Understanding Factory License Fees: Should They Be Based on 450 KVA or 1557 KW?

Sudhir Pande:

As per our MSEB bill, the connected load is 1557 KW, and the sanctioned load is 1557 KW. The contract demand in KVA is 450, and the sanctioned demand in KVA is 450. Could you please confirm whether the Factory License fees are for 450 KVA or 1557 KW?

Mr. Pandey,

Please do your work with research and adhere to factory rules. Two things are necessary to obtain fee details:

1) The number of manpower engaged (direct + indirect) in the plant.
2) The number of horsepower installed in the plant.

After providing this information, someone will be able to assist you.

As per license, 150 workers are directly employed. According to our electric bill, the connected load is 1557 KW, and the sanctioned load is also 1557 KW. The contract demand is 450 KVA, and the sanctioned demand is also 450 KVA.

For 1557 KW, it equals 2086 HP, and for 450 KVA, it equals 482.57 HP. The correct information is required for the factory license fees.

Connected/Sanction load is 1557 KW = 2086 HP with details of any installed generators.
