Описание: Guidelines for payment of compensation in regard to Right of way (Rows) for transmission
COMPENSATION GUIDELINES FOR TRANSMISSION LINES
(1) Applicability: The compensation shall be payable only for transmission lines supported by a tower base of 66 kV voltage level and above, and not for sub- transmission and Distibution lines below 66 kV.
2. Authority for determination of Compensation: District Magistrate/District collector/Deputy commissioner shall be the authority roar overmining! -
ten compensations.
(3) Determination of compensation: The compensation shall ordinarily be based on the circle rate/Guideline value/stamp Act rates of the land, except where the market rate exceeds the circle rate/Guideline value/Stamp Act rates. ln such instances, the land value shall be determined based on the prevailing market rate as ascertained by the District Magistrate/District Collector/Deputy Commissioner in the manner as may be specified by the state Government. The determined land value
shall serve as the basis for compensation and shall be promptly communicated by the
respective District Magistrate/District Collector/Deputy Commissioner'
(4) Tower Base compensation: compensation for the tower base area shall be " of the land value. The tower base area shall be the area enclosed by the four legs of the tower at ground level, plus an additional one ('1) meter extension on each side.
(5) Row Corridor compensation: The compensation amount for Right-of-way corridor shall be 30% of the land value. Land within the Row corridor, as defined in Schedule Vll of the Central Electricity Authority (Technical Standards for construction of Electrical Plants and Electric Lines) Regulations,2022 (Annex), shall be eligible for compensation. This compensation will address the potential diminution of lain value due to the presence of overhead lines or underground cables within the Row corridor. No construction activity of any kind would be permitted within the Row
of the transmission line. states/UTs may decide higher rate depending on the area and urgency of the work.
(6) Alternate compensation: ln areas where landowner/owners have been
offered/accepted alternate mode of compensation by Corporation/Municipality concerned under Transfer of Development Rights (TDR) policy of the State/UT, the licensee /utility shall deposit compensation amount as per (4) to (5) arbore with the corporation/ Municipality Local Development Authority or the State Government
concerned.
(7) Areas with Row constraints: when laying transmission lines in areas with how constraints, various technologies can be considered to optimize the use of space. These technologies are outlined in the Central Electricity Authority (Technical Standards for Consruction of Electrical Plants and Electric Lines) Regulations,2o22.
Some options include steel pole structures, narrow-based lattice towers, multi-circuit and multi-voltage towers, single-side stringing with lattice or steel poles, XLPE underground cables, Gas insulated Lines (GlL), compact towers with insulate_d.cross arms, I/voltage Source Converter (VSC) based High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC)
systems, an-d more. A cost matrix comparing these technologies is attached in reference by implementing agencies. This matrix can help them choose the most cost-effective option for each project.
(8) Landowner identification: During the check survey conducted at the
execution stage, the names of landowners whose property falls within the transmission line's Right-oi-Way (Row) will be documented. This process shall adhere to the Regutati6n 8a(B) of the Central Electricity Authority (Technical Standards for Construction of Electrical Plants and Electric Lines) Regulations' 2022'
(9) Compensation Payment: Compensation payment shall be one-time and
upfront. Whenever possible, compensation will be paid through various digital
(10) Standard Operating Procedure (SOP): States/UTs and transmission
developers should refer to the Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) at
