GOVERNMENT OF INDIA CENTRAL WATER COMMISSION NEW DELHI MARCH, 1997 GUIDELINES FOR PREPARATION OF PROJECT ESTIMATES FOR RIVER VALLEY PROJECTS (SECOND REVISED EDITION ) FOREWORD TO THE SECOND REVISED EDITION The cost estimate of a project is an important document and forms the basis for its economic appraisal techno-economic acceptance by the Technical Advisory Committee and last but not the least investment clearance of the Government. cost estimates of the projects are drawn up on the basis of prices prevailing at the time of preparation of the project reports while the projects get executed over a period of time as per funds made available based upon envisaged implementation schedule to the extent possible The project report/cost at the time of appraisal is based upon the data/information collected by carrying out. minimum/adequate investigations necessary for preparation of the project report. The actual layout/designs do get subjected to change as per actual site conditions at. the time of execution of individual components of the project The above factors also become instrumental in increasing the cost of projects besides other factors such as price rise, inadequate or lumpsum provisions in the initial estimate, public resistance at the time of land acquisition and compensation etc. The rise in project cost is inevitable particularly in projects which have a long gestation period. Water Planning and Project Wing of ¢.W.c. has brought out the second revised edition of "Guidelines for Preparation of Project Estimates for River Valley Projects(1997)". An effort has also been made to make the guidelines moré comprehensive by incorporating a Chapter on "Preparation of Cost Estimates for Private Sector Power Projects", as private sector participation is likely to increase in the near future. The C.W.C. would welcome all suggestions for improvement of the edition. Mnrebrs Lowen (RAMESH CHANDRA) CHATRMAN CENTRAL WATER COMMISSION (4i4)
