Consultant’s Folly

Do consultants deliver value to clients for which they are paid ? Can the client rest assured of results if an established agency is selected for doing a specific work ?

Our experience of decades in corporate environment as a client and 6 EPDPL assignments as a consultant suggests that the following are more important to deliver value to the client than brand name or years since the consulting organisation is functioning :

Responsiveness to Client (ability to understand project needs)
Dedication to work (level and intensity of senior management attention)
Team Composition (skill sets appropriate to task on hand)
Client’s Scrutiny of Output

Project	Flawed Aspect	PROJECT CONSULTANT Suggestion/Approach	EPDPL Role	EPDPL VALUE ADD
Mega Himachal Project (Bid)	Plant Capacity	960 MW	Bidder's advisor - Detailed PFR	Optimized to 840 MW
Punjab - Canal Based Projects (under construction)	Project Management	Hands off part-time approach , insufficient hydro professionals	IE & QC for Civil, H-M and E-M works - Lender’s Advisor	Stringent Reviews Insistence for Contractor mobilization Periodic Execution support
Punjab - Canal Based Projects (under construction)	Plant Size	Flows shown good for 91% plant PLF in Hydrology Study	IE & QC for Civil, H-M and E-M works - Lender’s Advisor	Suggested ~55-60% PLF based on review of hydrology study

Project	Flawed Aspect	PROJECT CONSULTANT Suggestion/Approach	EPDPL Role	EPDPL VALUE ADD
< 25 MW Himachal Project (Commissioned)	Basic Engineering	Weir and Desilting basin design flaws	Bidder's Technical Due Diligence	Impact included in O&M cost estimation
	Plant size	13.5 MW		10-11 MW (based on Hydrology Study)
	Power Evacuation	None		Capex requirement identified due to Transmission Constraints Lack of redundancy
180 MW Himachal Project (Under Construction)	Commissioning Dates & Cost to Completion	Main proj - Sept’19 TL - May ’20 Rs.100 cr. lower completion cost	Lenders External Consultant	Main proj – Apr ’20 TL - Oct ’20 Rs.100 cr. higher completion cost
