Power India found that the country has managed to surpass the target for new transmission lines by 0.22% during the year 2011-12. A total of 19,847 ckm transmission lines have been laid against the target of 19,792 ckm.
- While the country missed its targets for the first three quarters of the fiscal, the sector`s good performance during the fourth quarter helped overcome the shortfall and exceed the yearly target.
- Only 10,995 ckm, of the proposed 13,392 ckm, of lines were laid till the end of Q3, whereas 8,852 ckm lines were added in the last quarter alone against a target of 6,400 ckm.
- In terms of the achievement rate, the state sector fared much worse than its counterparts and fell short of its target by 16%. The central and private sectors exceeded their targets for the year by approximately 15% and 7.5%, respectively.
- The shortfall in the state sector occurred primarily due to severe right of way (RoW) problems, delay in grant of forest clearances and filing of cases in civil courts by affected farmers.
- Five states, namely -- Uttar Pradesh, Chhatisgarh, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Kerala -- account for the majority of the shortfall.
- Overall, 5,528 ckm of 220 KV lines, 10,931 ckm of 400 kV lines and 1,408 ckm of 765 kV lines were laid during the year.
