In accordance with the procedure prescribed, • the proposal was initially
forwarded to the Tamil Nadu Electricity Board and Utkal Chamber of Commerce Industry for
comments. The comments received are summarised below:
A.
Tamil Nadu Electricity Board (TNEB)
(i).
The operational cost will reduce considerably once the bottom opening railway
wagon system becomes operative at the MCHP; and, more coal will be handled
through the plant increasing the revenue of the PPT.
(ii).
It incurs an extra expenditure towards chartering of the Craned Hopper Self
Unloading Vessel (CHSU) and Gearless Vessels for transporting coal in
Paradip-Ennore Port
sector; and, also, on the conveyor system between the
Ennore Port and the North Chennai Thermal Power Station.
(iii).
The exact loan amount, the rate of interest thereon and the repayment period
including the initial moratorium period are not indicated in the calculation of the
tariff. The ADB has funded a soft loan of US$ 134.85 millions at an interest rate
of 6.34% only to the port; and hence, the tariff should be worked out based on
this rate and not at 19.5%, which is very high considering the present PLR of
12% announced by the Nationalised Banks with effect from March 2001.
(iv).
The capacity utilisation shall be as per the designed capacity of the MCHP, as
this facility will be utilised by other agencies also; therefore, the tariff needs to be
worked out based on the full capacity utilisation instead of 12 million tonnes,
which is only 60% of the installed capacity.
(v).
The working of depreciation needs to be modified to reflect depreciation at 90%
of the value of the plant & machinery (i.e.@ 4.5% per annum) instead of 100%
value as the balance 10% value is recovered on scrapping of the plant as scrap
value.
(vi).
An amount of Rs.7 crores provided towards salary and wages seems to be on
the higher side considering the manpower requirements in view of the
mechanisation and automation.
(vii).
An amount of Rs. 17.30 crores towards the O & M expenses appears to be on
the higher side and may be restricted to the actuals or certain percentage of the
capital cost.
The actual percentage in these expenses in the modern ports
abroad can be a guide for this.
(viii).
A special discount must be allowed to the TNEB for effecting large volumes.
B.
The Utkal Chamber of Commerce and Industry (UCCI) has not sent any
written comments so far.
5.1.
On a preliminary scrutiny of the proposal, the PPT was requested to furnish
additional information/clarification on various points arising out of its proposal.
Some of the
important queries raised are summarised below:
(i).
To indicate and consider the proportionate amount of working capital; and,
management and general overheads allocable to the MCHP in the cost
statements to avoid cross-subsidisation.
(ii).
The Port could not submit proper cost statements for different activities at the
time of last general revision of the tariff (April 2000); and, the Scale of Rates was
to be reviewed after a period of one year. The PPT was also to submit the other
proposals relating to estate rentals including rentals for properties in operational
area, equipment hire charges and charges for the PPL captive berth.
The
reasons for the PPT not proposing any review of these rates so far.
22
THE GAZETTE OF INDIA: EXTRAORDINARY
[P wi HI—SEC 4j
(iii).
To indicate the latest position of the issues dealt with in paragraph 18 (ix) of this
Authority's Order dated 10 April 2000 relating to the details of the non-statutory
expenses that the TNEB may not have to incur on commissioning of the MCHP;
and, in paragraph 18(x) ibid relating to the issue of surplus labour.
(iv).
The reasons for an upward revision in the estimated power expenses from
Rs. 1220 lakhs (earlier) to Rs. 1620 lakhs now.
(v).
To eliminate the effect of double counting of interest on loans reflected once as a
separate item of cost and again as a part of the capital employed.
(vi).
To clarify the reason for considering maintenance dredging expenditure (which is
a vessel-related cost) for fixing cargo handling rate.
(vii).
To furnish the cost estimates for the next two years following the year 2001-02.
(viii).
To clarify the prorata computation of Railway earnings and expenses, as the
figure of traffic adopted for computation for the year 1999-2000 is different from
that adopted for Port and Dock Income.
(ix).
To indicate reasons for continuance of separate rates for handling of coal at
IOHP in terms of paragraph 16 (iii) of the TAMP order dated 10 April 2000.
(x).
To assess and indicate the resultant savings to TNEB in the vessel-related port
charges as well as the standing cost of the vessel; and, other savings on
account of better wagon turnaround and shipment by handling coal through
MCHP.
(xi).
The basis of arriving at different slabs for fixing the proposed sliding slab rates.
(xii).
To explore the possibility of linking the proposed rates with performance; and,
formulate a suitable efficiency linked tariff scheme.
(xiii).
The reasons for reduction in the traffic forecast of 20 million tonnes for the year
2001-02 at the time of general revision to a present estimate of 12 million
tonnes.
5.2.
The PPT after the joint hearing in this case, submitted detailed replies to the
queries raised by us. The important points made by the PPT are summarised below:
(i).
The working capital for the year 1999-2000 becomes a negative figure (because
of overdue interest liabilities); and hence, it has been considered as nil.
Excluding the figure of overdue interest from the Current Liabilities; and,
csnsidering a share of Thermal Coal being 44% in the total cargo, the working
capital requirement for the MCHP works out to Rs.15.09 crores.
(ii).
The power cost has been taken on the basis of present electricity tariff structure.
(iii).
Mechanisation will not reduce the manpower immediately.
It may take a long
time to effect such reduction.
Further, transfer of manpower from existing
working areas to the mechanised coal project is not possible.
On the basis of the assessment made by the High Power Committee, 609 cargo
handling workers and all the bulk handling (C&F) workers will be rendered
surplus after mechanisation of the coal handling plant.
A Voluntary Retirement Scheme (VRS) has been introduced by the PPT as per
the directives of the Government; and, a similar scheme has also been
introduced by the Management Committee for the C&F workers. Only 32 cargo
handling workers and 116 C&F workers have opted for the Scheme.
The
response of the workers is luke-warm on account of the amount of (inadequate)
