The govt will see itself pressed to the walls when Parliament reconvenes on Aug 21 after a crack, as the Resistance is likely to booth the process. One of the greatest recipients of the fossil fuel prevents allowance has been the Anil Ambani-owned Dependency Energy Restricted (RPL). Arriving down intensely on the Ministries of Energy and Coal for providing post-bid discounts to RPL for its 4000-MW Sasan super power venture, the CAG said this not only vitiated the bidding procedure process but also conferred on the programmer Rs. 29, 033 crore in “undue advantages.”
It also criticised the govt for enabling RPL to use extra fossil fuel from the prevents utilized the Sasan flower for its other tasks. “Permission for the use of unwanted fossil fuel by RPL from the three prevents — the Moher and Moher-Amlohri expansion and Chhatrasal — assigned for the Sasan super super power venture (UMPP) after its prize not only vitiated the bidding procedure process but also led to excessive advantage to RPL. To make sure no cost perform, a stage perform area and visibility in the bidding procedure process for upcoming designers to obtain relaxation in govt activity, the allowance of Chhatrasal should be properly analyzed,” the CAG said in its review on ‘Ultra Mega Energy Projects under Unique Objective Automobiles,’ which was tabled in Parliament on Saturday.
The review said three fossil fuel prevents were assigned to the Sasan venture for its specifications of 16 thousand lots a season. In Nov 2007, Madhya Pradesh Primary Reverend Shivraj Singh Chauhan asked for the Primary Reverend to allow RPL to use the extra fossil fuel from the attentive prevents of the Sasan flower being set up by the organization in Chitrangi tehsil. The issue was known as an Motivated List of Ministers (EGoM), which mentioned the problem on May 28 and Aug 14, 2008. It suggested that RPL be permitted to use the extra fossil fuel for its other tasks from where power was available through a tariff-based bidding; accordingly, authorization was provided. “The choice led to a economical advantage of Rs. 29,033 crore with a net existing value (NPV) of Rs. 11,852 crore to the venture programmer.”
It said a studying of all the conditions in the allowance characters together presented that they were placed in the fossil fuel allowance mail as a protect against neglect of fossil fuel by the programmer. “The authorization to use extra fossil fuel in other tasks of the prospective buyer after prize of the agreement, depending on the popularity of the smallest agreement price, vitiated the sanctity of the bidding procedure process, which would outcome in post-bid discounts to the programmer having a considerable economical connotation.”
The CAG said it was not obvious how the Energy Ministry determined in Oct 2006 that the two prevents assigned originally for the Sasan venture (Moher and Moher Amlohri) were insufficient. “The base on which the Secretary of state for Coal was became popular upon in Oct 2006 itself to assign an extra prevent [Chhatrasal]… to the Sasan… venture by de-allocating it from the community industry NTPC is not obvious. Until Goal 2009, the Secretary of state for Coal was getting the take a position that fossil fuel from two prevents was adequate for Sasan, and there is no justified reason for assigning a third prevent to the programmer.”
