DEMOGRAPHY AND LANDUSE


Demography & Landuse

1.1 City Growth and Growth Direction 1.1.1 Adjacencies and Influences Taking a cognizance of the adjacent developments and assessing their influences go a long way in determining the growth factors and growth locations of a city. Rapid urbanizations have led to development of new cities around Salt Lake, established in the 1970s. The Bidhannagar Municipal Corporation was defined in 2015 by adding the areas of Rajarhat Gopalpur Municipality and the panchayat area of Mahishbathan II Gram Panchayat (About BMC, 2015). The primary influential areas that are adjacent to the study area are – a) The New town area located in the north eastern part of the study area, and b) The airport area (Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose International Airport) located in the north western part of the study area. (1. New Town – Action areas I/II and III, 2. Airport area, A. Ganganagar/ Gopalpur Chandigar,

A study of the LUDCP proposed by the WBHIDCO reveals the planning boundary to cover 45 mouzas under both North 24 Paraganas and South 24 Paraganas districts. The New town planning area has been divided into three zones – Action area I (677 ha), Action area II (1310 ha) and action area III (783 ha) including a CBD area (183 ha) (WBHIDCO, 2012).

The Action area- I shows a major proposed arterial road connecting the wards 27 and 28 to the sub CBD areas and the CBD areas of the proposed LUDCP – New town area (Figure 3). This would essentially mean that once the CBD areas are fully implemented, there would be a steady influx of population and once the stocks of the housing are depleted, this would be spilling over to the close areas including the wards 27 and 28 which are sparsely populated currently. Since there are no major developable areas beyond these wards, they would be also further subjected to the suburbanization of the New town in future. Therefore, it can be said that the wards 27 and 28 would be the major points of growth owing to the major developments proposed in New town area. The north link road (Figure 5) is a major connection between the study area and the new town area,

Figure 5 : Action area –II of NTPA adjacencies with wards4, 5, and 6,12,13,14 of BMC area (Source: Primary survey / LUDCP New town planning area) and the Sub-CBD and the CBD areas would contribute to the influx of population in the proposed residential areas of New town. Suburbanization would further result spillage of the population to the wards 5, 6, 12, 13, 14 of the BMC areas. Since wards 4 and 5 are sparsely populated, they would be subjected to maximum development.

Demography & Landuse In the northern fringes, majority of the lands are of agrarian lands are available but according to the proposed land use the land has been reserved for residential use. Hence residential distribution can be proposed in the Wards 1 and 2 and a portions of Ward 3. The available land in Ward 4 is already taken by the developers for township development. Land parcels have been identified in Ward 7, 8 and 9 but since the land parcel availability is not concentrated there cannot be township development rather requires individual apartment structures. Ward 28 has potential for redevelopment and as well as high rise structures. 1.1.3.1 Prohibited area for development

Demography & Landuse The following have been identified as ecologically sensitive areas which require strict laws and policy intervention for their protection accompanied with spatial demarcations for prevention of encroachment. Region A is a low lying area comprising of marshes and small ponds. The marshy area does not support physical development and possess risk of flooding. Seasonal fishing is carried out in the ponds present in these marshes. The precinct of the ponds is occupied by informal settlements who mostly practice fishing. Due to unchecked sewage and garbage disposal in the lake, their health is drastically getting affected. Therefore, there is immediate need for demarcating a buffer zone around the marshy area to prevent further construction and prevent ponds from further deterioration. The site has a slope of -25% and hence is categorized under Class II water body Region B consists of a waterbody that is surrounded by densely populated residential settlement. Delineating a buffer zone for the waterbody in this area is not feasible due to unavailability of land and population density especially in the area north of water body. The northern region has a small marshy patch that calls for immediate attention so that further encroachment on it can be prevented. South of the water body, vacant land is available for delineating a buffer zone. The standard space required for buffer is 7m while 4 m is available here. Region C comprises of a water body and an underutilized precinct in terms of encroachment and development. This puts the water body at risk of facing neglect and eventually getting filled. In light of these threats, necessary preventive measures need to be taken. The availability of vacant land in the area needs to be delineated as buffer zone.

Demography & Landuse Buffer zones not only protect the water body, increases NDVI and reduces UHI which area of prime concern in a city region.

1.1.4 Residential and Commercial built up densities The gross residential built up densities give us a better understanding about the built densities in the wards and to identify them for further densification and retrofitting. The map CG.4 and CG.5 how the ratio of built up areas in the buildings marked for residential and commercial uses respectively to the total area of the ward. As per the results of the maps the northern parts of Bidhannagar (wards 1 to 5) shows the least amount of built up densities which could be attributed to the high amount of open land present. The eastern

Demography & Landuse perimeter of the Rajarhat Gopalpur boundary (wards 12, 13, 14, 21, 22, 27, 28) has wards with low built up densities too, this could be a reason of the haphazard growth of the settlements in the wards which led to the reduction in the residential densities in the said wards.

11: Density and floor area ratio (Source: Primary Survey) 1.1.5 Density and FAR consumption High density and Floor Area Ratio is observed in wards 19, 23 and 38. Thus, there is less scope of further development in these regions. Also, as per the development control guidelines of Rajarhat and Slat Lake Area the maximum achievable F.A.R. is 3. Thus, wards 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 12, 13, 14, 25, 28, 29, 30, 34 and 39 can be considered for re-densification. While, wards 27 and 37 comprise of squatter and slum settlements. Thus, these areas can be considered for re-development.

City Development Plan of Bidhannagar, ARP, IIT Kharagpur

11|P a g e


Demography & Landuse Also, development should be avoided in wards with high F.A.R., which includes wards 7, 16, 19, 23, 32 and 41.

1.1.6 Age of Housing Ward 1, 3, 12, 17, 18, 19, 22, 24 and 28 shows scope for structural improvement and superficial modification. Ward 28 has mostly kuccha houses which require improvement in structure. (Map CG.6) Large number houses in the area are owned hence, very few households have plans for new construction. Those households that want to relocate are mostly living in rental housing. Since the major growth of the city happened in last 25 years, majority of Housing Stock do not require any development in structure.

1.1.7 Regional Connectivity Bidhannagar Municipal Corporation is connected to Kolkata by EM by pass on the western flank and

Figure 12: Existing road Network (Source: Primary Survey)

City Development Plan of Bidhannagar, ARP, IIT Kharagpur

12|P a g e


Demography & Landuse Bishwa Bangla Sarani is the main corridor which connects BMC to New Town Area. The VIP Road the main artery catering to northern BMC and carries a major chunk of the traffic. Further collector and local roads branch out from it to follow organic pattern. Contrasting to these road patterns the southern part, Salt Lake is laid on a grid iron pattern following strict hierarchy of roads throughout. There are significant number of connecting roads between BMC and North Kolkata emerging from EM by pass. Further routes are being developed and existing road are being widened to deal with the large influx of commuters from and via BMC. These major corridors apart from carrying large amount of traffic also set the direction of growth for the areas and enormously effect the land use and property prices alongside. The coming up of New town, Sector 5 and now Sector 6 in vicinity of BMC has increased a large volume of daily commuters to these regions for work purposes. Currently in Kolkata only 6% of the total area is under the road network as opposed to the 15% specified by UDPFI guidelines. This has further aggravated the issue of congestion in the city with every growing population and vehicles in turn. This ratio of road to building does not hold true for Salt Lake area due to its planned character and proper allocation of resources. In BMC, VIP road despite being a six lane corridor does not have the capacity to carry the traffic at peak hour. This is mainly due to two reasons; firstly, due to very high V/C ration taking its level of service to F and secondly due to the presence of various modes of transport, ranging from rickshaw to buses, on the same road. This mixing of slow, medium and fast speed traffic drastically brings down the overall speed on the road and this slow moving traffic becomes the major cause of congestion.

Demography & Landuse

Figure 14 : Nature of Proposals for Connectivity Improvement A consistent issue throughout the northern BMC is the presence of dead ends on local roads. This prevents thoroughfare in the dense localities and drastically hampers accessibility of public transit or feeder services to all areas. This can be attributed to unplanned and rampant construction and lack of norms and policies regarding land use and plot geometry. Area 1: The area between VIP Road on the west and Bisho Bangla Sarani, cutting across New Town, on the east is a dense residential settlement comprising of changing character, ranging from apartments and plotted housing to slums and gradually grows denser on moving away from the VIP Road. The main access to facilities for these areas is through VIP road solely. This further aggravated the pressure on it. Therefore, there is a need to develop an alternate route(s) to VIP Road based on assessment of traffic congestion and direction. Area 2: The northern most area of BMC, i.e., Ward 1-5 have comparatively lower density and presence of large chunks of agricultural lands. Due to consolidated land parcels there are very few roads in this area. This drastically affects the accessibility to this region. Its connectivity to rest of BMC in particular is much lower. Since further expansion is possible only in this part of BMC due to

Demography & Landuse land availability hence strong linkages need to be established within these wards, to neighbouring wards via extension of existing roads and also to the areas north of BMC.

1.1.8 Urban Growth The major growth direction in the Rajarhat-Gopalpur area is towards Newtown. The reason may be the proposed CBD in New Town and also availability of vacant land in that direction. As per the primary survey, the growth towards the canal is informal in character. The kind growth in Salt Lake area is more of urban infill than outward expansion. In Duttabad area, it can be seen that growth has happened towards the centre of the slum area. This indicates that there is a demand of housing among the economically weaker section. (Map CG.7)

1.1.9 Real Estate Prices and Rental Values Bidhannagar area is surrounded by North and South Dumdum Municipality on the western side, Kolkata on the south, upcoming New Town Rajarhat on the east and the northern part is still predominantly agrarian like Panchayat areas Bhagabantapur, Chandipur. On Further north lies Madhyamagram, Barasat. All of these areas fall under the Kolkata Metropolitan Area. All of these areas have characteristics of their own which is way different from the other. The old world charm of Dumdum and the rising towers of the Rajarhat. Our study area falls between the drastic change and is under the transition. Hence the real estate market can be called as a thriving market. It is situated in the brink of traditionalism and modernity and the real estate market is a reflection of the same. The real estate sector in Kolkata Metropolitan Area according to statistics has shown growth of 11% on a yearly basis. Growth of numerous townships have been observed. The Garia Baishnabghata Patuli Township, the Behala Township, the Alipore Township and the currently emerging township in Rajarhat, Action Area, New Town are a few examples.This emerging township also provides affordable rent and reasonably priced property compared to property prices in other metropolitans like Mumbai.The demand for property has seen a tremendous spike ever since the construction of the Metro Railways. There is already a metro corridor that connects Dum Dum to Tollygunge and was later extended to connect Noapara to Garia. The metro corridor currently under construction, also known as the East West corridor will connect Salt Lake to Howrah, making connectivity a dream come true for commuters. The price of a property caters to the exclusive buyers but there is a large section of young people who are constantly moving due to work and are looking for a property for shorter duration of time. Renting is another aspect of real estate that is often overlooked. One often associates real estate only with purchase. The phenomenon of apartments being leased out for rent in Salt Lake, New Town to employees in the IT Sector is not a recent one. Apartments are leased out for rent regularly in areas that are situated close to workplaces and universities.

Demography & Landuse The key localities in Kolkata such as in Rajarhat, E M Bypass, and New Town are under constant development. Roads are constructed to connect these localities to the core of the city. The placement of hospitals, schools, universities, and metro railways as well as the airport have become determining factors for subsequent real estate projects and developments. The mobility of people to a certain part of the city for a myriad of purposes, be it professional, educational, amusement also plays a determining factor in the placement of real estate development projects.

Figure 15: Real Estate Price (Super Built Up Area) (Source: www.99acres.com ) The price variation occurs due to the accessibility and the infrastructure available. Regions in Dumdum are well connected to the Metropolitan area through Local trains. It eases the mass traffic flow easing communication and reducing journey time, thereby is in huge demand. In Salt Lake the infrastructure availability and its proximity to Sector V and the CBD region has escalated the property value.

Demography & Landuse In other areas such as Chinar Park and areas close to New Town, Rajarhat is seeing transformations in its built structure and therefore the land prices are seen to be rapidly rising. But the sky rocketing property prices in the Salt Lake and New Town have led to a lot of apartments remaining vacant, which shows a mismatch to the user demand and their affordability. Therefore, the growth trend is shifting towards Madhayamgram and Barasat where the property prices are the least. In the northern portion of Bidhannagar area it is observed that the property values are less as compared to the rest of the BMC area yet there is very little transition. It is primarily due to the lack of connectivity in the current scenario. Another important factor of real estate development is taxes. Developers are choosing areas within Panchayat jurisdiction to build their townships. The charges that the Government levies on property and its registration are based on of subsequent difference in sales that are made above and below the margin of Rs. 25 lakhs. If the sales value for a piece of property is above the margin of Rs. 25 lakhs, then the tax levied will be as follows, •

6% stamp duty for the Panchayat Areas

7% stamp duty for Municipal and Corporation Areas and

1% registration charges

However, when the sales value for a piece of property is below the Rs. 25 lakhs margin, then there is a notable margin of difference in the charges levied, the charges will be as follows, •

5% stamp duty for Panchayat Areas

6% stamp duty for Municipal and Corporation areas and1% registration charges

Figure 17: Rental Prices surrounding BMC (Source: www.magicbricks.com) The rental prices also vary in a similar manner (Figure 17) as the real estate property values. It is maximum in Salt Lake and New Town Rajarhat due to the nearness to job and CBD and availability of good infrastructure. The demand, however, is more in the Baguiati, Chinar Park, Keshtopur due to the comparatively lower rental prices and yet maintaining a proximity to work zones. For even lower rents there is a trend of shifting towards Madhayamgram but the demand reduces with distance.

Demography & Landuse

The Land Surface map indicates high temperature level around Airport which is around 36.4ยบC. The areas adjacent to the Airport include wards 1, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7. A 10 metres green buffer is required to reduce the heat in this area. The LST is also high along the VIP Road Spine. Slight rise in temperature is also observed in the Baguiati area due to the development in thepast decade as well as the use of reflecting material like glass for building facade.A buffer of 3m around the major transportation link needs to be developed as a green belt to reduce the heat island in this region.

1.2 Proposals 1.2.1 Scope of development plan: As per the URDPFI guidelines, a city development plan consists is a statutory document supported by illustrations and maps containing necessary details and intended actions in the form of strategies and physical proposals for various policies given in the perspective plan and regional plan depending upon the economic and social needs and aspiration of the people, available resources and priorities. 1.2.1.1 Alignment with the KMA perspective plan 2025: A brief outline of the KMA perspective plan used for alignment in the present development plan is as below: a) Sustained and improved quality of life through basic urban services in an inclusive manner. b) Enabling environment for enhanced economic activities. c) Utilizing available resources efficiently in an eco-friendly manner, while conserving of heritage and eco sensitive areas. d) Provision of land for urban poor (state sponsored housing proposals for EWS and LIG) e)

Salt Lake Sector V (now NDITA) defined as an industrial growth centre for IT/ ITES, plastic and toy manufacturing, gems and jewellery etc.

f) Private sector partnership in infrastructure development (PPP). g) Balanced distribution of centres within the metropolitan area.

1.2.2 Vision After conducting primary surveys and identification of specific issues pertaining to different sectors and study of the perspective plan of KMA, the vision for the study area of Bidhannagar Municipal Corporation has been formalized as: To assist growth of areas of Rajarhat-Gopalpur and Salt Lake City under Bidhannagar Municipal Corporation in a synergetic matter, where the Rajarhat-Gopalpur area is envisioned as a liveable residential hub that can sustain the existing and future populations with necessary employment opportunities by provision of additional small scale industrial and commercial sectors and improved infrastructure; and Salt Lake City to be developed into an energy efficient and a re-densified neighbourhood.

1.2.3 Planning approach In view of the above vision, the following planning approach is adopted for the Bidhannagar Municipal Corporation:

City Development Plan of Bidhannagar, ARP, IIT Kharagpur

29|P a g e


Demography & Landuse 1) Population density distribution as a basis for planning 2) Primary usage of vacant developable lands: The planning considers conservation of agricultural, densely vegetated and crop lands and uses the vacant developable lands for future projected populations as the first priority. 3) Re-densified neighbourhoods: Redensification policies involving increase of FAR in Salt Lake area to meet future demand projections is considered to be the next priority for development. 4) Annexation of nearby gram panchayat area - Ghuni: The planning considers annexation of Ghuni area and vacant parcels in the same to be used for the next priority for development. 5) Employment opportunities: Small and micro scale manufacturing and service sectors are proposed to create opportunities in the Rajarhat- Gopalpur area for the future population growths. Care is taken to avoid creation of new denser economic centers as per the perspective plan of KMA 2025, to reduce the migration rate and thereby avoid urban sprawl in the BMC area. 6) Slum development slated under different government schemes: Different government schemes shall be taken up for slum development of areas – Duttabad and Mahishbathan. 7) Conservation of wetlands: The wetland areas are conserved and no residential or commercial developments are proposed around the same.

1.2.4 Goals and objectives: To ensure an overall sustainable development of the BMC area, the following goals have been identified: 1.2.4.1 Landuse and demography: • To accommodate different activities with due consideration to promote conservation of wetlands and water-bodies •

To protect the area from identified hazards such as flooding.

To promote allocation of adequate social and physical infrastructure

To reduce demographic issues like economic disparity and lower sex ratios.

1.2.4.2 Environment:

• To retain, preserve, restore and develop city’s natural resources such as wetlands, water bodies, vegetation, air and water quality.

To develop open spaces and green areas and provide quality leisure opportunities to residents and visitors.

To maximize efficiency of energy resources and explore renewable energy sources.

Demography & Landuse •

By capacity augmentation of existing facilities along with the provision of new facilities of healthcare, it is ensured that quality and quantity of healthcare services are in tandem with the requirements. Through policy interventions which include health suraksha cards, the health care needs of vulnerable and economically weaker section of society is met. It is also ensured that capacity building programs at community level are undertaken to make the people play an integral role in safeguarding the hygiene of their surroundings and thus prevent the outbreak of dengue and other such diseases.

1.2.4.7 DMF • Increasing the Income base through tax reforms, new charges, and efficiency in the revenue collection. • Effective implementation of finances and expenditure in the various sectors to improve the state of development of the wards within BMC, for a coherent development.

1.2.5 Landuse Proposals Based on the various built characteristics, vacant land availability, and jurisdictions boundaries, the proposed landuse is divided into 3 areas. • • •

Rajarhat – Gopalpur. Salt Lake City Ghuni.

Rajarhat-Gopalpur The area in Rajarhat Gopalpur is unorganized and unplanned at a number of localities. Also this area possesses a number of vacant plots and open land parcels to be used for further development of the area. With this goal in mind a residential landuse suitability analysis was done for the area results of which dictated the location for further developments to be proposed in the area. The model used for this study is based on 4 criteria: • • • •

Availability of medical facilities in the neighbourhood. Availability of Educational facilities in the neighbourhood. Capacity of the existing drainage network to support further growth. Net residential built-up density of the area.

The model so generated is as follows:

Figure 20 Model for residential landuse suitability

Results generated based on the model were used to mark the areas for further development. The areas in blue shows the land parcels with higher scores for suitability, and the brown shows area with lower suitability scores. (Map P.7) Salt Lake For Salt Lake, no landuse change has been proposed as the region has very little scope for further development. However, landuse changes due to the TOD analysis have been proposed. For further details, refer to the section on TOD. Ghuni Area Ghuni is the panchayat area which is proposed to be merged into the Bidhannagar boundary, to support further development of the municipality. Since the region is primarily agrarian in nature and is mostly undeveloped the area is to be taken as a greenfield development. 1.2.5.1 Proposed population density Map P.4 shows the proposed population density allocations based on the development suitability of the respective wards accounting various factors such as vacant lands, land pricing, existing built density, existing net residential built density and existing net commercial built density to name a few.

1.2.6 Transit Oriented Development The concept of TOD intends to integrate land use planning with transportation development allowing walkable and liveable communes in high density mixed land use urban centres. TOD tries to enhance the share of public transport with the improvement of accessibility supporting compact development. (National Transit Oriented Development (TOD) Policy, 2017) 1.2.6.1 Delineation of Influence Zones The area in immediate vicinity of transit station within walkable distance having high density compact development along with mixed land use supporting basic needs of the residents is termed as influence zone. The influence zone from transit stations stretches within the primary walkable distance 500800m. •

Intense TOD Zone: The highest density zone along metro corridor 300m wide from the central line

•

Standard TOD Zone: Medium density zone 800m wide from the central line of MRT corridor (Map P.1)

1.2.6.2 High Density Compact Development Within its influence area TOD offers higher Floor Area Ratio and population in comparison with the area around. The minimum FAR as per National TOD Policy is 300-500%. The resultant higher concentration of people within the walkable distance increases public transit ridership, fare revenue

Hence accessibility improvement is supplemented with the availability of essential activities in proximity. Mixing of uses is achieved either by horizontal mixing i.e. introducing different activities in different plots or vertical mixing i.e. different activities within the same built structure. 1.2.6.4 Policy guidelines for TOD (TOD Guidelines – MoUD): • For any TOD scheme, a max. FAR of 400 and a maximum density of 2000 persons per hectare (PPH) is considered • In all integrated schemes, a minimum of 30% of overall FAR shall be mandatory for Residential use, a minimum 10% of FAR for commercial use and minimum 10% of FAR for

1.2.7 Introduction to Canal Front Development Kestopur Canal forms the Northern boundary of Bidhannagar Municipal area. One end is directly connected to river Hooghly in the West through New-cut canal — Circular Canal and the other end, passes down to the river Kultigung in the East through Kestopur- Bhangarkata khal. The Circular canal, has bifurcation near Gaznavi Bridge as two separate and distinct canals. One-part flows down towards Beliaghata as Circular –Beliaghata canal and other part passes down through New CutKestopur-Bhangarkata to meet at Kultigong. The Circular –Beliaghata canal is extended up to Chingrighata, E.M Bye-pass. From there, it is connected with an excavated channel named as the Eastern Drainage Channel along the South-Eastern boundary of Salt-Lake city under Bidhannagar Municipal area. This Eastern Drainage channel also has its outfall in the Kestopur Canal.

1.2.7.4.3 Proposal for Canal Top Solar Power Plant Coal generates over 75% of India’s electricity and is among the cheapest energy sources available, IndiaSpend reported in May 2015. With over 300 million Indians without reliable energy, and industrial demand growing, the need for coal-fired electricity is estimated to increase three times by 2030, with consequent environmental impacts. The real potential in a sunny country to replace fossil fuels is solar: India has a renewable-energy potential of about 895 GW, of which 750 GW is solar, as IndiaSpend reported in February 2015. However, land is a precious commodity for India. Justifying the use of land to set up solar plants, which can be used for habitation, cultivation, and manufacturing, is a tough proposition. Henceforth taking into account the city’s large canal network, the concept of construction of solar PV plant on canal top can be put forth for development. Advantages of Canal Top Solar Power Plant: •

They perform more efficiently. The power output of ground-mounted solar panels decreases at a rate of 1% every year for the first 10 years. However, it’s not same in the case of Canal Top power generation.

Since the panels are placed on top of water, they are cooled from below, which also increases their efficiency and enhances output by 2.5-5%.

Canal-top panels, by absorbing heat, help reduce water evaporation.

As land availability is falling in India, canal-top solar prospect seems a better solution.

Less algae growth in the canal water.

However, capital costs of canal-top installations are currently higher than their ground- mounted counterparts. The 1-MW solar plant at Chandrasan (in 2012) cost Rs. 17.73 crores which is almost

Demography & Landuse twice the cost of utility-scale solar power project, according to MNRE (Ministry of New and Renewable Energy) Report 2015. According to MNRE, a 10MW Canal-Top Solar Power Plant costs around Rs. 100 Crores. 1.2.7.4.4 Project Data Length of the Canal that can be occupied by the Solar structure = 1 km Bed width of Canal = 10 m Total width of Canal at Full Supply Level (F.S.L) = 24 m Solar Panel size = 1m X 2m Total Area available = 1000m X 24m = 2400 sq.m. No. of Panels required = 2400/2sqm = 1200 1.2.7.4.5 Procedure for Implementation a) Land leveling and clearing b) Excavation for Piling c) Pile concreting d) Pile capping e) Erection of the structure

Demography & Landuse 1.2.8 Demography Proposals 1.2.8.1 Objectives • To reduce the existing income disparity bridging the rich poor gap.

To improve the low sex ratio of Rajarhat Gopalpur locality.

To control and manage the rising issue of gentrification in Salt lake area.

1.2.8.2 Proposals and schemes • Minimum wages for unskilled workers according to government of West Bengal for constituent municipal corporations and other urban local bodies revised with effect from January 1, 2018 is INR 7661 per month, which is almost one fifth of the average household income of Bidhannagar according to the household survey. As other municipal corporations cannot be compared with those comprising mega cities like Kolkata, these minimum wage rates must be revised and should be higher for latter. In New Delhi, the wage rate for unskilled workers is INR 13896/- per month, which is much higher.

Water tax while not collected in Bidhannagar forms a major source of income for other municipal corporations. Therefore, it is proposed to collect the tax from households belonging to the higher & middle income group, exempting lower income group and economically weaker section.

Demography & Landuse •

Low sex ratio in Bidhannagar may owe to migration of males only in search of jobs. Studies show that the entire state has poor share of working women in comparison with men.

Hence, in order to incentivize employability of females within construction sector discounts in registration fee, building permission fee etc. must be awarded to projects having more than 33% share of workers as women. On similar grounds, within commercial sector, discount on market tax, tehbazari etc. must be opted.

A holistic observation of Bidhannagar yields that most of the share of tax revenues is generated from employees working in the public sector. Hence, it can be inferred that a considerable percentage of income of private sector workers remains incognito. Therefore it is proposed that employer shall be required to maintain various payroll and payment records of their employee.

Gentrification in Salt lake area is mainly attributed to two primary causes. The locality was initially planned for the 70% MIG in planned houses, but at present it has been replaced by upper MIG and HIG individual houses. Secondly, the increasing tax rates and cost of living in the area has forced the weaker section to move outside. To control this change stabilization of tax rates for longer durations has been proposed. Also govt. schemes in the form of social housing and other supporting programs for economically weaker sections are required.

Ultimately, strict implementation of government policies and schemes regarding health and education is crucial for combating demographic issues. Similarly the initiative of minimum and equal wages for men and women should also be enforced.

2. ECONOMY


Economy

2.1 VISION OF ECONOMY 2.1.1 INTRODUCTION Employment is one of the most important drivers of development of a city or a region. It plays a major role in determining the attractiveness of the city and also helps to generate and maintain an economy that is more reliant on its own internal potentials and opportunities rather than depending on external areas for employment for the population and also for various facilities like commercial and service sector offerings. The purpose of this study is to estimate and quantify the number of employment that will generate in the Bidhannagar municipal corporation area in a detailed manner and also to analyse, understand and predict the trends and patterns in the employment sector.

2.1.2 AIM The aim is to keep the Bidhannagar municipal corporation as a pre-dominant residential zone with a supporting economy in terms of commercial and service sector facilities and jobs, rather than pushing forward for a booming industrial or economic hub. The vision for development of the area is to evolve the area into a liveable community, following along those lines the employment generation is aimed to make the area more liveable by creating job opportunities that are accessible to the major share of population and drawing focus from high pay, high scale jobs to semi-skilled and labour intensive job opportunities.

2.1.3 OBJECTIVE The main objective of the study is to understand the growth potentials and scope of economic development of the area. It aims to calculate the detailed statistics of the employment that is generated in each sector that is primary, secondary and tertiary, as a result of natural growth and past trends. It also aims to understand the employment pattern and workforce participation of both resident population and also the migrant population that moves into and out of the study area as a result of the interventions and planning proposals. The study also takes into account the number of jobs that are being created as well as to estimate the number of indirect and induced jobs along with the direct ones to draw out the clear picture of how the employment scenario is going to shape up during the planning period.

2.1.4PRESENT CONDITION OF JOBS The present scenario of jobs is as follows in the Bidhannagar Municipal Corporation area. Primary sector jobs are 4.08%, Secondary sector jobs are 18.21% and tertiary sector catering the maximum population of 77.21%.

Economy 2.1.4.1 Future Vision for Job creation •

MSME industries are considered to create maximum employment opportunities for the youth in the state as the sector has maximum elasticity of labour output. Over last five years, there has been an increase in bank credit across the MSME sector, which has led to an increase in the investments as well as employment opportunities. Government of West Bengal proposed allocation of Rs.950 crores for Micro, Small & Medium Enterprises & Textiles Department, under state budget 2018-19.

The natural resources, policy incentives and infrastructure in the state support investments in major sectors such as iron and steel, biotechnology, coal, leather, jute products, tea, IT, gems and jewellery. The state has 3,000 acres of land at its disposal to set up industries.

Logistics sector are also going to come up very rapidly. An estimated investment of 4300 crores to be taken place. It is likely to create 12,000 jobs. It will require 22 million sq. ft. Area in West Bengal. Rajarhat, being one of the well-connected areas is going to get extra edge.

IT sector giants like Wipro and Infosys are coming up in New Town that are expected to boost the economy of the neighbouring Rajarhat. An investment of 6000 crores is expected to create 6000 direct jobs in the 50acre campus. Right now they are doing 100 crore investment for the first phase.

Some primary sector activities can be seen in the northern part of the Rajarhat mostly agricultural and cultivation. These is going to get reduced and are expected to shift in the unorganised labours.

The West Bengal Government plans to create around 1 lakh new jobs in the field of cyber security annually.

2.2.1PRIMARY SECTOR JOBS 2.2.1.1 Primary Sectors of Kolkata West Bengal is predominantly an agrarian State. Comprising of only 2.7% of India's geographical area, it supports nearly 8% of its population. There are 71.23 lakh farm families of whom 96% are small and marginal farmers. Some of the primary sectors in the Bidhannagar Municipal Corporation are as follows: i.

Agriculture

ii.

Fishing

iii.

Dairy Farming/Animal Husbandry

Government of West Bengal is working in a mission mode for development of Agriculture and Allied sector in a holistic manner with the vision of doubling farmers’ income by 2020 by ensuring farmers' access to Skills, Technologies, Markets and Financial inclusion". But that will mostly affect the state primary sector.

The spatial pattern of urbanisation shows that Kolkata is approaching towards the eastern and the south-eastern parts of marshy land as a result, the fringe agricultural land and open spaces are being converted into settlement areas for human habitation and engulfed into urban fabric. The entire wetland ecosystem is now under critical threat through the eastward expansion of the city. The new Bidhannagar Municipal Corporation have already swallowed up over a quarter of the wetlands. Table 19: Percentage of Urban Population, Census of India, 1971-2011 Region

2.2.2SECONDARY SECTOR JOBS 2.2.2.1Analysis of Sector Supply Analysis: Production Advantage This method is to identify the products which have advantage in production in the state. This has been identified by calculating comparative production advantage at NIC two-digit- level for a state. The sectors in which the value of Production Advantage Index (PAI) is greater than one shows that the relative importance of such sectors in the state is more than that at the country-level and thus has a production advantage. This advantage may have resulted from higher productivity, existence of lowcost resources, skill availability, government policies etc.

Demand Analysis: Shift Share of Sales This method is to identify the potential commodities from the demand side using Shift Share analysis of sales data. The percentage net shift represents the percentage of the total gain or total loss of market share accounted for by each sector. The sector showing positive net shift are identified as potential sectors.

Result: Growth Trend of Manufacturing Sector The sub-sectors are distinguished in four different categories depending on their potential growth rates. Category 1: These include the sectors with consistent production advantage along with positive net shift of sales. These are the sectors that have an advantage and market demand is growing on an average more than other sectors. Sectors such as these can attract investment in the state. Tobacco and leather are very strong sectors in this category for the state while precision instruments also are a candidate for this category since its demand is growing at the average rate and its PAI>1. Category 2: These include sectors, which have low production advantage but positive net shift of sales. This implies that these sectors are witnessing strong gain in market share but has an overall weakness in production in such sectors. Automobiles, food processing, non-metallic materials and apparels are the products in this category. In non-metallic materials, we have some advantage, but in food processing, automobiles and apparels, we did not have any advantage at all. Investments in these sectors can move these to Category 1. Category 3: These include sectors, which do not have production advantage and where the net shift of sales is negative. These sectors should not be very attractive in terms of investment. Most of the products produced in West Bengal fall in this category including paper, rubber and plastic, transport

City Development Plan of Bidhannagar, ARP, IIT Kharagpur

10|P a g e


Economy and equipment, office equipment, radio, television and communication, electrical machinery and machinery and equipment. Category 4: These include sectors having production but the net shift of sales is negative. In this category we see net shift of publishing and printing and wood and wood products is not very much negative, hence they may still have scope of expansion. However, for other sectors like petro products, metal, chemical, textile and basic metals, the demand growth is not high, although we have production advantage in them. Hence, investment in these sectors will be attractive only if one can find newer markets with higher demand growth.

2.2.2.2Projection of Jobs in Secondary Sector The Supply and Demand analysis of the sector is used for analyzing the growth trend and then prediction of jobs. The projected number of jobs under each sub-sectors in Table 7.

2.3 COMMERCIAL LOCATION ALLOCATION The commercial allocation is structured in a hierarchy. The scope of development of commercial has been done ward wise, depending on various indices. The indices are normalized using TOPSIS method to come at final numbers. Development has been broadly framed within two factors- area required and nature of commercial development. The area of development assumed to be utilised for development in three phases, where each phases’ outcome will affect the intensity for next phase.

2.3.1 POLICY The findings from the surveys done in Ward 1to Ward 29 of Rajarhat area suggests that the roads in some of the ward are too narrow for future commercial proposal. Proposed commercial and office area will require augmented infrastructure according to the demand of future population and vehicular growth. Provision of new infrastructure will require land that is obtained with the help of conventional development and financial regulatory tools like TDR, Land Pooling, analysis and identifying of special assessment areas. Providing incentives like additional Floor Area Ratio (FAR) is one of the approaches to obtain land that will be required for provision of the projected infrastructure demand. This developmental right is given to the owner in the form of a Development Rights Certificate (DRC). The proposed commercial land use is located based on the propensity of the area to thrive as business district in the future and its vicinity to local, collector and arterial transit route is one of the most important decision factors. The land required for widening of road as well as development of other

City Development Plan of Bidhannagar, ARP, IIT Kharagpur

15|P a g e


Economy infrastructure will be obtained from the proposed commercial land use area using up to 40 to 45 percent of the new plots area.

2.3.2 WARD WISE BRIEF PROPOSALS Ward 01 The area allocated for this ward for commercial development is relatively less. Therefore, the development is restricted to being a local market. The response to initial phase development will guide the nature and extent of the upcoming development. If its flourishing the area can be utilized for next hierarchy market, else it can be limited to being a local market.

Ward 02 In this ward, there has been a proposal for an upcoming bus terminus. In the coming few years, there will be demand of various supporting activities and establishments for a bus terminus. There is tremendous scope of offices and market simultaneously. Taking care of the upcoming needs, the proposal includes maximum number of shops for eateries and travel agents. The roads around this area needs to be upgraded and planned in a proper network to cater the upcoming surge of routine buses and supporting paratransit modes.

Ward 03 The ward is a low-density residential development with proposals to cater to the future population residential demand. Catering to this future population growth in the ward justifies proposal for a local fruit and vegetable as well as development of a local market with provision of services for daily needs.

Ward 04 The development is spread over the two roads that intersect at one common junction. The nature of development on both roads will have different character, retaining the present characteristics. One road is proposed to have commercial activities along the road. Other one is mix-use development, carrying forward the present trend on the road.

Ward 05 The ward is allotted large commercial development area in lieu of proposed hospital in the vicinity. The proposal will be of a big commercial hub. Hub will have a limited percentage of shops; focus lies with the commercial activities. Being adjacent to the hospital and part of a hub, there will be maximum need of pharmacies and eating joints. There can be provisions for special recreational activities such as game parlours. In addition, the supporting informal activities will increase in this area and provision of the same is allocated a proper space. City Development Plan of Bidhannagar, ARP, IIT Kharagpur

16|P a g e


Economy The presence of so many activities is going to create a kiosk of numerous activities. There will be large inflow and outflow of vehicles on daily basis. The road network needs to be upgraded accordingly.

Ward 06 The proposal of a new commercial hub is required. It will be part of a broad level TOD proposal on the main road passing through the ward. Being in context of TOD development, there will be proper road layout directly connecting main road with the commercial hub. As part of TOD development, there will be extra FAR provisions for the hub. There will be high-rise development with a mix of commercial activities, recreational activities and a market. There lies tremendous potential for the commercial hub at this specific location that can be utilised at best.

Ward 07 The commercial establishment that has come up due to its vicinity to the Airport have led to congestion near the junction and inside the ward. A comprehensive revitalisation plan is required to address the problem of overcrowding and mixed-use development with existing FAR by-law of 3.25 is proposed with due consideration for height restrictions.

Ward 08 The ward has underutilised local markets that needs to be upgraded by infill development, to cover the entire continuous stretch of market. The survey done in the ward found that the existing commercial facilities are not enough to cater to the demand of local population and residents feel the requirement of a proper marketplace for their daily and weekly needs.

Ward 09 The ward has two roads where there is potential of markets and already showing traces of shops along the road. Therefore, the proposal includes mixed land use along the two major collector roads in the ward. The ground floor is proposed shops catering to local needs and the upper floors will be residential. Prescribed setbacks of 0.5m to 2mbased on size of the plots before any future development of shops.

Ward 11 This is a ward with high-density development and thus revitalisation and upgradation is required and urban design proposals are given for the same, it also involves development of TOD corridor along Chinar Park

17|P a g e


Economy Ward 12 The proposal of commercial development for this ward is given in 3 phases it includes development of a new market with commercial establishments and offices, along with high-density development of mixed land use with high FAR. A new road link with the propensity of commercial establishments is proposed too that will cater to the local area.

Ward 13 & Ward 14 Regularisation of commercial land and mixed land use is required due scattered commercial establishments in the ward. Proposal for a new local market to cater to the need of future population and housing allocation. New market is located with consideration of good accessibility and availability of public transit around.

Ward 22 The lack of commercial activities led to the proposal for a new local market to address the needs and demands of the existing population and high residential density in the ward justifies the proposal of new market. However, upgradation of roads is required for better accessibility on site.

Ward 24 The market in this ward experience multilayer encroachments and thus encroachment control strategies needs to be undertaken. Revitalization of the commercial establishments is recommended with road widening by means of T.D.R. and control on building line. Setbacks of 1 to 1.5m from present building control line based on plot size and adherence to ground coverage by-laws should be checked.

Ward 25 Regularization of existing commercial area and market is required to address the issue of congestion and narrow roads. The land will be obtained by using financial and development tools like T.D.R. and contribute 40 % of the obtained land towards roads and other required physical infrastructure like parking and drains.

Ward 27 Ward 27 already has a commercial market and thus the augmentation of it is required into a commercial street. The land will be obtained by using financial and development tools like T.D.R. & Control on building line and contribute 20-40 % of the obtained land towards road and physical infrastructure.

Economy Ward 28 The ward has many informal settlements and has and absence of prominent commercial area, but the need for the same exists as seen from the prior analysis. A local market with high FAR has been proposed with 2875 sq. m. in first phase, 3614 sq. m. in second phase and 4657 in third phase. The selected location of the market is because of absence of appropriate location for the same and is in the proximity of the proposed T.O.D. eateries.

Housing

3.1 INTRODUCTION Shelter forms one of the three most basic requirements of a humans, other two being food and clothing. Whilst housing is linked with the economic foundation of a city, it affects the physical structure of a settlement. With rapid population surge in Indian cities as a result of industrialization and urbanization, housing deficit poses a critical challenge to the city managers. Although the concept affordable housing has already gained much attention in the housing market, it is crucial to improve housing availability for all the different income groups within society. Housing forecasts are dependent upon the forecast of the household structure based upon individual persons or families. While individual housing demand is determined by numerous economic factors, aggregate housing demand is determined by demographics. Housing demand is created upon by the rising population which itself is a function of natural increase and migration. The population size, age distribution, educational background, etc. are a few measures influencing housing demand. These also determine the type of housing for which demand has been created. Any change in housing demand is evident from the price changes for owned housing, or level of rents for rented housing in the market. Housing supply synchronizes with the demand through demolition or renovation of old structures, and construction of new ones. The evolution of housing demand determines size of housing stock required, and hence the number of new units which need to be constructed. The demand for housing can be broadly classified into three components: •

Number of new households adding due to natural growth or migration

•

Net resultant change in the housing units already lying vacant

•

Replacement of housing units lost as a result of catastrophes, demolition, deterioration, aging or obsolescence, etc. Hence, in order to project the levels of these components, assumptions regarding the future

scenario are to be made, which can either be regarding economy or demography. Housing demand predictions must be of long run sustainable demand. Whilst household growth is related with the population growth, the change in composition of adult population drives a change in number of households, and not change in the total population. Estimation of the replacement/reconfiguration demand is a component of assessing the overall housing demand. Towards this, the age of housing stock is a vital factor.

Housing

3.2METHODOLOGY In the Bidhannagar Municipal Corporation Area, need for new housing both in terms of qualitative and quantitative aspect has been observed. The methodology that has been followed to calculate the housing demand in the area, after considering factors discussed as follows: •

To meet the current quantitative and qualitative housing shortages and fulfilling the need of future housing (newHH formation & demolition due to obsolescence) of upcoming population this includes natural population growth.

To identify areas of development for the new population by sector-wise proposals like group housing, affordable housing, and plotted development.

To frame policies and strategies for the development of new housing schemes and for informal settlements.

To allocate areas for housing demand and emphasis on lower income group housing.

To consider different household sizes for different phases of proposal for different types of households.

3.3 HOUSING DEMAND Housing demand estimation of Bidhannagar Municipal Corporation Area has been done on the basis of following factors: •

Housing Shortage: Quantitative and Qualitative shortage has been determined based on congestion factor and obsolescence factor.

Natural Growth: Varying household size has been used for different income group households.

It is crucial to analyse the housing demand as per different income groups, and according to the two different component neighbourhoods of Salt Lake City and Rajarhat. The percentage of households in different income groups has been assumed to remain same in2031. Hence, the dwelling units required for higher, medium, lower income groups and economically weaker section of the society have been calculated. Bidhannagar Municipal Corporation currently has almost two third populations belonging to LIG and EWS. The household size fluctuates between 3.9 and 4.5 for EWS and HIG respectively.

3.4 HOUSING LOCATION ALLOCATION Major Parameters considered for the allocation of Housing units in different wards are Household Size and existing obsolescent buildings. Since, presence of vacant developable land and unutilized FAR in the area provides potential for the new Housing Stock. It has been considered that area required for the housing shortage will be provided from existing housing units. Excess housing units have been allocated to new annexed area of Ghuni.

Re densification and New Development Restricted Development

3.5 STRATEGIES 3.5.1 RE DENSIFICATION Due to less availability of vacant land and unutilized FAR in many wards in Rajarhat and Salt Lake, re densification has been proposed. Housing Allocation has been done according to growth potential of the wards. Also, the net density of the wards varies from 150-580 pph. Phase 1 In Phase 1, re densification has been proposed in all wards with new development majorly in ward 1, 2, 12, 13 and 14. Phase 2

In Ward number 1-6, 8, 9, 12-14, 24-41, re-densification has been proposed according to the growth potential of respective wards.

3.5.2 RESTRICTIONS The Net Density in Ward number 7, 10, 11, 15-23, 38 has been restricted. No further development of these wards is proposed due to less availability of land for Phase 2.

3.5.3 F.A.R. Unutilized FAR has provided the potential in the wards to fulfil the Housing demand in the area. In Rajarhat, FAR has been kept as per the existing byelaws. While in Salt Lake, TOD has been proposed with modified FAR as discussed in Chapter 1. Table 36 Ward wise Housing Allocation and Proposals – Phase 1 Ward

4.1 WATER SUPPLY 4.1.1 ESTIMATION OF WATER DEMAND Ward wise projected population for 2031 has been calculated as taking in consideration the natural growth as well as migration. Since there is no treated surface water supply system in RajarhatGopalpur area, a new network has been planned that would take water from the Newtown Water Treatment Plant which is going to be augmented to 100 MGD capacity. This treatment plant has intake point in Debendrabala Ghat, near Chitpur. Salt Lake has a well-designed water supply network which would not require any major intervention for future workability. Following table shows the ward wise water demand of Rajarhat-Gopalpur area.

Gross water demand has been calculated by multiplying 1.45 to the water demand (200 lpcd) that takes into consideration NRW (15%), reserve (20%) and meter loss (10%). Standard sizes of 450 kl (20 m high staging) and 900 kl (22 m high staging) (RDSO) capacity RCC reservoirshas been considered while locating Overhead reservoirs for fulfilling the storage capacity of each ward. After due reference to various Government tenders and BOQs, the rough estimates have been freezed. For projectisation the perception data obtained from primary survey has been used to prioritize the sequence of the projects. Following table shows the projectized proposals.

4.1.2

Guidelines for Rain Water Harvesting:

Due to the concretization of Rajarhat and Barasat, the ground water level has been depleting over the years. In order to stop its deterioration Rain Water Harvesting is to be done as per IS: 15797:2008,Manual on Rain Water Harvesting (RWH) (Ministry of Drinking water and sanitation) and extraction of ground water in wards with municipal connection should be subjected to permission from the BMC. Legal framework may be made so that RWH becomes an integral part of the building sanction process. The following guidelines may be followed: Table 3.7.41: Guidelines for RWH MIN.

Provided further that, the rainwater harvesting arrangement is not mandatory for thatched roofed buildings.

Among other benefits one benefit worth mentioning is that RWH may contribute in reducing water logging as it will collect most of the rain water in the storage tanks/ recharge pits.

4.1.3

Arsenic Contamination:

As the whole area of N 24 Parganas is affected by arsenic contamination of ground water, no extraction of ground water should be allowed for domestic purpose. For other purpose like construction, industry, garage etc. it should be allowed only after obtaining permission from the BMC which may be subjected to a separate tariff.

Infrastructure 4.2 SEWERAGE AND DRAINAGE SYSTEM Sewage disposal is a major concern in Rajarhat – Gopalpur area since presently the area does not have a sewerage network and many households lack soak pit. As the area receives high amount of rainfall in monsoons and have 100 percent drainage network coverage, partially separated system is proposed. Drainage and sewerage network of Salt Lake area is currently well functioning and maintained. The sewerage network in Salt Lake has carrying capacity to serve more than twice the existing population. In case of drainage network, since the ground surface is mostly hardened and there are very few vacant plots, there will not be considerable increase in surface runoff in future.

Sewerage Network

4.2.1.1 Effluent estimation for Rajarhat area The wastewater system is designed for the expected wastewater flows in the design year based on the projected population. For Rajarhat area wastewater generated is calculated assuming 225 lpcd water supply rate and waste generated is assumed to be 80 % of the water supplied and infiltration is considered 5% of ward wise effluent as water table is little high i.e. around 10-12 meter. Similarly design flow is calculated by projecting present population for design year of 2031 by using population projection figures 725725 and applying assumed lpcd rate for projected population. And it is estimated that 162 MLD Effluent will be generated in Rajarhat area by 2031. Table 0.1: Sewage Calculation for Future population Effluent including 5% Zone Ward

4.2.1.2 Sewerage network design For designing the sewer network Rajarhat area divided into 7 zones based on the availability of present and proposed wider roads more than 4 meter and slope. Also it is assured that zone boundaries are coincided with outer ward boundaries to avoid calculation errors.

4.2.1.3. Location of pumping station

Location of pumping station is identified based on gradient needed for laying the sewer line and vacant land availability, assuming the overall slope of area is negligible maximum depth for sewer is considered 4.5 meter including the 90cm cover soil.

Total of 148.1MLD effluent need to be treated through 3 new STPs and one existing STP with increased capacity. For sewage form zone one STP of capacity 24 MLD is needed for that1.2 Ha. Area required, similarly for zones 2, 3, 4, and 7(Guni area) STP of capacity 67.9 MLD and area 3.39 Ha, and for zone 6 STP of capacity 13.9 MLD required which is to be integrated with existing STP in Prafulla kanan. Location of STPs is selected considering the factors like nearness to discharge point, away from the settlements and airport.

Sanitation in Informal Settlements

Duttabad and Mahishbadhan are two major informal settlement areas in Bidhannagar Corporation. Duttabad covers ward 38 and some areas of ward 39 while Mahishbadhan covers some portion of wards 27 and 28. Duttabad is densely populated area having water bodies in between. Mahishbadhan spreads along Kestopur canal.

Mahishbadhan

According to primary survey, around 88 percent of households in Duttabad are using community toilets but in Mahishbadhan around 78.6 percent of households are having individual toilets.

In Duttabad, there is huge gap between present number of toilets and number of toilets required. According to the guidelines by Ministry of Urban Development, for the population in Duttabad the Mahishbadhan

Infrastructure ideal number of community toilets is 599 since it is high density area. And the present number of community toilets in Duttabad is 92 and desired number is 146. In case of Mahishbadhan, the gap between toilet requirement and present number of toilets is considerably low compared with Duttabad. The area is less dense and number of toilets required is 40. Present number of toilets in Mahishbadhan is 22 and the desired number according to primary survey is 30.

Infrastructure For the people in both areas, location and number of toilets are more prior to disposal of sewage. The presence of water bodies in both areas further worsens the situation. Most of the individual household toilets and community toilets have septic tanks but they are directed towards nearby water body. Some portion of Mahishbadhan area has underground sewer line laid 10 years ago. But it is not functioning and none of the households have connected their toilet pipes to it.

4.2.6 Proposals and costing •

In Mahishbadhan, gap between requirement and present no. of toilets can be eliminated by constructing 18 toilets. But in Duttabad, since there is severe space constraints it is not possible to supply ideal number of toilets. So present community toilets can be augmented to reach desired number of toilets.

Direct disposal of sewage to nearby water bodies should be strictly prohibited and new sewer line connecting community toilets in Duttabad area is recommended. In Mahishbadhan, existing underground sewer line can be connected to proposed new sewer line.

Since more number of people are willing to give their contribution in the form of time and work, community level sanitation programs are possible.

4.3 SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT 4.3.1 Introduction Bidhannagar as in any major city faces difficulty in managing its solid waste. For achieving the vision of Bidhannagar as a liveable commune an integrated solid waste management system has to be in place, which would not only address the issues with collection and disposal but also better practices like waste reduction, zero waste and lessening the dependence on landfills.

This includes

participation of the citizens, co-ordination between various governmental, non-governmental and private organisations and some policy interventions.

4.3.2 Integrated Solid Waste Management Integrated Waste Management is a concept for designing and implementing new waste management systems and for analysing and optimizing existing systems. Both technical and non-technical components of management system are involved like policies, regulations and public engagement and education. This is the need of the hour as each day the carrying capacity of the land is being challenged by the amount of waste that is generated by the urban centres. Landfilling is unavoidable but the level of sustainability targeted and achieved in other aspects would determine the quantity reaching the landfills. (Selvam & Wong, 2016)

4.3.3 Waste Generation Projections There is a strong correlation between the GDP and per capita waste generation and current trend indicates that rate of waste generation is estimated to grow at an exponential rate of 1.41 per cent per annum. (Dr Varma, 2007). This is used to calculate the per capita standards for the years 2025 and 2031 and the total waste generated in each ward is calculated based on the population and housing projections.

4.4 Primary Collection 4.4.1 Segregation Source separation of MSW is an integral component of an Integrated Waste Management system. It is a perquisite for efficient waste recycling and is critical in reducing waste quanitities, returning resources back to use and optimizing the financial and environmental burden of waste management. BMC has already enacted a source segregation scheme but has not been efficient in enforcing it. This is mainly because the collection has not been done separately for the segregated waste. Dry and recyclable wastes can be collected once in a week while wet waste (food waste) can be collected every day. Collectors have to be trained not to take in non-biodegradable waste on all the other days. The hazardous and non hazardous waste from health care facilities will have to be stored as detailed in the following table and can be handed over to the Private Common Biomedical Treatment facility serving the area. Other non hazardous dry and wet waste will be stored in separate storage containers.

4.4.2 Zones For primary collection, there shall be two types of services- door to door services for the largely plotted residential areas and community bins for group housing, commercial and institutional areas. Accordingly Bidhannagar Municipal Corporation area has been divided into various zones for primary door- to door collection services. Based on the proposed residential density in each ward as well as speed and capacity of the collection vehicles 16 zones have been identified. For door-to-door collection, each labourer may be given a handcart or pedal tricycle having six detachable containers of 25-30 litres capacity each and provided with a bell or whistle. The wards predominantly characterised by low income neighbourhoods and slums will be considered as a separate zone.

Infrastructure Requirements

4.4.4.1 Residential Gated communities and group housings where door to door services will be time consuming, will be served by central bins (100 litres capacity) or through community bins (3.0 to 4.5 cum capacity) provided at 1 bin per 20-30 households. In general, waste storage containers should be covered health and environmental harm. It is necessary to wash community bins at regular intervals to ensure a healthy and hygienic environment for users and workers. (MSWM, 2016).

City Development Plan of Bidhannagar, ARP, IIT Kharagpur

Infrastructure 4.4.4.2 Commercial Each market areas shall be provided with separate collection bins for wet, dry and hazardous waste. An additional two labourers shall be assigned to each market areas to segregate the wastes from the market areas for which extra charge maybe levied. 4.4.4.3 Institutional Different institutions will store the waste generated in a segregated manner to facilitate collection. Daily collection will be involved. Typically, four-wheeled, HDPE, injection or roto molded, international standard, UV tested bins or metal bins of different capacities—e.g., for 240 l (96 kg), 600 l (270–280 kg), 770 l (315–350 kg), 1,100 l (449–495 kg)—may be used for bulk waste (MSWM, 2016). These bins should be compatible with auto lifting by standard universal bin lifting devices on mobile compactors and other vehicles. Educational and Health care facilities will follow the above method of storage.

4.4.5

Recycling Services

Recycling is an important part of an integrated waste management system and is especially unavoidable in the current scenario. While there is recycling happening in the planning area, it is through the informal sector and somewhat unorganized. Informal rag-pickers scavenge in the dump yards to collect recyclable materials. This is unhealthy as well as inefficient. To encourage more and better recycling, a door to door collection system can be proposed in the planning area. The collection drive would happen once a week and the informal rag-pickers can be employed to do this. BMC can buy the recyclable waste from the people and resell it to the recycling industries at a slightly higher rate. This can counteract the expense required for the service or even be a source of income for the municipal body. The advantages of such a system are that it would encourage the residents to practice segregation as there is a financial incentive and since recyclable waste is collected only on a particular day. The door to door service rather than a recycling centre also increases the enthusiasm for recycling. It also reduces the health hazards associated with scavenging through waste and provides better opportunities for rag-pickers. Since there are more number of primary collection vehicles with the BMC that is required, there wouldn’t be any need for additional vehicles for the recycling service.

4.4.6

Composting

Composting is one of the most minimal impact organic waste disposal methods. It also produces usable products which can be a source of income for those producing it. Decentralized composting at community level can be an efficient tool in reducing the waste reaching landfills. It also reduces costs associated with secondary transportation if it is disposed at community level itself.

City Development Plan of Bidhannagar, ARP, IIT Kharagpur

30|P a g e


Infrastructure Community compost bins can be setup in the low income neighbourhoods and slums where primary collection is often very inefficient. BMC can assist in setting up of the system and train the inhabitants in maintaining the system. The compost can be sold by community itself or through government bodies. Markets for compost can be various government run agricultural and forest research institutions, nurseries, farms etc. This will provide additional income opportunities for the communities. This can be a pilot project in the slum areas. The practice if successful can be encouraged at other communities too. Composting can be done in 4 ft x 4 ft x 4 ft ferro-cement or bricks bins with smooth air flow through the gaps on the sides. It should be kept covered from. A layer of fresh cow dung or slurry from the biogas plants is put at the bottom of the tank to generate microbes for composting. The temperature inside the tank can go up to 750C which prevents mosquitoes and flies from entering inside. The biodegradable waste is spread over a 6-inch layer of dry leaves which have inoculums cultured from cow dung is sprinkled before the waste is spread. Each bin will have a capacity to convert two tons of waste into compost within three months. Each unit will have several bins depending up on the locality and the number of households. This is a minimal area and easy to construct setup developed by the Kerala Veterinary and Animal Science University.

4.4.10 Disposal 4.4.10.1 Waste to Energy Plants Thermal technologies are essential components of integrated solid waste management system and can dispose different types of solid waste, particularly the unsorted residual MSW. Their main benefits are: •

Significant reduction in the volume (about 80-90%) and mass (about 70-80%) of waste.

Short processing time.

Waste-to-energy was shown to have less environmental impact than almost any other source of electricity. (Arena, 2012)

Waste-to-energy plants which use gasification method are found to be the best for MSW in India. Gasification is a process where MSW (feedstock) is heated in the presence of controlled quantities of oxygen and the biogas is generated due to the thermal breakdown of the organic matter. This biogas can then be used to generate electricity or as an energy carrier for other applications. 4.4.10.2 Pre-treatment Wet waste would be dried with blowers to remove moisture and reduce its weight by 50%. The waste would then be sieved, shredded and subjected to a thermal process to create syngas which would be used to generate electricity. The by-products from the waste gasification process can be either used for creating 'eco-bricks' or dumped in the landfill. 4.4.10.3 Capacity The MSW left after recycling and composting can be disposed using this method. 100 tonnes of daily MSW can produce about 1 KW of electricity. Therefore in the first phase a 1 KW plant can be developed if 50% of the remaining waste is used which would amount to 120 tonnes per day. The capacity can be increased to 2.5 KW in the second phase if the project is successful.

4.4.10.3

Location and area requirements

The plant can be located at the landfill site itself since land is available there and extra transportation charges can be avoided. This would also make the disposal of the by-products easier. The area requirement for the plant is about 17 acres per KW capacity. In the second phase extra 25 acres maybe provided if upgraded.

Infrastructure 4.4.11 Landfill Landfill will handle all the non recyclable and non bio degradable waste that is left after incineration. It will depend upon the amount of recycling, composting and incineration that can be achieved by the system. Three scenarios are considered here: Table 3.4.3.10: Scenarios in waste management

The existing dumpyard at Mollar Bheri will be converted into a sanitary landfill and used to meet the future requirements. Mollar Bheri has an area of 988 acres left unused and will be sufficient to meet landfill requirements even in the case of scenario 3.

4.4.12 Policy Interventions Waste reduction Certain types of waste can be completely banned like the plastic carry bags and alternatives promoted.

Financial Incentives Segregation Various financial incentives can be provided to encourage segregation of waste at source. This includes reduction in the solid waste collection component of the property tax to those practising segregation and additional fees from those not willing to segregate. This can finance the extra labour needed to sort the waste at kerbside. Subsidies ncentives can also be provided to encourage installation of household biogas plants. The biogas plants can be sold at a subsidised rate for households willing to install it. Taxation Taxation can be done on incineration and landfilling to encourage better practices such as composting and recycling. Communities which are setting up compost plants and joining in recycling can be eligible for tax redemptions. This also encourages segregation indirectly. Waste-to-Energy Plants To be able to make waste to energy projects financially viable, the municipality needs to offer financial incentives to developers (to cover the latter’s risk) who relieve them of the responsibility to deal with a city’s MSW. In most successful cases across the world, this financial incentive is known as a “tipping fee” – a sum of money provided by the municipality to a developer per tonne of MSW handled. This fee usually ranges between Rs 300-600 per ton of MSW.

Public Participation •

Awareness among the general public about the practices in waste management is a vital in encouraging participation solid waste management system. There has to be regular awareness programmes to be conducted regarding reduction in waste, recycling and segregation practices. This can be done at educational institutions and by various community organisations, NGOs in coordination with Bidhannagar Municipal Corporation.

Communities can also be trained in setting up and maintenance of technologies like compost and biogas plants.

City Development Plan of Bidhannagar, ARP, IIT Kharagpur

37|P a g e


Infrastructure •

Good practices and efforts can be recognised and rewarded.

•

Monitoring of littering and dumping at vacant lands by communities.

Empowering Waste Management Employees Occupational hazard is very high to those employed in the conservancy sector. The municipal body should take measures to provide safety gears to workers handling solid waste as well as provide them with other benefits such as medical insurance due to the vulnerability to health hazards. The role of the waste-picker is currently confined to the informal economy. They are socially shunned as a community, because of the nature of their jobs. This often makes them helpless to improve their livelihood and the lives of their families. The new system needs to empower waste-pickers by engaging them in formal relationships with various social and government institutions, thereby, validating their services to municipalities.

The recycling project which has proposed to include

the rag-pickers is one such initiative.

Use of Technology Technology can be a useful tool in waste management and is something that is yet to be explored but has good potential. Smartphone applications can be developed by BMC to coordinate the door-to-door recycling drive which can then be a demand based system, thereby saving time and labour. This is successfully practised in European countries.

4.6 Healthcare facilities West Bengal has an extensive network of Government provided health care facilities but there is disparity in the level of distribution and accessibility of government provided health care facilities in Rajarhat and Bidhannagar area. Though most wards of Bidhannagar municipal corporation area is well served in terms of emergency healthcare facilities i.e. when both government and private facilities are considered, there is lack of government provided health care facility. In order to analyze the condition of public health service, the present population as well as population of 2025 and 2031 is considered Table 0.1. Population Projection 2025 &2031

INFERENCES

Wards which lack healthcare facilities It is observed that healthcare facility is not present in ward 1, ward 5, ward 8, ward 13, ward 17, ward 19, ward 20, ward 21, and ward 22, ward 25, ward 26 and ward 30. The lack of healthcare facility in these wards results in people from these wards depending on nearby wards for their healthcare needs. Poor accessibility of wards from the point of healthcare facilities can be improved by better health cover schemes and government policies as well as providing new urban primary healthcare facility to address the health concerns at underserved areas. Of the wards which do lack healthcare facility, ward 1, ward5, ward 13, ward 20, ward 22, ward 25 and Ward 26 need immediate addressal by provision of Urban primary health centre (UPHC), other wards have their areas covered by the service catchment area of healthcare facility from nearby wards. Providing a healthcare facility in ward 2, ward 7 where there is land availability can also cater to the demands of nearby wards which lack it. Functioning of existing Government healthcare facility Of the three Matrisadan in Bidhannagar Municipal corporation area, The Matrisadan in Saltlake is not functional in terms of its indoor patient treatment unit. The Vidyasagar matrisadanNagar Hospital lacks facility in terms of adequate number paramedical staff. The Deshbandhu Nagar Hospital lacks facility in terms of both doctors and paramedical staff. According to IPHS 2012, there is a compulsory need to have an anesthetist, public Health Specialist, in addition to the available specialists, namely, Surgery, Medicine, Obstetrics and Gynecology and Pediatrics. Taking into account the demand of healthcare facility needed as per population demands as well as the present service catchment area of the hospital along with its potential to cater to a larger area, it has been proposed that the number of

City Development Plan of Bidhannagar, ARP, IIT Kharagpur

45|P a g e


Infrastructure beds in Vidyasagar Matrisadan can be increased to 80 from 50, thus shifting it to the next tier i.e. Intermediate hospital (category B )In order to manage the healthcare needs of the people of Bidhannagar municipal corporation area, there is a need for capacity augmentation of existing facility and providing mobile healthcare facility which also looks into women and child health ( with Gynecologists and Pediatric services included ,)along with awareness creation of various health issues focusing on Rajarhat area is needed. Accessibility score to emergency healthcare facilities When we analyze the wards based on the accessibility score to emergency healthcare facilities,it is observed that ward 22 has the least score followed by wards 25, 26, 27. It is identified that there is a need to have a new healthcare facility in terms of a hospital to cater to all these wards and it is preferable to locate the hospitals taking into account these ward proximity as well Accessibility and coverage of government hospitals: It is observed that almost all wards fall in the domain of the service catchment area of hospitals except parts of ward 12 and 13. The proposed new hospital location can be determined by considering proximity to these wards as well. Prevalence of diseases Of the total health issues reported, it has been found that 66 % had acute diseases and 34 % had chronic diseases. There is a need to bring more people under health cover scheme as only about 20% of household surveyed reported having access to health cover schemes. The main issue that was reported was dengue and it was found that Kestopur and Mahisbathanhad reported a significant number of dengue cases. The lack of proper infrastructure facilities pertaining to solid waste management and clogged drains adds on to the deteriorating slum conditions thus making it a vulnerable dengue zone.Ward 19, ward 22, ward 24, ward 25,ward 26.ward 27,ward 28 and ward 29 are the main areas that had fallen prey to dengue attcks. These are the wards that lie along the kestopur canal areas .There is a need to address this growing number of dengue outbreaks in these areas . It has been found that provision of UPHC in those wards which lack the facility in terms of accessibility along with thrust on hygeneic conditions in slum areas need immediate focus.The identified vulnerable zone need to given immediate thrust in terms of developing physical infrastructure facilities along with necessary measure to address issues of Kestopur canal. Solidwaste management plan,proper drainage cleaning and facilities play a crucial role in addressing the dengue issue of these wards. There is a need to develop a dengue emergency response plan to reduce the risk of dengue epidemics and to strengthen control measures for any future epidemics – thereby minimizing the clinical, social and economic impact of the disease.The dengue emergency response plan should clearly articulate its aims, objectives and scope, the lead (coordinating) agency, the organizational links with other agencies that have direct responsibility for implementing aspects of the

City Development Plan of Bidhannagar, ARP, IIT Kharagpur

46|P a g e


Infrastructure plan. Since the emergency response is usually multi-sectoral, it has to be made sure that all involved partners are clear about their roles. There is a need to ensure the availability of the human resources, equipment and supplies needed for a rapid emergency response. The hospitals and government UPHC need to provided necessary awareness and should be equipped with the laboratory testing facility in order to combat the start of dengue threats. Lack of physical infrastructure facilities Lack of proper physical infrastructural facilities are one of the main causes of epidemic diseases in Bidhannagar municipal corporation area. The drains are open and blocked with waste products, plastics and lumps of mud. In these areas due to increasing level of pollution, water borne diseases as well as mosquito borne diseases were noted. The maintenance and provision of proper physical infrastructure is highly required

In the wake of outbreaks of dengue and other diseases there is a need for capacity building of the community organizations to actively monitor and intervene in the maintenance of their surroundings and to do timely action to ensure hygiene of their area. This needs to be carried out with due assistance of health department. To bring in the facility of mobile health centres (ensuring service of Gynecologist and Pediatrician is integrated) in Rajarhat area to act as a supplement to the health care needs of the area. As the role of lack of proper physical infrastructure like solid waste collection, drainage, quality of drinking water has a direct link to the outburst of diseases, emphasis to be given on developing the same and bridging the gap. Kestopur areas and Mahishbathan area to be prioritized. Regular conduction of health camps and heath awareness drives.

4.7 Educational facilities The School Education system has a dual control. The Syllabus and Curriculum as well as final evaluation are administered by the West Bengal Board of Primary Education, West Bengal Board of Secondary Education, West Bengal Council for Higher Secondary Education & West Bengal Council of Rabindra Open Schooling in their respective areas. The recognition and affiliation parts are also looked after by the said autonomous bodies under the overall guidance of the School Education Department. The general administration as well as monitoring and supervision are done by the District Inspectorate of Primary and Secondary Education under the control of the Directorate of School Education. The financial aspects as well as the service benefits of the teachers and staff are being administered by the Department of School Education through its Directorate / Inspectorate / DPSC. The School Education Department also gives much importance to new recognition of schools, setting up of new schools, upgradation of schools and also setting up of Anglo-Indian Schools. BMC area has an extensive network of Government Schools and Colleges but there is disparity in the level of distribution and accessibility of these educational institutions in the area. Though most wards of Bidhannagar municipal corporation area is well served in terms of primary and secondary schools, there is a dearth of kindergarten in most of the wards and of higher level schools in some of them. Consideringboth government and private facilities, there is lack of schools in the accessible distances in many of the neighbourhoods. In order to analyze the condition of Educational Institutions, the present population as well as populations of 2021 and 2031 is considered: Table 4.7.1: Population Projection 2021 &2031

Provision of School for 13 physically Challenged and 1 School for Mentally Challenged also needs to be given. Due to scarcity of land only 5 schools for Physically Challenged can be provided in the BMC area so as to serve larger population rather than 45000 for one as suggested in URDPFI. More than Sufficient number of colleges and Vocational Institutes are there in the Salt Lake area which also serves the population of the Rajarhat area. Moreover due to the problem traffic Congestion and scarcities of large plots of land in the Rajarhat area, no large institutions are being proposed there.

4.7.2 Finance The West Bengal government has released Rs. 50 crore for developing infrastructure and improving facilities in government and government-aided schools. Of the total allotment, over Rs. 45 crore would be used to build classrooms at 528 schools in Kolkata and 18 districts of the state, including Howrah, Hooghly, Jalpaiguri, Alipurduar, Cooch Behar and Malda. The rest of the money would be utilised to install safe drinking water systems at 120 primary, 130 upper-primary and around 100 higher-secondary schools. The cost of construction of a Higher Secondary School is varies from 8.48 to 8.93 million and can go upto 14.46 million, while construction a secondary schools costs around 7.467 million.construction a primary scool costs 1.41 millionand can go upto2.49 to2.95 million.

5. TRAFFIC AND TRANSPORT


Traffic & Transportation

5.1 INTRODUCTION Bidhannagar Municipal Corporation is comprised of two distinct areas, one is a planned city (Salt Lake) and on the other hand other area is deprived of basic services like abutting drains, feeder services, Para-transit; given the different requirements both are treated separately as per physical and Socio-economic conditions of the area. It is observed through the primary survey, that the current condition of the transportation network is up to the current requirement on some part of Network and the other is performing worse. In any, such case there are aspects which need immediate intervention as there are raising incidences of inadequacy of current infrastructure. The evident areas of concern include: congestion at network nodes, lack of public transit, insufficient infrastructure for pedestrians; lack of supporting infrastructure for bicyclers, insufficient traffic management; non-availability of parking spaces in the central business area; uncontrolled freight traffic.

5.2 VISION The vision for the city of Bias to encourage integrated development through an accessible system of transport that responds to the infrastructural needs of the people as well as the city.

5.3.1 OBJECTIVE 1. Improvement of accessibility to wards with connectivity to the major roads. 2. Widening of roads to reduce the load on the road and to avoid congestion. 3. Proposals for new links. 4. Measures to reduce the spill over of the commercial activities on to the roads. 5. Geometry correction of intersections to improve the visibility and traffic flow. 6. Provision and organizing formal parking spaces and measures to control and regulate on street parking to reduce traffic choking points. 7. Identifications of areas lacking in public and Para transit facilities. 8. Freight corridors defined with proper scheduling and parking facilities to reduce the traffic overload on the main corridors. All these objectives have been conceptualized in two phases:

5.3.2 PHASE 1 FOR YEAR 2025 This is Phase of development of new roads in city area to decongest the traffic as well as the aforementioned upcoming challenges have to be mitigated before they show a negative impact on the Functioning of the city. 1. Improvement of existing roads is to be undertaken at the earliest to ensure unhindered vehicular movement. 2. Improvement of intersections through channelization and signalization.

City Development Plan of Bidhannagar, ARP, IIT Kharagpur

1|P a g e


Traffic & Transportation 3. Creation of new links to decongest traffic on existing roads.

5.3.3 PHASE 2 FOR YEAR 2031 This is the development phase of the plan period in which the major emphasis will be on preparing the city’s infrastructure to meet future demand and to establish systems that will enable an intelligent functioning of the transportation system. 1.

Widening of existing roads is to be undertaken to ensure efficient vehicular movement.

2. Setting up of logistic hub outside the main city area for handling of freight. 3. Setting up of other related infrastructures.

5.3 TRAVEL DEMAND FORECASTING 5.3.1 TRIP GENERATION 5.3.1.1 TRIP PRODUCTION 450 households are surveyed in BMC, with an average sample size of 10 per ward across Rajarhat and Salt Lake. The survey is carried out by creating a tour diary of each household, i.e., activities performed by each member of the household throughout the day. The mode used, time taken and cost incurred or their combination is listed alongside the activity. These activities are out in four broad categories, work trips, educational trips, shopping trips and other trips. Trips generated in each category in the sample area listed along with the residential area of the ward from where the trips area originating. Therefore, total trips in the ward to the total sample trips are multiplied with the residential share of the ward out of the total area of BMC. Thus trips/1000 sq. ft. of residential area is calculated in each ward. Using a whole-to-part approach the total trip produced in BMC is estimated from the sample. Refer Annexure for calculations and trips in each category

5.3.1.2 TRIP ATTRACTION Attraction in the wards are calculated based on -No. of Shops and Customers -Offices -Schools and Hospitals This data is listed against the area share of commercial & 25% of mixed use, offices, educational and health infrastructure of each ward. In this manner trips attracted per 1000 sq. ft. of respective area is calculated.

5.4 EXTENSION OF ROAD INFRASTRUCTURE 5.4.1 NEW ROAD LINKS Proposal of new regional link in the northern part of BMC is to provide better accessibility to the wards which do not have good connectivity to the sub-arterial and arterial roads. Hence, a30-meter-wide road with service lane is proposed in this region so that it can connect the New-town junction with the Barasat junction in the north while providing better connectivity to the wards 1-4 in the Narayanpur region (fig 5.4 1). The road link proposed for de-congestion of the wards 15 to 27 connects the Chinar park main road and the Salt Lake MRTS via Adarshapally road. This road link will act as a sub arterial road that collects the traffic from collector roads of Hatiara, Jagatpur, Sukantapally, Kestopur, Krishnapur etc. and connects them with the nearby MRTS (under construction,2018) via Ghuni (panchayat area). Hence, the accessibility between two important metro junctions i.e. Chinar park and Salt Lake, is taken care providing opportunities for better accessibility to these wards (fig 5.4 1) There are other new road links that has been proposed to cater the increased traffic and footfall within wards where there would be new residential and commercial establishments coming up in the near future based on the demand. These links could be seen in wards 6-12 (fig 5.4 1)

5.4.2 WIDENING OF ROAD LINKS Increase in the demand for new residential and commercial establishment in wards that have high density increases the traffic and footfall in that region which could not be catered by the existing infrastructure facilities in each ward. Hence, widening of roads by various techniques is proposed in places where there is opportunity to widen (fig 5.4 1).

5.5 VOLUME/CAPACITY RATIO ANALYSIS AND PROPOSALS FOR IMPROVEMENT OF ROAD LINKS AND INTERSECTIONS 5.5.1 VEHICLE PROJECTION The present AAGR (Average Annual Growth Rate) of fast motorized vehicles in BMC is 8.64%. Due to the growing traffic, the roads are getting saturated. In future, the effort would be to encourage usage of various modes of public transportation which would decrease the growth of personal vehicles, decongest the city and help in managing the environmental degradation. Substantial improvement program of the level of service offered by the Metro with an outreach program, buses and other modes of public transportation would reduce the dependency on private vehicles. Thus, it is projected that the motorized vehicles are likely to grow at a rate of 5 per cent per annum. Table 5 : Number of Personal Vehicles Year

5.5.2 CHANNELIZATION AND SIGNALING INTERSECTIONS TRAFFIC FLOW AT SIGNALIZED INTERSECTIONS Improvement strategies for intersections can be categorized at three levels. First is channelling of the traffic using signage or minor diversion of the traffic flow. For greater degree of intervention, signalization of intersection is practiced. In cases where these methods fail to provide adequate optimization of traffic, grade separated intersections are designed for traffic management. Through the primary survey of BMC, some important road intersections were identified, that require traffic management. Principle followed: Webster’s delay model The components of signalizing of intersections can be enumerated as: 1. Development of a phase plan and sequence 2. Timing of yellow and all-red intervals for each phase. 3. Determination of cycle length. 4. Green time distribution. The appropriate cycle length can be estimated by Webster’s Formula:

Where, C= OptimalCycleLengthinseconds

đ??‚đ??‚ =

đ?&#x;?đ?&#x;?. đ?&#x;“đ?&#x;“ ∗ đ??‹đ??‹ + đ?&#x;“đ?&#x;“ đ?&#x;?đ?&#x;? − ∑đ??‚đ??‚đ??‚đ??‚

L= TotalLostTimeduringacycle CS= SumoflowratiosofCriticalmovements From the primary survey data analysis, it is found that most of the roads or road stretches are adequate with respect to its volume by capacity ratio. But after taking into consideration the future growth of traffic and the future projection of travel demand, it is obtained that there is a requirement for signalization in some of the intersections. The details of signalizations are described hereafter. The proposed interventions for these road intersections are shown in the figures on subsequent pages.

City Development Plan of Bidhannagar, ARP, IIT Kharagpur

20|P a g e


Traffic and Transportaion exiting demands of users, proper infrastructure will also provide incentives to residents to shift to cycles for complete or part of the trip. Two primary factors are used to determine the location and extent of NMT corridors. Firstly, top five junctions are identified with the highest cycle riders in peak hour. These are Kaikhali (Ward), Chinar Park (Ward), Clock Tower (Ward), Karunamoyee (Ward) and Duttabad Junction (Ward). Secondly, those corridors are identified where Metro Stations exist or will come up as a part of the KMRC proposal, since the presence of bicycle tracks in those regions will help to enhance use of cycles as last mile connecters. The cycle tracks fall in two categories, i.e. •

A lane is allotted and demarcated, out of the existing vehicular lanes, this is the prototype for the corridors in Salt Lake, while

A separate, raised track is constructed either in the ROW of existing road by removing encroachment or acquiring private lane, for Rajarhat area.

The tracks need to be supported by allied infrastructure, these include, Bicycle Parking, Bike Sharing System and Information Kiosk. For the ease of execution, the proposal is divide into 2 phases, such that, PHASE 1: Chinar Park, Kaikhali and Karunamoyee, along the periphery of the Central Park, Broadway Road and road parallel to Salt Lake Bypass on the eastern flank of Salt Lake. PHASE 2: Along E. M. Bypass, 3rd, 4th and 5th Cross Road, VIP Road, Adarshpally Road along Kestopur Khal, Canal Side Road along Kestopur Canal Phasing is done on with priority to those corridors that will cater to metro station in Salt Lake and Northern region, Phase 2 will help to establish an integrated NMT corridor network across BMC.

5.6.1 TRANSIT ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT 5.6.1.1 TRIP FOR TOD IN KOLKATA The recent development in the public transport system in Kolkata which include planned Metro system and Bus Transit Services, in spite of that the level of services in Kolkata has been unable to deliver efficient, comfortable and affordable mobility options to its citizens. The current lack of connectivity to and from Metro stations, abundant subsidized car and bicycle parking options as well as a lack of safety for walkers, cyclists and women in the city has resulted in public transportation being relegated to second or even last choice of travel, which has led to significant Road Congestion and heavy pollution along the Transit Corridors. The problem has become a so prominent that it is feared that it might have an irreversible damage on Environment and Physical Infrastructure of the City.

5.6.1.2DEFINITION OFTRANSIT ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT: Transit Oriented Development is essentially any development, macro or micro that is focused around a transit node, and facilitates complete ease of access to the transit facility thereby inducing people to prefer to walk and use public transportation over personal modes of transport. The Primary Goals of TOD are to: i.

Reduce/ discourage dependency on private vehicles and promote public transportation usage– through Infrastructure design, policy measures & enforcement.

ii.

Provide easy access to public transport such that maximum number of people within commutable distance – through densification and enhanced connectivity.

5.6.1.3GOALS AND BENEFITS OF TOD IN Kolkata: “Synergy between Transport and Land Use” states that “The concept of the Master Plan for Kolkata 1979 was based on a poly-nodal, polycentric, distribution of work centres, largely based on road transport nodes. A major fall-out of this has been distortion between infrastructure, transport and land use. To achieve spatial balance, development should take place according to new Transit corridors of mass movement. This has implications in terms of land use planning along major transport corridors and the Mass Rapid Transport / Transit System. This would not only help to solve, to some extent, the enormous problems of mass transportation, but would also generate a dynamic potential for growth and employment. TOD shall provide the following benefits to Kolkata (BMC area): •

5.6.1.4INFLUENCE ZONE PLAN: A Detailed Influence Zone Plan is a document that provides a framework and vision for future TOD development for a single or a set of MRTS stations. Any public or private development within the Influence Zone Plan Areas must adhere to the overall strategies, framework and benchmarks provided by the Plan. The Plan shall be prepared or be approved by the competent Planning Authority for each influence zone area in a phased manner, customized to site characteristics and context. The plan shall include the following components: A. Urban Design Framework – This would include: •

Higher ease-of –use bicycle infrastructure

Street Network Plan indicating street hierarchy and character

Landscape and Open Space Structure indicating type of open spaces and distribution of play areas. To include planting strategy for all street trees.

Net FAR and residential densities for each block within the Influence Zone

Vertical mix of uses for each TOD parcel indicating location of civic amenities within mixed –use blocks. To include location of ‘unbundled’ parking sites for shared use.

Three-dimensional site briefs for each block within the Influence Zone indicating recommended massing and organization of uses.

Location and numbers of short and long term parking spaces

Transport Impact Assessment & Mitigation Strategies: This would include strategies for: •

Achieving the desired modal shift, in particular mode shift for short trips

Street network improvement through assessment of existing capacity and augmentation of network as required through new linkages, alternate routes, junction designs etc. for all modes with priority for public transport, pedestrians, cyclists / NMT.

Integrated strategy for Public transport, Pedestrian and Cycle access

Determining the optimum mix of uses to mitigate negative impact on surrounding land uses and transport networks

5.7 PARKING Parking is one of the major problems in the transportation sector in the BMC area. The root cause for a large number of other problems such as traffic congestion points, safety risks, accidents etc. can be attributed to the improper or absence of proper parking facilities and regulations. The proposals for negating the issue can be classified into physical solutions, which include dedicated parking facilities and proper demarcation of on road parking areas and also policy level interventions such as parking restricted and parking banned areas depending on the condition and also regulation regarding owning and operating parking facilities in the private sector.

5.7.1 CONSIDERATIONS At present, there are only 4 formal parking areas under the BMC, which is clearly lesser than the required number. While considering locations for the proposed parking facilities, the major considerations where, location of current informal parking areas, current commercial and institutional facilities, future land use proposal and direction of growth, proposed commercial and institutional areas. A hierarchy of parking facilities has been formed and the type and level of facilities to be provided at each chosen point is determined after considering facts like, the number of commercial entities, expected footfall, adequacy of current facilities and scope of augmentation of the existing facilities etc.

5.7.2 PARKING FACILITIES 5.7.2.1

SMALL SCALE FACILITY

These are facilities that have capacity of holding 5-10 vehicles at a time, they are proposed to be in areas with lesser concentration of commercial entities and social infrastructure provisions such as hospitals or higher order recreational facilities such as regional parks. They are aimed to serve the local community level parking needs such as the parked vehicles in front of a temple or a small-scale club or park. The locations are identified based on these factors. The area required for a facility would range from 75 sqm to 150 sqm for the proposed capacity on ground. These small-scale facilities are proposed to be at ground level as the scale is not large enough to justify the cost of a multilevel parking facility. 7 new small parking facilities are proposed and locations are indicated in figure 6.2.1 5.7.2.2

LARGE SCALE FACILITY

These are facilities that have capacity of up to 30 vehicles. They are proposed in areas with high activity such as market areas and social infrastructure facilities such as schools, hospitals, parks etc. The area required will be around 300 sqm at ground level, which will be reduced in case of multilevel parking facilities. Multilevel parking is a plausible option as the area is already densely developed and the search for land would be hard and tedious. These facilities could also integrate services like maintenance and repairs of automobiles to improve their attractiveness and also to increase the income generated from the facility.

5 new large-scale parking facilities are proposed and locations

are indicated in figure 6.2.1

5.7.3 ON STREET PARKING It is one of the major problems of the area. It needs to be addressed in a proper manner along with sufficient overhead, in terms of human resource and economy, for the proper enforcement of these proposals. Only roads with sufficient width should be allowed to have on street parking and on other roads they should be shifted to the proposed facilities. Parking structure/shed should be made mandatory for sanctioning new building permits in the area to reduce the number of vehicles parked on the narrow roads in the residential zones. These should be properly enforced and checked upon issuing the completion certificate for the structure by the authorities. Proposed routes with permitted on street parking is marked in fig 6.3.1 attached below. 5.7.3.1

PARKING RESTRICTIONS There should be clear demarcation of the area assigned for on street parking along roads with sufficient width.

Along other roads, on street parking should be restricted, unless it is for a short period less than 10 minutes.

On local or residential roads parking should not be allowed.

Traffic and Transportaion

5.7.4 OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE The facilities can either be on public sector built owned and operated by the BMC or it can be built and owned by the BMC but is operated and maintained by private entities on contract basis paying the BMC an annual sum as the rent. Or it can be entirely in private sector, but they need to get permission from BMC after paying a sum as the fee and also BMC should oversee and make sure that all standards are followed and all the services offered are up to par. A part of the expense can also be recouped by making and lending out area for advertisements within these facilities under the supervision of BMC.

5.7.5 FUNDING Initial funding for the project can be either from the BMC’s budgetary allocation for improvement of infrastructure or the project can be envisioned under the local development fund of the elected representative that is the Member of Parliament or member of Legislative Assembly. The amount needed will depend on the number of facilities proposed and the scale of the projects. 5.7.5.1

PHASING

The entire proposal has been divided into two phases, PHASE I- FROM 2019-2025 This phase will have; •

Implementation of parking regulations.

Modification of the building sanction process.

Construction and operations of small scale parking facilities where land is readily available in public domain.

Tendering and processing of private partners for the large-scale parking facilities.

PHASE II- FROM 2025-2031 This phase will have; •

Construction and operation of large scale facilities.

Construction and operation of the rest of the small-scale facilities.

Transfer of operation to private entities of already constructed facilities.

Traffic and Transportaion

5.8 BUS ROUTES 5.8.1 PROPOSED BUS SERVICE TILL 2031 The Bidhannagar municipal corporation comprises of two parts one is Salt Lake area and other is northern part. In the salt area there is no need to add the new route and links for the future growth. But in the northern part lacks with the intra city bus transit system. A new bus transit route (route 1) can be developed or proposed to improve the accessibility of the area. The routes (route 2) have been decided to reduce the load or to decongest the market areas where most of the people choice is to use paratransit instead of public transport as it takes more time due to narrow width of the road and on street parking due to lack of parking areas. Route (3) has been decided for the direct connection of the northern part to Salt Lake area or Karunamoyee bus terminal. The details of the bus routes enumerated below. 5.8.1.1 ROUTE1: EXTENSION OF BUS ROUTE FROM NARAYANPUR MARKET TO SARADAPALLY 3.3 KM. The development proposed in this region requires demand of public transport to increase the accessibility in the area. So, in this case there is a need for public transport. All the buses which stopped over there in Narayanpur market as the last stoppage area will not stop over there but continue till Saradapally and in future this road may connects with the Barasat area. Bus stops in this route are at near Shishu Udyan, the Narkel Bagan playground, near to church area, Khadihati, Kalinath, Mukherjee High School and near Kali Temple. 5.8.1.2 ROUTE2: CHANGE OF BUS ROUTE FROM RAVINDRAPALLY MARKET AREA TO ADARSHAPALLY ROAD (4.5KM) In this area people use paratransit over public transport as a feeder service. Due to the congestion and narrow roads some of the bus routes can be divert from Ravindrapally market area to Adarshpally road to reduce the congestion due to the transit service and it will help to reduce the time of commuters who used this route. Bus stops in this route are at Jagatpur Bridge, Shiv Kali Mandir, Mridha Market Bridge, Gaurangnagartoto stand. 5.8.1.3 ROUTE 3: SARADAPALLY TO KARUNAMOYEE BUS STAND VIA BERA BERI GHOS PARA, HATIARA (10KM) There is a need to propose a new public transport route which connects the upper northern part with Salt Lake area and other major part of nearby city via Hatiara area to improve the accessibility in that area as a new road is already proposed over there. The routes have been decided as per the requirement of new routes to reduce the load on the VIP route. The frequency and ridership are planned accordingly. Bus stops in this route are at shitlamandirGhos para, Narayanpur Vivekananda

5.9 URBAN FREIGHT MANAGEMENT 5.9.1 REGULATED TIMINGS The existing time of restriction can be followed as they tend to reduce the congestion due to freight traffic during the peak hours of the day. The goods inflow for industrial purpose is mostly after 9 pm as they are restricted between 8 am to 8 pm into the city area. There are cases where the goods are delivered during the restricted timings with the help of LCVs. The goods inflow for commercial purpose is restricted between 8am to noon and from 4pm to 8pm. The freight traffic is high during the early morning hours than the late evening hours due to the demand for goods that are to be received by various shops and market within the city limit.

5.9.2 PROPOSED FREIGHT CORRIDORS AND TRUCK TERMINAL The existing freight corridors are catering to the current demand of goods and services although there is congestion due to freight movement in the city area right after 9 pm especially at Kaikhali junction. The new road that has been proposed near the airport boundary in ward 6 is for catering the industrial goods movement in that region so that reduces the traffic congestion on the Narayanpur road. The new regional link that has been proposed between Barasat and New Town via Narayanpur will reduce the freight traffic that enters Kaikhali junction. Similarly, the new sub-arterial connecting Chinar Park and Salt Lake will reduce the freight traffic plying on VIP road as shown in map 6.9.1. As the demand increases for commercial establishments, there are links that are widened to accommodate the demand for freight movement in these wards. The truck terminal is proposed in the northern part of the municipality area i.e. the Narayanpur area where most of the freight traffic has an access through (map 6.9.1). This will act as a major hub for transaction of goods from HCVs to LCVs for further distribution into the city areas during the restricted hours.

6.1 URBAN GREENING STRATEGIES 6.1.1 Plantation along Major Roads Plantation is a major way to reduce urban temperature level. Plantation along dividers can curb dust, pollution and restore aesthetic looks of the transit corridor. Planned plantation needs to be included with a choice of air/ noise pollution resistant tree species in order to minimize ambient air/ noise pollution. Evergreen plants are recommended for roads. Tall trees are not suitable as they interfere with electric and telephone lines and moreover are safety hazards on the road. Medium trees are ideal for screening. Near market places and congested areas, the trees known for behaving as 'pollution sink' are proposed. Trees are selected based on their properties of absorbing the pollutants, filtering the air from pollutants, and acting as noise barrier. Near sensitive areas like schools and hospitals, tall trees with thick canopies can create a wind screen through which the air can be filtered and the noise levels be considerably reduced.

6.1.1.1 Location of Plantation Major roads selected are VIP Road, road

CHINAR

leading to CC2 from Chinar Park, Road along CC1 Area, Road along Kestopur Canal and Road along Technopolis. Plantation along these major roads will

than 5m. The spacing between tress is considered as 12m based on their shape and foliage. 333 trees are to be provided for every 1km distance.

BENGAL CHEMICALS

Only two rows of shrubs will be planted on median with width less than 5m. The plants will be at a spacing of 1.5 m from the inner edge of the median. 666 trees are to be provided for every 1km distance.

6.1.1.3 List of Plant Species Plantation is one of the most important constituent of environment. Trees and shrubs have been used to enhance the natural ambient temperature, air and noise pollution along the highly congested corridors. The planting species are decided based on the physical growth characteristics of trees, like form and shape, foliage pattern, growth rate, branching pattern, etc. While selecting the species of trees for landscaping a great care has been taken to choose from the already existing indigenous species along the project corridor. The selection of plant types and planting arrangement has been based on the exogenous properties of plants to reduce levels of SO2, NO2, CO and PM in air and provide noise buffer to the surrounding region.

6.1.3 Vertical Greening on Metro Pillars With the increased expansion of city boundaries and the dense urban growth there is a gradual deterioration of the existing microclimate due to high air pollution, noise pollution, rising urban temperatures are few phenomena accompanied. The rapid growth in land requirement has led to massive deforestation. Within the urban areas there is hardly any green patch left. The cities have lost their carbon sinks. With the realization of the need of green areas, a lot of research is being undertaken in this sector. In this context, the subject of green walls also known as vertical gardens subscribes to the notion of sustainable design and its growing popularity manifests the unbreakable bond between man and nature. It is the growing of plants by expansion of the plantation area vertically into space rather than the conventional gardening on land. The system can be a tower of stacked containers or a multilevel of growing troughs.

6.1.3.1 Requirements of Vertical Garden The vertical garden utilizes the survival of plants based on light, carbon dioxide, suitable temperature, water and minerals. It does not necessitate the requirement of soil. To ensure the security

City Development Plan of Bidhannagar, ARP, IIT Kharagpur

8|P a g e


Environment of the structure for vertical garden, it is necessary to make a supporting construction and plan watering and nutrition systems.

6.1.3.2 Structural Requirements The vertical garden as authored by Patrick Blanc consists of three parts: a supporting construction, waterproof layer and a vegetation layer where plants take root. The watering system is placed between layers of felt. Each of the layers can be structured into any shape. The supporting construction usually is generally a light metal frame. The waterproof layer is a standard 1 cm thick PCV sheet; this layer protects the structure against water and also brings stiffness to it. As the substrate, on which plants can take root, a thick felt layer is used. The felt made from polyamide is resistant to biodegradation and it also provides retention and distribution of water and microelements. The watering system should provide continuous water circulation. The watering process begins from the top of the structure. Then water is supplied successively to the roots of plants planted below. Unused water flows down on the felt layer and is collected on the bottom and pumped to the top to be re-used.the watering system can be programmed automatically which makes the system more efficient, reduces the labour manpower required and the mixture of nutrients can be adjusted in accordance with plants’ needs in a given part of the day. The pillars are covered by a mesh like frame, on which small pots with plants are mounted. The closely fitted rows of potted plants rise up, giving the pillars the look of vertical gardens as done in case of Delhi or the coir mesh being used in Kochi metro pillars. With an automated drip irrigation system installed within the garden, the plants will get their daily dose of 100 ml of water.

6.1.3.3 Benefits of Vertical Gardens All plants act as natural air filters which enrich the air with oxygen, and plants in vertical gardens are no exceptions. They reduce smog, pollutants, Volatile Organic Compounds, toxins such as benzene and formaldehyde, and dust. Vertical Walls also form effective sound barriers, reducing the impact of sound pollution. It also helps in reducing the urban heat island effect and makes city cooler.All these factors contribute to reducing the carbon footprint.studies have shown a dramatic increase in biodiversity around urban farms, and vertical gardens fulfil a similar role by providing a comfortable environment for small birds and beneficial insects.

6.2 WATER QUALITY MANAGEMENT 6.2.1 Arsenic Pollution Among the 42 wards under BMC, 23 of them have significantly higher levels of arsenic problems, especially in northern BMC (Hatiara, Gopalpur etc.) with 20% of the taps having contamination of more than 50 microgram/litre (Indian standard) and about 40% more than 10 microgram/litre (WHO standards). The arsenic contamination threat in Kolkata has changed alarmingly since 2009; threat have increased in number, that this increase in contamination isn’t just related to the increase in population, but also dependent on the “lack of groundwater replenishment in certain regions. The area has jumped into the red zone. In order to curb the problem, dependency on groundwater needs to be reduced. As per the new Master Plan, water supply lines are being proposed and networked throughout BMC. In parts where the water supply network cannot be extended to, needs to be Figure 60: Areas Requiring Arsenic Filter City Development Plan of Bidhannagar, ARP, IIT Kharagpur Installation 13|P a g e

6.2.2 Preservation of Water Bodies Ponds are an integral component of the hydrological system; and perform diverse roles in the biosphere. Ponds are an important freshwater habitat which, at landscape level, play critical role in maintaining biodiversity. However, they are also vulnerable to degradation. With proper planning ponds can bring major benefits in terms of biodiversity, pollution alleviation, flood relief and climate change. At micro level they are remarkably cheap, and easy to make, manage and protect. Moreover, the pond’s ecosystem connects directly with the community people. Ponds, which maintain cultural and economic resources, are increasingly becoming threatened freshwater habitat. Dumping of

City Development Plan of Bidhannagar, ARP, IIT Kharagpur

Environment wastes subsequently make the water bodies natural breeding grounds for mosquitoes spreading diseases such as dengue. To curb the spread of diseases like dengue it is necessary to fence the city ponds to check the waste dumping activities in ponds. This can also be done by planting aquatic plants which reduce nuisance and are aesthetically appealing and may lead to seized dumping activities. It is a cost efficient alternative which requires minimum attention and maintenance. This project is carried out in 2 phases, 2019-2015 ns 2026-2030. First phase targets all the waterbodies surrounded by residential development to retain the quality of life of the people. Second phase targets at the beautification of ponds in northern areas where development is comparatively less.

6.3 AIR QUALITY MANAGEMENT The variety of hazardous pollutants that can occur in air or water also leads to many different interventions. Interventions pertaining to environmental hazards are often more sustainable if they address the driving forces behind the pollution at the community level rather than attempt to deal with specific exposures at the individual level.An individual can help in controlling air pollution by using alternate means of transportation. Minimizing the need to travel helps to reduce the number of vehicles on road resulting in minimizing air pollutants and decreasing travel time. The municipality

City Development Plan of Bidhannagar, ARP, IIT Kharagpur

Environment has to encouraging e-governancethat can help avoid physical travelling. Also, a number of crossing points inside the city increase the congestion and air pollutants. There is a need to identify the possibilities to develop flyover bridges and alternate routes within the city area in order to improve the mobility. Use of lower emission vehicles, such as vehicles meeting specified Bharat emission standards should be promoted. Alternative fuels such as CNG, LPG, biogas should be considered to rum public transport vehicles as a start. Proper permissions should be given to construction activities and measures should be taken to avoid excessive dust in the surround area. Thus, on study and analysis of the various causes and trajectories of events the following proposals have been considered to address the environmental concerns of the area.

6.3.1 Proposal for Cleaning and Washing of Major Road Stretches Non-exhaust emissions from road vehicles are a significant source of particulate matter (PM) in the atmosphere. These emissions come from several sources including the wear of vehicle parts, such as tyres and brakes, and the road surface, and the resuspension of dust deposited on the road surface. Non-exhaust PM is deposited on the road surface and can become suspended (or resuspended) in the air through the action of vehicle tyres, vehicle induced turbulence and wind blow. This road dust contributes towards the exceedance of air pollutant limit values for PM10. Dust builds up on paved road surfaces from a wide range of sources including track-out from unpaved areas such as construction and industrial sites and parking lots, spills from lorries, and transport of dirt collected on vehicle undercarriages and atmospheric deposition. In recent years there have been a number of trials to determine the most effective means of controlling these emissions. This lead to the focus on the potential role to reduce ambient PM10 concentrations by street cleaning, i.e. the sweeping and washing of street surfaces. Flushing is the term often used to describe the spraying of high pressure water onto a road surface to wash dust into the drains.

6.3.2 Improvement in Public Transportation - Existing Proposal of e-Buses Kolkata received the approval for the procurement of 40 electric buses. The tender was released by West Bengal Transport Corporation Limited (WBTCL) for the procurement of 20 AC midi e-buses and 20 AC standard e-buses, with 7 years of warranty. The seating capacity of 26 and 31 passengers was fixed for midi and standard bus respectively. The authority asked for the Supply, installation and commissioning of 30 slow charging and 10 fast charging facilities stations for midi and standard buses. Minimum range of the vehicle with battery should not be less than 150km per charge. The price includes the FAME Subsidy component. Centre will provide for 60 per cent of the cost of the buses while the state government will put in the rest. This was undertaken as an attempt to check pollution as the prime reason for air pollution is emission from vehicles. The department is looking into the implementation of Bharat Stage IV emission norms and following that the proposal for battery operated buses to replace diesel buses was considered. These electric buses would run on rechargeable batteries. The cost of these buses is comparatively higher than the normal ones but the running and maintenance cost is considerably low and also contributes to reduction in noise levels.

6.4 SOLAR POTENTIAL OF SALTLAKE Considering the Solar Potential for Salt Lake of Bidhannagar Municipal Corporation various schemes and methods has been formulated. Average solar irradiation in West Bengal is 1156.39 W/sq.m. 1kW solar rooftop plant will generate on an average over the year 4.6 kWh of electricity/day (considering 5.5 hours of sunshine)

6.4.1 MNRE Subsidy The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) provides Central Financial Assistance through capital and/or interest subsidy (depending on the nature of the applicant). The summary of the subsidy scheme is provided in the table below.  The benchmark cost for setting up a solar PV plant is Rs. 170/W (With battery providing 6 hours of autonomy) and Rs. 100 per W (without battery) i.e. if the actual project cost exceeds this amount then project cost will be deemed to be the benchmark cost for calculating the subsidy.  Benchmark costs are for systems with 5- year warranty for all components (inverters, batteries, switchgear, etc.) other than PV modules which are warranted for 90% of output at end of year 10 and 80% at end of year 25. PV modules have to be made in India to avail subsidy.

6.4.2 Component Costs A rooftop solar PV system costs approximately Rs. 1,00,000 per kW including installation charges but without batteries and without considering incentives (which are discussed further down). The cost breakup for a 1kW system is given in Error! Reference source not found.: Table 41: Component Costs of Rooftop Solar Installations COMPONENT

Note:  The above prices are for components from Tier 1 manufacturers with 5-year manufacturer’s warranty. In addition, the PV modules have output warranty of 90% of rated capacity for the first 10 years and 80% of rated capacity for the next 15 years.  Battery backup is not considered here, as that can alter the economics significantly depending on the extent of battery backup (autonomy) required. Not only do batteries add to the initial cost, recurring maintenance, and replacement expenditure, the energy loss on charging and drawing from the battery also adds to the cost of power. A battery backup would add about Rs. 25,000 to the cost of the above system.

City Development Plan of Bidhannagar, ARP, IIT Kharagpur

25|P a g e


Environment  Thin-Film modules are not considered here, as they require more installation area for the same capacity as crystalline modules and are therefore not preferred for rooftop installations where space is usually a constraint.

6.4.3 Accelerated Depreciation Accelerated depreciation of 80% is available under the Income Tax act for rooftop solar PV systems. This can provide significant savings to a solar plant developer who is a taxable assets and has sufficient profits against which the depreciation can be charged, which is illustrated in Error!

6.4.4 Variations in Pricing Prices of solar PV systems offered by various vendors can differ significantly. There can be several reasons for the variations in price, such as:  Overstatement of capacity – Some vendors advertise a rooftop system with 1 KW modules (solar panels) and a 5 kW inverter as a 5 KW system. As the electricity is generated by the modules this system only has a 1 kW capacity and the price offered.  Brands – Products from Tier I manufacturers are typically more expensive but offer much better performance and reliability Certifications/Standards – Products that are certified and meet quality standards are more expensive.  Warranties – The price of the system can depend on the warranties offered.  PV Panels – Industry standard warranty is 5-year manufacturer warranty 0-10 years for 90% of the rated output power 10-25 years for 80% of the rated output power. Other systems – Inverters, mounting structures, cables, junction boxes, etc. typically come with a 1year manufacturer warranty which can be extended to 5 years.

Further, as per the availability of rooftop area of the buildings, as specified above, has been calculated for government and institutional buildings separately In the Government sector the total available rooftop area is 595 sq.m, which is capable of generating 11.9kWh of power and 16422kW electricity annually, at the cost of Rs. 773500. The monthly instalment to repay the loan would be Rs.9570 per month for a period of 10 years or Rs. 6202 per month if the repayment would be over the entire lifetime of installation. In the Institutional sector the total available rooftop area is 943 sq.m, which is capable of generating 18.9kWh of power and 26082kW electricity annually, at the cost of Rs. 352800. The monthly instalment to repay the loan would be Rs.10639 per month for a period of 10 years or Rs. 6896 per month if the repayment would be over the entire lifetime of installation. The cost of the installation formulates to be approximately 11,26,000 lakhs/kW and the total cost of 9.3kWh is approximately Rs. 3,46,90,040(3.5crore), which could be phased over five years, with the joint effort of MNRE (25.2%), Municipal Corporation (15.11%), and Private sector (59.69%).

6.3 AIR QUALITY MANAGEMENT The variety of hazardous pollutants that can occur in air or water also leads to many different interventions. Interventions pertaining to environmental hazards are often more sustainable if they address the driving forces behind the pollution at the community level rather than attempt to deal with specific exposures at the individual level.An individual can help in controlling air pollution by using alternate means of transportation. Minimizing the need to travel helps to reduce the number of vehicles on road resulting in minimizing air pollutants and decreasing travel time. The municipality has to encouraging e-governancethat can help avoid physical travelling. Also, a number of crossing points inside the city increase the congestion and air pollutants. There is a need to identify the possibilities to develop flyover bridges and alternate routes within the city area in order to improve the mobility. Use of lower emission vehicles, such as vehicles meeting specified Bharat emission standards should be promoted. Alternative fuels such as CNG, LPG, biogas should be considered to rum public transport vehicles as a start. Proper permissions should be given to construction activities and measures should be taken to avoid excessive dust in the surround area. Thus, on study and analysis of the various causes and trajectories of events the following proposals have been considered to address the environmental concerns of the area.

6.3.1 Proposal for Cleaning and Washing of Major Road Stretches Non-exhaust emissions from road vehicles are a significant source of particulate matter (PM) in the atmosphere. These emissions come from several sources including the wear of vehicle parts, such as tyres and brakes, and the road surface, and the resuspension of dust deposited on the road surface. Non-exhaust PM is deposited on the road surface and can become suspended (or resuspended) in the air through the action of vehicle tyres, vehicle induced turbulence and wind blow. This road dust contributes towards the exceedance of air pollutant limit values for PM10. Dust builds up on paved road surfaces from a wide range of sources including track-out from unpaved areas such as construction and industrial sites and parking lots, spills from lorries, and transport of dirt collected on vehicle undercarriages and atmospheric deposition. In recent years there have been a number of trials to determine the most effective means of controlling these emissions. This lead to the focus on the potential role to reduce ambient PM10 concentrations by street cleaning, i.e. the sweeping and washing of street surfaces. Flushing is the term often used to describe the spraying of high pressure water onto a road surface to wash dust into the drains.

6.3.2 Improvement in Public Transportation - Existing Proposal of e-Buses Kolkata received the approval for the procurement of 40 electric buses. The tender was released by West Bengal Transport Corporation Limited (WBTCL) for the procurement of 20 AC midi e-buses and 20 AC standard e-buses, with 7 years of warranty. The seating capacity of 26 and 31 passengers was fixed for midi and standard bus respectively. The authority asked for the Supply, installation and commissioning of 30 slow charging and 10 fast charging facilities stations for midi and standard buses. Minimum range of the vehicle with battery should not be less than 150km per charge. The price includes the FAME Subsidy component. Centre will provide for 60 per cent of the cost of the buses while the state government will put in the rest.

City Development Plan of Bidhannagar, ARP, IIT Kharagpur

Environment This was undertaken as an attempt to check pollution as the prime reason for air pollution is emission from vehicles. The department is looking into the implementation of Bharat Stage IV emission norms and following that the proposal for battery operated buses to replace diesel buses was considered. These electric buses would run on rechargeable batteries. The cost of these buses is comparatively higher than the normal ones but the running and maintenance cost is considerably low and also contributes to reduction in noise levels.

6.4 SOLAR POTENTIAL OF SALTLAKE Considering the Solar Potential for Salt Lake of Bidhannagar Municipal Corporation various schemes and methods has been formulated. Average solar irradiation in West Bengal is 1156.39 W/sq.m. 1kW solar rooftop plant will generate on an average over the year 4.6 kWh of electricity/day (considering 5.5 hours of sunshine)

6.4.1 MNRE Subsidy The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) provides Central Financial Assistance through capital and/or interest subsidy (depending on the nature of the applicant). The summary of the subsidy scheme is provided in the table below.  The benchmark cost for setting up a solar PV plant is Rs. 170/W (With battery providing 6 hours of autonomy) and Rs. 100 per W (without battery) i.e. if the actual project cost exceeds this amount then project cost will be deemed to be the benchmark cost for calculating the subsidy.  Benchmark costs are for systems with 5- year warranty for all components (inverters, batteries, switchgear, etc.) other than PV modules which are warranted for 90% of output at end of year 10 and 80% at end of year 25. PV modules have to be made in India to avail subsidy.

6.4.2 Component Costs A rooftop solar PV system costs approximately Rs. 1,00,000 per kW including installation charges but without batteries and without considering incentives (which are discussed further down). The cost breakup for a 1kW system is given in Error! Reference source not found.: Table 56: Component Costs of Rooftop Solar Installations COMPONENT

Note:  The above prices are for components from Tier 1 manufacturers with 5-year manufacturer’s warranty. In addition, the PV modules have output warranty of 90% of rated capacity for the first 10 years and 80% of rated capacity for the next 15 years.  Battery backup is not considered here, as that can alter the economics significantly depending on the extent of battery backup (autonomy) required. Not only do batteries add to the initial cost, recurring maintenance, and replacement expenditure, the energy loss on charging and drawing from the battery also adds to the cost of power. A battery backup would add about Rs. 25,000 to the cost of the above system.

City Development Plan of Bidhannagar, ARP, IIT Kharagpur

38|P a g e


Environment  Thin-Film modules are not considered here, as they require more installation area for the same capacity as crystalline modules and are therefore not preferred for rooftop installations where space is usually a constraint.

6.4.3 Accelerated Depreciation Accelerated depreciation of 80% is available under the Income Tax act for rooftop solar PV systems. This can provide significant savings to a solar plant developer who is a taxable assets and has sufficient profits against which the depreciation can be charged, which is illustrated in Error!

6.4.4 Variations in Pricing Prices of solar PV systems offered by various vendors can differ significantly. There can be several reasons for the variations in price, such as:  Overstatement of capacity – Some vendors advertise a rooftop system with 1 KW modules (solar panels) and a 5 kW inverter as a 5 KW system. As the electricity is generated by the modules this system only has a 1 kW capacity and the price offered.  Brands – Products from Tier I manufacturers are typically more expensive but offer much better performance and reliability Certifications/Standards – Products that are certified and meet quality standards are more expensive.  Warranties – The price of the system can depend on the warranties offered.  PV Panels – Industry standard warranty is 5-year manufacturer warranty 0-10 years for 90% of the rated output power 10-25 years for 80% of the rated output power. Other systems – Inverters, mounting structures, cables, junction boxes, etc. typically come with a 1year manufacturer warranty which can be extended to 5 years.

Further, as per the availability of rooftop area of the buildings, as specified above, has been calculated for government ( ) and institutional buildings separately (Error! Reference source not found.). In the Government sector the total available rooftop area is 595 sq.m, which is capable of generating 11.9kWh of power and 16422kW electricity annually, at the cost of Rs. 773500. The monthly instalment to repay the loan would be Rs.9570 per month for a period of 10 years or Rs. 6202 per month if the repayment would be over the entire lifetime of installation. In the Institutional sector the total available rooftop area is 943 sq.m, which is capable of generating 18.9kWh of power and 26082kW electricity annually, at the cost of Rs. 352800. The monthly instalment to repay the loan would be Rs.10639 per month for a period of 10 years or Rs. 6896 per month if the repayment would be over the entire lifetime of installation. The cost of the installation formulates to be approximately 11,26,000 lakhs/kW and the total cost of 9.3kWh is approximately Rs. 3,46,90,040(3.5crore), which could be phased over five years, with the joint effort of MNRE (25.2%), Municipal Corporation (15.11%), and Private sector (59.69%).

6.6 Sanitary Landfill site 6.6.1 Introduction Dhapa has been used for over 200 years for the dumping of solid waste. According to the report of Kolkata Environment Improvement Trust in 2010 KMC area produces 4000 metric tons of garbage every day. 3000 tons per day is getting disposed in Dhapa landfill site. It is soon going to be saturated so alternative site is a necessity. This will benefit other municipalities like RajpurSonarpur, Dumdum Municipality, Madhyamgram Municipality and Government agencies like Railway and PWD etc. Table 65: Shows the present status of MSW management by KMC Primary Collection Secondary

6.8 Ecotourism in Wetlands 6.8.1 Introduction Sustainable tourism and recreation can both benefit wetlands and contribute to the conservation of global biodiversity and sustainable development goals and targets, including the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), climate change adaptation and mitigation. (Ramsar Convention 2012, Bucharest)

City Development Plan of Bidhannagar, ARP, IIT Kharagpur

Environment According to the International Ecotourism Society, Ecotourism can be defined as, "responsible travel to natural areas that conserves the environment and sustains the well-being of local people." It is important because people learn to travel responsibly, gets connected with nature and also try to respect it. The objective of proposing ecotourism in East Kolkata Wetlands is to create awareness through interactive activities and also generate economy by providing supportive jobs for the local people. There are certain guidelines that should be followed while considering the design of ecotourism spots in a natural setting. •

Preserve the natural setting and indigenous landscape

Use locally sourced and sustainably harvested or recycled building material

Use renewable energy and environmentally sensitive water and waste disposal systems

Support local businesses – Purchase food from local farmers, ranchers and fishermen, use local craftsmen.

Support the local community – Employ and train local workers

Build environmental and cultural awareness – Offer excursions to natural and cultural sites

Respect and interact with the local culture – Introduce guests to authentic local cultural activities and festivals

According to “Guidelines for Ecotourism in and around Protected Areas” by Ministry of Environment and Forest each Protected Area should publish an Ecotourism Plan before 31st Dec 2011. They should maintain the following principles. •

Identify (using GIS) and monitor the ecologically sensitive areas surrounding PAs, in order to ensure

the

ecological

integrity

of

corridor/buffer

areas,

and

prevent

corridor

pinching/destruction. •

Assess carrying capacity of the Protected Area, at three levels: physical, real and effective/permissible carrying capacity of visitors and vehicles.

Set a ceiling level on number of visitors allowed to enter a Protected Area at any given time, based on the carrying capacity of the habitat.

Indicate the area open to tourism in the reserves to be designated as ‘ecotourism zone’

6.8.2 Estimation of Physical Carrying Capacity This is the “maximum number of visitors that can physically fit into a defined space, over a particular time”. It is expressed as follows PCC = (A) X (V/a) X (RF) Where, A = available area for public use

City Development Plan of Bidhannagar, ARP, IIT Kharagpur

51|P a g e


Environment V/a = one visitor / M2 RF = rotation factor (number of visits per day) (Source: -Guidelines for Ecotourism in and around Protected Areas) However, there are certain assumptions done for this calculations. 1. Where available space for public use can’t be determined linear road length is taken 2. Vehicles/ km is considered if trip taken by vehicles only 3. Rotation factor is calculated based on avg. time taken to complete the trip and Operating Hour of that zone. Total road length along the trails of wetlands that comes under BMC is 13km. Considering the trip will be taken by cars only we provide gap of 500m between two vehicles. Average time to complete the visit is 2.5 hours, and operating time of 9 hours. Physical Carrying Capacity: - 13 X 2 Vehicle/km X 3.6= 94 visits per day. (almost 300 persons per day)

6.8.3 Tourism Potential Wetlands particularly provide different set of choices when it comes to tourism experiences. These are swimming, boating, diving, snorkeling, sport fishing, duck hunting, photography, birdwatching. Among these list of activities EKW are capable of providing Boating, Fishing, Photography, Bird Watching.

6.9 DREDGING 6.9.1 Introduction Dredging is the activity of excavating or removing silt, sand and other layers from the water bed. This sand/silt is used elsewhere for coastal protection or land reclamation. Dredging involves two main activities. Firstly, it involves removal of soil/rock from the bed of sea by disturbing and loosening the same. Simultaneously, the disturbed sand is lifted to the water surface with the help of vacuum generated through dredgers. Secondly, the dredged material that was lifted has to be relocated or disposed away from the actual site. These channels require periodic maintenance dredging to maintain required drafts, thus creating a continuous source of dredging.

6.9.4 Use of Biosolids (Silts from canal) Capping:-It is the placement of clean or relatively clean dredged materials on top of other land areas or in aquatic environments. The lake-dredged materials serve as a “caps” on top of other land materials. Land creation/improvement – Land creation or improvement includes the building of dikes or berm for shore protection, filling, raising and protecting submerged and low-lying areas; and applying material to areas where the quality of existing land is poor, such as mine land or brown fields’ reclamation Topsoil creation/enhancement – this usually involves allowing dredged materials to dry out and applying it alone or mixing it with other materials to make topsoil. Beach/littoral nourishment – Beach/littoral nourishment is the placement of dredged materials along the shore or in the near shore area to provide a source of nourishment for natural sand (littoral) movement or recreational beach improvement and creation

City Development Plan of Bidhannagar, ARP, IIT Kharagpur

Environment Habitat restoration – Habitat restoration using dredged material can occur in aquatic, wetland, or upland environments. Strategic placement of dredged materials can also be used to restore and establish wetlands and to create aquaculture ponds for fisheries. Fertiliser/ Nutrient - Biosolids usually are applied at rates designed to supply crops with adequate nitrogen. They contain a substantial amount of nitrogen (typically 3 to 6% by weight). The nitrogen is not immediately available to crops, but is released slowly by biological activity. (Source: - Source- Recycling biosolids and lake-dredged materials to pasture-based animal agriculture: alternative nutrient sources for forage productivity and sustainability. Gilbert C. Sigua)

6.11 Provision of Toilets 6.11.1 Description Swacch Bharat Abhijan campaign was launched on 2nd October,2014 aiming to eradicate open defecation by 2nd October 2019. Over 3crores of toilets have been constructed across rural India. Although lakhs of villages have been declared ODF yet amidst a metro city lies the stretch within the wetland which still is living in the past. In the East Kolkata Wetlands people still rely temporary shacks or rely on the wetlands and open grounds for open defecation. The key problem does not lie in the awareness but primarily due to the lack of money to build toilets on their own. Hence our concern should be to provide a technology and cost efficient design to go at par with the sustainability of the achievement of the mission and also the most efficient for the region. The East Kolkata Wetlands come under RAMSAR Convention and hence the settlements existing cannot be formalized. Morever, they cannot be rehabilitated to some other part as they are dependent on the wetlands and indirectly the wetlands are proected by the century old colonies that have settled in the land area. Without formalizing it is difficult to provide sewer connections and yet there is a need to provide sanitary infrastructure in these colonies. Hence technologies used in rural households are more suited for these settlements. The major technologies available are: ● Twin-leach pits – It is a standard twin pit toilet which is 3 feet in diameter and depth each respectively. ● Single-leach pit – It includes toilets with just one pit, in some cases because the second pit of the twin pit has not been built, in other cases because the leach pit is very deep. It also includes septic tank-like structure with non-cemented leaching bottom. ● Septic tanks – It includes proper septic tanks (with chambers or separating walls and an outlet to some sort of leaching mechanisms), as well as other water-tight substructures that either have substandard designs (lacking chambers or internal walls) or don’t have the mandated outlet, becoming containment structures.

6.11.2 SUITABILITY Slightly larger space is required to construct this toilet but the cost is still low. The toilets have two pits is certainly an advantage as when the first pit gets filled up, the flow of excreta has to be diverted to the second pit. In this design, two leach pits are connected to one single pour-flush toilet. Twin-pit toilets have a high convenience – when emptying one pit, people use second pit. Leach pits of constructed toilets were predominantly circular, with an average diameter of 3.7 feet and 4.4 feet depth, and sometimes rectangular (5.8x4.1 square foot, and 4.5 feet deep). Moreover, since there is no land constraint this is a suitable design. Estimated cost of building one toilet is around Rs. 7257.

6.14 Funding & Technical Assistance for EKW As stated in the status report earlier East Kolkata Wetlands doesn’t come under one administrative and statutory jurisdiction, so we decide to generate funds from multiple stake holders. This will indulge more authority and organizational structure to protect the wetlands. Not only local government and Urban Local bodies or panchayat EKW being a Ramsar site can generate more funds for its inclusive and participatory development.

7.3.3 Municipal Bonds Municipal bonds are debt instruments issued by municipalities or other state agencies which use the money to build schools, water supply systems, sewer systems, and other projects for public good. When someone purchases a municipal bond, they are lending money to a state or local government entity, which in turn promises to pay a specified amount of interest and return the principal amount on a specific maturity date. Municipal bonds can be of two types, namely:

7.3.3.1 Revenue Bonds Revenue bonds are bonds supported by the revenue from a specific project, such as a water supply project or a sewer systems project. Such bonds finance income-generating projects and are secured by a specified revenue source. For example, if a revenue bond is issued to upgrade a water supply network, the water charges collected from users would be used to pay off the bond. (Nair, Viswanathan, & Gumber, 2015)

7.3.3.2 General Obligation Bonds General obligation bonds are issued in the belief that a municipality will be able to repay its debt obligation through taxation or revenue from projects. Unlike revenue bonds, general obligation bonds can be paid through a variety of tax sources. These, therefore, may not be for specific revenuegenerating projects.

7.3.3.3 How to raise money through municipal bonds? 1. Identify a project/function: Identify a project or a function for which the municipality needs to raise money. It can be the construction of water supply network, storm water drains, roads et cetera. 2. Choose the issue type:Choose the type of issue which fits the municipality’s requirement. You can raise money through General Obligation Bonds or Revenue Bonds. 3. Evaluate project cost:Do a cost analysis for the project. The municipality must contribute at least 20% to the total project cost. 4. Get credit rating:Get a credit rating for the municipality from a recognised credit rating agency. Minimum rating for raising money through municipal bonds must be A+. 5. Open an escrow account:Open an escrow account for the purpose of the project for which the money is to be raised. An escrow account is used for making debt payments to investors. 6. Disclose information:Disclose Budgets and abridged Annual Accounts for the last five years, and other information as specified in the SEBI regulations. 7. Raise money: Raise money either through private placement or public issue.

7.3.4 Municipal Revenue The Bidhannagar Municipal Corporation (BMC) must aim to increase the Revenue to Income ratio from an average of 29% to 40%. This can be done by measures like introducing water charges and partial privatization through a public private partnership model, of water utility where the finances

Development Management & Finance and revenues must be guided by the BMC; introduction of sewage and sanitation charges, outsourcing of works of BMC wherever possible to save costs of salaries and institutional expenditure, revenue from amenities like community halls, fair grounds, exhibition centers, etc. The improved revenue will also help in improving the Credit Rating of BMC, from current rating at A- to A+ within the first phase so that there can be projects funded by raising Municipal Bonds. Table 89shows the funds generated by BMC from Revenue under Business as Usual Model with a growth rate of 9.815%.

7.3.5 Corporate Social Responsibility India is the first country in the world to make Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) mandatory, following an amendment to The Company Act, 2013 in April 2014. Businesses can invest their profits in areas such as education, poverty, gender equality, and hunger. Companies with a net worth of US$73 million (Rs 4.96 billion) or more, or an annual turnover of US$146 million (Rs 9.92 billion) or more, or a net profit of US$732,654 (Rs 50 million) or more during a financial year, shall earmark 2 percent of average net profits of three years towards CSR.

7.4 Water Pricing 7.4.1 Introduction In the BMC area currently, the water supplied to households is not charged in any form, for any kind of supply, be it household connection, community taps, or tubewells. It has been found that a few wards do not have access to clean potable water; which is evident from the presence of vendors selling potable clean water in such areas, at a profitable amount. Water is a public and therefore should be physically, and economically accessible to every citizen. Prior to introducing a water charge in the area under BMC, it is important to augment and improve the water supply infrastructure in the areas with existing network, which shall be aimed to completed in the first phase; and laying of new infrastructure in the areas deficient of the water supply network in the last year of the first phase. The revenue generation from the complete area of BMC will be seen from the second phase onwards. The water utility must also aim to reduce the Non-Revenue Water (NRW) to increase revenue base which for Kolkata was estimated at around 30% (Singh, Upadhyay, & Mittal, 2005).

7.4.2 Objective The objectives of Water Pricing in an Urban area are as follows (Mathur & Thakur, 2003): Revenue Sufficiency: On the minimum, the cost of Operation and Maintenance charges and the Investment must be aimed to be recovered from the revenue generated by the water utility by charging water to its consumer. This may be expanded to gather a risk fund as a measure against any unforeseen events(s). Economic Efficiency: The aim of pricing water should be such that the water usage behaviour of citizens is kept in check, in that they know of the economic and social consequences that their usage may lead onto them. This can be incentive driven, to ensure that the users get maximum aggregate benefits. Equity: Equity in water pricing must be ensured with the idea that the customers of similar nature are treated equally, while those of different nature are treated differently. Poverty Alleviation: The utility must maintain an objective to provide water to the poorer sections of the society, which shall not be completely free to realize the value of water and reduce benefits to the utility. This may be achieved by an efficient allocation of cost and resources by the means of crosssubsidizing water supply and internalizing the revenue returns.

7.4.3 Mechanism The water tariff can be designed using any of the following two methods:

City Development Plan of Bidhannagar, ARP, IIT Kharagpur

9|P a g e


Development Management & Finance 7.4.3.1 Incremental Block Tariff Incremental Block Tariff (IBT) is based on the idea of marginal costing. The prices increment in a stepped manner, as the consumption increases. The key advantage of IBT is that it provides equity in pricing. It is based on the volumetric charging of water. The prices are divided into blocks, with the initial block providing a minimum amount of water for consumption that is considered adequate for an individual for a daily use. The cross-subsidizing is done by charging higher for increased consumption, thereby also discouraging water usage.

7.4.3.2 Uniform Price with Rebate Uniform Price with Rebate (UPR) is an alternative to the IBT, which has higher revenue returns and comparatively similar costs for poor households as IBT with fixed increment (Bolland & Whittington, 2000). However, an IBT with a variable cost through cross-subsidising is a better system for water tariff.

7.4.4 Tariff Design The Tariff design for the IBT shall be on the basis of four factors: i.

The number of blocks,

ii.

The size of blocks, and

iii.

Price per unit block.

To generate an amount in order to equalize the capital expenditure on Water Supply network augmentation and development, the rate of water supply excluding conveyance, operation and maintenance charges comes to about Rs. 7 per litre. Overall water rates amount to about Rs. 15 per litre. The cost of water at this rate will result in economically inaccessible water supply for the lower income and economically weaker groups of the society. Therefore, a system of cross-subsidy may be developed to make water economically feasible and equitable water supply. This cross subsidy here is within domestic customers and through the revenue from non-domestic customers also. Since the nature and quantum of consumption is different for different kind of customers, the customers have been divided into three categories. The three categories of customers are as follows: i.

Category 1- Domestic Customers: This category includes the following consumers:

a. Premises used for residence. b. Hostels of Educational Institutions of the Government, working women’s hostels run by the Government.

City Development Plan of Bidhannagar, ARP, IIT Kharagpur

10|P a g e


Development Management & Finance c. Government recognized destitute homes, orphanage, charitable homes, blind schools, and schools for physically handicapped persons, spastic children. d. Piaus meant for drinking purposes (Public drinking water stand posts or fountains) e. Place of worship, cremation grounds, cemetery. ii.

Category 2- Government Institutions Category: Government offices/Institutions, Government schools, Government aided schools, fall under this category. Such customers shall be eligible for 15% rebate on their total monthly bills provided they adopt a water harvesting and waste water recycling technique.

iii.

Category 3- Industrial/Commercial Category: Consumers that do not fall under either Category 1 or Category 2 shall be deemed as Category 3 consumers. Such customers shall be eligible for 5% rebate on their total monthly bills provided they adopt a water harvesting and waste water recycling technique. Table 90: Tariff for Category 1 consumers
