“The Distribution licensee and the Transmission Licensee shall prepare a cost data book covering broad specifications of
various items and materials as well as man-hours of various categories of Labour needed for providing any electric line
or electrical plant used for the purpose of giving supply of electricity based on the actual cost data of the financial year
immediately preceding the year in which the estimate is to be prepared”
The Regulation provides preparing the cost data book based on actual data of financial year immediately preceding the
year. The standard costs for various activities have been prepared based on the latest purchase order.
As per the above explained principle, the Standard Cost Data Book 2025-26 is prepared and shown in Annexure A &
B. In annexure A, Serial No. 1 to 23 represent HT activities, Serial No. 24 to 67 represent LT activities and Serial No.
68 to 95 represent EHV activities whereas annexure B represents Road Opening Charges.
