Key Issues
IEEMA Actions/Solutions
Dependence on Imports indigenous manufacturing base for EHV cable Jointing kits, terminations & accessories is a critical requirement
Currently cable manufacturers have JVs for manufacturing and selling EHV cable jointing kits and accessories. The need of the hour is to explore domestic manufacturing of these items to meet likely demand
Key Issues
IEEMA Actions/Solutions
No mandatory cable testing approval required by foreign suppliers from Indian national laboratories. However Indian suppliers have to get their cables type tested from National laboratories when they supply to utilities outside India or even within India.
This issue has been discussed with Utilities, SEBs in various IEEMA meetings with them as well as with the GoI & Media through Cable Industry Conclave.
High qualification criteria for procurement of EHV cables by Indian utilities. However, Chinese certifications of local supplies are acceptable, which are found fabricated in certain cases.
Taken up with Utilities, SEBs in various IEEMA interactions with them as well as with the GOI & Media through Cable Industry Conclave.
Key Issues
IEEMA Actions/Solutions
Mega projects involving submarine cables is the technology for the future.
With offshore wind farms expected to play an increasing role in renewable energy in the near future submarine cable manufacturing may become imperative
Huge capacity expansions but underutilization (slow growth in demand) due to global slowdown
Key Issues
IEEMA Actions/Solutions
We have conveyed this to Utilities , SEBs at Cable Industry Conclave. The division has also formed Cable Technical Committee for updating the existing standards. The comments were taken up with BIS Committee in their meeting held in May 2010 at New Delhi

Key Issues
Huge price hike in testing at CPRI During last year there is huge price hike (approximately 50%) in testing at CPRI.
IEEMA Actions/Solutions
CPRI should reconsider high test charges. Government also needs to encourage indigenous R&D which needs test facilities ( specially for small manufacturers ) Manufacturers have tried various methods to stop this practice but it has unnecessary cost implications
EPC contractors Issue Increasingly procurement by EPC contractors is on a rise and manufacturers have to adapt themselves to the new emerging business scenario
Key Issues
Calibration facility available only up to 145 KV. These need to be upgraded for higher voltage range.
IEEMA Actions/Solutions
Through IEEMA, we need to present a memorandum for upgradation of these facilities within India
Marking of Indian standard reference number on ITs All the manufacturers of CTs and PTs mark the label Made to or Manufactured to IS 2705" for CTs and IS 3156 for VTs. Manufacturers can put this label without license, however they can not put IS mark on the equipment.
As informed by one member, recently BIS Chennai has objected for marking of Indian Standards reference number IS 3156 on the name plate of Voltage transformers without the license for IS mark.
1200 kV Technology The Indian manufacturers have succeeded in developing 1200 kV CVT and CTs and are in advance stage final design and development.

Key Issues
Lack of test facilities in India specially for short circuit testing of Surge Arresters above 120kV
IEEMA Actions/Solutions
CPRI to look at expanding the lab to meet the upcoming 50 & 63kA requirements and for comprehensive testing of units larger than 120kV IEEMA to look at taking up with utilities for acceptance of type test reports with validity for minimum period of 10 years at least CPRI to give comprehensive offers for carrying out all tests as per standards and taking overall responsibility to get completed in time at their various labs .
CPRI not having facility and repeating of tests every 5 years is taking its toll on the industry Comprehensive testing facility to take care of all the tests to be carried out on the product as singe point responsibility

Key Issues
Purchase Processes of Utilities the largest Customer
IEEMA Actions/Solutions
proper QR and past experience
Dilution of PQ Requirements
as there are many suppliers supplying meters with different quality , a guideline is required wherein new bidders are required to meet minimum financial and quality parameters including type testing , performance in at least 2 utilities.
Key Issues
Unpredictability of Business through EPC Contractors
IEEMA Actions/Solutions
as RE / Infra contracts are on long gestation timescales, the clarity on material deliveries / planning suffers.
Long Guarantee period and impractical contract closure requirements & SLAs
payments are kept on hold for a long time period because there is no clarity on closure of contracts. stage wise payments to be planned
some utilities have not followed guidelines / gazette notifications of BIS / CEA. CEA and state regulators to enforce
Key Issues
Change of Business model from Supply to Supply & Install End to End Solution
IEEMA Actions/Solutions
supply and installation orders are given in one order with implication of WCT is some states and also payments are with held for a longer time period due to sites unavailability / site installation etc.. separate tenders to be floated for installation
Back to Back Contracts for RAPDRP Payment Issues based on main Contractor SLAs / Contract
As GST is likely to be implemented from next FY, some utilities are issuing orders on fixed terms contract prices even though bidders have stated that GST is to be paid at actual when applicable. This has huge financial implication and penalizes the bidders on government taxation deductions,, IEEMA to approach utility for allowing GST change
Focus on strengthening of IT backbone Focus on Metering of consumers, feeders, DTs, Ring fencing & metering of boundary points of RAPDRP towns / cities Automated Meter Reading (AMR) on a large scale, integration with Data Centre, proper measurement and billing Consumer Indexing & GIS mapping of end points, setting up of CRM / CIS Reduction of AT&C losses to less than 15 % for towns/ cities, extension to NonRAPDRP towns / cities Information Technology Implementing Agencies (ITIAs) appointed in over 15 states
