India's GDP over the past four years has clocked up an annual average growth rate of more than 8%. Despite urban India's significant contribution to the growing economy, it faces serious infrastructure problems. A large number of Indian cities and towns have a pressing need for adequate infrastructure facilities, specifically in the areas of water supply, sewerage, solid waste management, roads, transportation and housing. Government of India has ambitious plans to increase the spending on infrastructure to 8% of GDP over the next five years to achieve an economic growth rate of more than 9% over the next decade. The targeted growth rate will involve an increase in government spending and significant importance is being attached to Public-Private Partnerships (PPP).

IL&FS IDC Initiative in this sector

The project finance requirements are met through the Pooled Municipal Debt Obligation (PMDO) Facility of Rs. 30 billion (USD 674 million) that provides long tenor financing. In addition IL&FS Group Companies like Tamil Nadu Water Investment Company (TWIC) Limited, IL&FS Transportation Network Limited (ITNL) can undertake implementation of the water, wastewater and transportation projects. IL&FS Education and Technology Services (IETS) Limited provides e-Governance and capacity building services.

Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission (JNNURM)

Launched in December 2005, JNNURM prioritises the development, management and financing of the infrastructure sectors by providing significant grant funding. The Mission has a reform-oriented approach for comprehensive development linked to infrastructure investment and basic service delivery. JNNURM has two windows of opportunities: one for selected 63 urban local bodies and second for other cities through Urban Infrastructure Development Scheme for Small and Medium Towns (UIDSSMT). Total grants amounting to about Rs 500 billion (USD 11 billion) have been earmarked for seven years (2005-12) for this purpose. These in turn are expected to mobilize total investment of about Rs 1,200 billion (USD 26 billion) in urban infrastructure.

Project development approach

At the State level, IL&FS IDC with Urban Development Department, Government of West Bengal, has set up a JV company, to look into development, implementation and supervision of projects undertaken under JNNURM and other urban infrastructure project.

At the ULB level, IL&FS IDC with Guwahati Metropolitan Development Authority has set up a JV company, Infrastructure Development Corporation of Assam Ltd (IDCAL) to look into development, implementation and supervision of projects undertaken under JNNURM along with implementation of the mandatory Reform Agenda.

Background

Annual water requirements for India are expected to rise by about 40 percent in 2025 to about 1050 billion cubic meters, while the annual per capita availability is expected to fall from around 2,200 cubic meters in 2004 to 1,341 cubic meters in 2025. An extreme water crisis stares us in the face. Today, only 70% of the urban households have access to tap water with over 54% of the total water supplied being wasted due to leakages. The current growth rate for the economy can be achieved only through significant contribution of the service, manufacturing and the agriculture sectors - water is an essential ingredient for all sectors. With the many draw downs, the water sector is in need of focused initiatives.

Government of India prioritizes the development, management, and financing for water supply and sanitation, preservation of water bodies, and management of storm water drains by providing grant funding, under Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission (JNNURM) and Pooled Finance Development Fund (PFDF).

IL&FS IDC Initiative in this sector

We have been pioneering the concept of PPP projects in the water sector as early as 1995 through the Tirupur Area Development Program (water supply and waste water management) and Vishakhapatnam Water Supply projects.

Project Development Approach

IL&FS IDC's preferred approach is to partner with government agencies (State/ULBs) for creating the project concept, providing project / program management services, supporting the gap funding arrangements and assisting during implementation of projects and beyond.

Completed Projects

	Tirupur Area Development Program
	Vishakhatpatnam Water Supply Project

Ongoing Projects

	Adityapur Water Supply Project, Jharkhand
	Guwahati Water Supply, Sewerage and Drainage Project, Assam

Background

Urban India, with 28% of India's population, estimated to generate about 144,000 tons/day of municipal solid waste (MSW), imposes huge demand on scarce land resources with the prevalent practice of dumping on land. Further, absence of source segregation system renders waste in a mixed condition that is not readily available for processing by conventional technologies.

The MSW (Management & Handling) Rules 2000 triggered various initiatives in this sector and made processing of MSW mandatory prior to its disposal. Besides the regulatory issues, shortage of land, increased public awareness on environmental issues and deadline set up by the Supreme Court has put immense pressure on ULB to ensure proper management of MSW.

IL&FS IDC Initiative in this sector

IL&FS IDC has been providing technical, financial and commercial support to ULBs to evolve a workable and commercially viable model for MSW management. IL&FS IDC has also been closely working with Andhra Pradesh Technology Development Center (APTDC) on technical structuring issues.

Background

If cities are the growth catalyst, under the emerging economic scenario, transportation systems have to play a vital role and essence of that lies in providing safe, efficient and sustainable flow of people and goods.

National Urban Transport Policy, prepared by Ministry of Urban Development, Government of India, focuses on urban transportation at the stage of urban planning and encourages integration of land use with transport planning in all cities so that mobility for all, people as well as goods, can be achieved.

IL&FS IDC Initiative in this sector

IL&FS IDC undertakes project development of both road and rail based transportation systems. In order to take a focused position, IL&FS IDC along with the Ministry of Urban Development (MoUD), Government of India has set up the Urban Mass Transit Company (UMTC), which is presently engaged in developing various urban multi-modal transportation and related projects. IL&FS IDC has also entered into a strategic Memorandum of Agreement (MoA) with the Indore City Transport Services Limited (ICTSL) for carrying forward the successful model of the Indore example to other cities.

Project Development Approach

IL&FS IDC's preferred approach is to work in partnership with clients through the project development processes, which involve all aspects right from creating the project concepts to technology evaluation, detailing of the project contours, planning for and executing the procurement processes leading to project implementation and thereafter providing project management services including hand holding during project operation. IL&FS IDC's focus is to undertake comprehensive transportation exercise; develop and promote multimodal, integrated transport systems; and work towards institutional capacity building.
