The e-Urja project will make the organisation's functioning more transparent, organised, integrated and efficient, said sources.

The e-Urja project is an integrated solution and aims to share a centralised database with all users.

Human resources, payrolls, e-procurement, accounting, budget, and other departments will be served by the same database through a single entry point. The software will also help the GUVNL in reducing errors and save time and labour.

GUVNL sources said the project will also eliminate corruption to a large extent as every application for a new connection will have a unique login Id.

The project is being implemented by GUVNL and all its subsidiary companies. These include the Gujarat State Electricity Corporation Limited (GSECL), the Gujarat Energy Transmission Corporation Limited (GETCO) and four distribution companies.

Rajesh Shah, the Deputy General Manager (IT), GUVNL, said, "The 23 modules in the e-Urja project are at different stages of implementation. All the relevant modules have been taken up by the subsidiary companies of GUVNL and by February 2010 all the services will be online."

Shah said though the cost-benefit analysis of the project is yet to be carried out, this project will definitely help in diverting time and resources to innovation, problem solving and direct service to the customer.
