I.INTRODUCTION
A. Background
1. The Government of Pakistan (GOP) plans to implement the “Power Transmission Enhancement Investment Program (PTEIP) with financial assistance of Asian Development
Bank (ADB) through a multi tranche financing facility (MFF). The objective of the investment
program is to improve Pakistan’s power transmission infrastructure and management. To achieve this objective, the investment program consists of staged physical investments in the
high-voltage transmission system, including the rehabilitation, augmentation and expansion
of transmission lines, substations and supporting infrastructure. Thus, the major aim of PTEIP
is enhancement in the capacity of the transmission system by rehabilitation, extension,
augmentation & expansion of existing 500 kV & 220 kV network of NTDC, to meet the growing
power demand in the country.
2. The National Transmission and Despatch Company (NTDC) will implement the
investment program through different tranches of MFF with each tranche time sequenced and
containing several subprojects based on the subproject readiness. The tranche 1 of MFF II
contains 10 subprojects (Annex A) which mainly involve extension and augmentation of
substations and rehabilitation and setting up of existing and transmission lines.
3. Rawat Substation – A Subproject of Tranche I of proposed MFF: The 500 kV
Rawat- augmentation of 500/200 kV transformer is one of the 10 subprojects proposed under
tranche 1 of MFF. The substation is expected to enhance the capacity of existing grid station
through extension and augmentation of existing 500/220 kv T/Fs of 450 MVA with 750 MVA
and 220/132 kv transformers of 160 MVA capacity with 250 MVA capacity at Rewat, district
Rawalpindi (Annex 2 Location of Substation).
B. Need for Due Diligence Review of Involuntary Resettlement (IR) and Indigenous Peoples (IPs)
4. A detailed due diligence work has been undertaken with the purpose to (i) examine
the IR and IPs aspects of the Rawat Substation; (ii) identify any land acquisition and
resettlement and indigenous peoples related impacts; and recommend preparation of
appropriate safeguards document (land acquisition and resettlement plan, indigenous peoples
plan and/or a due diligence report) as applicable but in accordance with ADB’s Safeguard Policy Statement (SPS) 2009.

The DDR team photographed the sites for record and reference.
9. Review of GS layout map and nature of augmentation work: The DDR team also
reviewed the GS map, diagrams and the sites for augmentation work within the boundary of
GS. This review and copies of maps helped the DDR team in physically examining the sites
for augmentation work and concluding that the subproject did not have any LAR and IPs
impacts.
10. Field observations and photographs were recorded during the site visit and transect
walk to support the DDR team’s conclusion of the GS augmentation work not having any LAR and IPs impact.

II. FINDINGS OF DUE DELIGENCE WORK
11. Key findings of due diligence work are presented below:
A. Brief history of Grid Station and Land Acquisition:
12. The 500KV Grid Station, Rawat is located in the south west area of Rawalpindi at a
distance of about 20km on the main G.T Road. .Total area of the grid station is approximately
137.5 acres. Initially in 1991 500KV Grid Station Rewat was commissioned as 220 KV Grid
Station. Later on in 1997 it was upgraded to 500 KV and further extensions were carried out
at all voltage levels from time to time. The land was acquired in 1991 with no outstanding
compensation issues existing in GS. Present capacity of 500 kv Grid Station Rewat:
Power Type Quantity
500 KV system 500/220 KV 450 MVA auto transformer 3
500 KV transmission lines 5
500 KV 111 MVAR shunt reactors 2
220 KV system 220/132 KV 160 MVA auto transformers 3
220 KV transmission lines. 6
132 KV system 132/11.5 KV 10/13 MVA power transformers.

132 KV transmission lines. 13
13. Proposed augmentation works and scope of Land Acquisition and
Resettlement: As indicated in the list of sub projects, the substation Rewat is expected to
enhance the capacity of existing grid station through extension and augmentation of existing
500/220 kv T/Fs of 450 MVA with 750 MVA and 220/132 kv transformers of 160 MVA capacity
with 250 MVA capacity at Rawat, district Rawalpindi. Therefore it is anticipated that any
involuntary resettlement will not occur due to the project. However as per ADB’s SPS 2009 it is important to verify and confirm that no involuntary resettlement and indigenous people plan
will be required. The transect walk, meetings and consultations with NTDC/ESIC officials and
project staff at substation as well as review of project documents concluded that the
augmentation and extension work at the GS will enhance the GS power management capacity
and the equipment installation (sites available within the 137.5 acres of land acquired in 1991)
is strictly within the GS boundary and therefore will not cause any new land acquisition and
resettlement impacts.

B. Resettlement Related Impacts:
14. Similarly to the conclusion of the GS not having any new or old land acquisition impact,
the DDR team also concluded that GS augmentation and extension work is not affecting any
built-up area, private, residential or commercial outside the GS boundary. Therefore, the
subproject does not have any adverse impact to any private structures, crops or trees or any
other resettlement related impact. The table below further confirms no impacts to local
population and their assets.
Assets LAR impacts
DPs and IP Remarks
Land No new impact.
Nil Land, crops, and trees and structures that existed on the land were all acquired and compensated in 1991.
No any LAR and IPs impacts recorded/found during the due diligence process in the field.
Structures; whether residential, agriculture, commercial or communal. Incomes derived from businesses and farming,
No new impact.
Nil
Trees and Crops No cultivation inside GS
NIL
C. Indigenous Peoples:
15. The DDR team carefully assessed the project area and met with local people who
turned out to be Muslims living in hormone with national laws and local culture. The did not
consider themselves to be called another type of population as the indigenous peoples as
ADB’s SPS 2009 describes the IPs to be. Therefore it is concluded that the project area do not have the presence of IPs and an Indigenous Peoples Development Plan (IPDP) is not
required for this project.
D. Land Acquisition and Resettlement Framework:
16. Although augmentation and extension work is not expected to cause any LAR and IPs
impacts, the NTDC has still prepared and endorsed the LARF for its implementation. NTDC
has done this in compliance with the requirements of ADB’s SPS 2009 and to address any
unanticipated LAR and IPs impacts in augmentation and extension subprojects and similar
impacts which NTDC may have address in the transmission line projects under the proposed
investment facility. The framework provides guideline about LAR impacts, entitlement and

11
compensation payments, institutional arrangements and implementation schedules for
preparation, implementation and monitoring of the land acquisition and resettlement plans
(where needed) and grievance redress mechanism to address any grievances of affected
peoples.
E. Institutional Arrangements:
17. NTDC has established an environment and social impact cell (ESIC) which is
managed by a Director Social and Environment, assisted by assistant and deputy directors
social and environment impacts. The ESIC works closely with project consultants, reviews
and resettlement plans and acts as quality control and safeguards compliance unit for NTDC
for projects funded by ADB and other financiers. ESIC also undertakes internal monitoring of
the implementation of LARPs, DDRs and any corrective action plan (CAPs), and will do the
same for the Rewat GS subproject.

III. CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
18. Due Diligence work included a site visit to the Grid Station and consultations with NTDC/ESIC, GS officials and PPTA team leader, the review of project documents and GS layout maps, sites for augmentation and extension work and NTDC’s confirmation of ownership of land available to the GS. Based on the field findings, it is concluded that the subproject (augmentation and extension work) does not have any land acquisition and resettlement impacts and will not cause any physical and economic dislocation as defined in ADB’s SPS 2009. The subproject also does not have presence of indigenous peoples. The due diligence team also reviewed the NTDC’s written confirmation of availability of land for Rewat GS and confirms that augmentation/extension work will be undertaken on the land acquired in 1991 (which do not have any outstanding compensation or resettlement issues). Since there are no impacts, no APs are therefore affected. The IR and IPs checklists prepared in the field also confirm no LAR and IPs impacts in Rawat GS project. No compensation of any kind is applicable in this subproject. The subproject is categorized as category C for involuntary resettlement and indigenous peoples. No further safeguards documentation work is needed unless there is any change in the impacts situation which NTDC (if it happens so) will inform ADB in advance for appropriate actions. 19. The DDR team makes following recommendations for implementation before any construction activities commence:
i. Establish grievance redress mechanism and make it functional before start of
construction.
ii. Adhere to the project design and proposed augmentation and extension work and
inform ADB about any changes in the design and resulting LAR situation prior to and
during implementation/construction work.
iii. In case of any emerging or unanticipated LAR impact during implementation, prepare
resettlement plan and obtain ADB’s approval prior to implementation.
iv. In case a LARP has to be prepared at any stage of the project implementation,
engage external monitoring agency or an individual to verify and certify
implementation of LARP before startup of civil works activities. Further monitoring
(internal as well as external) will be undertaken in line with monitoring frequency as
specified in the LARP.
