Indian Telegraph Act, 1885 – Section 10 & 16 Transmission utilities (state transcos, POWERGRID, private licensees) use powers of the Telegraph Act to place lines/towers, but land ownership does not transfer. Only Right of User (ROU) is taken. The Supreme Court (POWERGRID vs. Century Textiles, 2017) confirmed that compensation must be paid for actual damages. ✅ How Compensation Is Calculated: Tower Base + RoW Corridor Compensation is paid under two heads: A) Tower Base Compensation This is one-time compensation for the land directly occupied by the tower legs + foundation. Formula (adopted by most States based on MoP 2015 guidelines) Tower Base Area (sqm) × Circle Rate (per sqm) × 85% Where: • Tower base area = area covering all tower footings (typically 15–30 sqm per leg, total 80–100 sqm for 132 kV; up to 200–350 sqm for 400–765 kV towers). • Circle rate = govt notified land value (converted to per sqm). • 85% = recommended multiplier for permanent restriction of land use. Example If a 400 kV tower occupies 150 sqm and circle rate is ₹2,000 per sqm: 150 × 2000 × 0.85 = ₹2,55,000 (one-time) B) Corridor / Right of Way (RoW) Compensation Landowners get compensation for the remaining corridor width, because they cannot build structures under the line. MoP 2015 Nationwide Standard • 400 kV & above: ₹ 3–5 lakh per hectare (one-time) OR 15% of land value depending on state. • 220 kV & 132 kV: Mostly ₹1–2 lakh per hectare or 10% of land value. Many states follow % of land value: • UP, Rajasthan, Haryana, MP, Maharashtra → 15% for 400 kV; 10% for 220/132 kV. • Kerala pays up to 100% land value for tower base (state policy). 📌 What Is Actually Paid? (Typical State Practice) Most states pay: 1. Tower Base Compensation • 85% of land value × tower area Adopted widely (POWERGRID, UPPTCL, MPPTCL, GETCO, TANGEDCO etc.) 2. Crop Damage • Based on agriculture dept. rates. • Paid for: ○ crop loss during stringing ○ crop loss during tower erection ○ future annual crop damage if access road created 3. Tree Compensation • As per forest/agriculture dept valuation. 📘 Official Basis • Ministry of Power Guidelines – 2015 • Supreme Court Judgement – 2017 (Century Textiles Case) • State-specific policies (some states offer higher rates) 🌐 Typical Tower Base Areas (for calculation) Voltage Level Typical Tower Base Area (sq.m) 132 kV 60–100 220 kV 100–150 400 kV 150–250 765 kV 250–350 Actual area is measured by the utility's survey team. ⭐ Important: Land Never Acquired Even after compensation: • Land remains with owner • Only restrictions apply: no permanent building allowed under tower or corridor • Farming allowed except tall crops like eucalyptus
