Focus sectors identified based on Country s and region s prima facie strength for model industrial park at Mallavalli which are as follows: Table 3-1: Focus Sectors for Investment Envisaged in the proposed industrial park S. No Target sector list 1 Engineering / Manufacturing Automobiles and Auto components Electronic and Telecom Hardware: Components and equipment Engineering Goods: Fabricated metal products, Industrial machinery and process control equipment, Electrical machinery, consumer durables, light engineering and metal processing Non-conventional energy products-wind, solar, Hydro, Bio mass Defense and Aerospace products and strategic electronics Metallurgical: Basic Ferrous and non -ferrous metal products with capacity restrictions Shipping Ancillaries 2 Micro, Small and Medium Enterprise 3 Food and Agro processing: Edible oil, Dairy, fruit and Vegetable processing, flowers, Grain mill products, Sea Food and Meat Processing, etc. Textiles: spinning mills, cotton and manmade fabrics and apparels; technical textiles, except Rayon Plastic Products including blow molding, extrusion and injection molded parts Leather Goods Timber /Wood Products Furniture, sports goods, wood flooring etc. Handicrafts mainly textile based Gem and Jewellery including diamond cutting and jewellery Basic Chemicals including Organic, Inorganic and chlor Alkali Nonmetallic Mineral products Rubber products including Tires and tubes, hoses, auto components etc. Paper, plastic products FMCG including Beverages, personal care, Household care etc. Chemicals and Allied Chemicals including Agro chemicals, Marine chemicals, Specialty chemicals, Paints, Dyes and pigments, Industrial gases etc. 4 Herbal medicines, bio pharmaceuticals 5 Logistics Apart from the industrial zones, central area is planned for open spaces, utility space for one stop centre building, training centre, commercial buildings like bank and ATMs, offices, traders, Shopping, maintenance and repair shops, etc. These facilities will serve as support services as part of Common Facility Centre (CFC) of processing area. Few of these support services will cater to the entire park and hence they are planned and zoned in the central zone of the project providing easy and convenient access to all the industries. Utilities are planned and zoned across the project site. It will include water supply system, sewage network and wastewater treatment facility, waste management facilities, power sub-station and distribution network, fire station and central truck parking. Based on the requirement, these facilities are spread across the project site. 3 Project Introduction/ Background Information Page 4

9 3.4 Need for the Project: Below are some of the factors based on which there is an enormous need of developing the industrial park at this strategic location. The region around the project site is probably the most agriculturally intensive belt of the state. The catchment area accounts for almost 40% of the food grain; 25% of the horticulture; 30% of Poultry and milk; and 58% of the cotton production of the state. The region accounts for almost 30% share of educational institutions and seat intake in Andhra Pradesh. Vijayawada is the nearest city at 40 km which is the main trading centre of South India with well-developed social and urban infrastructure. The area is comparatively more industrially advanced compared to other parts of the state (catchment accounting for 20% share of the Industrial output of the state) and has large number of Engineering, Food processing, Auto components, Pharmaceutical and Textile units around it. The location has the potential to emerge as major multi model logistics hub in the region in future catering to needs of 3 states viz: Andhra Pradesh, Telangana and Chhattisgarh given its strategic location close to upcoming Machilipatnam port, Presence of National Road, Rail network and Airport in the vicinity besides future development of Kolkotta-Vijayawada dedicated freight corridor node close to the site. On the basis of the market analysis, area strengths, competition and case studies of successful various formats of planned industrial infrastructure formats, it has been proposed to have as diverse range of activities in the zone as possible. Most of the successful manufacturing zones in the world/country have diverse product mix and industry concentrations. Sectors have also been evaluated for their overall synergy in the industrial corridors planned in the broader Amravati Capital Region Urban Development Plan. The following considerations have been taken while determining sectors for Mallavalli industrial park. Some allowances have been made to also include some of the low overall scoring areas which otherwise are attractive considering other strategic factors like state focus and its long term economic and employment growth impact Some sub sectors have been combined under broad generic category to mitigate the risk of having too narrowly focused sectors. Sectors like textile & apparels and pharmaceuticals, are high scoring attractive sectors but have not been considered as separate sectors for promotion due to high competition in the catchment. Under MSME category, these sectors were considered in order to provide more diversity of products in the region. Some of the subsectors have been combined together to fall under generic category to mitigate the risk of too narrowly focused areas; for example, sea food, Poultry products and beverages could find place in generic Food and Agro sector; Similarly Automobiles and auto components sector will be treated as part of engineering goods while Strategic electronic included in A&D sector for the purpose of demand assessment calculations. Aerospace & Defense Sector also includes Strategic electronic as key component due to its synergy with the sector and also state s focus on both electronic and Aerospace and defense as thrust area s for development, The presence of BEL in Machilipatnam can also trigger growth of ancillary Strategic Electronic Units in the Proposed Park. The focus in the zone is mostly on manufacturing units but due to the strategic locational advantage of Mallavalli site, Logistics & Warehousing services sector will be of a high priority area in the catchment and has to find place in the Park owing to its proximity to many key proposed infrastructure projects like Dedicated Freight Corridor, East 3 Project Introduction/ Background Information Page 5

10 Economic Corridor (VCIC), High speed Rail and National Water way 4 and proximity to Proposed Machilipatnam Port etc, Plastic based products sector has been considered for inclusion in the final sectors list for Mallavalli Industrial Park even though scoring comparatively less. Plastic based articles will have a high demand in the catchment due to its affinity with high priority areas like Food & agro products, Automobiles, auto components, Electronic and Aerospace sector. Also plastic is receiving state s attention in lieu of Central Government s Plastic Park scheme and is currently much underpenetrated area in the state with production being much less than its actual requirement thus making it attractive for investment. Being a future high growth area and considering stakeholder interest this sector has especially been considered. 3.5 Economic Impact of the Project The economic impact for the park in terms of output, investments and employment and exports is given in Table 3-2 which will be experienced by The total output from the Park is estimated at about Rs. 11,264 Crores when the park will be fully commissioned by The anticipated exports from the park may be approximately Rs. 3,270 Crores per year by accounting for almost 29% of the total output. Table 3-2: Economic Impact of the Mallavalli Industrial Park Sectors Output/YR Investment Direct Exports/Yr (INR Crores) (INR Crores) Employment Engineering /Manufacturing 7,344 1,470 3,060 10,200 Aerospace and Defense 3,600 1,800 1,800 4,500 Logistics & Warehousing ,000 Other non-processing areas ,000 Total 11, ,700 Source: Consultant Analysis The total investment in processing zone is estimated at Rs. 5,120 Crores. The direct employment potential of the park when fully operational will be close to 16,700. Around 2.5 times the direct employment may be in the form of indirect employment in the region. 3.6 Location Advantage/Justification Andhra Pradesh Mallavalli lies in the proposed Andhra Pradesh Capital Region. Andhra Pradesh Capital Region is the metropolitan area covered by Amravati, the new capital city of Andhra Pradesh. The entire region is under the jurisdiction of Andhra Pradesh Capital Region Development Authority, and covers an area of 8, km 2 (3, sq mi) under 58 mandals, of which 29 are in Krishna district and 29 in Guntur district. The capital region covers 18 mandals fully and 11 mandals partially in Guntur district. In Krishna district, it covers 15 mandals fully and 14 mandals partially under the jurisdiction of APCRDA. The state is among top producers of several minerals, Horticulture products, food grains, Cotton, Poultry products, Marine products, Spices and Milk in the country. Andhra Pradesh has a rich labour pool, with large base of skilled labour, making it an ideal destination for knowledge-intensive sectors. The state also has well developed physical infrastructure in the form of large number of Ports, Airports and Railway network. The state is covered by five major rivers ensuring assured availability of water in most parts. The state is well on its way 3 Project Introduction/ Background Information Page 6

11 to become Power surplus with no. of Power plants in pipeline. The Krishna- Godavari Gas finds augurs well for the future energy security of the region. The state is now aggressively promoting industrial development through well-orchestrated campaign and attractive industrial policies and incentives for many thrust areas. The catchment area of 125 km around the proposed site is one of the most well developed regions of the State accounting for almost 30% of the state GDP and offering second highest per capita income after Visakhapatnam. The key success parameters and their level of criticality in determining the success of the industry is given in Table 3-3. Technical R&D is another factor that could help the sector development. Cost of manpower, power, water, land constitutes a major proportion of the manufacturing costs with an estimated 60%-70% of the manufacturing costs. Thus availability of factor inputs like power, water, labour, land etc. at competitive prices is crucial to carry out electronics manufacturing at globally competitive prices.

All taluks have Primary/Sub-Primary Health Centres and Schools. Major hospitals and higher educational facilities are available in Vijayawada. 5 Planning Brief 5.1 Planning Concept Planning for the proposed developments is carried out based on the concept of zoning. Zoning of area for industrial use, utilities, entrance and exit, access roads, other support services, etc. is done based on the following. Synergy with landuse: The existing and proposed land use around project site was considered to propose within the site. In order to reduce the impact on the surrounding settlements, compatible activities are proposed around it. Towards southern boundary of the project site, a canal is passing hence no activities are proposed in the vicinity of them based on the guidelines. Also adequate buffers are left for the existing HT line passing through the site. The site has undulating terrain sloping towards the south and north-east. These topographical aspects were considered for water, wastewater and storm water management. Traffic Management: Already existing roads were taken into consideration while planning and proposing the internal road network. Alternate entry exit is provided for emergency evacuation. 5 Planning Brief Page 12

17 Wind Direction: The predominant wind direction is south-west, which was taken into consideration during the zoning of industries. This aspect has an important role to decide the location for the residential and the industrial areas. Guidelines and local Bylaws: Planning principals and local bylaws are referred for master planning the Industrial Park. Adequate buffers are left for existing surrounding features like canal, settlement, HT line, etc. as per as per GoAP G.O.Ms.No.119. Green buffer are left along the project boundary and between different activities within the park Sustainable Development: Multiple open spaces are provided to serve as lung space in the park. The planning of industrial park is done to have maximum flexibility which is required to adapt to any business scenario. Master plan is flexible to allow for any amalgamation in plotting (size-wise, orientation-wise, etc.) from smaller to larger and visa-versa based on the requirements. Resource Management: Industrial Park is planned with water recycling, waste management, rain water harvesting, use of non-renewable energy, etc. for efficient use of resources. 5.2 Land use Planning The entire development is of Acres is proposed to house various industries under automobiles & engineering goods, aerospace, defence and strategic electronics, Micro, Small and Medium Enterprise cluster and Logistics, warehousing zone along with green space/belt, utilities, roads and commercial area etc., The conceptual master plan of Mallavalli I.P is given as Figure FD Industrial Area The industrial plots for different industrial mix are prepared based on the market and demand assessment study undertaken as part of master planning exercise. The industrial plots are plotted across the central core space with easy access as shown in Figure Planning Brief Page 13

18 Figure 5-1: Industrial Zone Central Zone Apart from the industrial zones, central area is planned for open spaces, space for one stop centre building, training centre, commercial building which shall include space for bank, offices, traders, maintenance and repair shops, etc. These facilities will serve as support services as part of Common Facility Centre (CFC). Few of these support services will cater to the entire park and hence they are planned in the central zone of the project providing easy and convenient access to all the industries as shown in Figure 5-2. The open space will serve as the central breathing space in the overall industrial park. 5 Planning Brief Page 14

19 Figure 5-2: Zoning of Common Facility Centre Utilities Utilities are planned and zoned across the project site. It includes water supply system, sewage network and wastewater treatment facility, solid waste disposal facilities, power substation and distribution network, fire station and parking.

The site is located in the hinterland of the proposed Machilipatnam Port (88 km) Approach Road The major road networks in the vicinity include SH14 (3.7km to the east) and NH16 (10km to the south). At present the NH16 can be reached through SH14 from Mirjapuram and also by Mallavalli Veeravalli Road. The Mallavalli Veeravalli road is 3.5 m wide village road with poor geometrics and is not suitable to handle the heavy industrial movements from the park. 6 Proposed Infrastructure Page 18

23 On review of the existing road network it was felt that a dedicated connectivity to SH14 would be appropriate for the following reasons: Around 120 acres of land may be required for establishing the connectivity to the NH16 which involves huge cost to APIIC. SH14 is located in close proximity and the extent of the acquisition is less compared to connectivity with NH16. Connectivity to SH14 can be developed on a fast track basis. Currently SH14 is being upgraded and will be in a position to the handle the additional traffic anticipated from the proposed industrial park. SH14 connects with NH16 at Hanuman Junction and therefore the traffic bound to North Andhra can travel through SH14 till Hanuman Junction. SH14 also connects the proposed Machilipatnam Port, the gateway port to Mallavalli industrial park Along the existing cart track from SH14 to Project Site Alignment starts from SH14 before the Mirjapuram (V) towards the west along the existing track. Primarily the alignment passes through the cart track (as observed from the Google Earth and site visit). The alignment requires substantial geometric improvements and may warrant additional land. The length of the alignment is approximately 3.7 km. The extent of land required is approximately 40 acres Greenfield Connectivity (from SH14 to Project site) A direct alignment from SH14 to Mallavalli industrial park has been identified (two options). Alignment Option I runs between Mirjapuram and Chinamallavalli Villages and Option 2 runs south of Chinna Mallavalli village. Both the options terminate at SH14 south of Mirjapuram. The length of the alignment is around 3.7 km and is devoid of habitations / settlements. Out of the two alignment options, Alignment Option 2 is preferred in terms of functionality and also considering the fact that the existing track adjacent to the alignment may be helpful in minimising the LA to a certain extent Preferred Alignment The Preferred alignment is as shown in figure below. The total length of the alignment is 3.7km with 45m RoW having four lane divided carriageway. The extent of land required is around 40 acres. Figure 6-1 shows the proposed preferred alignment. 6 Proposed Infrastructure Page 19

Site is located approximately 40 km (aerial distance) from Krishna River. Eluru canal is passing at a distance of 15km on the south of project site, and Polavaram canal is passing at a distance of 4.5km. The availability of water in these canals is for few months only. From Krishna River, Nuzvid Municipality is receiving water under Nuzvid Municipal water supply project. This municipality has excess water which can support the demand of this industrial park. A preliminary study has been made on deriving possible tapping points from where water can be drawn to the site. After series of discussions, Nuzvidu municipal authorities have given assurance to spare 7 MLD of raw water to the development of the project site. The tapping point will be at Jakkampudi by introducing the intermediate pumping station. In connection to this the necessary infrastructure has to be developed at the IPS (Jakkampudi) such as additional sump & pump house, pump sets, transformer, generator and staff quarters and replacement of pump sets, generators and transformers at intake well at Gollapudi Power Supply The total power demand for proposed project is estimated as 52.1 mva. It is proposed to have captive 220/132 KV substation within the industrial park from nearby substation at Nuzvid, transmission line will be taken till the proposed substations at site. Substation will be developed for 57 mva demand to cater to the surrounding industrial development of APIIC. Energy efficient street lighting system will be designed in the industrial park. 6 Proposed Infrastructure Page 20

25 6.2.3 Wastewater Management The industrial and domestic wastewater generation is estimated to be 3.51 MLD and 0.7 MLD respectively. Wastewater generation from the area is calculated based on similar industrial park operating/planned elsewhere in the country and guidelines provided by government agencies. The sewerage network system would be designed for the expected sewage flows from industries and other areas. Sewage flow from a plot shall be primarily based on the estimated population for the plot and per capita sewage generation rate as per the CPHEEO manual/ National Building Code norms/ as per Development Plan. Common Effluent Treatment Plant (integrated) of capacity ~4.5 MLD will be developed in the industrial park Social Infrastructure Few basic allied infrastructures are proposed as part of the CFC area. These facilities shall include commercial space for restaurant, canteen, club, ATM, fuel station, etc. required for the people. 7 Rehabilitation and Resettlement Plan There are no settlements within the boundary of the proposed site. Hence no R&R. 8 Project Schedule and Cost Estimates The project cost is estimated as Rs. 406 Crores. The project development activities will be completed within 36 months after obtaining necessary clearances from statutory authorities. 9 Analysis of Proposal Project site faces no significant environmental or social issues. Master Plan for the project has been conceptualised in such a manner so as to reduce environmental impacts of the project on the surrounding settlements. The project shall bring in major investments to the region covering a wide range of sectors connectivity, industry, social infrastructure. The project when fully operational also brings in direct employment potential of about 16,700 and indirect employment of 41,750, thereby opening up employment opportunities for the youth in the catchment region. Additionally, the induced development due to the proposed Model Industrial Park at Mallavalli, is definitely bound to bring in more benefits to the local population and the overall region. The proposed project will therefore immensely add to the social economic value of the region. 7 Rehabilitation and Resettlement Plan Page 21
