Background
As per Rules of Business, 1973, the subject of disaster relief
has been allocated to the Cabinet Division. A unit known as
Emergency Relief Cell exists in the Cabinet Division at the federal
25
level for dealing with the cases relating to disaster. The history of this
cell dates back to 1970s when a cyclone caused widespread
devastation in the former East Pakistan. The ERC is mandated to
complement the efforts of the Provincial Governments in the areas
of relief at the time of need as well as to handle issues of Repatriation
and Resettlements including the provision of compensation. Besides
this, ERC extends help to the calamity stricken friendly countries as
well.

Infrastructure

The infrastructure available with the ERC for handling


catastrophic situation includes the following:

a) Emergency Control Room:Control Room of the


Emergency Relief Cell goes into operation during the
flood season or soon after a natural disaster strikes.
During disasters, it remains open from 8.00 a.m to 8.00
p.m daily or, if the circumstances so warrant, round the
clock. It maintains constant liaison with the Engineers
Directorate of Pakistan Army, National Disaster
Management Authority (NDMA), Federal Flood
Commission, Meteorological Department, Provincial
Governments / PDMAs and other officers detailed at
the scene of Disaster. Daily situation reports are
obtained from the calamity stricken areas from the
Provincial Governments and the concerned federal
agencies and a central situation report is compiled
depicting the country-wide position. This helps in taking
timely decision for responding to disasters.

b) Warehouse:The Emergency Relief Cell has a


warehouse at Islamabad which maintains basic
inventory and further procurement of essential relief
goods to be used during emergencies. The warehouse
has non-perishable goods of basic needs like tents and
blankets etc.,which can be rushed to the affected areas
at a short notice. The food items and medicines are
procured through Utility Stores Corporation and
Federal Government Services Hospital on need basis.

26
c) Relief Goods Dispatch Organization:The Relief
Goods Dispatch Organization, located at Karachi, is
controlled by the Emergency Relief Cell. This
Organization is responsible to make arrangements for
receipt and dispatch of all relief goods from foreign and
local agencies in the event of a disaster. The
organization is also responsible for customs clearance
of relief goods at Airport/Seaport,re-fueling of planes,
reception of crew and fulfillment of allied formalities.
d) Aviation Squadron:6-Aviation Squadron of the
Emergency Relief Cell is maintaining a fleet of 9
helicopters. Most of these helicopters are detailed for
rescue operations during disaster and visits of officials
to the affected areas. The officers and staff of Aviation
Squadron are seconded on deputation from Pakistan
Army.
e) CDCP Unit:After devastative flood of 2010, ERC
executed a cash assistance programme for early
recovery of affectees of flood-2010 consequent to a
Council of Common Interests (CCI) decision to provide
Rs. 20,000/- as cash assistance to each flood affected
family. This initiative, later on, was supported by
development partners, USAID, Department for
International Development (DFID), World Bank,
Government of Italian Republic (GoIR) and
Government of Pakistan (GoP) by agreeing to finance
additional Rs. 40,000/- to each flood affected
household. Consequently to execute the programme,
a CDCP unit has been established as of July 2011
under Technical Assistance (TA) Project of
International Development Agency (IDA).

Responsibilities of Emergency Relief Cell (ERC)

Although the provision of relief to the calamity stricken areas


falls in the mandate of Provincial Governments under the National
Calamity (Prevention and Relief) Act, 1958 , yet the ERC
supplements the provincial governments efforts as and when

27
and Provincial Disaster Management Authorities (NDMA& PDMAs)
and ERRA; the ERC is now more focused upon:

a) Administering various relief funds/public funds, opened


from time to time solicit donations from citizens,
philanthropists, Community Based Organizations
(CBO) and international donors. Such major funds
include: Prime Minister’s Flood Relief Fund 2010 and
2011, Prime Minister Special Fund for Victims of
Terrorism, Prime Minister’s Balochistan Earthquake
Relief Fund-2013, Prime Minister’s Relief Fund for

frequency coordination. The frequency assignments of
PAKSAT-1 have been successfully recorded in the
MIFR, which is the conclusion of frequency
coordination process for PAKSAT-1. This was a
milestone on the part of Administration of Pakistan and
this was only possible due to the continuous resolute
of FAB and SUPARCO.
c. Frequency coordination of GSO and Non-GSO
Satellite Networks of Pakistan has been actively
pursued with affected administrations during the last
one year within the regulatory framework of ITU in
order to conclude agreements of frequency
coordination on mutually acceptable parameters/
conditions which will ensure their interference free
operations across the shared frequency bands.
d. PAKSAT-1R is the follow-up Satellite Network of
PAKSAT-1 Satellite Network having same orbital
88
location. ITU has identified 96 satellite networks of 20
different Member States for the frequency coordination
of PAKSAT-1R Satellite Network. Frequency
coordination of PAKSAT-1R Satellite Network with 30
out of the said 96 satellite networks has been
successfully concluded. Frequency coordination for
PAKSAT-1R Satellite Network with the remaining
satellite networks is being actively pursued in order to
favourably record the frequency assignments of
PAKSAT-1R Satellite Network in the MIFR. The
PAKSAT-1R Satellite was launched in August, 2011.

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY ORGANIZATION

The Intellectual Property Organization of Pakistan (IPO-


Pakistan) was established as an autonomous body on 8 th April, 2005
under the administrative control of the Cabinet Division for integrated
and efficient intellectual property management in the country. The
Trade Marks Registry, Copyright Office and Patent & Design Office
became part of the IPO-Pakistan under a unified and integrated
management. The major functions of the Organization under IPO
Act, 2012 are as follows:

 Administer and coordinate all Government systems for


protection and strengthening of Intellectual Property (IP);
 Manage all IP offices in the country;
 Create awareness about IP Rights;
 Advise Federal Government on IP Policy;
 Ensure effective enforcement of IP rights through
designated IPR Enforcement Agencies.

IPO-Pakistan performed series of multifarious functions


during the year 2013-14. According to the mandate, the Organization
laid special emphasis on adopting steps to strengthen infrastructure
of IP Registries with the objectives to provide modern facilities to right
owners who intend to register their IP rights. Under the dedicated
and efficient administration, IPO-Pakistan established cordial
working relations with stakeholders especially, business
organizations, Academia, SMEs, Universities and corporate sector
which helped in the promotion of IP Rights. Besides adopting various
steps to expedite the implementation process of institutional reforms
and infrastructure development, IPO management activated
Regional Office in Lahore, IP Registries at Karachi. During 2013-14
special focus has been laid on improving service delivery; raising
public awareness; strengthening IPR enforcement coordination and
drafting IP Strategy/Action Plan for short term, medium term and long
term activities.

IMPROVEMENT IN SERVICE DELIVERY

Automation and Digitization of Data

Automation of IP Registries is in process and digitization of


data in Copyright, Trademark and Patent & Design Offices has been
completed almost 90%. This project is being completed with financial
assistance of European Union under Trade Related Technical
Assistance Program (TRTA-II) and technical assistance of World
Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO). At the end of 2014
complete data of all IP Registries will be digitized as per following
details;

i. Trademark Office = 288,000 Files (2.8 Million Pages);


ii. Patent and Design Office = 45,000 Files (2.7 Million Pages);
iii. Copyright Office = 35,000 Files (0.5 Million Pages).

Achievements to develop IT Infrastructure of IPO-Pakistan

Under the above mentioned TRTA-II project following work has


been done successfully during the year 2013-14:
i. Website of IPO-Pakistan (www.ipo.gov.pk) is being
updated in the form of IPO Web-Portal with dynamic
features. The ultimate purpose is to facilitate IP applicants
with e-filing facility. During the year 2013-14 contract has
been assigned to a vendor by WIPO on competitive basis
and work is in progress. IPO-Pakistan is monitoring and
evaluating the work progress through its dedicated IT
Team;
ii. Up-gradation of Industrial Property Automation System
(IPAS) from old technology (Centura) to latest technology
(Java) in IPO-Pakistan offices;
iii. Deployment of WIPOScan+ in Registries for scanning and
indexing of IP Applications;
iv. Implementation of Electronic Document Management
System (EDMS) for storing and access of paper
documents of IP Applications in digital form;

93
v. Integration of all three systems (IPAS-Java, WIPOScan+
and EDMS) to work together with each other;
vi. Digitization of IP applications records under Trade Related
Technical Assistance (TRTA-II) program of European
Commission [will soon be completed].

E-Publication of Patents Journal


Application pendency awaiting publication at IP registries
especially trademark and patent was a great shortcoming in IPO
working. An initiative was taken to start electronic publication of
trademark and patent journals for improved and efficient service
delivery to the applicants. Electronic publication of trademark journal
was started in 2012 and proper case was prepared for Patent
Journal. After taking the comments from stakeholders, it was sent to
the Cabinet Division. The required amendment in Patent Ordinance,
2000 and Patent Rules, 2004 has been approved by Federal Cabinet
in meeting dated 18th April 2014. The e-publication of patents journal
will be operational soon.

PUBLIC AWARENESS AND CAPACITY BUILDING


One of the core functions of IPO Pakistan is creating
awareness in public and private sectors about IP rights protection.
For this purpose about 60 programs have been conducted by IPO-
Pakistan itself or attended by its Resource Persons during the year
2013-14 at different universities, Chambers of Commerce and
Industry, Bar Associations, SME organizations, enforcement
agencies and offices of the Federal and Provincial Governments.
Capacity building of technical staff at IPO-Pakistan and
stakeholder organizations (Enforcement Agencies, Government
functionaries, public and private sector IP personals etc.) is also one

95
of the main objectives of IPO-Pakistan. During the year
2013-14 about 21 officers from IPO-Pakistan and 06 persons from
stakeholder institutions have been trained by sending them abroad
on IP training programs to build their capacity in the field of
Intellectual Property. It is pertinent to mention here that there was no
financial liability on IPO-Pakistan or Federal Government as all these
programs were fully funded by World Intellectual Property
Organization (WIPO) and other IP friendly countries and
Organizations.

IPR ENFORCEMENT COORDINATION

IPR Enforcement coordination is one of the key functions of


the Organization. IPR Enforcement has been meticulously structured
at the policy level, supervisory level and operational level. At the
operational level, enforcement coordination has been
institutionalized through the Enforcement Coordination Committees,
comprising all agencies in the enforcement chain, in Islamabad,
Karachi and Lahore. Its membership comprises IPO-Pakistan, FIA,
Police, Pakistan Customs, Law Division and PEMRA. Private sector
has also been taken into loop at the forum of IPR Enforcement
Coordination. Anti-Counterfeit and Infringement Forum (ACIF);
Pakistan Industrial Property Rights Association (PIPRA); Federation
of Pakistan Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FPCCI),
Overseas Chamber of Commerce and Industry (OICCI) and other
stakeholders are invited in the meetings of IPR Enforcement

NATIONAL ELECTRIC POWER REGULATORY
AUTHORITY

The National Electric Power Regulatory Authority is


exclusively responsible for regulating the electric power services
and safeguarding the interests of investors and consumers. NEPRA
grants licenses for generation, transmission and distribution of
electric power; determines tariff rates, charges and other terms and
conditions for supply of electric power; prescribes and enforces
performance standards; and addresses the complaints of electricity
consumers. Additionally as a regulator NEPRA extends
advice/recommendations to the concerned entities, including the
government, on various power sector issues. NEPRA has ensured
transparency in operations by adopting a consultative approach
mainly through advertizing, soliciting comments and holding public
hearings. Electricity consumer complaints are handled promptly and
referred to the concerned quarters.

NEPRA requires licenses to improve technical and financial


performance following up on these through regular monitoring. All
the generating units of the Public Sector Generation Companies
(GENCOs) are continuously evaluated for performance some of
which have outlived useful lives questioning their continued use and
rehabilitation making sense only when benefits are available in the
short term. All the Distribution Companies have been directed for
prevention of future accidents; submission of inquiries held to fix
responsibilities; and reported disciplinary actions against the
delinquent officials.

NEPRA has been involved in determining Upfront Tariff for


different technologies i.e. Solar, Baggase, Coal, Biomass, Wind etc.
NEPRA announced the Upfront Tariff for Coal Power Projects which
is applicable for six years. Upfront Tariff on local coal for less than
50 MW is under process and hearing in the matter was held in June

97
2013. Considering the demand supply gap, NEPRA is in the process
of finalizing the Upfront Tariff for Solar Power Plants.

In order to ensure transparency in the fuel charge adjustment,


audit of the Central Power Purchasing Agency (CPPA) was carried
out. The CPPA was advised to bring efficiency and improve their
internal control system for avoiding any error.

LICENSES

In the period ranging from July 01, 2013 to June 30, 2014, the
Licensing Division was involved in diverse activities relating to
several licensing matters. These activities consisted of processing of
New Licensing applications for companies involved in Generation
and Distribution businesses.

Further, the Licensing Division also carried out the processing


of various modification communicated by the Licensees in their
existing Licenses. A total of thirty seven (37) new applications with
accumulative installed capacity of 1461.55 MW were processed.
Also, thirty five (35) cases of modification in Licenses were
completed. A detail of the activities carried out during the period
under consideration is described below.

a) Applications for Conventional Power Plants

twenty three (23) RE projects with a cumulative capacity of
approximately of 1168.37 MW, for the grant of generation
licenses were processed.

c) Activities Pertaining to Captive Power Plants (CPPs)

The Authority has been emphasizing to utilize the idle


capacity available with industrial units. During this period
applications of total of sixteen (17) sugar and textile mills with
accumulative installed capacity of 316.43 MW were
processed. These mills approached the Authority for grant of
Generation Licenses for supplying surplus power to the
National Grid through their respective DISCOs.

d) Activities Pertaining to Isolated Generation


Companies

The Authority in the said duration also processed two


applications for grant of Generation Licenses of Isolated
Generation Companies for supplying power to dedicated Bulk
Power Consumers. These included Bahria Town Electric
Supply Company Limited (BESCO) and Bismillah Energy
(Pvt.) Limited (BEPL). The processing of application of
BESCO was completed and Generation License was issued,
whereas, the case of BEPL is also in advanced stage.

e) Activities Pertaining to Modification in Existing


Licenses

i. The Authority processed thirty one (31) applications


of Licensee Proposed Modifications (LPMs) of the

99
existing Licensees for modification in their already
issued/granted Licenses during the subject period.
ii. The Authority also initiated modification in some of
the already granted licenses through Authority
Proposed Modifications (APMs). During the period
under consideration, the processing of APMs in
Licenses of GENCO-I (for deletion of Unit 1&2 of
GTPS Kotri), GENCO-III (for deletion of NGPS,
Multan), HESCO (for changes in Article 3 and
addition of Schedule-III for excluding service
territory of SEPCO) and NTDC (for changing Article
7(1) of the Transmission License, to allow new XW-
DISCOs to purchase power from CPPA), were
completed and issued.
f) Wheeling of Electricity
i. The Authority has been receiving proposals from
different developers whereby Industrial units
generating power at one point, desire to supply the
same at some distinct location. In order to
encourage and facilitate such arrangements, the
Authority formulated necessary Guidelines on
wheeling of electric power.
ii. The Authority processed two different cases of
Fatima Energy Limited & Fatima Sugar Mills Limited
and allowed wheeling of power to different BPCs.
Further, cases of Dadu Energy (Pvt.) Limited and
Naudero Energy (Pvt.) Limited, for wheeling of
power to BPCs, are in advanced stage of
processing.
g) Activities Pertaining to Distribution License

i. The Authority, during the period under review


processed different Distribution License applications
from different entities. These included Tribal Areas
Electric Supply Company (TESCO), Bahria Town
(Pvt.) Limited-BTPL (for its facilities located at
Lahore), Bismillah Energy (Pvt.) Limited-BEPL and

100
Punjab Industrial Estate Development &
Management Company-PIED&MC.
ii. Distribution License to TESCO was issued. However,
the Distribution Licenses for other companies could
not be issued due to the opposition of DISCOs, for
which different options are being considered. It is
expected that rest of the cases will be decided
shortly.

h) Monitoring Activities

i. Monitoring and Compliance of the decision of the


Authority, is considered a very important aspect of
an effective Regulation. As part of the monitoring
activity, various exercises were carried out and
explanations and Show Cause Notices were issued
to different Licensees for violating the terms and
conditions of their Licenses and nonpayment of
Annual Licenses fees. In this regard, Licensing
Division issued Explanation and Show-cause
notices to five (05) Licensees who have defaulted
in payment of Annual Licenses fees. These
included Green Electric Power Limited, Eastern
Power Company (Pvt.) Limited, Arabian Sea wind

Licenses and other related activates are difficult
to anticipate. The scope of the Licenses depends
on Letter of Interest (LOI) being issued by (Pvt.)
Power Infrastructure Board (PPIB), Alternative
Energy Development Board (AEDB) and
Provincial Governments.

ii. It is expected that new applications with a


cumulative capacity to the tune of 5000~6000MW
will be processed during the financial year 2014-
15, for the conventional thermal and hydel power
plants. Similarly, It is expected that applications
for Renewable Energy Projects to the tune of
500~1000 MW will be handled during the year
2014-15.
TARIFF

NEPRA determines electricity tariffs in accordance with the


Tariff (Standards & Procedure) Rules - 1998. During the period from
1st July 2013 to 30th June 2014, out of 66 tariff petitions/ applications
for determination of tariff/acceptance of Upfront Tariff /Motion for
Leave for Review, 49 cases were finalized and remaining are under
process. During this period 264 adjustments on account of fuel price
variation, indexation of CPI, exchange rate etc and tax payment have
been made. In accordance with the NEPRA prescribed mechanism
notified in the official gazette, fuel price adjustment in the XWDISCOs
was made till May 2013. Due to better generation mix and low
exchange rate impact due to stability in the Rupee Dollar parity
during the year, most of the time the fuel charge adjustment was
favorable for the end-consumer and accordingly downward
adjustment was made by the respective Distribution Companies in
the monthly bills. Similarly due to the aforementioned factors there
was marginal upward revision occasionally.

Considering the demand supply gap and in order to


encourage the renewable energy NEPRA announced the upfront
102
tariffs for Solar Power Projects and Coal based power projects
(imported / coal). In addition to that, the Upfront Tariff for bagasse
based power projects opting the validity date was extended till 24th
May 2015 in order to facilitate and harness the maximum potential of
indigenous fuel that is bagasse for power generation. The
requirement to achieve financial close for wind power projects under
the Upfront Tariff regime was also relaxed.

Generation is one of the important functionsin the power


sector. Most of the cases were finalized pertaining to Wind Power
plants and thermal power generation during the period. Based on the
review motion filed by WAPDA Hydroelectric the same was finalized
during this period. Further, Machai Hydropower, Ranolia and SK
Hydro Pvt. Limited were also finalized. The generation tariff of
Chashma Nuclear Power Plant-I was also determined.During the
extended period for accepting Upfront Tariff for bagasse based Co-
generation power projects, Chiniot Power Limited, JDW, RYK,
Hamza Sugar Mill etc have opted for the Upfront Tariff.

NEPRA has announced Upfront Tariff for Coal based power


projects (imported / local coal) except for the projects based on Thar
coal. Due to unique issues such as water availability, quality of Thar
coal etc the Upfront Tariff for Thar coal was announced in second
week of July 2014. While deciding reconsideration request filed by
GOP the Upfront Tariff was revised on 26.6.2014 after adopting due
process of law for ensuring transparency in the matter. K-Electric
quarterly adjustment and fuel charge adjustments were also made
during the period.

National Transmission and Despatch Company filed petition


for determination of wheeling / transfer charges. The NTDC's tariff
was determined in accordance with the Tariff Standards & Procedure
Rules - 1998.In addition to that, the consumer-end tariff of
Distribution Companies was also finalized for the FY 2013-14 and
was communicated to the Federal Government for notification in the
official gazette in accordance with the Tariff (Standards & Procedure)
Rules - 1998. Review motion of the DISCOs was also finalized during
the period.

OIL AND GAS REGULATORY AUTHORITY

INTRODUCTION

The Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA) was


established under the Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority Ordinance,
2002. The objective of OGRA is to “foster competition, increase
private investment and ownership in the midstream and downstream
petroleum industry, protect the public interest while respecting
individual rights and provide effective and efficient regulations”.

Section 41 and 42 of the OGRA Ordinance, 2002 require the


Authority to formulate Rules and Regulations respectively to carry
out the Authority’s functions as provided in the Ordinance. The Rules
are to be approved and notified by the Federal Government, whereas
the regulations are to be approved and notified by the Authority itself.
Rules and Regulations are fundamental instruments to achieve the
above-mentioned objectives and OGRA’s exclusive responsibilities
under the OGRA Ordinance, 2002, whereas the main instrument of
regulation is the licensing and enforcement of its conditions. Further
in order to maintain the high standard of transparency and efficiency,
the rules, regulations and technical standards are formulated under
the OGRA Ordinance, 2002.

In order to effectively handle the affairs relating to legal


aspects of carrying out regulated activities, OGRA has its own Legal
Department since inception. Main function of the Legal Department
is to provide legal support to the Authority and its subordinate
departments on need basis. In addition, to deal with the litigation
before various Courts throughout Pakistan, OGRA has also
established Litigation Department in 2007. Litigation Department
ensures that stance of OGRA may be presented before the Court as
and when required.

NATURAL GAS SECTOR


Determination of Revenue Requirement (DRR)

One of the main functions of the Authority is determination of


revenue requirement (i.e. prescribed price) of natural gas utilities,

111
which are currently entitled to a minimum return of 17% (SSGC) and
17.5% (SNGPL) of their operating assets before tax and financial
charges. The Authority carries out in-depth scrutiny of the capital and
operating expenditures, aiming to ensure cost-effective operation of
the gas utilities and thereby protect the interest of the consumers.
Details of petitions of SNGPL and SSGCL, decided by OGRA during
2013-14, are given below:

The process of determination of revenue requirement is
transparent and ensures effective participation of consumers and
general public through public hearings in order to balance the
divergent interests of all the stakeholders’ including the
FederalGovernment.

Reduction in Unaccounted for Gas (UFG) / Benchmark

UFG means the difference between the total volume of


metered gas purchased by the licensee during a financial year and
volume of metered gas supplied to its consumers excluding metered
gas used for licensee’s self-consumption.

OGRA started setting benchmark from FY 2003-04. Later, the


utilities have been given targets to reduce UFG levels to 4.5% by the
FY 2011-12. The Authority set the target for FY 2013-14 at 4.50%.
The actual / achievement of both the gas utilities on account of UFG
is given below.

UFG Benchmarks
Percentage
Financial Year 2010-11 2011-12 2012-13 2013-14
SSGCL- Actual 9.43 10.80 8.96* N-A
Benchmarks 4.25-5.0 4.0-5.0 4.50 4.50

SNGPL – Actual 11.21 10.20 9.33* N-A
Benchmark 4.25-5.0 4.0-5.0 4.50 4.50
Allowed 4.25-5.0 4.0-5.0 4.0-5.0 4.50

The disallowances on account of UFG benchmark has


benefited consumers to the tune of Rs. 7.28/MMBTU (total Rs.
73,892 million) (during FY 2003-04 to FY 2013-14). The cause of
concern is the rising UFG levels of both the utilities which are
severely impacting their financial position. The gas companies
should take concrete and effective measures to control their rapidly
increasing UFG levels and brought it under the set benchmark levels.
* As per FRR petition.

113
** The Authority allowed UFG as per Benchmark but SSGCL challenged the Authority’s decision on
UFG in Sindh High Court. The Court ordered to maintain it at 7% till the court’s final decision in this
regard.
Human Resource Cost

The Authority had also introduced Human Resource (HR)


cost benchmark which operates on systematic basis taking into
account the inflationary trend and the operating activities
contributive to increase in manpower. This benchmark
provides reasonable additional funds on the basis of activities
undertaken each year which protects the consumer interests as
well as motivates the gas companies to meet their legitimate
costs. The existing benchmark is effective since FY 2011-12
which shall expire in FY 2014-15.

Well-head Gas Prices/Natural Gas Tariffs/ POL Prices and


Maximum Sale Price of CNG

OGRA has carried out the pricing function in oil and gas
sector, as required under the law and in accordance with the
Government’s policy guidelines. OGRA issues price
notifications in respect of: (i) Well-head prices - half-yearly, (ii)
POL Prices - monthly, (iii) Natural Gas Prescribed Prices – 3
times a year, (iv) Natural Gas Retail prices-twice a year, (v)
CNG Consumer Price – as and when required.

SNGPL’s Gas Transmission Infrastructure Development


Projects

(i) Development of Pipeline Infrastructure (42 dia, 109.3 Km


long) for upcoming LNG Imports, Iran Gas &Anticipated
Indigenous Supplies.

OGRA allowed the capital expenditure of Rs. 14,157 million


under this head in its Determination of Estimated Revenue
Requirements (DERR) for FY: 2014-15 of SNGPL.

(ii) SNGPL’s Northern Area Expansion Plan and


Augmentation of Existing Kohat-Dakhni-FC1-Gali.

114
OGRA, keeping in view the prevailing energy crises / gas
shortage in the country, endorsed its already granted approval
of Rs. 5,166 million for the said project during FY 2013-14 to
receive 160 MMCFD additional gas from northern sources of
the Country.

Conduct of UFG Study to Determine Reasonable Unaccounted


for Gas (UFG) Benchmarks for Natural Gas Sector in Pakistan

Unaccounted for Natural Gas (UFG) is one of the major issues


of Gas Sector. Being a Regulatory body, OGRA intends to rationalize
the UFG level to a reasonable and acceptable limit. Therefore,
OGRA has decided to carry out an international level study to
determine reasonable UFG benchmarks for natural gas sector in
Pakistan in-line with best international practices. Following course of
action has been taken in the matter, during financial year 2013-14:
a) OGRA developed Expression of interest for selection of
consultant for determining UFG level. EOI have been
invited through national and international
advertisements.
b) Scopes of Work, Term of Reference and Technical
Evaluation Criteria have also been developed.
Evaluation procedure is currently under process.

SNGPL’s UFG Control Plan

OGRA had approved SNGPL’s UFG control plan on 3rd


January, 2013 and allowed an expenditure of Rs. 5,856 million for
UFG reduction under different heads, spread over a period of 03
years.

SNGPL in its Estimated Revenue Requirements (ERR) of


financial year, 2013-14 has projected capitalization of Rs.1,197
million for UFG reduction project for the said year.

SSGCL’s Natural Gas Efficiency Project (NGEP)

The total cost of NGEP as approved by the Executive


Committee of National Economic Council (ECNEC) is Rs 30,399.53

115
million. However, SSGCL has been allowed Rs. 3,262 million under
this head to control UFG for financial year 2013-14.

PAKISTAN TELECOMMUNICATION AUTHORITY

Telecom Sector of Pakistan

The Telecommunication (Re-Organization) Act 1996


empowers Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) to regulate
the establishment, operation and maintenance of telecommunication
systems, and the provision of telecom services. PTA has always kept
consumer interest and technology advancement at the highest
priority while performing its regulatory duties.

PTA remained engaged in important activities such as Auction


for Next Generation Mobile Services (NGMS) spectrum license,
deployment of biometric verification system to streamline the SIM
sale procedure, devising the Vision 2025 for telecom sector,
improving the efforts to curb illegal telephony, settlement of
international call rates, protecting consumers from unauthorized call
rate changes and monitoring the quality of service of telecom
operators. PTA also stepped forward to actively expedite the
distribution of aid among the Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) via
mobile SIMs in collaboration with National Database Registration
Authority (NADRA) and Fata Disaster Management Authority
(FDMA). PTA also helped Sindh Flood Relief efforts through co-
ordination with mobile companies and by providing SMS alert service
to the Sindh Flood Relief Authority According to NDMA 65,583
people were evacuated by Sindh Flood Relief Authority without a
single casualty or injury with the help of prompt messaging service
provided by mobile companies.

The Era of Next Generation Mobile Services (NGMS)

Global technological developments of the past two decades


have made ‘effective communication’ the nucleus of a country’s
economic and social prosperity. Telecommunication is now a fabric
of life. High speed connectivity and on-the-go internet availability is
becoming a basic need of the common people. Rapid deployment,
adoption and success of NGMS around the globe is an evidence that
data is now the order of day in the cellular mobile sector.

127
Pakistan had been striving to launch the NGMS. The combined
efforts of PTA, MoIT and Government of Pakistan proved fruitful this
year. PTA concluded a successful spectrum auction for 3G/4G
Licenses on 23rd April 2014 and commercial services have been
rolled out by the spectrum winning operators in major cities of
Pakistan.

Streamlining the SIM Sale

Unprecedented growth in the cellular mobile sector has


brought a multitude of benefits to the country. However, some
mischievous elements use the cellular platform to carry out
terrorist/anti-state activities as well. In this regard, Law Enforcement
Agencies (LEAs) and various Courts of Law have been stressing the
need for rationalization of the SIM sales procedure. PTA has
undertaken various initiatives in collaboration with CMOs to deal with
the issue effectively. Some of the steps taken by PTA in collaboration
with CMOs and LEAs are:

 Biometric Verification System for SIM Sale


 Monitoring Of Sales Channels of CMOs and WLL
Operators
 Constitution of Task Force to Curtail Bulk SIM
Activations without Proper Antecedents till Deployment
of BVS.

Vision 2025

The Vision 2025 document highlights key areas of public


policy and regulatory interests focused on the development of
society and consumers. According to Vision 2025, the aim shall be
to achieve full potential in terms of sector growth, good return for
industry, provision of innovative, affordable and quality telecom
services to un-served areas on equitable basis as well as
safeguarding consumers’ interests. In order to achieve this, PTA has
outlined following key areas to be focused upon in future:

 Smarter Communities
 Enabling Technologies

128
 Supportive Regulation

PTA believes that smarter communities with connected


people and devices are the future of communication, for which
enabling technologies must be encouraged, with supportive
regulations playing the role of a catalyst.

Efforts to Curb Grey/ Illegal Voice Termination

Grey telephony causes heavy revenue loss to the National


Exchequer by bypassing the legal gateways to avoid applicable
taxes, Access Promotion Contribution and/or other regulatory dues.
As per Standard Operating Procedure (SOP), PTA identifies irregular
traffic patterns through analysis of heavy callers’ data and monitoring
of voice traffic and shares the results with Federal Investigation
Agency (FIA) for subsequent raid/legal action. PTA also took the
following actions to intensify its efforts against grey telephony:

 Media Campaign, Call Centre Set up


 Raids against Illegal Exchanges
 SIM Blocking

Issuance/Renewal of Licenses

As per the Act, PTA is responsible to issue licenses to the


existing and new operators under various categories from time to
time. In this regard, following new licenses have been
issued/renewed to various operators in different service categories:

 An LDI license was issued to CM Pak LDI Ltd. on 19 th


December, 2013.
 An Infrastructure license was given to Trans World
Infrastructure Services (Pvt.) Ltd. on 4th November,
2013.
 Mobile Cellular License of Pakistan Telecommunication
Mobile Ltd. (Ufone) was renewed for a period of fifteen
years on 8th April, 2014.

annual growth of 5.6%.
Annual revenue growth
of 5.6% during FY2014
has been slower than the
growth of 7.4% in
FY2013.

Telecom Contribution to National Exchequer

Telecom sector is a significant source of revenue generation


for the national exchequer. During the last three years, telecom
sector was contributing an average of Rs. 124.8 billion annually to
the national exchequer. During FY2014, telecom sector has
contributed an all time high Rs. 243.8 billion, registering a growth of
95.8% over the last year. This jump in contribution is due to auction
of 3G and 4G cellular mobile licenses in April 2014. PTA has
deposited to the Government Rs. 96.5 billion out of the total value of
US$ 1.11 billion of the NGMS spectrum auction.

million on account of
acquiring 3G and 4G spectrum and deployment of advanced
telecommunication networks. The overall telecom investment
reached US$1,815 million in FY2014; an almost three times increase
from the level of US$600 million last year. Almost half of telecom
investment was in the form of FDI i.e. telecom sector attracted over
US$903 million of FDI in FY2014, 34.2% of the total FDI received by
Pakistan in that period.

Cellular Subscription

Cellular mobile subscribers (number of active SIMs) in Pakistan


reached 139.9 million at the
end of June 2014 compared
to 128.25 million as of end
June 2013, depicting
growth of 9.1% as
compared to 6.7% during
the corresponding period
last year. Growth in this
segment is a healthy sign
for the operators as more
subscribers mean more
revenue generating
opportunities. Similarly, existing customers also reap more benefits
from the operators in the shape of new offers, packages and reduced
tariffs. It is a commendable achievement for the cellular mobile

133
operators as well after a tough period of streamlining the SIM sale
procedures and huge investment in the NGMS license auction.

Local Loop Subscribers


Local loop subscriber base
stands at 5.71 million at the
end of FY2014 as compared
to 6.13 million by end of
FY2013. Net loss of 0.42
million subscribers has been
reported translating into a
negative growth of 7% during
FY2014.

Long Distance & International (LDI)

LDI is a segment that serves as a gateway to international


connectivity of Pakistan with the outside world. Besides legal LDI
services there are people who terminate illegal traffic (Grey traffic)
into the country due to heavy profit margins. The Authority
continuously monitor the traffic for detection of illegal activity and
send cases to FIA for raid action However, due to extremely high
incentives/ profit margins in the international traffic terminations it is
difficult to curb the illegal termination. While considering this fact, in
addition to a number of other factors, Government of Pakistan has
taken measures by withdrawing the ICH policy so that the PTA may
through regulatory measures bring the international termination rate
to a level whereby the profit margins shall be reasonable for the legal
business and at the same time may not be viable for the illegal
termination. Unfortunately, the GoP policy directive has been
challenged by the LDI consortium in the Sindh High Court in which
the court has granted stay order for last so many months. Due to the
stay granted by the SHC, PTA could not take necessary regulatory
measures i.e. to rationalize the international termination rates which
could result into elimination of grey traffic, routing of international
traffic through legal channel and facilitating of Pakistani citizen
abroad with affordable calling rates.

134
Due to the SHC stay order
the desired result could not
be achieved in terms of
traffic volume as the total
international traffic
(incoming and outgoing)
decreased by 39% to reach
8.7 billion in FY2014 instead
of increasing. The huge
drop in traffic is mainly
attributed to the reduction of
international incoming minutes by 5.8 billion minutes during FY2014.
The implementation of ICH regime in this sector could not stop Grey
Traffic rather increased grey traffic though revenues of operators
improved tremendously while making the service very expensive for
the expatriates. Decline of International traffic is owed to higher ASR
rates for expatriates into Pakistan. On the other hand, total
international outgoing traffic carried by LDI networks to other
countries has increased by 6% as it stands at 2.5 billion minutes
during the FY2014 as compared to 2.4 billion minutes last year.
Broadband Subscribers

Broadband subscribers
stood at 3.79 million at the
end of June, 2014 as
compared to 2.72 million at
the end of last fiscal year
depicting 39% growth over
the period under review.
1.07 million new
subscribers have joined
broadband networks in the
FY2014, mainly due to the
strong performance of PTCL. Growth rate of the broadband industry
had been gradually declining with every passing year as depicted in
figure However, the trend has reversed during FY2014. This is also
supplemented by the fact that for the first time, broadband market
has added over a million subscribers in a fiscal year which is a
welcome sign for future.

Complaints Handling Mechanism

Under the PPRA Ordinance 2002 and the Public Procurement


Rules (PPRA), 2004 PPRA does not enjoy any powers to address
grievances of the bidders and suppliers before or after the award of
contracts. Under Rule (48) of the PPRA, 2004 any bidder feeling
aggrieved by any act of the procuring agency after submission of his
bid may lodge a written complaint concerning his grievance not later
than fifteen days after the announcement of the bid evaluation report
with the procuring agency. However, in connection with such
grievances, the bidders mostly approach PPRA directly for redressal
of their grievances.

Under Rules 48 (2) of the PPRA 2004, the bidders, who made
complaints to the Authority, were advised to approach the procuring
agencies directly for redressal of their grievances. Although
grievances redressal does not come under the mandate of PPRA,
the PPRA has been empowered to monitor public procurement
practices under the PPRA Ordinance 2002. Any complaint received
from the bidders is forwarded to the concerned procuring agency for
submission of a report. The report so received is then analyzed to
improve governance, transparency, accountability and quality of
public procurement.

Online Queries System


An advanced Online Query System was designed by PPRA
in late December, 2012. This system added some new additional
features in the previous online system, which among others, includes
registration of the users for online query submission. In this respect
a registration form was designed which is also available at PPRA
website. The user either a procuring agency or a bidder is required
to fill this form before submission of queries. After entering user
name and password every time, the registered user can submit
online queries as and when needed. PPRA examined and
responded to all such queries in the light of PPRA Ordinance, 2002,

139
Public Procurement Rules, 2004 and the relevant regulations made
there under. The reply furnished by PPRA in response to all online
queries is also visible to general public for their guidance as well.
During the period from 1st July – 30th June, 2014, two hundred twenty
two (222) online queries were responded by PPRA.
Besides bidders some of the major organizationswhich had
submitted online queries regularly includes Pakistan State Oil
Company Limited, State Life Insurance Corporation of Pakistan, Sui
Northern Gas Pipelines Limited, National Institute of Health, Pakistan
International Airlines, Engineer-in-Chief, GHQ, RWL, Pakistan Public
Works Department, State Bank of Pakistan, UET Lahore and
Pakistan Telecommunication Authority etc.
Guidance on Interpretation of Rules
PPRA is extending necessary guidance to all procuring
agencies and the bidders in response to their clarifications since
promulgation of these rules in 2004. During the FY 2013-14 public
sector entities continued to seek legal clarifications, interpretation of
rules and regulations pertaining to different aspects of procurement
such as selection of single qualified bidder, expiry of bid validity
period, purchase of books, procurement by NGOs, applicability of
Public Procurement Rules, 2004 to public private partnership (PPP),
insurance services, training matters and medical services,
constitution of purchase committees, acceptance of conditional bids,
determination of scoring ratio in evaluation of bids, payment of taxes
imposed after declaring the lowest evaluated bidder, prequalification
of suppliers / contractors and purchase of vehicles assembled in
Pakistan etc. All these requests of procuring agencies were promptly
processed and legal advices were provided with the approval of the
competent Authority. Quarter-wise detail of legal advices issued to
the public procuring agencies and the bidders are as under:
