Power Ministry Issues Market-Value Compensation Guidelines for Transmission Line Land
The Power Ministry has issued new guidelines to determine compensation for landowners affected by interstate transmission lines, focusing on market value rather than outdated circle rates. A Market Rate Committee, led by district officials, will assess land value where circle rates are lower than market rates. These guidelines aim to resolve Right of Way disputes, expedite transmission line construction, and apply to lines with voltage levels of 66 kV and above. States may adopt or modify these guidelines, with the central policy applying where no state policy exists.
