During the 11th Five-Year Plan, focus has been on states that had a heavy backlog of un-electrified villages and BPL households, as well as on special category states (such as north-eastern states, Himachal, J & K and Uttarakhand), border districts and districts led by left wing extremism. The expected completion cost is estimated as INR 330 billion (or USD 7 billion) (Ministry of Power, 2009a). All values given in this chapter are converted at this rate. Less than one-third BPL households and half of the villages had been electrified in September 2009. To avoid overlap of efforts, close co-ordination between the RRGVY and the MNRE is ensured mainly through the Rural Electrification Corporation.
