Title Background Description Bhilwara accounts for about 47% of the net valued added of textiles in Rajasthan. Textiles and Related Products are among the most significant contributors to the state income (about 25% of net value addition of registered manufacturing in Rajasthan). For textile processing units, water is one of the most critical inputs and there is currently no organized mechanism for meeting the industrial water demand. It is proposed to set-up an Industrial Water Supply Project and Common Effluent Treatment Plant (CETP) for Bhilwara The two industrial projects are aimed at meeting the water requirements of the existing 27 units in Bhilwara besides reducing the effluent discharge level to within prescribe limits The existing water requirement of industries is approximately 18 MLD and 4 MLD is required by the new growth centre in Hamirgarh The project is estimated to cost Rs. 20.9 crore The cost of transportation of treated water, tertiary treatment & CETP should be shared by the industry and municipality. The CETP should be run by the industry association There is construction risk involved in CETP as the processing units are located in different regions. Also water may not be enough to draw for industrial purpose from the drinking water supply scheme. The project can be made viable and set up by the state by seeking assistance from centre under its various schemes for textile sector. The state needs to ensure co-ordination between the industry associations and government department to set-up the CETP and Industrial Water Supply project

1. Project Concept Background to Bhilwara Bhilwara district lies on the south eastern part of Rajasthan. It extends from 2501 to 250 58 north latitude and from 740 1 to 750 28 east longitude. The city enjoys a fairly high degree of accessibility. The district is bounded by district Ajmer in North, Chittaurgarh in South, Rajsamand in west and Bundi in East. The geographical area of the district is 1047451 hectares and covers approx 3.05% area of the state. There is only one main seasonal river in the district Banas. This river rises in the Aravali hills in the North in the Udaipur district. The river Banas enters the Bhilwara district near village Doodiya in tehsil Bhilwara. It approaches the hills of Mandalgarh and is joined by the river Berach on the right bank and Kothari on the left. The chief feeders of the river are Mansi, Khari, Kothari and Berach.

As per the 2001 census, the total population of the district is 20.09 lacs. 80% of the population resides in rural areas. The district has 8 towns which include Bhilwara, Shahpura, Jahazpur, Mandal, Asind, Bijoliya Kala, Mandalgarh and Gulabpura. The district has largely an agrarian workforce and approximately 74% of the total workforce is engaged in agriculture and related activities.

Bhilwara city is one of the most important industrial centres in Rajasthan. The region is the hub of textile industries in the state and Bhilwara is well known as Textile City. Before independence, it was famous for its mica, soapstone and sandstone mineral products at international level. In 1978 when the District Industrial Centre (DIC) was established, only 1059 small scale industries were registered. However by March 2002 this figure has risen to 12739. Besides textiles, insulation bricks, A.C. Conductors, tractors & compressors, china clay, 'Hozari' Products, fertilizers and 'Niwar' Industries are other main industries in Bhilwara.

Bhilwara is a developing city and the development has taken place in a very irregular manner. The random development of the city has created a barrier towards development of proper infrastructure and civic facilities. The main problems are arising out due to shortage of housing, growth of Kachhi Bastis, inadequate transport facilities, lack of drainage and solid waste management and shortage of infrastructure such as sewerage, water supply, inefficient road network etc. RIICO has developed 10 industrial areas having 1172 plots. The major industrial areas are Bhilwara Phase I, II, III and IV, Bhilwara Extension, Bigod (Mandalgarh), Jahazpur, Raila, Mandpiya and Kanya Kheri. RIICO has also proposed a new Growth Centre at Hamirgarh in the district. Majority of the industrial areas depend on ground water source for water supply. The rate of depletion of ground water in Bhilwara is amongst the highest in Rajasthan.

Bhilwara accounts for about 47% of the net valued added of textiles in Rajasthan. Textiles and Related Products is among the most significant contributors to the state income (about 25% of net value addition of registered manufacturing in Rajasthan). The textiles industry also accounts for as much as 97% of the total net value added of the district, thereby highlighting the importance of this industry to the economy of Bhilwara as well as Rajasthan

For textile processing units, water is one of the most critical inputs. The total water requirement of processing units in Bhilwara city is estimated to be 18 MLD (million litres per day) while the water requirement for the new growth centre is estimated to be approximately 4 MLD. There exists no system of providing water to these processing units. Most units are dependent on purchase of water from private tanker operators. For the survival of the existing textile units as well as to attract new industries, an organized system of water supply would be required.

Rajasthan Infrastructure Agenda 2025

Initial Screening Report (Ma 4)

It is therefore proposed to set-up an Industrial Water Supply Project for Bhilwara. Besides meeting the demand for existing textile units, this project would cater to future industrial development in the region. There are presently 22 processing houses and 8 dye houses in Bhilwara. Out of these, 22 process houses and 5 dye houses are located within Bhilwara city itself. Most of these units have their own Effluent Treatment Plant (ETP) with installed primary, secondary and tertiary treatment facilities. Rajasthan State Pollution Control Board has set the condition of zero effluent discharge on textile units. Current objective served by the ETP is to recycle water to make it reusable by the units. Currently only about 30% to 45% of the effluent can be recycled. Some of the older units are permitted to discharge only upto 30% of the discharge. Given the zero effluent discharge norm of RPCB, a common ETP would help to ensure that these units continue to function through ensuring recycling the entire effluent discharge. It is therefore proposed that a Common Effluent Treatment Plant (CETP) be set-up. A part of the treated water can be recycled to be used by the industries while the remaining could be discharged into the Banas river to recharge the ground water supply. Thus besides reducing the industrial effluents, the CETP would also assist in meeting the industrial water requirements for the textile units.

2. Project Beneficiaries. The textile industry in Rajasthan contributes to about 40% of the country's export of total synthetic blended yarn. There are approximately 34 large and medium scale units in Bhilwara district with an investment of Rs. 943.52 crore and providing employment to approximately 20677 people. Textile units constitute a majority of these industries and they are located primarily in and around Bhilwara city. The major beneficiaries of the proposed Industrial Water Supply Project and CETP are:

Rajasthan Infrastructure Agenda 2025

Initial Screening Report (Ma 4)

Industrial Projects - Bhilwara

Page 5

Textile Units: The two industrial projects would directly benefit the processing and dye houses in Bhilwara. Besides reduction in the effluent discharge, the water requirement for these units would be augmented to a large extent State Government: Bhilwara is an important industrial region for the state. Besides revenue in the form of direct and indirect taxes from textile related businesses, the region provides employment to a majority of the population and earns valuable foreign exchange through exports. Setting-up the industrial projects would assist in future industrial growth in Bhilwara and benefit the existing industries. 3. Demand.

The existing waster supply sources (Dams) are not receiving sufficient water even to meet the city drinking water demand of Bhilwara town. Further the inadequate rainfall has made the situation worse. The Ground Water Table (GWT) position within a few years has dropped from 100 ft. to 600 ft. The Public Health Engineering Department (PHED) is providing drinking water either on alternate day or once in three days. PHED is able to supply only 7 MLD water to meet city requirement from many sources against the desired demand of 28 MLD @100 lpcd (litres per capita per day). Considering the deficient water supply in the city, a new project of approximately Rs. 30 crore is undertaken by PHED in Kankroliya Ghati on Banas river, which will ensure 18 MLD of drinking water to the city.

It is proposed that the drinking water supply project also have a component for industrial water supply to meet the demand of the textile units. Bhilwara industrial water demand is substantial due to the presence of 30 large to medium scale textile industries in and around Bhilwara city. Water is one of the most important constituents of the textile processing industry. The total water requirement of processing units in Bhilwara city is estimated to be 18 MLD (million litres per day) while the water requirement for the new growth centre in Hamirgarh is

Rajasthan Infrastructure Agenda 2025

Initial Screening Report (Ma 4)

Industrial Projects - Bhilwara

Page 6

estimated to be approximately 4 MLD. Over the last few years, the water demand of the industries was not met. Currently, the processing industries are meeting their water demand by their own sources as described below:

Own Tube well source (Industry)

4.705 MLD

From Rented sources

2.99 MLD

From Private Tankers

2.06 MLD

By Recycling (ETP)

8.19 MLD 17.945 MLD

But in future it will be difficult to meet this water supply also. In the water scarce zones, it will be advisable to consider recycling the treated water from a domestic waste water treatment plant for industrial purposes. This will not only diminish the fresh water demand of the industry but will also help in conservation of the fresh water for potable use. Though the total water demand of an industry can not be met with the treated waste water effluent, but certain demands like use in boilers, gardening, floor washing and other similar uses can be met easily.

The quality of water required depends on its end use or uses. The tolerances for various impurities vary according to these use, the quality of water require in each case may differ greatly. Considering all these facts, it can be considered that treated effluent of from a Sewerage Treatment Plant (STP) can be used for industrial purposes after further tertiary treatment. The tertiary treatment plant envisaged shall be able to bring down the biological oxygen demand (BOD) & total suspended solids (TSS) levels of the STP effluent to 5 mg/l and 10 mg/l respectively. The effluent can be finally disinfected to bring

down coli form levels for human handling. Industries could use the treated effluent as per their different requirement.

Note: The above views on demand are based upon discussions with local industry associations, processing units and government departments. As this report is a preliminary report (detailed primary survey is not part of the scope of work), the same should be undertaken before finalization of the project concept.

Project Components and Cost Estimates.

The Kankroliya Ghati water supply project is aimed to augment the drinking water supply for Bhilwara town. The project would also link up seven villages between the water source and Bhilwara town and meet their drinking water requirements. The total project cost is estimated to be Rs. 29.13 crore. HUDCO would provide a loan of Rs. 23.5 crore for the project, while the remaining Rs. 5.63 crore would be borne by the state government. A pipeline of 47 km would be laid down between Kankroliya Ghati and Bhilwara. This would bring water to the city and augment its service level from existing 36 lpcd to 100 lpcd. Approximately 19 tubewells are proposed to be dug up in the Kankroliya Ghati basin. It is proposed that to meet the existing and future industrial water requirements of Bhilwara, a proportion of the industrial water requirement should be incorporated in the drinking water supply project.

Domestic Waste Water Treatment / Disposal Presently the whole sewage of Bhilwara city is disposed off in Kothari river situated in the north of city thereby causing pollution to surface & ground water sources. To protect the river basin a municipal sewerage treatment plant (STP) of 15 MLD capacity (approx.) is proposed to be constructed on the right bank of Kothari river. The major influent and effluent design criteria for this STP shall be follows below:Influent Quality

The STP will be designed to achieve the following treated sewage quality standards: BOD Total Suspended Solids Industrial Waste Water There are 27 textile units located within the Bhilwara city itself. These include 22 processing houses and 5 dye houses. Most of these units have not been located in a planned manner and are dispersed along three major routes which are highlighted below: 17 units are located on the Chittaurgarh road. These include 12 process houses and 4 dye houses. One dye unit is currently closed. These units extend over a distance of 14-15 km 6 units are located on the Bhilwara Udaipur road also known as the Pur road. There are 4 process houses and I dye unit on this stretch, while one process unit is currently closed. 3 process houses are located in the RIICO industrial area while the dye unit is located in the city area. 4 processing house units are located on the Ajmer road. : : 30 mg/l or less 50 mg/l or less

The average fabric processing capacity of these 22 units is approximately 10 lac metres per day. The average water requirement of the units is approximately 15-17 litres per metres. All 22 units have good primary and tertiary treatment facilities, while about 50% of the units have biological treatment facilities to reduce the BOD level. Most of the dye units use vast land for plantation purposes and the land requirement is approximately 40% of the total land requirement. The average discharge from the units is 9000-11000 KL/day, which is roughly 60% of the total intake of water. The water used for processing in Bhilwara has very high totally dissolved solids (TDS). This TDS reduction is not possible by conventional means and requires expensive techniques like reverse osmosis or electro dialysis. The industrial waste water of major industrial area situated on Udaipur (Pur) road and Chittor road is being discharged in a natural drain & finally in Gaudi Nala and spreading in fields, thereby causing local environmental problem. Major Industrial Area Chittor Road Industry Effluent Udaipur Road Industry Effluent Total Effluent Quantity 6 MLD 1.5 MLD 7.5 MLD

Hence a Common Effluent Treatment Plant (CETP) of 7.5 MLD is proposed close to river Banas and the treated effluent of CETP could be discharged into the river or reused for agriculture purposes. To overcome the shortage of water, it would be possible to reuse the treated water by pumping it back to the individual units. Project Cost The total project cost is estimated to be Rs. 20.9 crore. The break-up of this cost into various elements is presented below. STP of 15 MLD near Subhash Nagar & - Rs. 4.95 crore and Kothari River by (Municipality)

5.

Project Economics.

The cost of STP should be shared fully by Bhilwara municipality & cost of transportation of treated water, tertiary treatment & CETP should be shared by the industry and the municipality. The CETP should be run by the industry association. The treatment process and exact plant capacity would be established during the Detailed Feasibility Study based on quality and quantity of available waste water at the STP site.

6.

Suggested Project Structure and Government Support Required

The project should be implemented under a public private partnership with Government of Rajasthan or one of its nodal agencies being a cosponsor of the project and the textile industry association of Bhilwara being the other sponsor. There needs to be government support to the project and the same can be done by providing land for STP and CETP and ensuring co-ordination between various government agencies (like PHED, Ground Water Department, Irrigation Department, Municipality and Rajasthan State Pollution Control Board) and industrial association.

Government can also look at raising funds for the project under GoI schemes. The MOEF (Ministry of Environment and Forests) has set up a scheme for establishing common effluent treatment plants (CETP) in clusters of small industry units .The scheme is executed through the Central Pollution Control Board in association with the State Pollution Control Boards. About 7 CETP projects have been approved under the scheme and these are at various stages of implementation. The state government should pursue the same with the central government to set-up the CETP in Bhilwara.

Rajasthan Infrastructure Agenda 2025

Initial Screening Report (Ma 4)

Page 11

The state can also seek assistance from the centre under its various schemes for textile sector. The central governments Textile Centres Infrastructure Development Scheme (TCID) which is a part of the drive to improve infrastructure facilities at potential textile growth centres and therefore, aims at removing bottlenecks in exports so as to achieve the target of US$ 50 billion by 2010 as envisaged in the National Textile Policy, 2000.

Under the scheme funds can be given to Central/ State Government Departments/ Public Sector Undertakings/ Other Central /State Governments agencies/recognized industrial association or entrepreneur bodies for development of infrastructure directly benefiting the textile units. The fund would not be available for individual production units. The central assistance will be subject to a maximum of Rs.20 crores for a particular centre and it would be limited to 100% of the critical components of the project in respect of Common Effluent Treatment Plant, improving water supply and drainage facilities and construction of crche buildings for Apparel Units. The other components shall be funded on 75:25 between centre and states / reputed agencies concerned. 7. Assessment of Project Risks.

The various risks that are envisaged in the development of the project and measures that can be taken to mitigate these risks are highlighted below:

Construction Risk: Since the industrial areas are dispersed along three different road stretches, it would be difficult to combine the industrial waste for the purpose of CETP. Also since there is no definite estimation on the quantity of water in the Kankroliya Ghati basin, it would be difficult to incorporate an industrial water component in the project. This has to be ascertained after a detailed feasibility

Rajasthan Infrastructure Agenda 2025

Initial Screening Report (Ma 4)

Industrial Projects - Bhilwara

Page 12

which highlights that there would be water available after meeting the drinking water requirements.

Implementation Risk: The project success would depend largely on the governments ability to co-ordinate interaction between industry associations and concerned government departments.

It is understood that the demand for industrial water in Bhilwara cannot be met from the water supply scheme for drinking water for Bhilwara Town. Therefore, alternatives such as use of treated waste water from the CETP as well as from the STP need to considered. Improving the use of recycled water would reduce the demand for fresh water for industrial usage.

The process houses and industries are not located in a planned manner and are spread out throughout the region. Therefore, the cost of transportation of the effluent has been taken into account for project costing. It is true that the process houses and dye houses are required to operate their own effluent treatment plants with zero effluent discharge as per norms of Rajasthan Pollution Control Board. However, these treatment plants are very old and cannot meet the effluent discharge standards. A CETP would help these units to continue to operate without incurring substantial capital investment for purchasing new equipment.

8.

Conclusion.

To promote industrial growth in Bhilwara and meet the unmet requirements of industrial water, it is essential to undertake the two industrial projects. Besides boosting the textile production of the region on account of more units being set-up, it would bring down the effluent discharge level, thereby improving the quality of ground water.

Top Sheet for ISR: Integrated Utility Management of Bhiwadi


Title
Background

Description
Although Bhiwadi was promoted as an industrial township and rapid industrial growth rate has been witnessed in Bhiwadi during the early 1990s, this has not been associated with matching infrastructure facilities and as a result there has been considerable slowdown in investment in the region. Further, with the proposed development of industrial model township by Haryana Government in Manesar, the attractiveness of Bhiwadi has been further eroded. To reverse this trend there is an urgent need to improve the infrastructure availability at Bhiwadi. Integrated utility management, including the following components: 1) System for wastewater and storm water disposal, 2) Sewerage system, 3) Solid waste management, 4) General Environmental Improvement, 5) Rainwater conservation, etc. The overall objective of integrated utility management project is to develop quality industrial infrastructure in Bhiwadi, so as to enhance the industrial potential of Bhiwadi by easing some of the constraints being faced by industrial units. Improper drainage and disposal of wastewater has resulted in water logging and contamination of groundwater and sub-soil. There is also no closed underground sewerage system in the town currently, and there is a requirement for a solid waste management system. The total cost of the project is estimated to be Rs. 4950 lakh. The main risks include availability of funds for design consultancy and implementation of works; land acquisition for major installations such as CETPs, pumping stations, secured landfill; capacity of the concerned authority to enter into an agreement with the private parties for installation of CETPs, etc. Private sector participation can be sought for some of the proposed services, especially for the construction of CETP and construction of secured landfill for hazardous waste disposal on DBO basis. A detailed bankable project report should be prepared by a consultant who can be given a lumpsum fee for preparing the bankable documents for posing to funding agencies. It is suggested that a Project Implementation Unit (PIU) be formed by drawing specialists in the fields of engineering, industrial waste management, health and environment, from the concerned departments. The PIU should be headed by a team leader who will co-ordinate the implementation of the design and implementation works / activities. A project implementation period of 18 months is suggested.

1. Project Concept Bhiwadi is located in Alwar district, at a distance of about 70 km from Delhi, on the Delhi-Jaipur National Highway-8. Bhiwadi has grown as an industrial area town since 1976-77, when it was established with the assistance of Rajasthan State Industrial and Investment Corporation Ltd. (RIICO).

Bhiwadi is part of the National Capital Region (NCR), which comprises the region around and including Delhi, and covers parts of the states of Haryana, Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh. Within the NCR, Bhiwadi plays an important role in the economic development of Rajasthan as well as in decongesting Delhi and Gurgaon.

RIICO has developed Bhiwadi in phases, and at present there are about 1100 small and medium sized units comprising of automobiles,

Initial Screening Report (M a 5)

Integrated Utility Management of Bhiwadi

Page 3

chemicals, paints, drugs, pharmaceuticals and food products. The main industrial areas within the Bhiwadi regions consists of Bhiwadi town, Kushkhera and Chopanki. While the Bhiwadi industrial area is fully occupied the industrial areas of Kushkhera and Chopanki are largely unoccupied.

Bhiwadi industrial area is strategically located in the NCR region and its proximity to the large markets of the northern region makes it an ideal location for attracting industrial investments. In the recent past there has been considerable interest shown by investors in investing in the region.

With a view to facilitate development of the industrial area into a industrial township and ensure coordination between various departments of the Government, GoR had created Bhiwadi Industrial Development Authority (BIDA) in July 1997. However, it has since been disbanded.

Although Bhiwadi was promoted as an industrial township and rapid industrial growth rate has been witnessed in Bhiwadi during the early 1990s, this has not been associated with matching infrastructure facilities and as a result there has been considerable slowdown in investment in the region. Further, with the proposed development of industrial model township by Haryana Government in Manesar, the attractiveness of Bhiwadi has been further eroded.

To reverse this trend there is an urgent need to improve the infrastructure availability at Bhiwadi. It is in this background that the current project profile has been prepared. The overall objective of integrated utility management project is to develop quality industrial infrastructure in Bhiwadi, so as to enhance the industrial potential of Bhiwadi by easing some of the constraints being faced by industrial units.

2. Project Beneficiaries The project beneficiaries include the population of Bhiwadi Industrial Area and the surrounding villages and township, as also floating population, mainly from Delhi.

The population of Bhiwadi Industrial Area and the immediate surrounding villages (5 in number) and township is estimated at over 55,000, while the population of the industrial area and surrounding 17 villages is approximately 1.15 lakh. The floating population from Delhi and surrounding region is estimated to be 20,000 50,000. So in total, a population of 1,50,000 (approximately 1 lakh fixed and 50,000 floating), covering the industrial area of 2000 acres developed by RIICO and could be considered to be the project beneficiaries for the current project.

3. Demand Mentioned below are the demand drivers for the integrated utility management project for Bhiwadi.

1. Lack of adequate collection and treatment of wastewater and storm water: Improper drainage and disposal of wastewater has resulted in water logging and contamination of groundwater and sub-soil. Each phase in Bhiwadi has a network of open drains to collect wastewater from individual industries as well as serve as storm water drain. These drains collect the wastewater towards the disposal site located at the west side of the industrial estate from where it ends up in the low-lying areas, creating unhealthy and unsanitary conditions for the colonies around it. The collecting drains are breached at some locations and not all the wastewater reaches the disposal site. There is thus a need for proper wastewater and storm water disposal.

Rajasthan Infrastructure Agenda 2025

Initial Screening Report (M a 5)

Integrated Utility Management of Bhiwadi

Page 5

Most of the major industries in the region have their own effluent treatment plants, and some of them claim to reuse most of their treated effluent for gardening and other purposes in their factory premises. About 5-6 MLD of combined domestic and industrial wastewater is generated, out of which the domestic component is estimated to be 55 to 60%. Industrial wastewater quality and effluent discharge standards are as follows:

Parameters PH TSS TDS BOD COD

Influent (mg/l) 6.6 6.8 115 - 128 1600 - 1750 192 - 217 562 - 588

Effluent for irrigation (mg/l) 5.5 - 9 < 200 < 2100 < 100 < 100

2. Lack of closed underground sewerage system: Currently, Bhiwadi has no closed sewerage system the sewerage is carried through open surface drains. There is thus a need for a proper closed sewerage system for the entire town. This is in line with the need for projecting Bhiwadi as an Industrial Township as distinct from an Industrial Area.

3. Other urban infrastructure: There is a need for a proper solid waste management system, for which a landfill site needs to be identified and developed. Also, due to the groundwater position, rainwater conservation measures and other techniques for recharging groundwater need to be looked at.

4. Project Description and Cost Estimates This section details the various components described in the previous section, alongwith preliminary cost estimates.

1. System for wastewater / storm water disposal: The present system of disposal of effluent in the Sahibi River in Haryana needs

to be avoided as it has and continues to create discord between the two states.

Recently RIICO (erstwhile BIDA) has initiated a 6 MLD existing CETP for both domestic and industrial waste water. This CETP has been designed for meeting irrigation discharge standards. This can be easily upgraded to produce treated effluent suitable for water stream discharge. It can be recycled for industries reuse after employing the tertiary treatment as well.

For the other remaining areas such as Chopanki (RL 280 m), SCIPA (RL-270 m) through Khushkhera (PL-260-252 m), a new CETP of capacity 6 MLD could be installed on or near Sahibi riverbank (RL-248m). The water demand of the industries is 1000 gallons/acre/day. The capacity of the CETP comes out to be 6 MLD. The land area required for the CETP shall be approximately 6 acres. It may be mentioned that in Chopanki industrial area only 80% of the area can be covered through a CETP because of the topographical characteristics of that area and hence RIICO should ensure that allocation of land to industrial units in the industrial area is undertaken in such a manner that no polluting industry is set up in that area.

Rajasthan Infrastructure Agenda 2025

Initial Screening Report (M a 5)

Integrated Utility Management of Bhiwadi

Page 7

As new industrial areas such as Khushkhera, Chopanki and Sarekhurd are yet to be fully developed, the effluent of all the industries of the new areas could be flowed down in closed conduits and disposed off in the proposed CETP near Sahibi river in Rajasthan. This new CETP could be integrated into the planned disposal drain at Industrial Area Khushkhera (see exhibit).

Another option could be to install individual CETPs at Chopanki and Khushkhera areas but these would only be useful and

Rajasthan Infrastructure Agenda 2025

Initial Screening Report (M a 5)

Integrated Utility Management of Bhiwadi

Page 8

The third option could be that Chopanki industrial wastewater of the tune of 3 MLD is carried to the existing dam, which is close to Chopanki, and the same diluted water is reused for the Chopanki Industrial purposes.

Considering all above options / facts, it is suggested that a combined CETP of 6 MLD be set up near the river for both Chopanki and Khushkhera areas.

In addition, a storm water disposal system for Bhiwadi is also proposed, for which the cost is included separately. 2. Sewerage system: A proper closed underground sewerage system for the entire town is proposed.

3. Solid Waste Management: There is a need for a proper solid waste management system. This would involve identifying a sanitary landfill site, carrying out an Environmental Impact Assessment study, etc. Initial estimates suggest that roughly 25 hectares of land for 20 years period can be acquired for the landfill site.

4. General Environmental Improvement: It is suggested that plantation activities with the help of local NGOs be initiated.

Rajasthan Infrastructure Agenda 2025

5. Project Economics The total cost of the projects for improvement of sewerage & drainage systems, hazardous waste disposal and construction of new CETP are estimated to be Rs. 4950 lakh. The capital cost per person works out to approximately Rs. 2475, with additional amount of 15% as O&M charges per annum for maintaining the above-proposed facilities.

Since this investment will be for the total town population for the design horizon of approximately 30 years, the works could be carried out in phases.

Private sector participation can be sought for these services especially for the construction of CETP and construction of secured landfill for hazardous waste disposal on DBO basis.

A detailed bankable project report should be prepared by a consultant who can be given a lumpsum fee for preparing the bankable documents for posing to funding agencies. A success fee should be offered to the consultants in case they are successful in arranging the funds.

6. Assessment of Project Risks On the basis of discussions, the following risks are envisaged for this project: Availability of funds for both design consultancy and implementation of works Land acquisition for major installations such as CETPs, pumping stations, secured landfill. The secured landfill site is to be carefully chosen, with consideration to environmental and other social factors Capacity of the concerned authority to enter into an agreement with the private parties for installation of CETPs, on DBO basis

Rajasthan Infrastructure Agenda 2025

Environmental Impact Assessment would be required due to large construction activities

During project development and preparation of detailed reports, studies should be taken up to determine remedial steps for mitigating these risks. 7. Structure of the Project and Government Support required The project is unlikely to attract private investments and yet are critical for development of Bhiwadi as an Industrial Model Township. Funding for this project would need to be made through budgetary allocations and through CSS such as CETP (MOEF) and cluster development scheme of GoI. It is suggested that a Project Implementation Unit (PIU) be formed by drawing specialists in the fields of engineering, industrial waste management, health and environment, from the concerned departments. The PIU should be headed by a team leader who will co-ordinate the implementation of the design and implementation works/ activities.

The following time frame for implementation of the schemes is suggested: 1. Design, Drawings & Tender Documents 2. Construction of sewerage system - 6 months - 12 months after Activity-1 3. Construction of CETP & secured landfill - 12 months after Activity-1 8. Conclusion As mentioned earlier, the integrated utility management project aims to develop quality industrial infrastructure in Bhiwadi, so as to enhance the industrial potential of Bhiwadi. While Bhiwadi has shown strong growth ever since its establishment, infrastructure for industries has not kept pace with this growth, and in order to attract more industries

Rajasthan Infrastructure Agenda 2025

Initial Screening Report (M a 5)

Page 13

in future, there is an urgent need to upgrade the industrial infrastructure in the town.

The main components suggested in the project include upgradation of the sewerage and drainage (including wastewater and storm water drainage) systems in Bhiwadi, upgradation of municipal and hazardous waste management system, and solid waste management (including cost of landfill site, equipment, etc.) It may be noted that a component for augmentation of water supply to the (19) villages surrounding Bhiwadi through creation of a tubewell and Elevated Storage Reservoir (ESR) in each village along with all accessories / piping, etc. was also proposed in the initial project profile. However, based on discussions with RIICO and other government departments at the round table at Jaipur, it was decided that this component could be taken up at a later stage given the fact that availability of funds is likely to be a constraining factor for this project and therefore the need to prioritise components.

For implementation, government support is envisaged, and for this, it is suggested that a Project Implementation Unit (PIU) be formed by drawing specialists from various fields. An implementation time schedule of 18 months is suggested for the project.

Apart from the above requirements, certain additional projects have been identified by RIICO as critical for integrated development of Bhiwadi Region. These include (a) Bhiwadi-Rewari rail link, (b) Earth Station at I.T Park and (c) Centralised Common Facility for Testing and Quality Control in Bio-Technology Park. These projects have been proposed for funding to the Critical Infrastructure Fund of the State Government.

Description While Jaipur has been identified as one of the regions in Rajasthan that are likely to attract the maximum investment in the industrial sector, the industrial areas in Jaipur face problems relating to quantum and quality of water for industrial use. The groundwater table has been depleting rapidly, and so groundwater cannot be a future source of water for industries. This project seeks to meet the urgent need for water for industries located in Jaipur region, specifically for the Sitapura Industrial Area, by drawing water from the main Bisalpur-Jaipur water project through creation of a spur line and other infrastructure for water transmission to this industrial area. The project objective is to improve the water supply scenario for industries in Jaipur region. The options analysed are: Option A supply recycled water from STP to industries, Option B draw water from Bisalpur through creation of a spur line to Sitapura. Most industrial areas in Jaipur region already face a water shortage, and in areas such as Sitapura, there is a problem relating to water quality as well because of the high fluoride content of groundwater. Option A is not considered feasible and so cost estimates have not been worked out. The cost of option B would be Rs. 4 crore. Supply of water to the Sitapura Industrial Area would ease the current problems relating to availability and quality of water for industrial use. This would thus provide a boost to the existing and proposed units in this industrial area. All risk factors that would affect the main Bisalpur project (such as tying up of funding sources, etc.) would also affect this project. In addition, an agreement between PHED and RIICO for sharing of Bisalpur water for industrial use needs to be formalised. The project could most likely be funded from JBIC / other financial institutions, as funding from these sources for the Part I of Phase I of Bisalpur is yet to be fully tied up. Another option is to obtain funds from the government budget allocation to the Industries Department. Yet another option is to recover a part of the cost from charging existing industrial units in these industrial areas / increasing the rates for plots to new units.

1. Background Jaipur is ideally placed to attract investment in the industrial sector, given its proximity to large markets (such as those of Delhi, Punjab, and Haryana), location on the NH-8, good transportation linkages, etc. Infact, Jaipur has been identified as one of the key industrial clusters in Rajasthan. These clusters are believed to hold most of the future investment potential in the state. Jaipur also lies on the existing northern industrial corridor as identified by the NCAER, which extends into Rajasthan into the districts of Alwar and Jaipur.

The Jaipur region has been divided into four broad industrial areas by RIICO these are Jaipur (South), Jaipur (North), Jaipur (Rural), and Sitapura. Each of these in turn consists of several industrial areas. There are currently approximately 50 medium and large scale running units in Jaipur, and about 20,000 small-scale units. Jaipur is a center for industries relating to textiles and related products, agro-based industries, handicrafts, and basic metals and metal products.

The current availability of water for domestic and commercial purposes in Jaipur is estimated at 300 MLD (million litres per day), of which about 10 MLD is obtained from Ramgarh Lake, which is dependent upon monsoon precipitation in its catchment. This is not a very reliable source, as the lake has dried up frequently, resulting in some very difficult water supply conditions especially in the walled city.

Given the current (2001) population of 23.48 lakh, the above water availability translates into a gross supply level of about 128 lpcd. As against the total water supply, there is an estimated water demand of 319 MLD (as of 2001), which is projected to increase to 598 MLD in 2011 and 897 MLD in 2021. The projected water demand in Jaipur is shown in the figure overleaf.

There are over 1000 PHED tubewells in the city through which groundwater is available. However, there has been a rapid depletion in the groundwater levels, with the water table declining in large areas of the city.

It is clear that in the absence of augmentation of water supply, there is likely to be a large demand-supply gap for water in Jaipur. The only sustainable solution to the projected water shortage in the future is therefore augmentation of water supply through a surface water source. The proposed Bisalpur water supply project is the most likely solution.

In industrial areas, the water supply is managed by RIICO (except for the Vishwakarma industrial area, where the responsibility for industrial water supply was transferred to PHED in the year 1980-81). These industrial areas currently face water shortages and also problems relating to water quality.

In order to ensure rapid and sustained development of the industrial areas in Jaipur, one of the key requirements is availability of adequate

infrastructure, including water for industrial purposes. This project profile looks at options on addressing the constraints relating to water shortage for industrial water supply in Jaipur.

2. Project Need As mentioned, there has been severe depletion of groundwater in Jaipur, with the water table going down rapidly. There has been a drop in the ground water level in Jaipur of up to 22 meters in highly exploited areas. Recent data on ground water in Jaipur indicates the following situation:

Recharge Draft Stage of development

53.34 m cum 143.98 m cum 269.96%

If this trend continues, the reserves available will not last long unless an alternative surface water source is commissioned. It is estimated that around 26 sq. km area will become dry by the year 2006 and that there will be a reduction of yield of PHED tube wells by 25.5 m.cum per year by then. There has also been an increase in the level of nitrates in groundwater (in large areas of Jaipur, the level of nitrates has exceeded 100 ppm, which is the relaxed limit as per norms).

Several industrial areas are also facing problems with respect to water supply for industrial use (see exhibit overleaf). In areas such as Sitapura, groundwater availability is a problem, and the fluoride content in the water is also reportedly higher than that according to norms. Because groundwater cannot be a future source of water, the only possible solutions to the water shortage are that treated water from any Sewage Treatment Plants (STPs) in the area are made available for industrial purposes or surface water from the Bisalpur project is diverted for industrial use.

Given the rapid industrialization of Jaipur and adjoining areas, and the depletion of ground water, the survival of industrial units would depend upon availability of water and hence there is a need for an industrial water supply project for Jaipur. The options for augmenting the water supply for the industrial areas in the city have been analysed in this project profile.

3. Project Beneficiaries Implementation of the proposed project is likely to benefit the industries located in the industrial areas in Jaipur region, especially the Sitapura industrial area.

Rajasthan Infrastructure Agenda 2025

Initial Screening Report (Ma 6)

Industrial Water Supply for Jaipur

Page 6

There are about 350 units in operation currently in Sitapura. These units are involved in production of garments, gems & jewellery, wooden handicrafts, etc. In the future, a larger number of serviceoriented industries are expected to come up in this area, particularly in the EPIP thus the urgent requirement for adequate quantity and quality of water.

The existing units, as well as units which are likely to start operation, will be the main project beneficiaries of the current project.

4. Current status of initiatives The current status of the proposed Bisalpur water supply augmentation project as well as proposed sewage treatment plant under the Rajasthan Urban Infrastructure Development project (RUIDP) is given below:

Bisalpur water supply project: The Government of Rajasthan has taken the initiative to identify possible alternate sources of water for Jaipur, and solve the problem of supply of drinking water to the city. A dam located at Bisalpur (about 120 km away from Jaipur) on River Banas (that is a tributary to river Chambal in the Yamuna Basin) has been constructed. This dam, with a capacity of 906.51 m cum is proposed to be the source for future augmentation of Jaipur Water Supply. The dam is already being utilised as a source of water for the city of Ajmer and five other towns of district Ajmer.

The Bisalpur project is to be implemented in two phases. The first phase of the project has been designed for a raw water capacity of 1060 MLD and treated water capacity of 1019 MLD. The cost of the first phase of the project is estimated at Rs. 1100 crore.

Rajasthan Infrastructure Agenda 2025

Initial Screening Report (Ma 6)

Industrial Water Supply for Jaipur

Page 7

Part I of the first phase, which will be implemented first, has been designed for a raw water capacity of 540 MLD and treated water capacity of 400 MLD (360 MLD urban and 40 MLD rural). Industrial demand for water has been taken at 4% of the total projected demand. The estimated cost of part I of the first phase of the project is Rs. 690 crore, for which the following funding sources are envisaged:

Asian Development Bank (RUIDP) JNN / JDA ARWSP Plan Budget Other FIs (JBIC, etc.)

Rs. 480 crore Rs. 30 crore Rs. 25 crore Rs. 45 crore Rs. 110 crore

A techno-economic feasibility study of this project has been carried out through a French consulting firm, SAFEGE. The main findings of the study, detailing the technical features of the project, are as follows:

Source: Bisalpur dam located about 120 km south of Jaipur Intake Pumps: 9 double speed vertical turbine pumps have been proposed along with the necessary equipment

Raw Water Transmission Mains: A 2400 mm MS transmission pipeline 1.2 km long, followed by PSCC pipeline for length 7.2 km upto the treatment plant has been proposed

Treatment Plant: To be located at a distance of 8.4 km from the intake near Surajpura

Treated Water Transmission System: The study recommends use of MS or PSCC pipes depending on the water pressure. The alignment for pipes has been chosen to follow a route of an abandoned railway track for about 65 km

Terminal Point: The terminal point has been recommended at Balawala, an abandoned railway station south of Jaipur. This pumping station will also be provided with variable speed

pumps transferring water from the transmission mains to the city distribution network Distribution System: The distribution system will consist of primary and secondary transfer mains, secondary booster stations, distribution sector stations, reservoirs and also the distribution network refurbishment

The proposed alignment for the Bisalpur water supply project is as shown in the map below and explained in the table overleaf. Tenders for the main transmission line as well as for the two Central Water Reservoirs (CWRs) at Ramniwas Bagh and Balavala have already been floated.

Source: PHED, Jaipur

Under Part I of Phase I, only the Central Branch is envisaged to be implemented (this would account for 69% of the total capacity envisaged as part of Phase I). Part I of the first phase is expected to be completed by October 2006.

Sewage Treatment Plants: Currently, there is one Sewage Treatment Plant in Jaipur region. This is located at Brahmpuri in North Jaipur. Under RUIDP, an STP of 62.5 MLD capacity will be constructed at Delawas, south of Jaipur. The estimated cost of setting up this STP is Rs. 23 crore.

5. Project configuration and cost estimates. Given the rapid fall in the groundwater table and the poor quality of groundwater in most areas of Jaipur region, groundwater is not a likely future source of water for industrial purposes. In the absence of this option, there are broadly two alternatives that could be considered for augmentation of industrial water supply in Jaipur. These are detailed below.

Rajasthan Infrastructure Agenda 2025

Initial Screening Report (Ma 6)

Industrial Water Supply for Jaipur

Page 10

Option A A possible option for augmentation of water supply to industries in Jaipur is to consider recycling the treated water from a domestic sewage treatment plant for industrial purposes. This will not only reduce the fresh water demand of the industry but will also help in conservation of the fresh water for potable use. Water required for certain purposes such as for use in boilers, gardening, floor washing, etc. could possibly be met through recycling.

The quality of water required depends on its end use or uses. The tolerances for various impurities vary according to these uses, and the quality of water required in each case may thus differ greatly.

As mentioned, a sewage treatment plant is proposed to be commissioned under RUIDP (at Delawas, south of Jaipur). Supplying treated water from the latter could be a possible option for augmenting water supply in Sitapura. However, given the fact that a number of service-oriented industries are likely to come up in Sitapura (including at the EPIP), the quality of water that could be made available from Delawas is not envisaged to be suitable for the requirements of the units at Sitapura. Also, while an STP already exists in Brahmpuri in North Jaipur, this is also not considered a viable option mainly because of its distance from existing industrial areas in the region and also because the quality of treated water is again not likely to meet the requirements of the units.

This has therefore not been considered a feasible option in this project, and supplying water from the Bisalpur project specifically for industrial usage has been examined as the next (and more feasible) option.

Option B This option involves creation of a spur line from the Bisalpur transmission lines for supply of water to the Sitapura Industrial Area.

Rajasthan Infrastructure Agenda 2025

Initial Screening Report (Ma 6)

Industrial Water Supply for Jaipur

Page 11

As mentioned, the implementation of the Central Branch into Jaipur region will be taken up under Part I of Phase I of the Bisalpur project.

For the spur line to Sitapura, there are two possible options for the offtake point this could be at the Airport (on the Eastern Branch) or just before Sanganer Railway Station. However, work on the Eastern Branch is only likely to be taken up under Part II of Phase I, i.e. after October 2006. Therefore, the point where the main transmission line divides into the three branch lines, i.e. just before the Sanganer Railway Station, has been taken as the starting point for the spur line to Sitapura. Both at the starting point of the spur line and where the main spur line divides into branch lines to supply water to Sitapura (as shown in exhibit below), reservoirs and pumping stations would need to be constructed. From these reservoirs, water would be pumped into the existing reservoirs within Sitapura.

The total cost of option B for augmentation of industrial water supply works out to Rs. 4 crore.

An option was also considered for creation of a spur line to the Vishwakarma Industrial Area. For that, the starting point for the spur line was taken as Amanishah, where the Central Branch terminates. There would also be need for a reservoir at this point, as well as pumping stations, and these yielded a total cost of Rs. 6 crore. However, this option has not been considered in this ISR as based on discussions with RIICO and other government officials, it was decided that supplying water to the Sitapura Industrial Area was of higher priority, especially with the proposed Special Economic Zone (SEZ) at Sitapura, which has already been approved by the central government. Therefore, in this phase, only industrial water supply to Sitapura has been considered.

6. Project Economics The total cost of the suggested option for augmentation of industrial water supply works out to Rs. 4 crore.

Preliminary cost economics suggest that it may be difficult to consider involving the private sector to fund this project. Various options for funding the capital cost of the project have been considered. These are briefly explained as follows:

Funding from Financial Institutions such as JBIC: As mentioned, for the main Bisalpur project, one of the sources of funds includes financial institutions such as JBIC, from which Rs.

Rajasthan Infrastructure Agenda 2025

Initial Screening Report (Ma 6)

Industrial Water Supply for Jaipur

Page 13

110 crore is envisaged to be obtained as part of Phase I (Part I) of the project. The augmentation of water supply for industrial areas should be taken up as part of the Phase I (Part I) of the project, and so funding from JBIC and other financial institutions could be considered for the same as well

Funding from the Government Budget: Some part of the Government of Rajasthan budget allocation for the Industries Department could be allocated for the proposed project

Funds from existing industrial units: Another possible source of funds for the project could be through a charge on the existing industrial units in the Sitapura Industrial Area. However, it is understood that the rates for plots paid by existing units already included a charge for all requisite infrastructure, including water supply. It may therefore be difficult to implement this option

Increase in plot charges for un-allotted plots: An alternative could be that RIICO could charge higher rates for plots from new units (i.e. for the plots which have not been allotted yet), as the industrial water supply project suggested would significantly improve the situation with respect to water supply to these units

It would be feasible to recover the O&M cost of the project from the industries and this could be charged by RIICO. Of the options for funding of capital cost discussed above, it is recommended that the first option (funding from Financial Institutions such as JBIC) be explored as the most feasible option.

Given the criticality of this project, it has been proposed to the Critical Infrastructure Fund of the State Government for assistance of Rs. 5 crore between 2004-2006.

7. Assessment of Project Risks

Rajasthan Infrastructure Agenda 2025

Initial Screening Report (Ma 6)

Industrial Water Supply for Jaipur

Page 14

Some of the anticipated risks involved in the suggested project are listed as follows: The suggested project should be taken up as part of Phase I (Part I) of the main Bisalpur water supply project. All the risk factors affecting Part I of Phase I of the project, including the funding risk (the fact that all the funding for this project has not been tied up yet), would also affect the proposed project for augmentation of industrial water supply. While the detailed feasibility report for the Bisalpur project takes into account projected demand for industrial water (at 4% of total demand), there needs to be a formal agreement between PHED and RIICO to ensure that water from the Bisalpur project is allocated/earmarked for industrial purposes as well, for which this proposed project suggests a possible configuration. 8. Conclusion A sustainable solution for meeting water requirements for industries in the Jaipur region is critical for the overall economic development of the city and the region. This project profile provides a possible solution, by utilising part of the water from the proposed Bisalpur project for Jaipur. However, the cost estimates provided in this report may be refined following detailed technical engineering studies to finalise the project alignment, pressure, location of reservoirs, etc., and therefore the cost of the project.

However, given the criticality of the project, it is important that GoR takes forward the option suggested here as part of Phase I (Part I) of the Bisalpur water supply project.

Development of Rewari-Bhiwadi Rail Link

Page 2

Background Bhiwadi is located in Alwar district of Rajasthan, and is part of the National Capital Region (NCR) of India (see exhibit). Bhiwadi region is one of the most important and rapidly developing industrial areas of Rajasthan, and is located at a distance of about 70 km from Delhi.

At the heart of the region is Bhiwadi industrial area, set up in 1976, spread over an area of 2,138 acres. It houses about 1100 small and medium sized units currently. Apart from the industrial township of Bhiwadi, there are a number of other industrial areas within the Bhiwadi region.

It is expected that Bhiwadi would ultimately emerge as a major industrial centre in the Northern Region. Keeping in view the enormous potential of growth in this area, the State Government has

Rajasthan Infrastructure Agenda 2025

Project Concept Note: Ma-7

Development of Rewari-Bhiwadi Rail Link

Page 3

decided to develop Bhiwadi as a major industrial township for which the "Bhiwadi Industrial Development Authority" has already been constituted.

A large number of initiatives have been planned and developed for the region. These include the following:

Development of a multi-modal logistics centre (Dry Port) in Bhiwadi region Export Promotion Industrial Park at Tapukra Special Economic Zone at Chopanki area Integrated Utility Management of Bhiwadi

In view of the current and projected economic activity in Bhiwadi region, and the transportation needs to service this activity, there is an urgent need for connecting Bhiwadi to the nearest broad gauge rail head at Rewari (in Haryana), situated on the Delhi-Ahmedabad line. The proposed link does not figure amongst the likely rail projects to be taken up by Indian Railways (IR) in the foreseeable future and, as such, GoR deems it fit to explore ways of structuring the above project for private sector participation, within the applicable regulatory framework. Such projects in the private sector are being currently implemented, where IR is participating as a partner in implementation.

Strategic importance of the proposed rail connector Bhiwadi is connected to the National Highway (NH-8) by a connector from Daruhera (at a distance of 10 km), a major centre for industrial development in Haryana. On the east, Bhiwadi is connected by NH-2 to Palwal through a State Highway at a distance of approximately 50 km. Palwal falls on the main Delhi-Mumbai broad gauge line. Thus Bhiwadi is very strategically located between two important arteries of north India, and is well positioned to take advantage of these connectors (see exhibit overleaf).

Currently, goods movement out of Bhiwadi is entirely carried out using road transport. However, all the proposed development will be stymied unless a large scale goods movement artery that offers fast and efficient connectivity is provided, which is possible only through rail based connectivity.

Proposed Rail Link between Rewari and Bhiwadi The proposed project is also in line with the NCR Plan, which aims to develop the sub-regions of NCR, and to facilitate speedy movement of goods and people through the proposed development of ring railway connecting all the priority towns of NCR. Bhiwadi along with Rewari (to its west) and Palwal (to its east) are designated priority towns as per the NCR Plan, and therefore, rail connectivity is crucial for the development of the towns of NCR.

Project Implementation The project could be implemented on a commercial format. Such a format would enable appropriate state agencies to participate with private sector investors, with whom an exclusive implementation institution would be formed. This special purpose vehicle would then be responsible for the execution of the project, in which the private

sector partner shall have the majority stake (51 % and above), with the remaining coming from GoR, Government of Haryana (GoH), and IR. PDCOR Limited could partner with GoR in developing this project on a commercial format.

Commercial implementation of the project on a BOT format requires that a detailed techno-commercial study for the project be carried out. The project documentation would in fact form the basis of the project to be financed on a "Project Recourse" basis. The development phase for the project could include the following: Preferred option study Detailed feasibility study Project structuring & contracting documentation Management of bidding process and selection of private sector partner

As part of the project development activities, a number of studies such as demand estimates, engineering investigations, socio-economic studies, environmental and social assessment and legal review would be required to be undertaken in order to position the project for private sector participation. This would involve the following: Drafting the Terms of Reference for detailed development studies Appointment and management of study consultants Finalisation of project configuration and implementation format Contract documentation Setting up implementation structure Bid process, evaluation and award Financial closure activities

Project Development Cost Project development expenses for developing the rail link between Rewari and Bhiwadi are estimated overleaf:

Project Background Rajasthan has a large number of important industrial, ceramic, fertilizers, ferrous and non-ferrous metal mineral deposits. Some key facts that highlight the contribution of Rajasthan to Indias mineral production are: 90% of Indias marble production 70% of Indias sandstone production 70% of Indias flaggy limestone (Kotahstone) production 30% of total value of minor minerals in India 99% of zinc concentrates and 80% of lead concentrates production in India.

Jaisalmer is one of the most important mineral rich regions in Rajasthan. The district has good production of limestone, ball clay, dolomite, gypsum, ochres, siliceous earth, brick earth, etc. The production and sale value of some key minerals in Jaisalmer is presented in the exhibit below.

Jaisalmer is the only region in the state where SMS or steel grade limestone is produced. Extensive deposits of steel grade limestone have been located near village Sanu in Jaisalmer district where total reserves of over 550 million tonnes have so far been proved. This is the most important source of steel grade limestone available in the country for supply to various steel plants.

Sanu is considered as the best available indigenous source of law Silica Limestone for Steel making without undue damage to the desert ecology. RSMML is mining low silica Limestone, a special grade Limestone called Steel Melting Shop (SMS) Limestone from Sanu mines. The mining area is a desolate place in the heart of Great Indian Desert with extreme climatic conditions. SMS grade limestone is then supplied to various steel plants including those of the Steel Authority of India Ltd.

The railway link is available only till Jaisalmer, whereas Sanu mines are located about 60 km from Jaisalmer. Close to 50 lakh tonnes of steel grade limestone is presently being transported by trucks till Jaisalmer and sent further to steel plants across the country. Limestone is being transported in bulk by rail to the five steel plants at Adityapur, Bhilai, Bokaro, Rourkela and Durgapur. It is also going in bulk to Surat to the cement plant of Essar by road because currently there is no broad gauge track from Jaisalmer to Surat.

RSMDC (now RSMML) and RSMML both have mining contracts from Jaisalmer and both supply to SAIL and Tata Steel. The freight for the transportation of limestone is paid by SAIL and Tata Steel whereas the state mining undertakings only act as suppliers and loaders of limestone.

Transporting limestone by rail would result in considerable savings in cost compared to road transport. This would benefit the domestic

limestone and cement industry, as currently import of steel grade limestone is cheaper.

Therefore it is proposed to construct a new railway line from Jaisalmer to Sanu. The total length of the proposed railway line is approximately 56 km. This railway line would assist in linking the steel grade limestone deposits with the main railway head at Jaisalmer and thus be transported to major steel plants in eastern India. The limeyield of Jaisalmer limestone is the highest with only around 2-3% losses as compared to even imported limestone which has 14-15% losses in the oxidation process.

Further, based on discussions with RSMML and the mining department, it has been estimated that there is potential for setting-up couple of major cement plants in Sanu area of Jaisalmer district of Rajasthan to make use of fines/rejects generated during the production of Low Silica Limestone aggregates of specified sizes.

The state should actively seek discussions with railways in setting-up the railway line. Also the government should approach major steel plants in terms of estimating their demand and transport price for steel grade limestone. The project could be constructed on a BOT basis with RSMML and SAIL being major stakeholders.

Development of Filmcity in Rajasthan

Page 2

Background Cinema has been one of the most important audio-visual forms of communication. Rajasthan, with its rich heritage, offers colourful and picturesque locales and backgrounds for the film industry to develop in the state. There is tremendous scope to develop a filmcity in the state, given that Rajasthan would be well placed to offer various options for development of sets, which could recreate various experiences such as rural villages, village haats, palaces, forts, lakes, etc. These would tap the rich and colourful heritage of the state, the way of living of its people, etc.

Digital content development is emerging as one of the fastest growing service segments in the global IT enabled services industry. It caters to the needs of web site management, developing animated movies, production of content for new media such as compact disk, digital versatile disk and products of convergent technologies such as Internet enabled TV, etc.

The areas that a production house can concentrate on are 2D & 3D animation/modelling and using Motion Capture Technology, special effects (morphing, colour correction, blue screen, compositing), editing (linear and non linear), post-production film scanning recording. One of the key catalysts in this segment of the market is the availability of bandwidth, studio capable of integrating various elements such as graphics, images, animation, sound, and most importantly, the availability of programming talent.

The advancement of digital technologies is revolutionising the animation industry. Presently, India corners a mere 0.1 per cent of the $30 billion global revenues generated by the animated movie sector. However, the animation industry has immense potential for the Indian market. Given that the Philippines, China and South Korea dominate the global market with an 80% share, there is a vast market to be tapped.

Given the scope for digital technologies as mentioned above, and given the rich heritage and beautiful architecture of Rajasthan, the state is well placed to capitalise on this opportunity. This would also give a boost to the development of the IT sector in the state. Project Concept It is suggested therefore that a designated area could be set up as a comprehensive and professionally planned film production centre or filmcity to promote development of Hindi and Rajasthani movies and television productions.

This would be in the form of a world-class film studio complex, which would have all the requisite infrastructure required for film shooting and developing, including the entire range of film pre-production, production and post-production facilities and services. The filmcity could potentially include the following:

Production Facilities: State-of-the-art studios, i.e. shooting stages, of various sizes (some with readymade sets and others free to create sets of own choice) with the most sophisticated world-class equipment to cater to production of any magnitude Special (including outdoor) sets, which recreate different experiences (such as for instance recreated villages, village haats, gardens, lakes, hills, railway stations, airports, jail for action scenes, courtroom, swimming pools, etc.) Set-creation workshops with all facilities and materials (such as wood, plaster-of-paris, metal, etc.), for recreating different styles of sets, and also for improvisation of ready-made sets and backlots Hi-tech laboratories, with production facilities for sound, lighting, editing, animation, dubbing, etc. Production equipment such as cameras, special lenses, filters, Betacam, Digibeta, studio cameras, studio monitors, and a full range of other video and lighting equipment and accessories

Separately designed office complex for the production team. This complex would have state-of-the-art communication facilities and other infrastructure

Conferencing facilities including conference rooms, state-of-theart presentation systems, tele-conferencing facilities, and advanced communication support systems

Scope for creative theme parties against various backdrops

The filmcity could be set up at any of the major cities of Rajasthan (such as for instance Jaipur or Jodhpur, etc.), which offer scope for being developed as centres for film-making.

A detailed study to develop the project concept further would need to be undertaken, to also firm up the location for the filmcity. The concept would require government support for implementation, which could be through an equity stake in the form of land or by giving land on longterm lease.

Project Concept Note On Gas Link for Bhiwadi

Project Concept Note: Ma-10

Gas Link for Bhiwadi

Page 2

Project Background

Natural gas is a combustible, gaseous mixture of simple hydrocarbon compounds that is usually found in deep underground reservoirs formed by porous rock. In terms of end user industries, the fertiliser sector consumes about 36% of the total gas supply whereas power sector consumes about 37%. The remaining consumption is accounted for by other sectors like sponge iron, etc.

In Rajasthan, gas infrastructure has primarily been set-up by GAIL (India) Ltd. It is also proposed to create a gas grid in Rajasthan for facilitating the supply of fuel for industrial and economic development in the state. The gas grid would be a critical infrastructure for the development of the gas industry and would form the backbone of the gas industry that would develop in near future. Exhibit below depicts the existing gas pipeline infrastructure in Rajasthan.

Rajasthan Infrastructure Agenda 2025

Project Concept Note: Ma-10

Gas Link for Bhiwadi

Page 3

GAIL currently has two major pipelines passing through Rajasthan. The first pipeline is the HBJ pipeline that crosses the districts of Kota, Baran, Dhaulpur and Bharatpur in Rajasthan and supplies gas to major fertiliser and power units located in these districts. HBJ has a handling capacity of 33.4 MMSCMD. There is an additional pipeline from Bijaipur (Madhya Pradesh) of 175 km length that supplies gas to NTPC Anta in Baran and Chambal Fertilisers in Kota. The total HBJ network within Rajasthan is 232 km.

The second major pipeline is the Jamnagar Loni pipeline that transports LPG. GAIL operates 600 km of this pipeline in Rajasthan, the total pipeline length being 1274 km. The company supplies 0.4 MMTPA of LPG to four bottling plants of IOCL, HPCL and BPCL at Ajmer and Jaipur. The pipeline passes through the districts of Sirohi, Pali, Ajmer, Jaipur and Alwar and has booster stations at Abu Road, Ajmer and Jaipur. GAIL also has a pipeline of 67 km length, from Tanot to Ramgarh thermal power plant in Jaisalmer. The total involvement of GAIL in Rajasthan is presented in Exhibit below.

Gas Link to Bhiwadi Bhiwadi is located in Alwar district, at a distance of about 70 km from Delhi, on the Delhi-Jaipur National Highway-8. Bhiwadi has grown as an industrial area town since 1976-77, when it was established with the assistance of Rajasthan State Industrial and Investment Corporation Ltd. (RIICO). Bhiwadi is part of the National Capital Region (NCR), which comprises the region around and including Delhi, and covers parts of the states of Haryana, Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh. Within the NCR, Bhiwadi plays an important role in the

Rajasthan Infrastructure Agenda 2025

Project Concept Note: Ma-10

Gas Link for Bhiwadi

Page 4

economic development of Rajasthan as well as in decongesting Delhi and Gurgaon.

RIICO has developed Bhiwadi in phases, and at present there are about 1100 small and medium sized units comprising of automobiles, chemicals, paints, drugs, pharmaceuticals and food products. The main industrial areas within the Bhiwadi regions consist of Bhiwadi town, Kushkhera and Chopanki. The Bhiwadi industrial area is strategically located in the NCR region and its proximity to the large markets of the northern region makes it an ideal location for attracting industrial investments. In the recent past there has been considerable interest shown by investors in investing in the region.

A large number of initiatives have been planned and developed for the Bhiwadi region. These include the following:

Development of a multi-modal logistics centre (Dry Port) in Bhiwadi region Export Promotion Industrial Park at Tapukra Special Economic Zone at Chopanki area Integrated Utility Management of Bhiwadi

In light of the above facts it is proposed to Establish a Gas Link to Bhiwadi. The gas link would be created by constructing an additional spur line from HBJ for industrial units in Bhiwadi. This gas link would provide natural gas as fuel and spur further economic activity in the region. Further, gas is a cheaper and greener fuel as compared to other conventional energy sources and with rich deposits estimated in Rajasthan, its supply is guaranteed for next couple of decades.

Exhibit below depicts the HBJ infrastructure in India.

Rajasthan Infrastructure Agenda 2025

Project Concept Note: Ma-10

Gas Link for Bhiwadi

Page 5

As is evident, spur lines from HBJ have been created to meet industrial demand for Agra, Mathura and Faridabad. Further, other spur lines have also been created for feeding Maruti in Gurgaon and other units in NCR region. Thus, creating the gas link from HBJ to Bhiwadi would make the industries in this region competitive and at par with other industrial units in the NCR region. The potential drivers for gas demand in Bhiwadi are: Relative economics of gas based power generation Potential demand by residential and commercial sectors Gas use in transport sector.

The state should initiate discussions with GAIL in terms of creating a spur line for Bhiwadi. The government must also prepare a white paper in terms of estimating the end user demand and future consumption of gas in Bhiwadi region.
