5.19 It has been stated by the DG that for consultancy services of rural electrification projects, PIAs prefer agencies that have expertise in the field of rural electrification. The DPRs submitted under RGGVY/DDUGJY have to be prepared in accordance with the guidelines issued by REC, e.g. carrying out GPS based field survey; preparation of Single line Diagram in Autocad/ Arc Map or any other drawing software; load flow studies; compilation and punching of data captured during field survey after checking; formulation of DPR etc. 5.20 The Commission observed that as per the OP, the second relevant market should be 'market for consultancy services in India'. It is submitted that similar to the RGGVY, DPRs are prepared for other electrification schemes, including R-APDRP, which is an urban electrification scheme. The services offered for an electrification project in rural areas are similar in nature to the services offered for an electrification project in urban area. Further, it has been averred by the OP that consultancies such as Medhaj, Ernst & Young etc. provide a variety of consultancy services and the demand by consumers is for a range of consultancy services and is not restricted to a single service. According to the OP, various consultancy service providers are not restricted to provide their services only in relation to electrification projects in rural areas. Further, since the services offered for electrification projects in rural areas and non-rural/urban areas are similarly priced, both are substitutable.
