The petitioner named above respectfully showeth

under:
MYT proposal for first control period (F.Y. 2007-08, 2008-09 & 2009-10)
1.0 Brihanmumbai Electric Supply and Transport Undertaking hereafter referred

to as 'BEST' is an Undertaking of the Brihanmumbai Mahanagarpalika
and is in the business of distribution of electricity and providing public
road transport.
2.0 As per Proviso to Section 61 (part-VII) of the Electricity Act, 2003 and , this
application to determine the tariff for retail sale of Electricity under a Multi
Year Tariff (MYT) framework with effect from 1 st April, 2007 for the
control period of three financial years i.e. 1st April, 2007 to 31st March,
2010 has been prepared in accordance with the relevant provisions of
MERC ( Terms & Conditions of Tariff) Regulations, 2005, Electricity
(Supply) Act, 1948 and Electricity Regulatory Commission Act, 1998.
3.0 The salient features of MYT proposal are as follows:
3.1 Power Purchase :- Component of the power purchase cost is a dominant

factor of Undertaking's MYT Proposal. The basis considered for power purchase
projections are based on the various tariff orders of the Commission in respect of
the ARRs of MIs. TPC Ltd., STU, MSEDCL & RPO.
i. Fixed charge payable to TPC-G
ii. Energy charges payable to TPC-G
iii Rebate due to usage of Hydro peaking tariff to be received
from TPC-G.
iv Power purchase expenses related to supply from TPC-D.
v. Stand-by charges payable to MSEDCL
vi Transmission charges payable to STU.
vii. Renewable purchase obligations.

All the above components are subject to escalation as per CERC

Notification dated 22nd October, 2006
Regarding serial no. iv above, we have considered that TPC-D would be

procuring the energy above quantum allotted to BEST out of TPC-G's
generation capacity for the control period at a rate mentioned in
Commission's Order to TPC-D for FY 06-07 subject to escalation rates as
mentioned above. However, Undertaking recognizes the need for having
a long term purchase plan and is contemplating appointing a consultant
for this purpose and would submit to Commission for long term power
purchase plan in due course.
3.2 As part of proposal the Undertaking is required to submit the sales forecast
for various tariff categories. The data for the previous five years based on
then prevailing tariff categories was re-classified in the tariff categories as
per the MERC's supplementary tariff order and Compounded Aggregate
Average Growth Rate (CAGR) is worked out for each category. On the
basis of this CAGR, the sales projections for control period are made.
3.3 The Undertaking is required to project the distribution losses for the above
control period. The distribution loss is identified as controllable factor. It
may be mentioned that the distribution losses of the Undertaking are one
of the lowest in India. It has been submitted to the Commission that the
Undertaking's technical losses are on lower side as a result of number of
measures adopted by the Undertaking such as prudent network design,
quality assurance on equipments, optimum loading etc. Whereas, scope
of reducing technical losses further is limited, the Undertaking recognizes
that there is a scope for reduction in commercial losses and has projected
a trajectory of reduced distribution losses in the control period as follows:
FY 2007-08 - 12%,
FY 2008-09 - 11.5%
FY 2009-10 - 11%.
The limitation of bringing down the technical losses further and our
continuous and proposed efforts for reduction of the commercial
losses are elaborated in our proposal.
3.4 Employee expenses: The employee expenses projections have been

worked out. The comparative position of employee expenses in terms
of Rupees per units are brought out for a number of urban distribution
licensees I utilities in India It may be seen that the BEST's employee

expenses are comparable to the lowest in the India. It also needs to be
mentioned that Undertaking has been carrying out all its activities . in
house and does not outsource any of its activities. While reiterating
long term advantages of carrying out core activities ' in-house',
such as skill building and adherence to correct technically
administrative practices for ensuring quality of supply and reliability, we
are contemplating outsourcing some of our non-core activities in a
gradual manner and same has been elaborated in our proposal.
3.5 Repairs & Maintenance (R&M) Expenses: It is observed that the

ReInstatement charges (R.I.) payable to MCGM form a major (i.e. more
than 85%) component of R & M Charges. There has been a substantial
increase in Re-Instatement charges in recent past. These are mainly paid
for the cable laying schemes for system augmentation. As such the R.I.
charges should ideally be booked under Capital Expenditure but
historically the R.I. charges are shown under R&M expenses. We are
conducting exercise to segregate these R. I. charges for capital jobs /
schemes and R&M purpose such as fault repairs. We request the
Commission to allow us to resubmit the R&M expenses excluding the R.I.
charges before or during the technical validation session for MYT petition.
3.6 Capital Expenses: The Undertaking has submitted its projection for
capital expenses for system augmentation for adhering and
implementing the reliability standards, meeting additional loads and
procurement of installation of electronic meters for ensuring adherence
to CEA regulation on meters. The expenses shown under Capital
Expenditure exclude the ReInstatement (RI.) charges payable to
MCGM which are historically been shown under the head Repairs &
Maintenance (R&M) expenditure and ideally should be booked under
the head Capital Expenditure. We are conducting exercise to
segregate the R.I. charges for capital jobs / schemes and R&M
purpose such as fault repairs. We request the Commission to allow us
to resubmit the Capital Expenses including the R.I. charges before or
during the technical validation session for MYT petition so as to
present the facts in proper perspective.
3.7 Rent Expenses: The rent expenses for establishment of Supply Division
In bus depots and bus stations is indicated in para 4.4 of the MYT
proposal. BEST would humbly submit to the Hon'ble Commission that

BEST is gradually moving towards a commercial oriented utility and
hence commercial prudent practices should be instilled in its function.
4.0 BEST hereby submits the proposal for in respect of determination of tariff
for the
control period of three financial years to meet the ARRs for each year.
Prayer
It is therefore prayed that
· The Hon'ble Commission may please consider BEST's request
in respect of determination of tariff for the control period of three
financial years i.e. 1st April, 2007 to 31st March, 2010 for retail
sale of Electricity under a Multi Year Tariff (MYT) frame work.
· The Hon'ble Commission may please consider BEST's request for
revision in existing tariffs and accord approval for the same.

1. Background
1.1. Overview of BEST
The erstwhile Bombay Electric Supply & Tramways Company started supplying electricity
to the city in 1905. Until 1926, the Company had been generating its own electricity for
distribution to its consumers. Later, the Tata Electric Companies started supplying
electricity to BEST.
The Tata Electric Companies (The Andhra Valley Power Supply Co., The Tata Power
Supply Co., and The Tata Hydroelectric Power Supply Co.) generated electricity from their
reservoirs at Bhira, Bhivpuri and Khopoli in the Western Ghats. A major portion of it was
transmitted through 110,000 Volts overhead lines to their Receiving Stations at Dharavi
and Parel. In these Receiving Stations the voltage used to be transformed to 22,000 and
6,600 volts for ease of distribution. The Tata Electric Companies provided, through their
cables, electricity at requisite voltage to the industries and mills, the Railways, the Bombay
Suburban Electric Supply Company and the BEST.
In 1947, when the Company was taken over by the Municipal Corporation, the Undertaking
was buying electricity from Tatas at nine receiving points known as: Kussara, Mahim,
Kingsway, Jamnadas, Suparibag, Lalbaug, Esplanade, Palton and Backbay. At all these
points, except Kussara, Kingsway and Mahim, the supply was received at 6,600 Volts. The
supply was received at 22,000 Volts and transformed through Tatas’ transformers to 5,500
Volts at Kussara and to 6,600 Volts at Kingsway and Mahim. From these receiving points
the cable network carried power to 247 Substations situated in different areas of the city.
With the help of transformers at these substations, the voltage was further transformed to
400/230 Volts, suitable for use in the factory, shop and home. It was made available to the
consumers through a low voltage distribution network and service cables to individual
buildings. The major portion of electricity distributed was at A.C. But, in some areas of
South Bombay, particularly Fort, Kalbadevi and Girgaum, D.C. was supplied at a voltage
of 460/230 Volts. To convert it into D.C., Rotary Converters were operated at Pathakwadi,
Telwadi, Apollo and Palton Road Substations and Mercury Arc Rectifiers were used at
Phirozshah Mehta Road substation.
The Undertaking is now well known in India for its service of providing electricity with
minimum interruptions and at proper voltage, at the minimum cost. It is also known for the
quick restoration of supply in the event of any faults developing in the distribution system.
In the fifty years with a municipal status, the number of substations from 247 to 1938 ; the
length of underground cables from 1,263 kilometres to 9,093 kilometres; the number of
consumers from 1,08,000 to more than 9,53,241; the number of street lamps from 2,215 to
40,119.
1.2. Filings based on Multi Year Tariff (MYT) Principles
Section 61 of the Electricity Act, 2003 empowers the State Commission (MERC in this
case) to specify the terms and conditions for the determination of tariff and specifies that in
doing so, the Commission shall inter alia be guided by multi year tariff principles (Section
61 (f)). In exercise of powers conferred under clause (zd), (ze) and (zf) of Section 181 (2)
read with Sections 61 and 62 of the Electricity Act 2003 (36 of 2003) and all other
enabling powers in that behalf, the Maharashtra Electricity Regulatory Commission has
made the MERC (Terms and Conditions of Tariff ) Regulation, 2005 (“Regulation”).
The Regulation applies to all the Distribution Licensees in the State. In the Regulation the
Commission has laid out the principles for determination of Aggregate Revenue
Requirement (ARR). The ARR so determined for each of the businesses will form the basis
for fixation of charges for retail sale of electricity. In the Regulation, the Commission has
also laid down the procedures for filing under multi-year tariff principles. The multi-year
period is defined as the Control Period. The Hon’ble Commission in its order dt. 20th
December, 2005 has defined first Control Period as three year period starting FY 2007-08
and continuing till the end of FY 2009-10. The current filing pertains to the First Control
Period.
The current filing follows the principles laid down under this Regulation for determination
of ARR for each of the years of the Control Period. Some of the key features of the
Regulation are:
• Filing details of a Resource Plan (to be adopted in the Multi-year and Annual filings
as part of performance review for each of the years of the Control Period)
specifying the following:
– Sales Forecast and Load Forecast;
– Power Procurement Plan; and
– Capital Investment Plan for each of the years of the control period
• Estimation of Operation and Maintenance expenses (comprising of Employee expenses,
Administration & General expenses and Repair & Maintenance expenses) for each of
the years of the control period
• Setting targets for distribution losses to be achieved for each of the three years of
Control Period.
• The Distribution licensee shall be subject to an Annual Performance Review (APR)
during the control period
• The Regulation also specifies the “controllable” and “uncontrollable” elements as
follows:
Distribution licensee
ARR Item “Controllable”/ “Uncontrollable”
Variation in cost of power purchase Un controllable
Variation in the number or mix of Uncontrollable
consumers or quantities of electricity
supplied to consumers
Variations in capital expenditure Controllable
Variation in Technical & Commercial Controllable
losses
Variation in working capital requirements Controllable
Standards specified in the Standards of Controllable
Performance Regulations
Variations in Labour productivity Controllable
Targets are set for the “controllable” items while any variation in the “uncontrollable”
items of ARR can be claimed by the licensees in the ARR for the year succeeding the
relevant year of the Control Period when the variations occurred as part of APR exercise.
The gains and losses on account of the variations in “controllable” items will be shared by
the consumers and licensees as per the mechanism laid down in the Regulation. The
sharing of these gains/ losses will be for the aggregate gains or losses for the whole of the
Control Period and shall be done on a yearly basis as part of APR exercise. Therefore,
determination of base line data and realistic targets/projections/trajectory becomes
extremely crucial. Any unrealistic projections or underestimation in projections would lead
to huge losses for the licensee. However, any gains/ losses in the Controllable items arising
out of factors beyond the control of the licensees, as stated below:
• Force Majeure events
• Changes in law, judicial pronouncements and Order of Central government, State

government or commission
• Economy-wide influences, such as unforeseen changes in inflation rate, market-

interest rates, taxes and statutory levies
The above shall be passed on as an additional charge or rebate in ARR over such period as
may be specified in the Order of the Commission.
1.3. Filing Contents
The filing is structured in the following way:
Chapter 2 provides information related to Demand Assessment comprising of
• Sales Forecast for each year
• T&D loss level
• Energy balance forecasted for each of the years
The sales forecast has been made for each of the years of the control period. This
forecast has been used to determine the tariff-income from retail sale of electricity for
the first year of the control period and also to estimate the energy input required for
meeting the demand for each of the years and forecast the Energy balance.
Chapter 3 provides the information related to Power Purchase comprising of
• Power Procurement Plan; and
• Distribution Plan (Capital Expansion Plan)

BEST purchases all its power from TPC and the power procurement plan is based on the
Tariff Order of TPC –G & TPC - D issued by the Hon’ble Commission on October 3, 2006
and orders related to Renewable Purchase specifications and Intra-state Transmission of
Power. The distribution/ investment plan is prepared keeping in view the potential to meet
the load growth, directives issued by CEA regarding metering, plans to improve quality of
supply and the distribution loss trajectory that the utilities expect to be achieved during the
Control Period.
Chapter 4 provides information related to determination of Aggregate Revenue

Requirement for each of the years of the control period. In this chapter, forecast of
expenses related to O&M expenses, depreciation, interest on long-term loans and Returns
claimed by BEST is provided.
Chapter 5 provides information related to Aggregate Revenue Requirement for each of the
years of the control period
Chapter 6 provides information related to non-tariff income for all the three years of the
control period
Chapter 7 provides information related to average cost-of supply for all the years of the
control period
Chapter 8 provides information related to revenue from sale of energy and the estimated
revenue gap based on prevailing for all the three years of the control period
Chapter 9 provides information related to revision in tariff structure proposed in all the
three years of the control period and the estimated revenue gap/surplus on implementation
of the proposed tariff.
Chapter 10 relates to furnish of information with respect to any directives issued in the
tariff orders of previous financial year

Note: As the tariff order was implemented by BEST w.e.f from October 1, 2006 based on
the Supplementary Order issued by MERC on September 26, 2006. The above energy
consumption figures are derived from the computer programming of energy consumption
data available as a database of the previous tariff structure
With regards to sales forecast for the each of the three years of the control period, the sales
have been projected on the basis of 5-year CAGR, on the revised tariff slabs as introduced
in the Supplementary Order dated September 26, 2006.
Prior to October-2006, BEST has been billing all its consumers as per its old tariff structure
and it has maintained the Energy consumption database in tariff structure all these years.
With the rationalisation of tariff structure as introduced in the Supplementary order, BEST
had to format and realign the historical Energy consumption data (specifically for FY 2001-
02) into new tariff structure. For the 5-year CAGR computation, we have taken the base
years to be FY 2001-02 and FY 2006-07, also we have adopted the actual consumption for
the 6-month period of April-06 to September-06 and the forecasted consumption for the
period November-06 to March-07. The 5-year CAGR values arrived on this basis has been
used for forecasting energy sales for FY 2007-08, 2008-09 and 2009-10.
The following table gives the broad category wise break up for the electricity consumption
under four major heads.

Table 2 Projected sales for FY 2007-08, 2008-09 and 2009-10(figures in MU)
Domestic or Residential: The domestic and residential consumption is expected to grow

with an increase in population, vertical growth of city, growth in per capita income and
changing lifestyle with regard increased usage of electronic gadgets. The trend shows an
increasing demand in this category. This growth trend is expected to continue.
Commercial: The commercial consumption is expected to grow with increase in GDP

growth in the Services sector and increased commercial activity. South Mumbai, being a
commercial area to a large extent, the demand growth is expected to continue growing at an
increasing YOY rate during the projection period.
Industrial: The industrial demand shows a decrease in the rate of growth. There has been a
decrease in Industrial (Low Voltage Connection) demand. This is primarily due to factors
like increased competition and industries moving out of BEST licensed area of supply to
places with lower real estate prices or cheaper labour source or fiscal incentives attached.
Others (Temporary Supply, Stand By, etc): The consumption in this segment has not
shown any significant change.
2.1. Operating performance
2.1.1. DISTRIBUTION LOSS
The petitioner would like to submit that the Hon’ble Commission had directed the
undertaking to carry out the study to segregate the Distribution Losses. The Undertaking
carried out in depth study of its network and also load flow study of its typical network and
arrived at technical losses of 7.52% and same has been informed to Commission vide our
letters dated 31st May 2006, 22nd August 2006, 31st August 2006 and 1st November 2006.
The Undertaking also attempted to compare the loss levels in the other cities in India from
the secondary sources (i.e. tariff petition and orders). It may be highlighted that the
distribution losses of BEST are one of the lowest in the country (except AEC). Comparison
of T&D (or AT&C) losses for different utilities in India is shown in the graph below.

Source: Individual tariff orders of the Commission. Depending of the availability of data
period under consideration is FY 2004-05 and FY 2005-06.
Normally, the distribution losses depend upon the voltage level of operations and compared
to the Ahmedabad which is a developing city, BEST has inherited a system which has large
low voltage component i.e. higher than 80% and considering the typical topography of
Mumbai, it would not be proper for BEST to force the consumers to go for HV supply for
segmental loads within a building even though the conditions of supply may require it. As
such, taking into consideration the large component of LV network, of the Undertaking's
technical losses are on the lower side. The number of measures which are instrumental in
reducing the technical losses i.e. prudent network design, quality assurance on equipments
vis-à-vis losses, optimum loading of the equipments have been adopted by the Undertaking
over the years and as such, the scope for reducing the technical losses further is very less.
The balance is commercial losses and Undertaking has been making intensified and
focused efforts for reduction of commercial losses which include following measures:-
• Adoption of monthly billing.
• Clearing the backlog of stopped and defective meters and thereafter ensuring
prompt replacement of defective meters.
• Replacement of electro magnetic meters by static meters in a time bound manner.
• Adoption of automatic meter reading methods etc.
We have informed the Commission about these proposed measures vide our letter dated
31st August 2006 and 1st November 2006.
BEST would again like to restate that it has achieved this performance (i.e. low level of
losses) through continuous network up-gradation and efficient operational practices. In its
licensed area of distribution, electricity is supplied through underground cables, which
generally results in lower loss levels. BEST licensee area has a low incidence of losses and
also the incidence of theft and tampering of the meters is less.
The Hon’ble Commission in the Tariff order for FY 2005-06 has approved the following
distribution losses:

In the ARR and Tariff Petition for FY 2006-07, BEST has proposed distribution losses of
12.4%. During the 3-year MYT period BEST proposes to reduce distribution losses
gradually and attain 11% by F.Y. 2009-10, at the end of the first control period of MYT.
For FY 2007-08 the distribution loss has been proposed at 12%, for FY 2008-09 at 11.5%
and FY 2009-10 at 11.0%. BEST requests the Hon’ble Commission to approve the
Distribution loss levels for the three year control period. Based on the above distribution
loss levels, the input energy required for the above three years is as given below:

Distribution Loss (%) 12.4% 12% 11.5% 11%
Table 3 Distribution loss forecast for 3-year control period
BEST would like to submit to the Hon’ble Commission that as per the existing practise
BEST is adopting bimonthly billing system and accordingly the loss levels are measured.
BEST has proposed these targets based on the realistic achievement of them under the
circumstances, future plan and the time frame in hand.
BEST would further like to submit to the Hon’ble Commission that BEST in the past with
its maximum endeavour had attempted to bring down the losses to achievable levels.
Therefore, the Commission would appreciate that the options for reducing the technical
loss level have more or less exhausted.
Further BEST would also like to submit that they are in the process of installing electronic
meters in place of mechanical meters. However, this is ongoing process which would be
completed in next five years. The reason for this progress is the fact that BEST has recently
installed electro-magnetic meters in number of premises, where it would be uneconomical
to immediately reinstall electronic meters in these premises where there is lesser
consumption and would have less impact on quantum of loss levels.
However, BEST would like to ensure and submit to the Hon’ble Commission that BEST
would continue its effort to reduce losses in coming years considering various limitations
and options.
3. Power Purchase
BEST procures power from the Tata Power Company Limited to meet its demand. The
receiving voltages for BEST are 110 kV and 22/33 kV. BEST had a power purchase
agreement with TPCL which is under renegotiation. Based on actual energy purchases for
FY 2004-05 and FY 2005-06 the expenses have been projected for April 2006 to March
2007. The same has been submitted in the ARR for FY 2006-07.
It may be noted that TPCL was billing BEST based on the principle agreed in the power
purchase agreement. However, subsequent to the tariff order issued by the Hon’ble
Commission dated 3rd October 2006, TPCL has started billing based on the directives
specified in the tariff order. Further, BEST would like to highlight the following points:
Order dt. 29th September-2006 on Determination of Transmission tariff for Intra-

state Transmission System (InSTS) for FY 2006-07 (Case no. 31 of 2006). The
Hon’ble Commission has incorporated annual transmission charges payable by
BEST to STU of Rs. 102.33 crores
Order dt. 16th August 2006 on Long term Development of Renewable Energy
Sources and associated Regulatory (RPS) Framework. A roadmap has been
provided regarding quantum of renewable energy to be procured by distribution
licensee.

The Hon’ble Commission vide its Order on ARR for F.Y. 2006-07 of TPC – G &
TPC -D have incorporated the following:
• Fixed charges for an amount of Rs. 162.59 Crores
• Energy charges for an amount of Rs. 1000 Crores for the energy allocated to
BEST
• Rebate due to usage of Hydro-peaking tariff for an amount of Rs. 42.64
Crores
• Stand-by charges payable to MSEDCL as specified in the TPC-D order for
an amount of Rs. 121.50 Crores
• Charges payable to TPC-D for supply of power from sources other than he
existing TPC – G plants for energy to be purchased over and above the
energy allocated for BEST
With regard to the point 5), BEST would like to submit to the Hon’ble Commission that
going forward BEST would endeavour to adopt a holistic power purchase plan for
meeting its energy and peak requirements. The power plan envisaged would be separate
for short to medium term, long term and for also procurement under RPO through
competitive bidding route. The petitioner would like to submit that BEST is in the
process of appointing consultant for carrying out the study on procurement strategy and
for the bid process management.
Meanwhile, since it is an uncontrollable expenditure for BEST, the petitioner has

projected power purchase cost based on the past trend and by adopting some escalation
factors/rates approved by the Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (CERC) for
the evaluation of bids.
The parameters for each component is as enumerated below:
a) Fixed charges payable to TPC - G
• Fixed charges payable to TPC-G is linked to the system demand forecast by

BEST. For FY 2006-07 the Hon’ble Commission has approved fixed cost of
Rs. 162.59 crores. BEST has projected the demand charges payable to TPC-
G are estimated at Rs. 2.04 crore per MVA.
• CERC has notified the annual escalation rates vide its notification dated 26th
October 2006. The notification specifies the annual escalation of 5.37% for
capacity charge component.
• BEST has projected the maximum non-coincident demand for each of the
years based on the load-factor of FY 2006-07 and then estimated the fixed
charges to be paid by BEST
The actual maximum demand as recorded on monthly basis for FY 2002-03 to

FY 2004-05 is given in the table below.

• The Hon’ble Commission has provided for rebate due to usage of Hydro-
peaking tariff for an amount of Rs. 42.62 crores for F.Y. 2006-07. BEST has
forecasted that there shall be no change in the allocation of rebate due to usage
of hydro-peaking tariff to Distribution licensees in Mumbai and has retained Rs.
42.64 crores only as rebate for each of the three years of the control period.
d) Charges payable to TPC-D for supply of power from other sources
BEST purchases all its power from TPC-G to meet its requirements. The Hon’ble
Commission in the tariff order of TPC –G for F.Y. 2006-07 has estimated 4352
MUs (ex-bus) of energy to be consumed by BEST, where as only 3684 MUs has
been allocated from TPC – G. All requirements beyond 3684 are to be purchased
by TPC –D from any other sources. BEST has projected energy requirements of
4375.85MUs in F.Y. 2007-08, 4507.93 MUS for F.Y. 2008-09 and 4654.82 MUs
for F.Y. 2009-10. BEST estimates that there shall be no change in the allocated
capacity from TPC – G to Distribution licensees in Mumbai region and all energy
requirements beyond 3684 MUs shall be arranged by TPC –D from other sources.
October 2006. BEST has considered an weighted average comprising of 30% to
be allotted to fixed charge component and 70% to be allotted to energy charge
component. The notification specifies the annual escalation of 5.37% for fixed
charges and 6.61% for energy in case of captive coal mine source. In such a
scenario the weighted average arrived is (0.3 * 5.37 + 0.7 * 6.61) = 6.24%

For FY 2006-07 BEST has projected expenses of Rs. 117.30 crores as submitted in our
ARR and Tariff petition for FY 2006-07 the Hon’ble Commission is requested to approve
the employee expenses.
The detailed assumption for working of employee expenditure for FY 2006-07 is provided
below:
• Salaries, wages and Allowance – Employee on the rolls of the Undertaking on 1st
April of the Budget year.
• DA – Calculated based on the last three years trend of the fixed average DA Index
i.e. Mumbai Consumer Price Index. In order to fix and adopt DA payable to staff
the data of last 3 years DA index is analysed to find out average monthly increase in
DA index and thereafter fixed DA index of future year is determined.
• Contribution to PF – Calculated on 12% of Basic Pay + DA
• Gratuity – Calculated on No. of staff to be retired. Initially it was charged to

General Administration and then allocated to supply & transport division.
• Cost of bus token & passes – Calculated at Rs. 189/- per person per month.
However, it has a contra effect it is also shown in the income of Bus Division.
• LTA – Calculated on basis of the Basic Pay on a grading scale.
For FY 2007-08, FY 2008-09 and FY 2009-10, BEST has projected expenses of Rs. 113.75
Crores, Rs.119.86 Crores and Rs.126.29 Crores. The detailed assumption for working of
employee expenditure for the control period is provided below:
• CERC has notified the annual escalation rates vide its notification dated 22nd
November 2006. The notification specifies the annual escalation of 5.37% for fixed
charge component.
• Since employee cost component relates to inflation and the system demand, BEST
has adopted this rate as specified by CERC for projecting the employee cost
payable for the next three years. However, it does not include impact of wage
agreement, if it takes place during the control; period, the same will be added at the
time of truing up exercise.
BEST would like to submit that the employee expenses of BEST are comparable and rather
lower than the other utilities in India. The comparison of utilities is shown in the graph
below.

Source: Individual tariff orders of the Commission. Depending of the availability of data
period under consideration is FY 2004-06.
BEST would also like to submit that if the cost towards outsourcing of work is included in
employee expenditure for other utilities, the employee cost would be even higher. This is
especially true for private utilities that rely heavily on outsourcing of activities. BEST
would like to submit that BEST has a long history of providing excellent services to its
consumer and is working under certain constraints. Traditionally, all the activities are
carried out internally and same culture is followed in BEST.
The petitioner would further like to reiterate that during the public hearing process, there
was a contention from authorized consumer’s representative that as compared to the
neighbouring utilities, the Undertaking has high employee expenditure ratio. It was
Undertaking’s contention, which was expressed during the public hearing that historically
the Undertaking has been carrying out all its activities ‘in house’ whereas the neighbouring
utilities may be adopting method of outsourcing for conducting some of their activities.
Moreover, it was mentioned that the carrying out the activities ‘in house’ results in
development of pool of skilled manpower which is useful in times of crisis such as deluge
on 26th July, 2005. When compared to the neighbouring utilities, the Undertaking was in
better position to restore the supply and repair the faults at the earliest and thus could give
better service to the consumers even in adverse situation due to adequate skilled manpower
at its disposal. The Commission had noted that the need for study of outsourcing adopted
by the licensees and had directed the Undertaking to conduct a study of its manpower
requirement by employing consultant. It was mentioned by BEST that this aspect of study
was under consideration by the consultant to be appointed for this. However, for
administrative reasons, this consultancy assignment has not come through. Meanwhile,
preliminary studies are carried out at our end and it is observed that there is a room for
outsourcing of non-core activities such as maintenance of telecommunication systems,
activities regarding refrigeration, air-conditioning being carried out for the entire
Undertaking by our Consumer Advisory Services Department may be outsourced. It is also
felt that the expenditure on activities of installation and maintenance of street lighting on
behalf of MCGM may need to be deleted from employee expenses as the income derived
from these activities, as the charges received from MCGM is shown as non-tariff income.
However, it is felt that it is essential to carry out core activities of distribution licensee ‘In
House’ as it ensures continuity of prudent and correct technical and administrative
practices and procedures and is instrumental in development of skilled manpower with core
competence for future which can not be developed overnight. We are studying this matter
further and would be reverting to the Commission shortly.
It is to mention that the Undertaking has ‘In House’ facilities for quality assurance where
each and every transformer and also other equipments are tested not only for electrical
characteristics but also for guaranteed losses and have a full fledged meter testing
laboratory where each and every meter is tested as per the Indian Standards before their
installation at consumer premises.
The Hon’ble Commission is requested to approve the estimated employee expenses for the
control period.
4.2.Administration and general expenses
These expenses include items such as rent rates and taxes, insurance, printing and
stationary, advertisement, etc. The grouping of expenses in the direct expenses heads
provide in the ARR formats is not identical with divisional income / expense statement in
the Administration report. Therefore, though the total aggregate expenses match in the two
cases; due to different classification used for each expense head in the ARR Formats /
Administrative Report, a head wise comparison is not possible.
n addition to the direct expenses attributable to the supply division, the general
administration expenses of the undertaking are allocated to the supply and the transport
division. The allocation of General Administration expenses for FY 2005-06 was carried
based on the criteria mentioned in the table below. The criteria were arrived by considering
the number of staff members employed, number of vehicles allotted etc.
Particulars Transport Supply
Security & Vigilance 75% 25%
Civil Engineering Department & 55% 45%

ITO
Timekeeping, personnel, welfare, 84% 16%

medical etc.
EDP Dept. 40% 60%
Legal, Audit, Cash & Accounts 50% 50%
However, BEST has decided to change the method of allocation of General Administration
expenses, except for activities relating to time keeping and security & vigilance (as both
these departments are functioning in each and every depot premises), from FY 2006-07 to
Supply & Transport division by applying the proportion of expenditure incurred by each
division..
A statement for working of allocation of G.A. expenses for FY 2006-07 is as given below

For FY 2007-08, FY 2008-09 and FY 2009-10, the assumption for working of A&G
expenditure for the control period is provided below:
• CERC has notified the annual escalation rates vide its notification dated 22nd
November 2006. The notification specifies the annual escalation of 5.37% for fixed
charge component. Since increase in the A&G expenses will be primarily due to
inflation index, BEST has adopted this rate as specified by CERC for projecting the
A&G cost payable for the next three years.
• Share of A&G expenses is also assumed to increase in a similar fashion.
The table below gives the details of the administration and general expenses directly
incurred and allocated to Supply Division) for the control period.

4.3.Repairs and Maintenance
The assumptions and working for Repair and Maintenance (R&M) are based on past
trends. The expense includes various heads such as repairs to buildings, re-instatement
charges, etc. The details of the expenses are given below.

**Additional provision of Rs.15.38 Crore has been added in FY 2006-07 since the actual
reinstatement charges for FY 2005-06 was Rs.18.38 as against budgetary provision of Rs 3
crores for the same year
BEST would like to highlight that MCGM has issued new levies towards Re Instatement /
cable laying charges for electrical cabling on BEST and other utilities in Mumbai area. The
new policy to this effect is applicable from March 14, 2005 and this has resulted in
increased R&M expenses over the last two years. BEST humbly submits to approve the
R&M expenses for each of the years of the control period.
For FY 2007-08, FY 2008-09 and FY 2009-10, BEST has projected expenses of Rs. 30.44
Crores, Rs.32.44 Crores and Rs.33.80 Crores. The detailed assumption for working of
R&M expenditure for the control period is provided below:
October 2006. The notification specifies the annual escalation of 5.37% for fixed
charge component. Since R&M component relates to inflation and the system
demand, BEST has adopted this rate as specified by CERC for projecting the R&M
cost payable for the next three years.
• Excess of reinstatement charges is not included in the analysis.
It is observed that the Reinstatement charges (R.I.) payable to MCGM form a major (i.e.
more than 85%) component of R&M changes. There has been a substantial increase in Re-
instatement charges in the recent past. These charges are mainly paid for the cable laying
schemes for system augmentation. BEST is conducting a comprehensive exercise to
segregate these R.I, charges into two categories, namely, R.I. charges related to Capital
expansion projects and R.I charges related to fault repairs that would be part of R&M
expenses.
BEST requests the Hon’ble Commission to allow it to re-submit the revised R&M expenses
so as to present the facts in proper perspective.
4.4.Rent expenses
BEST has decided to make recovery of rent in respect of premises occupied by Supply
branch in the Bus Depots and Bus Stations, because of the initial cost of acquisition of land
and the cost of construction of Depots wherein the Supply branch also uses all the assets at
these places. The area of premises occupied by the Supply branch in Bus depots & Bus
station and the rent charged to the Supply branch is as enumerated in Appendix-1. For FY
2006-07, the rent expenses to be paid by the Supply branch is Rs. 26.45 crores, as indicated
in our ARR and Tariff petition for F.Y. 2006-07.
For the three years of the control period the rent charges payable to Supply division shall
be escalated by the escalation charge considered in case of fixed charges related to power
purchase expenses. Hence, the rent charges shall be escalated by 5.37% for each of the
years.

The Hon’ble Commission is requested to approve the rent expenses payable to the
Transport division for each of the three years of the control period. BEST would humbly
submit to the Hon’ble Commission that BEST is gradually moving towards a commercial
oriented utility and hence commercial prudent practises should be instilled in its function.
4.5.Income tax
As per the Income Tax Act under Section 10(20), the income of local authority is
exempted. The said provision is reproduced as below:
10(20) the income of a local authority which is chargeable under the head
“Income from house property”, “Capital gains” or “Income from other sources” or from a
trade or business carried on by it which accrues or arises from the supply of a commodity
or services [(not being water or electricity) within its own jurisdictional area or from the
supply of water or electricity within or outside its own jurisdictional area].
(Explanation – For the purpose of this clause, the expression “local authority” means –
i) Panchayat as referred to in clause (d) of article 243 of the Constitution; or
ii) Municipality as referred to in clause (e) of article 243 P of the Constitution,
or
iii) Municipal Committee and District Board, legally entitled to, or entrusted by
the Government with, the control or management of a Municipal or local
fund, or
iv) Cantonment Board as defined in Section 3 of the Cantonments Act, 1924 (2

4.6.Capital Related Expenses
4.6.1. Capital Expenditure

BEST is undertaking major works for augmentation of its distribution network. The
investment is a part of the efforts of BEST to provide efficient and reliable electricity to its
consumers. The details of capital expenditure, for the previous year F.Y.2005-06, F.Y.

Table 10 Details of Capital Expenditure (figures in Rs. Crores)

BEST has submitted its projection for Capital expenditure for system augmentation for
adhering and implementing the reliability standards, meeting additional loads and
procurement & installation of electronic meters for ensuring adherence to CEA regulations
on meters. The expenses shown under Capital expenditure exclude the Re-instatement
(R.I.) charges payable to MCGM. Which are historically been shown under the head
Repairs & maintenance (R&M) expenditure and ideally should be booked under the head
Capital Expenditure. BEST is conducting a comprehensive exercise to segregate the R.I.
charges for capital jobs / schemes and R&M purpose such as fault repairs. We request the
Hon’ble Commission to allow us to resubmit the Capital expenses including the R.I.
charges so as to present the facts in proper perspective.
BEST would like to highlight that it does not have any practice of capitalising of Interest
during construction (IDC) and other related expenses to the assets, as generally done under
the Companies Act 1956The practice followed by BEST Undertaking for accounting of
capital expenses is as follows:
“The material cost is booked as per transactions registered value based on average cost of
the material purchased during the year. Labour cost is booked by considering basic + D.A.
of employees. Besides material and labour, indirect material cost is also booked at the rate
of 150% through labour cost statement i.e. Departmental Establishment Expenses (DEE).
This includes the payments of weekly off, holiday, leave pay, P.F., Gratuity, Transport
Expenditure, cost of bus token etc. The break up of 150% is given as under.

Share of general administration 22
Total 150
Table 11 Break up of 150% overheads (figures in %)
The Undertaking only accounts the base costs of the assets and apportioned overhead
expenses, as explained above.
Further, the general administration capital expenditure has been allocated between the
supply and the transport businesses based on allocation percentages derived from ratio of
expenditure incurred for the two divisions.
Several new capital expenditure have been planned in the 3-year control period, the major
plans being;
• Installation of Electronic meters and test benches as per CEA regulation
• Commissioning of new RSS and DSS for Textile mill development and for Dharavi
makeover plan.
For three years of the control period, BEST has projected the capital expansion that has
provisions for increase in energy consumption due to Textile mill land development and
Dharavi makeover plan envisaged by Govt. of Maharashtra. This additional demand shall
into system from F.Y. 2009-10, for which BEST envisages to undertake major expansion
of its distribution infrastructure in F.Y. 2007-08, 2008-09 and 2009-10. Scheme wise
details of proposed capital expenditure for 2006-07 are provided in Appendix 2.
The details of actual capital expenditure for the six months ended September 2006 for
2006-07 are as follows:

Table 12 Details of Capital Expenditure at actuals from April to September 2006 (figures in
Rs. Crores)
Over the years, there are well laid down procedures and parameters for preparation of
capital schemes for electricity distribution system. These are broadly classified in two
categories (1) to meet the bulk load and anticipated load growth (2) to remove the over
loads in the systems and to built up redundancy in the system in such a manner that in the
event of failure of any equipment /cable network, the supply can be restored promptly
without extended duration of Nil/ off supply. Apart from this network criteria, capital
schemes are also prepared for replacement of old and absolute equipments which have
completed their mere life and also to adopt new technology such as different circuit
technology, transformer technology and control technology such as SCADA etc.
The schemes thus prepared on the above guidelines are well documented. The schemes are
scrutinized by the senior officers of concerned department who have experienced in
relevant fields up to the level of Chief Engineers and Asst. General Manager (Electric
Supply).
The equipment procurement required for execution of the schemes is through a public
tender where normally most of the orders are placed on the lowest suitable offer with
satisfactory past performance. These tenders are scrutinized not only for technological
suitability but also for financial aspects by the in-house Audit and Accounts Depts. The
offer of tendering and procurement process is monitored by in-house Tender Committee
consisting of senior technical and financial personnel. Finally the tender for above 10 lacs
are approved by BEST Committee. As such there is total transparency in the procurement
process.
Schemes involving “Capital Expenditure” are prepared to meet the load requisitioned by
the applicants, as well as to take care of anticipated load growth by upgrading the system
parameters suitably. The execution of these capital schemes mainly depends on the
permissions from appropriate authorities such as, MCGM, for taking major excavations on
footpaths and carriage ways of roads, for laying underground cables. In addition to this, the
approval from MCGM authorities is also required for Building Plans for civil works, for
commissioning of new Receiving Stations and Distribution Substations and or extensions
and alterations to existing receiving stations and substations etc.
Some of the schemes which are planned for the year could not get executed for want of the
permissions from appropriate authorities. Also, sometimes, due to not availability of
equipments/ materials in time, due to non delivery of materials by Suppliers etc, the
execution gets delayed from the scheduled period. Hence, generally actual capital
expenditure differs with Budgeted Provision for capital works.
Generally in some of the Government Organizations due to non/insufficient capital

provision, execution of the capital scheme works gets deferred/ postponed. In order to
avoid such situation in our organization, the Undertaking makes budget provision at higher
side, for all the schemes to achieve required target of execution. The work generally never
gets postponed in the Undertaking for want of budget provision, unlike other organization.
In terms of project wise details on Capital Works in progress (CWIP) under the existing
practices of the undertaking the same are not readily available on a project level. CWIP
details are available on a consolidated basis and not on individual basis. For FY 2006-07,
complete details shall be available after the end of the financial year, however, projections
have been made for the MYT control period by assuming the same portion of works
capitalised as to the sum of opening CWIP and Capital Investments made during 2005-06,
which is 86.64%

institutions for F.Y. 2007-08 BEST shall raise loan of Rs. 100 crore and for F.Y. 2008-09
& F.Y.2009-10 loans shall be raised at Rs. 80.00 crore every year as on the first day of the
financial year. The proposed capital expenditure and the financing structure may please be
approved by the Hon’ble Commission.
4.7.Depreciation
Depreciation is charged on the basis of straight-line method, on the fixed assets in use at
the beginning of the year. The depreciation is based on the original cost, estimated life and
residual life.
The depreciation rates prescribed under the IT Act and /or life of the assets are used by
BEST. Most of the rates for depreciation are as per the tariff regulation. In some of the
cases and it is lower than the tariff regulation. The rates have been incorporated in the
Form 4. The method of computation of depreciation is provided as under
• The depreciation is worked out on straight line method.
• Life of the assets as provided in the Income Tax Act is generally adopted for
working out the depreciation on the assets pertaining to the Administration Division
of the Undertaking. In the case of Electric Supply Division, life as provide in the
Electric Supply Division life of the asset provided as per Electricity (Supply) Act,
1948, is generally adopted for working out the depreciation on the assets
• The depreciation is provided from the year in which the asset is acquired.
• Depreciation is provided on the acquisition / purchase cost of the assets after taking
into consideration the residual value of the assets which is estimated at 10% of the
acquisition / purchase cost
However for calculating the depreciated value of the asset to be scrapped / disposed off,
10% residual value need not be considered for determining the sanctioning authority.
Depreciated value = Acquisition cost/(Estimated service life of the asset as per the
Income Tax Act/ Electric (Supply) Act, 1948 ) * Unexpired life of the asset
There are certain assets in electric supply where depreciation rates adopted were changed in
1993-94. Therefore for any assets created / acquired before this period, the old depreciation
rates are applicable. However, if any asset is created or acquired thereafter, the new
depreciation rates are applicable. The changes in depreciation rate are as under
Particulars Rates prior 1993-94 Rates Thereafter

Building 1.8% 2%
Motor Vehicles 12.86% 11.25%
Machine Tools 4.5% 5%
Furniture 4.5% 5%

4.8.Advance against Depreciation.
The provision for advance against depreciation has not been claimed in the ARR.
4.9.Interest on long – term loans
BEST funds the capital expenditure primarily from its internal funds and partially from
external borrowings. BEST has taken public loans, MMRDA loans for the Mega-city
Project, DPDC loan and APDRP Loan.
DPDC had given the loan of Rs.3.83 Cr in the year 1997-98 to BEST for electric supply
and system improvement in slum and backward areas of Mumbai city.
BEST Undertaking incurred an expenditure of Rs.41.75 Cr. on the street lighting

improvement project of supply division which involved improvement of existing street
lighting arrangements by bringing illumination level on all roads to the prescribed standard,
redesigning existing street lighting arrangements, changeover of existing lamps and
lanterns from mercury vapour to sodium vapour, changeover from overhead supply to
underground cables and centralised control of street lighting etc. This expenditure was
reimbursed by MMRDA. MMRDA vide their letter dated 22.06.2004 has reduced the rate
of interest of institutional loan from 15% to 10% p.a.
The Ministry of Power, Government of India had launched the Accelerated Power
Development and Reform Programme (APDRP), with the objectives of improvement in
financial performance of the power sector and improving the quality of supply. The
financial assistance is also given to Electricity Boards/ Electricity Distribution companies,
for the power projects related to up-gradation and strengthening of sub-transmission and
distribution network including Energy Accounting and Metering. BEST undertaking is one
of the beneficiaries under the scheme. According to the scheme 50% of the project cost will
come from Government of India in the form of grant and loan (25% amount in the form of
grant and 25% amount in the form of loan). Remaining 50% of the project cost will be
arranged by beneficiary utility.

Table 20 Computation of interest on internal funds (figures in Rs. Crores)
The computation of the Interest on Internal Funds is based on the following methodology.
1. BEST proposes to claim 6% of return on 100% of the Internal Funds, as on the

opening date of each Financial Year, utilized in the supply division of the
undertaking.
2. BEST proposes to claim 6% of return on 50% of the incremental Internal Funds

utilized in the supply division of the undertaking in any Financial Year. The
incremental Internal Funds utilized being the difference of Internal Funds as on the
opening date of the Financial Year and the Internal Funds as on the closing date of
the Financial Year
3. The opening Net Fixed Assets for first Financial Year of the control period is
computed as under:
a. Opening Fixed Assets of the Supply division (as per Form 4)
b. Add: Opening Capital Work in Progress of the Supply division (as per Form
5.4)
c. Less: Opening Accumulated Depreciation Supply division (as per Form 4)
d. To arrive at the opening Net Fixed Assets for the subsequent Financial Year
in the control period, the petitioner has assumed the following:
• The sum of Capital Investment for that Financial Year plus the opening CWIP in that
year would be added to the opening Gross Fixed Assets, in the ratio of fixed assets
capitalized to investment sum of opening CWIP in FY 20005-06 (i.e. 86%).
• The closing CWIP is a result of opening CWIP plus capital investments during the
Financial Year net of work capitalized.
• The depreciation of the Financial Year is added to the opening accumulated

depreciation.
BEST humbly submits that in line with the section 76.1.3 of the of MERC (Terms
and Conditions of Tariff) Regulations 2005, any under recovery or over recovery of
Interest on Internal Funds on account of variation in the annual allowable capital
cost from the approved level shall be attributed to the same controllable or
uncontrollable factors as have been resulted in such capital cost variation. The same
may be accounted for in the Annual Performance Review.
4. The opening other assets is computed as under:
a. Opening Total Assets of the Supply division
b. Less: Opening Net Fixed Assets of the Supply division
However, as the Total Assets of the Supply Division cannot be forecasted, we have
in the petition assumed that the other fixed asset would remain the same as on 1st of
April 2006. BEST humbly submits that, any variation may be attributed as
uncontrollable in the Annual Performance Review.
5. Amounts Invested outside the Business – The petition assumes that the amounts as
on April 1, 2006 would remain constant throughout the period. BEST humbly
submits that, any variation thereof may be attributed as uncontrollable in the Annual
Performance Review.
6. Long Term Loans – The opening outstanding of various loans for the first control
period is based on the Revised Estimates for the FY 2006-07. Thereafter the
opening outstanding is forecasted for subsequent years of the control period by
accounting for new loans mobilized for the supply division and repayment of
existing / new loans in previous Financial Year. The detail of the resource
mobilization and scheduled repayments in each Financial Year in the control period
is provided in Form 5.1.
However, as the resource mobilization for the supply division is not firmed up,
BEST humbly submits that, any variation thereof may be attributed as
7. With respect to the Liabilities, BEST humbly submits that it would be difficult for
BEST to forecast the various items. Hence this petition assumes that the various
items shown as liability would remain constant at levels as on 1st of April 2006.
BEST humbly submits that, any variation thereof may be attributed as
4.12.2. Interest on Consumer deposits
The Hon’ble commission vide its Order dt. November 8, 2006 in regard to case no. 32 of
2006 has allowed Interest at the rate of 6% on consumer deposits. In this order, the Hon’ble
commission has approved Rs. 15.68 crore for FY 2004-05 and Rs. 11.70 crore for FY
2005-06.
For FY 2006-07 BEST has claimed interest on consumer deposit of Rs. 11.70 crores in its
ARR and Tariff Petition. In the ARR for F.Y. 2006-07, BEST has claimed Interest on
consumer deposits amounting to Rs. 194.92 crores as permitted under the Tariff
regulations.
For the remaining three years, even though there would be addition of new consumers in its
licensed area of distribution, BEST does not project any increase in consumer security
deposits amounts and proposes to retain the consumer security deposit amount of Rs.
194.92 crore for the remaining three years. However, the Hon’ble Commission may kindly
permit BEST to claim the interest on security deposit at actuals for each of the years of the
control period when annual performance review is submitted and the same may please be
trued at actuals.
The interest at 6% on consumer security deposit as projected for the three years is as given

poles owned by MCGM. The said charges are based on the
expenses of the Undertaking for providing and maintaining
streetlights and other public lighting on behalf of MCGM.
The rates are fixed on per lamp basis. These charges are
billed to individual wards of MCGM on monthly basis for the
no. of lamps in the system.
Sales Service - These are charges towards Electricity duty collected on behalf
Electricity Duty of Government of Maharashtra at a rate of Rs. 45 per 100
Collection Charges consumers.
Sales Service - This mainly consists of delayed payment charges(DPC) at a

Other Receipts rate of 0.5% per week in consumer electric bill. However, an
amnesty scheme has been introduced in 2006-07 and
therefore DPC has not been forecasted for the MYT control
period. In addition to this reconnection charges, cut out
charges, requisition charges, service call charges, checking
and testing of installation meters at the rate prescribed under
the schedule of miscellaneous charges
Hire and repair of The Undertaking is having consumer advisory and services
electrical department who deals with Repair and Maintenance of
appliances Electric Appliances given on hire to the officers of the
Undertaking as well as to the outside parties. The recovery
against the said maintenance charges is done as per the actual
expenses incurred by the Undertaking.
Miscellaneous This includes three heads i.e. Rent of building and land,
(Rent of Buildings, Advertisement receipts and other receipts.
Advertisement
1. Rent of building and land – This consists of the rent
Receipts)
recovery from the staff/officers who are occupying the
quarters of the Undertaking. The said rent is recovered
at a rate of 10% basic + DA. In addition to this there are
certain premises wherein shops allotted to the outside
parties. The rent of said shops shall vary as per the
location of the premises and offer given by the bidder.
2. Advertisement Receipts – This consists of
Advertisement Receipts received from highest bidder on
monthly guaranteed revenue on Kiosks i.e.
Advertisement on Street lighting poles.
3. Other receipts – This consists the discount on bulk
power purchase of electricity received from TATA, cash
discount received from various suppliers, penalty
recovered from the suppliers/employees etc. The account
head "Sales Service - Other Receipts" includes the
incentive amount on power purchased. The expenses in
Form 1 reflect net power purchase cost and therefore
incentive amount on power purchased has been reduced
from the Non Tariff Income (i.e. Form 11). Hence the
Non Tariff Income as per Form 11 and the figure in the
Administrative report differ to that extent.
Share of General This consists of share of General Administration Receipts
Administration. wherein interest on deposit and investment, sale of scrap
receipt material (net) rent of building and land, apprentice premium
received from the Government etc.
As regards the assets of Electric Supply Division, it is clarified that no assets of the Electric
Supply division are used for any other purpose and neither are the assets of the Electric
Supply division used for generating other income except street lighting poles which are
used for kiosks i.e. advertisement on street lighting poles. The rental charges of street
lighting poles are considered as non-tariff income
7. Cost-of-supply
The average cost of supply as submitted in the ARR and Tariff Petition for FY 2006-07 is
Rs.5.49 kWh. For the three years of the control period the cost of supply projected for each

2009-10 and the revenue at existing tariff for each of the years.
The Hon’ble Commission has revised the tariff structure of BEST vide its Supplementary
Order dated 26 September 2006. The Tariff income of BEST comprises of following three
components:
• Fixed income to be charged to consumers either on connection charges basis or on

the basis of demand measured in terms of KVA for the identified consumer
category
• Energy charges levied on the basis of energy consumption
• Reactive charges levied on the basis of power factor measured for the identified
consumer category
The projections of income for the above three components has been done based on the
following parameters.
a) Fixed charges: Fixed are levied to either on connection basis or on demand (in
kVA) basis
• Connection charges are levied on consumer categories like LF-1, LF-2,

LTP-1, C(D), E, T and TS®
• For LF-1category the increase in no. of meter has been projected at a 2% for
all the three years. 2% is the 5-year CAGR growth of energy consumption
units for the slab > 300 units in LF-1 category
• For LF-2 category, the increase in no. of meters has been projected at 2.48%
for all the three years. 2.48% is the 5-year CAGR growth of energy
consumption units for the slab 101 – 300 units in LF-2
• For LTP-1 category, the increase in no. of meters has been projected at
2.17% for all the three years. 2.17% is the 5-year CAGR growth of energy
consumption units in LTP-1 category
• For category C(D), E, T and TS(R) no income from fixed charges has been
projected
• For categories like LTC-1, LTP-2, SL, HTP-3, HTP-4 and HTP-5 fixed
income accrued on the basis of demand recorded at the installed meters. For
these categories the Demand has been projected on the basis of load factor
recorded across these categories in F.Y.2006-07. The diversity factor across
these categories is as given below:

consumption projected for all categories
c) Reactive charges: Income from reactive charges for all the three years has been
considered as that projected for F.Y. 2006-07. For tariff income computation all
the RkVah charges have been charged at Rs. 1.20 per RkVah unit

BEST proposes to adopt a tariff revisions plan wherein, for F.Y. 2007-08 a tariff structure
is proposed so as to bridge the revenue gap for F.Y. 2007-08 only. Later for F.Y. 2008-09
the same tariff structure as proposed for F.Y. 2007-08 shall be revised so as to bridge the
additional revenue by the incremental amount of Rs. 200.22 crore. Similarly, for F.Y.
2009-10 this Tariff structure as applicable for F.Y. 2008-09 shall be revised to the extent of
bridging the additional revenue gap by the incremental amount of Rs. 217.13 crore.
MERC has recently issued Conditions of Supply vide its order dated 3rd November, 2006.
As per these conditions of supply, the licensees are required to execute agreement with all
consumers with applied load below 50 kW, the application form (requisition) serves as the
agreement, whereas for all the loads exceeding contract demand above 50 kW, a separate
agreement is required to be executed. In our tariff proposal for LF-2, LTC-1, LTP-1 and
LTP-2 categories, above parameters of conditions of supply are incorporated.
a) The existing tariff schedule of the Undertaking has five tariff categories in HT
tariffs. It is proposed to rationalize HT tariff categories to two tariff categories as
follows :-
In the license area, there are a number of important defence installations with
their large residential complexes. It is, therefore, proposed to have a separate
HTP category meant for residential bulk defence consumption. Therefore, HT
tariff category under the heading HTP-Defence is proposed for above purpose
and rest of the existing HT categories are covered under HTP General category.
As such, this will be in line with the HT tariff categories with the neighbouring
utilities.
In the existing tariff schedule, there is disciplinary charge levied to consumers

on exceeding their contract demand. It is proposed to introduce in Sr. No. 3 of
the notes "Billing Demand" about such disciplinary charges. "If a consumer
exceeds his Contract Demand, the demand in excess of Contract Demand shall
be charged at the rate of 150% of the demand charges". It is also proposed that
"Demand Charges for those consumers who have not registered their Contract
Demand, will be applied on basis of their sanctioned load".
b) In our previous tariff, there was a tariff category 'Standby Tariff'. This tariff was
meant for standby supply utilized for fire fighting and dedicated supply purpose.
As per the statutory requirement, the supply for such installation is required to be
given from separate sources and adequate network capacity is required to be kept
spare for this purpose. Our network capacity to that extent is kept reserved for such
installation and can not be utilized elsewhere. As such, in our previous tariff
schedule, the billing for this tariff category was on the basis of connected load i.e.
sanctioned load and consumption if any and billing was on whichever was higher.
However, in MERC's Supplementary Tariff Order dated 26th September, 2006, this
tariff was clubbed with Temporary Supply (T) with billing based on connection
basis and consumption. As the applications of temporary supply and the above
standby tariff supply as described above are entirely different, we propose to re-
introduce this tariff as separate tariff category at Sr.No.12 with heading 'Standby
(SB)' in our Proposed Tariff Schedule.
c) The energy consumption data has been forecasted for the three years of the control
period as per the Tariff structure issued in the Supplementary order dt. September
26, 2006. The category T(Temporary) as existing in the prevailing tariff structure
has been split into two categories SB & T(Temporary) in proportion to the actual
consumption recorded for TS & SB categories in F.Y. 2005-06. The computation of
the proposed split of the prevailing T(Temporary) category is as given below:
Category F.Y. 2005- Ratio (in %) F.Y. 2007- F.Y. 2008- F.Y. 2009-
(MUs) 06 08 09 10
T(Temporary) 20.41 26.80 35.37

TS1 4.87 35.14%
SB2 8.99 64.86% 13.24 17.38 22.94
T(Temporary)3 7.17 9.42 12.43
Total 13.87
All the above changes are to be undertaken in the revised tariff structure shall be
applicable for all the three years of the control period.
a) Tariff Proposal for F.Y. 2007-08
The tariff proposal for F.Y. 2007-08 shall be so as to bridge the revenue gap of Rs. (- 809.
35) crore. The tariff income for F.Y. 2007-08 based on existing tariff is Rs. 1443.37 crore.
The proposed tariff shall be of
= Rs. 1443.37 – (-809.35) crore = Rs. 2252.72 crore
