2 Contents General Information on ADB Vizag-Chennai Industrial Corridor (VCIC) Transforming Vizag into a Smart City Conclusion

3 ADB s President Takehiko Nakao met with Prime Minister Narendra Modi (5 February 2015) ADB is planning to maintain the high lending level of $7-$9 billion during ADB will continue to finance new and improved roads and urban infrastructure, as well as renewable energy, including the development of solar parks and transmission lines. In addition, ADB will support the development of industrial and economic corridors. ADB is working with the government on the Vizag-Chennai Industrial Corridor with a renewed focus on the manufacturing sector. ADB will also assist development of smart cities.

4 General Information on ADB

5 Asian Development Bank (ADB) Founded in Members Capital $153.1 billion (end 2014) Japan (15.7%), United States (15.6%), PRC (6.5%), India(6.4%), Australia (5.8%) Annual Loan/Investment Approval $13.1 billion (2014) Staff : 2,990 (December 2014)

6 Our Products Financial Assistance Two areas of operations Sovereign operations Nonsovereign operations Technical Assistance Four types of TA Project preparation Capacity development Policy advisory Research & development Knowledge services Examples Seminars, workshops, publications

7 Vizag-Chennai Industrial Corridor (VCIC)

8 Vizag-Chennai Industrial Corridor (VCIC): A key part of the East Coast Economic Corridor (ECEC) and best suited to execute India s Act East Policy ECEC VCIC

9 Conceptualizing and planning for the corridor Components Phase 1 - Conceptual development plan for the Vizag- Chennai Industrial Corridor Industries for future development including MSMEs Nodes for industrial development Set of priority projects Recommendations on streamlining the business and regulatory processes at the State Phase 2 - Preparation of comprehensive regional perspective plan Transport strategy Energy strategy Urban strategy Funding requirement Indicative timeline Submitted to GoI and GoAP - December 2014 December 2015 Implementation of highest priority interventions for improving policy and regulatory environment in the state Master plans for selected nodes June 2016

10 Four Industrial Nodes in VCIC Tamil Nadu 1.Visakhapatnam Andhra Pradesh NH 16 alignment 5. Guntur 6. Prakasam 9.Chittoor 8. Kadapa Krishna Tiruvallur East Godavari 3.West Godavari Nellore 3 Yerpedu Srikalahsti Node 11.Chennai 2 Gangavaram Kankipadu Node 1 Kakinada Node Vishakhapatnam Node Four nodes have been identified Vishakhatpatnam Node Kakinada Node Gangavaram Kankipadu Node Yerpedu Srikalahasti Node ADB is requested to prepare master plan for Two Nodes (Vizag, Yerpedu- Srikalahasti)

11 Industry: Food Processing, Textiles and Chemicals will continue being major contributor. Sectors like Electronics and Pharmaceuticals will grow faster. BIS BIS Electroni cs, 6.0% Others, 20.0% Textiles, 13.8% Auto, 0.3% INR 1,100 bn Chem & Petroche m, 20.8% Food Processin g, 23.1% Metallur gy, 13.9% Pharma, 2.1% Electronics, 11.7% Others, 20.0% Textiles, 13.2% Auto, 1% INR 7,823 bn Chem & Petrochem, 19.9% Food Processing, 22.0% Metallurgy, 7.7% Pharma, 5.3%

12 Infrastructure Strategy for the Corridor: Enabling Strong Gateways, Spinal and Grid Connectivity Nodes and Gateways Road Network Each node has been identified in proximity to key gateways, whose performance is critical for competitiveness of the corridor Strengthening the arterial roads and rail networks of the corridor is also critical for the competitiveness of the corridor

13 Principles for industrial policy: Must expand industrial production, employment, and productivity simultaneously This requires Encouraging: Both capital and labor intensive sectors A growth-oriented approach to MSMEs (expansion, adopting new technologies, formalizing, and linking with larger firms and modern supply chains) Sensitivity to the value chain Tackling binding constraints to firm growth Infrastructure Regulations, e.g., easing entry and exit norms Skills

14 Andhra Pradesh Industrial Corridor Development Program: Policy Loan ($100 million) to support policy, institutional, and governance reforms to promote accelerated industrial development and enhance VCIC s competitiveness in Ease of Doing Business Investment Project of $600 million (ADB-$400 million): internal infrastructure in industrial clusters Transport infrastructure such as connectivity of nodes to ports, urban areas, other nodes Power infrastructure (transmission and distribution) Infrastructure and advisory support for smart cities Skill development and capacity enhancement Capacity building of institutions in corridor management and industrial development Project management support

15 Transforming Vizag into a Smart City

16 Smart Cities- Key Components Economic Character Funding, Investments, Ease of Doing Business and Sustainability Utilities Smart/Micro Grid, Water, Energy, Infrastructure Transport Multimodal Public Transport and Mass Transit Liveability Green Space, Renewables, Health, Education, Assisted Living, Citizen Participation Safety Public Safety, Critical Infra Security, Police, Fire WARNING 24 HOUR SURVEILLANCE City Gateway Airport, Railways, Highway ICT Comms Network, Platform, Device Government e-governance, Resource Utilization, Operations Efficiency Shared Infrastructure Utility Tunnels, Shared Poles/Ducts/Conduits, Rights-of-Way, Utility Notification Centre (Call before you dig)

17 Why? Smart Visakhapatnam: Realizing Make in India by Acting East Key Demographics Population: 2 million, mid-size city, manageable Area: 544 km 2 ; Vehicles: 0.55 Million Port city: Manufacturing hub linked to Southeast Asia and East Asia Institutions: Railways, Navy, Port, Steel city, IT, Andhra University Urban basic services: One of the best in India New State: Commercial capital of Andhra Pradesh VCIC & PCPIR: Visakhapatnam Node High potential

18 Visakhapatnam: Gap Analysis* (1/2) Physical Infrastructure Gap Water Supply 24x7 supply of water supply absent due to high level of non-revenue water (benchmark: 100%) Sanitation Coverage Sewerage connections in 60% households (benchmark: 100%) Need to construct the wastewater treatment plants with energy efficient and mechanized treatment processes Need to implement septage management in GVMC * as per 2014 Status of Basic Services, GOAP

19 Visakhapatnam: Gap Analysis (2/2) Solid waste management 100% SWM: However, door-to-door collection and segregation at source are 30-35%. Drainage Only 35% of road networks have roadside drains. On average 20 flooding incidents reported in a year. Electricity, Telephony and ICT 95% households have electricity connections - Interrupted supply during summers - Currently no focus on green buildings 90% telephone coverage Transport Inadequate mass transport system (within 800m distance)

20 Broad Framework for Smart City Infrastructure Industrial Infrastructure: To make manufacturing competitive and realize Make in India Urban infrastructure: Globally livable and sustainable city for attracting investment and talent Improving the quality of life of the residents Technology ICT to drive productivity and quality services Green technology reduce waste and energy efficiency Institutions Empowered local city government Citizens, private sector, investors

21 Recommended Smart City Initiatives for Vizag (1/2) Phase 1 Services related to Social Infrastructure Citizen Service Delivery System & e-governance Geospatial System (GIS) Participatory & Connected Government Healthcare & Education Services related to Urban Infrastructure Energy (both at individual and city level solar and wind energy) & Water Management Emergency & Disaster Management Transport & Traffic Management Public safety and Surveillance

22 Recommended Smart City Initiatives for Vizag (2/2) Phase 2 Services related to Social Infrastructure Social Inclusion Services related to Urban Infrastructure Solid Waste Management Community Mapping Sewage Management Environment Sustainability Smart Buildings City Wide Wi Fi 22
