Initial Screening Report (Ma 4) Industrial Projects - Bhilwara

Top Sheet for ISR: Industrial Projects Bhilwara

Title Description

Background Bhilwara accounts for about 47% of the net valued

added of textiles in Rajasthan. Textiles and RelatedProducts are among the most significant contributors

to the state income (about 25% of net value addition of

registered manufacturing in Rajasthan). For textile

processing units, water is one of the most critical

inputs and there is currently no organized mechanism

for meeting the industrial water demand.

The Project It is proposed to set-up an Industrial Water Supply

Project and Common Effluent Treatment Plant

(CETP) for Bhilwara

Project

Objectives and

Scope

The two industrial projects are aimed at meeting the

water requirements of the existing 27 units in Bhilwara

besides reducing the effluent discharge level to within

prescribe limits

Project Demand

Drivers

The existing water requirement of industries is

approximately 18 MLD and 4 MLD is required by the

new growth centre in Hamirgarh

Project cost

estimate

The project is estimated to cost Rs. 20.9 crore

Opportunitiesfor private

sector

The cost of transportation of treated water, tertiarytreatment & CETP should be shared by the industry

and municipality. The CETP should be run by the

industry association

Project Risk

Assessment

There is construction risk involved in CETP as the

processing units are located in different regions. Also

water may not be enough to draw for industrial

purpose from the drinking water supply scheme.

Project Viability The project can be made viable and set up by the state

by seeking assistance from centre under its various

schemes for textile sector.Project

1. Project Concept

Background to Bhilwara

Bhilwara district lies on the south eastern part of Rajasthan. It extends

from 2501 to 250 58 north latitude and from 740 1 to 750 28 east

longitude. The city enjoys a fairly high degree of accessibility. The

district is bounded by district Ajmer in North, Chittaurgarh in South,

Rajsamand in west and Bundi in East. The geographical area of the

district is 1047451 hectares and covers approx 3.05% area of the

state. There is only one main seasonal river in the district Banas.

This river rises in the Aravali hills in the North in the Udaipur district.

The river Banas enters the Bhilwara district near village Doodiya in

tehsil Bhilwara. It approaches the hills of Mandalgarh and is joined by

the river Berach on the right bank and Kothari on the left. The chief

feeders of the river are Mansi, Khari, Kothari and Berach.

As per the 2001 census, the total population of the district is 20.09

lacs. 80% of the population resides in rural areas. The district has 8

towns which include Bhilwara, Shahpura, Jahazpur, Mandal, Asind,

Bijoliya Kala, Mandalgarh and Gulabpura. The district has largely anagrarian workforce and approximately 74% of the total workforce is

engaged in agriculture and related activities.

Bhilwara city is one of the most important industrial centres in

Rajasthan. The region is the hub of textile industries in the state and

Bhilwara is well known as Textile City. Before independence, it was

famous for its mica, soapstone and sandstone mineral products at

international level. In 1978 when the District Industrial Centre (DIC)was established, only 1059 small scale industries were registered.

However by March 2002 this figure has risen to 12739. Besides

textiles, insulation bricks, A.C. Conductors, tractors & compressors,

china clay, 'Hozari' Products, fertilizers and 'Niwar' Industries are other

main industries in Bhilwara.



4/62

Bhilwara is a developing city and the development has taken place in

a very irregular manner. The random development of the city has

created a barrier towards development of proper infrastructure and

civic facilities. The main problems are arising out due to shortage ofhousing, growth of Kachhi Bastis, inadequate transport facilities, lack

of drainage and solid waste management and shortage of

infrastructure such as sewerage, water supply, inefficient road network

etc.

RIICO has developed 10 industrial areas having 1172 plots. The major

industrial areas are Bhilwara Phase I, II, III and IV, Bhilwara

Extension, Bigod (Mandalgarh), Jahazpur, Raila, Mandpiya and KanyaKheri. RIICO has also proposed a new Growth Centre at Hamirgarh in

the district. Majority of the industrial areas depend on ground water

source for water supply. The rate of depletion of ground water in

Bhilwara is amongst the highest in Rajasthan.

Bhilwara accounts for about 47% of the net valued added of textiles in

Rajasthan. Textiles and Related Products is among the most

significant contributors to the state income (about 25% of net valueaddition of registered manufacturing in Rajasthan). The textiles

industry also accounts for as much as 97% of the total net value

added of the district, thereby highlighting the importance of this

industry to the economy of Bhilwara as well as Rajasthan

For textile processing units, water is one of the most critical inputs.

The total water requirement of processing units in Bhilwara city is

estimated to be 18 MLD (million litres per day) while the water

requirement for the new growth centre is estimated to be

approximately 4 MLD. There exists no system of providing water to

these processing units. Most units are dependent on purchase of

water from private tanker operators. For the survival of the existing

textile units as well as to attract new industries, an organized system

of water supply would be required.



5/62

Page 4


It is therefore proposed to set-up an Industrial Water Supply Project

for Bhilwara. Besides meeting the demand for existing textile units,

this project would cater to future industrial development in the region.

There are presently 22 processing houses and 8 dye houses in

Bhilwara. Out of these, 22 process houses and 5 dye houses are

located within Bhilwara city itself. Most of these units have their own

Effluent Treatment Plant (ETP) with installed primary, secondary and

tertiary treatment facilities. Rajasthan State Pollution Control Board

has set the condition of zero effluent discharge on textile units.

Current objective served by the ETP is to recycle water to make it

reusable by the units. Currently only about 30% to 45% of the effluentcan be recycled. Some of the older units are permitted to discharge

only upto 30% of the discharge. Given the zero effluent discharge

norm of RPCB, a common ETP would help to ensure that these units

continue to function through ensuring recycling the entire effluent

discharge. It is therefore proposed that a Common Effluent

Treatment Plant (CETP) be set-up. A part of the treated water can be

recycled to be used by the industries while the remaining could be

discharged into the Banas river to recharge the ground water supply.Thus besides reducing the industrial effluents, the CETP would also

assist in meeting the industrial water requirements for the textile units.

2. Project Beneficiaries.

The textile industry in Rajasthan contributes to about 40% of the

country's export of total synthetic blended yarn. There are

approximately 34 large and medium scale units in Bhilwara districtwith an investment of Rs. 943.52 crore and providing employment to

approximately 20677 people. Textile units constitute a majority of

these industries and they are located primarily in and around Bhilwara

city. The major beneficiaries of the proposed Industrial Water Supply

Project and CETP are:



6/62

Page 5


Textile Units: The two industrial projects would directly benefit the

processing and dye houses in Bhilwara. Besides reduction in the

effluent discharge, the water requirement for these units would be

augmented to a large extent State Government: Bhilwara is an important industrial region for

the state. Besides revenue in the form of direct and indirect taxes

from textile related businesses, the region provides employment to

a majority of the population and earns valuable foreign exchange

through exports. Setting-up the industrial projects would assist in

future industrial growth in Bhilwara and benefit the existing

industries.

3. Demand.

The existing waster supply sources (Dams) are not receiving sufficient

water even to meet the city drinking water demand of Bhilwara town.

Further the inadequate rainfall has made the situation worse. The

Ground Water Table (GWT) position within a few years has dropped

from 100 ft. to 600 ft. The Public Health Engineering Department

(PHED) is providing drinking water either on alternate day or once in

three days. PHED is able to supply only 7 MLD water to meet city

requirement from many sources against the desired demand of 28

MLD @100 lpcd (litres per capita per day). Considering the deficient

water supply in the city, a new project of approximately Rs. 30 crore is

undertaken by PHED in Kankroliya Ghati on Banas river, which will

ensure 18 MLD of drinking water to the city.

It is proposed that the drinking water supply project also have a

component for industrial water supply to meet the demand of the

textile units.Bhilwara industrial water demand is substantial due to the

presence of 30 large to medium scale textile industries in and around

Bhilwara city. Water is one of the most important constituents of the

textile processing industry. The total water requirement of processing

units in Bhilwara city is estimated to be 18 MLD (million litres per day)

while the water requirement for the new growth centre in Hamirgarh is



7/62

Page 6


estimated to be approximately 4 MLD. Over the last few years, the

water demand of the industries was not met. Currently, the processing

industries are meeting their water demand by their own sources as

described below:

Own Tube well source (Industry) - 4.705 MLD

From Rented sources - 2.99 MLD

From Private Tankers - 2.06 MLD

By Recycling (ETP) - 8.19 MLD

- 17.945 MLD

But in future it will be difficult to meet this water supply also. In the

water scarce zones, it will be advisable to consider recycling the

treated water from a domestic waste water treatment plant for

industrial purposes. This will not only diminish the fresh water demand

of the industry but will also help in conservation of the fresh water for

potable use. Though the total water demand of an industry can not be

met with the treated waste water effluent, but certain demands like

use in boilers, gardening, floor washing and other similar uses can be

met easily.

The quality of water required depends on its end use or uses. The

tolerances for various impurities vary according to these use, the

quality of water require in each case may differ greatly. Considering all

these facts, it can be considered that treated effluent of from a

Sewerage Treatment Plant (STP) can be used for industrial purposes

after further tertiary treatment. The tertiary treatment plant envisaged

shall be able to bring down the biological oxygen demand (BOD) &

total suspended solids (TSS) levels of the STP effluent to 5 mg/l and

10 mg/l respectively. The effluent can be finally disinfected to bring



8/62

Page 7


down coli form levels for human handling. Industries could use the

treated effluent as per their different requirement.

Note: The above views on demand are based upon discussions withlocal industry associations, processing units and government

departments. As this report is a preliminary report (detailed primary

survey is not part of the scope of work), the same should be

undertaken before finalization of the project concept.

4. Project Components and Cost Estimates.

The Kankroliya Ghati water supply project is aimed to augment thedrinking water supply for Bhilwara town. The project would also link up

seven villages between the water source and Bhilwara town and meet

their drinking water requirements. The total project cost is estimated to

be Rs. 29.13 crore. HUDCO would provide a loan of Rs. 23.5 crore

for the project, while the remaining Rs. 5.63 crore would be borne by

the state government. A pipeline of 47 km would be laid down

between Kankroliya Ghati and Bhilwara. This would bring water to the

city and augment its service level from existing 36 lpcd to 100 lpcd.Approximately 19 tubewells are proposed to be dug up in the

Kankroliya Ghati basin. It is proposed that to meet the existing and

future industrial water requirements of Bhilwara, a proportion of the

industrial water requirement should be incorporated in the drinking

water supply project.

Domestic Waste Water Treatment / Disposal

Presently the whole sewage of Bhilwara city is disposed off in Kothari

river situated in the north of city thereby causing pollution to surface &

ground water sources. To protect the river basin a municipal sewerage

treatment plant (STP) of 15 MLD capacity (approx.) is proposed to be

constructed on the right bank of Kothari river. The major influent and

effluent design criteria for this STP shall be follows below:-

Influent Quality



9/62

Page 8


BOD : up to 300 mg/l

COD : up to 700 mg/l

Suspended Solid : up to 600 mg/l

Ammoniacal Nitrogen : up to 35 mg/l as N

Total Phosphates : up to 16 mg/l as P

Sulphates : 30-130 mg/l

TDS : upto 1000 mg/l

Ph : 7.2 7.9

Effluent Quality

The STP will be designed to achieve the following treated sewage

quality standards:

BOD : 30 mg/l or less

Total Suspended Solids : 50 mg/l or less

Industrial Waste Water

There are 27 textile units located within the Bhilwara city itself. Theseinclude 22 processing houses and 5 dye houses. Most of these units

have not been located in a planned manner and are dispersed along

three major routes which are highlighted below:

17 units are located on the Chittaurgarh road. These include 12

process houses and 4 dye houses. One dye unit is currently

closed. These units extend over a distance of 14-15 km

6 units are located on the Bhilwara Udaipur road also known as

the Pur road. There are 4 process houses and I dye unit on this

stretch, while one process unit is currently closed. 3 process

houses are located in the RIICO industrial area while the dye unit

is located in the city area.

4 processing house units are located on the Ajmer road.



10/62

Page 9


The average fabric processing capacity of these 22 units is

approximately 10 lac metres per day. The average water requirement

of the units is approximately 15-17 litres per metres. All 22 units have

good primary and tertiary treatment facilities, while about 50% of theunits have biological treatment facilities to reduce the BOD level. Most

of the dye units use vast land for plantation purposes and the land

requirement is approximately 40% of the total land requirement. The

average discharge from the units is 9000-11000 KL/day, which is

roughly 60% of the total intake of water. The water used for

processing in Bhilwara has very high totally dissolved solids (TDS).

This TDS reduction is not possible by conventional means and

requires expensive techniques like reverse osmosis or electro dialysis.

The industrial waste water of major industrial area situated on Udaipur

(Pur) road and Chittor road is being discharged in a natural drain &

finally in Gaudi Nala and spreading in fields, thereby causing local

environmental problem.

Major Industrial Area Effluent Quantity

Chittor Road Industry Effluent - 6 MLD

Udaipur Road Industry Effluent - 1.5 MLD

Total - 7.5 MLD

Hence a Common Effluent Treatment Plant (CETP) of 7.5 MLD is

proposed close to river Banas and the treated effluent of CETP could

be discharged into the river or reused for agriculture purposes. To

overcome the shortage of water, it would be possible to reuse the

treated water by pumping it back to the individual units.

Project Cost

The total project cost is estimated to be Rs. 20.9 crore. The break-up

of this cost into various elements is presented below.

STP of 15 MLD near Subhash Nagar & - Rs. 4.95 crore

and Kothari River by (Municipality)



11/62

Page 10


Treated Effluent Transportation costs (Industry) - Rs. 5.5 crore

Sump well & Tertiary Treatment (industry) - Rs. 7.15 crore

CETP of 7.5 MLD for Industry @ Rs. 40 lacs per MLD - Rs. 3.3

crore

5. Project Economics.

The cost of STP should be shared fully by Bhilwara municipality & cost

of transportation of treated water, tertiary treatment & CETP should be

shared by the industry and the municipality. The CETP should be run

by the industry association. The treatment process and exact plant

capacity would be established during the Detailed Feasibility Study

based on quality and quantity of available waste water at the STP site.

6. Suggested Project Structure and Government SupportRequired

The project should be implemented under a public private partnership

with Government of Rajasthan or one of its nodal agencies being a co-

sponsor of the project and the textile industry association of Bhilwara

being the other sponsor. There needs to be government support to the

project and the same can be done by providing land for STP and

CETP and ensuring co-ordination between various government

agencies (like PHED, Ground Water Department, Irrigation

Department, Municipality and Rajasthan State Pollution Control

Board) and industrial association.

Government can also look at raising funds for the project under GoI

schemes. The MOEF (Ministry of Environment and Forests) has set

up a scheme for establishing common effluent treatment plants

(CETP) in clusters of small industry units .The scheme is executed

through the Central Pollution Control Board in association with the

State Pollution Control Boards. About 7 CETP projects have been

approved under the scheme and these are at various stages of

implementation. The state government should pursue the same with

the central government to set-up the CETP in Bhilwara.



12/62

Page 11


The state can also seek assistance from the centre under its various

schemes for textile sector. The central governments Textile Centres

Infrastructure Development Scheme (TCID) which is a part of the driveto improve infrastructure facilities at potential textile growth centres

and therefore, aims at removing bottlenecks in exports so as to

achieve the target of US$ 50 billion by 2010 as envisaged in the

National Textile Policy, 2000.

Under the scheme funds can be given to Central/ State Government

Departments/ Public Sector Undertakings/ Other Central /State

Governments agencies/recognized industrial association or

entrepreneur bodies for development of infrastructure directly

benefiting the textile units. The fund would not be available for

individual production units. The central assistance will be subject to a

maximum of Rs.20 crores for a particular centre and it would be

limited to 100% of the critical components of the project in respect of

Common Effluent Treatment Plant, improving water supply and

drainage facilities and construction of crche buildings for Apparel

Units. The other components shall be funded on 75:25 between centre

and states / reputed agencies concerned.

7. Assessment of Project Risks.

The various risks that are envisaged in the development of the project

and measures that can be taken to mitigate these risks are highlighted

below:

Construction Risk: Since the industrial areas are dispersed along

three different road stretches, it would be difficult to combine the

industrial waste for the purpose of CETP. Also since there is no

definite estimation on the quantity of water in the Kankroliya Ghati

basin, it would be difficult to incorporate an industrial water component

in the project. This has to be ascertained after a detailed feasibility

Initial Screening Report (M a 5) Integrated Utility Management of Bhiwadi

Top Sheet for ISR: Integrated Utility Management of Bhiwadi

Title DescriptionBackground Although Bhiwadi was promoted as an industrial township and

rapid industrial growth rate has been witnessed in Bhiwadiduring the early 1990s, this has not been associated withmatching infrastructure facilities and as a result there has beenconsiderable slowdown in investment in the region. Further, withthe proposed development of industrial model township byHaryana Government in Manesar, the attractiveness of Bhiwadihas been further eroded. To reverse this trend there is an urgentneed to improve the infrastructure availability at Bhiwadi.

The Project Integrated utility management, including the followingcomponents: 1) System for wastewater and storm waterdisposal, 2) Sewerage system, 3) Solid waste management, 4)General Environmental Improvement, 5) Rainwaterconservation, etc.

ProjectObjectivesand Scope

The overall objective of integrated utility management project isto develop quality industrial infrastructure in Bhiwadi, so as toenhance the industrial potential of Bhiwadi by easing some ofthe constraints being faced by industrial units.

ProjectDemandDrivers

Improper drainage and disposal of wastewater has resulted inwater logging and contamination of groundwater and sub-soil.There is also no closed underground sewerage system in thetown currently, and there is a requirement for a solid wastemanagement system.

Project costestimate

The total cost of the project is estimated to be Rs. 4950 lakh.

Project RiskAssessment

The main risks include availability of funds for designconsultancy and implementation of works; land acquisition for

major installations such as CETPs, pumping stations, securedlandfill; capacity of the concerned authority to enter into anagreement with the private parties for installation of CETPs, etc.

ProjectViability

Private sector participation can be sought for some of theproposed services, especially for the construction of CETP andconstruction of secured landfill for hazardous waste disposal onDBO basis. A detailed bankable project report should beprepared by a consultant who can be given a lumpsum fee forpreparing the bankable documents for posing to fundingagencies.

ProjectImplementation structure

It is suggested that a Project Implementation Unit (PIU) beformed by drawing specialists in the fields of engineering,industrial waste management, health and environment, from the

concerned departments. The PIU should be headed by a teamleader who will co-ordinate the implementation of the design andimplementation works / activities. A project implementationperiod of 18 months is suggested.

1. Project Concept

Bhiwadi is located in Alwar district, at a distance of about 70 km from

Delhi, on the Delhi-Jaipur National Highway-8. Bhiwadi has grown as

an industrial area town since 1976-77, when it was established with

the assistance of Rajasthan State Industrial and Investment

Corporation Ltd. (RIICO).

Bhiwadi is part of the National Capital Region (NCR), which comprises

the region around and including Delhi, and covers parts of the states

of Haryana, Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh. Within the NCR, Bhiwadi

plays an important role in the economic development of Rajasthan as

well as in decongesting Delhi and Gurgaon.

RIICO has developed Bhiwadi in phases, and at present there are

about 1100 small and medium sized units comprising of automobiles,



17/62


18/62

Page 4


2. Project Beneficiaries

The project beneficiaries include the population of Bhiwadi Industrial

Area and the surrounding villages and township, as also floating

population, mainly from Delhi.

The population of Bhiwadi Industrial Area and the immediate

surrounding villages (5 in number) and township is estimated at over

55,000, while the population of the industrial area and surrounding 17

villages is approximately 1.15 lakh. The floating population from Delhi

and surrounding region is estimated to be 20,000 50,000. So in total,

a population of 1,50,000 (approximately 1 lakh fixed and 50,000floating), covering the industrial area of 2000 acres developed by

RIICO and could be considered to be the project beneficiaries for the

current project.

3. Demand

Mentioned below are the demand drivers for the integrated utility

management project for Bhiwadi.

1. Lack of adequate collection and treatment of wastewater and

storm water: Improper drainage and disposal of wastewater has

resulted in water logging and contamination of groundwater and

sub-soil. Each phase in Bhiwadi has a network of open drains to

collect wastewater from individual industries as well as serve as

storm water drain. These drains collect the wastewater towards

the disposal site located at the west side of the industrial estate

from where it ends up in the low-lying areas, creating unhealthy

and unsanitary conditions for the colonies around it. The collecting

drains are breached at some locations and not all the wastewater

reaches the disposal site. There is thus a need for proper

wastewater and storm water disposal.



19/62

Page 5


Most of the major industries in the region have their own effluent

treatment plants, and some of them claim to reuse most of their

treated effluent for gardening and other purposes in their factory

premises. About 5-6 MLD of combined domestic and industrialwastewater is generated, out of which the domestic component is

estimated to be 55 to 60%. Industrial wastewater quality and

effluent discharge standards are as follows:

Parameters Influent (mg/l) Effluent for irrigation(mg/l)

PH 6.6 6.8 5.5 - 9TSS 115 - 128 < 200

TDS 1600 - 1750 < 2100BOD 192 - 217 < 100COD 562 - 588 < 100

2. Lack of closed underground sewerage system: Currently, Bhiwadi

has no closed sewerage system the sewerage is carried through

open surface drains. There is thus a need for a proper closed

sewerage system for the entire town. This is in line with the need

for projecting Bhiwadi as an Industrial Township as distinct from an

Industrial Area.

3. Other urban infrastructure: There is a need for a proper solid

waste management system, for which a landfill site needs to be

identified and developed. Also, due to the groundwater position,

rainwater conservation measures and other techniques for

recharging groundwater need to be looked at.

4. Project Description and Cost Estimates

This section details the various components described in the previous

section, alongwith preliminary cost estimates.

1. System for wastewater / storm water disposal: The present

system of disposal of effluent in the Sahibi River in Haryana needs



20/62

Page 6


to be avoided as it has and continues to create discord between

the two states.

Recently RIICO (erstwhile BIDA) has initiated a 6 MLD existingCETP for both domestic and industrial waste water. This CETP

has been designed for meeting irrigation discharge standards. This

can be easily upgraded to produce treated effluent suitable for

water stream discharge. It can be recycled for industries reuse

after employing the tertiary treatment as well.

For the other remaining areas such as Chopanki (RL 280 m),

SCIPA (RL-270 m) through Khushkhera (PL-260-252 m), a new

CETP of capacity 6 MLD could be installed on or near Sahibi

riverbank (RL-248m). The water demand of the industries is 1000

gallons/acre/day. The capacity of the CETP comes out to be 6

MLD. The land area required for the CETP shall be approximately

6 acres. It may be mentioned that in Chopanki industrial area only

80% of the area can be covered through a CETP because of the

topographical characteristics of that area and hence RIICO should

ensure that allocation of land to industrial units in the industrial

area is undertaken in such a manner that no polluting industry is

set up in that area.



21/62

Page 7


As new industrial areas such as Khushkhera, Chopanki and

Sarekhurd are yet to be fully developed, the effluent of all the

industries of the new areas could be flowed down in closed conduits

and disposed off in the proposed CETP near Sahibi river in Rajasthan.This new CETP could be integrated into the planned disposal drain at

Industrial Area Khushkhera (see exhibit).

Another option could be to install individual CETPs at Chopanki

and Khushkhera areas but these would only be useful and



22/62

Page 8


The third option could be that Chopanki industrial wastewater of

the tune of 3 MLD is carried to the existing dam, which is close to

Chopanki, and the same diluted water is reused for the Chopanki

Industrial purposes.

Considering all above options / facts, it is suggested that a

combined CETP of 6 MLD be set up near the river for both

Chopanki and Khushkhera areas.

In addition, a storm water disposal system for Bhiwadi is also

proposed, for which the cost is included separately.

2. Sewerage system: A proper closed underground seweragesystem for the entire town is proposed.

3. Solid Waste Management: There is a need for a proper solid

waste management system. This would involve identifying a

sanitary landfill site, carrying out an Environmental Impact

Assessment study, etc. Initial estimates suggest that roughly 25

hectares of land for 20 years period can be acquired for the landfill

site.

4. General Environmental Improvement: It is suggested that

plantation activities with the help of local NGOs be initiated.



23/62

Page 9


5. Rainwater conservation: In order to supplement village water

supply and for recharging groundwater, measures such as building

sub surface dykes, check dam, percolation tanks, recharge

trenches, nalabunds, roof top harvesting etc. are suggested.

A summary of the components described above, and cost estimates

for these, is presented in the exhibit.

5. Project Economics

The total cost of the projects for improvement of sewerage & drainage

systems, hazardous waste disposal and construction of new CETP

are estimated to be Rs. 4950 lakh. The capital cost per person works

out to approximately Rs. 2475, with additional amount of 15% as O&M

charges per annum for maintaining the above-proposed facilities.

Since this investment will be for the total town population for the

design horizon of approximately 30 years, the works could be carried

out in phases.

Private sector participation can be sought for these services especially

for the construction of CETP and construction of secured landfill for

hazardous waste disposal on DBO basis.

A detailed bankable project report should be prepared by a consultant

who can be given a lumpsum fee for preparing the bankable

documents for posing to funding agencies. A success fee should be

offered to the consultants in case they are successful in arranging the

funds.

6. Assessment of Project Risks

On the basis of discussions, the following risks are envisaged for this

project:

Availability of funds for both design consultancy and

implementation of works

Land acquisition for major installations such as CETPs, pumping

stations, secured landfill. The secured landfill site is to be carefully

chosen, with consideration to environmental and other social

factors

Capacity of the concerned authority to enter into an agreement

with the private parties for installation of CETPs, on DBO basis



26/62

Page 12


Environmental Impact Assessment would be required due to large

construction activities

During project development and preparation of detailed reports,

studies should be taken up to determine remedial steps for mitigating

these risks.

7. Structure of the Project and Government Support required

The project is unlikely to attract private investments and yet are critical

for development of Bhiwadi as an Industrial Model Township. Funding

for this project would need to be made through budgetary allocations

and through CSS such as CETP (MOEF) and cluster development

scheme of GoI. It is suggested that a Project Implementation Unit

(PIU) be formed by drawing specialists in the fields of engineering,

industrial waste management, health and environment, from the

concerned departments. The PIU should be headed by a team leader

who will co-ordinate the implementation of the design and

implementation works/ activities.

The following time frame for implementation of the schemes is

suggested:

1. Design, Drawings & Tender Documents - 6 months

2. Construction of sewerage system - 12 months after

Activity-1

3. Construction of CETP & secured landfill - 12 months after

Activity-1

8. Conclusion

As mentioned earlier, the integrated utility management project aims

to develop quality industrial infrastructure in Bhiwadi, so as to enhance

the industrial potential of Bhiwadi. While Bhiwadi has shown strong

growth ever since its establishment, infrastructure for industries has

not kept pace with this growth, and in order to attract more industries



27/62

Initial Screening Report (M a 5) Integrated Utility Management of BhiwadiPage 13


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

infrastructure in the town.

The main components suggested in the project include upgradation ofthe sewerage and drainage (including wastewater and storm water

drainage) systems in Bhiwadi, upgradation of municipal and

hazardous waste management system, and solid waste management

(including cost of landfill site, equipment, etc.) It may be noted that a

component for augmentation of water supply to the (19) villages

surrounding Bhiwadi through creation of a tubewell and Elevated

Storage Reservoir (ESR) in each village along with all accessories /

piping, etc. was also proposed in the initial project profile. However,

based on discussions with RIICO and other government departments

at the round table at Jaipur, it was decided that this component could

be taken up at a later stage given the fact that availability of funds is

likely to be a constraining factor for this project and therefore the need

to prioritise components.

For implementation, government support is envisaged, and for this, it

is suggested that a Project Implementation Unit (PIU) be formed by

drawing specialists from various fields. An implementation time

schedule of 18 months is suggested for the project.

Apart from the above requirements, certain additional projects have

been identified by RIICO as critical for integrated development of

Bhiwadi Region. These include (a) Bhiwadi-Rewari rail link, (b) Earth

Station at I.T Park and (c) Centralised Common Facility for Testing

and Quality Control in Bio-Technology Park. These projects have

been proposed for funding to the Critical Infrastructure Fund of the

State Government.

Initial Screening Report (Ma 6) Industrial Water Supply for Jaipur Page 1


Title DescriptionBackground While Jaipur has been identified as one of the regions in

Rajasthan that are likely to attract the maximuminvestment in the industrial sector, the industrial areas inJaipur face problems relating to quantum and quality of

water for industrial use. The groundwater table has beendepleting rapidly, and so groundwater cannot be a futuresource of water for industries.

The Project This project seeks to meet the urgent need for water forindustries located in Jaipur region, specifically for theSitapura Industrial Area, by drawing water from the mainBisalpur-Jaipur water project through creation of a spurline and other infrastructure for water transmission to thisindustrial area.

ProjectObjectives

and Scope

The project objective is to improve the water supplyscenario for industries in Jaipur region. The options

analysed are: Option A supply recycled water fromSTP to industries, Option B draw water from Bisalpurthrough creation of a spur line to Sitapura.

ProjectDemandDrivers

Most industrial areas in Jaipur region already face awater shortage, and in areas such as Sitapura, there is aproblem relating to water quality as well because of thehigh fluoride content of groundwater.

Project CostEstimate

Option A is not considered feasible and so costestimates have not been worked out. The cost of optionB would be Rs. 4 crore.

ProjectBenefits

Supply of water to the Sitapura Industrial Area wouldease the current problems relating to availability and

quality of water for industrial use. This would thusprovide a boost to the existing and proposed units in thisindustrial area.

Project RiskAssessment

All risk factors that would affect the main Bisalpur project(such as tying up of funding sources, etc.) would alsoaffect this project. In addition, an agreement betweenPHED and RIICO for sharing of Bisalpur water forindustrial use needs to be formalised.

ProjectImplementation structure

The project could most likely be funded from JBIC / otherfinancial institutions, as funding from these sources forthe Part I of Phase I of Bisalpur is yet to be fully tied up.Another option is to obtain funds from the government

budget allocation to the Industries Department. Yetanother option is to recover a part of the cost fromcharging existing industrial units in these industrial areas/ increasing the rates for plots to new units.

1. Background

Jaipur is ideally placed to attract investment in the industrial sector,

given its proximity to large markets (such as those of Delhi, Punjab,and Haryana), location on the NH-8, good transportation linkages, etc.

Infact, Jaipur has been identified as one of the key industrial clusters

in Rajasthan. These clusters are believed to hold most of the future

investment potential in the state. Jaipur also lies on the existing

northern industrial corridor as identified by the NCAER, which extends

into Rajasthan into the districts of Alwar and Jaipur.

The Jaipur region has been divided into four broad industrial areas by

RIICO these are Jaipur (South), Jaipur (North), Jaipur (Rural), and

Sitapura. Each of these in turn consists of several industrial areas.

There are currently approximately 50 medium and large scale running

units in Jaipur, and about 20,000 small-scale units. Jaipur is a center

for industries relating to textiles and related products, agro-based

industries, handicrafts, and basic metals and metal products.

The current availability of water for domestic and commercial

purposes in Jaipur is estimated at 300 MLD (million litres per day), of

which about 10 MLD is obtained from Ramgarh Lake, which is

dependent upon monsoon precipitation in its catchment. This is not a

very reliable source, as the lake has dried up frequently, resulting in

some very difficult water supply conditions especially in the walled

city.

Given the current (2001) population of 23.48 lakh, the above water

availability translates into a gross supply level of about 128 lpcd. As

against the total water supply, there is an estimated water demand of

319 MLD (as of 2001), which is projected to increase to 598 MLD in

2011 and 897 MLD in 2021. The projected water demand in Jaipur is

shown in the figure overleaf.


31/62



Source: PHED, Jaipur

There are over 1000 PHED tubewells in the city through which

groundwater is available. However, there has been a rapid depletion

in the groundwater levels, with the water table declining in large areas

of the city.

It is clear that in the absence of augmentation of water supply, there is

likely to be a large demand-supply gap for water in Jaipur. The only

sustainable solution to the projected water shortage in the future is

therefore augmentation of water supply through a surface water

source. The proposed Bisalpur water supply project is the most likely

solution.

In industrial areas, the water supply is managed by RIICO (except for

the Vishwakarma industrial area, where the responsibility for industrial

water supply was transferred to PHED in the year 1980-81). These

industrial areas currently face water shortages and also problems

relating to water quality.

In order to ensure rapid and sustained development of the industrial

areas in Jaipur, one of the key requirements is availability of adequate


32/62



infrastructure, including water for industrial purposes. This project

profile looks at options on addressing the constraints relating to water

shortage for industrial water supply in Jaipur.

2. Project Need

As mentioned, there has been severe depletion of groundwater in

Jaipur, with the water table going down rapidly. There has been a drop

in the ground water level in Jaipur of up to 22 meters in highly

exploited areas. Recent data on ground water in Jaipur indicates the

following situation:

Recharge 53.34 m cum

Draft 143.98 m cum

Stage of development 269.96%

If this trend continues, the reserves available will not last long unless

an alternative surface water source is commissioned. It is estimated

that around 26 sq. km area will become dry by the year 2006 and that

there will be a reduction of yield of PHED tube wells by 25.5 m.cumper year by then. There has also been an increase in the level of

nitrates in groundwater (in large areas of Jaipur, the level of nitrates

has exceeded 100 ppm, which is the relaxed limit as per norms).

Several industrial areas are also facing problems with respect to water

supply for industrial use (see exhibit overleaf). In areas such as

Sitapura, groundwater availability is a problem, and the fluoride

content in the water is also reportedly higher than that according to

norms. Because groundwater cannot be a future source of water, the

only possible solutions to the water shortage are that treated water

from any Sewage Treatment Plants (STPs) in the area are made

available for industrial purposes or surface water from the Bisalpur

project is diverted for industrial use.


33/62



Source: RIICO, Jaipur

Given the rapid industrialization of Jaipur and adjoining areas, and the

depletion of ground water, the survival of industrial units would depend

upon availability of water and hence there is a need for an industrial

water supply project for Jaipur. The options for augmenting the water

supply for the industrial areas in the city have been analysed in this

project profile.

3. Project Beneficiaries

Implementation of the proposed project is likely to benefit the

industries located in the industrial areas in Jaipur region, especially

the Sitapura industrial area.

There are about 350 units in operation currently in Sitapura. These

units are involved in production of garments, gems & jewellery,

wooden handicrafts, etc. In the future, a larger number of service-oriented industries are expected to come up in this area, particularly in

the EPIP thus the urgent requirement for adequate quantity and

quality of water.

The existing units, as well as units which are likely to start operation,

will be the main project beneficiaries of the current project.

4. Current status of initiatives

The current status of the proposed Bisalpur water supply

augmentation project as well as proposed sewage treatment plant

under the Rajasthan Urban Infrastructure Development project

(RUIDP) is given below:

Bisalpur water supply project: The Government of Rajasthan

has taken the initiative to identify possible alternate sources ofwater for Jaipur, and solve the problem of supply of drinking water

to the city. A dam located at Bisalpur (about 120 km away from

Jaipur) on River Banas (that is a tributary to river Chambal in the

Yamuna Basin) has been constructed. This dam, with a capacity of

906.51 m cum is proposed to be the source for future

augmentation of Jaipur Water Supply. The dam is already being

utilised as a source of water for the city of Ajmer and five other

towns of district Ajmer.

The Bisalpur project is to be implemented in two phases. The first

phase of the project has been designed for a raw water capacity of

1060 MLD and treated water capacity of 1019 MLD. The cost of

the first phase of the project is estimated at Rs. 1100 crore.


35/62



Part I of the first phase, which will be implemented first, has been

designed for a raw water capacity of 540 MLD and treated water

capacity of 400 MLD (360 MLD urban and 40 MLD rural).

Industrial demand for water has been taken at 4% of the totalprojected demand. The estimated cost of part I of the first phase of

the project is Rs. 690 crore, for which the following funding

sources are envisaged:

Asian Development Bank (RUIDP) Rs. 480 crore

JNN / JDA Rs. 30 crore

ARWSP Rs. 25 crore

Plan Budget Rs. 45 crore

Other FIs (JBIC, etc.) Rs. 110 crore

A techno-economic feasibility study of this project has been carried

out through a French consulting firm, SAFEGE. The main findings

of the study, detailing the technical features of the project, are as

follows:

Source: Bisalpur dam located about 120 km south of Jaipur

Intake Pumps: 9 double speed vertical turbine pumps have

been proposed along with the necessary equipment

Raw Water Transmission Mains: A 2400 mm MS transmission

pipeline 1.2 km long, followed by PSCC pipeline for length 7.2

km upto the treatment plant has been proposed

Treatment Plant: To be located at a distance of 8.4 km from

the intake near Surajpura

Treated Water Transmission System: The study recommends

use of MS or PSCC pipes depending on the water pressure.

The alignment for pipes has been chosen to follow a route of

an abandoned railway track for about 65 km

Terminal Point: The terminal point has been recommended at

Balawala, an abandoned railway station south of Jaipur. This

pumping station will also be provided with variable speed


36/62



pumps transferring water from the transmission mains to the

city distribution network

Distribution System: The distribution system will consist of

primary and secondary transfer mains, secondary boosterstations, distribution sector stations, reservoirs and also the

distribution network refurbishment

The proposed alignment for the Bisalpur water supply project is as

shown in the map below and explained in the table overleaf. Tenders

for the main transmission line as well as for the two Central Water

Reservoirs (CWRs) at Ramniwas Bagh and Balavala have already

been floated.

Option A

A possible option for augmentation of water supply to industries in

Jaipur is to consider recycling the treated water from a domestic

sewage treatment plant for industrial purposes. This will not onlyreduce the fresh water demand of the industry but will also help in

conservation of the fresh water for potable use. Water required for

certain purposes such as for use in boilers, gardening, floor washing,

etc. could possibly be met through recycling.

The quality of water required depends on its end use or uses. The

tolerances for various impurities vary according to these uses, and the

quality of water required in each case may thus differ greatly.

As mentioned, a sewage treatment plant is proposed to be

commissioned under RUIDP (at Delawas, south of Jaipur). Supplying

treated water from the latter could be a possible option for augmenting

water supply in Sitapura. However, given the fact that a number of

service-oriented industries are likely to come up in Sitapura (including

at the EPIP), the quality of water that could be made available from

Delawas is not envisaged to be suitable for the requirements of the

units at Sitapura. Also, while an STP already exists in Brahmpuri in

North Jaipur, this is also not considered a viable option mainly

because of its distance from existing industrial areas in the region and

also because the quality of treated water is again not likely to meet the

requirements of the units.

This has therefore not been considered a feasible option in this

project, and supplying water from the Bisalpur project specifically for

industrial usage has been examined as the next (and more feasible)

option.

Option B

This option involves creation of a spur line from the Bisalpur

transmission lines for supply of water to the Sitapura Industrial Area.


39/62



As mentioned, the implementation of the Central Branch into Jaipur

region will be taken up under Part I of Phase I of the Bisalpur project.

For the spur line to Sitapura, there are two possible options for the off-take point this could be at the Airport (on the Eastern Branch) or just

before Sanganer Railway Station. However, work on the Eastern

Branch is only likely to be taken up under Part II of Phase I, i.e. after

October 2006. Therefore, the point where the main transmission line

divides into the three branch lines, i.e. just before the Sanganer

Railway Station, has been taken as the starting point for the spur line

to Sitapura. Both at the starting point of the spur line and where the

main spur line divides into branch lines to supply water to Sitapura (as

shown in exhibit below), reservoirs and pumping stations would need

to be constructed. From these reservoirs, water would be pumped into

the existing reservoirs within Sitapura.

The cost estimates for option B is presented in the table below.

The total cost of option B for augmentation of industrial water supply

works out to Rs. 4 crore.

An option was also considered for creation of a spur line to the

Vishwakarma Industrial Area. For that, the starting point for the spur

line was taken as Amanishah, where the Central Branch terminates.

There would also be need for a reservoir at this point, as well aspumping stations, and these yielded a total cost of Rs. 6 crore.

However, this option has not been considered in this ISR as based on

discussions with RIICO and other government officials, it was decided

that supplying water to the Sitapura Industrial Area was of higher

priority, especially with the proposed Special Economic Zone (SEZ) at

Sitapura, which has already been approved by the central

government. Therefore, in this phase, only industrial water supply to

Sitapura has been considered.

6. Project Economics

The total cost of the suggested option for augmentation of industrial

water supply works out to Rs. 4 crore.

Preliminary cost economics suggest that it may be difficult to consider

involving the private sector to fund this project. Various options forfunding the capital cost of the project have been considered. These

are briefly explained as follows:

Funding from Financial Institutions such as JBIC: As

mentioned, for the main Bisalpur project, one of the sources of

funds includes financial institutions such as JBIC, from which Rs.


41/62



110 crore is envisaged to be obtained as part of Phase I (Part I) of

the project. The augmentation of water supply for industrial areas

should be taken up as part of the Phase I (Part I) of the project,

and so funding from JBIC and other financial institutions could beconsidered for the same as well

Funding from the Government Budget: Some part of the

Government of Rajasthan budget allocation for the Industries

Department could be allocated for the proposed project

Funds from existing industrial units: Another possible source of

funds for the project could be through a charge on the existing

industrial units in the Sitapura Industrial Area. However, it is

understood that the rates for plots paid by existing units already

included a charge for all requisite infrastructure, including water

supply. It may therefore be difficult to implement this option

Increase in plot charges for un-allotted plots: An alternative

could be that RIICO could charge higher rates for plots from new

units (i.e. for the plots which have not been allotted yet), as the

industrial water supply project suggested would significantly

improve the situation with respect to water supply to these units

It would be feasible to recover the O&M cost of the project from the

industries and this could be charged by RIICO. Of the options for

funding of capital cost discussed above, it is recommended that the

first option (funding from Financial Institutions such as JBIC) be

explored as the most feasible option.

Given the criticality of this project, it has been proposed to the Critical

Infrastructure Fund of the State Government for assistance of Rs. 5

crore between 2004-2006.

7. Assessment of Project Risks


42/62



Some of the anticipated risks involved in the suggested project are

listed as follows:

The suggested project should be taken up as part of Phase I (Part

I) of the main Bisalpur water supply project. All the risk factors

affecting Part I of Phase I of the project, including the funding risk

(the fact that all the funding for this project has not been tied up

yet), would also affect the proposed project for augmentation of

industrial water supply.

While the detailed feasibility report for the Bisalpur project takes

into account projected demand for industrial water (at 4% of total

demand), there needs to be a formal agreement between PHEDand RIICO to ensure that water from the Bisalpur project is

allocated/earmarked for industrial purposes as well, for which this

proposed project suggests a possible configuration.

8. Conclusion

A sustainable solution for meeting water requirements for industries in

the Jaipur region is critical for the overall economic development of

the city and the region. This project profile provides a possible

solution, by utilising part of the water from the proposed Bisalpur

project for Jaipur. However, the cost estimates provided in this report

may be refined following detailed technical engineering studies to

finalise the project alignment, pressure, location of reservoirs, etc.,

and therefore the cost of the project.

However, given the criticality of the project, it is important that GoR

takes forward the option suggested here as part of Phase I (Part I) of

the Bisalpur water supply project.

Project Concept Note: Ma-7 Development of Rewari-Bhiwadi Rail Link Page 3

decided to develop Bhiwadi as a major industrial township for which

the "Bhiwadi Industrial Development Authority" has already been

constituted.

A large number of initiatives have been planned and developed for the

region. These include the following:

Development of a multi-modal logistics centre (Dry Port) in

Bhiwadi region

Export Promotion Industrial Park at Tapukra

Special Economic Zone at Chopanki area

Integrated Utility Management of Bhiwadi

In view of the current and projected economic activity in Bhiwadi

region, and the transportation needs to service this activity, there is an

urgent need for connecting Bhiwadi to the nearest broad gauge rail

head at Rewari (in Haryana), situated on the Delhi-Ahmedabad line.

The proposed link does not figure amongst the likely rail projects to be

taken up by Indian Railways (IR) in the foreseeable future and, as

such, GoR deems it fit to explore ways of structuring the above project

for private sector participation, within the applicable regulatory

framework. Such projects in the private sector are being currently

implemented, where IR is participating as a partner in implementation.

Strategic importance of the proposed rail connector

Bhiwadi is connected to the National Highway (NH-8) by a connector

from Daruhera (at a distance of 10 km), a major centre for industrial

development in Haryana. On the east, Bhiwadi is connected by NH-2

to Palwal through a State Highway at a distance of approximately 50

km. Palwal falls on the main Delhi-Mumbai broad gauge line. Thus

Bhiwadi is very strategically located between two important arteries of

north India, and is well positioned to take advantage of these

connectors (see exhibit overleaf).



46/62


Currently, goods movement out of Bhiwadi is entirely carried out using

road transport. However, all the proposed development will be stymied

unless a large scale goods movement artery that offers fast and

efficient connectivity is provided, which is possible only through railbased connectivity.

Proposed Rail Link between Rewari and Bhiwadi

The proposed project is also in line with the NCR Plan, which aims to

develop the sub-regions of NCR, and to facilitate speedy movement of

goods and people through the proposed development of ring railway

connecting all the priority towns of NCR. Bhiwadi along with Rewari (to

its west) and Palwal (to its east) are designated priority towns as per

the NCR Plan, and therefore, rail connectivity is crucial for the

development of the towns of NCR.

Project Implementation

The project could be implemented on a commercial format. Such a

format would enable appropriate state agencies to participate with

private sector investors, with whom an exclusive implementation

institution would be formed. This special purpose vehicle would then

be responsible for the execution of the project, in which the private



47/62


sector partner shall have the majority stake (51 % and above), with

the remaining coming from GoR, Government of Haryana (GoH), and

IR. PDCOR Limited could partner with GoR in developing this project

on a commercial format.

Commercial implementation of the project on a BOT format requires

that a detailed techno-commercial study for the project be carried out.

The project documentation would in fact form the basis of the project

to be financed on a "Project Recourse" basis. The development phase

for the project could include the following:

Preferred option study

Detailed feasibility study

Project structuring & contracting documentation

Management of bidding process and selection of private sector

partner

As part of the project development activities, a number of studies such

as demand estimates, engineering investigations, socio-economic

studies, environmental and social assessment and legal review would

be required to be undertaken in order to position the project for private

sector participation. This would involve the following:

Drafting the Terms of Reference for detailed development studies

Appointment and management of study consultants

Finalisation of project configuration and implementation format

Contract documentation

Setting up implementation structure

Bid process, evaluation and award

Financial closure activities

The time frame for development of the project is estimated at

between Rewari and Bhiwadi is estimated at Rs. 60 crore.

Project Funding

A number of dialogues have been held at various levels for the

development of the project. Based on this, it appears likely that the

National Capital Region Planning Board (NCRPB) would fund 75% of

the total project development expenses, with the balance 25 % being

shared between GoR and GoH.

Project Background

Rajasthan has a large number of important industrial, ceramic,

fertilizers, ferrous and non-ferrous metal mineral deposits. Some keyfacts that highlight the contribution of Rajasthan to Indias mineral

production are:

90% of Indias marble production

70% of Indias sandstone production

70% of Indias flaggy limestone (Kotahstone) production

30% of total value of minor minerals in India

99% of zinc concentrates and 80% of lead concentrates

production in India.

Jaisalmer is one of the most important mineral rich regions in

Rajasthan. The district has good production of limestone, ball clay,

dolomite, gypsum, ochres, siliceous earth, brick earth, etc. The

production and sale value of some key minerals in Jaisalmer is

presented in the exhibit below.

Jaisalmer is the only region in the state where SMS or steel grade

limestone is produced. Extensive deposits of steel grade limestone

have been located near village Sanu in Jaisalmer district where total

reserves of over 550 million tonnes have so far been proved. This isthe most important source of steel grade limestone available in the

country for supply to various steel plants.

Sanu is considered as the best available indigenous source of law

Silica Limestone for Steel making without undue damage to the desert

ecology. RSMML is mining low silica Limestone, a special grade

Limestone called Steel Melting Shop (SMS) Limestone from Sanu

mines. The mining area is a desolate place in the heart of Great Indian

Desert with extreme climatic conditions. SMS grade limestone is then

supplied to various steel plants including those of the Steel Authority

of India Ltd.

The railway link is available only till Jaisalmer, whereas Sanu mines

are located about 60 km from Jaisalmer. Close to 50 lakh tonnes of

steel grade limestone is presently being transported by trucks till

Jaisalmer and sent further to steel plants across the country.

Limestone is being transported in bulk by rail to the five steel plants at

Adityapur, Bhilai, Bokaro, Rourkela and Durgapur. It is also going in

bulk to Surat to the cement plant of Essar by road because currently

there is no broad gauge track from Jaisalmer to Surat.

RSMDC (now RSMML) and RSMML both have mining contracts from

Jaisalmer and both supply to SAIL and Tata Steel. The freight for the

transportation of limestone is paid by SAIL and Tata Steel whereas

the state mining undertakings only act as suppliers and loaders of

limestone.

Transporting limestone by rail would result in considerable savings in

cost compared to road transport. This would benefit the domestic



52/62



limestone and cement industry, as currently import of steel grade

limestone is cheaper.

Therefore it is proposed to construct a new railway line fromJaisalmer to Sanu. The total length of the proposed railway line is

approximately 56 km. This railway line would assist in linking the steel

grade limestone deposits with the main railway head at Jaisalmer and

thus be transported to major steel plants in eastern India. The lime-

yield of Jaisalmer limestone is the highest with only around 2-3%

losses as compared to even imported limestone which has 14-15%

losses in the oxidation process.

Further, based on discussions with RSMML and the mining

department, it has been estimated that there is potential for setting-up

couple of major cement plants in Sanu area of Jaisalmer district of

Rajasthan to make use of fines/rejects generated during the

production of Low Silica Limestone aggregates of specified sizes.

The state should actively seek discussions with railways in setting-up

the railway line. Also the government should approach major steel

plants in terms of estimating their demand and transport price for steel

grade limestone. The project could be constructed on a BOT basis

with RSMML and SAIL being major stakeholders.

Project Concept Note: Ma-9 Development of Filmcity in Rajasthan Page 2

Background

Cinema has been one of the most important audio-visual forms of

communication. Rajasthan, with its rich heritage, offers colourful and

picturesque locales and backgrounds for the film industry to develop inthe state. There is tremendous scope to develop a filmcity in the

state, given that Rajasthan would be well placed to offer various

options for development of sets, which could recreate various

experiences such as rural villages, village haats, palaces, forts,

lakes, etc. These would tap the rich and colourful heritage of the state,

the way of living of its people, etc.

Digital content development is emerging as one of the fastest growingservice segments in the global IT enabled services industry. It caters

to the needs of web site management, developing animated movies,

production of content for new media such as compact disk, digital

versatile disk and products of convergent technologies such as

Internet enabled TV, etc.

The areas that a production house can concentrate on are 2D & 3D

animation/modelling and using Motion Capture Technology, special

effects (morphing, colour correction, blue screen, compositing), editing

(linear and non linear), post-production film scanning recording. One

of the key catalysts in this segment of the market is the availability of

bandwidth, studio capable of integrating various elements such as

graphics, images, animation, sound, and most importantly, the

availability of programming talent.

The advancement of digital technologies is revolutionising the

animation industry. Presently, India corners a mere 0.1 per cent of the

$30 billion global revenues generated by the animated movie sector.

However, the animation industry has immense potential for the Indian

market. Given that the Philippines, China and South Korea dominate

the global market with an 80% share, there is a vast market to be

tapped.



55/62


Given the scope for digital technologies as mentioned above, and

given the rich heritage and beautiful architecture of Rajasthan, the

state is well placed to capitalise on this opportunity. This would also

give a boost to the development of the IT sector in the state.

Project Concept

It is suggested therefore that a designated area could be set up as a

comprehensive and professionally planned film production centre or

filmcity to promote development of Hindi and Rajasthani movies and

television productions.

This would be in the form of a world-class film studio complex, which

would have all the requisite infrastructure required for film shooting

and developing, including the entire range of film pre-production,

production and post-production facilities and services. The filmcity

could potentially include the following:

Production Facilities:

State-of-the-art studios, i.e. shooting stages, of various sizes

(some with readymade sets and others free to create sets of ownchoice) with the most sophisticated world-class equipment to cater

to production of any magnitude

Special (including outdoor) sets, which recreate different

experiences (such as for instance recreated villages, village haats,

gardens, lakes, hills, railway stations, airports, jail for action

scenes, courtroom, swimming pools, etc.)

Set-creation workshops with all facilities and materials (such as

wood, plaster-of-paris, metal, etc.), for recreating different styles of

sets, and also for improvisation of ready-made sets and backlots

Hi-tech laboratories, with production facilities for sound, lighting,

editing, animation, dubbing, etc.

Production equipment such as cameras, special lenses, filters,

Betacam, Digibeta, studio cameras, studio monitors, and a full

range of other video and lighting equipment and accessories



56/62


(including wind and smoke / fog making machines, etc.), as also

film equipment such as motion control and travelling matte

equipment, cranes, etc.

Availability of technical talent for a wide range of productionrequirements

Services such as production / logistics support and scouting,

to cater to specific needs, such as help required for customs co-

ordination, faster cargo shipment, administrative tasks such as

government permission to shoot in distant locales, logistics for

transportation of sets / equipment, etc., and also for scouting for

exotic locales within India

Facilities such as Prop Shop, where different kinds of props would

be available, for use in sets

Post Production Facilities:

Processing: Facilities such as for negatives processing,

projection, grading, positive prints, etc.

Editing: Facilities such as Steenbeck, non-linear editing, etc.

Digital Film facilities such as noise reduction, scratch removal,

colour correction, scanning / recording, restoration, etc.

Audio facilities such as track laying, music scoring, restoration,

etc.

Other Facilities:

Accommodation facilities (hotels, etc.) both luxury and budget

accommodation

Travel Agency for domestic and international travel bookings,

airport pickups, car rentals, etc.

Communication department to ensure smoother and faster

communication facilities to provide film makers a hassle-free

environment to shoot



57/62



Separately designed office complex for the production team. This

complex would have state-of-the-art communication facilities and

other infrastructure

Conferencing facilities including conference rooms, state-of-the-art presentation systems, tele-conferencing facilities, and

advanced communication support systems

Scope for creative theme parties against various backdrops

The filmcity could be set up at any of the major cities of Rajasthan

(such as for instance Jaipur or Jodhpur, etc.), which offer scope for

being developed as centres for film-making.

A detailed study to develop the project concept further would need to

be undertaken, to also firm up the location for the filmcity. The concept

would require government support for implementation, which could be

through an equity stake in the form of land or by giving land on long-

term lease.
