1. Introduction and Project Description
1. The hydro power potential of Himachal Pradesh (HP) is about 27,436 MW, which is about
one-fourth of the total hydropower potential of India. The Government of Himachal Pradesh
(GoHP) in its Hydropower Policy (2007), has fixed its targets to harness the hydro power
with the goal to become the "hydropower state" of the country. The state's hydropower
policy includes development of infrastructure such as road access and transmission
interconnections to facilitate hydropower generation and its further evacuation to encourage
investment from the state, central government and private sectors. Majority of the
hydropower generation projects are run-off- the river type. Implementation of the hydro
policy will improve state financial health by earning revenue from supplying surplus power
to the National Grid. In addition to developing its hydropower resources, HP has to build out
its electric transmission infrastructure so that the additional power can be efficiently
transmitted within the state and exported to the national grid.
2. For improvement / strengthening of existing infrastructures and addition of new
infrastructure for effective power evacuation, the Government of Himachal Pradesh (GoHP)
through the Government of India (GoI), has requested the Asian Development Bank (ADB)
for a Multi-Tranche Financing Facility (MFF) to provide financial assistance to the power
sector investment program in the state. The investment program covers investments for
transmission of clean energy to National Grid of India by construction of pooling substations
and extra-high-voltage (EHV) transmission lines. To implement this activity, Himachal
Pradesh Government has established Himachal Pradesh Power Transmission Corporation
Limited (HPPTCL) vide HP Government notification no. MPP-A (1)-4/2006-Loose dated
11th September, 2008 as the State Transmission Utility (STU).
3. The $350 million investments in the MFF to be supported by Asian Development Bank
(ADB), will contribute to support the economic development in HP through expanded power
supplies from clean energy sources, and support a sustainable state electricity sector in the
state. The Himachal Pradesh Clean Energy Transmission Investment Program (HPCETIP)
is expected to produce the following outcomes: (i) increase in availability of clean energy
downstream at pooling stations for effective power evacuation in a financially sustainable
manner, (ii) improvement of state finances and power sector financial viability from sales
revenue earned from power exports, (iii) improve sector governance, (iv) improve capacity
in HP Power Transmission Corporation Limited (HPPTCL) for better planning,
implementation and management of power evacuation infrastructure, and energy efficiency
through a better power management program, and (v) Improvement in standards of
environmental and social safeguards in the sector. With ADB support, the proposed
program will sustain the energy sector reform agenda, and is expected to help attract other
long-term financiers to the state.
4. The Tranche 1 sub-projects are located in Kinnaur, Mandi, Kangra and Shimla districts of
Himachal Pradesh, The Index Map giving the location of the different sub projects is

2. Purpose of the Report
5. The purpose of semi-annual social monitoring report (SMR) is to analyze periodically over
the total implementation period of the project to comply with the approved safeguard
documents
6. This report covers resettlement and social safeguard monitoring results to comply with the
spirit of ADB policy to ‘enhance stakeholders’ trust ‘in and ability to engage with ADB, and
thereby increase the development impact (of projects) in which disclosure of safeguard
monitoring is a prominent aspect. This report covers status of resettlement implementation
and addressing all the issues related with social safeguards, with reference to the progress
achieved and current status of reporting period.
7. This consolidated report outlines monitoring implementation of social safeguard activities
during August 2015 to December 2015 and January 2016 to June 2016 in accordance with
the ADB Safeguard Policy Statement (SPS), 2009.
3. Social Safeguards Categorization
8. The sub-projects under Loan 2794-IND (Tranche 1) do not have any significant involuntary
resettlement impacts and the project overall has been categorized as ‘B’ for involuntary
resettlement and ‘C’ for Indigenous People (IP) in accordance with the ADB’s Safeguard
Policy Statement (SPS), 2009, which applies to this project.
4. Sub-projects under HPCETIP (Loan 2794- IND) Tranche1
9. The Tranche 1 comprises of six sub-projects (five substations and one transmission line
29.13 km long) The list of the sub-projects under HPCETIP (Loan 2794-IND) along with
their scope, IR impact, status of RP implementation and physical progress is presented
below in Table 1.
