 Executive Summary
This report deals with the ‘Risk Management’ & ‘Cost Estimates & its Impact’ of
Rampur Hydro Electric Project (RHEP) 412 MW and Nathpa Jhakri Hydro Electric
Project (NJHEP) 1500 MW. Both projects are financed by foreign banks to a large extent.
RHEP includes tedious evaluation of various financial institutions’ offers to
fulfill the funds requirements of this project. The evaluation is done with the help of
latest capital budgeting techniques. Since these hydro electric projects generally take
long time and finance in their formation till execution; as a result it becomes very
difficult to determine the exact amount of funds required by the projects. Their financial
requirement is determined on the basis of estimates after detailed financial analysis.
The finance includes a great deal of debt from different financial institutions which
increases the risk. The Risk Management is done with the help of Cost Revision of the
estimates at regular interval of time. The Revised Cost Estimates helps in
determining future financial requirements and there by help in curbing the risk.
The impact of cost revision on applied funds, cost abstraction, COG and tariff
calculation has been explained in great detail in the project.

The later part of report covers the Risk Management of NJHEP with the help of
revised cost estimates (RCE I, II, III) at regular intervals of time along with currency
wise application of funds and impact of loan repayment & other expenditures in
tariff calculation. The reasons and different factors of variation in cost and its impact
along with difference between actual and estimated costs (Why & How additional cost
occurred in the project?) have also been discussed. Besides the social and economic
upliftment of the people in its vicinity, the 1500 MW NJHEP has been designed to
generate 6950.88 MU of electrical energy in a 90% dependable year with 95 %
machine availability. Both NJHEP & RHEP have ushered in the social and economic
up-liftment of the persons living in the vicinity of the Project i.e. of society at large.

 Objective Of The Study
The hydel projects are time consuming projects and involve a lot of money and time from
completion till execution; therefore there is always a huge financial risk. The future is
uncertain and estimation of cost adds to the risk. Therefore the objective of the study is to
determine and learn the process of cost estimation, cost revision, risk management in the
company and there by seek answers for the following questions:
 How the offer of the various financial institutions is being evaluated?
 What is the impact of Cost Revision?
 Why Cost Variation Occurs?
 Why additional cost occurs after every revision?
 What is the difference between actual & estimated cost and why it occurs?
 How the risk of the debt/loan is managed?
 What is the relationship between time, risk and cost?

 Research Methodology
In the projects the data collection and research is done with the help of various methods.
The data collection includes:
 Primary Method:
 Direct Personal Interview: The members of the corporate planning
department of the company were interviewed relating to facts, findings and
financial analysis.
 Secondary Method:
 Published Reports: The DPR of RHEP and NJHEP published by
the company consist of cost estimates and initial cost, used for revision.

The data analysis is done with the help of capital budgeting techniques such as NPV,
IRR, and Profitability index. The other methods include Cost/Benefit Ratio, Ranking
Methods and Graphical methods such as pie charts, tables, bar charts, area charts for
effective evaluation, projection and decision making.

 Introduction/ About SJVNL
The Satluj Jal Vidyut Nigam Limited – SJVN (formerly Nathpa Jhakri Power
Corporation Limited - NJPC ) was incorporated on May 24, 1988 as a joint venture of the
Government of India ( GOI ) and the Government of Himachal Pradesh (GOHP) to plan,
investigate, organize, execute, operate and maintain Hydro-electric power projects. The
present authorized share capital of SJVNL is Rs.4500Cr.

The Nathpa Jhakri Hydro – Electric Project – NJHEP (1500 MW) was the first project
undertaken by SJVNL for execution. In addition to the financial assistance from the
World Bank, SJVN has also been financed as loan by a Consortium of European
Banks, the Power Finance Corporation (PFC) and various domestic commercial
banks.

Besides NJHEP, the present hydro project is RHEP (412 MW) and future projects to be
undertaken by SJVNL are Luhri Hydro Electric Project (LHEP 700 MW), Khab Hydro
Electric Project (KHEP 636 MW), Devsari Hydro Electric Project(DHEP 300MW),
Jhakol Sankri Hydro Electric Project(JSHEP 33 MW).

Besides the social and economic upliftment of the people in its vicinity, the 1500 MW
NJHEP has been designed to generate 6950.88 MU of electrical energy in a 90%
dependable year with 95 % machine availability. It is also providing 1500 MW of
valuable peaking power to the Northern Grid. Out of the total energy generated at the bus
bar, 12 percent is supplied free of cost to the home state i.e. Himachal Pradesh. From the
remaining 88% energy generation, 25% is supplied to HP at bus bar rates. Balance power
has been allocated to the beneficiary states / UTs of Northern Region by Ministry of
Power, Government of India.

Besides above, indirect benefits have also accrued to the region by way of increase in
agriculture and industrial production. In addition, the project has provided gainful
employment to a large number of skilled and unskilled workers and has also opened
the landlocked hinterland by providing essential facilities such as schools, hospitals

etc. for the people of the area. Thus, 1500 MW NJHEP has ushered in the social and
economic up-liftment of the persons living in the vicinity of the Project i.e. of society at
large.

The above diagram shows depicts the comparison in the cost of generation for 35 years
before and after revision. The cost of generation (paise /unit) follows the same pattern
even though there is increase in the COG after cost revision.
Notes:
A: It shows the decline in the cost of generation from 11th year. The cost of generation
includes payment of interest on loan from 1-10 years.
B: It shows the period from 11-20 years
C: There is increase in the COG of electricity as there is no refund of the depreciation
amount which results in the COG escalation.

revision. The Tariff (paise /unit) follows the same pattern even though there is increase in
the COG and Tariff after cost revision.
Notes:
 A: It shows the decline in the cost of generation results in the decrease in
Tariff/unit from 11th year. The cost of generation includes payment of interest on
loan from 1-10 years.
 B: It shows the period from 11-20 years
 C: There is increase in the COG of electricity as there is no refund of the
depreciation amount which results in the COG escalation, ultimately results in the
Tariff/ unit to be charged from the consumers.

 Benefits of RHEP 412 MW
 On completion, the project will generate approximately 412 mw of power and
1770 GWh of electricity in a 90% dependable year.
 The Power generate by RHEP will feed the Nothern Indian Energy Grid,
directly benefiting consumers in the state of north India and improving
availability of power at reasonable cost.
 Sale of power will provide the state of Himachal Pradesh with a royalty
benefit of 12% of the power generated; equivalent to $10 million each year in
addition to state share in the plant’s dividends.
 Nathpa Jhakri Hydro-Electric Project (NJHEP) is one of the most eco-friendly
Projects in the country. Being run of the river project, it has minimum impact
on ecology of the area and least disturbance to flora and fauna.
 This project will generate in to Northern Region Grid about 7,000 GWh of
electricity each year. In doing so, it will delay the necessity of the
construction of either coal or gas fired thermal plant of the same capacity, and
will thus hugely reduce India’s green house gas emissions and positively
impact on India’s global warming effect.

The above area chart shows the net tariff for the next 35 years (starting from the year
2003-04) to be charged from the public for the electricity to be provided to them. The
first 10 years of tariff calculation includes major payments such as interest on loan,
depreciation (actual & advanced) & other energy charges. The tariff from the 11th year
onwards (although declined) shows some escalation due to increase in the cost of project
as the time progress. The cost of project increases by 4% compounded annually thereby
resulting in increase in the net tariff.

The area chart shows the impact of different cost revisions on initial cost of project made
at different period of times. The initial cost of the project was Rs.1678 Cr. at 1989 which
increases to Rs.8563Cr. after Revised Cost Estimates III(RCEIII) at 2003. First revision
of the cost estimates was done in March 1993. The project took a long time in its
completion that it required two more cost estimates revision (RCE II in june 1998 & RCE
III in 2002), so as to determine the adequacy of the funds available for the NJHEP
project. The civil works component shows successive increase in its cost to completion.
The Interest During Construction (IDC) has shown almost twice increase after second
Revised Cost Estimates. The reasons for delay in the project have been explained in the
‘problems faced in the project’ section of the report.

PARTICULARS

The above chart shows the component wise additional fund requirements of the NJHEP
project, which arises after RCE-III was made and was compared with RCE-II. The main
reasons for the additional fund requirement were :
 Provision of raising the Dam Height.
 Increase in the Interest During Construction (IDC) due to variation in the interest
on loan(VSL Scheme is used).
 Additional safety measures against damages due to floods.
The major civil and establishment works were almost completed before RCE-III. The
task was completed economically thus resulted in the savings of Rs179.3Cr from the fund
allocated for civil and establishment works.

REASONS FOR VARIATION

The bar chart shows the component wise variation in their respective cost, which results
in the provision for additional funds for the NJHEP project to complete after RCE-III.
The O-Y axis shows the percentage (%) cost variation of each component, where as the
bars depict the amount in which the variation occurs after RCE-III. The components
which show negative variation are either completed in less than the allotted or estimated
amount or have been over estimated in the RCE-II. The positive variation shows either
inadequacy of the funds allocation i.e underestimation of the funds requirements during
RCE-II which resulted in the need for the additional funds for the project to complete.

Rs/Cr. The fiscal reasons include escalation in cost, Fixed cost variation and statutory
duties, whereas the others include quantity variation and unforeseen/ additional works. In
each component there is unforeseen works and quantity variation i.e under estimation
during RCE-II. The Fixed cost and cost escalation (fiscal reasons) shows decline i.e over

 Problems/ Challenges In The Implementation Of The Project/(s)
 Because of Fragile Geology and steep slope, soil erosion rate is high during
snowmelt.
 River blockade on account of avalanches and land slides are common because of
steep banks.
 When these blockades give away, flash floods are caused and silt concentration
increases because of increased erosion, dealing with the surge shaft during floods
was a great challenge.
 The floods effected for three years i.e till 2001 and bridges, new machines were
washed away.
 Damages of turbines, apparatus, runners and to the other under water parts due to
excess (>4000 ppm) silt in the water.

48 / 68
 Remedial Measures
 Hard coating on under water parts and procurement of coated spare runners with
latest coating.
 Raising of Dam height.
 Defining the upper limit of silt for power generation.
 Construction of additional Dam and diversion tunnel in the main Satluj river to
divert excess water up to 1000 cu m.
 Weekly flushing of reservoir for minimizing silt entry into power outlets.
 Other Safety Measures:
♠ A separate Safety Department is functional at the Project. SJVN had
already enrolled as a corporate member of the National Safety Council
(NSC) and availed of the pertinent safety related information, manuals and
literature from the NSC for educational use and implementation.
♠ Safety related training programmes have also been organized in
consultation with NSC.
♠ Awareness about safety aspects within and outside the plant areas of the
Project are also imparted by the use of audio-visual methods, including,
banners, posters, etc

The net profit from NJHEP is increasing as the project is now serving the nation by
providing 1500 MW power to the Northern Grid. The net profit from the project is
becoming a good source of funds in the form of retained earnings, thereby reducing the
dependence of the firm on the outsiders.

 200 bedded hospital at Rampur.
 Planted 1.8 lakh saplings for environmental upgradation.
 Extention of educational & Hospital facilities at project area to the local people.
 Construction of helipad at Rampur.
 Water services (Rs.2.26Cr), health services (Rs.2Cr mobile health van) for the
local people.
 Cash compensation to the landless families and compensation to build up houses.
 Construction of English Medium School (DPS Rampur).
 A compensation of Rs.5.45 Cr distributed to the local residents whose houses
were destroyed due to blast activities.
 SJVNL has spend Rs.2.26 Cr on infrastructural development works in project
affected areas, where assistance is provided for community development
buildings, school rooms, roads, play grounds etc.

51 / 68
 Limitations Of The Study

 The methods of financial analysis and decisions NPV, IRR and profitability
Index, although are latest but doesn’t take into consideration the qualitative
aspects of the projects.
 The cost benefit analysis doesn’t take into account IDC, which has a huge
percentage of total cost; therefore selection of the financial institutions can’t be
treated as the economical.
 The future is uncertain, therefore the proposed benefits from the projects can’t be
taken as granted.

52 / 68
 Recommendations

 The implementation should be done as quickly as possible, otherwise the delay

will ultimately increase the overall cost of project.
 The projected tariff should be revised regularly as per cost changes, rather than
fixing the cost for the next 35 years.
 The safety measures should be monitored at regular interval of the time so as to
avoid further increase in the cost of the project.

53 / 68
 Conclusion

The Hydro power projects play an important role in reducing the burden on thermal
resources of producing the electricity. The two projects; NJHEP and RHEP played an
important role in the social and economic upliftment of the people in their vicinity
besides generating 1500 mw and 412 mw powers.

The financial activities undertaken such as Cost Revisions, Comparative financial

analysis, Capital Budgeting ( NPV, IRR, Profitability Index), Tariff calculation and
projection for 35 years helps in determining further financial requirements, economical
selection of financial institutions for the funding purpose, Net Tariff/KWH etc
respectively. These financial activities also help in forming relationship between time and
money. The cost revision at regular interval of time just depicts the increase in cost as the
time progress. The project (NJHEP) was delayed in its completion due to floods at
regular intervals of time. The huge loss suffered and delay in execution thus resulted in
increase in cost of project almost by 9 times (Rs1678Cr to Rs9168Cr).

The short and long terms measures outlined in the paper, when fully implemented,
will greatly enhance power generation and minimize damage in all projects.These
projects have huge benefits such as infrastructural development works, resettlement
and rehabilitation activities undertaken in this project is quite rare in India and are
considered as one of the best examples of resettlement implementation in Bank
Assisted projects in India.

Definitions
 Agency Fee: A type of internal cost that arises from or must be paid to, an agent
acting on behalf of a principal. Agency cost arises because of the core problems
such as conflicts of interest between shareholders and management. Agency costs
are inevitable with in the organization whenever the principals are not completely
in charge, the cost can be used to provide material incentives to the agents.

 Back Fee: The Premium charged upon the second term or portion of a compound
option. The back fee is the fee paid by the owner of a compound option to the
owner of the underlying option, when the compound option is exercised.

 Bus Bar Cost: The cost per kilo watt to produce electricity, including the cost of
capital, debt service, maintenance and fuel. The Power plant bus or bus bar is that
point beyond the generator but prior to the voltage transformation point in the
plant switch yard.

 Commitment fee: A charge by a lender for holding credit available for a

borrower. A fee lenders charge their borrowers for unused credit or credit that has
been promised at a specified future date. It is different from interest. A lender
charges a borrower a commitment fee to keep a line of credit open or to guarantee
a loan at a certain futire date even though the credit is not being used at that
particular time.

 Currency Hedging: It is used both by financial investors to reduce the risk they
encounter when investing overseas as well as by non financial actors in the global
economy for whom multi-currency activity is a necessary evil.

 Frond End Fee: The premium charged upon the initial purchase of a compound
option. In other words, the front end fee is what it costs to acquire a compound
option. If a compound option is exercised, a second payment must be made.

 Guarantee Fees: Fees Charged by mortgage backed securities (MBS) providers

to lenders for bundling, servicing, selling and reporting MBS to investors. The
main component of the guarantee fee is charged to protect against credit related
losses in the mortgage portfolio. This allows the corporations selling the MBS to
make a profit, while benefiting both mortgage lenders and borrowers by making
groups of mortgages more marketable and liquid.

 Hedge: Making an investment to reduce the risk of adverse price movements in
an asset. Normally a hedge consists of taking an offsetting position in a related
security, such as future contract.

 Hedging Cost: It is the cost incurred to overcome from the risk of fluctuations in
the currency rate.

 Lender’s IRR: The discounting rate that makes net present value equal to zero is
called the IRR or yield to maturity.

 Line of credit: An arrangement between a financial institutional (usually a bank)

and a customer establishing a maximum loan balance that the bank will permit the
borrower to maintain.

 Margin Spread: A type of option that derives its value from the difference
between the prices of two or ore assets. Spread options can be written on all types
of financial products including equities, bonds & currency.

 Vertical Spread: An option trading strategy with which a trader makes a

simultaneous purchase and sale of two options of the same type that have the
same expiration dates but different prices.

 Yield to maturity: It is used in investment choice. If the required rate of return is

not lower than the IRR of the investment, then investment should be realized.

Annexure: RHEP LIBOR

LIBOR stands for "London Inter-Bank Offered Rate." It is based on rates that
contributor banks in London offer each other for inter-bank deposits. From a bank's
perspective, deposits are simply funds that are loaned to them. So in effect, a LIBOR is a
rate at which a fellow London bank can borrow money from other banks. Rate
calculations are complex as they incorporate variables such as time, maturity and
currency rates. There are hundreds of LIBOR rates reported each month in numerous
currencies.

Rate Adopted: 5.38%
