These were to be presented to the peope for initiating debate/discussions on the various thematic issues. I am, therefore, peased to reease The Annua Report to the Peope on Infrastructure ( ) as prepared by the Panning Commission in consutation with the various Ministries deaing with infrastructure sector. Infrastructure pays a vita and often decisive roe in determining the overa productivity and deveopment of country s economy hereby decisivey affecting the quaity of ife of the citizens. Various pan documents ay emphasis on the deveopment of this sector. However, the infrastructure deficit continues to increase. The UPA Government has accorded higher priority to the deveopment of infrastructure sector. In order to meet the infrastructure requirements to support and sustain the high growth rate, it is necessary to mobiise resources. The buk of infrastructure requirement woud continue to be financed from pubic resources, however, our continued abiity to do so is imited. We have to increasingy depend on private sector to meet the financia requirements of this sector. Various steps have been taken to meet these chaenges. Cabinet Committee on Infrastructure has been constituted. Apart from considering and taking decisions in respect of major infrastructure projects, this Committee considers issues of investment in infrastructure incuding approvas to faciitate private sector partnership in specific projects. It is aso expected to ay down targets for performance of a infrastructure sectors. The Annua and Quartery targets for in respect of Power, Raiways, Roads, Ports and Airports have aready been finaized and put in the pubic domain. The Report has attempted a critica anaysis of the deveopments that have taken pace in these sectors during and indicates targets for As is evident from the Report, significant achievements have been made in the previous year. There is evidence of a robust momentum of growth in Power, Ports, Civi Aviation, Raiways and Roads. The Report aso indicates the targets for the next year, particuary, for Power, Raiways, Roads, Ports and Airports. I am confident this Report wi generate a constructive debate on different aspects of poicy and strategy needed to achieve our objective of strengthening the infrastructure services. I woud ook forward to your views and comments on various issues concerning the deveopment of infrastructure sector in the country. Your feedback woud hep us in devising pans, poicies and programmes for giving the citizens of India quaity infrastructure services. (Montek Singh Ahuwaia) Annua Report to the Peope on Infrastructure

7 4 Annua Report to the Peope on Infrastructure

8 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Infrastructure services have shown signs of reviva during from the recent goba economic crisis that had affected many sectors. The unmistakabe signs of reviva were seen in the robust momentum of growth in teecom services and signs of recovery in power, ports, civi aviation, raiways and roads. The report presents a critica anaysis of the deveopments that took pace in these sectors during Indian Raiways (IR) with its vast network of more than 64,015 route kiometres is the third argest raiway in the word under a singe management. The Eeventh Five Year Pan ( ) envisaged a 51 per cent increase in freight traffic and a 32 per cent increase in passenger traffic with focus on capacity enhancement, technoogica upgradation and service improvement. In , raiways recorded ifting 888 miion tonnes of revenue earning originating freight traffic and moving miion passengers against the target of 882 miions tonnes of originating freight traffic and miion passengers respectivey. To enhance its existing capacity, 258 kms of new ines were aid, work on 450 kms of track doubing was competed and gauge conversion of 1,516 kms carried out against a target of 250 kms, 500 kms and 1,400 kms respectivey. It aso eectrified 1,117 Track Kiometre (TKM) exceeding the target of 1000 TKM. For , the raiways have set a target of construction of (a) 1019 kms new ines, (b) doubing of 767 kms; (c) gauge conversion of 834 kms; (d) eectrification of 1000 TKM and to move originating freight of 944 MT, besides moving originating passengers numbering miion. In addition, construction of dedicated freight corridors and improvement of other infrastructure faciities viz. modernisation of raiway stations, provision of cean drinking water, and introduction of new fast passenger trains etc. is envisaged. 3. The tota ength of the Nationa Highways (NHs) is 70,934 kms. This constitutes about 2 per cent of the country s tota road network and carries 40 per cent of the tota road traffic. The main objective of deveopment of the NHs is to improve mobiity. This objective is being achieved through impementation of the expanded Nationa Highway Deveopment Programme (NHDP). In , the targets coud not be achieved. However, compared to the past, the performance of Nationa Highways Authority of India (NHAI) in , particuary in the second haf of the year, was encouraging. A number of measures mainy reating to processes and procedures have been undertaken to expedite the work. With these measures, the pace of impementation is ikey to pick up. The progress with regard to work on Nationa Highways (NHs) not covered by NHDP has been satisfactory. The progress of work on Specia Acceerated Road Deveopment Programme for North East (SARDP-NE) Annua Report to the Peope on Infrastructure

The first phase under Bharat Nirman is ikey to be competed in About 95 per cent of India s merchandise trade accounting for 70 per cent of its tota revenue is carried out through maritime transport. Ensuring efficient and safe ports is therefore the main goa of deveopment of ports. Traffic growth at the ports was modest at 2.7 per cent in During , the major ports handed miion tonnes (MT) registering an increase of 5.74 per cent over the previous year. However it fe short of the target of MT. Capacity augmentation of ports in the first three years of the Eeventh Pan has not been satisfactory. Against the Eeventh Pan target of additiona capacity generation of MT, capacity equivaent to 95 MT was added in the first three years of the Pan. Buk of the capacity creation was envisaged to come up through private sector participation. With the finaisation of reevant processes and procedures, 13 Pubic Private Partnership (PPP) projects were awarded in at an estimated cost of Rs crore and with a capacity of Miion Tonnes Per Annum (MTPA).. In , 21 projects are to be awarded. The private sector is estimated to invest Rs crore in Upgradation and modernisation of a number of Metro and Non-Metro airports have been undertaken in order to meet the traffic demand as we as to create a wordcass airport infrastructure. The important projects competed during incude (a) the integrated Termina T-3 project at Indira Gandhi Internationa (IGI) Airport, New Dehi (b) Construction of the new domestic termina T1C at Chhatrapati Shivaji Internationa (CSI) Airport, Mumbai. Projects to enhance the capacity of Chennai and Kokata Airports are in progress. Out of 35 Non-Metro airports, 12 airports have been competed in In , the major projects that woud be in progress incude (a) shifting of Air Traffic Contro (ATC) tower at IGI, New Dehi (b) construction of a new termina at Mumbai (c) expansion of termina & apron at Bengauru Airport (d) modernisation/expansion of runway at Kokata and Chennai airports etc. The work on 14 Non-Metro airports is aso ikey to be competed in The power sector has received utmost priority in the successive Five-Year Pans, resuting in the utiity-based instaed generation capacity rising from 1,362 Mega Watt (MW) at the time of independence to 1,60,000 MW today. A capacity addition of 9,585 MW was achieved during the Annua Pan , which though ower than the target (14,507 MW), has so far been the highest in any singe Annua Pan period. The capacity wi be increased to 20,359 MW during The tota generation envisaged for was Biion Unit (BU), against which the actua achievement has been at BU (97.68 per cent). Scanty rainfa caused a shortfa in the case of hydroeectricity generation. The margina shortfa in therma generation of 1.23 per cent was compensated by increased 6 Annua Report to the Peope on Infrastructure

10 generation from gas based projects. Annua Pan has set a target of BU. To ensure the avaiabiity of coa and gas severa steps such as deveopment of coa bocks and setting up of LNG termina etc. have been initiated. A states participating in Rajiv Gandhi Grameen Vidyutikaran Yojana (RGGVY) have notified their rura eectrification pan and notified formation of District Committees. Annua Pan set a target to eectrify 17,500 un-eectrified viages and 47 akh Beow Poverty Line (BPL) Househods against which 18,374 viages and akh Househods were eectrified. For , eectrification target of 17,500 viages and 47 akh BPL Househods has been set. 7. T h e r a p i d d e v e o p m e n t i n the Information Technoogy (IT) and teecommunication sector has been possibe with strong private sector participation and a proactive and industry friendy reguatory support from the Government. The present tee-density is more than 53 per cent with miion connections (as on Apri 2010), propeed by wireess subscribers growing at a compound annua growth rate (CAGR) of 60 per cent per annum since The introduction of Third Generation (3G) teecom services wi faciitate high speed data communications incuding voice and video through mobie. The number of broadband subscribers grew from a meagre 0.18 miion as on March 2005 to about 8.77 miion, by February Broadband connectivity is ikey to get a further boost with the auctioning of spectrum for Broadband Wireess Access (BWA) Service and setting up of Common Service Centres (CSCs). However, there was arge difference between rura tee-density (24 per cent) and urban tee-density which was at119 per cent as on March In order to increase rura tee-density, the Department has been encouraging identification of new spectrum bands and sharing of infrastructure etc. Government is aso taking measures under Universa Service Obigation (USO) Fund to boost broadband and teecom infrastructure in rura areas. India is fast emerging as a hub for goba teecom manufacturing and the production and export of teecom equipment in the country are on a steady rise. Leading goba payers have made significant investments in setting up manufacturing units in India. 8. The phenomena growth of IT during the ast decade has had a perceptibe mutipier effect on the Indian economy. It has had a tremendous impact on government efficiency, fostered transparency and improved services to the citizens, and has had a positive impact on the growth of nationa income and GDP. The roout of critica core infrastructure has heped in the impementation of mission mode projects under the Nationa e-governance Pan (NeGP). As on March 2010, 19 States/ UTs have impemented State Wide Area Networks (SWANs) and 76,100 Common Service Centres (CSCs) in 29 states were roed out. The Department of Information Technoogy is expected to estabish CSCs in a 2,50,000 Panchayats (under Bharat Nirman) in the next three years. 9. Expansion of Irrigation faciities, aong with consoidation of the existing systems, has been the main part of the strategy for increasing production of food Annua Report to the Peope on Infrastructure

11 grains. The Eeventh Pan had set a target of creating irrigation potentia of 9.5 miion hectare (mha) through major and medium (5.00 m.ha.) and minor (4.5 m.ha.) projects. Irrigation potentia (both new and restored potentia) of m.ha. was created through major, medium and minor projects from 2005 to During , the target for creation of irrigation potentia was 1.19 mha through major and medium irrigation projects and mha through the minor projects. Annua Pan proposes further creation of irrigation potentia of 2.02 m.ha. 10. The targets under Nationa Rura Drinking Water Programme (NRDWP) were to cover 586 not covered habitations, 1.23 akh sipped back habitations and 34,595 quaity affected habitations. Against this, 253 not covered habitations and 1.18 akh sipped back habitations were covered and 32,129 quaity affected habitations were addressed. During , coverage of 1.1 akh sipped back habitations and 25,000 water quaity affected habitations has been targeted under NRDWP. 11. By the end of , Tota Sanitation Campaign (TSC) projects had been sanctioned in 606 districts across the country. These are to be competed by Since the scheme is demand-driven, no annua targets are fixed in advance. However, the campaign was successfu in the construction of akh individua househod atrines and 1.44 akh schoo toiets. 12. Under the Jawahara Nehru Urban Renewa Mission Urban (JNNURM), aunched by the Hon be Prime Minister in 2005, the Annua Pan set aside a sum of Rs crore for Urban Infrastructure & Governance (UIG) and Rs crore for Urban Infrastructure Deveopment of Sma & Medium Towns (UIDSSMT). Whie UIG aims at integrated deveopment of infrastructura services in 65 seected (Mission) cities, the atter focuses on Infrastructure deveopment and sum deveopment in sma and medium towns providing them with water suppy, sewer, storm water drainage and soid waste management faciities. The expenditure during under the two heads have been Rs.3039 crore and Rs.299 crore respectivey. The major portion of aocation of Rs crore for UIG and Rs crore for UIDSSMT for is expected to be utiised for competion of ongoing water suppy, soid waste management and sewerage and drainage projects. The Brihan Mumbai Storm Water Drainage Project (BRIMSTOWAD), a storm water drainage project for Mumbai, being impemented with 100 per cent Additiona Centra Assistance (ACA), is schedued to be competed by March, More than 10 akh dweing units were approved under Basic Services to Urban Poor (BSUP) scheme whie another 4.70 akh units were approved under the Housing & Sum Deveopment Programme (IHSDP). The programmes were aocated Rs crore and Rs crore respectivey in Out of these ony 1.58 akh under BSUP and around 59 akh dweing units under IHSDP have been competed. The remaining units are required to be competed in the next two years. An aocation of, Rs crore and Rs crore for 8 Annua Report to the Peope on Infrastructure

13 chapter-1 RAILWAYS Introduction 1.1 Indian Raiways (IR) with its 64,015 kiometre network is the third argest raiway in the word under a singe management. Some key statistics for Indian, Raiways have been shown in Tabe 2.1. The Eeventh five year pan document emphasised that The Indian raiways is at threshod of major change. The key chaenges before it is to meet the acceerated transport demand and provide high quaity service. Thus, capacity enhancement, technoogica upgradation and service improvement of Indian Raiways are the major thrust areas of the Pan It had envisaged 51 per cent increase in freight traffic and 32 per cent increase in passenger traffic during the pan period. The Pan had anticipated an expenditure of Rs.2,51,000 crore on various capacity enhancement and repacement programmes. A major part of the investment is expected to come from internay generated resources besides feasibe budgetary support. Around Rs. 1,00,000 crore is expected from extra budgetary resources incuding that from Pubic Private Partnership (PPP), during the Pan period. Goas, Targets & Achievements during Outay and Target 1.2 An outay of Rs. 40,745 crore comprising Rs.15,800 crore of Gross Budgetary Support (GBS), Rs.15,675 crore of interna resource generation and Rs.9,270 crore of market borrowing, was provided for As per the revised estimates , the raiway coud reaise an amount of Rs.40,285 crore consisting of Rs.17,699 crore as GBS, Rs.12,786 crore as internay generated resources, and Rs.9,800 crore of market borrowing. Annua Pan set a target for 882 miion tonnes of revenue earning freight traffic against which it recorded ifting 888 miion tonnes. It was a margina rise from 850 miion tonnes that was ifted in As regards, passenger traffic, the Indian raiways achieved the movement of miion passengers as against an estimated target of 7384 miion passengers during Tabe 1.1: Some key statistics* Route Kms Empoyees (akhs) Number of Stations 7030 Number of Passengers Trains Run Daiy Number of Goods Trains Run Daiy 7845 Diese eectric ocomotives 4963 Eectric ocomotives 3586 Coaches Wagons * as on 31 st March, Capacity Enhancement 1.3 In view of the rise in freight and 10 Annua Report to the Peope on Infrastructure

14 passenger traffic, new ines are being aid and gauge conversion and doubing is being carried out. Apart from these, dedicated freight corridors are to be buit. The foowing paragraphs give a brief overview of the progress of these works in : New Lines 1.4 In the beginning of the year , the Raiways had more than 109 approved new ines projects with a throw forward (amount required to compete the projects) of Rs.50,400 crore. With construction of 258 kms of new ines, the Raiways were abe to achieve its set target for the year. Doubing 1. 5 The year began with more than 126 approved doubing projects with an approximate throw forward of Rs.12,000 crore. As against the revised target of doubing 500 kms of tracks, the achievement was 450 kms. Doubing fe short of target because of probems faced in and acquisition, sow progress by contractors and compex working conditions in yards where modification to the existing ayout was required. Efforts are being made to overcome these probems by speeding and acquisition through the Raiway (Amendment) Act 2008 and better monitoring. Gauge Conversion 1.6 The Raiways have increasingy sought to repace the Meter Gauge (MG) system with Broad Gauge (BG) in order to ensure seamess movement of traffic and passengers besides augmenting the carrying capacity. This Gauge conversion was started in the year In against the revised target of 1,400 kms, 1,516 kms were converted to Broad Gauge. There are more than 51 projects of gauge conversion with a throw forward of more than Rs.17,500 crore during Raiway Eectrification 1.7 Eectric traction not ony reduces our dependence on diese oi but aso provides a poution-free and energy efficient mode of transport. Presenty, more than 18,000 route kiometres covering roughy 29 per cent of the tota route kiometres1 are eectrified. In the year , raiways have achieved eectrification of 1,117 Track Kiometres (TKM)2 against the target of 1,000 TKM. Dedicated Freight Corridor (DFC): 1.8 Construction of two Dedicated Freight Corridors, one between Jawahara Nehru Port Trust (JNPT) and Dadri and the other Figure 1.1.

15 1.9 The DFCs, panned with higher axe-oad and modern technoogy, provide an opportunity to achieve substantia segregation of freight and passenger traffic on the trunk routes and thus improve the speed and reiabiity of both freight and passenger services. Figure 1.2. Western Dedicated Freight Corridor between Ludhiana and Dankuni has been panned. Externa funding is being sought for both the corridors. In , the Cabinet approved Japanese assistance for impementation of the entire Western Corridor. Two oan agreements for Phase-I (Rewari-Vadodara) project were signed during the year. The first oan agreement which reated to engineering consutancy services was signed in October 09, whie the second oan agreement regarding construction of the project was signed in March, Negotiations with Word Bank for a oan agreement for Khurja Mughasarai section is aso at an advanced stage. Whie a requirements for preappraisa have been met, oan negotiations and fina consideration by Word Bank Board is expected by The Word Bank is aso ikey to fund the construction of the Ludhiana-Khurja section. Roing Stock Programme 1.10 Raiways have continuousy endeavoured to upgrade its roing stock viz. ocomotives, passenger coaches and wagons both in terms of technoogy and quantity to meet the growing demand of freight and passenger traffic in the country. New diese and eectric ocomotives capabe of carrying arger oad with greater speeds are now being manufactured. Coaches are presenty being manufactured at the Integra Coach Factory at Perambur and Rai Coach Factory (RCF) at Kapurthaa. Newy designed coaches providing better comfort and enhanced safety features are being inducted into service. On 29 March 2010, a fuy air-conditioned prototype doube-decker coach with 128 seating capacity, the first of its kind in the country, was roed out of RCF. Manufacturing Units 1.11 The raiway manufacturing units have the capacity to buid diese and eectric ocomotives in a year. However, the Eeventh Pan assessed the annua requirement at 720 ocomotives per year. To meet the gap, a diese ocomotive factory at Marhowra at a cost of Rs.2,052 crore and one eectric ocomotive factory at Madhepura at a cost of Rs.1, crore are to be set up. Both the projects have been approved 12 Annua Report to the Peope on Infrastructure

16 by the Cabinet and Request for Quaification (RFQ) was issued in An anciary unit for Chittaranjan Locomotive Works and a unit to manufacture components and sub assembies for modern diese ocomotives are aso being set up at Dankuni. These projects were sanctioned in at a cost of Rs crore and Rs 110 crore, respectivey. They are proposed to be deveoped through private funding by providing assured offtake for imited number of years Work on setting up of a new coach factory at Rai Bareiy began in To be set up at a cost of Rs.1,685 crore the coach factory wi have a production capacity of 1,000 coaches per year. According to the Eeventh Pan, there is a requirement of 5,000 coaches per year. However, the existing manufacturing units of the raiways produce about 3,000 coaches, suppemented by another 500 coaches from the private sector. The new coach factory is expected to meet the shortfa to an extent. Further, to augment the capacity, a new Rai Coach Manufacturing unit to manufacture Eectrica Mutipe Units (EMU) and Mainine Eectrica Mutipe Units (MEMU) coaches is panned to be set up at Kancharapara at a cost of Rs 860 crore. This project was sanctioned in There is a perennia shortage of whees which the raiways intend to overcome through setting up of a whees factory at Chhapra with an annua capacity of 1,00,000 whees per annum. The setting up of the factory is aready in progress and about 75 per cent of physica progress has been achieved by March, The factory is ikey to be commissioned in Service Improvements Apart from the capacity enhancement works and roing stock programme, improvement in services to the customer by way of better quaity and standards is aso of paramount importance to the raiways. Stations Raiway stations are the face of the raiways. Upkeep of stations with provision of adequate faciities is crucia to customer satisfaction. Some of the infrastructure created during in order to improve services, are outined beow: Word Cass Stations Raiway Stations need to be modernized to provide word cass passenger amenities and services to its passengers. Fifty stations have been identified in the first stage of this arge scae modernisation. Feasibiity studies for New Dehi, Patna and Mumbai have been competed. Raiways are panning to attract private investments for this modernisation project. Adarsh Stations Some of the raiway stations are to be re-modeed into Adarsh Stations containing basic faciities such as drinking water, adequate toiets, catering services, waiting rooms and dormitories. Of the 378 stations identified for the purpose, 286 stations were deveoped as Adarsh stations by end-march, Annua Report to the Peope on Infrastructure

17 Mutifunctiona Compexes Raiways have decided to construct Mutifunctiona Compexes (MFCs) in station premises for providing rai users with shopping faciities, food stas & restaurants, book stas, PCO/STD/ISD/FAX booths, chemist shops, variety stores, budget hotes and underground parking. So far, 67 stations have been identified in this scheme. Cean Drinking Water Making cean botted drinking water avaiabe to passengers at affordabe rates is a priority for Raiways. This project has been opened to the private sector and setting up of six botting pants at Ambaa, Amethi, Ma, Nasik, Farakka and Trivandrum have been panned through PPP mode. Passenger Services Duronto Raiways introduced the Duronto train service during It is a non-stop point-to-point service with AC and non-ac seepers between seected cities throughout the country. Fourteen such services have been introduced so far. Yuva Yuva Trains dedicated to the youth were introduced in These trains with air conditioned seated accommodation wi run between major cities without in-between stoppages so that the youth, especiay those beonging to the ow income groups can trave at subsidized rates between these cities. Two such new ow-priced fast train services are aready in operation. Freight Services Liberaised Wagon Investment Scheme A Liberaised Wagon Investment Scheme (LWIS) with provision for freight rebate for 20 years has been aunched to encourage private investment in high capacity and specia-purpose wagons. The rakes inducted under the scheme run on point-to-point or pre -specified cose-circuit routes. Kisan Vision With a view to encourage setting up of cod storage and temperature controed perishabe cargo centres through Pubic Private Partnership mode, a task force was constituted with representatives of the Ministries concerned, Container Corporation of India Ltd. (CONCOR), Centra Warehousing Corporation (CWC) and cod chain operators to draw up a road map. Six ocations at Dankuni, Mechheda, Nasik, New Japaiguri, New Azadpur and Singur have been identified for the piot project. Foundation stone for the first such piot project was aid by Hon be Minister for Raiways at Singur on 29 th November, Vision The Ministry of Raiways brought out a Vision 2020 document in December The document spes out the Raiways pan for massive network expansion by adding 25,000 kms of new ines, doubing of more than 30,000 kms of route, competing the gauge conversion programme and eectrifying 33,000 kms of route. 14 Annua Report to the Peope on Infrastructure

18 Physica Targets Traffic: The raiways have targeted to move originating freight of 944 MT and originating passengers numbering miion Capacity Enhancement: For capacity enhancement, the raiways have targeted (a) construction of 1019 kms of new ines; (b) doubing of 767 kms; (c) gauge conversion of 834 TKM; and (d) eectrification of 1000 TKM Construction of Dedicated Freight Corridors: Western DFC Phase I Vadodara Rewari: Land acquisition notification for the entire ength of 920 kms.

Khurja Ludhiana Section kms: Issue and acquisition notification for the entire ength of 350 kms. Way Forward 1.29 Issues that require to be addressed in the near future are: - Improving revenue generation and seffinancing capacity of the raiways. This may require re-baancing of tariffs. There is a arge portfoio of new ines. Schemes require to be prioritised so that avaiabe resources are not too thiny distributed over a arge number of schemes. The deveopment of raiways requires huge resources. In order to bridge the gap between avaiabiity of resources and requirement of funds, there is a need to invove private sector in the whoe range of raiway deveopment programmes.

19 CHAPTER-2 ROADS A. Nationa Highways 2.1 The Nationa Highways (NH) with aggregate ength of 70,934 km., constitute about 2 per cent of the entire road network in the country but carry 40 per cent of the tota road traffic. The main objective of deveopment of NH is to improve mobiity through augmentation of capacity and enhancing the riding quaity of existing NHs. Towards this end, expanded NH Deveopment Programme is being impemented under various phases. Nationa Highways Deveopment Project (NHDP) 2.2. The Nationa Highways Deveopment Project (NHDP), the argest highway project ever undertaken by the country, was initiated in 2005 in a phased manner with the Nationa Highways Authority of India (NHAI) as its impementing agency. Beginning with Phase I and II, the programme was expanded to seven phases. 2.3 NHDP Phase I & II envisaged 4/6 aning of about 14,000 km of Nationa Highways, at an estimated cost of about Rs. 65,000 crore at 2004 prices. These two phases comprised the Goden Quadriatera (GQ), North-South & East-West Corridors (NSEW), port connectivity and other projects. The GQ consists of 5846 km and connects four major cities, viz; Dehi, Mumbai, Chennai and Kokata. The NSEW corridors of 7142 km, connects Srinagar in the North to Kanyakumari in the South incuding a spur from Saem to Kochi and Sichar in the East to Porbandar in the West. The NHDP aso incudes the Port Connectivity Project comprising a ength of 380 km for improvement of roads connecting 12 major ports in the country. Other projects invoving a ength of 965 km are aso incuded in NHDP Phase-I&II. Figure 2.1.

Specia Acceerated Road Deveopment Programme in North-East (SARDP-NE) and Deveopment of Roads in Left Wing Extremism Affected Areas have been aunched. Financia and Physica Progress for Against an outay of Rs.20,450 crore for deveopment of roads under various programmes of the Ministry of Road Transport & Highways, the expenditure (provisiona) incurred was Rs.14, crore. Private sector investment of Rs.8573 crore in fe short of the estimated Rs crore. Progress in the case of widening of roads and award of projects aso fe short of the target as shown in Tabe Tabe 2.1 : Physica Targets and Achievements during NHDP Sections Category Target Achievement Widening to anes (km.) Award of Projects (km.) Reasons for Sow Progress 2.8 Deay in pre-construction activities, oca aw & order probem, poor performance by some contractors and adoption of new procedure and processes for approva of Pubic Private Partnership (PPP) projects were some of the reasons why the targets coud not be met. Economic sowdown too adversey affected the progress of NHDP. However, compared to the past, the performance of NHAI in , particuary in the second haf of the year, has been encouraging. Action Taken 2.9 A number of measures have been taken to expedite the progress of NHDP. These are: Appointment of senior officers as noda officers for resoving probems associated with impementation of the NHDP such as and acquisition (LA), remova of utiities, forest/ poution/ environment cearances etc. in the states. These noda officers Annua Report to the Peope on Infrastructure

21 hod periodic meetings to review the projects and take action to resove the probems. Simpification of procedure for issue of and acquisition notifications. Increase of Tota Project Cost (TPC) up to 20 per cent in case the estimated project costs are based on od detaied project reports (DPRs). Restructuring the project to reduce costs to make them financiay viabe. Reease of entire Viabiity Gap Funding (VGF) (up to 40 per cent) during the construction period. Remova of the provision in Requests for Quaification (RFQ) imiting the maximum numbers of pre-quaified bidders. Re-structuring of NHAI 2.10 One of the reasons for sow progress in impementation of NHDP is the inadequate impementation capacity of NHAI. To improve capacity and augment the skis, the Government took a decision to restructure NHAI. The important components of re-structuring of NHAI are as foows: - Seection of the Chairman by a Search Committee headed by the Cabinet Secretary. The tenure of the Chairman to be fixed for at east three years with provision for extension up to five years. Age in case of the Chairman to be reaxed up to 62 years, if required for three year tenure. NHAI to have six fu time Members - one each for finance, administration, pubic private partnership (PPP), two members (Project) and one member (Technica). Increase in the number of parttime Members by two from the non- Government sector, one from IITs/IIMs and the other from financia institutions. Empowering the Authority to engage, where required, outside experts A Committee has been set up under the Chairmanship of Shri B.K. Chaturvedi, Member, Panning Commission to resove the procedura issues with a view to expediting the Nationa Highway Deveopment Project. Among the various recommendations made by the Committee are:- (a) buiding the maximum road ength through BOT to mode (b) working out the broad work pan and financing pan 2.12 The other recommendations aimed at rationaisation of the process and procedures have been accepted by the Government. The impementation of recommendations is expected to expedite the progress of NHDP. Nationa Highways (Origina) Non-NHDP sections of NHs 2.13 Sections of nationa highways which are not covered under the NHDP are being deveoped by the Ministry of Road Transport & Highways through state governments. Against the RE outay of Rs crore for , the expenditure incurred on these was Rs crore (provisiona).

It has so far been approved ony for Detaied Project Report (DPR) preparation and investment decision is yet to be taken by the Government. Physica progress has been extremey sow, mainy due to inadequate impementation capacity, short working season and aw-and-order probems. (b) Specia Programme for Deveopment of Roads in the Left Wing Extremism (LWE) affected areas 2.15 A proposa for deveopment of about 1,202 km. of nationa highways and 4,362 km. of state roads in areas affected by Left Wing Extremism (LWE) has been approved. The project is estimated to cost about Rs. 7,300 crore. The project covers 34 districts in eight states -- Andhra Pradesh, Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Orissa and Uttar Pradesh. Technica and financia sanction for a identified nationa highways & state road projects woud be as per stipuated procedure for nationa highways works. Up to 31 March, 2010 sanction was issued for 2891 kms at an estimated cost of Rs.3261 crore. Works for 147 km ength and costing Rs crore were awarded during under this programme. Targets for An outay of Rs.25,155 crore has been provided to the Ministry of Road Transport & Highways for the deveopment of roads in The re-structuring of NHAI wi aso hep speed up the impementation of NHDP.

Fexibiity in re-structuring of projects to be in sync with traffic requirement, safety concerns and avaiabiity of resources. 3. There is a need to buid up expressway network for meeting the ong term road transport traffic requirements. 4. There is a need to expedite the work on SARDP-NE. The capacity for evoving and impementation of projects in the North-East needs to be buit up. B. Rura Roads Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana (PMGSY) Goas & Objectives 2.18 The primary objective of the PMGSY (aunched in December 2000 as a fuy funded Centray Sponsored Scheme (CSS) was to provide connectivity, by way of an a-weather road (with necessary cuverts and cross-drainage structures, which is operabe throughout the year), to the eigibe unconnected habitations in the rura areas, in such a way that a unconnected habitations with a popuation of 1,000 persons and above were to be covered in three years ( ) and a unconnected habitations with a popuation of 500 persons and above by the end of the Tenth Pan Period (2007). In respect of the hi States (North-East, Sikkim, Himacha Pradesh, Figure 2.2: Road constructed under PMGSY in Arunacha Pradesh 20 Annua Report to the Peope on Infrastructure

24 Jammu & Kashmir, Uttarakhand) and the desert areas (as identified in the Desert Deveopment Programme) as we as the triba (Schedue V) areas, the objective was to connect habitations with a popuation of 250 persons and above The origina targets set for PMGSY were found to be too ambitious. Subsequenty, PMGSY was re-phased to achieve time bound targets for rura connectivity by foding it into the Bharat Nirman programme initiated in It aimed to provide connectivity to a the habitations with a popuation of more than 1000 in the pain areas and habitation with a popuation of 500 or more in hiy or triba areas in a time bound manner by Financia and Physica Progress during Annua Pan An expenditure of Rs.21,000 crore against an outay of Rs.18,500 crore (Rs.12,000 crore GBS and Rs.6,500 IEBR), was expected in Construction of km. of roads and connectivity to 4955 habitations was achieved by February 2010, against the year s target of 55,000 kms of roads and connectivity to 13,000 habitations The achievements varied across states. The states faing short in connectivity are Assam, Chhattisgarh, Orissa, Bihar, Jharkhand, West Benga, Jammu & Kashmir, Tripura and Uttarakhand. Reasons for Sow Progress Shortage of adequate number of dedicated Programme Impementation Units (PIUs) at state eve Limited contracting capacity of state governments Deay in getting forest cearance Non-avaiabiity of private and for road construction Deay in award of contract and weak contract management Difficut terrain and incement weather conditions. Action Taken / Proposed 2.23 Strengthening of institutiona capacity Creation of dedicated PIUs, depoyment of centra PSUs, outsourcing of project preparation, engaging independent project impementation consutants and reviewing the existing deegation of powers are some of the steps taken/being taken by various states in order to strengthen institutiona capacity Augmentation of contracting capacity - With massive step up in the investment in road construction, constraints in contracting capacity have emerged as a major impementation issue necessitating repeated bidding for awarding contracts in certain cases. Some of the steps taken to enhance the contracting capacities in the states incude, increase in the size of the package, permit joint ventures between big and sma contractors and award performance incentives for timey competion of projects Forest and environment cearance - It usuay takes months to obtain Annua Report to the Peope on Infrastructure

25 forest cearance. States affected have to initiate pro-active upfront action for seeking forest cearances as soon as the survey commences for preparation of Detaied Project Reports (DPRs) Avaiabiity of private and for road construction - State governments are to ensure avaiabiity of private and required for road construction. States experiencing difficuties on this account have to use Gram Panchayats and oca revenue administration to overcome this constraint Law & Order probems - Left wing extremist activities are affecting the pace of impementation in some parts of Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Orissa and Jharkhand. These states have to ensure adequate security to impement the programmes In addition, the Ministry of Rura Deveopment has taken a number of steps to improve the impementation of projects under PMGSY. These incude e-procurement aimed at reducing time for processing bids increasing competitiveness and enhancing transparency, rationaisation of standards and stakehoders, review of performance of states which are agging behind in achieving targets, strengthening maintenance and monitoring. Programme for An outay of Rs.22, crore (Rs.12, GBS and Rs.10, crore IEBR) has been provided to the Ministry of Rura Deveopment for the deveopment of rura roads for the Annua Pan Detais of physica targets are: - Connectivity to 6,000 habitations Construction of 19,090 kms. for new connectivity and 15,000 kms. under upgradation (Physica targets have been fixed ony on the basis of GBS of Rs.12, crore) Way Forward 2.30 The issues that need to be ooked into are: 1. Preparation of work and financing pan.. It may indicate road ength to be constructed to achieve the target of PMGSY, requirement of funds and identify the sources of funding. 2. In order to provide adequate funds for the maintenance of existing rura roads, there is need to enhance sef-financing capacity of the sector. 22 Annua Report to the Peope on Infrastructure

26 CHAPTER-3 PORTS Introduction 3.1 Ports pay a vita roe in the overa economic deveopment of the country. There are 12 major ports and about 200 non-major ports aong India s coastine. The 12 major ports are ocated at Kokata/Hadia, Mumbai, Jawahara Nehru Port at Nhava Sheva, Chennai, Cochin, Visakhapatnam, Kanda, Mormugao, Paradip, New Mangaore, Tuticorin and Ennore. The major ports are under the direct administrative contro of the Centra Government whie the nonmajor ports are under the jurisdiction of the respective maritime State Governments. Goas, Targets & Achievements during Ensuring vibrant, efficient and safe ports is the main goa of deveopment of ports. In the past, our ports suffered from capacity constraints. The major thrust in the medium term is to improve capacity by construction of new berths and by improving productivity by repacing od equipment, improving the draft and deveopment of associated infrastructura faciities. 3.3 Traffic at ports had been increasing at a rate of per cent in the past. Figure 3.1: Cochin Port Annua Report to the Peope on Infrastructure

27 However, in the growth of traffic at major ports was modest (2.7 per cent). During there was further increase in traffic and major ports handed MT, registering an increase of 5.74 per cent over the previous year. 3.4 The Eeventh Pan envisaged an additiona capacity generation of MT making tota capacity of major ports at MT by the end of the Pan period. However, capacity augmentation in the first three years of the Eeventh Pan was not satisfactory. Whie in the first two years generation of additiona capacity was ony 70 MT, in it was 25 MT. The Second Container Termina at Chennai Port which became operationa in added a capacity of 9.6 MT. 3.5 The augmentation of port capacity was expected from investment by the private sector. It took some time to firm up the processes and procedures that woud faciitate private investment in port sector. The various documents incuding Mode Concession Agreement are now in pace. It is expected that private sector participation in ports woud pick up giving the necessary boost to capacity augmentation of ports. 3.6 Thirteen Pubic-Private Partnership projects at an estimated cost of Rs crore and capacity of Miion Metric S.

28 Tonnes Per Annum (MTPA) were awarded in The projects are isted in Tabe- 4.1: 3.7 The progress with regard to improvement in productivity has not been satisfactory. The comparison of average turnaround time for the period Apri to February 2009 and Apri to February 2010 indicates that there has been an increase in average turnaround time of vesses from 3.88 to 4.42 days. Ony four ports viz Chennai, Cochin, Mumbai and Kanda have shown some improvement. Average turnaround time on port account has aso shown deterioration from 2.45 to 2.61 during the same period. 3.8 Severa projects are under underway at various ports. The Internationa Container Trans-shipment Termina (ICTT) at Vaarpadam at Cochin Port is one such important project. Significant progress has been made with regard to construction of the Termina in and the project is expected to be commissioned shorty. Rai connectivity to ICTT at Vaarpadam was taken up at an estimated cost of Rs crore. Construction work of this project has aready been competed. The four-ane NH connectivity to ICTT, taken up at an estimated cost of Rs cr., is expected to be commissioned by December In addition, the impementation of project reating to capita dredging for deepening and widening of the approach channe and berth basin of ICTT to provide draft of 14.5 m at Vaarpadam has been initiated. Sethusamudram Project 3.9 Foowing Supreme Court orders, dredging work in Adam s Bridge area has been suspended. The Supreme Court suggested that the aternate aignment between Dhanushkodi and Lands End on Rameshwaram Isand may be examined keeping in view the technica aspects, cost Figure 3.2: Chennai Port Annua Report to the Peope on Infrastructure

29 benefit anaysis, socia and cutura impact, environmenta impact assessment (EIA) and aw & order and any other reated issue. Accordingy, the Centra Government constituted a Committee of Experts to consider the re-aignment of Sethusamudram channe. The Committee has nominated the Nationa Institute of Oceanography (NIO) for carrying out the proposed EIA. The NIO has started work on the EIA and instaed equipment for coection of data etc. Tsumani Rehabiitation Programme 3.10 The Tsunami Rehabiitation Programme (TRP) for ports is being impemented by the Andaman & Lakshwadeep Harbour Works (ALHW) for the Centra Sector. Under the TRP, besides the commissioning of jetties, restoration of the cargo handing equipments and other aied port structures ike passenger ha, cargo godowns, port offices, navigationa aids etc at various ports has been carried out for faciitating smooth port operations. Out of a tota number of 84 schemes under the TRP, 29 schemes have been competed, 26 are under progress and tenders have been invited for four of schemes. Six of the projects are under revision whie 19 have been dropped The pace of work on ALHW picked in and significant progress was made. Four jetties were commissioned during the year. These are now operationa and fit for berthing of vesses which has heped resume the shipping activities The expenditure on deveopment of port faciities by ALHW aso showed an increase in The organisation has spent about Rs crore towards pan works during incurring more than doube the expenditure of Rs crore during Targets In , it is proposed to award 21 PPP projects for augmentation of port capacity. These projects mainy reate to construction of additiona berths. An aggregate additiona capacity to the tune of MT woud be generated by these projects. The private sector is expected to invest a sum of Rs crore in The target for dredging for has been set at 52 miion cubic metres. Way Forward 3.14 Severa issues have to be ooked into with regard to Ports sector. There is a need to speed up award of projects reating to capacity augmentation in order to make up for the sow progress witnessed in the past. There is a need to firm up dredging pans and improve the productivity through remova of constraints ike inadequate infrastructure, absence of seamess connectivity with other modes, etc. I n s t i t u t i o n a a n d r e g u a t o r y arrangements need to be reviewed to ensure speedy deveopment of ports. The procedure regarding environmenta cearances needs to be rationaised. 26 Annua Report to the Peope on Infrastructure

38 CHAPTER-5 POWER & NEW AND RENEWABLE ENERGY Introduction 5.1. Power sector has received utmost priority in the successive Five-Year Pans resuting in utiity-based instaed generation capacity rising from 1362 Mega Watt (MW) at the time of independence to about 1,60,000 MW today. Aong with the growth in instaed generation capacity, there has aso been a phenomena increase in the transmission and distribution (T&D) capacity. Athough much has been achieved, shortage of power and ack of access continues to be a major constraint on the economic growth. The enactment of the Eectricity Act in June 2003 was a major miestone which paved the way for deveopment of the power sector within a competitive and ibera framework whie protecting the interests of the consumers as we as creating an environment that was conducive for attracting investments in the sector. Subsequenty, Nationa Eectricity Poicy and Nationa Tariff Poicy were aso formuated to give direction to the power sector within the ambit of the Eectricity Act. The Reguatory framework has been estabished and has been in operation for five to ten years. However, both competition and a robust reguatory regime that supports such competition are sti to be reaised. Targets and Achievements during The targets & achievements in respect of capacity addition, energy generation, transmission ines, and viage eectrification in are given at Tabe 5.1.

39 Capacity Addition 5.4. A net MW was added to the generating capacity during the Annua Pan which was about 66.1 per cent of the target of 14, MW. The Tabe 5.3 summarises beow the capacity additions reaised during Tabe 5.3: Addition in Capacity (MW) Modewise Actua Target Achievement Hydro Therma Nucear Tota Reasons for shortfa in capacity addition during Some of the factors that contributed to shortfa/deay in commissioning of projects were: Deay and non-sequentia suppy of materia for Main Pant and Baance of Pants (BoP) Shortage of skied manpower for erection and commissioning Contractua dispute between project deveoper and contractor and their subvendors/sub-contractors Inadequate depoyment of construction machinery Shortage of fue Probem of and acquisition Deay in erection of infrastructure faciities ike reiabe construction power suppy & roads at project sites etc. Capacity addition during A capacity addition target of 20,359 MW comprising MW therma, 1346 MW hydro and 1220 MW nucear has been proposed for Generation 5.7. The tota generation envisaged for was Biion Unit (BU), about 1.96 per cent higher than the target for the preceding year The generation programme for incuded 6.56 BU from the Chukha, Kurichu, and Taa Hyde Projects in Bhutan. The source-wise generation targets and achievements for are summarised in Tabe 5.4. Tabe 5.4: Source-wise Eectricity Generation (Miion Units) Parti cuars Actua Target Achievement Hydro (92.37%) Therma (Coa) (489113) (525130) (98.77%) (514496) (97.98%) Nucear (98.18%) Import from Bhutan (81.37%) Tota (97.68%) 5.8. As can be seen from Tabe 6.4, there was shortfa in the case of hydro generation due to scanty rainfa and the margina shortfa of 1.23 per cent in therma generation, which was compensated by increased generation from gas based projects. 36 Annua Report to the Peope on Infrastructure

Monitoring mechanism for suppy of coa to power stations on daiy basis The coa suppy position to therma power stations is monitored by the Centra Eectricity Authority (CEA) on a daiy basis. Generation Target during MoP has proposed a generation target of 8,30,769 Miion Units (MU) which is 5.26 per cent higher over the (Target) and 7.73 per cent higher over actua generation of Coa and gas requirement for power sector 5.12 Out of the tota instaed power generation capacity of 1,59,400 MW, in the country 84,198 MW was coa / ignite based, that is 53 per cent of the tota capacity, as on 31March Out of tota generated power, around 67 per cent comes from coa fired power stations. Due to shortage of coa, there has been oss of generation ranging from 1.6 BU in to about 11 BU in , On the other hand, the overa Pant Load Factor (PLF) of Therma power stations in the country has improved over the years. Out of 78 therma power stations, 35 therma power stations achieved PLF higher than 90 per cent (out of these 11 power stations achieved more than 100 per cent PLF) To ensure coa and gas avaiabiity, foowing steps have been initiated: Setting up of coa washeries for reducing burden on raiways and to improve efficiency of power stations Deveopment of adequate port, raiways and roads infrastructure for transportation of coa to power projects Deveopment of speciaised port/ jetties we-equipped with coa handing infrastructure Deveopment of Dedicated Freight Corridor Expeditious deveopment of coa bocks: Deveopment of coa bocks by Coa India Limited (CIL) in Pubic Private Partnership (PPP) mode through pricebased bidding is suggested Intensification of exporation and production activities for gas and coa Setting-up of Liquefied Natura Gas (LNG) terminas New Initiatives Utra Mega Power Projects A major initiative in addition to power generation capacity is the programme of Utra Mega Power Projects (UMPPs). So far, four UMPPs of 4000 MW each have Annua Report to the Peope on Infrastructure

41 been awarded on the basis of competitive tariff-based bidding. Out of these, five units of 800 MW each are under construction at Mundra UMPP. Order for another UMPP at Sasan (6x660 MW) has been paced. Orders for Boier & T.G. sets for other two UMPPs (Krishnapatnam & Tiaya) are yet to be paced. Five more super critica UMPPs have been panned and concerted efforts are required for these capacities to come up in the Twefth Pan. An important eement of this programme is that super critica technoogy has been stipuated thus initiating and buiding on the important shift to energy efficiency. Emergence of Natura Gas as preferred fue Due to its inherent benign nature, easy transportabiity, ease of use, greater efficiency and cost effectiveness of power pants, natura gas has emerged as the preferred fue for power generation. The ast two decades have seen a sharp rise in the goba demand for natura gas. However, the suppy of natura gas in the power sector has not kept pace with demand. Empowered Group of Minister (EGOM) has aocated 30 Miion Metric Standard Cubic Metre per Day (MMSCMD) additiona gas suppies to power projects besides the existing aocation of domestic gas. With this, currenty aocation of gas to the power sector comes to around 65 MMSCMD. This has faciitated increase in eectricity generation from the gas based power pants consideraby. Suppy of gas from LNG termina is currenty around 36 MMSCMD and is ikey to increase to 70 MMSCMD by the end of Eeventh Pan. Avaiabiity of gas from the domestic resources as we as from LNG terminas set up in the country woud be adequate to meet the needs of the existing capacity and the capacity addition in the Eeventh Pan.

42 Rajiv Gandhi Grameen Vidyutikaran Yojana (RGGVY) The rura eectrification under Bharat Nirman is being impemented through Rajiv Gandhi Grameen Vidyutikaran Yojana (RGGVY). The target under Bharat Nirman was to cover 1,25,000 uneectrified viages out of which 25,000 were to be covered by Ministry of New and Renewabe Energy through non-conventiona sources. RGGVY was aunched in March 2005 with the goa to provide access to eectricity to a househods, eectrification of about 1.15 akh un-eectrified viages and eectricity connections to 2.34 crore Beow Poverty Line (BPL) househods by RGGVY was approved for continuation in the Eeventh Pan. The scheme provides 90 per cent capita subsidy for the projects. Status of eectrification 5.18 A states participating in RGGVY have notified their rura eectrification pan and notified formation of District Committees. The target set for was to eectrify 17,500 un-eectrified viages against which 18,374 viages were eectrified during the year. Year-wise RGGVY targets and achievements of eectrification of un-eectrified viages and reease of connections to BPL househods are given in Tabe Whie the progress under viage eectrification is about 81 per cent and is picking up, the progress under BPL househod coverage is far beow the target. For the Annua Pan , a target of 17,500 of viage eectrification and 47 akh BPL Househods has been kept. Restructured- Acceerated Power Deveopment and Reforms Programme (R-APDRP) The focus of the R-APDRP programme is on actua demonstrabe performance in terms of AT&C oss reduction. Projects under the scheme are to be taken up in two parts. Part-A is the projects for estabishment of baseine data and IT appications for energy accounting / auditing & IT based consumer service centres and Part-B is reguar distribution strengthening projects.

Year-wise progress achieved on R-APDRP is given in Tabe Way Forward Generation It is cear that achieving a quantum jump in capacity addition is going to be a major chaenge. Presenty, the monitoring is done at the eve of Centra Eectricity Authority (CEA). The Power Project Monitoring Pane (PPMP) with the Ministry of Power is being used for periodic zone-wise review of the programme for quick remova of bottenecks. It has been recommended that the webbased MIS used by NTPC for its Dadri Pant shoud be used for monitoring project impementation programme of a new pants. Indigenous manufacturing capacity for super critica unit suppiers, both in pubic and private sectors is being incentivized. Poicy measures need to be initiated to encourage setting up of open cyce gas based pants for meeting peak demand. Differentiated tariff for peak and off-peak suppy wi encourage the investors to buid such pants. Transmission: Estabishment of gas-insuated substations shoud be promoted to bring down the pressure on and acquisition. Transmission of power requirements shoud be reassessed in view of open access requirements. Private investments in transmission projects shoud be activey promoted. Distribution: The distribution sector requires a robust and reiabe MIS to overcome existing information and capabiity deficiencies. Distribution utiities that have been proactive in measurabiity, accountabiity and governance have performed significanty better than others in finance and operation. The distribution sector requires substantia improvements in business panning and forecasting to manage its finances and operations better.

Much of the present cost probems are on account of poor power procurement, panning and contract management Improvement of network forecasting, panning and execution skis on an acceerated pace is required. Networks need to be strengthened to ensure that power distribution capabiities are adequate and efficient. Studies demonstrate that the present eves of technica osses in the networks are unacceptaby high in some of the arge states. Customer service and management methods need to be improved substantiay for greater consumer satisfaction and overa reduction in service costs. This woud aso faciitate in impementing cost refective tariffs and timey payments from consumers. Adequate emphasis needs to be paced on quaity and monitoring of the Restructured APDRP programme interventions and outputs. There shoud be greater focus on the rights of the customer. There are documented cases of the distribution utiities switching off suppies to their own customers to se power at profit in the short-term power market saes. Suppy obigations shoud be enforced and utiities shoud not be aowed the discretion of cutting off customers to se in the power market. NEW AND RENEWABLE ENERGY The estimated medium-term (up to 2032) potentia for renewabe energy in the country from wind, sma hydro, soar and biomass has been assessed at 88,000 MW, which incudes the potentia from wind (48,500MW), sma hydro (upto 25 MW station capacity) (14,000MW), biomass (crop residues & bagasse) (21,500MW), and urban & industria wastes (3,800MW). In addition, there is the theoretica potentia of soar power generation of 600,000 MW India is among the top rankers in the instaation of grid interactive renewabe power pants. A cumuative grid-interactive power generation instaed capacity of around 16,817MW from various renewabe energy sources mainy wind, sma hydro, biomass and soar energy has aready been set up. This corresponds to over 9 per cent of the tota power generation instaed capacity from a sources in the country Constraints in exporation of renewabe energy sources: Inherent intermittent nature of renewabe energy sources eading to ow capacity utiisation factors ranging from about 17 per cent to 70 per cent, depending on resource and ocation; Grid synchronisation imitations on account of intermittent nature of suppy; Reativey higher capita investment compared to conventiona power projects; and Annua Report to the Peope on Infrastructure

45 Requirement of preferentia tariffs apart from other fisca and/or financia concessions to make investment in renewabe power a commerciay attractive proposition Poicy /incentives framework The impementation of the wind, sma hydro, soar and biomass programmes for power generation from renewabe energy sources is being promoted mainy with private investment, backed by various fisca and financia incentives that incude capita/ interest subsidy, acceerated depreciation and ni/ concessiona excise and customs duties. Under the Eectricity Act 2003, it has been made obigatory upon State Eectricity Reguatory Authorities to fix a minimum percentage for purchase of eectricity from renewabe sources taking into account oca factors. Severa states have announced such renewabe energy purchase obigations. Preferentia tariff for grid interactive renewabe power is being given in most potentia states foowing the provisions made under the Nationa Eectricity Poicy (NEP) and Nationa Tariff Poicy Normative guideines by Centra Eectricity Reguatory Commission (CERC) for fixing preferentia tariffs have aso been issued recenty. State Eectricity Reguatory Commissions (SERCs) in 17 states have announced preferentia tariff for purchase of power In case of Soar power projects, it is envisaged that NTPC Vidyut Vyapar Nigam Ltd. (NVVN), a whoy owned subsidiary company of NTPC, engaged in the business of trading of power wi be designated as the noda agency by the MoP for entering into a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with Soar Power Deveopers. The PPAs sha be signed with the deveopers setting up soar projects within next three years (i.e. upto March 2013) and are connected to the grid at 33 KV eve and above. The PPAs wi be vaid for a period of 25 years. For each MW of soar power instaed capacity for which PPA is signed by NVVN, MoP sha aocate to NVVN an equivaent amount of MW capacity from the unaocated quota of NTPC stations. NVVN wi bunde this power and se this bunded power at a rate fixed as per CERC reguations. In case of significant price movement in the market rate, the Government wi review the situation. When NVVN suppies the bunded power to distribution utiities, those distribution utiities wi be entited to use part of the bunded power to meet their Renewabe Purchase Obigation (RPO), as determined by the reguatory authorities. Progress Wind Power A pan target of generating 2500 MW through wind energy was fixed for the Annua Pan against which 1565 MW was achieved. The cumuative achievement during the first three years of the Eeventh Pan is 4714 MW. The target set for the Annua Pan for wind power is 2000 MW. Sma Hydro Power So far 709 sma hydropower projects (SHP) aggregating to 2,595 MW have been set up in various parts of the country, of which 201 SHP projects with an aggregate 42 Annua Report to the Peope on Infrastructure

47 CHAPTER-6 TELECOMMUNICATION AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY Department of Teecommunication Introduction 6.1 Word-cass information and communication infrastructure is a crucia eement in the rapid economic and socia deveopment of a country. The teecom industry in India, ed by the private sector has seen rapid expansion making its vast network second ony to China. The industry is now poised to take a further eap towards better technoogy and service deivery. The introduction of Third Generation (3G) teecom services is expected to open new frontiers in high speed data communications and Mobie Number Portabiity which is ikey to be roed out soon wi make the market more competitive. Internet users wi be abe Figure 6.1 Affordabiity and reach of mobie phones in India to downoad information in buk quantity in a short time. Besides, the deveopments wi ead to generation of better revenue. 6.2 Indian teecom industry manufactures the compete range of teecom equipment but is unabe to meet the growing demand. The industry reies much on imported teecom equipment. Nevertheess, expansion of the industry provides exceent opportunities for the domestic and foreign investors to come into the manufacturing sector. Achievements during Neary 14 to 18 miion new connections are added each month. By September 2009, the industry had aready achieved the Annua Pan target of 500 miion connections. The present teedensity is more than 53 per cent with miion connections (as on Apri 2010), which has been propeed by wireess subscribers growing at a compound annua growth rate (CAGR) of 60 per cent per annum since Provision of Viage Pubic Teephones (VPTs) to cover the not-covered viages has been undertaken under the Universa Service Obigatory Fund (USOF). 6.4 The performance of the pubic sector undertakings (PSUs) in the teecom industry during is as foows: 44 Annua Report to the Peope on Infrastructure

48 Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL): As on March 2010, BSNL has provided akh teephone connections against a target of 165 akh, akh broadband connections (as on 28 Feb 2010) against a target of 25 akh and 30,698 Route Kiometer (RKm) (as on 28Feb 2010) of Optica Fibre Cabe (OFC) aying against a target of 25,500 RKm. Mahanagar Teephone Nigam Limited (MTNL): As on March 2010, the number of new connections incuding Wireess Loca Loop (WLL) and Ceuar stands at 5.35 akh against the target of 10 akh. The Switching capacity incuding WLL & Goba System for Mobie (GSM) stands at 6.69 akh (as on 28 Feb 2010) against a target of 10 akh. Depoyment of Digita Subscriber Line Access Mutipexer (DSLAM)/ Fibre-To-The Home (FTTH) Ports is 2.29 akh (as on 28 Feb 2010) against a target of 5 akh ports; Laying of OFC 41, RKm (as on 28Feb 2010) against target of 1,20,000 RKm. 6.5 Both these PSUs face stiff competition from the private sector. Their ate entry into the wireess services has aso contributed to their smaer market share. As compensation, the government has permitted the PSUs to provide 3G services ahead of the spectrum auction. This initiative is expected to hep improve the market share of these PSUs. 6.6 Centre for Deveopment of Teematics (C-DoT), an R&D estabishment under Department of Teecommunications (DoT) has undertaken major projects in in addition to its reguar R&D work. These incude the Centraised Monitoring System (CMS) reated to security management for aw enforcement agencies and Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) technoogy depoyment in the Indian Navy. 6.7 Six additiona monitoring stations at Bhubneshwar, Dehradun, Lucknow, Patna, Raipur and Vijayawada were set up during by the Wireess Monitoring Organization. 6.8 Vacation of spectrum and its reease by the defence services has been taken up on priority by the government. This has been done by providing aternate communication network based on Optica Fibre Cabe (OFC). Instaation works of OFC and other infrastructure for a the sites of Air Force have been undertaken and are expected to be competed soon. 6.9 The Annua Pan set a target for 40 miion Internet and 20 miion broadband subscribers. Athough broadband subscribers grew from a meagre 0.18 miion in March 2005 to about 8.77 miion, in February 2010, it was sti short of the year s target. Presenty broadband connections are avaiabe in 4,044 cities, 5,431 bock headquarters and 613 district headquarters incuding 1,37,321 viages. Nevertheess, broadband connectivity is ikey to get a boost with the auctioning of spectrum for Broadband Wireess Access (BWA) Service and setting up of Common Service Centres (CSCs) under the Nationa e-governance Pan (NeGP) Undersea cabing between the mainand and Andaman & Nicobar Isand Annua Report to the Peope on Infrastructure

Poicy issues 6.14 In order to achieve the objectives of the teecom sector, proper and conducive poicy initiatives need to be introduced by the Government for the expansion of rura teecom network and expansion of broadband and Internet services, manufacturing of teecom equipment and research and deveopment in teecommunications. A few of the poicy initiatives taken up by the Department are given beow: Re-framing of the RF spectrum keeping in view the needs of various stakehoders. Poicy for bringing in atest technoogies (ike 3G to 4G etc.) in a seamess manner. Sharing of infrastructure by the service providers and incentivizing such sharing to bring down the overa costs of operation. Way Ahead 6.15 For rapid rura network expansion and broadband penetration, private domestic investment as we as Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) wi be encouraged The strengthening of domestic teecom manufacturing sector is required for the high teecom growth in the country. Currenty, majority of the demand for teecom equipment is met through imports. Nevertheess, the Nationa Teecom Poicy encourages setting up of manufacturing hubs in India. This cas for better investment in this area Though urban tee-density has crossed 119 per cent mark, rura tee-density remained at 24 per cent at the end of March, In order to improve rura tee-density the foowing is required: Greater synergy between a Government departments incuding Department of Space, service providers, infrastructure providers and the state governments Promoting sharing of infrastructure (active as we as passive) Identification of new spectrum bands for 46 Annua Report to the Peope on Infrastructure

50 roout of broadband services in the rura areas Broadband service is important not ony for the overa GDP growth but aso for improving the quaity of ife through its socia appications such as tee-education, tee-medicine, e-governance, as we as empoyment generation. For greater penetration of broadband, avaiabiity of affordabe access device, issues regarding connectivity and oca content wi have to be addressed Right of Way (RoW) procedure is one of the major impediments in aying wire ine infrastructure. Before aying the cabes, the operators have to approach municipaities/ oca authorities for obtaining RoW, which not ony deays the ro out pans of the service providers but aso increases their costs. Moreover, charges that municipaities/ oca authorities evy for granting RoW are not uniform across the country. Teecom Reguatory Authority of India (TRAI) has recommended that a committee be formed at district eve to study RoW requirement and it shoud evove a duct-sharing mechanism among service providers. The Centra government shoud aso consider mandating the state governments to adopt uniform RoW procedures and streamine/rationaise RoW cost impementations. A uniform RoW framework may require a mode approach The state of power suppy continues to be a key concern in rura areas. A arge number of viages either do not have eectric connections or have a very imited power suppy. A battery backup is not a sustainabe soution as they need to be charged reguary. Direct powered generators are an option but these have to be maintained through power Base Transceivers Stations (BTS). It is estimated that over 35 per cent of the rura site s network operating expenses are due to costs associated with eectricity and diese. Power suppy concerns in the rura areas coud be addressed through exporing the viabiity of aternate source of fue, incuding soar energy, wind power, bio-fues and energy efficient BTS system. Department of Information Technoogy 6.21 A robust communication corridor is the first and foremost requirement for successfu impementation of the e-governance projects being undertaken through the department s Nationa e-governance Pan (NeGP). It is a we recognised fact that high speed, high capacity, reiabe intra-state and interstate network connectivity is essentia to deiver Government to Government (G2G), Government to Business (G2B) and Government to Citizen (G2C) services, especiay for a vast country ike India. Goas/Programmes/Targets and achievement during The major programmes of DIT encompass the areas of e-governance, e-innovation, e-education, and e-security. The main components of the infrastructure deveopments under the Department of Information Technoogy contains core infrastructure under NeGP, Standardisation Testing and Quaity Certification (STQC), Cyber Security & Education & Research Network (ERNET).

As many as 1,00,000 CSCs are expected to be estabished by September The State Data Centre (SDC) is envisioned to be a shared, reiabe and secured infrastructure created at the state/ UT eve for hosting and managing the e-governance appications for state and its constituent departments. The services hosted at SDC is expected to be rendered by the state through a common deivery patform seamessy supported by the core connectivity infrastructure i.e. State Wide Area Network (SWAN) and CSC extending up to viage eve. This common infrastructure woud thus obviate the need for each state department to create a separate and dedicated infrastructure of its own.
