1) PRICE VARIATION CLAUSE:-The prices are with price variation as per IEEMA formula given below. Price Variation Formula : P = Po + CuF (Cu-Cuo) + CCFCu (PVCC-PVCCo) + FeF (Fe-Feo) ; P = Po + 0.248 (Cu-Cuo) + 0.395 (PVCC-PVCCo) + 0.343 (Fe-Feo) ; Where; P = Price payable per KM as adjusted in accordance with PVC. Po =Price per KM of cable as per Purchase Order. CuF = Variation factor of Copper. CCFCu = Variation factor for PVC compound. FeF = Variation factor for Steel. Cu, PVCC & Fe are the prices of raw materials as applicable on first working day of the month, one month prior to the date of offering the material for inspection. Prices of the raw materials i.e. Cu, PVCC and Fe should be those published by IEEMA. The Base month for PVC is OCTOBER 2022 and the values are as under; Cuo = Price of Copper Wire Rod i.e. Rs. 6,82,836/- per MT. PVCco = Price of PVC Compound Grade CW-22 is Rs. 1,55,075/- per MT. Feo = Price of Steel for Armouring (Flat 4 mm x 0.8 mm) i.e. Rs.79,500/- per MT. The base price of input raw materials are based on IEEMA circulars for the month of OCTOBER 2022 (issued on 02.11.2022) which is prevailing as on 1st working day of the month of OCTOBER 2022. The price of inputs payable shall be subject to the adjustment up or down in accordance with IEEMA formula. The prices of Cu, PVCC, and Fe are as applicable on first working day of the month, one month prior to the date of call letter of inspection duly acknowledged by the inspection Agency (RDSO/RITES/DOI) shall be considered for computing price variation. In case date of call letter for inspection duly acknowledged by inspection Agency is not available, the reference date shall be one month prior to date of inspection. The date of inspection shall be the date of inspection certificate issued by the inspection agency (in other words I.C. date) for the purpose of applicability of PVC. The date of actual delivery at destination would be treated as date of delivery. Variation up or down taking place within stipulated original delivery period will be to SWR account. For Variation beyond the original delivery period, upward variation will be to firms account and benefit of downward variation if any shall be passed to S.W. Railway without preference to any time limit. In other words, for PVC payment in the cases where supply is made in the extended period of DP (with or without LD), PV as applicable on the terminal date of the original DP is payable unless the PV price has decreased after terminal date of the original DP, in which case, the decreased rate will be applicable.
