CASE I: O&M data available for 1998-99 to 2002-03                          
(Base O&M on the basis of actual data)

CASE II: Stations for which O&M data for 1998-99 to 2002-03 is not available  
Year of Commissioning                          
Calculation of Base O&M**                 Y Y x (1.04) X x (1.04)2 X x (1.04)3 X x (1.04)4

 - Security expenses on account of insurgency (othet than normal security)
 - Due to abnormal siltation
 - There may be redeployment of staff from completed projects  to those under construction. Yearwise details to be given.
 
** Base O&M= (0.015 x Capital cost) escalated at the rate of 4 percent per annum to bring it to 2003-04 level
For example if the capital cost of the plant commissioned in 2000-01 is Rs 1000 cores then the base for 2003-04 is computed as follows:-
Base O&M for 2003-04= Rs. (0.015*1000)*(1.04)3       crore
