Has the Project Development Objective been changed since Board Approval of the Project Objective? No Components Table Name Component A1: Muzaffarpur-Sursand 400 kV Transmission Line (Non-IDA financed):(Cost $29.70 M) Component A2: Dhalkebar-Bhittamod 400 kV Transmission Line (non-IDA financed):(Cost $17.90 M) Component B1: Hetauda-Dhalkebar-Inarwa Transmission Line and Substations:(Cost $118.60 M) Component B2: Synchronization of Operation of the Nepal and Indian Grids Component C: Technical Advisory Services:(Cost $11.00 M) Componet B3: Transmission Lines and IFMIS of NEA:(Cost $39.00 M) Overall Ratings Name Previous Rating Current Rating Progress towards achievement of PDO Satisfactory Satisfactory Overall Implementation Progress (IP) Moderately Satisfactory Moderately Satisfactory Overall Risk Rating Substantial Substantial Implementation Status and Key Decisions The Project has made good physical progress despite several challenges posed by the COVID-19 related pandemic. The Hetauda-Bharatpur, Bharatpur-Bardaghat and the Hetauda-Dhalkebar-Inaruwa transmission line have made good progress in terms of construction of foundation and erection of towers. The Hetauda-Bharatpur transmission line is expected to be completed by April 2022 and the Bharatpur-Bardaghat transmission in December 2021. The Dhalkebar substation has been completed and operational since August 2018. The physical progress of the Hetauda and Inaruwa substations are satisfactory, with over 80% of the works completed for Inaruwa substation and about 60% in Hetauda Substation. The Inaruwa substation is expected to be completed by December 2021 and the Hetauda Substation is expected to be completed by June 2022. The construction progress of 10/31/2021 Page 1 of 5 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Nepal-India Electricity Transmission and Trade Project (P115767) the HDI transmission line is satisfactory. The construction of 83% of tower foundations and the erection of 80% of the towers have been completed, and 98% of equipment supplies have been delivered. The Project has disbursed 80% of the original amount.
