EXECUTIVE SUMMARY i. The Compensation Plan for Temporary Damages (CPTD) has been prepared for proposed transmission lines(2 nos.) associated with Transmission system for ultra-mega solar power park at Pavagada, Tumkur district, Karnataka covered under Phase-II Part-A & Part-B project, funded by Asian Development Bank (ADB). The Executing Agency (EA) is Power Grid Corporation of India Limited (PGCIL/POWERGRID) who will also be responsible for implementing the project. The Project is categorized as „B‟ for Involuntary Resettlement (IR) and "C" for Indigenous Peoples impact, as per the ADB safeguard category. CPTD is based on POWERGRID‟s Environmental and Social Policy & Procedures, 2009 (ESPP) and the Action Plan for Safeguards for the use of Country Safeguard System (CSS) under the ADB Safeguard Policy Statement 2009 (SPS). The CPTD is guided by The Electricity Act 2003, The Indian Telegraph Act, 1885, Ministry of Power(MoP) guideline of Oct.‟ 2015 on RoW Compensation, ESPP and the Action Plan for Safeguards. ii. The project components under the proposed ADB financing include construction of 359 km of 400kV line including 13.50 km Multicircuitline along with extension/augmentation of associated substationsat Tumkur(Pavagada), Tumkur (Vasantnarsapur) & Devanahally (KPTCL)located in the Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh States. The CPTD has been prepared based on the preliminary route survey/ investigation. The impacts are temporary in nature in terms of temporary impacts of land and loss of crops. Additionally, loss of tress is also foreseen along with small structures associated with agricultural use. No physical displacement is foreseen. Temporary impacts are mostly foreseen during the project implementation/construction. Therefore, the CPTD remains as a draft, as final survey is not done yet and actual temporary impacts shall be known only during implementation which will be based on the detailed design and final survey once the construction contractor is mobilized for implementation.
