Division (JPDCL) Jammu caters to repair of damaged DTs ranging from 25 KVA to
630 KVA rating pertaining to User Divisions of Distribution Wing JPDCL Jammu for
which buffer stock of DTs is created to meet up the emergent demand.
During the last one year a Unique Identification Number has been created for to
all the DTs in the Central Workshop as per the instructions of Chief Secretary of
UT of J&K. To keep track of the damage rate and to ensure fixation of
responsibility in case of damage of the transformers, the workshop division has
been asked to ensure that each and every transformer should be recorded in DT
Asset Management portal of JPDCL.
Managing Director JPDCL further informed that there has been 22.71 % reduction
in demand of repaired transformers. The demand of Repaired Transformers
raised by User Divisions during the current F.Y i.e 2022-23 upto September 2022 is
1024 Nos. as compared to 1324 Nos. during the last F.Y i.e 2021-22. He added
that due to availability of sufficient buffer stock before onset of peak summer and
due to consistent reduction in demand of repaired transformers, only 766 No. of
DTs of varying capacities have been repaired during the current F.Y i.e 2022-23
upto September 2022 as compared to 1103 during the last F.Y i.e 2021-22 thereby
resulting in Cost Savings amounting to Rs. 167 lacs as on September 2022.
