2012-13 20230 46426 66656

Average 19659 43455 63144


DETERMINATION OF TARIFF 14.0 Allocation of O & M Cost :-

14.1 Tariff determination has been done considering the average O & M cost of Rs.63144/- lakhs for the 3 years period 2010-2013 since the Authority is required under the Act to review and revise the water charges once every three years. Similarly for water use three year average figures are considered.

14.2 As per Section 12.4 of the Criteria, the allocation of total O & M cost to the three categories of users is :

Irrigation : 21% Domestic : 16% Industries : 63%

14.3 As per Section 13, the 3 year average O&M cost is Rs.63144 lakhs. Its allocation to the three categories of users is accordingly.

Rs. Lakhs. Agriculture : :- 63144 x 0.21 = 13260 Domestic : :- 63144 x 0.16 = 10103 Industries : :- 63144 x 0.63 = 39781 63144

15.0 Basic rates for Non Irrigation:-

15.1 The basic volumetric rate for non-Irrigation are as under for above O&M allocation.

Category Allocation of O&M Cost (Rs.lakhs.) (Section 14.3)

Projected water use (Mm3)

(Section 9.1)

Industries 39781 750

Domestic 10103 4200 15.2 For Industrial use the basic rate works out to,

39781 x 105 750x106

= Rs.5.30/m3 or Rs.53 per 10 m3

However, this is an average rate and actual rate keeping in view differential rate for different sources of supply (Annex 4 of Criteria) will be less. Also there are concessions. Considering these aspects, basic rate of Rs. 32/10 m3 is arrived and as checked at Annex 2.


15.3 As per calculation in enclosed Annex 2, it is seen that for rate of Rs.32/10m3 (basic), the tariff levied matches O&M allocation giving some allowance for concessions to agro industries and likely recycling. 15.4 For domestic the basic rate works out to

Rs.10103 x 105

4200 x 106 = Rs.0.24/m3 or Rs. 2.40/10 m3.

However, this is an average rate and actual rate keeping in view differential rate for different sources of supply (Annex.3 of the Criteria) will be less. Considering these a rate of Rs.1.75/10 m3 is adopted and checked as at enclosed Annex 3. 15.5 It is seen that as per calculations in enclosed Annex 3, the tariff levied matches O&M allocation. 15.6 The tariff for various categories of non-irrigation users as per Annex 3 & 4 of Criteria & also Para 15.7 (excluding local cess) is thus as under:

CONCESSIONS/INCENTIVES/PENALTIES/DISINCENTIVES : 15.7 As per Criteria, the following Concessions/ Incentives/ Penalties/

Disincentives will be applicable on the above basic rates. Domestic : (i) The above rates for various sub category of users and for various

source of supply will be uniform for all the seasons in the year. (ii) Adopting the basic rate of Rs.1.75/10m3, the stepped tariff for

rural and urban consumers has been worked out as per Criteria item 13.2.3 viz. GP : : 75% of applicable rate. ULB : 90% of applicable rate. Municipality / : 1.25 times applicable rate.

Corporations (iii) Rebate for effluent treatment will be as per Criteria 13.2.2. Industries: (i) The above rates for the two sub category of users will be for rabbi

season. For Kharif season 50% of above rate will be charged and in hot weather 1.5 times of above rate (in Para 15.6) will be charged.

(ii) For agro Industries (Poultry, Canning, Sugarcane Processing, Dairying) 75% of above rates will be charged.

(iii) Rebate for recycling will be as per Criteria 13.3.2. (iv) Penalty for not treating effluent to required MPCB standard will be

as per Criteria 13.3.3. 16.0 Basic Rates for Agriculture : 16.1 From Section 14.3, the allocation of O&M cost to agriculture is Rs.13260 lakhs. As per Section 12.7 of the CBWT, 5% of O&M cost is Government subsidy for well Irrigation i.e. 63144 x 0.05= Rs.3157 lakhs.

The balance (13260 3157) = Rs.10103 lakhs is to recovered from tariff for flow and Lift Irrigation and Rs.3157 lakhs is direct government subsidy for well Irrigation being declared free of water tariff by State Government. 16.2 Grouping of Crops : Section 13.1.1. (ii) of the CBWT has recommended grouping of crops to reduce the number of crops with a view to reduce the number of crops based on the recommendations of the Maharashtra Irrigation Commission (Chitale Commission) and group of Chief Engineers constituted to examine this aspect. The grouping of crops from agricultural tariff considerations is now proposed as under,


Kharif 1. Cereals and other kharif 2. Groundnut 3. Onions & vegetables 4. Paddy

Rabi 5. Vegetables 6. Wheat 7. Other rabi (gram, oilseed, sunflower, soya)

Two Seasonal 8. Chilli, ginger, tur 9. Cotton

Hot Weather 10. Vegetable 11. Groundnut 12. Paddy

Perennial 13. Sugarcane & banana 14. Horticulture

16.3 Gross Value of Produce (GVP) The Minimum Support Price (MSP) announced by GOI based on the recommendations the Committee on Agricultural Costs & Prices for 2010 (and 2009-10 for such crops where not announced in 2010-11 like sugarcane and wheat) has been considered to estimate GVP 16.4 The yield in quintals/ha for each crop in new crop grouping from various sources has been considered and the appropriate irrigated yield adopted. 16.5 The GVP of each crop is the MSP multiplied by the yield. As per Criteria 4% of GVP for cereals and 9% for cash crops is the upper limit of water tariff (area based) for that crop. This has been compared with the existing 2003 rate and a rational rate keeping in view (i) need for rounding off to nearest Rs. 10 (ii) The Criteria requirement the where crop nomenclature is same, the Kharif rate will be 50% & HW rate 150% (iii) need to encourage production of oilseeds by reducing tariff has been proposed. 16.6 Enclosed Annex 4.1 and 4.2 give detail of crop wise water tariff estimation. 16.7 Private Lift Schemes

The following principles are applied to compute tariff of private lift schemes for various sources of supply.


i. To account for investment made by farmer in pump equipment etc., the applicable rate is arrived at by giving a concession of 35%

ii. The basic principles for perennial crop therefore is Basic Applicable Rate = 0.65 (flow rate) O&M cost Energy Charge

iii. The annual energy charge for a 5 hp pump to irrigate 1 hectare is Rs. 1500

iv. The lumpsum O&M cost in respect of maintenance of pumps, transmission system is Rs. 1000/year.

v. For regulated water supply rate will be 75% of above rate (basic rate) since Transmission losses to be borne by service provider.

vi. For partly assured water supply, rate will be 50% of basic rate

vii. Where beneficiary constructs own reservoir or shares capital cost, rate will be 33% of above rate.

viii. Horticulture rates will be 75% of perennial rate.

ix. For adopting drip and sprinkler, 75% applicable rate.

x. For other Kharif, Rabi, hot-weather crops existing 2003 rates are adopted.

16.8 Enclosed Annex 5 gives the rates based on above principles for

private lift schemes.

16.9 For government lift schemes, tariff will comprise area based tariff and energy charges payable by beneficiary as per procedure laid down in Annex 2 B of Criteria.

17.0 Verification of Agricultural Tariff

17.1 For verification of the correctness of agricultural tariff the total revenue earned from the irrigated crop pattern of 2008-09 has been computed and checked with O&M allocation after correcting for concessions.

17.2 Enclosed Annex 6 gives the revenue computation.

Irrigated area in lakh ha Canal Lift Total 15.10 3.13 Less Sugarcane (-) 1.95 (-) 0.68 Less Horticulture (-) 0.28 (-) 0.04 12.87 2.41 Revenue generated in Rs. lakhs Canal Lift Total 11979 622 Less Sugarcane & horticulture (-) 5814 (-) 537 6165 85


Average Tariff (as concessions are not for sugarcane, horticulture)

6165 12.87

= Rs.480

(concessions to lift area ignored as amount too small)

17.3 From state statistics on land holdings.

(i) % area less than 4 ha in PM package districts, naxalite areas = 6.42%

(ii) % area less than 2 ha in state = 37.60%

Area getting concessions under 4 ha = 12.87 x 6.42%

= 0.82 lakh ha

Area getting concession under 2 ha = 12.87 x 37.6%

= 4.84 lakh ha

Total revenue generated

= (12.87 - 4.84 - 0.82) 480 + (0.82 x 480 x ) + (4.84 x x 480)

= (7.2 x 480) + (0.82 x 240) + (4.84 x 360)

= 3456 + 197 + 1742 = 5395 lakhs

Add sugarcane revenue = 5395 + 5813 = 11208

Add lift revenue = 622

Total = Rs.11,830 lakhs against O & M allocation of Rs.10,103 lakhs

17.4 Considering other concessions like free water to tribal sub-plan

projects, concession to project affected families, drip and sprinkler, initial period of horticulture crops the revenue of Rs. 11830 lakhs will further reduce.

17.5 Volumetric Bulk Water Tariff for Agriculture:

As per details given in enclosed Annex 7, the volumetric bulk water tariff for agriculture crops is as below;

Rate (Paise / m3) Sr. No. Season Paddy Other crops 1. Kharif 4 3

2. Rabi 8 6

3. Hot Weather 12 9


18.0 Clarifications Notes to proposed Agricultural Tariff

(i) Full rate in each season will be charged only if more than two rotations are taken. For one or two rotations, 1/4th applicable rate per rotation will be charged.

(ii) For Vidarbha, where agreements exist for Kharif paddy, 50% of applicable rate will be levied.

(iii) For sanctioned blocks, full rates will be charged irrespective of rotation drawn.

(iv) Irrigation will be free of cost in first year of operation of a project.

(v) For farmers with less than 2 ha. holding. 75% of applicable rate will be charged for all crops except Sugarcane, Banana and Horticulture.

(vi) Farmers with less than 4 ha. holding in districts included in Prime Ministers package in Vidarbha and in Naxalite affected areas as notified by the State, 50% of applicable rate will be charged for all crops except Sugarcane, Banana, Horticulture.

(vii) For projects implemented in tribal sub plan, no tariff will be levied for all tribal farmers.

(viii) For projects benefiting project affected people, 75% of basic rate will be charged for all crops.

(ix) For following horticultural crops, 25% of applicable will be charged for period specified

Grapes : Initial 3 years.

Orange : Initial 4 years.

Mango/Coconut/Amla/Tamarind/Chikoo Initial 5 years.

(x) For adoption of micro irrigation, 75% of applicable rate will be levied. This concession for horticultural crops specified in (ix) above for the indicated initial periods will not be available and will become applicable only when full basic rate is paid.

(xi) As per Sections 12(11) (a) & (b) of the MWRRA Act, farmers having more than two children one year after commencement of Act, will be levied 1.5 times applicable rate.

(xii) The area based and volumetric rates exclude local cess.
