They stated, “JKPDD has decided to construct 400/132 KV Sub Station at Kishtwar under TBCB mode, which will get supply from existing 400kV Dulhasti Kishenpur line and feed some present and upcoming load in the area.”
The sources said that the power scenario also generated questions about Central Public Sector Undertakings as “Project Management Agencies.”
An official referring to JPDCL and KPDCL in Jammu, Kashmir cited complete incompetence in handling the Restructured Accelerated Power Development and Reforms Programme (RAPDRP) that was sanctioned in 2011 at an estimated cost of Rs 1648 Cr.
“This was a reform scheme to contain AT&C losses. Over the last 11 years, they could only spend Rs 929 Cr that too under the supervision of PMAs; Feedback Infra in Kashmir and Louis Berger in Jammu. CPSUs were not engaged as PIAs for this scheme. The expenditure booked was less than Rs 90 Cr per annum. Due to the failure of the DISCOMS to complete the scheme in time, they have lost thousands of crores each year on account of huge AT&C losses. Given the previous track record in completing the project, it is impossible to expect them to handle and complete Rs.2800 Cr projects in each division in a time bound manner,” the official said.
