Physical :

The contract for construction of main dam under Unit-I was awarded to M/s. Jaiprakash Associates (JPA) in April 1987 at a tendered cost of ` 320 crore stipulating a period of 110 months (up to June 1996) for completion of dam including installation of spillway gates. Because of certain difficulties in mobilization of labour and machinery, the implementation schedule was revised in December 1989, increasing the completion time to 129 months. 

The construction schedule of main dam could not be adhered to, mainly due to the constraints associated with the resettlement and rehabilitation of the project affected persons. The construction works remained held up for about four years due to the writ petition filed by the Narmada Bachao Andolan (NBA) in the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court in its final judgment on 18th October 2000 gave directions for the immediate raising of the dam up to EL 90.00 m with direction to the Narmada Control Authority (NCA) to give permission for further raising of the dam on pari-pasu completion of the R&R and Environmental measures and completion of dam as per the award of NWDT.

The NCA, which is monitoring the Resettlement and Rehabilitation (R&R) Programme of SSP, in its 61st meeting held on 17-11-2000 has finalized an action plan for completion of R&R works which was also accepted by the Review Committee of Narmada Control Authority (RCNCA) in its 8th meeting held on 10.01.2001. 

The work of raising the blocks no. 30 to 46 upto EL 90.00 m was completed on 30-12-2000. Permission for rising of the effective dam height to EL 95.00m was given by NCA in its 64th meeting held on 17th May 2002, and the work was completed by middle of July 2002. Permission for further raising the spillway blocks to EL 100 m was given by the NCA in its 66th (Emergency) meeting held on 14th May 2003 along with permission to construct 3.0 m high hump on blocks no. 31 to 45, leaving the blocks no. 30 and 46 as such. This work was completed by the end of June 2003. Subsequently, the NCA in its 70th meeting held on 13th March 2004 granted permission for raising the blocks no. 30 to 46 to EL 110.64 m. This work of concreting commenced on 17th March 2004 and was completed on 30th June 2004. During the period (2004 to 2006) the R&R and Environmental activities were carried out. In 76th meeting of NCA held on 8th March 2006, clearance for further rising of dam height upto crest level (EL 121.92m was given which was achieved on 31st December 2006. The Narmada Control Authority (NCA) in its 86th (Emergency) meeting held on 12th June 2014 permitted SSNNL to carry out Phase-I proposal comprising construction of piers, overhead bridge and installation of gates in open or raised position at SSP. Accordingly, related construction activities have started.

PROGRESS OF IRRIGATION BYE-PASS TUNNEL (IBPT)

2.10 FLOODS, RESERVOIR REGULATION & NON-STRUCTURAL MEASURES.

The topographical features of Narmada basin are peculiar and very much different from other river basins specially, in regard to the movements of floods. These features have the effect of increasing the peak discharge and steeping the slopes of the flood hydrograph, thereby creating very heavy intensity floods. Unprecedented floods were recorded in Narmada Basin in the year 1968, 1970, 1973 & 1994. The flood of 1970 was having peak discharge of 24.50 lac cusecs, which is considered to be equivalent to 1 in 100 year return flood. The flood of 1994 was having peak discharge of 25 lac cusecs. The design flood corresponding to 1000-year return period has been estimated as 30.70 lac cusecs (87000 m3/ sec).

To implement non–structural measures, Sardar Sarovar Reservoir Regulation Committee (SSRRC) was constituted by NCA. In SSRRC meetings quick and judicious decisions are taken for proper and effective utiization of Narmada waters by the party states as per the NWDT award. First meeting of SSRRC was held on 24.02.2005 at New Delhi under the chairmanship of Executive Member, NCA with its members from NCA, CEA, CWC and concerned party States.


The matter regarding providing non-structural measures for controlling the Irrigation Bye Pass Tunnel was also discussed in Hydro-met Sub Group of NCA. In the minutes of 8th meeting of Hydro-met Sub Group held at New Delhi on 15th January 2008 under “Item No. VIII-5(59) Development of Control Mechanism For Operation of Irrigation By-Pass Tunnel (IBPT) at Sardar Sarovar Project” it is stated that:

“Member Secretary informed that the technical specifications framed by CWC were sent to the members and invitees of the Sub group for their comments/suggestion. So far the comments of GOG and GOM only received. GOM has no comments on the specifications except that its cost will not be shared by them. GOG has sought to incorporate the provision in the control mechanism of IBPT to operate the service gates below MDDL, i.e. EL 110.64 M. in case of emergency with the permission of the competent authority. The representative of GOMP referred to the decision taken in the 9th Meeting of RCNCA, in which lowering of water level of reservoir through IBPT below 110.64m has been forbidden. Member (Civil), NCA stated that it would be a technical provision in the mechanism to be activated only after getting the approval of the competent authority. Having the provision does not mean that it would necessarily be operated. Secretary, NCA clarified that operation of IBPT below MDDL has not been forbidden. In fact, the notional loss of power generation due to such depletion shall be compensated by the GOG. The Chairman opined that such technically required provisions may be incorporated in the control mechanism for use only during acute emergencies with the permission of the Chairman, NCA. After detailed deliberation, it was decided that the provisions proposed by GOG can be accepted as a technical requirement in the control mechanism for IBPT. The provisions of water level sensors could be decided as per the work requirements and site conditions for which CE, NCA and Dir. (T), NCA shall visit the site in the due course of the time”.

As per above decision the NCA officers visited the project site in February/ March 2008. After above visit it was decided to prepare comprehensive report to be placed before NCA as there is a deviation from the suggestions of CWC regarding sensor arrangement. Further SSNNL sent all the details for level measurement and wireless remote data transmission, indication and control system for IBPT and deputed their officers to NCA in January 2010 for discussions. The matter was also discussed during the XIIth meeting of Hydromet Sub-Group held at New Delhi on 26.02.2010. In this meeting it is decided to link gate control mechanism of IBPT with the existing RTDAS network station at Sardar Sarovar Project and other at Gujarat-Rajasthan border for monitoring the delivery of water to Rajasthan in accordance with mandate given by NWDT.

Various agencies were contacted by SSNNL for installation of non-structural control measures (Sensor arrangement) for Service gates of IBPT as per Guidelines of CWC. The proposal furnished by M/s Vidyut Industries, Ahmedabad was discussed by Executive Engineer, N. P. Dam Div. No-2, Kevadia with Director (Telemetry), NCA. The proposal was found by and large in order in the line of CWC specification. Further actions are being taken by NCA to accommodate these sensors in NCA’s RTDAS system.


The Safe carrying capacity of the Narmada River below Sardar Sarovar Dam is only about 7.5 lacs cusecs while outflow proposed by tribunal with reference to design flood is 22 lacs cusecs. However, danger level at Bharuch, which is an important town located downstream of Sardar Sarovar Project is attained even with a flood of about 4 to 5 lacs cusecs.

As per the decisions of the NWDT, a reliable Hydro- meteorological network is required to be established in Narmada Basin for the purpose of formulation of flood forecasts in the basin, inflow forecasts to the reservoirs, and reservoir regulation of supplies from the Indira Sagar Project to Sardar Sarovar Project to meet the irrigation and other needs of Gujarat and Rajasthan. Accordingly, Narmada Control Authority is establishing a Real Time Data Acquisition System (RTDAS) in Narmada Basin. The RTDAS System planned to establish in Narmada Basin will have 96 Remote Stations (RS) and a Master Control Centre (MCC) at Indore M.P. to be implemented, in two phases

Real Time Data Acquisition System (RTDAS) for Narmada Basin has been planned initially with 26 Remote Stations (RS) in the first phase. Out of these 26 RS, 1 is in Gujarat at Sardar Sarovar Project and 1 Meteorological station is in Maharashtra at Dhadgaon. M/S Electronics Corporation of India Ltd (ECIL), Hyderabad has been awarded this work.

However, the software for flood forecasting though developed was not giving satisfactory results within the permissible limits as prescribed in the contract.

M/s ECIL has handed over 19 stations and master control centre Indore and accordingly the maintenance warranty started w.e.f. November 2007. For balance 7 stations M/s ECIL was asked to revive by 30th November 2007.

During 96th meeting of PSC of SSCAC held on 21.1.2009 it was informed that M/s ECIL could revive three more stations only out of remaining 7 stations and that they were not in a position to revive balance 4 stations at this stage. It was decided that contract with M/s ECIL be foreclosed with taking over of 3 more remote stations in addition to 19 station taken over earlier. The components of warranty and annual maintanance may continue to be executed in respect of taken over stations as per contract provisions.

SSCAC in its 76th meeting held on15.6.2009 decided that the contract with M/s. ECIL, may be foreclosed as per contract document, and further action be taken by NCA Secretariat accordingly. It is emphasized by the Chairman in 77th meeting of SSCAC that effective Decision Support System (DSS) need to be developed in an integrated manner with latest technology to ensure optimum reservoir operation. Hydromet Sub Group of NCA in its 13th meeting on 30.08.2010 has finalized a network of 40 stations and master Control Centre on GSM/ GPRS communication technology for operationalization of RTDAS. Hydromet Sub Group in its 15th meeting held on 14.11.2011 decided as under :

1. The Sub-group unanimously approved the GSM based two way communication technology as provided in the RFP document for adoption in the implementation of RTDAS network in Narmada Basin.
2. The operating system and other specification should be clearly identified and mentioned in the RFP document so that uncertainty and higher cost in tender document due to it could be avoided.
3. It was also decided by the Sub-group that the tender process which till now has been kept in abeyance may also be revived appropriately.

For development of water Management Software for inflow forecasting and Water Accounting an expert committee to meet alongwith an approach paper and should decide about the specification of the software/accuracy of forecasts, type of rainfall runoff model and also taken into consideration as to how the Quantitative Perceptive Forecast (QPF) cold be utilized in issuing flood forecast in Narmada Basin.

Pursuant to a decision taken by the Hydromet Sub-Group in its 15th meeting on the issue of development of appropriate rainfall run-off model for real time inflow forecasting for Narmada Basin a consultation cum brainstorming session was held at New Delhi on 14th November 2011.

According to decision taken in above brainstorming session IIT, CEDAC & NIH were requested to develop an appropriate ready to use rainfall run off model for real time inflow forecasting of Narmada Basin in R&D mode using their own resources. NCA will extend full cooperation and will also make data available for testing the model. NCA will also assist in getting R&D funding from MOWR or DST.

UNIT-III (HYDRO POWER WORKS)

The hydropower complex for generation of power from the project comprises of two power-houses viz. River Bed Power House (RBPH) with installed capacity of 1200 MW and Canal Head Power House (CHPH) with installed capacity of 250 MW. As per the initial planning, the partial benefits of Power/Irrigation from the Project were initially programmed to be derived in the year 1994-95 along with the raising of the Main Dam blocks to Minimum Draw down Level (MDDL) of 110.64 m. The planned progress and the resulting benefits however could not be realized due to various constraints. The dam height has been achieved upto crest level (EL121.92m) by the end of December 2006.
As per decision taken in the 74th meeting of SSCAC held on 27th September 2006 on Insurance Coverage for Sardar Sarovar Project, an Empowered Committee was constituted under the Chairmanship of Executive Member, NCA, consisting of members nominated by the Party States as well as Central Electricity Authority (CEA) and NCA, with Secretary (SSCAC) as its Member Secretary. The Committee held 3 meetings on 19.02.2007, 01.06.2007 and 13.06.2007 respectively.

The report of the Empowered Committee was discussed in the 75th SSCAC Meeting and the recommendations were accepted. The Committee decided that Standard Fire and Special Perils Policy i.e. Fire + RSMD (Riot, Strike, Malicious Damage) + Earthquake + Terrorism + STFI (Storm, Tornado, Flood, Inundation) without loss of production and without machinery breakdown may be taken up for Sardar Sarovar Power Project. Further, in 76th SSCAC meeting held on 15.06.2009, it was decided that the insurance premium is shareable by the three party States (GOMP/GOM/GOG) in the ratio of 57:27:16.

In 80th meeting of SSCAC held on 25.03.2013 committee directed Member (Power) NCA to frame guidelines/scope of insurance policy in Power Subcommittee of NCA and send to PSC of SSCAC for finalization. GoG should use these guidelines/scope for inviting bids from all companies.

2.12 RIVER BED POWER HOUSE (RBPH)

RBPH is an underground Powerhouse located on the Right Bank of the river and is about 165 m downstream of the dam with approach tunnel of 1.5 km. length. RBPH has six units of 200 MW each, deploying Francis type reversible turbines. 

2.13 CIVIL WORKS OF RBPH CAVERN & OTHER UNDERGROUND WORKS

The contract for civil works of the Power House amounting to Rs.40.42 Crore was awarded to M/s. Jaiprakash Associates on 7th July 1987 with stipulated completion in 93 months i.e by April 1995.
The Revised Implementation Schedule (RIS) of June 1991, approved by the SSCAC stipulated commissioning of first Unit of the RBPH on 1st September 1995.

The civil works of RBPH were however delayed due to development of distress zone in walls of the powerhouse cavern. Further excavation was stopped and the affected zones were treated. It was decided to take up further work along with strengthening of the already excavated portion and embedments for the installation of TG Sets with the arrival of equipments at site.

In addition to the above-mentioned reasons there was delay in procurement of Turbine Generator Sets (T.G. Sets), due to which the target dates of RIS of June 1991 could not be achieved. In fact, the civil works of RBPH had been suspended due to delay in supply of embedded parts of T.G. Sets. However the issue of the procurement of T.G. sets was settled with M/s. Sumitomo Corporation, Japan and Contract amendment and loan Agreement were signed on 30th Sept. 1998. The equipments for pump turbines for Unit 1 and 2 were received at site in June 1999, then the balance excavation work in the powerhouse cavern was started. The work of Power Houses completed by 31.12.2006.

The detailed item-wise progress of works under this contract has been highlighted in Table 2.7.
