as specified in the National Electricity Policy and also the Distribution of Electricity Licence

(Additional requirements of capital adequacy, creditworthiness and code of conduct) Rules 2005.

However, the villages of Chene and Varsova are not to be construed as Rural Area as they are

part of Mira-Bhayandar Municipal Corporation and also vide a GOM notification dated 10 th

January 1990 under Bombay Village Panchayats Act 1958, it has been declared by GOM that

with effect from the 10th day of January, 1990, the local area comprising the revenue village

Chene, Varsova, etc. shall cease to be villages. (GOM notification attached.)

Thus, the proposed area of supply for which the Licence application has been filed by RInfra

does not contain any Rural Area. Therefore, we have not provided any program for rural

electrification. However once the licence is granted, in order to carry out any network extension

in the proposed area of Chene and Varsova, RInfra-D will follow the guidelines specified by

MERC for approval of CAPEX projects.
