Lesson
While the timely and effective utilization of project savings can improve outcomes, it would be best to ensure reliable cost estimates at appraisal to avoid complications and mitigate implementation risks. Cost savings during implementation prompted two requests from POWERGRID, the borrower and executing agency of this project, to use available loan funds through minor scope changes. This enhanced project results and final outcome, particularly as ADB and POWERGRID were able to swiftly meet the requirements and provide timely support for the implementation of the scope changes.
