Power Finance Corporation Limited (PFC) has announced a significant development in its corporate structure. Alibag Power Transmission Limited has been incorporated as a wholly-owned subsidiary of PFC Consulting Limited (PFCCL), which is itself a wholly-owned subsidiary of PFC.
Purpose and Background
The incorporation of Alibag Power Transmission Limited serves a specific purpose in the power sector:
| Aspect | Details |
|---|---|
| Project | Establishment of 765/400/220 kV AIS Dolvi (Dist. Raigad) |
| Location | Maharashtra |
| Parent Company | PFC Consulting Limited (PFCCL) |
| Ultimate Parent | Power Finance Corporation Limited (PFC) |
This move is part of a larger initiative in the power transmission sector. Maharashtra State Electricity Transmission Company Limited (MSETCL) has appointed PFCCL as the Bid Process Coordinator (BPC) for selecting a developer through a tariff-based competitive bidding process for Independent Transmission Projects (ITPs).
Role of the New Subsidiary
Alibag Power Transmission Limited, as a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV), will undertake crucial preparatory activities for the transmission project:
- Conducting surveys and preparing reports
- Initiating the process of land acquisition
- Seeking forest clearance, if required
These steps are in line with the tariff-based competitive bidding guidelines issued by the Ministry of Power.
Future Plans
The newly formed SPV is not intended to be a permanent subsidiary of PFCCL. The company has outlined the following process:
- PFCCL will develop the transmission scheme after necessary approvals.
- The SPV will be transferred to the successful bidder upon completion of the bidding process.
- The selected bidder will then be responsible for developing the project further.
This strategic move by PFC and its subsidiary PFCCL demonstrates their commitment to facilitating the development of power transmission infrastructure in Maharashtra. By creating this SPV, they are laying the groundwork for efficient project implementation and competitive bidding in the power sector.
The incorporation of Alibag Power Transmission Limited as a subsidiary marks an important step in PFC's role in supporting India's power infrastructure development, particularly in enhancing the transmission capabilities in the Maharashtra region.
