected into the distribution system works out to 22.98%.
The inter-State Transmission loss has been considered as 2.62%, based on the Interstate
transmission loss in North-Eastern Region for FY 2017-18, and has been deducted
from the total Power Purchase quantum. Further MSPDCL has added the UI
Overdrawal and subtracted UI Underdrawal and Surplus sales from the Net Power
Purchase to compute the Net Power available at State Periphery for sale within the
State of Manipur.
MSPDCL has considered the intra-State Transmission (MSPCL) loss of 10% for
computing the power available at the DISCOM periphery. The Hon’ble Commission
has been allowing intra-State Transmission losses of only 3.6%. MSPDCL respectfully
submits that in other States, 33 kV system is part of the distribution network, whereas,
in Manipur, the 33 kV system is part of MSPCL network, and the distribution network
is from 11 kV and below voltages. Thus, when other SERCs have approved intra-State
Transmission Losses of around 3 to 4%, the 33 kV losses have also been separately
approved as around 5-6%, which works out to total losses of around 10% upto 33 kV
level. The relevant data from some selected States, based on data available in the
public domain, is given in the Table below:
Table 3: Approved Losses upto 33 kV level in other States
State Intra-State Transmission

33 kV Losses Total
Losses
Maharashtra (MSEDCL) 3.92% 6% 9.92%
Bihar 3.92% 5% 8.72%
Source: Tariff Orders of respective SERCs
Hence, the intra-State Transmission (MSPCL) loss of 10% considered by MSPDCL for
computing the Energy Balance is appropriate and needs to be allowed.
16
Further, MSPDCL respectfully submits that the Distribution Losses approved by the
other SERCs are generally higher than the Distribution Losses approved by the
Hon’ble Commission, as shown in the Table below:

It is further submitted that MSPDCL has been incorporated in recent years and it has
taken significant steps over the years to reduce the Distribution Losses. Hence, in view
of all the above, MSPDCL requests the Hon’ble Commission to approve the actual
Distribution Losses of 20.68% for FY 2017-18.
3.3 Energy Requirement

The actual energy requirement for FY 2017-18 as compared to the energy requirement
approved by the Hon’ble Commission in the Tariff Order for FY 2017-18, is shown in
the Table below:

MSPDCL respectfully submits that the actual energy requirement was 732.28 MU,
which is slightly higher than the 705.88 MU approved by the Hon’ble Commission in
its Order dated 28 February, 2017. The higher energy requirement is attributable to
the higher actual Distribution Losses. As elaborated earlier, the Distribution Losses
approved by the Hon’ble Commission are lower and the actual Distribution Losses
are required to be allowed. Accordingly, MSPDCL requests the Hon’ble Commission
to approve the actual Energy Input in the Limited True-up for FY 2017-18.
3.4 Energy Availability

MSPDCL has been allocated power from various Central Generating Stations in North
Eastern Region, viz., NEEPCO, NHPC, Tripura-Baramura and OTPC-Palatana, and
NTPC Bongaigaon for power purchase under long term PPAs. The actual power
purchase quantum and energy availability as compared to quantum approved for FY
2017-18 in the Tariff Order for FY 2017-18, are as detailed in the Table below:

Total 1067.95 1056.38
As can be seen from the above Table, the actual power purchase quantum in FY 2017-
18 was 1056.38 MU, which is slightly lower than the approved quantum of 1067.95
MU. The reason for this deviation may be attributed to lower purchase of power from
NTPC Bongaigaon and Baramura GBPP Unit IV and V, and non-availability of power
from the projected new source of Kameng HEP. MSPDCL requests the Hon’ble
Commission to approve the actual power purchase quantum of 1056.38 MU in the
Limited provisional truing up for FY 2017-18.
3.5 Power Purchase Cost

Note: * MSPDCL has surrendered part of the power entitlement of NTPC Bongaigaon, as the Energy
Charges were on the higher side and MSPDCL was unable to earn that much amount through sale of
surplus power on the Exchange. However, Fixed Charges are still payable, unless NTPC is able to find
a buyer for the surrendered power. The actual average Energy Charges of NTPC Bongaigaon in FY
2017-18 was Rs. 2.993/kWh, while the Fixed Charges paid to NTPC Bongaigaon were Rs. 40.55 crore in
FY 2017-18.
20
The total actual power purchase cost including UI over-drawal and under-drawal,
NERLDC Charges, and arrears /supplementary bills in FY 2017-18 was thus, Rs.
337.26 Crore as compared to the approved figure at Rs. 317.33 Crore. These power
purchase costs are payable by MSPDCL as they are determined by CERC and
MSPDCL has no control over the same. MSPDCL requests the Hon’ble Commission
to approve the actual power purchase costs for FY 2017-18, as shown above.

MSPDCL respectfully submits that since 10% of the capital cost of every scheme is
financed by MSPDCL, either through loan or equity, depreciation has been claimed
equal to 10% of Gross Depreciation, as depreciation cannot be claimed on assets
funded by Government Grants and Consumer Contribution.
MSPDCL requests the Hon’ble Commission to approve the Depreciation of Rs. 1.96
Crore, as sought by MSPDCL.
3.11 Interest on Loan

The major part of capital expenditure undertaken by MSPDCL is funded by the State
Government’s grants and consumer contribution. However, in addition to these
sources of funds, MSPDCL has also taken a significant amount of loan from REC for
RAPDRP-B Project and RGGVY project, and a Vehicle loan from SBI. The Hon’ble
Commission had approved Interest expenses of Rs. 0.19 crore in the Tariff Order for
FY 2017-18, including interest on Consumer Security Deposit of Rs. 0.03 crore. The
repayment of loans during the year has been considered equal to the depreciation
claimed for the year, in accordance with the JERC (MYT) Regulations, 2014, and the
repayment has been considered proportionately based on the opening loan balance.
The details of loans with the computation of Interest on loan is shown in the Table

The ARR for FY 2017-18 is Rs. 540.37 Crore, which is very close to the ARR of Rs.
540.04 Crore approved by the Hon’ble Commission for FY 2017-18 in its Tariff Order
dated 28 February, 2017. MSPDCL requests the Hon’ble Commission to approve the
same.
3.16 Revenue from sale of power

The actual revenue from sale of power to consumers in FY 2017-18 was Rs. 237.83
crore, while the revenue from sale of surplus power of 207.74 MU in FY 2017-18 was
Rs. 55.05 crore, at an average rate of Rs. 2.65/kWh. Thus, the total revenue earned by
MSPDCL in FY 2017-18 was Rs. 292.88 crore, as compared to the revenue of Rs. 340.13
crore projected by the Hon’ble Commission in the Tariff Order for FY 2017-18.
MSPDCL requests the Hon’ble Commission to approve the same.
3.17 Revenue Gap

The Revenue Gap of MSPDCL for FY 2017-18 as against the Revenue Gap approved
by the Hon’ble Commission in the Tariff Order for FY 2017-18 is shown in the Table
below:

2 Total Revenue 340.13 292.88
3 State Government Revenue Subsidy 213.06
4 Unmet Revenue Gap 199.91 34.43
As can be seen from the above Table, the Unmet Revenue Gap for FY 2017-18 is Rs.
34.43 Crore, largely because the State Government has provided revenue subsidy of
Rs 213.06 Crore. The actual revenue gap can only be finalized during the actual Truing
up process for FY 2017-18, and MSPDCL shall seek pass through of such amounts with
associated carrying cost and sharing of efficiency gains and losses at that time.

Note: * - Hon’ble Commission had approved Rs. 87.87 crore in the MYT Order of MSPDCL
for FY 2019-20. The same has been modified to Rs. 86.57 crore based on MSPCL’s Petition for
determination of Transmission Tariff for FY 2019-20, and the total ARR has also changed
correspondingly
As can be seen from the above Table, power purchase cost including Transmission
inter-State and intra-State Charges contribute 81% of the approved ARR of MSPDCL.
MSPDCL has no control over these costs, as these are levied by Central Sector entities
31
regulated by CERC whose tariffs are approved by CERC, while the intra-State
Transmission Charge of MSPCL is approved by the Hon’ble Commission.
Power purchase expenses generally contribute around 70% to 90% of the ARR of
Distribution Licensees in the country as shown in the Table below, and in case of
MSPDCL also, it is around 81%.

As power purchase expenses comprise a large part of the ARR, other SERCs have been
approving tariffs such that the Distribution Licensees is able to recover the
major/entire portion of its ARR. This highlights the fact that there is an urgent need
to upwardly revise the tariffs charged by MSPDCL, so that it is able to recover the
power purchase expenses as well as other expenses, as the revenue from existing
tariffs are very low, as discussed below.
As stated in Chapter 2 of this Petition, in accordance with the JERC (MYT)

Regulations, 2014, MSPDCL has filed this Petition for determination of Tariff for FY
2019-20 based on the ARR approved for FY 2019-20 in the MYT Order, as reproduced
above.
4.2 Revenue at Existing Tariff
1. Revenue from sale of power for FY 2019-20 at existing tariff has been determined
based on the category-wise energy sales approved by the Hon’ble Commission in
the MYT Order for FY 2019-20 and the category-wise tariff approved by the
Hon’ble Commission in the MYT Order for FY 2018-19.
2. Revenue from sale of power at existing tariff is estimated to be Rs 310.71 crore for
FY 2019-20.
3. For FY 2019-20, while approving the Energy Balance, the Hon’ble Commission has
approved quantum of surplus power to be sold by MSPDCL, as 375.12 MU. As the
actual distribution losses as well as the intra-State losses in Manipur are much
higher than that approved by the Hon’ble Commission, the actual quantum of
surplus power that would be available to MSPDCL for sale, would be significantly
33
lower. However, for the purposes of this Petition, MSPDCL has considered the
same quantum of surplus power to be sold, as the ARR approved by the Hon’ble
Commission for FY 2019-20 is being considered in totality.
4. MSPDCL has sold surplus power in the IEX at an average rate of Rs. 2.65/kWh in
FY 2017-18 and at an average rate of Rs. 2.65/kWh in the first half of FY 2018-19
(April to September). Accordingly, MSPDCL has considered that it will be selling
the surplus power at Rs 2.65/kWh in FY 2019-20. The impact of the difference in
the quantum of surplus power and the rate for sale of surplus power, shall be
claimed at the time of true-up for FY 2019-20. The estimated revenue from sale of
surplus power in FY 2019-20 based on the approved quantum of surplus power
and the expected rate for sale of surplus power, thus works out to Rs. 99.41 crore.
5. The Table below summarizes the category-wise revenue from sale of power at
existing tariff for FY 2019-20:

4.3 Revenue Gap for FY 2019-20 at Existing Tariff

The projected Revenue Gap for FY 2019-20 at existing tariff based on the approved
ARR and the revenue from sale of electricity to different categories of consumers and
sale of surplus power, is shown in the Table below:
Table 24: Revenue Gap for FY 2019-20 at Existing Tariff (Rs. Crore)
Sl. Particulars Amount

1 Approved Revenue Requirement 741.49
Revenue from sale of power at existing tariff and
2 consumption slabs 310.71
3 Revenue from sale of Surplus Power 99.41
4 Total Revenue 410.11
5 Revenue Gap 331.38
Thus, MSPDCL has estimated that it will face a Revenue Gap of Rs. 331.38 crore in FY
2019-20, based on the approved ARR and expected revenue from existing tariff.

FY 2019-20 are shown in the Table below:

13 Average rate for Unmet Revenue Gap M = (E x 10)/H Rs/kWh 3.40
The method proposed by MSPDCL to recover the above estimated Revenue Gap is
discussed in the following paragraphs.
4.4 Recovery of Revenue Gap for FY 2019-20
Regulation 4.2 (vi) of the JERC (MYT) Regulations, 2014 is reproduced below again for
reference:
“(vi) Annual determination of tariff for Generating Company, Transmission Licensee,

Distribution Wires Business and Retail Supply Business, for each financial year
within the Control Period, based on the approved forecast and results of the truing
up exercise.”
Thus, in accordance with the above Regulations, it is expected that the Hon’ble
Commission shall determine the category-wise tariffs in such a manner that the entire
approved ARR of MSPDCL is recovered from the category-wise tariffs.
Further, the State Government subsidy referred to in the Electricity Act, 2003 and JERC
(MYT) Regulations, 2014 is category-wise subsidy with respect to category-wise tariff
approved by the Hon’ble Commission, i.e., targeted subsidy. Regulation 21.1 of the
JERC (MYT) Regulations, 2014 is reproduced below for reference:
“21.1 With effect from the first day of April 2015, if the State Government requires the grant
of any subsidy to any consumer or class of consumers in the tariff determined by the
Commission, the State Government shall, notwithstanding any direction which may
be given under Section 108 of the Act, pay in advance the amount to compensate the
Distribution Licensee/person affected by the grant of subsidy, as a condition for the
Licensee or any other person concerned to implement the subsidy provided for by the
State Government, in the manner specified in these Regulations:
36
Provided that no such direction of the State Government shall be operative if the
payment is not made in accordance with the provisions contained in these Regulations
and the tariff fixed by the Commission shall be applicable from the date of issue of
orders by the Commission in this regard.”
Thus, the Hon’ble Commission is required to determine full cost tariffs in such a
manner that the entire approved ARR of MSPDCL is recovered from the approved
category-wise tariffs, and if the State Government desires to subsidise any specific
category, it may do so in accordance with the provisions of the Electricity Act, 2003
and JERC (MYT) Regulations, 2014, and compensate MSPDCL for the corresponding
loss of revenue.
MSPDCL has compiled data from Tariff Orders issued by other SERCs, which clearly
shows that the SERCs are generally issuing Tariff Orders where the Average Billing
Rate (ABR) matches the Average Cost of Supply (ACoS). Even in States where there is
a gap between the ACoS and ABR, the gap is much lesser than that being approved
by the Hon’ble Commission, as shown in the Table below:
Table 26: Comparative Average Cost of Supply & Average Billing Rate Approved
by different SERC’s for FY 2018-19
ACoS-ABR %
State Utilities ABR ACoS
Gap Variation
Punjab 6.34 6.55 0.21 -3.15%
Chhattisgarh 6.20 6.20 0.00 -0.04%
Maharashtra 6.63 7.25 0.62 -8.55%
Himachal Pradesh 5.59 5.59 0.00 0.00%
Madhya Pradesh 6.03 6.03 0.00 0.00%
Assam 7.35 7.35 0.00 0.00%
Manipur 5.12 7.42 2.30 -31.00%
Further, the Hon’ble Commission, while approving the ARR of MSPDCL, has already
factored in the desired efficiency improvements and approves only the expenses that
are considered to be legitimately recoverable from the consumers, in the opinion of
the Hon’ble Commission. The Hon’ble Commission is well aware that the actual
Distribution Losses and intra-State Transmission Losses of MSPCL are significantly
higher than that being approved by the Hon’ble Commission on normative basis.
37
Thus, there is no further scope for meeting any part of the approved ARR through
efficiency improvements, and the entire approved ARR has to be met either through
tariff payable by the consumers.
Further, it needs to be appreciated that the existing revenue from sale of electricity
does not even meet the power purchase cost from different sources, leave alone power
purchase cost including inter-State and intra-State Transmission Charges. The
Revenue from sale of power at existing tariff for FY 2019-20 is estimated at Rs. 310.71
crore, whereas the approved cost of power purchase cost including inter-State and
intra-State Transmission Charges for FY 2019-20 is itself Rs. 601.06 crore, i.e., Revenue
from sale of electricity can meet only 51.69% of the power purchase cost including
inter-State and intra-State Transmission Charges. The remaining 48.31% of the power
purchase cost, and other expenses, viz., O&M expenses, interest expenses, etc., have
to be met through some other sources.
It may be noted that generally, some of the categories are subsidising consumers, i.e.,
their Average Billing Rate (ABR) is higher than the ACoS, and such subsidising
consumers cross-subsidise the subsidised consumers, whose ABR is lower than the
ACoS. However, in case of MSPDCL, as the ABR of all categories is lower than the
ACoS, i.e., all the categories are subsidised, and there is no subsidising consumer
category. This highlights the fact that the tariffs of MSPDCL are at very low levels,
which is unsustainable, and there is an urgent need to rationalise the tariffs of all
consumer categories.
Further, in the MYT Order, the Hon’ble Commission has relied upon the trajectory of
technical performance parameters agreed in the tri-partite UDAY MoU signed
between MSPDCL, Government of Manipur, and Government of India. However, the
same UDAY MoU also lays down the following financial parameters:
a. The gap between ACoS and ABR has to be eliminated by FY 2018-19; however,
MSPDCL is able to recover less than 50% of the ARR approved by the Hon’ble
Commission through the tariffs approved by the Hon’ble Commission.
b. The tariff should have been increased as per the following trajectory:
38
Particulars FY 2015-16 FY 2016-17 FY 2017-18 FY 2018-19
Average Tariff Rs. 4.12/kWh Rs. 4.46/kWh Rs. 5.13/kWh Rs. 6.00/kWh

Average Tariff 8.25% 15.02% 16.96%

Increase (UDAY)

Increase sought by
MSPDCL
Average Tariff 4.00% 8.00% 5.60% 7.23%

Increase approved
As can be seen from the above Table, the Hon’ble Commission has increased
the tariffs by only 5.6% in FY 2017-18 and 7.23% in FY 2018-19, though the
average tariff increase as per UDAY and as sought by MSPDCL were much
higher.
The financial aspects of the UDAY MoU cannot be separated from the technical
aspects, and in the absence of adequate tariff increases, MSPDCL cannot be expected
to achieve the technical performance parameters. Hence, adequate tariff increases are
essential and MSPDCL requests the Hon’ble Commission to approve the appropriate
and adequate tariff increase.
MSPDCL has also provided a comparison of the tariff for the domestic category
prevailing in selected States, which clearly shows that the tariff in Manipur is
significantly low and there is lot of scope for upwardly revising the tariffs of all
categories including the domestic category.

Further, the Hon’ble Commission will appreciate that MSPDCL’s own contribution to
its ARR is only Rs. 140.43 crore, after excluding cost of power purchase and
transmission charges, which are payable to other agencies based on regulated tariffs,
and are hence, uncontrollable for MSPDCL. Thus, MSPDCL’s contribution is only 19%
42
of the approved ARR of Rs. 741.49 crore, which works out to Rs. 1.44 per kWh,
considering the total energy handled by MSPDCL. In comparison, the approved ARR
of MSPCL for FY 2019-20, which is a much smaller organisation, is Rs. 86.57 crore
which is completely passed through to MSPDCL and contributes Rs. 0.90 per kWh to
MSPDCL’s Average Cost of Supply of Rs. 7.62/kWh. Further, the ARR approved for
MSPCL in recent years has increased steeply, by 79% and 26% in FY 2017-18 and FY
2018-19, as shown in the Table below:
Table 28: Increase in MSPCL approved ARR over last four years (Rs. Crore)

Approved ARR of
1 MSPCL 36.08 64.54 81.49 86.57
2 Annual Increase (%) 79% 26% 6%
Thus, it needs to be appreciated that the estimated Revenue Gap of Rs. 331.38 crore is
higher than the Revenue from sale of power at existing tariff, i.e., Rs. 310.71 crore. In
other words, if the entire Revenue Gap has to be recovered from the revised tariff,
then the average tariff increase would amount to 107%, which is impractical and
would amount to a tariff shock. Hence, for some years at least, the dependence on
revenue subsidy support from the State Government would have to continue.
However, there is an urgent need to steeply increase the category-wise tariffs to be
charged by MSPDCL, so that the recovery of the ARR through tariffs is increased
significantly, and MSPDCL’s dependence on State Government subsidy is reduced
significantly and eventually eliminated in the next 3-4 years.
The revenue subsidy provided by the State Government over the last 5 years is shown
in the Table below:
Table 29: State Government Subsidy for MSPDCL over five years (Rs. Crore)
Sl FY 2014- FY 2015-16 FY 2016- FY 2017- FY 2018-

Total Revenue 258.29 259.92 249.76 213.06 220.00
1 Subsidy
43
It is seen from the above Table that the revenue subsidy has reduced from Rs. 258.29
crore in FY 2014-15 to Rs. 220 crore (Budget Estimate) in FY 2018-19. The reduction in
subsidy support is primarily for the bigger account heads of power purchase subsidy,
which has reduced from Rs. 170 crore in FY 2014-15 to Rs. 120 crore in FY 2018-19.
Further, for FY 2018-19, out of a total committed subsidy of Rs. 120.00 Crore for power
purchase, so far the State Government has released only 30 Crore (only 25%). This
non-release of subsidy will affect the payment capacity of MSPDCL towards the
Power Generators (CPSU Bills) and the outstanding bills along with the applicable
surcharge will be carried forward (apportioned) in the next Year.
It should be noted that the State’s tax base is very narrow and more than 90% of the
State’s total revenue receipts comes from Central transfers. More than 80% of the
State’s total expenditure in a year are financed out of Central receipts, whereas the
balance is met out of the State’s own revenue receipts and borrowings.
During FY 2018-19, there has been a huge shortfall in receipts from share in Central
taxes, a major central receipt, vis-à-vis the amount assessed by the 14th Finance
Commission (FC). Cumulative gap during the first 3 years of the 14th FC award period
(FY 2015-16 to FY 2017-18) has been Rs 1431 crore. In addition, the current trend of
devolution points towards the shortfall in FY 2018-19 as well. The trend shows that
during FY 2018-19, total devolution will be around Rs 4148 crore only against the
assessment of Rs 5522 crore by the 14th Finance Commission. This may leave a huge
gap of about Rs 1374 crore during this year alone, taking the total gap between the
assessment by the 14th Finance Commission and the actual devolution of Central taxes
during the first 4 years of the period 2015-20 to a staggering level of Rs 2805 crore.
Further, during the current year, due to shortfall in provision for committed
expenditures, mainly salary and pension expenditures, realization of lesser than
estimated receipts and high estimates of opening balance, there is an estimated
shortfall of Rs. 1900 crore (approx.) in the current year’s Budgetary outlay. Over and
above these, there are other committed liabilities of Rs 2600 crore (approx.) for which
resources have to be met out of current year’s budgetary resources.
As a result of the shortfall in Central revenue transfers and budgetary resources, and
ballooning committed liabilities, the State Government is passing through a period of
44
severe resource crunch. This has led to shrinking fiscal space for capital and
developmental expenditure, as substantial portion of these transfers are pre-empted
by committed revenue expenditures like salary, pension, repayment liabilities,
interest payments and grant-in-aid to different bodies including subsidies for power
purchase. The magnitude of the gap has widened to such an extent that a complete
ban on encashment of bills have been imposed in Treasuries and Banks except those
relating to salary and pension bills.
In order to deal with the severe resource crunch, the State Government has taken up
various expenditure rationalization measures. An important aspect of these measures
will be to cut down subsidy support to different State parastatal bodies including State
power utilities and make them self- sustainable. In this regard, there is an urgent need
to arrest the increasing Revenue Gap of the State power utilities, which is
unsustainable. The Revenue Gap has ranged around Rs 218 crore to Rs. 293 crore in
the last 2-3 years. With periodic increase in the unit cost of power purchase, the
Revenue Gap is expected to widen even further. Given such a situation and the current
state of State’s finances, unless the Revenue Requirement of the Utilities is
substantially covered up by increase in the electricity tariff, the State Government will
not be in a position to further subsidize the power utilities and the power scenario in
the State could deteriorate, as MSPDCL will be unable to pay its power purchase bills,
with possibilities of return to the load shedding days.
The latest figure of Revenue Subsidy to be provided by the State Government is Rs.
220 crore for FY 2018-19. In view of all the above, MSPDCL has considered that the
State Government would provide revenue subsidy support in FY 2019-20 to the extent
of Rs. 220 crore, in addition to any Grants for creation of capital assets.
The balance Revenue Gap of Rs. 111.38 crore would thus, have to be recovered from
the consumers through an average tariff increase of 36%, as shown in the Table below:
Table 30: Average Tariff Increase Required
Sl. Particulars Units FY 2019-20

4 Revenue from sale of power Rs. Crore 310.71

4.5 Tariff Proposal for FY 2019-20
1. As elaborated above, after considering the estimated revenue subsidy support

from the State Government of Rs. 220 crore, the unmet Revenue Gap of Rs.
111.38 crore has to be recovered through tariff revision for different consumer
categories.
2. The provisions of the Section 61 (g) of the Electricity Act, 2003 state that the
Appropriate Commission should be guided by the objective that the tariff
progressively reflects the efficient and prudent cost of supply of electricity. In
line with the above provision, the Tariff Policy also stipulates that the tariffs
should be within ± 20 % of the Average Cost of Supply (ACoS). However, in
the present scenario, all the tariff categories are subsidised w.r.t. the ACoS.
Hence, it is impractical to burden the consumers with a tariff shock in order to
revise their tariffs within ± 20 % of the ACoS straightaway. Considering these
limitations, MSPDCL has formulated its tariff proposal with an endeavour to
progressively reduce the cross-subsidies, without giving any tariff shock to the
consumers.
3. As such MSPDCL has proposed an average Tariff increase of 36% for FY 2019-
20 to partially meet the approved ARR and estimated Revenue Gap and ACoS.
It may be noted that subsidy support of Rs. 220 crore from the State
Government has been considered for meeting the balance Revenue Gap.
4. MSPDCL proposes to increase the Fixed Charges payable by different

consumer categories by 10-15%, with the balance revenue requirement being
met through increase in Energy Charges.
5. MSPDCL requests the Commission to retain the existing system of telescopic

tariff for LT Domestic and LT commercial categories in FY 2019-20.
46
6. MSPDCL has proposed a new consumption slab in the LT Domestic Category,

by merging the Kutir Jyoti category of upto 15 units/month with the LT
Domestic category, and creating a new consumption slab of 0-30 units/month,
with the subsequent consumption slabs being from 31-100 units/month, 101-
200 units/month, and above 200 units/month. The benefit of telescopic tariffs
will be given to all the domestic category consumers.
7. MSPDCL has proposed a lower tariff increase for the first and second slab of
LT domestic category, in order to minimise the tariff shock to the lower end
consumers, and on account of the telescopic tariffs, all the domestic category
consumers will benefit from the lower tariffs of the first two slabs, i.e., 0-30 and
31-100 units units per month. The tariff for the higher consumption slabs in the
domestic category has been increased at a higher rate, in order to generate the
desired revenue, as domestic category comprises more than 60% of the total
consumption of MSPDCL.
8. The tariff increase for the Public Utilities, i.e., Public Lighting and Public Water
Works, has also been proposed lower than the average tariff increase of 36%,
as the Public Utilities are providing essential services to the common
population of the State, which should not suffer.
9. MSPDCL has launched a portal for facilitating online payment of electricity

dues using credit card, debit card, net banking etc. by the consumers. For online
payment, a transaction charge is levied by the payment gateway service
provider. In this case, the service provider is NSDL, with which DIT, GoM has
a MoU for providing services towards all citizen centric activities. The
transaction charges, which are part of the MoU range from Rs.5 per transaction
to a maximum of 1% of the value of transaction. Such charges shall be borne by
the consumer since the consumer will also get the convenience of paying from
his home. No rebate is proposed for online payment.
10. It is proposed to retain the tariff of small industries lower than that of
commercial category.
47
11. MSPDCL has also attempted to maintain the cross-subsidy between consumer
categories within the range of +20% stipulated by the Tariff Policy, though for
some categories, this has not been possible despite significant tariff increases.
12. Accordingly, the MSPDCL requests the Hon’ble Commission to revise the tariff
structure as summarized below:

Note: In the existing Tariff Schedule, the first consumption slab is 0-100 units/month, but
shown as two slabs of 0-30 units/month and 31-100 units/month with same tariff for both
48
slabs, in order to show the comparison with proposed tariffs. Modifications proposed to the
Tariff Schedule
While implementing the Tariff Schedule approved by the Hon’ble Commission for FY
2018-19 in the MYT Order, MSPDCL has faced certain difficulties. MSPDCL has also
observed certain inconsistencies between the approved Tariff Schedule and the JERC
Supply Code, 2013. Accordingly, MSPDCL requests the Hon’ble Commission to
modify the following clauses of the Tariff Schedule, based on the justification
provided:
1) Billing Demand Definition
In the Tariff Schedule, the definition of Billing Demand is as under:
“1.13 Billing demand: The billing demand shall be the maximum recorded demand or 75% of
the contracted demand whichever is higher.”
However, in the JERC (Electricity Supply Code) Regulations, 2013, the Billing Demand
is defined as under:
“2.3 (12) “Billing demand” means the highest of the following:-

(i) the contract demand, or
(ii) the maximum demand indicated by the meter during the billing cycle, or
(iii) the sanctioned load wherever contract demand has not been provided in the supply
agreement.”
As can be seen from the above extracts, the definition of Contract Demand in the Tariff
Schedule is inconsistent with the definition of Contract Demand as per the JERC
Supply Code Regulations, as the Tariff Schedule states one of the clauses as 75% of
Contract Demand, whereas the JERC Supply Code stipulates the related clause as
Contract Demand. Hence, MSPDCL requests the Hon’ble Commission to modify the
definition Contract Demand in the Tariff Schedule to make it consistent with the
definition of Contract Demand as per the JERC Supply Code Regulations, and
stipulate the relevant clause as “contract demand” rather than “75% of contract
demand”.
49
2) Applicability of Power Factor Incentive/Surcharge
In clause 1.7 of the Tariff Schedule, sub-clauses a) to f), the applicability of Power
Factor Incentive/Surcharge is stipulated under different conditions and for different
levels of Power Factor. However, from the wording, it may be interpreted that the
Power Factor Incentive/Surcharge is applicable to all consumer categories. However,
the Power Factor Incentive/Surcharge is applicable only for HT consumers and LT 3-
phase consumers and LT Industrial consumers. Hence, MSPDCL requests the Hon’ble
Commission to kindly modify sub-clauses a) to f) of clause 1.7 of the Tariff Schedule,
to state that “If the average monthly power factor of the HT consumer or LT 3-phase
consumer or LT Industrial consumer…” rather than “If the average monthly power
factor of the consumer…”
3) Assessment of Energy in cases of Theft
In Annexure 11.19 of the JERC Supply Code, the assessment formula for calculation
of the consumption due to theft of electricity has been specified as under:
“(A) In cases of Theft

The assessment formula for calculation of the consumption due to theft of electricity
shall be as under:
Units assessed = L x D x H x F
Where,
L = Load (Connected load found in the consumer’s premises during the course of
inspection) in kW;
D = Period of assessment in days;
H= Number of hours per day, which shall be taken as 8 hours for all consumers except
industrial consumers in respect of whom the hours of use shall be as per the hours the
industry generally operates in a day which in any case shall not be less than 8 hours.
F = Load factor, which shall be taken for different categories of use as given below:
S. No. Particulars Load Factor
1 Domestic (LT/HT) 40%
2 Non-domestic/Commercial (LT/HT) 50%
3 Industrial (LT/HT) 75%
50
S. No. Particulars Load Factor
4 Public Water supply (LT/HT) 50%
5 Bulk Supply 50%
6 Agriculture/Irrigation (LT/HT) 50%
7 Street light 50%
8 Direct theft – All categories 100%
“
MSPDCL has interpreted the above clause as under:
1) If the consumer categorised under any category is found to be consuming

electricity under any other category, then the Load Factor (F) in the above Table as
applicable for the category for which actual consumption is being utilised, shall be
applicable. For instance, if a Domestic category consumer is found to be utilising
electricity for commercial purposes and paying for electricity at the Domestic
tariffs, then the units shall be assessed as per the above Formula, with F (Load
Factor) of 50%, applicable for Commercial category.
2) The Load Factor of 100% shall be applicable in all cases of direct theft, i.e., hooking
of distribution network or meter bypass by consumer.
MSPDCL requests the Hon’ble Commission to clarify the understanding and

implication of the above Table in the JERC Supply Code Regulations.
4.6 Proposed Wheeling Charges for Open Access transactions for FY

2019-20
In accordance with Regulation 79 of the JERC (MYT) Regulations, 2014, MSPDCL has
segregated the total approved ARR for FY 2019-20 into Wires ARR and Supply ARR
based on the allocation matrix specified therein, as shown below:

The proposed Wheeling Charges for FY 2019-20 have been computed based on the
methodology adopted by the Hon’ble Commission for determining the Wheeling
Charges for FY 2018-19 in the MYT Order dated March 12, 2018, as shown in the Table
below:
Table 33: Proposed Wheeling Charges for FY 2019-20
Sl. Particulars Units Amount

1 ARR for Wires Business Rs. Crore 82.96
2 Energy available at Distribution periphery MU 704.71
3 Wheeling Charges Rs/kWh 1.18
Thus, MSPDCL proposes Wheeling Charges of Rs. 1.18 per kWh for Open Access
transactions in the State of Manipur.

5. Tariff Schedule
5.1 General Conditions of Supply (For all Categories of Consumers)
5.1.1 Rebate for advance payment: For payment of energy bill in advance, a
rebate of 1% shall be allowed on the rate of charge of the applicable Tariff.
This will be applicable only for all consumers provided with prepaid
meters.
5.1.2 Rebate/surcharge for availing supply at voltage higher/lower than base
voltage: Those who avail supply at higher voltage than the classified
supply voltage for corresponding load as per Clause 3.2 of the JERC for
Manipur and Mizoram (Electricity Supply Code) Regulations, 2013, shall
be allowed rebate and those availing supply at lower voltage than the
specified voltage shall be levied surcharge as detailed below:
i) For consumers having contracted load up to 50 kW – If the supply is
given at HV/EHV, a rebate of 5 % would be admissible on the rate of
Energy Charge and Fixed Charge of the applicable tariff.
ii) For consumers having contracted load above 50 kW – If supply is given
at voltage lower than the base voltage for corresponding load as per
the Clause mentioned above, the consumer shall be required to pay an
extra charge of 10 % on the bill amount (Energy Charge + Fixed Charge)
calculated at the applicable tariff.
iii) All voltages mentioned above are nominal rate voltages as per Clause
3.2 of the JERC for Manipur & Mizoram (Electricity Supply Code)
Regulations, 2013.
5.2 Payment: All payments shall be made by way of Cash (up to the amount as
acceptable to the Licensee), Banker’s Cheque, Demand Draft or Money Order
or e-transfer on-line. Cheques and Demand Drafts shall be payable at any
branch of a scheduled commercial bank that is a member of the clearing house
for the area where the concerned Sub Divisional Office is located.
However, part payment is subjected to acceptance by the competent authority.
53
Bank commission/charges, if any, should be borne by the consumers. The

transaction charges of Rs. 5 per transaction shall be borne by the consumer if
payment is made through the online mode.
5.3 Surcharge for late Payment of Bills: If payment is not received within due
date, late payment surcharge @ 2% at simple interest on the outstanding
principal amount for each 30 days successive period or part thereof will be
charged, until the amount is paid in full.
5.4 Single Point Delivery: This tariff is based on the supply being given through
a single point of delivery and metering at one voltage. Supply at other points
at other voltage shall be separately metered and billed for and shall be
considered as separate connection.
5.5 Voltage and Frequency: All voltages and frequency shall be as per Clauses
3.1 and 3.2 of the JERC for Manipur & Mizoram (Electricity Supply Code)
Regulations, 2013.
5.6 Power Factor Incentive/Surcharge:
a) If the average monthly power factor of the LT 3-phase and LT
Industrial consumer and all HT consumers increases above 0.95, he

shall be paid an incentive at the following rate:
For each 0.01 increase by which One percent (1%) of the total amount
his average monthly power factor of the bill under the head ‘Energy
is above 0.95, up to unity power Charge’.
factor
b) If the average monthly power factor of the LT 3-phase and LT Industrial
consumer and all HT consumers falls below 0.90, he shall pay a

surcharge in addition to his normal tariff, at the following rate:
For each 0.01 by which his One percent (1%) of the total amount of
average monthly power factor the bill under the head ‘Energy Charge’.
falls below 0.90 up to 0.85
54
c) If the average monthly power factor of the LT 3-phase and LT Industrial

consumer and all HT consumers falls below 0.85, he shall pay a
surcharge in addition to his normal tariff at the following rate:
For each 0.01 by which his Two percent (2%) of the total
average monthly power factor amount of the bill under the head
falls below 0.85 ‘Energy Charge’.
d) If the average monthly power factor of the LT 3-phase and LT Industrial
consumer and all HT consumers falls below 0.70, then the utility shall
have the right to disconnect supply to consumer’s installation after
serving a notice of 15 days. Supply may be restored only after steps are
taken to improve the power factor to the satisfaction of the Utility. This
is, however, without prejudice to the levy of surcharge for low power
factor in the event of supply not being disconnected.
e) For this purpose, the “average monthly power factor” is defined as the
ratio of total ‘kilo Watt hours’ to the total ‘kilo Volt Ampere hours’
recorded during the month. This ratio will be rounded off to two figures
after decimal. Figure 5 or above, in the third place after decimal, shall be
rounded off to the next higher figure in the second place after decimal.
f) Notwithstanding the above, if the average monthly power factor of a
new LT 3-phase and LT Industrial consumer and all HT consumers is

found to be less than 0.90 at any time during the first 6 (six) months from
the date of connection, and if he maintains the average monthly power
factor in subsequent three months at not less than 0.90, then the
surcharge billed on account of low power factor during the said period,
shall be withdrawn and credited in next month’s bill.
5.7 Transformation loss: The consumers getting their supply at HT and metered
on the LT side shall be charged transformation loss in kWh as per Clause 5.7 of
JERC for Manipur and Mizoram (Electricity Supply Code) Regulations, 2013.
The same is reproduced for convenience sake:
1. The average losses in the transformer shall be calculated as follows and added
to the energy consumption indicated by the meter:
55
730 x 1.0 x C
Average transformer loss = ------------------------ = kVAh per month
100
where C = kVA rating of the transformer. For conversion of kVAh to kWh or
vice-versa, latest power factor as per JERC (M&M) (Electricity Supply Code)
Regulations, 2013 with latest amendment is to be used.
2. The transformer loss arrived at by the above formula shall be added to the
energy consumption, even when the recorded energy* consumption is nil.
3. 1% of the transformer capacity for transformer above 63 kVA will be added to
the recorded maximum demand on the Low-Tension side to arrive at the
equivalent High-Tension demand.
* Note: - In case of un-metered supply, consumed energy computed as per Clause 5(1) of
this Tariff Schedule shall be taken as recorded energy consumption.
5.8 Rounding of Contracted Load/billing demand: For the purpose of calculation

of fixed/demand charge in the monthly billing, the contracted load/billing
demand shall be taken on actual basis (not to be rounded), except for load
less than 500 W. Load less than 500 W shall be taken as 0.5 kW for calculation
of Fixed/Demand charge in the monthly billing. Fixed/Demand charge in the
monthly billing shall be calculated as follows: - Fixed/Demand charge per
month = Contracted load (in kW) or Billing demand (in kVA) x Rate of fixed
charge per month per kW/kVA (as the case may be).
Sample calculation for Domestic Purpose (1) 1.24 kW (2) 0.36 kW, Fixed Charge
for Domestic is Rs 70.00 per kW of contracted load. Sample 1:- Fixed Charge =
1.24 x 70 = Rs 86.80 = Rs 87.00. Sample 2:- Fixed Charge = 0.36 kW (=0.50 kW after
rounding) x 70 = Rs 35.00.
Note: Fraction of rupees is rounded as per Clause 1.10 of this Tariff Schedule and load
below 0.5 kW is rounded to 0.5 kW as per Clause 1.9 of this tariff schedule.
5.9 Rounding of Rupees: Each component of bill, such as Energy Charge,
Fixed/Demand Charge, meter rent, surcharge, rebate of any kind, etc.,
56
including interest, involving fraction of a rupee shall be individually rounded

off to nearest rupee (fraction of 50 paise and above to be rounded off to the next
higher rupee and fraction less than 50 paise to be ignored). In case of non-
availability/scarcity of small change of rupees less than Rs. 10, consumer may
be allowed to tender next higher amount divisible by 10. Such over tendered
amount shall be carried to next bill as credit and shall not earn any interest
whatsoever.
5.10 System of supply:
5.10.1 LT Supply: -
i) Alternating current, 50 Hz, single phase 230 Volts up to 8 kW
ii) Alternating current, three phase, 400 Volts for loads above 8 kW upto 50 kW.
Wherever 3-phase connection is required for load less than or equal to 8 kW,
necessary justification shall be provided along with such request for
consideration of licensee for extending such supply.
5.11 HT Supply: -
Supply of Electricity to the consumers at voltage above 400 Volts as per Clause 3.2
of JERC for Manipur and Mizoram (Electricity Supply Code) Regulations, 2013 with
up to date amendment.
5.11.1 The Maximum Demand means the highest load measured in average kVA
or kW at the point of supply of a consumer during any consecutive period of 30
(thirty) minutes during the month or the maximum demand recorded by the MDI
during the month.
5.11.12Billing Demand: The billing demand means the highest of the following:
(i) the contract demand, or
(ii) the maximum demand indicated by the meter during the billing cycle, or
(iii) the sanctioned load wherever contract demand has not been provided in the
supply agreement.
57
5.12 Tax or Duty
The tariff does not include any tax or duty, etc., on electrical energy that may be
payable at any time in accordance with any law / State Government Rules in force.
Such charges, if any, shall be payable by the consumer in addition to tariff charges.
5.13 Contingency: - In case of any inconsistency between this Tariff Schedule and
the prevailing JERC for Manipur and Mizoram (Electricity Supply Code)
Regulations, 2013, the provision, meaning and contents of the said Code shall
prevail.
