OP No 36/2023
In the matter of : Approval of Cost Data and per KVA rates
for Distribution Works
Petitioner : Kerala State Electricity Board Limited
(KSEB Limited)
Petitioner represented by : 1) Rajan M.P, Dy CE, TRAC
2) Rajesh R, AEE, TRAC
1. Kerala State Electricity Board Limited (herein after referred to as the petitioner or
KSEB Limited) has filed a petition on 21.03.2023 as per the provisions of Kerala
Electricity Supply Code 2014 for the approval of the cost data for the distribution
works for the year 2023-24 for the recovery of expenditure under Section 46 of the
Electricity Act 2003. The summary of the petition filed by petitioner is as hereunder.
(a) As per the Regulation 33(1) of the Supply Code, 2014, KSEB Ltd shall annually
obtain approval of the Commission for cost data of materials and work for
recovery of expenditure under Section 46 of Electricity Act 2003. The
Commission vide order dated 27.04.2018 in OA No. 17 of 2017 had approved the
cost data for the FY 2018-19 based on DSR 2016. The Government of Kerala
vide order dated 22.12.2019 had decided that the estimates for all public works
being executed through all Engineering Departments, PSU’s and Accredited
Agencies shall be prepared based on DSR 2018 rates of each item plus
applicable cost indices effective from 1.4.2020 onwards. Thereafter, the
Government vide GO dated 26.6.2020 deferred the implementation of DSR 2018
and ordered to continue with DSR 2016. Later on, Public Works Department of
Kerala vide Circular dated 09.09.2021 has published the cost indices to be
applied while preparing estimates based on DSR 2018 and informed that DSR
1
2018 would be mandatory for all estimates with effect from 15/08/2021 based on
Government order dated 13/08/2021.
(b) The inflationary trend in the economy does have its impact in the cost of labour
and materials in the Electricity Sector. In accordance with the Government order,
the labour rates of distribution works were revised in accordance with DSR 2018
applying revised cost index. The methodology followed in estimation of cost data
approved by KSERC on 27.04.2018 is generally followed this time also.
However, standardization of works and materials under distribution sector had
been undertaken this time. The methodology followed by the KSEB Ltd in arriving
at the cost data is as follows
Standard Rate of Distribution Materials: In the prevailing cost data 2018, the rate
of materials had been taken as the rate arrived based on the centrally procured
items of the Board for the year 2015-16 duly certified by the Chief Internal
Auditor. In the case of items not purchased internally, the rate approved the
Commission in the earlier order dated 20.05.2016 was taken for estimation. In
the present case, the Board had constituted a Material Rates Determination
Committee to formulate a guideline for arriving at standard material rates and to
review and update the material rates based on suggested methodology. The
committee had suggested to take the weighted average of purchases made by
different offices and to provide priority on purchases depending upon the
procurement authority as well as year of delivery. The rates arrived by the
committee have been taken for preparation of the cost data. For transformers
and RMU’s, latest rates of purchase of these items had been taken for
preparation of the cost data.
2
Transportation charges: In cases where basic data is not available, transportation
cost is arrived by applying inflation in the earlier approved transportation charges
of the prevailing cost data. In other cases, transportation charge had been
arrived based on the rates taken from DSR 2018.
(c) Per KVA Rates: As per clause 4(13) of Electricity (Right of Consumers) Rules
2020 notified by the Central Government, for electrified areas up to 150 KW or
such other higher load as the Commission may specify, connection charges shall
be fixed on the basis of load, category of connection sought and average cost of
connection of the distribution licensee. In compliance to the above, a
methodology for arriving at the per KVA rates had been formulated. The
methodology was to use the past actuals to average out the costs applicable.
Accordingly, details of service connections/services provided during the period
from 01.06.2018 to 31.03.2020 were considered for assessing the nominal
values. The percentage of connections with weather proof alone, with support
pole, with pole insertion, stay, strut, OH line etc had been taken and the presently
arrived cost data values had been applied on the same for arriving at the per
KVA rates.
(2) The Commission admitted the petition as OP No. 36/2023. After detailed scrutiny
of the petition, the Commission vide letter dated 22.06.2023 directed KSEB Ltd to
submit certain clarifications/additional documents.
(3) In response this, the petitioner has submitted an additional submission and a
reply on the observations of the Commission on 14/07/2023. The transportation
charges for most of the items have been reduced in the revised submission. The
estimates for drawing High Tension Aerial Bunched Cables (HT ABC) and Low-
Tension Aerial Bunched Cables (LT ABC) have been revised considering the
latest purchase order costs of the HT & LT ABC. The per KVA rates were also
revised.
(4) The petitioner has prayed the Hon. Commission to kindly approve the revised
cost data and the per kVA rates for recovery of expenditure under section 46 of
Electricity Act, 2003. It was also requested to authorize them to collect the
applicable GST from consumers based on the orders issued by the Government
in this behalf from time to time.
(5) Copy of the petition was made available in the website of the Commission and
also in the website of KSEB Ltd. Further an abstract of the petition was published
in dailies for the information to the public. The public hearing on the petition was
conducted at Commissions headquarters on 13/12/2023 on hybrid mode.

(7) Analysis and Decision of the Commission
(a) Section 46 of the Electricity Act, 2003 empowers the distribution licensee to
charge from a person requiring supply of electricity, any expenses reasonably
incurred in providing any electric line or electrical plant used for the purpose of
giving that supply. Regulation 33 of the Kerala Electricity Supply Code, 2014
stipulates that the licensee shall obtain from the Commission annually, approval
5
of the schedule of rates for recovery of such expenditure. The Regulation 33 of
the Kerala Electricity Supply Code, 2014 is extracted below.
“33. Approval of Cost Data by the Commission: (1) The licensee shall submit
once in a year, a proposal to the Commission for approval of the cost data of the
rates of materials and work at which the expenses as per Section 46 of the Act is
to be recovered by the licensee. (2) The licensee shall publish such proposal in
its web site and publish an extract in one Malayalam daily and one English daily
having wide circulation in the State, as directed by the Commission. (3) The
Commission shall, after conducting a public hearing on such proposal, scrutinize
the proposal, determine the reasonable rates of material and labour and approve
cost data with or without modification. (4) The cost data approved by the
Commission shall be published in the web site of the licensee and it shall be valid
for at least one year from the date of its issue. Provided that the Commission
may, on the request of the licensee, enlarge the period of validity of the cost
data.”
(b) The Commission made detailed scrutiny of the revised proposal submitted by
KSEB Limited, comments/views expressed by various stake holders during the
public hearing on 13/12/2023, written comments of various stake holders and the
various representations received to the Commission. The observations of the
Commission are summarized below
(c) The Commission has approved the rates of drawing of different types of Aerial
Bunched Conductors vide order dated 1.7.2015 in O.P No 4/2015 and the Cost
Data of other works vide order dated 27.04.2018 in O.A No 17 of 2017. The
Commission noted that the Cost Data for drawing Ariel Bunched Cables were
released 8 years back and the Cost Data of other works 5 years back.
(d) In the approved Cost Data for 2018-19, the rates of materials were arrived based
on the rates of materials centrally procured by KSEB Limited during 2015-16
certified by the Chief Internal Auditor, KSEB Limited and the labour rates were
arrived based on Delhi Schedule of Rates 2016 multiplied by the Cost Index
prevailing then published by Chief Engineer (Administration), Kerala Public Works
Department. In the present petition filed for approval of Cost Data, KSEB Limited
has adopted the standard rates of distribution materials arrived by a committee
constituted for the purpose. Standard rates were arrived by taking the weighted
average of different purchases made at various levels of KSEB Limited giving
priority for purchases depending upon the procurement authority as well as the
year of purchase. The labour rate for the present petition is arrived based on Delhi
Schedule of Rates 2018 multiplied by the latest Cost Index published by the Chief
Engineer (Administration), Kerala Public Works Department.
6
(e) The Commission has observed that there is considerable inflation during the
period from April 2018 to December 2023. The All-India Consumer Price Index
has increased by 38% during the period. Commission has verified the rates of
high value items of materials in the proposal with the Purchase Orders issued by
KSEB Limited and noted that there is considerable increase in the prices of
certain materials used for distribution works. The price of one 8 metre poles has
increased by around 24 %, prices of ACSR conductors has increased by 21% to
26%, prices of Distribution transformers has increased by 45% to 91% and Ring
Main Units by 110 % to 132%. The increase in prices is due to inflation as well as
change in specifications of certain materials. KSEB Limited is now procuring
Energy Efficient Transformers as per BEE standards. The Ring Main Units
presently procured by KSEB Ltd are SCADA compatible. The labour rates were
also increased by 44% on comparison with the rates of 2018 (labour rates of DSR
2018 with applicable cost index with respect to the labour rates of DSR 2016 with
applicable cost index). Further instead of the 10% allowed earlier, now KSEB Ltd
has proposed 15% as Contractor’s profit and Overhead charges following CPWD
norms. These factors have contributed to increase in rates of materials and
labour.
(f) The Commission has examined the estimates in the present Cost Data proposal
with respect to estimated cost data of distribution materials approved by the
Commission during 2018. Detailed scrutiny has been done on estimates where
there is considerable increase. The comments of stake holders have been
appropriately considered wherever applicable. Commission has observed that
there is increase in the estimate costs due to additional cost of materials and
labour for standard construction practices in addition to increase in cost of
materials and labour due to inflation. Standard construction practices improve
quality of work, easy of workmanship and ensure safety to employees as well as
to public. Also, the number of poles used for drawing HT lines and LT lines as per
the proposal have increased compared to the earlier approved Cost Data. KSEB
Limited has substantiated the increase in number of HT poles, citing the fact that
since LT network penetration is very high in recent times, many HT lines are now
being drawn along the Right of Way of these LT lines and hence all posts need to
be changed. Also, the LT lines are mostly drawn along the roads, not necessarily
straight roads, with short span lengths and hence greater number of poles are
required. Since the reason furnished by the KSEB Limited is reasonable,
Commission decides to approve the increase in poles.
(g) The Commission has also analyzed the per KVA rates proposed by KSEB Limited
for service connections. In the proposal, KSEB Limited has proposed rates per
7
service connection for loads up to 10 KW and per KVA rates for connections with
loads beyond 10 KW. In the proposal, there is no distinction in the rates on the
basis of load or category of connections. As per rule 4(13) of Electricity (Right of
Consumers) Rules 2020 notified by the Government of India,” for electrified areas
up to 150 kW or such higher load as the Commission may specify the connection
charges for new connection shall be fixed on the basis of the load, category of
connection sought and average cost of connection of the distribution licensee
so as to avoid site inspection and estimation of demand charges for each and
every case individually”. As per the draft of the Kerala Electricity Supply (Fifth
Amendment) Code published by the Commission, the following amendment is
proposed to Regulation 32(2) of Supply Code 2014. “Provided that, for
consumers/ applicants availing supply at LT and 11kV, excluding those
consumers under Regulation 36 of this Code and consumers/ applicants whose
premises is at a distance of over 200m from the existing distributing main at the
applicable voltage level, the licensee shall recover the expenditure based on the
per kVA/ kW rate approved by the Commission. The per kVA/ kW rates shall be
differentiated based on the load factor, power factor, category of connection,
voltage, total consumption of electricity during any specified period of time,
geographical position etc. of the consumers”. The draft implies that per
KVA/KW rates have to be implemented to all LT connections and HT connections
excluding those consumers coming under Regulation 36 of Supply Code. In the
present proposal, KSEB Ltd has proposed per KVA rates only for LT consumers
with loads up to 100 KW. Further in the proposal, there is no differentiation in the
rates based on load, category of connection sought etc as envisaged under
Electricity (Right of Consumers) Rules 2020. Also, on analyzing the rate per
service connection proposed by KSEB Limited, the Commission noted that there
is considerable increase in costs for applicants/consumers, who require lesser
line lengths for the weather proof and overhead service connections with load up
to 10 KW, compared to the existing rates. In the light of the above, the
Commission decided not to implement the per KVA rates presently proposed by
KSEB Limited. KSEB Limited shall file a separate petition for approval of per
KVA/KW rates after notification of Kerala Electricity Supply Code (Fifth
Amendment), 2024 , taking into consideration of all the points mentioned above.
(h) The Commission decided to approve other items of Cost Data (excluding service
connections for which per KVA/KW rates are proposed) with certain modifications
and the abstract of the Cost Data is appended to this order. Detailed estimates
are given in Annexures 1 to Annexures 42. For individual consumers located
inside colonies, high rise buildings or commercial/industrial/residential complexes
developed by promoters/builders wherein all internal distribution network including
installation of energy meter is already carried by the developer, energization
charge of Rs.300/- per consumer shall be collected as ordered in OP No 4 of
2015.
(i) Commission also decided to allow an interim increase of 10% (Ten percent only)
over the rates for items in Annexures 1 to 5, Annexures 7 to 14 and Annexures 21
to 30 of the Commission’s Order in O.A No 17 of 2017 dated 27.04.2018 (Cost
8
Data items relating to effecting the service connections for which KVA/KW rates
are to be determined) or the proposed rates, whichever is lower, for a period of 6
months or till the approval of per KVA/KW rates, whichever is earlier.
(3) KSEB Limited shall file a separate petition for approval of per KVA/KW rates
taking into consideration of all the points in paragraph 7(g) of this order within
three months from the date of notification of Kerala Electricity Supply (Fifth
Amendment) Code by the Commission.
(4) KSEB Limited is authorised to collect a rate of 10% (Ten percent only) over the
rates for items in Annexures 1 to 5, Annexures 7 to 14 and Annexures 21 to 30 of
the Order in O.A No 17 of 2017 dated 27.04.2018 or at the rates proposed in the
present petition, whichever is lower, for a period of 6 months from the date of this
order or till the approval of per KVA/KW rates for the items, whichever is earlier.
(5) KSEB Limited is also authorised to collect the GST applicable as per orders
issued by the Central Government and State Government from time to time.
