Electricity Towers and Channels Improvement Policy


A revised proposal for compensation of land for towers for extra high pressure transmission lines was approved in the Cabinet meeting held today. Chief Minister Eknath Shinde presided over the meeting.

Land is not acquired for setting up power towers and channels. Only land is used. Compensation is paid for the loss of land and crops while erecting the tower. But for this, the existing policy of the government has been amended. The current policy is strongly opposed by the affected farmers and landowners as the compensation they get is meager. Due to this, various projects of transmission companies have been stalled. The new policy will speed up construction of towers and channels and help in power generation.

As per this revised policy, 66 KV. And for the extra high pressure transmission lines of more than that capacity will be paid as follows.

Based on the land purchase and sale transaction during the read reckoner of the land occupied by the tower or the average rate in the last 3 years, whichever is higher, the compensation will be given.

A total of 30% will be paid for the area under the belt of channels passing through the tower plus 15% plus 15% of the ready reckoner or average rate whichever is higher.

Sub-Divisional Assessment Committee shall retain the power to determine appropriate remuneration in exceptional circumstances. No construction shall be permitted in the prescribed route of transmission channel. Compensation for crops, fruit trees or other trees will be given as per prevailing policy of concerned department. This policy will be applicable to entire Maharashtra including Mumbai and Mumbai suburb districts.

The compensation for the land affected by the tower will be deposited directly into the bank account of the concerned farmer as well as the land owner. This policy will be applicable to all existing and newly proposed very high pressure transmission line projects from the date of promulgation of the relevant government decision. There will be an Evaluation Committee headed by the Sub Divisional Officer to fix the remuneration.

In case of difficulty in implementation of this policy, a committee headed by the Principal Secretary, Department of Energy will take a decision to take a policy decision.
