1. IMPORTANT DEVELOPMENTS:

1.1 Capacity Addition in Generation:

i. Thermal capacity of 2586.10 MW has been added during the month of May, 2014 after commissioning of Ramgarh CCPP / STG (50 MW) by
RRVUNL in Rajasthan; Kalisindh TPP, U-I (600 MW) by RRVUNL in Rajasthan; Derang TPP, Unit-1 (600 MW) by JIPL in Odisha, Dhuvaran
CCPP, Unit-I, (376.10 MW) by GSECL in Gujarat; Sasan UMPP, Unit-4 (660 MW) by SPL in Madhya Pradesh and Dhariwal TPP, Unit-2 (300
MW) by Dhariwal Infrastructure Ltd. in Maharashtra.

iii. No Nuclear capacity has been added during the month of May, 2014.

1.2 Transmission Addition:

In the transmission sector, stringing of 1395 ckt. Kms. of transmission lines have been completed during the month of May, 2014 against the MoU
target for stringing of 7000 ckt. Kms. fixed for the financial year 2014-15.

1.3 Electricity Generation:

i. The electricity generation in the country during the month of May, 2014 was 89,662 Million Units (MUs) as against 84,350 MU during the
corresponding month of the year 2013, showing a growth of 6.30%. Thermal generation in May, 2014 increased by 6.52%, Nuclear generation
has increased by 5.29% and Hydro generation also increased by 6.76% over same month last year. Overall electricity generation was
103.56% of the programme for the month.

ii. The actual electricity generation from nuclear plants during the month was 9.79% more than the programme for the month. Coal based
generation has a growth rate of 8.63% but Lignite based generation has a negative growth of 1.46% and the Gas based (including Liquid fuel)
generation has also a negative growth rate of 15.97% as compared to last year same month mainly on account of decreased gas output from
KG-D6 and also higher cost of alternate fuel.

iii. Plant Load Factor:- All India % PLF during the month of May, 2014 was 68.15% against the target of 67.43% fixed for May, 2014. The PLF for
the Central Sector, State Sector, Private Sector (IPP) and Private Sector (Utilities) plants were 78.15%, 60.45%, 66.56% and 72.94%
respectively.

3. FUEL ISSUES:

3.1 Coal Supply:

i. Domestic Supply:

The overall coal stock position, which was 17.99 Million Tonne as on 1st May, 2014 decreased to 15.42 Million Tonne (MT) as on 29th May,
2014. In comparison to 1st May, 2014, the number of critical power stations (having less than 7 days of coal stock) increased from 22 to 28
and the number of super critical stations (having less than 4 days of coal stock) increased from 14 to 20. The average coal stock at power
stations was for 11 days of generation against the normative requirement for 21 days.

ii. Import of Coal:

To bridge the gap between demand for coal and its domestic supply as well as to build reasonable stock of coal, an import target of 54 Million
Tonne (MT) coal for the year 2014-15 has been assigned to the Power Utilities in the country, for the plants designed on domestic coal. In
addition, coal import requirement in respect of power stations designed on imported coal was assessed as 40 MT. The provisional import of
coal by the Power Utilities during the year 2014-15 (Up to 31st May, 2014) was approximately 14.516 MT.

3.2 Gas Supply ( for Month of May 2014)

Gas supply to power sector from KG-D6 has been zero since April, 2014 whereas APM, Non-APM and RLNG gas supply to power sector has been
approximately 26.39 mmscmd.

(ii) State / Progress of Environmental Clearance / Forest Clearance issues

(A) Issues pertaining to Environment / Forest Clearances

1. Forest Clearances pending due to reconstitution of Standing Committee of National Board of Wildlife (NBWL):

Reconstitution of Standing Committee of the NBWL pending since September, 2013; following 2 lines are critical:

SI. Name of the Brief status of the Brief history of issues pending with MoEF
No. Project / project
Location

1. Gwalior - Jaipur Under Construction Proposal for GIB Sanctuary discussed in SBWI meeting on July 29, 2013 at Bhopal.
765 KV S/C line (Project linked with Proposal forwarded to MoEF on 25.09.13 for recommendations of NBWL. Term of Standing
27.47 ha, (Madhya Odisha (Part-C) IPPs) Committee of NBWL expired. The meeting shall take place only after reconstitution of the
Pradesh) Committee.

2. Kishenpur-New Under Construction Proposal discussed and recommended in SBWL meeting on 25.07.2013. Proposal
Wanpoh 400 KV (Northern Region) forwarded to MoEF on 06.01.2014 for recommendations of NBWL. The meeting shall take
D/C Line 2.35 ha (System Strengthening place only after reconstitution of the Committee.
(J&K) Scheme - XVI)

2. Requirement of Certificate concerning compliance under Forest Right Act (FRA), 2006

MoEF circular linear projects such as transmission lines have been exempted from FRA stipulations requiring No Objection Certificate (NOC) from 100%
Gram Sabha. This has been done on pursuance from MoP wherein it was clarified that for construction of transmission line being over-head through any land
area (including forest areas wherever involved) as only Right of Way (RoW) is involved and there is no physical land encroachment except for Tower
construction. Also since the line lengths being typically large and so covering typically large length of several districts in a State, obtaining NOC from every
Gram Sabha may not be practicable.

However, MoEF circular requiring the above exemptions to be processed as per stated formats has led to a confusion wherein the Competent Authority -
District Collector - is interpreting the circular - as if the exemption has been withdrawn. Therefore they are again treating transmission line as non-linear
project and so requiring FRA clearance as for non-linear projects which clearly is against the said circular. MoEF needs to clarify the situation through an
OM to all concerned.
