6 Introduction: The SEIP Project Sustainable and Environment-friendly Industrial Production SEIP is a joint project of the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEFCC) and the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH within the framework of Indo-German Development Cooperation. The objective of the SEIP project is to enable Indian public and private stakeholders to jointly implement strategies for efficient and environment- friendly industrial development. The project aims at mitigating environmental problems caused by industrial production focusing on industrial wastewater and solid waste management. During the project duration, technical solutions as well as business and management models to reduce acute environmental pollution and to improve resource efficiency in industrial production are piloted in five Indian industrial estates. Visible positive direct impacts of the solutions showcased are to improve conditions directly at the sites, and to unfold a strong signal effect leading to the replication and upscaling of solutions in industrial parks throughout India. Project activities focus on wastewater conveyance systems, the treatment, recycling and reuse of wastewater, waste management as well as the management and planning practices in the industrial areas. Solutions are piloted in 5 selected industrial areas located in the states of Delhi, Gujarat and Uttarakhand. Further cross-cutting activities, such as the development of a market-driven training system for technicians and operators of effluent treatment plants, the development of industry-wide environmental standards, the work on a green rating system for industrial areas, and the setting up of a technology platform offering international exchange of best practice technologies target the improvement of enabling framework conditions for sustainable industrial production in India. Objective: The SEIP project has focus on efficient, and environment and climate-friendly industrial development. The objective of the project is: Private and public stakeholders jointly implement strategies for efficient, and environmental and climate-friendly industrial development. Duration: The project has a duration of 3 years from March 2015 to February The project is being extended by one year to February Budget: The total budget available for the duration of the project is 6.5 million EUR. Project Sites: The project has its focus in selected sites at the Gujarat Industrial Development Corporation s (GIDC) Industrial Estate at Vapi (Gujarat), Delhi Industrial Infrastructure Development Corporation s (DSIIDC) industrial areas at Patparganj, Mayapuri and Lawrence Road (Delhi), and the Integrated Industrial Estate State Industrial Infrastructure Development Corporation of Uttarakhand Ltd. (SIIDCUL) in Haridwar (Uttarakhand). Partners: The Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEFCC), Government of India and GIZ are the main project partners. An Implementation Agreement has been signed between MoEFCC and GIZ 1

7 on 16th June The Central Pollution Control Board, as a technical arm of MoEFCC, plays an important role. Approach: The SEIP project works on selected environmental problems of national importance, with the main thematic focus on industrial wastewater and solid waste management. The project aims to showcase solutions on how acute environmental pollution can be reduced and how resource efficiency in industrial production can be improved. Project outputs are grouped into 3 areas: Output A: Environmentally Oriented Modernisation of Industrial Areas (showcasing solutions), Output B: Establishing appropriate framework conditions at the national and state levels, and Output C: Knowledge management and dissemination. To accomplish these outputs, various activities are being taken up at the national level as well project site level. The project activities are focused on wastewater conveyance, treatment, recycle/reuse, waste management, monitoring, process modification in individual industries etc. These will be complemented by training and skills development, and setting up of a technology platform. At the national and state level, the project supports the creation of an enabling framework by suggesting measures for new policies, plans and support programmes to prevent and reduce pollution and improve resource efficiency in industrial zones. Further, the project will create practical examples of management and planning for sustainable industrial zones supporting women. The project will include private stakeholders such as industry associations, operators of industrial sites and companies, and relevant entities in the states and the centre. The public and private sectors will be effectively engaged at various stages of the project. Expected Results of SEIP Project: The SEIP project will demonstrate solutions resulting in positive impacts and improved environmental conditions at the selected sites. The successful cases will serve as models that can subsequently be taken up on much larger scales. The key indicators for measuring the results are: Decrease in pollution by an average of 20 percent in the surroundings of three industrial sites. Launch of development programmes and promotional guidelines that aim at increasing resource efficiency and reducing pollution in selected states. Launch of two additional compulsory central government policies, plans and/or programmes, and measures to prevent and reduce pollution as well as improve resource efficiency in industrial zones. Adoption of best practices through technology and management methods for an efficient, environment- and climate-friendly industrial development in 10 industrial zones. Provision of two additional practical examples regarding management and planning methods of sustainable industrial zones that support women. The progress of activities and results achieved for the month of November 2017 is given in the present report. 2

11 1 SEIP Project Site Delhi 1.1 Planning of a New CETP for Patparganj Industrial Area Development of a management plan for implementation of a new CETP at Patparganj IA The activity aims at proposing a feasible solution for installing a CETP at Patparganj IA so as to treat the nearly 1.5 MLD of wastewater generated in the industrial area to the required standards, as well as to recycle and reuse to treated wastewater to the extent possible. There are seven electroplating units (as identified in the PFEA directory 2013) in Patparganj IA generating seriously polluting effluent as per DPCC report despite having individual ETPs installed. There are further a set of electroplating companies which are not associated with PFEA, and a few service stations causing serious water pollution according to PFEA. The fact that there is currently no CETP at Patparganj IA is a major concern for the environment and businesses operating there. Data collection and problem identification processes for the planning of a new CETP, which were initiated in October 2016, were completed in April In May 2017, the German consultants of GIZ, Hydroplan identified several options for setting up a new CETP at Patparganj. Hydroplan calculated the wastewater volume discharged, collected samples from two pumping stations for analysis in order to plan for an appropriate treatment process. In August 2017, Hydroplan met with representatives of the Patparganj IA and DSIIDC in order to discuss various options for setting up the new CETP. This included the finalization of the location of the CETP at Patparganj IA. GIZ is currently exploring funding options for setting up the CETP. MoEFCC under the Government of India, the Department of Industries under the Government of NCT Delhi, and the Small Industries Development Bank of India (SIDBI) have finance options available for sustainable development initiatives particularly for the development of CETPs. GIZ Delhi team had a discussion with CE, DSIIDC on 24 th November, 2017 where he asked for the budget requirement for the proposed CETP and also mentioned about fund availability with DSIIDC for improvement of Patparganj IA. In January 2018, Hydroplan submitted a draft schematic design along with tentative budget requirements to set up a new CETP in Patparganj IA. German consultant from Hydroplan visited India during the third week of February along with their national consultant. They had meetings with GIZ and stakeholders. They presented their solution in those meeting. GIZ asked for small changes. The final reports are expected by 28 th February. 6

Information on national and international technology/service providers, funding mechanisms for implementation through various agencies based on the preliminary identification reports, and detailed solutions will form a part of it. Detailed discussions on several options of reuse/recycle took place with relevant IA stakeholders. Technical inputs were provided by Hydroplan. The options that have been discussed are: o Collection of treated wastewater in a holding pond to function as an artificial recharge structure in Patparganj IA o Use of treated wastewater in non-potable or low-end applications such as toilet flushing, gardening, floor washing in the IAs and industrial units of Patparganj, Mayapuri and Lawrence Road o Use of treated wastewater in high-end applications, such as replacement of fresh water with further treated wastewater in quality sensitive industrial applications (e.g. cooling/boiler water make up and vehicle/equipment washing) in the IAs and industrial units of Patparganj, Mayapuri and Lawrence Road. GIZ Delhi team had a discussion with CE, DSIIDC on 24 th November 2017 and updated him about SEIP status. On discussion about recycle reuse of treated wastewater he informed DSI- IDC will work on the water supply line in Patparganj IA. If required, another line for treated water supply for reuse can be added. Discussion under progress. In the meeting on 11 th January, between Patparganj F.I.E Entrepreneurs Association, DSIIDC and GIZ, the former confirmed their willingness to use the treated water from the proposed CETP in Patparganj IA. It was decided that GIZ will consider this in the solution reports regarding the conveyance system. Discussions are in progress on feasibility of the options suggested with the IAs through facilitation team meetings. 13

19 1.9 Facilitation Teams: Environment Drive The industrial associations foster voluntary action and thereby achieves waste management Solid waste management is a major concern within Patparganj IA. The industrial association (PFEA) has assigned the waste management task to a private body which is responsible for collection, storage, transportation and disposal of waste. The East Delhi Municipal Corporation collects the waste once in a week through waste collection vehicles from the estate and then dumps it into the dumping grounds of Ghazipur. For lack of designated waste disposal facility within the industrial estate, the waste often dumped in the open areas like vacant plots, parking lots, etc. PFEA has started door to door waste collection system. Patparganj IA is within a close vicinity to ISBT, Anand Vihar. As per PFEA, ISBT causes too much traffic within the area causing serious air pollution within the Patparganj IA. Also, the toxic gases generated in the Ghazipur Drain reacts with the surfaces of electronic appliances in the surroundings and damages them. The buffer zone at one of the edge of the Patparganj IA is still lying under-developed which would have helped in bringing down the effect of air pollution within the industrial area and its surroundings. PFEA is keen to improve the aesthetics and hygiene of the industrial areas and hence have started taking steps towards it. Summary of the progress so far: PFEA conducted a cleanliness drive during October 2016: about 300 t of garbage was removed from the IA. PFEA conducted a plantation drive from June to September 2016 with the support of DSIIDC and GIZ. This resulted in transformation of park once lying as a junkyard into a green lung space for the industrial estate. GIZ met with CE, DSIIDC to discuss pending decisions from DSIIDC. CE directed concerned SE, DSIIDC to identify at least two spots in Patparganj IA where public toilets can be installed. He also informed GIZ that DSIIDC already started working on parking lots in front Udyog Sadan in Patparganj IA. GIZ organised a small meeting with GIZ IGEN team to discuss on the feasibility of installation of solar panels on Mr. Maheswari s rooftop as a pilot case. Discussion is under process. GIZ informed PFEA (23rd May) that DSIIDC is willing to hand over other parking plots to PFEA for development. PFEA informed both GIZ and DSIIDC due to poor economic condition of the industries they will not be able to take up the project. They requested DSIIDC to look into the matter. DSIIDC celebrated World Environment Day along with GIZ, Confederation of CETP Society, Mayapuri CETP Society and Naraina CETP Society. A small talk on importance of environment drive followed by plantation drive was conducted at Naraina CETP premises. Chief Engineer DSIIDC conducted a site visit along with his team and GIZ and identified site for toilet construction in Patparganj Industrial Area. Cleaning up of a proposed new Parking lot in front of Udyog Sadan was done by DSIIDC. Possibility of conducting an environment improvement drive with Lawrence Road industrialists of whom a few showed their interest is under discussion. Proposals were discussed with Lawrence Road industrialists and DSIIDC. 14

20 PFEA organised a clean-up drive in their IA from Dashera to Diwali and removed almost 800 tons of garbage from the roads as well as open spaces and transported it to the designated landfill site. PFEA, along with a clean-up movement will organise a desilting programme in the conveyance system in Patparganj IA along with DSIIDC to clean up the conveyance system within the IA. MD DSIIDC asked GIZ to prepare a list of actions to make Patparganj Industrial Area as a model industrial area. GIZ came up with list of measures based on the proposed sustainability standard and stakeholder feedbacks, which includes a number of environment drives. GIZ will submit this to MD DSIIDC by this month end for DSIIDC s approval. 2 SEIP Project Site Haridwar 2.1 CETP Upgradation and Zero-Liquid-Discharge (ZLD) Development of a management plan for CETP upgradation to achieve ZLD The objective is to find measures to modernize the operation of the CETP at SIIDCUL s IIE Haridwar.

Currently, the sludge is disposed on a landfill in Vapi. The high moisture content of the sludge makes its disposal problematic. Site visits have found that the sludge is being de-watered mechanically. This partially dried sludge is then packed in a bag and pet dried in sludge drying beds. However, this procedure is not sufficient to dry the large quantity of sludge and is further a very time-consuming activity. This activity thus aims at finding a sustainable solution for the sewage sludge disposal so as to reduce pollution caused by it. GIZ visited the CETP and collected data, such as quantity, characteristics after different stages of treatment, and chemical dosing patterns. A German consultancy (Aqua Consult) visited the site during 6-10th March 2017 and met with the CEO, VGEL and other employees at the CETP to explore the sludge generation and drying mechanism of the CETP as well as its disposal process. Aqua Consult submitted a report proposing various technologies that can be used for sludge dewatering. The report was shared with VGEL. VGEL raised further questions regarding standard procedures (SOP) for setting up of a pilot plant which were forwarded to Aqua Consult. Aqua Consult has submitted the final report with SOP for pilot plant. GIZ SEIP team prepared a cost comparison for the report submitted by Aqua Consult and provided to VGEL (CETP operator) for an action plan to implement the solution. VGEL was in favour of the options of Solar Drying and Sun Drying. After review by VGEL, the Implementation Plan for Sludge Moisture reduction was submitted to GIDC and VGEL in September

25 The final report on sludge moisture reduction was reviewed by GIDC. In the meeting of GIZ at GIDC on 25 th September, it was decided that GIDC would discuss this priority issue with VGEL for implementation of solutions. Meeting with GIDC took place on 27 th November 2017 to provide a status update. GIDC assured to take actions on prompt basis according to the SEIP s project timeline. Gujarat Cleaner Production Centre (GCPC) has been awarded a co-ordination consultancy by GIZ. GCPC conducted the 1 st introductory meeting with GIDC officials in December VGEL received the approval from their Technical Committee and Executive Committee for the open sun drying technology for sludge moisture reduction as per German Expert s recommendation. VGEL initiated open sun drying trials at CETP, Vapi. The 1st trail is completed and results are awaited. Shade prepared with exhaust fan Shade prepared with exhaust fan Sludge before drying Sludge after drying Development of a management plan for the improvement in storm water management The storm water drainage network at GIDC Vapi is nearly 25 years old and has been undergoing several modifications over the time. It has, however, not been designed to cater to the needs of an industrial area. In some areas the network consists of pipes, whereas open drains are used in others. The inadequateness and bad state of the system as well as waste dumps choking the system lead to overflow and clogging. The storm water lines are not well maintained and many lids at junction points are broken. 20

26 During monsoon season the situation is aggravated since some areas are frequently flooded due to the lack of a proper drainage system. This network is of utmost importance since it carries pollutants through the runoff and discharges into the River Damanganga. Also, several industries discharge their wastewater into the storm water drains. Under this activity, the storm water drainage systems is mapped in order to identify the stretches and locations which are in need of maintenance or retrofitting. The aim of this activity is to provide suggestions and concepts for improving the entire storm water drainage system. Available data was gathered and a GIS map of all phases, roads, storm water, drainage and effluent networks was prepared. Together with VIA, it was decided to improve the storm water drainage system of Phase IV area of the Vapi GIDC Estate. GIZ performed a preliminary survey based on the GIS mapping of the storm water network and roads to identify problems related to clogging, spillages, contamination etc. German consultancy (Vössing GmbH) collected data with the support of GIZ and GIDC officials. GIZ identified some effluent penetration into Bill Khadi (river) from the storm water drains near Phase 3-4 as well as presence of new waste dumps. Vössing GmbH submitted a pre-visit report. Experts from Vössing GmbH visited Vapi from 24th-28th of March 2017 to discuss current problems and to share proposed concepts. They also visited Bill Khadi in Phase IV along with GIZ and local GIDC officials. Proposed concepts and solutions by the German experts for the identified problems were presented to the Executive Engineer, Notified Area Authority, Vapi. Vössing GmbH submitted the report on storm water drainage system presenting 2 alternatives for the improvement including estimations of both alternatives. The final report on the storm water drainage system was submitted to local officials of GIDC/NAA. Further, the findings were presented to the Executive Engineer of NAA on 21 st July The report on Implementation Aplan for Storm Water Management was submitted to GIDC Head office in September GIDC had provided formats for RFP (Request for Proposal) and for tender documents. GIZ SEIP Vapi drafted and resubmitted documents for tendering the process of engaging a consultant to conduct feasibility study for storm water management in GIDC, in October The tender documents to engage a consultant by GIDC for field surveys and designing for implementation of storm water management were finalised by GIDC and GIZ SEIP Vapi. In a meeting, held with GIDC on 27 th November 2017, GIDC inquired about the possibility to hire an international expert to do the designing and detailing work. GIZ is in process to get proposal from a German agency. GIDC issued an internal letter to a local Superintending Engineer, Surat, to start the procedure for hiring M/S Dharamsingh Desai Institute of Technology, Nadiad, Gujarat as a consultant for the stormwater management system design. 21

39 3 SEIP Project Site Vapi 3.1 Improvements of Effluent Treatment Plants (ETPs) of Individual Industries There are more than 1500 industries from various sectors, such as chemical, paper, dye, drug and pharmaceutical, pesticide, fertilizer, electroplating, etc., located at GIDC. Most of these companies are members of the CETP of Vapi which has a capacity of 55 MLD. Due to the large volume and diversity of wastewater, the treatment of the effluent at the CETP, however, is an expensive and non-viable solution. Hence, effluent parameters should be reduced at their source, i.e. at the company itself, in order to reduce CETP inlet parameters and pollution load at the inlet of the CETP. The CETP is experiencing difficulties in treating effluent parameters such as Colour, COD, BOD, TDS, TSS, Ammonical Nitrogen, Phenol, etc. and is at the borderline of meeting the pollution board compliance. The CETP treated effluent is directly discharged to the Daman Ganga River. This activity aims at improving the performance of 10 ETPs. Successfully implemented measures are subsequently to be upscaled to 30 ETPs. A German expert (GOPA Infra) visited Vapi from 6th to 10th of February 2017 and developed a questionnaire to be circulated to the listed companies. GOPA Infra submitted the draft report containing generalized solutions. Dr. Ulrich Schmitz from GOPA Infra visited companies from 2nd to 11th of May During the visits, he provided some instant on-site solutions for wastewater treatment to the industries. These solutions will also be part of the report. On 11th of May 2017, the basic observations regarding wastewater treatment witnessed during Dr. Schmitz s visits were presented in a workshop. Draft feasibility report from Dr. Ulrich was submitted and reviewed. Comments were communicated to Dr. Ulrich. The final report was submitted to companies which were visited by GOPA Infra. Action plan for implementation of solutions is in preparation in coordination with companies. GIZ SEIP Cell has started to approach companies to discuss the improvement measures suggested by the GOPA Infra. Faze Three Ltd. has witnessed a significant improvement in suspended solids removal in their ETP. They have upgraded their Primary and Secondary Clarifier Capacity to achieve the improvement measure. The improvement will led to enhance the performance for the whole ETP. The success story is prepared and under approval by Faze Three Ltd. and GIDC. The success stories for Faze Three Ltd. And Sterling Colours and Pigments have been documented and published. An improvement in one of the textile processing units, Daniel Fashion Processors, has been identified. The improvement will be documented and a success story will be published till the end of February An improvement in Tertiary treatment of Sterling colours and pigments have been identified and the draft success story has been submitted for review. 34

40 Awaiting to publish the success stories. 3.2 Resource Efficiency and Cleaner Production in Individual Industries Resource efficiency and cleaner production measures (RECP) through detailed assessment in ten (10) companies GIDC in Vapi is the base of some severely polluting industries producing thousands of litres of wastewater per day. The reduction of water pollution and the improvement of the way industrial effluent is disposed is a great area of concern. Many companies operate inefficiently and hence bear a significant potential for environmental improvement. This objective of this activity is to implement measures that will lead to either a reduction in pollution or an increase in resource efficiency thereby improving the environmental improvements of a company and demonstrating the effectiveness of the measure at hand. The first step is the assessment for the scope of process optimisation and improvements in resource efficiency (materials, water, energy) before detailing and implementing the solutions suggested. Subsequently, the replication of successful solutions is to be enabled in other industries/industrial areas. Questionnaire developed together with representatives of industries, government body representatives (GIDC/GPCB) and members of industrial associations in order to take inventory of industries. The final questionnaire was circulated amongst industries. German consultancy (Adelphi and consortium) had a pre-site visit during 16 th and 17 th of February 2017 to collect basic data and meet with industries. Kick off meeting (22 nd to 24 th of February 2017) was held at Delhi office with GIZ and Adelphi to plan project activities, approach and work processes. Information event (3 rd to 4 th of March 2017) was held with GPCB, GIDC and industries by GIZ and Adelphi consortium (TERI). Representatives of over 45 industries participated.

The MOEFCC team is also keen to get training from SEIP to develop conditions for environmental clearances for industrial estates. 39

45 2 SEIP Project State Gujarat 2.1 Sustainability Standards for Planning and Retrofitting Industrial Areas in Gujarat The SEIP project aims at demonstrating practical examples for management and planning methods of sustainable industrial zones that support women. The old industrial estates severely lack adequate infrastructure. Neither any standards were applied for planning these industrial estates nor was any systematic site master planning undertaken. However, several retrofit measures are being undertaken, which in the absence of a comprehensive master plan are not able to give the desired results. In Gujarat, SEIP works with the Gujarat Industrial Development Corporation (GIDC) for developing planning approaches, including sustainability standards and site master planning for the industrial areas. The project provides technical support including the integration of quality parameters for sustainability and provisions for promoting women for the planning of industrial areas. One-day orientation workshop on Industrial Parks for Women Entrepreneurs was organised by SEIP under the technical cooperation with GIDC and the Gujarat Cleaner Production Centre (GCPC) on 18th January 2017 at Gandhinagar for over 80 officers of the Gujarat Industrial Development Corporation (GIDC). It resulted in GIDC s decision to initiate the retrofitting of five industrial estates (Vapi GIDC, Vatva GIDC, Naroda GIDC, Ankleshwar GIDC and Rajkot GIDC). Further, the industrial park for women at Sanand is to be re-planned. Three-day training programme on Planning and Retrofitting of Industrial Parks was organised by SEIP and GIDC from 19 th to 22 nd April 2017 at Auroville, Tamil Nadu for officers of GIDC. GIDC has identified five industrial estates for which retrofitting master plans are to be developed. This will be piloted at GIDC Industrial Estate Vapi with the support of GIZ. Sustainability Standards were developed and provided to GIDC. Elaborate TORs were developed for site master planning of the Vapi industrial estates. The report was well received, and it was decided to form a Working Group in GIDC with various stakeholders to come up with recommendations. Orientation workshop on Industrial Parks for Women Entrepreneurs was conducted on 18th January 2017 at Gandhinagar Follow-up actions were undertaken to ensure use of tender documents for the engagement of consultants to prepare the retrofitting site master plan of GIDC Vapi Industrial Estate.

58 1 SEIP Project Site Delhi 1.1 Digital Information Systems for Industrial Areas Development of an action plan together with supporting development programmes and/or promotional guidelines for introducing digital information systems for industrial areas in Delhi For improved planning and management of industrial areas, digital information system will be highly useful. Currently such a system is missing for the industrial areas in Delhi, which was posing difficulties in problem analysis and finding solutions for various issues taken up under the SEIP Project. The industrial park digital information system is designed to capture, store, analyse, manage, and present all types of spatial and attribute data on one single platform. It helps as a store house of digital data/information on layout, plot-wise details, infrastructure, etc. for an industrial area. The system can be used to monitor the status of infrastructure and services, to identify troubleshoots, to retrofit planning, and to identify actions for adding/modifying infrastructure /services etc. Key personnel of DSIIDC will be identified and trained to work with the digital information system. The training would cover relevant free software available in the market. The system developed on pilot basis for Patparganj, Mayapuri and Lawrence Road IA and will be replicated through an action plan developed together with supporting development programmes and/or promotional guidelines for application in all the 28 industrial areas in Delhi. SEIP-Delhi team created a digital information system for all three sites, i.e. Patparganj IA, Mayapuri IA and Lawrence Road IA and presented it to DSIIDC and other stakeholders in review meetings. SEIP-Delhi team offered to train DSIIDC officials to use the system. The proposal is under consideration with DSIIDC. An Action Plan will be developed for application at State level after testing the pilot phase for the three industrial areas. Discussion with DSIIDC is under progress. MD, DSIIDC in 11th January project review meeting asked GIZ to provide support to update all industrial areas map. GIZ requested DSIIDC to nominate people who will do it on behalf of DSIIDC 1.2 Management Structures for Industrial Areas Development of an action plan together with supporting development programmes and/or promotional guidelines for introducing management structures in various industrial parks in Delhi The aim of this activity is to provide viable solutions/models to DSIIDC for establishing management structures in industrial areas in Delhi for ensuring proper operation and management of the industrial areas by providing various functions such as governance, infrastructure services and development ser- 53

59 vices. The management structures being customised to the local situations based on the German experiences are to be piloted in the selected industrial areas in Delhi (Patparganj IA, Lawrence Road IA, Mayapuri IA). Accordingly, an action plan, together with development programmes and/or promotional guidelines will be developed for application in all the industrial areas of Delhi. Information exchange on existing management structures provided to the German expert (Weber Consulting) from the selected sites. In February 2017 (06-17), the German expert visited to examine the existing management structures at 5 industrial areas (Vapi IA, IIE Haridwar IA, Patparganj IA, Lawrence Road IA, Okhla IA) In March 2017, the first draft of report on management structures for the five (5) selected industrial areas received and GIZ shared feedback. In May 2017, GIZ submitted the final report on Management Structures at Industrial Areas to MoEFCC, SIIDCUL, DSIIDC, and GIDC. During July/August, Vapi Cell discussed the German report with Vapi Industrial Estate s stakeholders (GPCB, NAA, GIDC) separately. The same procedure is planned in the other project sites. In July 2017, SEIP-Delhi team discussed the proposals by Weber Consultant with stakeholders in the project review meeting. MD, DSIIDC asked SEIP Delhi team to work on feedback on the report Developing Management Structures for Selected Industrial Areas in India proposed by Dr. Weber (consultant GIZ). GIZ will work on the report, in particular regarding the following points: o Option 1) A management structure created by the association: The industrial association will look after all services related to the IA. The association will collect, and use revenue generated from common services. o Option 2) Bawana Narela Model used by DSIIDC: PPP model will be used where DSI- IDC will hire a concessioner who will look after all the services. DSIIDC will collect the revenue from the common services. o Option 3) SPV Model: proposed by GIZ Consultant. In which association and DSIIDC both will be partner. GIZ has to develop a model for responsibilities along with revenue sharing. Several other discussions were organised in September 2017 with DSIIDC, PNC and Infra to discuss the Bawana Narela and SPV model. SEIP-Delhi team developed a site-specific proposal for management structures for Patparganj IA based on the discussion and feedback collected from stakeholders and Dr. Weber s report. Several rounds of consultations with infrastructure management companies on the hybrid annuity model of infrastructure management took place. This has provided some inputs on how the proposed model of management structures could be implemented using successful hybrid annuity models. The PPP examples of Narela and Bawana IAs under DSIIDC and the hybrid annuity model development of sewage treatment plants on PPP basis at Haridwar, Uttarakhand stand testimony to this. 54

60 GIZ Delhi team conducted a meeting with MD, DSIIDC on 11th January 2018 and informed him about the submitted report on management structures for Patparganj IA. With the consent from MD, DSIIDC, GIZ submitted a request letter to constitution a working group dealing with this matter. Based on the letter, DSIIDC issued request letters for nominees to the respective govt departments for the working group. DSIIDC in the 20 th February Review meeting DSIIDC asked GIZ to make one working group for three industrial areas (Patparganj Industrial Area, Lawrence Road Industrial Area, Mayapuri Industrial Area) who will review the proposals and will develop the action Plan for application at State level after testing the pilot phase for the three industrial areas. 1.3 Others The action plans corresponding to the following activities will be taken up after seeing progress in the ongoing activities: Retrofitting of the existing industrial estates Industrial park management structures Sustainability Standards/Green Rating Upgradation of ETPs Upgradation of CETPs Resource Efficiency and Cleaner Production in Industries Skills Development of ETP and CETP Technicians and Operators 55

67 3.3 Retrofitting of Industrial Areas Development of action plan together with supporting development programmes and/or promotional guidelines for retrofitting of industrial estates in the state of Gujarat The SEIP project aims at demonstrating practical examples for management and planning methods of sustainable industrial zones that support women. The old industrial estates severely lack adequate infrastructure. Neither any standards were applied for planning these industrial estates nor was any systematic site master planning undertaken. However, several retrofit measures are being undertaken, which in the absence of a comprehensive master plan are not able to give the desired results. In Gujarat, SEIP works with the Gujarat Industrial Development Corporation (GIDC) for developing planning approaches, including sustainability standards and site master planning for the industrial areas. The project provides technical support including the integration of quality parameters for sustainability and provisions for promoting women for the planning of industrial areas. Pilot activity was initiated for GIDC industrial estate Vapi to prepare a retrofit site master plan by applying sustainability standards. Action Plan will be developed for application at State level after testing the pilot phase in GIDC Industrial Estate, Vapi. Ref. to Section 3.4 under Output A.3. Cleaner Production Centre (GCPC) was awarded a co-ordination consultancy work by GIZ.

GCPC conducted an introductory meeting with GIDC officials in December No progress for the current month. 3.5 BAT Reference Document for Textiles Best Available Techniques Reference Document for Textiles Sector The German Federal Environment Agency (Umweltbundesamt - UBA) is engaged in the European information exchange on Best Available Techniques and the elaboration and revision of Best Available Techniques (BAT) Reference Documents, known as BREF documents. The cooperation between GPCB-UBA-GIZ was initiated under the Indo-German Environment Partnership (IGEP) Programme of the Indo German Bilateral Development Cooperation and yielded positive results with environmental as well as economic benefits achieved in the volunteering textiles and pulp & paper industries where pilot activities were undertaken. A Joint Declaration of Intent (JDI) was signed in the month November, 2013 between the Gujarat Pollution Control Board (GPCB), UBA and GIZ. The cooperation was extended in December 2016 making the present cooperation part of IGEP follow-on project, SEIP. The overall objective of the GPCB-UBA-GIZ cooperation is the preparation of customised Reference Documents/Comprehensive Industry Documents (COINDS) specific to Gujarat for identified industry sectors with all relevant details, such as techniques and processes used in this sector, current emission and consumption levels, techniques to consider in the determination of the best available techniques (BAT) and emerging techniques (both of which are to be technically and economically viable) in order to facilitate and improve environmental compliance in Gujarat s industry sector. In the meeting held at GPCB on 24 April 2014 between UBA-GIZ-GPCB, the work done so far under GIZ-IGEP programme for textiles and pulp & paper sectors and the documentation undertaken for the successful pilot activities taken up in volunteering industries of textiles and pulp & paper sectors was taken into consideration. Inputs on BAT and techniques to consider in the determination of BAT were provided by UBA officials through various training sessions, with inputs on BAT examples from Germany as well as through work done so far under GIZ-IGEP programme for textiles and pulp & paper sectors 63

69 and the documentation undertaken for the successful pilot activities taken up in volunteering industries of textiles and pulp & paper sectors. In order to develop a customized structure / standard template for the reference document for Gujarat, various information exchange sessions between the core team of GPCB and UBA officials were organised by GIZ. Please find some more details on this information exchange below: o Meetings on Best Available Techniques Reference Document for Textile Sector of Gujarat on May 2016 in Gandhinagar, Gujarat. Objective of the meetings was to finalise the written procedure (Guidance Document), to define Process line out (Action Plan for BREF Process in Gujarat), to finalise ToRs for TWG & Author, discussion about key environment issues (Textile Sector) to be considered and preparation of questionnaire for textile sector. o Meetings and site visit on Best Available Techniques Reference Document for Textile Sector of Gujarat from 13 to 17 September 2016 at Gandhinagar in Gujarat. The objective of meetings was to clarify the process of information exchange to be followed to develop a BAT reference document for the textile industry from an author s perspective. o Sensitisation meeting for TWG members for BREF development process on 04 December As a result, GPCB identified responsible staff from its side for each of the identified industry sectors, who shall actively be involved in the process of preparation of Reference Documents. UBA and GPCB derived the process for preparation of the targeted Reference Document, UBA provided training to GPCB staff on preparation of the document. The core team of GPCB was able to develop a BREF guidance document for Gujarat as a guideline on the practical arrangements for the exchange of information. This builds upon the various prevalent legislations, regulations, guidelines and standard operating procedures (SOP). Various terms of reference for TWG members and the Author was developed, and a standard structure for reference documents was finalised. Also, a web platform parallel to BATIS is developed by GPCB, named BREF Information System (BIS), to enable information exchange during the BREF development process Additionally, formats for a wish list, data collection through questionnaire and template for techniques to be considered as BAT was developed for use in the process. GPCB appointed Gujarat Cleaner Production Centre as the Author for preparing the first BREF document for Gujarat. GPCB constituted a Technical Working Groups (TWG) for the textile industry sectors, including members from GPCB, government, industries, industrial associations, experts, etc. to carry out the exchange of information on BAT for guiding the process of preparation of the Reference Document, their review and finalisation. The preparation of a BREF Document was initiated in the official Kick-off Meeting for Best Available Techniques Reference Document for Textile Sector of Gujarat taking place from 16 to 17 January 2017 in Gandhinagar, Gujarat. This meeting consolidated the inputs of TWG members collected via the wish list for scope, structure and content of the BREF document. Further, a questionnaire for information collection from textile industries was developed, and the author officially initiated the process of developing a first draft of the BREF document for the textile sector. 64

70 The Author initiated the data collection form sample industries as per criteria defined in guidance document and help of local GPCB officials and TWG members. The first 3 chapters of the BREF document were drafted and are currently under review by TWG members. The Author (GCPC) for preparation of BAT document appointed by GPCB is collecting the remaining data in order to initiate drafting further chapters in coordination with GPCB officials and TWG members. The first round of data collection and draft chapters was completed by December In progress.
