The TA is being processed separately and in advance of the concept paper for the expected Maharashtra Feeder Separation and High Voltage Distribution System Project to allow timely deployment of required consultants so that the processing team can plan for fact-finding mission in 2017. The Government of Maharashtra is considering the Asian Development Bank (ADB) lending assistance of about $400 million to finance the government's investment plan for electricity distribution to be taken up by the Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Company Limited (MSEDCL).

Contact Information
This section aims to support the local communities and local CSO to get to know which stakeholders are involved in a project with their roles and responsibilities. If available, there may be a complaint office for the respective bank which operates independently to receive and determine violations in policy and practice. Independent Accountability Mechanisms receive and respond to complaints. Most Independent Accountability Mechanisms offer two functions for addressing complaints: dispute resolution and compliance review.

ACCOUNTABILITY MECHANISM OF ADB

The Accountability Mechanism is an independent complaint mechanism and fact-finding body for people who believe they are likely to be, or have been, adversely affected by an Asian Development Bank-financed project. If you submit a complaint to the Accountability Mechanism, they may investigate to assess whether the Asian Development Bank is following its own policies and procedures for preventing harm to people or the environment. You can learn more about the Accountability Mechanism and how to file a complaint at: http://www.adb.org/site/accountability-mechanism/main
