CHENNAI: Anti-corruption NGO Arappor Iyakkam on Friday urged the Greater Chennai Corporation to carry out transparent tendering process for high-value civic projects.
In
a complaint to city corporation commissioner Gagandeep Singh Bedi, the
NGO flagged 72 limited closed tenders floated in December and January
with a value of Rs 10 lakh to Rs 46 lakh. In closed limited tenders,
bids are called from two or three selected bidders and finalised in a
short time, unlike open tenders where any number can participate and it
takes more time.
Following the cancellation of a Rs 5,454 crore worth tender for the supply and operation of about 79 lakh smart prepaid electricity meters by Madhyanchal Vidyut Vitran Nigam Ltd (MVVNL) in which Adani Group was said to be the lowest bidder, the Uttar Pradesh Power Consumer Council has demanded scrapping of similar tenders issued by three other DISCOMS in the state – Dakshinanchal, Purvanchal and Paschimanchal – citing high cost.

The total cost of these four tenders for the installation of 2.5 crore prepaid smart meters in these four DISCOMS is estimated to be over Rs 20,000 crore.
UP Power Consumer Council chairperson Avadhesh Verma, who had complained of “high cost”, said that like MVVNL, the lowest bids in the other three DISCOMS are also high.
“…even the lowest bids, like by the Adani Group in Madhyanchal Vidyut Vitran Nigam Ltd or those in Dakshinanchal, Purvanchal and Pashimanchal, are 48 per cent to 65 per cent higher than Rs 6,000 per meter set under the standard guidelines by the regulatory authority,” said Verma.
He said that ever since the tender was issued last year, he had been raising objections. One of the objections, Verma said, was dividing the tenders into just four big clusters instead of eight, thereby allowing entry of just “big players”, instead of “actual meter manufacturers”.

“I have written to Uttar Pradesh Electricity Regulatory Commission to re-consider similar tenders in the other three DISCOMS as well,” Verma added.
The consumer council alleged that the burden of the high price would be ultimately put on the consumers.
Last August, Uttar Pradesh Power Corporation Ltd floated one of its biggest tenders for the installation of 2.5 crore prepaid smart meters.
The Madhyanchal Vidyut Vitran Nigam Ltd tender was for the installation of “79.21 lakh” smart meters – 75.33 lakh consumer meters, while the rest were “system meters”. The estimated project cost was Rs 5,454 crore and these meters were to be installed in two phases — the first phase of 56.46 lakh, and the second phase of 18.82 lakh.
