The project of irrigation of the Kaleshwaam elevator (clip) will probably be the main outflow of the state treasury in the coming years, although the government decides to continue to complete equilibrium work for many published projects.
The Government or Kaleshwaam Irrigation Project Corporation Limited (KIPCL) will require a total of 1,41,544.59 Crore, ranging from 712.44 Crore to 14,462,15 Crore each year, in the next 14 years, in accordance with the project in India.
According to KipCl, loans of 87 449.16 GBP were increased from the one, of which it was up to the last fiscal payment of 71 713.67 GBP Crore. Last year, the company said in response to the RTI question that last year the main and interest repayment was launched and the state repaid 22,511.98 crore interest and director 8 324.96 crore.
This leaves a balance of 63 388 GBP Crore and the interest of the CRORE 43 883 GBP, which will reach a total of 1.07 lakh crore. This was more than 10% of institutions such as PFC and REC. Given that most loans ending in the fiscal year 2034-35, the government had to allocate 10,000 crore every year, making it a demanding task with regard to rare sources that the state could mobilize.
In her report, CAG caused the government to escalate the overall project costs. He stated that the total cost of work increased from 63,352 Crore to 1.02 Lakh Crore by 38 915 crore, 61.43%, which cannot be considered normal.
The Kaleshwaam project, although completed in all respects, will still require a huge amount with regard to the energy consumed by a multi -purpose project. According to a detailed project report, the energy requirement was assessed to 13,558 million units at the initial evaluation that 180 TMC FT will be lifted from Medigadda and 20 TMC FT from YELLAMPALLY RERERVOIR for the project.
It works for the annual energy costs at 4,148 GBP Crore in the calculations of the cost of benefits. However, as the CWC quantum of water, which is to be raised to Medigadda to 195 TMC FT, the requirement would increase proportionally to 14,687 million units and the annual energy costs had to be developed with the prevailing degree.
However, the ministry adopted a lower rate of 3 GBP per unit, while the predominant tariff charged for government irrigation schemes of distribution companies was 6.40 GBP per unit. “Given the right tariff, the annual cost of electricity consumption of 14,687 million units is based on 9,400.21 Crore compared to the amount of 4,148.80 Crore screened in DPR, Cag said.
The then government, which illustrated the accusation of Congress, awarded the works before the DPR approval, suggesting that the DPR process was considered a mere formality of paper to consider it a fundamental process in planning and designing the project. The exercise was undermined by the prescribed project evaluation mechanism with interstate consequences of CWC, CAG said.
