| Abstract | This paper conducts an ex-post analysis of an
electrification project in the Himalayan region of Himachal
Pradesh, a state in the northern part of India. The purpose of
the analysis is to investigate the underlying rationale, to
compare actual performance with expectations and to study,
evaluate and analyse the appraisal perspectives of the scheme.
The discussion begins with tracing the causes and
suggesting possible remedies for the staggering cost and time
over runs which characterised the project under consideration
(Chapter 21. This is followed by the demand side
(revenue)
studies (Chapter 31. The issues of demand and tariffs , the
major determinants of revenue , are extensively dealt with.
Chapter 4 brings the cost and revenue aspects together and
goes on with a discussion on viability indictors. An effort
has been made to emphasis the need for establishing the
conventions which realistically account for the eventualities
that characterise such projects . |
