escalation. {Energy Wing (Planning Commission) returned 3rd Rev. PC-I,
to resubmit it after getting Bid prices of Civil & E&M Contracts}.
Destruction of existing access road to Dam site due to Floods-2022,
requires update in the design of this road. (Topographic Survey Report

9. Lessons Learnt and Recommendation
Land Acquisition: Land required for the Project (atleast the priority
areas) must be acquired prior to award of Contract to avoid delays.
Financial Closure: Financing of the Project must be secured in ICB
Contracts, prior to start of the Project.
PC-I: Project PC-I with accuracy of the Cost needs to be carried out to
avoid further revisions.
Local Contractor: For Joint Venture with International bidders, the
local contractor must be qualified, eligible and experienced in such
hydropower Projects.
Cooperation of related government departments for land acquisition,
Loan approval and other necessary matters is always required on
expedited pace to avoid unnecessary delays and future complications.
