by excluding liability, if any;
ii) Expenditure on account of additional capitalization determined in accordance with
Regulation 14 (1);
iii) Funding for the development of analytics tools and pilot projects that are of a
capital nature;
iv) The fixed assets decapitalized in accordance with Regulation 14 (2);
v) Interest during construction and incidental expenditure during construction as
approved by the Commission;
vi) Any grant received from the Central or State Government or any statutory body
or authority for the execution of the project that does not carry any liability of
repayment shall be excluded from the Capital Cost for the purpose of computation
of interest on the loan, return on equity and depreciation;
(3) The Capital cost shall be admitted after a prudence check, which may include scrutiny
of the reasonableness of the capital expenditure, financing plan, Interest During
Construction (IDC), Incidental Expenditure During Construction (IEDC), financing
charges, any gain or loss on account of Foreign Exchange Rate Variation (FERV),
cost over-run and time over-run and such other matters as may be considered
appropriate by the Commission:
(4) Interest during construction (IDC) shall be computed considering the actual loan
and/or normative loan after taking into account the prudent phasing of funds up to
completion of the project:
Provided that IDC on normative loan corresponding to excess equity over 30% of
funds deployed shall be allowed only in case the actual infusion of equity on a
quarterly basis is more than 30% of total funds deployed on a pari-passu basis.
Provided further that in case IDC on normative loan is to be allowed prior to the
infusion of actual loan, rate of interest for computing such IDC shall be equal to 1-
year SBI MCLR as prevailing on 1st April of the respective year.
Provided also that IDC on normative loan, post-infusion of actual loan shall be
computed based on Weighted Average Rate of Interest (WAROI) for that respective
quarter.
(5) Incidental expenditure during construction (IEDC) shall be computed from the zero
date, considering the pre-operative expenses up to the completion of the project. Any
revenue earned during the construction period up to completion, on account of
interest on deposits or advances or any other receipts, shall be taken into account for
a reduction in the incidental expenditure during construction.
(6) If the delay in achieving the completion of the project is not attributable to the RLDC
or the NLDC, as the case may be, IDC and IEDC, for the delayed period, may be
allowed after prudence check, and the liquidated damages, if any, recovered from the
contractor or supplier or agency shall be adjusted in the capital cost of the RLDC or
the NLDC, as the case may be.
(7) RLDCs and NLDC shall submit Auditor Certificate for the capital expenditure incurred
as on 31.03.2024 and a Management Certificate duly signed by an authorised person,
not below the level of Director of the company, for the projected capital expenditure

14. Additional Capitalization and De-Capitalization
(1) The capital expenditure incurred or projected to be incurred for the assets already in
service and the additional assets projected to be procured during the tariff period may
be admitted, by the Commission, subject to prudence check.
(2) In case of de-capitalization of assets, the original cost of such asset as on the date of
decapitalisation shall be deducted from the value of the gross fixed asset and
corresponding loan, as well as equity shall be deducted from the outstanding loan,
and the equity respectively in the year such de-capitalisation takes place with
corresponding adjustments in cumulative depreciation and cumulative repayment of
the loan, duly taking into consideration the year in which it was capitalised.
Provided that in cases where an asset forming part of a scheme is de-capitalised and
wherein the historical value of such asset is not available, the value of de
capitalisation shall be computed by de-escalating the value of the new asset by 5%
per year until the year of capitalisation of the old asset subject to a minimum of 10%
of the replacement cost of the asset.
15. Debt-Equity Ratio
(1) The actual debt-equity ratio as admitted by the Commission for the period ending

same shall be shared between the users and Grid-India in a ratio of 50:50. The changes
to the terms and conditions of the loans shall be reflected from the date of such re
financing:

1.50% shall be allowed.
Explanation: In case of computation of '5 days', the number of days shall be counted
consecutively without considering any holiday. However, in case the last day or day is an
official holiday, the 5th day for the purpose of Rebate shall be construed as the immediate
succeeding working day (as per the official State Government's calendar or RBI declared
a holiday, where the Office of the Authorised Signatory or Representative of the
Beneficiary, for the purpose of receipt or acknowledgement of Bill is situated).
(2) Where payments are made on any day after 5 days and within a period of 30 days of
presentation of bills by the RLDC, a rebate of 1% shall be allowed.
(3) No rebate shall be allowed for payments made from T+31 days to T+45 days from the
date of issuance of the bill.
36. Settlement of Fees and Charges dues for users under long outage: In case of complete
isolation from the grid due to natural calamities for a long duration, the user may request the
concerned RLDC for de-registration on a temporary basis. The user will have to apply for
reregistration as per Regulation 5(1) of these regulations prior to the commencement of grid
access.
37. Dispute Resolution: In case of any dispute, if the parties fail to arrive at a mutual settlement
in accordance with law, any of the parties may file a petition in accordance with the Central
Electricity Regulatory Commission (Conduct of Business) Regulations, 2023, as amended
from time to time, including statutory re-enactment thereof, for adjudication of the dispute.
38. Power to Relax: The Commission, for reasons to be recorded in writing, may relax any of the
provisions of these regulations on its own motion or on an application made before it by NLDC
or any of the RLDCs or any User after giving reasonable opportunity to those likely to be
affected by such relaxation.
39. Removal of Difficulty: If any difficulty arises in giving effect to the provisions of these
regulations, the Commission may, by order, make such provision not inconsistent with the
provisions of the Act or provisions of any other regulations specified by the Commission, as
may appear to be necessary for removing the difficulty in giving effect to the objectives of these
regulations. The Commission may, from time to time, issue orders and practice directions with
regard to the implementation of these regulations and matters incidental or ancillary thereto as
the Commission may consider appropriate.
