JOB SATISFACTION
INTRODUCTION:
Job satisfaction is one of the major interests to the field of organizational behavior and the
practice of HRM. It reflects employee’s attitudes towards their job and commitment to an
organization. Job satisfaction refers to one’s feelings or state of mind regarding the nature of
their work. It describes how content an individual is with his or her job.
Job satisfaction refers to a person’s feeling of satisfaction on the job, which acts as a motivation
to work. It is not self satisfaction, happiness or self contentment but satisfaction on the job.
Job satisfaction is defined as the pleasurable emotional state resulting from the appraisal of
one’s job as achieving or facilitating the achievement of one’s job values.
Job satisfaction is not the same as motivation. It is linked to productivity, motivation,
absenteeism, waste accidents, mental health, physical health and general life satisfaction.
There are three important dimensions to job satisfaction.
 Job satisfaction is an emotional response to a job situation. It can’t be seen, only
inferred.
 Job satisfaction is often determined by how well outcomes meet or exceed expectations.
 Job satisfaction represents several related attitudes.
VARIOUS DEFINITIONS OF JOB SATISFACTION:

Bullock (1952) defined job satisfaction as an attitude, which results from
balancing and summation of many specific likes dislikes experienced in connection with the
job.
Smith (1955) defined to job satisfaction as the employee’s judgment of how well his
job on whole is satisfying his various needs.
Locke (1969) defines job satisfaction as the pleasurable or positive emotional state
revolving from the appraisal of one’s job or job experie
According to Vroom, “job satisfaction is the reaction of the workers against the role they
play in their work.”
“ job satisfaction as a general attitude of the workers constituted by their approach
towards the wages, working conditions, control, promotion related with job, social relations in
the work, recognition of talent and some similar variables personal characteristics, and group
relations apart from the work life”.
--Blum& Naylor.
“Job satisfaction is the total of the sentiments related with the job conducted.
If the worker perceives that his/her values are realized with in the job, she/he improvises a
positive attitude towards his/her job and acquires job satisfaction”.
--Mc comic & Tiffin.
From these definitions, we can define the job satisfaction as the sum of all negative
and positive aspects related to the individual’s salary his/her physical and emotional working
conditions, the authority she/he has the autonomous usage of this authority, the level of
success she/he has maintained and the rewards given due to this success, the social state
maintained in relation with his/her job.
THE IMPORTANCE OF JOB SATISFACTION:
The job satisfaction is the condition of establishing an healthy organizational
environment in an organization. Individuals want to maintain statute, high ranks and authority
by giving their capabilities such as knowledge, ability education, health etc. The individuals

who can’t meet their expectations, with regard to their jobs become dissatisfied. Thus this
dissatisfaction affects the organization for which she/ he works.
Job satisfaction is very important for a person’s motivation and contribution to
production. Job satisfaction may diminish irregular attendance at work, replacement workers
with in a cycle or even the rate of accidents.
Job satisfaction is an employee’s thoughts and emotions towards their job and how
they evaluate their job. This can be a judgment of their job overall, or of specific judgment such
as pay, promotions, work tasks, coworkers and supervisors. It is important for organizations to
care about their employee’s job satisfaction. It will promote employees organizational
commitment when they feel that they are satisfied with their jobs.
DIMENSIONS OF JOB SATISFACTION:
There are six dimensions that represent the most important characteristics of
a job about which people have effective responses.
 The work itself:
The content of the work itself is a major source of satisfaction. This means the extent
to which the job provides the individual with interesting tasks, opportunities for learning, and
the chance to accept responsibility. Some of the most important ingredients of job satisfaction
include interesting and challenging work and a job that provides status.
 Compensation:
Wages and salaries are significant, but a complex and multidimensional factor in job
satisfaction. Money not only helps people attain their basic needs, but also is instrumental in
providing upper level need satisfaction. Employees often consider salary as a reflection of how
management views their contribution to the organization. Fringe benefits are also important, but
they are not as influential.
 Career Growth:
Promotional opportunities seem to have a varying effect on the job satisfaction. This
is because promotions take different forms and include a variety of rewards. For example

individuals who are promoted on the basis of seniority often experience job satisfaction but not
as much as those who are promoted based on their performance.
 Supervision:
Supervision is another moderately important source of job satisfaction. There are two
dimensions of supervisory style that effect on job satisfaction. One is employee centeredness,
which is measured by the degree of which a supervisor takes personal interest in the welfare of
employees. The other dimension is participation or influence, illustrated by managers who allow
their people to participate in decisions that affect their own jobs. This approach leads to higher
job satisfaction. It is proved that a participative environment.
 Coworkers:
Friendly, cooperative coworkers are a modest source of job satisfaction the work
group serves as a source of support, comfort, advice, and assistance to the individual. A good
work makes the job more enjoyable.
If this factor is not considered with care, then if may have reverse effects,
meaning there by that the people are difficult to get along with. This will have a negative effect
on job satisfaction.
 Work Environment:
Work environment and working conditions are factors that have a modest effect
on job satisfaction. If working conditions are good clean, attractive surroundings, employee,
find it easier to carryout their job.
THEORIES OF JOB SATIAFACTION:
There are some theories to describe the job satisfaction.
 Fulfillment theory:
This theory measures satisfaction in terms of rewarded. A person receives or the extent
to which his needs are satisfied. Further they thought that there is a direct relationship between
job satisfaction and the actual satisfaction of the expected needs. The main difficult what he
feels he should receive at there would be considerable difference in this approach is that job
satisfaction as observed by willing is not only a function of what a person receives but also what
he feels he should receive at there would considerable difference in the accruals and

expectations of persons. Thus job satisfaction can’t be regard as merely a function of hw much a
person receives from his job.
 Discrepancy theory:
The proponents of this theory argues that satisfaction is the function of what a
person actually receives from his job situation and he thinks he should receive or what
expect to receive. When the actual satisfaction is derived less than expected satisfaction, it
results dissatisfaction. Job satisfaction and dissatisfaction are functions of the perceived
relationship between what one wants from ones job & what one perceives it is offering.
 Equity theory:
The proponents of this theory are of the viewed that persons satisfaction is determined by this
perceived equity which in turn is determined by his input output balance compared to his
comparison of others input output balance. Input output balance is the perceived rate of what a
person receives from his job relative to what he contributes to the job. This theory is of the view
that both under the over rewards lead to dissatisfaction, while the under reward causes feeling of
unfair treatment over reward leads to feelings guilt and discomfort.
 Two factor theory:
This theory was developed by Herzberg, Mnusener, Peterson and corpwell who
identified certain factors as satisfies and dissatisfies. Factors such as achievement, recognition,
responsibility etc, are satisfies, the presence of which causes satisfaction by their absence
however does not result in job satisfaction.
FACTORS INFLUENCING ON JOB SATISFACTION:
Job satisfaction as a bydimensional concept consisting of motivational factors,
personal factors, intrinsic &extrinsic dimensions. Intrinsic sources of satisfaction depend on the
individual characteristics of the person such as the ability to use initiative relations with
superiors or the work that the person actually performs. Extrinsic sources of satisfaction are
situational & depend on the environment such as pay, promotion or job security. Both extrinsic
& intrinsic job facts should be represented as equally as possible in a composite measure of
overall job satisfaction.
PERSONAL FACTORS:

These sources are include worker’s age, sex, education, marital status and their
personal characteristics, family background, socio economic background etc.
AGE:
The relationship between age and job satisfaction could be complex. Generally one
would expect that as the person would grow order he would get greater satisfaction with his job
particularly because of the experience and therefore the case with which he would be able to
perform it.
SEX:
There is as yet no consistence evidence as to whether women more satisfied with
their jobs than men, holding such factors as job and occupational level constant, one might
predict this to be case, considering the generally lower occupational aspiration of women.
EDUCATIONAL LEVEL:
There is a negative relationship between educational level & job satisfaction. The
higher the education the higher reference group which the individual looks to for guidance to
evaluate his job rewards.
MARITAL STATUS:
There is a relationship between marital status & job satisfaction. Generally one
would assume that that with increasing responsibilities placed on an individual because of
marriage he would value his job little more than an unmarried employee.
MOTIVATIONAL FACTORS:
Motivation of employees is the most important aspect of managing an enterprise. The
success or failure of an enterprise depends mostly on how best the employees working are the
involved and motivated. Among the four essential & factors of production namely men,
machine, material & money. The most important is men. Motivation of the employee can be sub
divide into two groups
1. Extrinsic factors & 2. Intrinsic factors.
 Extrinsic factors:

Extrinsic factors are monetary related factors an employee will have positive
feeling. Extrinsic source of satisfaction are situational & depends on environment such as pay,
promotion or job security.
 Salary:
Wages and salaries are the multidimensional and complex factors in job
satisfaction. Higher salary should lead to higher job satisfaction and lower salary should lead to
lower job satisfaction. So many studies have found that job satisfaction increased with increase
in wages & salaries.
 Job expectation
When an employee joins in an organization he expects something from job. Job
satisfaction of an employee can be based on the fact to what effect his job meets his
expectations. Employee expectations may include about working conditions, work, colleagues,
supervision etc.
 Comparison of outputs:
Persons tend to compare his out comes with the other persons out comes. The out
comes consists of primarily of rewards such as pay, status, promotion and intrinsic interest in
the job. Comparison is mainly with ratio of the inputs or he puts in and ratio is equal he will be
satisfied otherwise the person in an effort to restore equity may after the inputs or outcomes,
cognitively distort the inputs or out comes, leave the field, act on the other, or change the other.
 Job security:
Security is a lower order need which an employee have job security has its effect
on the employee morale. An insecure person’s morale will be low and will have its effect on the
employee morale. Secure person’s will work effectively and have job satisfaction.
 Performance appraisal:
As the performance appraisal is linked to promotions, rewards, feedback it has its
effect on the employee satisfaction. If the appraisal is not proper employee will be dissatisfied.

 INTRINSIC FACTORS:
Intrinsic factors keeps the employees motivated and make them satisfied from
work. The intrinsic factors are:
 Recognition and praise:
Human beings are self centered and long for praise. They want to be recognized
and praised for their work. They expect their superiors to recognizer their efforts and praised
rewarded. This will increase their satisfaction and make them more active.
 Autonomy or freedom:
Employees desire certain amount of freedom to work. The autonomy to tale
decisions and influences others. If this freedom is absent and it will have its effect on the job
satisfaction. The person, who has maximum of autonomy, will have high satisfaction. Otherwise
it will be low.
 Participative management:
Participative management has a positive impact on the employee. Openness of the
higher ups towards the employee ideas will keep the employee morale high and keep him
satisfied from the job.
 Belongingness:
It is the complete identification of employee with the company. He should regard
goals of the company as his own goals. If he has high belongingness it shows that an employee
satisfied with his job.
 Career advancement:
Employee desire to in higher position if they perceive that they have opportunity to
grow in their career they will be motivated and show this in their performance. If the employees
feel that they reached to a level of saturation in their career they will be de motivated and will
be dissatisfied.

 Achievement :
Employees have a need to achieve something worthy and have influence. If this
need is not fulfilled, they will be dissatisfied.
 Job signification:
It refers to the impact created on the others by one’s contribution. A feeling of
importance is perceived by the employee is the ultimate goal of doing his work in an excellent
manner.
NATURE OF WORK AND JOB DESIGN:
Job variety:
It allows the employees to perform different operations requiring different skills.
This will arrest monotony in performing repetitive activity.
job monotony:
It refers to the identity that an employee has his contribution after performing a
complete piece of work.
Challenging:
Employees perceive to have a challenging work in an organization and this will his
develop a active state and will be satisfied with his job.
Contribution to groups:
Employees derive satisfaction by knowing how his work affects the groups and
how far he can influence his group.
Feedback:
Feedback refers to information that tells employees how well they are
performing. It satisfies the inner urge of people wanting to know they are performing on the
assigned work.
Contribution to society:
Employees derive satisfaction by knowing how worth full and meaningful is his work
and how his work able to contribution to society.

Consequences of satisfactions:
High job satisfaction may lead to improve productivity, increased turnover, improved
attendance, reduced accidents, less job stress and lower unionization.
Job satisfaction and productivity:
 Job Satisfaction And Employee Turn Over:
High employee turnover is of concern for employers because it disrupts normal
operations, causes morale problems for those who stick on, and increases the cost involved in
selecting and training replacement. The employer does whatever possible to minimize turnover,
making the employees feel satisfied on their jobs, being one such.
In four major reviews of the relationship between satisfaction and turnover had been
demonstrated that workers who have relatively low levels of job. Employee perceive that
intrinsic and extrinsic rewards (example: play) distributed equally. Inequitable distribution fails
to convince the employees close correlation between hard work and rewards.
 Job satisfaction and performance:
The most accurate statement is that the high performance contributes to high job
satisfaction. A better performance typically lead to higher economic, sociology and
psychological rewards in proportion to their performance. On the other hand, if rewards are seen
as inadequate for the level of satisfaction leads to either greater or leser commitment, which
then affect effort and eventually affects performance again. The result is a continuously
operating performance satisfaction-effort loop.
Alternatively, a different scenario emerges if performance is low. Employees might not
receive the rewards they are hoping for the dissatisfaction are the most likely to quit their jobs
and that organizational units with the lowest average satisfaction levels tend to have the highest
rates.
 Job satisfaction and Absenteeism:

Job satisfaction will Correlation of satisfaction to absenteeism is also proved conclusively.
Workers who are dissatisfied are more likely to take “mental health” days i.e. days off not due
to illness or personal business. Simply stated, absenteeism is high when satisfaction is low. As
in turnover, absenteeism is subject to modification by certain factors. The degree to which
people feel their jobs are important has a moderating influence on their absence. Employee who
feel that this work is important tend to clock in regular attendance. Besides, it is important to
remember that while not necessarily result in low absenteeism, low satisfaction is likely to bring
high absenteeism.
 Job satisfaction and Safety:Poor safety practices are a negative consequence of
low satisfaction level. When people are discouraged about their jobs, company and
supervisors, they are more liable to experience accidents. An underlying reason for such
accidents is that discouragement may take one’s attention away from the task at hand. In
attention leads directly to accidents.
 Job satisfaction and job Stress:
Job stress is the body’s response to any job-oriented factor that threatens to disturb the
person’s equilibrium. In the process of experiencing stress, the employee’s inner stage changes.
Prolonged stress can cause the employee serious ailment such as heart diseases, ulcer, blurred
vision, lower back pain, dermitis and muscle aches.
Chronic job satisfaction is a powerful source of job stress. The employee may see no
satisfactory short-term solution to escape this type of stress. An employee may trap in a
dissatisfyingjob may withdraw by such means as high absenteeism and tardiness or employee
may quit.
 Job Satisfaction and Unionization:It is proved that job satisfaction is a major
cause for unionization. Dissatisfaction with wages, job security, fringe benefits, chances
for promotion and treatment by supervisors are reasons make employees join unions.
Another dimension is that dissatisfaction can have not impact on the tendency to take
action with in the union, such filing grievances or striking.
 Other Effects of Satisfaction:
In addition to the above it has been claimed that satisfied employees tend to have better
mental and physical health and learn new job related tasks more quickly.

Sources Of job Satisfaction:
Several job elements contribute to job satisfaction. The most important amongst them
are wage-structure, nature work, promotion chances, and quality of supervision, workgroup and
work condition.
 Wages:
Wages play an important role on influencing the job satisfaction. This is
because of mainly two reasons :
I. Money is an important instrument in fulfilling one’s needs.
II. Employees often see pay a reflection on management’s concern for the
 Nature of work:Most of the employees have intellectual challenges on job. But too
many challenges create frustration and a feeling of failure under condition of moderate
challenge, employee’s experience, pleasure and satisfaction.
 Promotions:Promotional opportunities affect job satisfaction considerably. The desire
for promotion is generally strong among employees, as it involves change in job content
pays, responsibility, independence, status and the like.
 Supervision:There is positive relation between the quality of supervision and job
satisfaction.
 Supervision acts maintaining satisfaction :
 Maintain open lines of communication.
 Crate a good physical environment.
 Remedy standard conditions.
 Transfer discontented employees.
 Change the perception of dissatisfied employees.
 Display concerned employees.
 Give ample recognition.
 Conduct morale building management.
 Practice good management.
Measuring Job Satisfaction:

Also called survey of morale, opinion, attitude, climate, or quality of work life.
Management conducts job satisfaction survey in order to get information for making sound
decisions. A job satisfaction survey is a procedure by which employees report their feelings
towards their job and work environment. The responses are then combined and analyzed.
Various ways of measuring job satisfaction are available.
 Rating scales:
The most common approach for measuring job satisfaction is the use of rating scales.
These scales fall in two categories. One is called tailor-made standardized scales, which before
their use, have been developed to establish group norms on scales to ensure the reliablility and
validity of the measuring instruments. Mostly, using method is ‘Tailor – made scales’.
 Critical incidents:
It was developed by HERTBERG and his associates in their research on the two-factor
theory of motivation. The employees were asked to describe incidents on their job particularly
satisfied. These incidents were then content analyzed in determining which aspects closely
related to positive and negative attitudes.
 Interviews:
Personal interviews are yet another method for measuring job satisfaction. Employees
are individually and the responses reveal their satisfaction or dissatisfaction.
 Action tendencies:
The represents the inclinations. People have to avoid or approach certain things by
gathering information about how they feel like action with respect to their jobs. The job
satisfaction can be measured.
Benefits Of Job Satisfactions:These indicate the general level of satisfaction
 Improved communication.
 Improved attitudes.
 It helps to discover the cause of indirect productivity problems, such as absenteeism,
turnover and poor quality of work.
 They help management to assess training needs.

 It is used as an indicator of the effectiveness of organizational reward systems.
 It is used in the evaluation of the impact of organizational changes on employee
attitudes.
 Spirit of co-operation and mutual respect, etc.
Satisfaction And Management Implications:
Job satisfaction has behavioral implications. Particularly manager must be clear that :
 Employee dissatisfaction is most frequently caused by what is perceived to be low pay
and boring work.
 Employee’s dissatisfaction is largely influenced by their feelings of inequity.
 Individual satisfaction or dissatisfaction is more important than overall satisfaction or
dissatisfaction of the employees.
 .It has impact on employee turnover, absenteeism and unionization.

PROFILE OF APGENCO
I. POWER SECTORREFORMSIN INDIA:
II. Introduction: The power sector has transited to an era or controlled competition
giving a meaningful role for the private sector and the market to play in the nation’s
infrastructure building. Reform in the power sector was officially kicked off in September 1991
with the passing of the electricity laws (amendment) act, allowing the private sector in power
generation. This was followed by the center’s resolution in October 1991 that opened up
electricity generation, supply and distribution to the private sector. These came soon after the
assumption of office by the Narasimha Rao’s Government.
A. REFORMS IN THE STATE ELECTRICITY BOARD:
The reforms process turned active only in late 1996 with the adoption of the “common
minimum nation action plan for power” at the Chief Minister’s conference. This action plan,
which laid the foundation for reforms, is the state electricity boards [SEB’s] have the following
salient features.
 Formulation of national energy policy.
 Setting up of the central and state electricity regulatory commissions.
 Rationalization of retail tariffs.
 Private sector participation in private distribution.
 Streaming the role of central agencies concerned with project approvals.
 Autonomy and improvement in the management and physical parameters of
SEB’s.
It took another 18 months before the reforms process got in to implementation mode
with the promulgation of the electricity regulatory commissions ordinance by the president of
India on April 25, 1998. This ordinance primarily gave legal shape to the two cardinal features
of the common minimum action plan establishment of regulatory commission and
rationalization of retail tariff. This provision invited considerable flak from the prefer power

lobby and was unceremoniously shelved when the ordinance was passed in it, an act of
parliament on July 2, 1998, reducing SERCs to toothless tigers as far as rationalization of retail
tariff was concerned. However, the clause requiring the State Government to compensate the
person affected by the grant of subsidy in the manner state commission may direct was retained,
there by giving some vestige of authority to the regulators.
Andhra Pradesh Power Generation Corporation Limited is one of the pivotal
organizations of Andhra Pradesh, engaged in the business of Power generation. Apart from
operation & Maintenance of the power plants it has undertaken the execution of the ongoing &
new power projects scheduled under capacity addition program and is taking up renovation &
modernization works of the old power stations.
When APSEB came into existence in 1959, APSEB started functioning with the
objectives of maintaining the power sector efficiently and economically simultaneously
ensuring demand meets the supply.
During the last decade inadequate capacity addition and low system frequency operation
of less than 48.5 Hz for more than half a decade considerably reduced the power supply
reliability.
The consumer have grown up from two and half lakhs to over one crore, the energy
handled per annum from 686 MV to over 40,000 MV. The annual revenue has increased from
mere Rs 65 crores to Rs 48000 crores. In the after reforms process is taken up in a big way and
APGENCO could complete 2X250MU KTPS V- stage and Srisailam left bank Power House.
International agencies have are now interested in taking part in VTPS stage– IV.
HISTORY OF APGENCO: APGENCO came into existence on 28.12.1998 and commenced
operations from 01.02.1999. This was a sequel to Government’s reforms in Power Sector to
unbundled the activities relating to Generation, Transmission and Distribution of Power. All the
Generating Stations owned by erstwhile APSEB were transferred to the control of APGENCO.
The installed capacity of APGENCO as on 31.03.2007 is 6760.9 MW comprising
3172.50 MW Thermal, 3586.4 MW Hydro and 2 MW Wind power stations, and contributes
about half the total Energy Requirement of Andhra Pradesh. APGENCO is third largest power
generating utility in the Country next to NTPC and Maharashtra. Its installed Hydro capacity of
3586.4 MW is the highest among the Country.

APGENCO has an equity base of Rs.2107 crores with 10804 dedicated employees as on
31.12.2006. The company has an asset base of approximately Rs.12000 crores.
a) Power Sector Status in India:
 Generation during 2007-08 (April).
 Daily reservoir levels.
 Daily generation report.
 Generation during 2006-07(April-March).
B. OUR POWER PLANTS:
Our power plants meet more than half the total energy requirement of Andhra Pradesh as
on 06-03-2007 APGENCO owns, operates and maintains five Thermal Plants with an installed
capacity of 3172.5 MW, 17 Hydel Plants (including 3 mini Hydel Plants) with an install
capacity of 3586.4 MW, among them Tungabadhra HES is joint project (80 : 20) with
Government of Karnataka and Machkund power utility (70 : 30) with Orissa Government, and 2
MW Ramagiri Wind Power Plant.
APGENCO has also undertaken operation and maintenance of Gas Power Plant at

II. GENESIS:
During 1985 the installed generating capacity in the state was 1963 MW of hydel units and 983
MW of thermal units. Most of these units were located in the northern half of the state. In view of
the predominant hydel installation in the Southern Region of the state, It is considered necessary
to increase thermal generation in the area thereby strengthening the base load capacity. Also, the
need for stable power supply in the Rayalaseema region is considered a must, in view of the rapid
industrial growth envisaged in the region. Government of Andhra Pradesh has taken a policy
decision of locating a 420 MW thermal power station in Rayalaseema, based on water from the
Mylavaram Dam on the Penneru River.
Based on Government Decision APSEB has taken up 2 Nos. 210 MW thermal units under
Rayalaseema Thermal Power Project (Stage-I).
The project was approved by the Planning Commission in March, 1988 at an estimated cost of Rs.
503.71 Cr. The Asian Development Bank, Manila has sanctioned a loan of US $ 190 Millions
towards civil works and local equipment.
The project helps improved the voltage profile in Rayalaseema region which is economically
backward and drought prone. It is built on a 2500 acre area acquired. Water for the project is
drawn from Mylavaram reservoir formed by Mylavaram, dam across River Pennar, through a 22
KM. long steel pipe line laid underground.
III. GENERAL
Rayalaseema Thermal Power Project is one of the major power generation facilities developed in
Andhra Pradesh to meet the growing demand for power. The Project envisaged the installation of
5 x 210 MW coal based thermal generation units. The first 210 MW unit came for commercial
operation on 25-Nov-1994 and the second 210 MW unit on 30-Mar-1995.
IV. LOCATION
The project is located at a distance of 8 KM from Muddanur Railway Station of South Central
Railway on Chennai-Mumbai Railway Line. The site selected is at an adequate distance from the
populous towns and the land (2600 acres) is government land not put to any use. The water
requirement for the project is envisaged to be supplied from the "Mylavaram" Reservoir, which is
21km away from the project and "Brahma Sagar" Reservoir, which is 65km awya from the
project. The project is quite near to the existing railway line and transmission lines of the Andhra
Pradesh Grid.

V. OBJECT OF THE PROJECT:
The Rayalaseema region is a drought prone area and has to depend on Industrial Growth for its
economic development. Power being basic need, RTPP has ensured the proper and quality supply.
The objective also improved the base load Thermal generating capacity of the AP Grid.
VI. STAGE-I:
Zero date is 14-Mar-1990.
Unit-1 is synchronized to grid on 31-Mar-1994.

PROFILE OF RTPP
HISTORICAL BACKGROUND OF RTPP, KADAPA (Dist), A.P.:
A Beginning: Almost a century after the invention of electricity it was introduced in India for
commercial use in a humble way. For the first time in the year 1889 a mini hydroelectric
powerhouse with a capacity of 15KW was constructed on a small rivulet in Darjeeling district
and electric power was supplied in its vicinity. Within, two decades, in 1909 a 10KW diesel set
was installed in Hyderabad for supply of electricity to the king’s palaces. This was the first step
in the development of electric power in Andhra Pradesh (HYDERABAD).
GENERAL: Rayalaseema Thermal Power Project is one of the major Powers
generating facilities in Andhra Pradesh to meet the growing demand for power in the Southern
part of the state. The Project envisaged the installation of 2X210 MW of Thermal Generation
units under Stage – I.
LOCATION: The Project is located at a distance of 8 KM from Muddanur Railway station
of South Central Railway on the Chennai – Mumbai Railway line. The site selected is at an
adequate distance from the populous Town and the land belonged to the Government and was
not in use. It is quiet near to the existing Railway line and Transmission lines of AP
TRANSCO.
The water requirement for the Project is met from Mylavaram Reservoir, which is at 20
KM from the Project through two dedicated pipelines.
COAL LINKAGE: The main Coal Linkage to RTPP is M/s SCCL and is transported
through rail. Occasionally RTPP gets the coal requirements from M/s MCL, Orissa and this is
transported through ‘Rail-Sea-Rail’ Method.

OBJECTIVE OF THE PROJECT: The Rayalaseema region is in the Southern part of
the state and most of the generation facilities are in the Northern part of the state, except for two
major Hydel stations in the Central part of the state. The Rayalaseema region thus used to get
power through long EHT line and frequently it is used to face the low voltage problem
particularly during the summer when the Hydel stations generations goes down. The region is a
drought prone area and has to depend on Industrial growth for its economic development power
bring basic need, RTPP has ensured the proper and quality supply the objective also improved
the base load Thermal generating capacity of the AP Grid.
PROJECT COST: The original cost of the Project as approved by the Planning
Commissioner is Rs 503.71 crores and the revised cost of the Project based on actual
expenditure is Rs 860.30 crores and the increase over general cost is 70%.

ELECTRICITY PROGRESS IN A.P.(19911-1922):
The electricity department was established in 1911 under the Government Mint. Later
Hussain Sugar Bund was electrified on Saturday 25th October; 1913 A.D and street
electrification work was started within and outside the Municipal limits of Hyderabad and
electricity was provided on the residency roads. In Hyderabad 10 substations were erected for
the distribution of power in the city. The tariff was 6 annas (Osmania sikka) per unit with a
minimum of Rs.5/-O.S.per month. Programmes of expansion to cover other town if the Nizams
State was take up. Under this programme steps were taken to generate electric power at
Aurangabad, Raichur, Warangal, and Gulbarga etc.
The Government of India framed Electricity rules in 1910 so as to ensure fair
distribution and supply of power as well as take all necessary precaution for the use of power by
the consumers and concerned departments.
POWER DEVELOPMENT IN A.P AN OPPORTUNITY KNOCKING:
We are standing at the entrance of 21st century and opportunity is knocking at its door.
The end of the century offers us the opportunity to assure India’s and in particular our state’s
electricity needs for decades to come.
Electricity demand in A.P is estimated to grow at an annual compound growth rate of around
10% as against the National growth rate of 6.8%. The installed capacity of A.P state Electricity
Board has grown from 213 MW in 1960-61 to 6124 MW at present (Excluding central share).
The available capacity in A.P is 6135.5 MW, which includes 897 MW from central
generating stations. As the capacity addition could not keep pace with the growth in demand, a
shortage of 2000MW in the installed capacity exists now. The growth in demand has been
mainly due to extensive Rural Electrification Program and enerzisation of agricultural pump
sets at one-lakh pump sets per year since 1985-86 besides increase in domestic loads.

A.P.S.E.B has long been a trendsetter in breaking new paths and adopting the STATE-
OF-THEATRE technology in its power plants. The technology adopted in the power station
has been continuously upgraded both in the Hydro and Thermal station and also in transmission
distribution and general management to enhance the productivity and improve the operations.
RAYALASEEMA THERMAL POWER PROJECT STAGE – I:
Rayalaseema comprises of four districts Kadapa, Kurnool, Anantapur and Chittoor
which are considered to be in backward region and the area lags behind in all respects such as
Agriculture, Industry and education prior to the Industrial development, Agriculture is purely
dependent on rainfall. People used to live on Agriculture sector owing to the advancement of
Science and Technology some of barites and Mine Industries were started subsequently and
more Industries were established in this region. Added to this, the region is considered to be
hottest region and temperature often goes up to 50 degrees centigrade in summer. Therefore the
need for Electricity to meet the necessity of the inhabitants and the Industrial belt of this region
was felt, as the supply that was generated by the Agencies was found insufficient. Hence the
Government established Rayalaseema Thermal Power Project in 1994. Rayalaseema Thermal
Power Project is one of the major power generation facilities began developed in Andhra
Pradesh to meet the growing demand for power. The project envisages the installation of
210MW power generation units under StageI.
The first 210 MW under commissioned on 31-3-1994 and second unit on 25-2-1995.
Rayalaseema region is in the Southern part of the state and most of the generating facilities are
in the Northern part of the state except two major Hydel stations in the Central part. The
Rayalaseema region therefore gets in power, therefore gets power needs through long EHT lines
and frequently face low voltage problem particularly during summer when the Hydro stations
generations goes down. Priority is therefore given for Industrial development and power being
the basic infrastructure; it is necessary to ensure proper power supplies. In this context the
RTPP is taken up not only to improve the base load capacity of the Grid but also to ensure
proper voltage profile in the area under all conditions.

PLANT DESIGN
LOCATION OF THE PROJECT:
The project is located at a distance of 8KM from Muddanur Railway station of south
Central Railway on the BROADGUGE RAILWAY LINE connecting CHENNAI-MUMBAI.
The site near Mekalabayalapalli is selected for the Thermal Power Project as it is at an adequate
distance from populous towns and the land is government land not put to any use. The site is
comparatively nearer to MALAVARAM RESERVOIR, which supplies water. It is quite near
to the existing railway lines. Transmission lines of A.P grid are also nearby to supply
construction power, later for evacuation of power generated and supplying reliable power.
COST ESTIMATES:
The total cost of the project was estimated at Rs503.71 crores based on1987 prices and
now revised to 840 crores and it is financed partly by Asian development bank, Manila and
partly by Power Finance Corporation, Delhi and self finance.
ESSENTIAL INPUTS TO PROJECTS:
