Delhi - Mumbai Industrial Corridor (DMIC)

[Chanakya's_Chant]

Thank you,bro

Since work has already started - when do you think will it be completed - the DFC will be completed by 2019 positively - work on DFC will be completed in phases between 2017 and 2019.

Railways is constructing Eastern Corridor from Ludhiana to Dankuni (1840 kms) and the Western Corridor from Dadri to Jawaharlal Nehru Port (1502 kms).

Railways Rs 81,459 cr worth 'Dedicated Freight Corridor' project to be completed by 2019 - The Times of India

Indian Railways is likely to officially start the 56-km Durgauti-to-Sasaram stretch by March next year while the rest of the track is likely to commence in phases in FY18, according to a financial daily.

Railways to commence first section of eastern freight corridor by March

DFC's alone would be significant boost to our economy!

Mission DMIC: Phase-I at Shendra to be ready for occupancy in 2016
Ranjana Diggikar,TNN | Aug 22, 2015, 12.43 AM IST

AURANGABAD: Along with the Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor (DMIC) infrastructure development in Phase-I at Shendra which will be ready for occupancy in 2016, the state government would also focus on upgrade of the Aurangabad International Airport and widening of the Aurangabad-Bidkin road, said state principal secretary (industries) Apurva Chandra.

He was speaking at a DMIC review meeting held on Friday at the divisional commissionerate. He also said that in two years' time new industries would make investments in the DMIC.

He said, "Major industries especially from the defence sector have made enquiry for land in the DMIC project. The state government is mulling to set up a defence park in Aurangabad with necessary facilities and infrastructure to house these manufacturing units. Setting aside about 100 acres of land for a defence park is also being planned in the DMIC project."

Chandra said, "Manufacturing units in defence basically prefer land near the airport and considering that Shendra is just 5 km from the airport, major investment in defence projects can be attracted."

He also said that the pathetic condition of Aurangabad-Paithan road could prove a deterrent in the development of Shendra-Bidkin Smart City. " With the state facing a financial crunch, we would send a proposal to the Centre to sanction about Rs 600 crore for Aurangabad-Bidkin road widening including development of some other link roads," said Chandra.

"For further improvement of connectivity the increase of airstrip length is also being considered. At present, Boeing with passenger capacity of only 130 seats can land here," he said.

He also said that considering environmental conditions and water availability, industries dealing with chemicals or those that use water as raw material will not be preferred in the DMIC project. " Industries from the automobile, defence, electronics, textile sectors would be given preference," Chandra said.

"With a view to expedite Phase-1 of the Shendra-Bidkin Industrial Area, infrastructure development work has kicked off with an investment of Rs 1,533 crore. And the Centre has already sanctioned Rs 700 crore," he said.

"In Phase-I, Shandra region will be developed first. As much as, 571 hectares will be available for occupancy in 2016. This phase would provide about 45 km of internal road network with segregated footpaths and bike paths. High-quality potable water, recycled water and fire fighting services will be provided at the doorstep," he explained.

" The infrastructure work components include road and utility services, rail overbridges (RoB), information communication technology (ICT), sewage treatment plant (STP), common effluent treatment plant (CETP) and solid waste management (SWM), district administrative building (DAB) and landscaping of the Shendra-Bidkin Industrial Area," Chandra said.

"Tenders for ICT and RoB work worth Rs 115.77 crore have already been floated last week. And tenders worth Rs 1,180 crore construction of roads, culverts, storm drains, power cable ducts and drainage lines would be floated on August 21," he said.

"The tenders for DAB worth Rs 132.78 crore, STP and SWM of Rs 60.78 crore and landscaping worth Rs 43.52 crore would be floated next month. The ground work would begin by November 2015," he said.

"The initial project also covers multi-modal logistics park at Karmad, exhibition cum convention centre at Aurangabad and water supply scheme for Shendra. These projects are expected to create about 3 lakh jobs," said a government official.

Work has progressed 10-fold in western, 3-fold in eastern corridor: Adesh Sharma

The commissioning of the Dedicated Freight Corridor is going to start in phases beginning March 2018. Adesh Sharma, the MD of the Dedicated Freight Corridor Corporation of India, in an interview with Bilal Abdi, explains how this mega infrastructure project will decongest the railway network for freight transport. It will also usher in a technological revolution of sorts in laying of new tracks and making available higher capacity locos and double stack containers. Excerpts:

What is the cost of both the corridors (east and west) and how are funds being managed?

Of the R81,459 crore total cost for both the corridors, R73,392 is the cost of construction and the remaining is the cost of land. The land cost is being borne by the Indian Railways and the land acquired will be in the name of railways.

How much land has been acquired?

The total land requirement for both the corridors is 11,550 hectares, and so far we have acquired 83% of it. Of the R73,392 crore, we have got JICA funding of R38,722 crore on the western corridor in the form of a soft loan, the interest is 0.1% and with hedging the cost to us comes to 7%. The eastern corridor is being funded by the World Bank; R13,625 crore has been provided in three phases.

And how much is the actual disbursal of money?

The total expenditure so far is R5,062 crore, including land. The work has begun on Khurja-Kanpur (eastern corridor) and Rewari-Palanpur (western corridor). It is also progressing on the Kanpur-Mughalsarai (east) and Vadodara-Vaitarna (west) sections.

What about the equity component?

The debt-equity ratio is 3:1. Earlier we kept a 2:1 ratio but we decided we need to take more loans. The equity support is given by the railways.

The land for DFC also includes railways’ existing land…

The DFC is being built parallel to the existing railway lines, but in congested areas and cities we have diverted the rail line because it is very difficult to acquire land in such places. Of the total land (11,550 hectares), 9,569 hectares or 83% has already been acquired. The original proposal was to go up to Son Nagar only, i.e. Ludhiana-Son Nagar (east side) and Dadri-JNPT (west side). Now Son Nagar to Dankuni extension will be done on PPP basis, the length of which is 525 km. The 1,500-km Dadri-JNPT is part of the western corridor and not an extension.

The commissioning time for both eastern and western corridors is December 2019. But we will start commissioning in phases, the first will be in March 2018, which will be Khurja-Kanpur and Rewari-Palanpur sections.

What will be the coverage in terms of area by these corridors?

If we see the traffic pattern, we have got six corridors which join four major cities, called the golden quadrilateral, and they are diagonals. This is 16% of the length of the Indian Railways and it carries 58% of the total freight traffic. All six routes are heavily congested. Since the land capacity utilisation is 130%, there is no possibility of adding new trains on these lines. We will take up all these six corridors, but for now we have taken only two corridors. Out of the four corridors, two will be sanctioned in some time—east-west connecting Kolkata to Mumbai; east coast connecting Kolkata to Vijayawada. South-west (Chennai-Goa) and south-north (Chennai-Delhi) are in the pipeline. The total cost of the four corridors will be $65 billion, and the total length will be 6,200 km.

Are you satisfied with the progress?

In the last one year, progress has been boosted 10-fold in western and three-fold in eastern corridor. We have awarded 66% of contracts on the eastern and 64% on the western corridor. Our contractors are global agencies and they are selected and monitored by JICA and World Bank. Most joint ventures on the western corridors are between Japan as a lead partner and any other player. Anybody can participate in the eastern corridor. The progress of execution will see a quantum jump after April 2016, as 90% of procurement would be completed.

Are you looking for a change in the funding pattern?

We will resort to multilateral funding. World Bank and JICA have shown interest. If all the corridors are completed, railways’ share in goods transport will rise to 50% from the current 36%.

Will the new land acquisition Act affect costs?

Since for the current corridors we have already acquired 83% of the land, for the rest 17% it will not affect the cost so much. We have started paying compensation according to the new land Act since January 2015. The Railway Board is examining how to comply with the employment (for local people) provisions is the new Act. There are more than 3 lakh affected persons and, obviously, we cannot give employment to everyone, but we are working on it. We could give a choice to the people between employment, lump-sum payment or annuity, in addition to the compensation being given. We have taken into account all these factors when arriving at the estimate of $65 billion. We depend on the evaluation done by the state government for the market price of land. There are about 1,500 court cases and about 7,000 arbitration cases, of which 3,536 arbitration cases have been resolved and 850 court cases are pending. Land acquisition will not be a constraint.

What is the value of tenders awarded till now?

We have awarded tenders worth R11,587 crore on the eastern corridor and R19,225 crore on the western corridor, making it a total of R30,812 crore.

Work has progressed 10-fold in western, 3-fold in eastern corridor: Adesh Sharma | The Financial Express

DMIC phase I project launched in Maharashtra

Entails investment of Rs 17,319 cr, to generate 330,000 jobs

Sanjay Jog | Mumbai March 3, 2014

After nearly three years of delay, the Government of India and the Maharashtra government on Monday signed the state support agreement (SSA) and shareholders agreement (SA) for the first phase of much ambitious Delhi Mumbai Industrial Corridor (DMIC). The phase I entails at investment of Rs 17,391 crore to cover 84 sq km of area in Aurangabad district of the underdeveloped Marathwada region. Initially, 32 sq km will be developed with Maharashtra government's 51% equity and balance 49% to be held by the Government of India. These agreements were today signed in the presence of chief minister Prithviraj Chavan and union minister for commerce and industries Anand Sharma.

Maharashtra government's equity will be towards equity while the Government of India will contribute funds for the development of trunk infrastructure. In addition, the Government of India will also pump in Rs 3,000 crore per each industrial township project.

The phase I project covers Shendre Bidkin Industrial City, multi modal logistics park at Karnad, exhibition cum convention centre at Aurangabad and water supply scheme for Shendra. These projects are expected to create 3,30,000 jobs.

The state run Maharashtra Industrial Development Corporation has already acquired 3,200 hectare through consent route and the compensation of Rs 23 lakh per acre is being paid. The compensation is almost 50% more than what has been recommended in the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act. This apart, the project affected persons will also be provided 15% developed land.

According to Chavan, a total of 55,000 hecrare covering eight districts will be required for the completion of phase I and II DMIC projects in Maharashtra. He informed that the Japanese government and its banks and financial institutions have already assured loan for these projects. The phase II, which is expected to enhance the state's manufacturing capability, will include Dighi Port Industrial Area, Dhule mega industrial park, Nashik-Sinnar-Igatpuri investment region, muti modal logistics parks and greenfield mega city in Ahmednagar.

DMIC chief executive officer Amitabh Kant said that all the necessary approvals were in its possession. He informed that two gas based power projects are proposed in Indapur and Dighi.

Kant said DMIC project in Maharashtra will cover 29% area of the state and 18% project influence area. The proposed projects in phase I and II are expected to generate an additional 3.8 million manufacturing jobs in the state and the additional industrial output worth Rs 20 lakh crore by 2042.

“By 2017 or 2018 Dholera should be in business, construction to start in next less than 5 months”

This was stated by top official associated with Dholera smart city project in Gujarat during the session on Smart cities at 7th Vibrant Gujarat summit in Gandhinagar:

“Just last month we have floated our first tender for the roads and services for Dholera.So we expect that in less than five months we will start construction and construction will take place three to five years, so by 2017 or 18 Dholera should be in business.”

Dholera smart city is much talked about project, but nothing materialized on ground in all these years. The official in his speech stated: “In our case, the act was enacted in 2009. It takes couple of years for master planning which involves not just technical master planning but also public hearing process. Then comes environment clearances. And then you start design which takes 6 to 10 months. We have now environment clearances and tenders are floated last month.”

The official further said that the total area of proposed project is 422 sqm.

“Even first phase would involve 123 sq k area, and we would require 7-8 billion US$ just for basic infrastructure to develop the area in this size.”

“Therefore we decided on a strategy of ‘activation area’ which is 22.5 sq km in size.”

Tenders are floated for basic infrastructure in this size of area.


Delhi Mumbai Industrial Corridor Development Corporation takes off with Ujjain, Dholera next

India’s most ambitious infrastructure project since Atal Bihari Vajpayee’s 5,846-km Golden Quadrilateral project, the Rs 325,000-crore Delhi Mumbai Industrial Corridor Development Corporation (DMICDC) took off last Wednesday with the corporation putting out bids for building trunk infrastructure in Vikram Udyogpuri near Ujjain in Madhya Pradesh. The project, over 1,100 acres, is part of the larger 372 sq km Pithampur-Dhar-Mhow Investment Region in the state (see graphic).

The entire DMICDC project, over two phases, is to be spread over 24 cities and cover 5,500 sq km. The Japanese government has promised an initial $4.5 billion for the first phase of the project.

By March, bids will be awarded for building trunk infrastructure in three other areas which include the 920 sq km, R70,000-crore Dholera project in Gujarat — the initial bidding in Dholera will be for building the trunk infrastructure over 22 sq km; a total of 154 sq km has already been acquired by the state government.

Nice to se that we have 2 huge reions from gujarat. Dholera SIR is all set to be the biggest city of the India.

Dholera in Gujarat to have largest greenfield smart city

Updated: February 9, 2016 21:32 IST | Virendra Pandit

With Larsen & Toubro being awarded the ₹1,734-crore EPC contract, work on the construction of ancient port city of Dholera in Gujarat, touted as India’s largest greenfield smart city, which comes under the Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor (DMIC), is all set to roll out.

A SPV has been created to manage the township on a sustainable basis. Cube Construction Engineering Ltd will construct the Administrative and Business Centre at Dholera, a company spokesman said.

EPC contract

The ambitious project is being jointly promoted by the DMIC and Dholera Special Investment Regional Development Authority (DSIRDA). The first board meeting of the Dholera Industrial City Development Ltd (DICDL), held on January 30, approved the EPC (Engineering Procurement Construction) contract for ₹1,734.04 crore for construction of roads and services by Larsen & Toubro.

A second contract for ₹72.31 crore for construction of the Administration and Business Centre of Dholera (ABCD) was approved for Cube Construction Engineering Ltd.

Alkesh Sharma, CEO, DMIC Trust, said the SPV has finalised the award of the two contracts and completed all other formalities. “Over the next few months, selected contractors will furnish the detailed design and construction should start around May 2016,” he said.

Infra development

The roads and services contract comprises construction of over 72 km of major and minor roads and an array of underground utilities, including stormwater drainage, water, wastewater, recycled water, power, gas and ICT (Information and Communications Technology).

Sharma said the ABCD would have over 17,000 sq mt built up area and features to comply with LEED Gold requirement. The facilities will include industrial zone, knowledge and IT zone, solar park, residential zone, high access corridor, city centre, agriculture zone, village buffer and tourism-resorts.

AECOM, a US-based consulting firm, is the programme manager to implement the project. By 2019, the city will be functional with manufacturing units and a population of around one lakh people.

Construction has started.

@gslv mk3 is GIFT city being constructed in Gandhinagar, Gujarat part of Dedicate Freight corridor ?

http://www.businesstoday.in/magazin...o-transform-indian-railways/story/235878.html

Good article

Work on the two corridors, which began under the UPA government in 2008, had been slow. Things began to change when Prabhu became minister in November 2014 after the new NDA government took charge. Today, 95 per cent of the land is acquired, and projects worth Rs 48,000 crore allocated. The first stretch of the Eastern DFC connecting Khurja (near Aligarh) to Bhopur (near Kanpur) is expected to be commissioned in December 2017. And both the DFCs are likely be commissioned in full by end-2019.
