CASE I: O&M data available for 1998-99 to 2002-03                        
(Base O&M on the basis of actual data)                        
A) Total O&M Expenses                        
B) Abnormal O&M expenses*                        
    - Additional security expenses                        
    - Siltation                        
    - Over staffing                        
    - Any Other (Specify)                        
C) Calculation of Base O&M (A-B)           E X=E x (1.04)3 X x (1.04) X x (1.04)2 X x (1.04)3 X x (1.04)4 X x (1.04)5
   
   
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 X x (1.04)5
                         
* Abnormal O&M expenses such as:                        
 - 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
