PROJECTIONS FOR VARIOUS PARAMETERS FOR 2010-2013.

9.0 Projections for Water Use :9.1 Keeping in view the likely additionality to storage volumes created in
the State through Major, Medium and Minor Projects and past water use
volumes by the three categories of users, the projections of volume of

to increase in volume of storage created but increasing demand even in
existing storage.
10.0 Projections for Irrigated Area :10.1 The following assumptions are made while projecting the area
irrigated for each of the three years 2010-11, 2011-12 and 2012-13.

DETERMINATION OF TARIFF
14.0 Allocation of O & M Cost :14.1 Tariff determination has been done considering the average O & M
cost of Rs.63144/- lakhs for the 3 years period 2010-2013 since the
Authority is required under the Act to review and revise the water
charges once every three years. Similarly for water use three year
average figures are considered.
14.2 As per Section 12.4 of the Criteria, the allocation of total O & M
cost to the three categories of users is :
Irrigation :
21%
Domestic :
16%
Industries :
63%
14.3 As per Section 13, the 3 year average O&M cost is Rs.63144 lakhs.
Its allocation to the three categories of users is accordingly.
Rs. Lakhs.
Agriculture :
:- 63144 x 0.21 = 13260
Domestic :
:- 63144 x 0.16 = 10103
Industries :
:- 63144 x 0.63 = 39781
63144
15.0 Basic rates for Non Irrigation:15.1 The basic volumetric rate for non-Irrigation are as under for above
O&M allocation.

15.2 For Industrial use the basic rate works out to,
39781 x 105
750x106
= Rs.5.30/m3
or Rs.53 per 10 m3
However, this is an average rate and actual rate keeping in view

differential rate for different sources of supply (Annex 4 of Criteria) will
be less. Also there are concessions. Considering these aspects, basic rate
of Rs. 32/10 m3 is arrived and as checked at Annex 2.

3/1/2011 2:32 PM
15.3 As per calculation in enclosed Annex 2, it is seen that for rate of

Rs.32/10m3 (basic), the tariff levied matches O&M allocation giving some
allowance for concessions to agro industries and likely recycling.
15.4 For domestic the basic rate works out to
Rs.10103 x 105
4200 x 106
= Rs.0.24/m3 or Rs. 2.40/10 m3.
However, this is an average rate and actual rate keeping in view

differential rate for different sources of supply (Annex.3 of the Criteria)
will be less. Considering these a rate of Rs.1.75/10 m3 is adopted and
checked as at enclosed Annex 3.
15.5 It is seen that as per calculations in enclosed Annex 3, the tariff
levied matches O&M allocation.
15.6 The tariff for various categories of non-irrigation users as per Annex
3 & 4 of Criteria & also Para 15.7 (excluding local cess) is thus as under:

CONCESSIONS/INCENTIVES/PENALTIES/DISINCENTIVES :
15.7 As per Criteria, the following Concessions/ Incentives/ Penalties/
Disincentives will be applicable on the above basic rates.
Domestic :
(i)
The above rates for various sub category of users and for various
source of supply will be uniform for all the seasons in the year.
(ii)
Adopting the basic rate of Rs.1.75/10m3, the stepped tariff for
rural and urban consumers has been worked out as per Criteria
item 13.2.3 viz.
GP
:
:
75% of applicable rate.
ULB
:
90% of applicable rate.
Municipality /
:
1.25 times applicable rate.
Corporations
(iii) Rebate for effluent treatment will be as per Criteria 13.2.2.
Industries:
The above rates for the two sub category of users will be for rabbi
(i)
season. For Kharif season 50% of above rate will be charged and in
hot weather 1.5 times of above rate (in Para 15.6) will be charged.
For agro Industries (Poultry, Canning, Sugarcane Processing,
(ii)
Dairying) 75% of above rates will be charged.
(iii) Rebate for recycling will be as per Criteria 13.3.2.
(iv) Penalty for not treating effluent to required MPCB standard will be
as per Criteria 13.3.3.
16.0
Basic Rates for Agriculture :
16.1 From Section 14.3, the allocation of O&M cost to agriculture is

Rs.13260 lakhs. As per Section 12.7 of the CBWT, 5% of O&M cost is
Government subsidy for well Irrigation i.e. 63144 x 0.05= Rs.3157 lakhs.
The balance (13260 3157) = Rs.10103 lakhs is to recovered from
tariff for flow and Lift Irrigation and Rs.3157 lakhs is direct government
subsidy for well Irrigation being declared free of water tariff by State
Government.
16.2 Grouping of Crops :
Section 13.1.1. (ii) of the CBWT has recommended grouping of crops to
reduce the number of crops with a view to reduce the number of crops
based on the recommendations of the Maharashtra Irrigation
Commission (Chitale Commission) and group of Chief Engineers
constituted to examine this aspect. The grouping of crops from
agricultural tariff considerations is now proposed as under,

3/1/2011 2:32 PM
Kharif
1. Cereals and other kharif
2. Groundnut
3. Onions & vegetables
4. Paddy
Rabi
5. Vegetables
6. Wheat
7. Other rabi (gram, oilseed, sunflower, soya)
Two Seasonal
8. Chilli, ginger, tur
9. Cotton
Hot Weather
10. Vegetable
11. Groundnut
12. Paddy
Perennial
13. Sugarcane & banana
14. Horticulture
16.3 Gross Value of Produce (GVP)
The Minimum Support Price (MSP) announced by GOI based on the
recommendations the Committee on Agricultural Costs & Prices for 2010
(and 2009-10 for such crops where not announced in 2010-11 like
sugarcane and wheat) has been considered to estimate GVP
16.4 The yield in quintals/ha for each crop in new crop grouping from
various sources has been considered and the appropriate irrigated yield
adopted.
16.5 The GVP of each crop is the MSP multiplied by the yield. As per
Criteria 4% of GVP for cereals and 9% for cash crops is the upper limit of
water tariff (area based) for that crop. This has been compared with the
existing 2003 rate and a rational rate keeping in view (i) need for
rounding off to nearest Rs. 10 (ii) The Criteria requirement the where
crop nomenclature is same, the Kharif rate will be 50% & HW rate 150%
(iii) need to encourage production of oilseeds by reducing tariff has been
proposed.
16.6 Enclosed Annex 4.1 and 4.2 give detail of crop wise water tariff
estimation.
16.7 Private Lift Schemes
The following principles are applied to compute tariff of private lift
schemes for various sources of supply.

3/1/2011 2:32 PM
i.
To account for investment made by farmer in pump equipment etc.,

the applicable rate is arrived at by giving a concession of 35%
ii.
The basic principles for perennial crop therefore is Basic Applicable

Rate = 0.65 (flow rate) O&M cost Energy Charge
iii.
The annual energy charge for a 5 hp pump to irrigate 1 hectare is

Rs. 1500
iv.
The lumpsum O&M cost in respect of maintenance of pumps,

transmission system is Rs. 1000/year.
v.
For regulated water supply rate will be 75% of above rate (basic
rate) since Transmission losses to be borne by service provider.
vi.
For partly assured water supply, rate will be 50% of basic rate
vii. Where beneficiary constructs own reservoir or shares capital cost,

rate will be 33% of above rate.
viii. Horticulture rates will be 75% of perennial rate.
ix.
For adopting drip and sprinkler, 75% applicable rate.
x.
For other Kharif, Rabi, hot-weather crops existing 2003 rates are
adopted.
16.8 Enclosed Annex 5 gives the rates based on above principles for
private lift schemes.
16.9 For government lift schemes, tariff will comprise area based tariff
and energy charges payable by beneficiary as per procedure laid
down in Annex 2 B of Criteria.
17.0 Verification of Agricultural Tariff
17.1 For verification of the correctness of agricultural tariff the total
revenue earned from the irrigated crop pattern of 2008-09 has
been computed and checked with O&M allocation after correcting
for concessions.
17.2 Enclosed Annex 6 gives the revenue computation.
