1. Introduction

Sanand is one of the fine examples demonstrating the positive and wide spread impact of urbanization of a megacity like Ahmedabad. Sanand is located at about 24 km from Ahmedabad city on the Ahmedabad-Viramgam Highway. The city is included under Ahmedabad Urban Development Authority (AUDA) jurisdictional area which is responsible for planning and development in the area.

Sanand has attained importance in recent times as it is in close proximity to the Delhi-Mumbai Freight Corridor and the adjoining Special Economic Zones (SEZ). Shifting of the eagerly awaited Tata’s Nano Plant from Singur, West Bengal to Sanand, Gujarat has suddenly highlighted the vital location of this town with reference to industrial development. The Tata Group’s industrial establishment is supposed to boost up the employment generation in this region.

1.1. Approach and CDP development process Prior Approach: A Growth Center in AUDA Area DP 1997

Sanand was looked at as one of the four Growth Centers (Kalol, Dehgam, Sanand and Mehmedabad) of AUDA. More emphasis was placed on industrial area development in the sanctioned plan so that potential employment opportunities are created and this in turn may attract rural population thereby reducing pressure of migration on Ahmedabad City. But till 2007-08, neither there were any major developments established, nor GIDC had put up any new industrial estates. The main cause attributed to this no or little development was the lack of promotion of industrial incentives in AUDA area as per strict enforcement of Government Policy. Thus the growth in population of these growth centers is also slow than as estimated by AUDA. As per the population projections of AUDA, the projected population of Sanand city in 2011 will be one lakh, whereas the current estimated population of the city is not more than fifty thousand.

New Approach: Planning of a Satellite Town

Sanand has been declared as a Satellite Town of Ahmedabad, in December 2009 by the Ministry of Urban Development, Government of India (GOI).

What is a Satellite Town?

The concept of satellite town has been emerged to help the metropolitan city in solving the human settlement and absorbs its industrial growth which put enormous pressure on

Page 10: CDP Sanand

CITY DEVELOPMENT PLAN SANAND 2010‐2015  

Centre for Environment Planning and Technology  Page 2  

infrastructure and service delivery of metropolitan city. The Satellite city is a smaller municipality in the vicinity of metropolitan parent city and can be planned within the natural growth pattern of parent city. It is intended to stop urban sprawl, provide an alternate business center and also provide high speed transport linkages between the it and Parent City.

It has been observed that migration in the metropolitan city is owing to employment opportunities, trade opportunities and specialized services such as education, health, entertainment and recreation. The people residing in satellite town can use specialized services of metropolitan city situated in its vicinity through strong transport linkages. The satellite town/city is defined as follows:

“A Satellite Town is a self-contained and limited in size, built in the vicinity of a large metropolitan city to house and employ those who would otherwise create a demand for expansion of the existing settlement in metropolitan city, but dependent on the parent-city to a certain extent for major and specialized services”

The Satellite city differ from mere suburbs and subdivisions in that it has municipal governments distinct from that of the parent metropolitan city and employment bases sufficient to support its residential populations. The Satellite city also experience cross- commuting with parent metropolitan city.

It has been observed that development of Satellite Town/City requires following offering.

• The Satellite town should offer adequate municipal services such as quality water supply, electricity, sewage treatment and residential townships etc.

• The Satellite Town should offer superior quality social infrastructure such as schools, primary and secondary medical treatment and retail departmental stores.

• Proximity of Metropolitan City and communication network.

• Speedy and Low cost of commuting from Satellite city/Town to Parent Metropolitan City as access to tele- effective services such as universities and airports that only the parent city can offer. This would increase the mobility of people residing in satellite town/city.

• It should have land resources, independent economy and also have strength to absorb the growth of Parent Metropolitan City.

Above factors led to development of Satellite Town/City which decongests the city centers of Parent Metropolitan city.

The three phases of development of Satellite town in Indian and Western countries context and evolution of model for development of satellite town/city are described in following exhibit.

Figure 1‐1 Evolution of Satellite Town 

 

Source: Author Analysis

As discussed in above exhibit, in the Indian context, often adjoining towns begin to acquire the character of the Satellite city. These towns face pressure of population and industrial growth. Thus required infrastructure needs to be identified, strengthened and developed. However Small town and ULBs are institutionally unable to cope with these demands owing to lack of revenue/ tax base, human resources and planning constrains and hence many a times Satellite Town is merged with Parent Metropolitan city.

Page 12: CDP Sanand

CITY DEVELOPMENT PLAN SANAND 2010‐2015  

Centre for Environment Planning and Technology  Page 4  

Sanand Town should be developed in line with the Model 1 described in above exhibit as independent town having its own municipality otherwise this will put less pressure on Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation for service and infrastructure deliveries. However this demands higher capability of Municipality for service deliveries and executing large social infrastructure projects. This can be attained by institutional strengthening of Sanand Municipality.

As per the Guidelines for “Scheme of Urban Infrastructure Development in Satellite Towns / Counter Magnets of Million plus Cities” published by the Ministry of Urban Development, Government of India, Sanand is one of the eight Satellite Townships around the seven mega-cities (Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai, Bangalore, Hyderabad and Ahmedabad).

The main objectives of this scheme are:

1 To develop urban infrastructure facilities such as transport, drinking water, sewerage, drainage and solid waste management, etc. at satellite towns/ counter magnets around million plus urban agglomerations (UAs) covered under Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission (JnNURM) and to channelize their future growth so as to reduce pressure on million plus UAs.

2 To enhance the sustainability of urban infrastructure facilities by implementing reforms such as energy audit, water audit, introduction of cost effective technologies, capacity enhancement for improved operation and maintenance, etc.

3 To adopt innovative public-private partnerships models for development of satellite towns. 4 Earmarking 10-15% of housing sites for the urban poor in accordance with the National

Urban Housing and Habitat Policy, 2007. 5 To promote the following Urban Local Bodies (ULB) level reforms:

a) Adoption of modern, accrual based, double entry system of accounting b) Introduction of system of e-governance using IT applications, Geographical Information

system (GIS) and Management Information System (MIS) for various urban services and establishment of citizen facilitation centers.

c) Reform of property tax with use of GIS and arrangement for effective implementation so as to raise the collection efficiency to 85 percent.

d) Levy of user charges, with the objective that full cost of operation and maintenance is collected within seven years

e) Internal earmarking of budgets for basic services to the urban poor

Page 13: CDP Sanand

CITY DEVELOPMENT PLAN SANAND 2010‐2015  

Centre for Environment Planning and Technology  Page 5  

f) Formulating bye-laws which shall incorporate provisions for disaster management, rainwater harvesting, reuse and recycle of waste water, barrier free environment and structural safety and shall also be in strict compliance with the National building Code.

g) Implementation of Public Disclosure Law h) Implementation of Community Participation Law

Also, it is noted that the towns may be planned for a population of 3-5 lakhs in case of million plus cities and 5-10 lakhs in case of mega-cities (4 million plus cities).

As per the above guidelines, planning of the satellite town shall be on the concept of continuity, compactness and self-containment. Each part of the township while being self-sufficient in itself should form an integral part of the town as a whole having clear functional linkages with the mother city and other urban centers in the respective region.

A City Development Plan is a comprehensive plan for the sustainable development of the city, with a strong focus on addressing prioritized problems, in line with a medium to long term vision for the future and supported by available financial resources.

A City Development Plan is a perspective of and a vision for the future development of a city. Essentially it addresses following questions:

Where are we now? Where do we want to go? What do we need to address on priority basis? What interventions do we make in order to attain the vision?

Define Vision / Mission statement

Direction of change and future Expectations,Prioritize Actions

Analysis of Existing situation (City Assessment Report) Analysis of Strengths, Weaknesses and Opportunities & Threats

Household Surveys Stakeholder Consultation (Household Survey and Ward wise consultation). Study of other sources that determine citizen's Response

City Investment Plan & Financing Strategy

 

 

The process of development of a city is dependent upon the industrial and business activities of the city, and the amount of activity it can secure from outside. Most of the cities suffer from inadequate civic amenities on one hand and inflexible sources of revenue on the other with the result that they find it difficult to absorb their growth without corresponding strain on the existing meager civic services. The civic services have thus tended to follow a declining curve in relation to the rate of growth of the urban economies.

1.2. City Development Plan for Sanand (2010-2015) The city development plan of Sanand takes a comprehensive review of the developments in the region especially the industrial developments such as Special Investment Regions. It is a learned fact that industrial developments gives a boost to the economic development of any region thus contribution towards increased migration. Hence, the existing situation analysis focuses on the regional connectivity and existing infrastructural services assessment and the future requirements. The CDP also focuses on balancing the environmental sustainability issues, green buildings and disaster mitigation aspects. The planning of the future services takes into account the local needs, norms and space standards flexible enough to meet the socio-economic, physical and environmental needs. Emphasis is given on rational and judicious use of scarce resources both in the form of land and fiscal resources. The City Development

8.2.6. History

Sanand is an old historical town but no details concerning its origin are known apart from those available from story and legend.

There are many stories on how the name of Sanand was derived. As per one such legend Sanand is derived from ‘Sanadi’ meaning ‘alienated’. The original Sanand village is believed to have been an alienated village under the Ahmedabad Sultan and it is from here the present day name is thought to be derived.

In more recent historical time Sanand was known to have been seat of the Vaghela rulers of the Koth house descended from the adopted son of King Karam Vaghela, the last of the Hindu ruler of Gujarat before the arrival of Allaudin Khilji as the master of region.

It is also believed that, during the Muslim rule in Gujarat, to entertain the King, Shah's gardens were built in Sanand and hence was called 'Shah Anand' which later on became ‘Sanand’.

The earliest written records available data back to 1872 during this period the town was apparently fairly well established and seems to have enjoyed some local importance in the region.

2.2.6. Migration

Migration is one of the determining factors for the growth of the city. It gives an insight on the type of growth and helps in determining the natural growth rate for the town and also accounting for the floating population. In case of Sanand no direct tables are available from the census and hence to analyze the migration information on births and deaths was collected from the Nagarpalika between 1991 and 2001 to estimate the natural growth of the town. The table

It can be observed from the above Exhibit that majority of working population employs in manufacturing and service sector. Only 3% of working population is engaged in cultivation on the land owned by him or held from Government and 17% of working population employs as agricultural laboures who worked on another person’s agriculture land for wages indicating that small proportion of working population employs in primary sector of economy. Each sector of economy is discussed in brief further.

1.1.2. Sectors of the Economy

PRIMARY SECTOR

The area of Sanand Taluka is 78453 hectare. The land use pattern of 75972 hectare of area of Sanand Taluka is mentioned in following Figure.

Figure 2‐5 Land use pattern of Sanand Taluka in 2003‐04

Net sown area is more than half of the land of Sanand Taluka. Double cropping land is around 22% of the net sown area and 14% of the total land area. The given portion of double cropping land suggests inadequate irrigation system compare to other districts of the state. Only 37315 hectare of net sown area is irrigated. Around 18250 hectare area is irrigated by Government Canal and remaining 19605 hectare area is irrigated by ponds and wells. This indicated need to increase coverage of Government Canal for irrigation in the Sanand Taluka. Further total 13215 hectares is unused land and 2100 hectares of land is barren land not suitable for agriculture. Such land can be used for residential, commercial and industrial purpose.

Owing to higher cultivation of rice, Sanand Taluka comprises many rice mills. Further spread of Government Canal can increase the irrigation and considerable production of Food and Non Food crops can be attained. This can help to locate agro processing units such as rice mills, flour mills and textiles units. Further Sanand Taluka stands fourth in Ahmadabad District for milk production in 2007-08. Thus dairy and dairy product producing industries can be located in Sanand Taluka.

Thus it can be observed from the above discussion that primary sector in Sanand Taluka mainly comprise farming of food crops such as rice, wheat and Bajra and Non Food crops such as cotton. However there is need to increase the irrigation as only 47% of Sanad Taluk’s land is irrigated as on 2003-04. Further Sanand Taluka has further potential for locating dairy product producing industries.

SECONDARY SECTOR

The secondary sector of Sanand Town comprises total 40 small to medium scale rice mills and other approximately 7small chemical manufacturing units. Total investment of all such manufacturing units stood at Rs 200 crore and employs approximately 800 people1. Further the

Household industries are in nascent stage and employed only 140 people.

There is only one GIDC estates within the Municipal limit. This GIDC was established in 1984 as mini GIDC. Owing To lack of promotions and marketing of the estate, very few units were established. GIDC can reside 20 units, out of which presently there are only two units established in the GIDC. One pharma units is fully operational however metal unit is partially operational. Pharma unit of GIDC employs 10 people. Further GIDC lacks hard infrastructure such as internal roads. Lack of adequate internal infrastructure and efforts on promotion and marketing and availability of skilled manpower are area of concerns for Sanand GIDC.

Sanand Town does not have mineral resources and hence absence of mining activities. Thus it can be observed that rice mills are major contributor of secondary sector of Sanand Town.

However Sanand Taluka reside many manufacturing industries as compared to Sanand Town. Total numbers of registered factories and investment in plant and machineries in Sanand Taluka are described in following Table.

                                                            1 Sanand Municipality, as on January 2010.

Following points can be inferred from above Table.

• It can be observed from the following table that Sanand Taluka resides 7% of numbers of registered factories of Ahmadabad district. Its share in investment of Plant and Machineries stands at 17% in Ahmedabad district. This indicates strong industrial base in Sanand Taluka. Out of this, 40 manufacturing units are located in Sanand Town.

• This strong industrial base in Sanand Taluka is owing to proximity of Metropolitan City Ahmedabad and strong connectivity with Kutch ports and south Saurashtra based ports. Further availability of land around the Sanand may have also contributed in establishing industrial base.

• Owing to unavailability of skilled labors and worsening law and order environment of Sanand Town, many manufacturing units decided not to establish industrial units in Sanand GIDC or Sanand Town. These bottlenecks can be resolved by establishing standard quality international schools and colleges and maintaining law and order situation. Further promotion of GIDC estate as ideal investment destination by establishing quality internal hard infrastructure can help to attract the industrial units.

TERTIARY SECTOR

Sanand Town resides total 1027 retail shops registered under shops establishment act and employed total 1438 people2. The retails shops are of cloth, stationary, fruit and vegetable, food and grocery and other necessary trade and services. Owing to upcoming manufacturing units of Tata Motors for Nano cars, almost all leading private sector and public Banks have established their branches. Further Sanand Town does not have any significant tourism resources or any quality restaurants and hotels. There is also absence of recreation facilities such as Cinema, park, Good quality restaurants etc. There is also presence of informal sector in Sanand Town. Sanand Municipality has allocated separate space to hawkers after issuing license. Total 300 licenses issued and employing approximately 600 people. Thus service sector is dominated by retail trading shops followed by informal sector.

Following steps can be taken to develop Service Sector in Sanand Town.

• Strong industrial base in Sanand Taluka can help to locate hotels and restaurants, retail malls and banking and financial services. This can be attained by persuading Industries to set up their town ships in vicinity or in the Sanand Town. The people employed in Industries situated in Sanand Taluka can be encourage to house at Sanand Town by providing good quality social infrastructure.

• Presently this is not a practice and industries such as Tata Motors and others are establishing Residential Townships independently in the vicinity of their units. This is owing to absence quality social infrastructure and worsening law and order situation.

• Further affordable real estate can help to development of service sectors such as hotels and restaurants, retail malls and banking and financial services. Hence need to make real estate affordable in Sanand Town and its vicinity area.

• Owing to presence of strong industrial base and upcoming DMIC in Sanand Taluka, logistic parks and related services has strong potential to be developed. This can be attained by developing logistic park and related services.

1.1.3. Emerging Projects around Sanand Town

Following points can be inferred from above Table and stake holder consultation.

• It can be depicted from above Table that Textile and Metal industries accounted for highest capital investment of 37% and 34% respectively which is followed by Pharma industry (21% of total investment).

• It can also be observed that Textiles and Pharma industries are employment intensive as compared to Chemical and Metal industries. Thus promoting the Pharma and Textile industrial base can generate higher employment in Sanand Taluka.

1.1.4. Real Estate Market of Sanand Town

Real estate market in the Sanand Town is dominated by increase supply of Housing units presently. The demand of Housing units generated mainly from specific income group who sold their land to industrial houses. Further perception of investor regarding strong future housing demand from employees of specific industrial houses also contributed in housing unit demand in Sanand Town. These two key facts provided impetus to growth of new residential townships. Presently five new residential schemes have been planned in Sanand Town and all are advanced stage of completion. All five residential township projects have been initiated by private developers. Three residential schemes have been planned on Sanand – Viramgam Highway and remaining Two Residential schemes on Sanand- Sarakhej Highway. The present supply of residential units is presented in following Table.

The prices of housing units have been rising upward after the announcement of Tata Motors Limited to establish Nano Plant at Charodi village 13 km away from Sanand Town. Upcoming DMIC, Industrial Investment and SIR may drive demand of housing units in Sanand Town. However Law and Order Situation and poor social infrastructure/service delivery may hamper the demand of Housing Units.

Presently one commercial complex has been planned and completed. Some leading banks established their branch in Sanand after announcement of Nano plant. Owing to absence of any tourism resources, there is absence of demand for hotel and restaurant. However in future

Page 31: CDP Sanand

1.1.6. Strategies for Leveraging Growth of Ahmedabad

The discussions in above section analyses the economy of Sanand which has been declared satellite town of Ahmedabad. As discussed Satellite Town aimed to stop the urban sprawl, provide an alternate business center by absorbing the growth of parent Metropolitan City. It is required to analyze the Economy of Ahmedabad City to assess its sectoral growth pattern. The growth pattern of economy of Ahmedabad city has been analysed as follows.

ECONOMY OF AHMEDABAD

Ahmedabad city assume importance in the Gujarat Economy owing to its contribution and large concentration of economic activities. In 1995, with 7% of state’s population, Ahmedabad contributed 10 17 % of state income4.

Ahmedabad district’s 28% of investment proposed in Ahmedabad city, which is less compared to Sanand Taluka (49%), However 56% of district’s employment proposed in Ahmedabad city. The highest employment share is owing to largest employment share proposed in Industrial Park. The nature of the industries proposed to be established in this industrial park is not known.

It is also observed that total 17 Textiles units proposed to be established in Ahmedabad district, of which Ahmedabad City has highest share (8 units) followed by Sanand Taluka (4 units). Hence Sanand Taluka has already attracted investment in Textiles and Chemical industries.

Real Estate Sector

Ahmedabad district alone comprised 38% of stamp duty collection from sale of property indicating strong demand of housing and commercial properties in Ahmedabad district. Stamp duty collection data in 2009-10 indicates that properties worth of Rs 25000 crore was traded in Ahmedabad8. The stamp duty collection from the sale of property rose by 27% to Rs 780 crore

in 2010 from Rs 613 crore in 2008-09. This may be because of increased industrial and service sector investment in the state. This has led to increase in demand of housing units.

However Ahmadabad’s commercial realty will experience a supply-surge of 3.6 mn sq ft in 2010- 11 against the estimated demand of 2.5 mn sq ft. The oversupply will stabilize the value of commercial property9. The commercial realty in Ahmedabad is being led primarily by sectors such as banking, financial services and insurance (BFSI); telecom; pharma; and textile.

Owing to strong growth in Real estate sector, it employs considerable numbers of people in Ahmedabad and it will continue to generate employment in future. Further prices of real estate has been increased at unprecedented pace in Ahmedabad which may make real estate less affordable to house low to medium income group people in future.

Service Sector

Ahmedabad is a key trade center of Gujarat and plays a strong and significant role in providing commercial resources and market access for trade and commerce related businesses. This has led to development of mercantile corporation and associations. It is observed from the exhibit below that retails stores, business enterprises and recreation facilities alone employs 3.64 lakh people as compared to manufacturing sector employing 2.0 lakh people.

• Business Enterprises becomes highest contributor in employment generation. The employment generation has been shift from Shops to Business Enterprises.

The city is also turning out to be the leading retail destinations of India as a result of the malls and multiplexes coming up occupying an area of more than 5 million sq ft. The city has also many ancient monuments and reaches cultural tradition which attracts domestic and foreign tourist. This has led to development of hotels and restaurants. Further city’s education and industrial institutions have attracted students and young skilled workers.

Owing to lower real estate prices compared to other Tier -1 and availability of large pool of graduates attracted many leading IT/ITES companies to the Ahmedabad and Gandhinagar. As a result, there are nine IT/ITES, SEZ proposed in vicinity of Ahmedabad.

Key Drivers of Ahmadabad’s Economy

• Rich Industrial base of Textiles, Chemical including Pharma and Engineering industries.

• Major trade destination owing to strong industrial base.

• Tourist Destination owing to presence of many heritage monuments, cultural festivals and recreation facilities such as multiplexes etc.

• Presence of Prominent Educational Institutes

• Excellent Transport Infrastructure such as Roads, Rail, Domestic and International airport facilitating connectivity with economic drivers such as port, prominence APMC , Tourism places, other urban and industrial cities/regions of country.

• Better Urban Infrastructure such as water supply, electricity supply, and urban transport projects such as BRTS.

• Increased supply of Housing Units.

• Better Social Infrastructure such as schools, graduation and post graduation level colleges producing skilled manpower and health care facilities such as hospitals, clininic etc.

• The proposed Delhi Mumbai Industrial Corridor (DMIC), Dholera (Special Investment Region) and Gujarat International Finance Tech-city (GIFT) would fuel the growth of industrial and service sector respectively.

Economic Growth Pattern of Ahmedabad

• Manufacturing: Emergence of Investment in industries such as Chemical (including pharma) and Petrochemical industries, metallurgy, engineering and Textiles industries. Further Investment in new area such as Dairy industries, clinical research and construction activities has emerged.

• Real Estate: Impetus to growth of real estate owing to growth in housing demand and commercial properties. Prestigious projects such as Sabarmati Riverfront Development, Kankaria lake Development, and BRTS would further provide impetus to real estate.

• Service Sector: Emergence of business enterprises as highest contributor in terms of employment and numbers. This is owing growth in banking and financial services, trade and tourism related services.

• Proposed DMIC and GIFT would fuel the manufacturing and service sector such as financial services, IT/ITES and retail malls.

1.1.7. STRETEGY FOR LEVERAGING GROWTH OF AHMEDABAD IN SANAND

• Strengthening Social Infrastructure and Service Deliveries: Better social infrastructure offering shall be the prerequisite condition for development of Satellite Town. As discussed earlier the concept of satellite town evolved to decongest the metropolitan town by reducing urban sprawl and providing alternate business center. It is observed that people expects social infrastructure such as schools and primary and secondary clinics/hospital close to their residential facilities. However generally people are ready to travel at longer distance for post graduation and tertiary health care. Sanand Town lacks quality educational institutes and emergency health care services at night. In spite of being a Taluka Place, its schools do not offer science stream and does not have any colleges. By improving Better Social infrastructure in terms of educational institutes and health care facilities , Sanand can be positioned to attract industrial houses to establish their town ships and able to produce skilled manpower. This can help to shift the Housing demand to Sanand Town and reduces the burden and prices of Housing units in Ahmedabad. Better social infrastructure played key role in development of Gurgaon.

• Strengthening Urban Transport Infrastructure: It is observed that People are ready to be located at a distance if efficient and low cost urban transit system is provided. Presently 10% of working population of Sanand Commuting to Ahmedabad for

Page 40: CDP Sanand

CITY DEVELOPMENT PLAN SANAND 2010‐2015  

Centre for Environment Planning and Technology  Page 32  

employment purpose and Students are commuting to Ahmedabad for availing educational services. All such people use either their private vehicle or GSRTC buses. There is no any urban transit system connecting both cities. The People commuting to Ahmedabad for availing specialized services such as education and recreation would likely to be increased once industrial house establish their residential townships and vice versa can also happen given the situation in which Sanand can provide employment of people of Ahmedabad.

• Increase spread of Government Canal for Irrigation: As discussed in the Economy section that only 49% of Sanand Taluka’s area and 73% of net sown area is irrigated. Out which almost half of the net sown area irrigated by Ponds and wells indicating need to increase coverage of Govt. canal. The land in Sanand Taluka is very fertile and increase irrigation can reap higher food grains in the Taluka. The spread of Government canal can be increased to take the higher land area under the irrigation.

• Creation of Land Bank for Industrial, Commercial and Residential purpose. Availability of cheap and adequate land is required to attract the investment. Creation of Land Bank for Industrial, Commercial and Residential purpose would help to attract the invest in all such segment which helps to realize the investment in hassle free environment.

Further the service sector such as IT/ITES, Banking and Financial Services and retail malls are employment intensive industries are requires quality real estate. The cheap rental of office space along with availability of skilled manpower would help to attract the service sector industries. Creation of large land bank would help to lower the real estate prices and efficient urban transport with Ahmedabad would help to ease in commuting and hence skilled manpower from the surrounding area can be made available.

• Promotion of GIDC

Sanand GIDC can reside 20 units, of which presently only two units has been established in the GIDC. By establishing better internal hard infrastructure, GIDC should be promoted as suitable investment destination. This would help to locate the MSME (Micro Small and Medium Size Enterprises) of the Textiles and chemical industries.

• Promotions of Industries and positioned Sanand as Logistic Hub to leverage the development of DMIC (Delhi Mumbai Industrial Corridor). It is observed from the

Page 41: CDP Sanand

CITY DEVELOPMENT PLAN SANAND 2010‐2015  

Centre for Environment Planning and Technology  Page 33  

upcoming investment and industrial units established during last few years that, Investment has been increased in Chemical (including pharmaceuticals) and Petrochemical industries, metallurgy, engineering and Textiles industries. These industries have been developed in Ahmedabad owing to presence of trade markets, proximity of ports and clustering effect. Situated in proximity of Ahmedabad, Sanand enjoys access to markets of Ahmedabad and strong connectivity with Kutch and Saurashtra ports. Sanand can leverage its strategic location by promoting it as industrial hub for textile, chemical, textile industries and EXIM based industries.

Development of DMIC would create demand of value added services such as basic fabrication, packaging etc to Central and Northern India‘s cargo going to Kutch and South Saurashtra based ports. The logistic park at Sanand satisfies this need. This park will also serve the prestigious Nano Projects and some other industries coming up in near future in this region.

• Create Recreation Facilities. Recreation facility improves the quality of life. Sanand does not have any cinemas/multiplex, quality hotels/ restaurants presently. Hence development of recreation facilities such as multiplexes, cinemas etc, restaurants and hotels would require providing impetus to Service Sector and this would increase employment.

• Strengthening of institutional capability of Municipality. Development of Sanand Town shall be proposed as independent satellite town. The main objective is to absorb pressures of settlement and industrial growth of Ahmedabad. This can be attained by providing higher quality of urban services such as water supply and treatment, sewerage treatment, and solid waste treatment, excellent social infrastructure of educational and health care facilities etc. All such services shall be attained by first adequate planning, conceptualizing the concept of projects, implementing and maintaining the social infrastructure projects. The success of above service deliveries depends on the institutional capacities of Municipalities. The above requirement demands competent processes and well trained, competent and motivated human resources. Thus regular planned training programme can be organized.

2. Land use and Growth Dynamics

2.1. Background In case of Sanand, the developments in its adjoining region are the major contributing factors for population growth in Sanand. The distribution of the land use structures is a major phenomenon which controls the spread of the city as well as mobility within the city. This chapter explains the pattern of the spatial expansion of the city.

2.2. Spatial Extents of Sanand city Sanand Municipality has completed 123 years since its establishment in 1885. After the implementation of Panchayati Raj from 1st April 1963 Sanand Municipality was converted to Nagar Panchayat under the 1961 Gujarat Adhiniyam and the Revenue area of town untill then not vested in the municipality came to be vested in the Nagar Panchayat, thus making the revenue and municipal limits of the town co-terminus. In the process two hamlets (namely Gibpura and Laypara) situated away from the main town were also brought under the jurisdiction of the Nagar Panchayat making the total nagar panchayat area as 40.4 sq.km. After 15th April 1994, Sanand Nagarpalika was formed for the entire area of 40.4 sqkm.

Since its inception Sanand has grown with variations. It is apparent from the table below a boom in population during the 1960’s.

Table 2‐1 Population growth of Sanand Year  Area (sq. km)  Total Population  %  Decadal

Sanand is medium size town and it is not easy to divide it into functional areas in view of its

compactness and the history of its growth. The town has tended to develop radially in all

directions with a commercial zone at its center. The development of town has not been by

functional categories and a mixture of houses put to various uses may be found in all the wards.

A problem of haphazard and mix land use development is visible. The changes in the land use

distribution are discussed below.

2.3. Land use Developments in 1997 

The Ahmedabad Urban Development Authority is responsible for land use planning within Sanand Taluka limits. In 1997, only 8% (356 Ha) of the total area (4042 Ha) was developed. Considering the developed area, the density of Sanand was 72.11 persons / Ha. Old gamtal area was covered by mixed land-use comprising of residential, commercial and public purposes. The APMC, ginning factories and rice mills on the railway station road formed the commercial and industrial activities, while new residential developments were observed on the south of the State Highway No.17.

Ahmedabad city may be due to less industrial developments in these centers along with the slow infrastructure and urban development.

2.5. Current Land Use Developments (Till 2009) in Sanand

A survey was conducted by AUDA in 2009 to review the current land use and developments. The table below shows the details of the same. It was found that the total developed area is increased by 90 Ha. There is considerable decrease in the industrial area. In 1997, 23.6 % of the developed area was occupied by industrial use, whereas now the industries occupy only 7.12% of the total developed area. (Refer Map 3.2)

It can be observed from the above table that the city expanding along the major transport corridors:

1. Sanand-Viramgam SH No. 17

2. Sanand-Nalsarovar Road and

3. Sanand-Bavla Road SH No. 135

The city is experiencing haphazard development mainly in the form on mixed residential and institutional as well as commercial activities spread along the Viramgam state highway. The area covered under the water bodies (21.97 Ha) is

decreasing compared to its use in 1997 (36 Ha) as a result of encroachments along the bank of the lakes especially along the ‘Gaurav Path’. Removing these encroachments situated in the catchment area should be done on priority basis for their conservation.

2.6. Recent Developments in the Region and Its Impacts

The advantageous location of Sanand as far as industrial developments are concerned has motivated setting up of Special Investment Regions (SIR) in its surroundings. About, 12 km from the Sanand city, is the Tata’s Nano small car manufacturing plant. The other developments such as Changodar SIR and Sanand SIR are under planning stage by GIDC and can be seen as the major developments catering to increased employment opportunities.

About 4.28 km of the Dedicated Freight Corridor passes through Sanand Taluka.

All these developments will be the major factors contributing towards high population growth.

2.7. Impact on Land Prices Annual Statement of Rates (ASR) / Jantry Rates

Sanand Taluka is covered under the AUDA village area jantry. The jantry rates are prepared in 2006. It was found during the field surveys that the sudden escalation in market rates was observed only after the declaration of setting up of Tata Small Car Manufacturing (Nano) plant in Sanand i.e. since 2009. The official rates of properties as per jantry of the area are given in the table below:

Major impact is observed in the form of escalating land rates in the city especially along the Sanand-Viramgam State Highway (No. 17). Since the city has been declared as a ‘Satellite town’ of Ahmedabad city, the land rates are increased by almost 500-1000 Rs. per Sq. Yard. The land parcels along the state highway cost about Rs. 7000-8000 per Sq. yard now. (Refer

Map 3.3)

2.8. Population Growth and Projection As per UDPFI (Urban Development Plans Formulation & Implementation Guide lines) (GOI) density of developed towns can be considered as follows:-

Settlement Type Density Persons per hectare (pph) In plain areas

Small towns 75-125 Medium Towns 100-150

Large Cities 100-150 Metro Cities 125-175

As Sanand is a medium developed town, density per ha. can be considered as 100 & 150 for year 2026 & year 2041.

2.9. Issues • Developments concentrated along the transport corridors: Developments along the

major roads create traffic congestion on roads especially during the peak hours.

Page 49: CDP Sanand

CITY DEVELOPMENT PLAN SANAND 2010‐2015  

Centre for Environment Planning and Technology  Page 41  

Especially the issues such as ‘parking’ are not given importance, thus contributing

towards road congestion.

• Delay in the completion of Town Planning Schemes: Delay in the completion and

implementation of the town planning schemes has may lead to haphazard development

of the area in future.

• Congestion on the main market road: Uncontrolled commercial development and lack

of parking space contributes to the congestion along the main market road of the city. As

there is no reserved space and specified day for hawkers (street vendors), they occupy

major portion of the road throughout the year.

• Encroachments along the Lakes: Encroachments in the open space along the

Bhadreti lake and other two lakes can be observed. This hampers the natural drainage

system of the area. This becomes one of the issues to be resolved on priority basis

since the untreated waste water of the city also goes to be lakes.

• Escalating Land prices: The land prices along the state highway have been increased

by about Rs. 1000-1500 per Sq. Yard in last one year. The escalating prices create a

gap in the income and affordability of households thus creating disparity in different

classes of the society.

• Stagnant Industrial growth in the Region: The Taluka does not have any natural

resource base. Except agro-products such as cotton, paddy and tobacco, large

population of the Taluka does not possess any other resources like minerals or forest

products. A package of incentives for encouragement of industries in the state is

available to small scale units commissioned in particular areas which exclude Sanand

city.

2.10. Strategies

Many areas of the city are still lying vacant, unexplored probably due to lack of infrastructure facilities such as water supply, sewerage, road developments, and streetlight. These areas can be encouraged for to develop industrial units as well as new residential development, so as to reduce congestion in the Gamtal area. Development of TP Schemes is a mutually benefitting method for land development. AUDA has already planned four TP Schemes which are in draft stage and need to be developed with priority. This will also control illegal developments which might take place in absence of such schemes.

Page 50: CDP Sanand

CITY DEVELOPMENT PLAN SANAND 2010‐2015  

Centre for Environment Planning and Technology  Page 42  

Improved public transportation routes in Sanand that will offer residents more alternatives, traffic patterns to ensure smooth traffic flow in the area and a better connectivity to nearby towns and cities.

Development Planning Proposals:

Large areas of lands have been reserved for township development in and around Sanand especially on the road towards Nal Sarovar which is being released for real estate developments. It is required to provide the infrastructure facilities such as roads, electricity, water supply, etc. to create more demand for these land parcels.

The two upcoming Special Investment Regions (Sanand SIR and Changodar SIR) will act as pull factor for migration from the surrounding region. As Sanand town is located in the influence region of both of these SIR’s, it can be anticipated that it will be a preferred destination for residence if provided with good social infrastructure facilities such as schools, hospitals and communication facilities. Hence it becomes vital to provide adequate infrastructural facilities at Sanand.

With a view to develop Sanand as a satellite town it is essential to develop local commercial centers in Sanand which will create employment opportunities for the local people.

3. Environmental Services

4.1. Water Supply

Planning for water supply in Sanand town needs to take care of sustainable water management practices. The context of current culture and practices must be weighed together in Technological, Environmental, Economic and Social factors for sustainable solutions. This chapter tries to analyze the current situation, identify gaps in the system and develop strategies for the same.

4.2.1. Present Scenario

Source:

The present source of water supply for Sanand is town is ground water through tube wells about 16 in nos. Currently around 4 MLD of water is being supplied from ground water.

There are issues about quality of ground water. Quality testing of ground water indicates that, out of 16 tube wells, quality of water in several tubes is not potable with dissolved solids in most tube wells reaching near to the maximum permitted levels. For instance, water in only four tube wells seems to be potable with a TDS between 1236 and 1494. In remaining tube well the TDS is 1950 against the limit of 2000.

A scheme based on Narmada Canal near Telav Village is planned by GWSSB. The present allocation for Sanand town is 6.5 Mld. Currently about 6.5 MLD is being supplied through this source. Remaining water is supplied to Sanand Town through Tube well having depth of 250 m. with pumping machinery. The Water Requirement as per the population projections worked out is

Table 3‐1 Water demand Year  Population  Water Supplied in 

MLD Demand in MLD (@140 Lpcd)

Source: SNP and authors analysis 

From the above it can be seen that the water supply allocation is adequate for the present demand however there will be a deficit in the near future. Thus there is a gap of 14.5 MLD in water availability from source. This deficit has to be filled up through water supply schemes. Efforts are on to augment the water supply from Narmada to about 14.5 MLD. However, dependence on Narmada water during the irrigation months is doubtful.

CITY DEVELOPMENT PLAN SANAND 2010‐2015  

Centre for Environment Planning and Technology  Page 44  

Storage and Pumping Arrangement:

The present storage comprises Existing Sump of 10 lakh litres at Shankarwadi HW and existing ESR of 2.2 lakh litres at the same location. Also there are two existing sumps of 5 and 10 lakh litres at Mahadev Head works. For the Highway zone a 10 lakh litre sump and 12 lakh litre capacity ESR’s is existing. Further 30 lakh litres of storage is proposed under the present scheme under implementation. The total storage capacity in Sanand is 9.3 MLD.

Distribution Network:

The city has been divided into two Zones for water distribution (Refer Map 4.1)-

1. Shankarwadi zone -Nalsarovar sub zone, Shankarwadi sub zone 2. Highway Zone- Kotla road sub zone, Highway road sub zone

The distribution network in Sanand ranges from 10- 30 years old. The gamtal i.e. the old city

area network is about 30 years old. The water losses in current distribution network are about

20-25%. The present distribution network is very old and inadequate and hence a new

distribution network of DI and PVC lines in a length of about 30 km is proposed to be laid as

The implementation of 4 TP schemes will add another 40-60 km of road network which will necessitate provision of additional pipe network.

The design of the distribution network will depend on the hours of supply. At present it seems that the system is designed for 2 hours of supply. The old gamtal area is covered fully by piped water supply from the various overhead tanks located in the city which also caters to the water supply in the town. Since the T.P. Schemes have not been developed yet the provision for this area will be curtail and needs to be planned envisaging the kind of development. AUDA is proposing the TP Schemes with major proportion of area in R1 Zone. As per Sanand Nagar Palika 100% population is covered under the piped water supply where as only the gamtal areas and the area near the main roads in the TP Schemes is covered with piped water supply and needs to extend to the whole TP Scheme area.

The town of Sanand does not have any metering system at the moment, with the development of the town as a major residential area the water supply DPR has proposed metering system for the town and also improvement in the quality of water by treatment at the head works and also installing some treatment options for the ground water for removal of TDS.

4.2.2. Issues and Gaps

1. Inadequate allocation at source considering population projection for the next 30 years.

2. Ground water quality is not acceptable and hence if ground water source needs to be exploited proper investigation to be carried out to ensure adequate quality and quantity of ground water availability.

3. Inadequate treatment and transmission capacity from source to the various distribution stations.

4. Inadequate storage capacities – both underground and overhead.

5. Inefficient Distribution Network.

4.2.3. Strategies

1. Sanand Nagar Palika needs to develop additional water supply sources. While Narmada allocation is an option, full availability the water from Narmada in the irrigation months and

Page 54: CDP Sanand

CITY DEVELOPMENT PLAN SANAND 2010‐2015  

Centre for Environment Planning and Technology  Page 46  

in lean summer months is difficult. On the contrary, enough water is available during monsoon season. Presently there is no system to store the water available in the Narmada Canal beyond the canal capacity and thus water available cannot be utilized in later months. Thus there needs to be a system to store the excess water available from Narmada during the monsoon period.

2. Large storage capacities could be developed for Narmada water storage at a location identified by AUDA/GoG. The storage requirement being large, underground or overhead storage cannot be applied. Thus there may be the need to develop /maintain a lakes/ reservoir at the location. Further currently during monsoon there is a water runoff of overflow from Thor Lake to the three Sanand lakes to the Nal Sarovar lake. If this water can be trapped at Sanand, it could become useful for sourcing. The above arrangement for lake/reservoir at a location near the Narmada Canal could also help in this function of trapping the run off.

3. Treatment options for ground water need to be looked into carefully for future needs for removal mainly TDS.

4. Rain water harvesting techniques at the household level need to be incorporated in the New TP scheme areas.

5. Additional overhead and underground storage requirement for normal distribution functions considering the requirements of 2040. This can be provided in a phase wise manner to co-inside with development.

6. Additional distribution of network of 40-50 km for the Town planning schemes. The distribution network should be designed considering the future development of Town Planning schemes. The network should be designed to facilitate the provision of DMA (District Metering Areas) with measurement capability with flow meters so as to monitor flows. Consumer end metering should also be considered. This will help in reduce UFW.

7. Rationalization of connection charges for optimum recovery and metering where possible.

8. Upgrading the maintenance system and improvement in management practices, survey needs to be undertaken for the age of network. Regular maintenance schedules need to be worked out. Detailed maps need to be prepared for each zone. A detailed operation and maintenance plan to be prepared which includes end user operation and maintenance analysis , performance analysis of the system - benchmarking, and service level delivery including customer service, quality, reliability, safety and costs.

4.2. Sewerage

4.3.1. Existing Situation

There is no systematic sewerage system as well as sewage treatment and disposal system at all in Sanand town. Thus, the sewage from these areas of Sanand is being discharged into soak pits, septic tanks and open fields, which pollute the existing ground water table as well as the soil of this area. The open drains near the village site, gives odour nuisance and have become mosquito – breeding areas, resulting into spreading of malaria as well as other water - borne diseases. The raw sewage seeped in the soil can find its way into leaky water supply mains, thus causing heavy risk to the health of people, living in the surrounding area. The sewage further contaminates the water of canal, pond also. The untreated sewage discharged into open fields creates problems with crops and also field soil and also unhygienic conditions and nuisance for the people living in the area. Assuming that the waste water generated is 80% of water supplied the city currently produces around 4.8 MLD of sewage. This will increase as suggested in the table below

Currently there are 12 public toilets that cater to the needs of the urban poor. The city would need more facility in this regard.

4.3.2. Issues

• Lack of a proper sewage system for the city • Increase in the risk of contamination of groundwater sources. • Need for public toilets for the urban poor in the city.

4.3.3. Strategies

• The current system of disposal is inadequate considering the size of the city. This can also lead to contamination of ground water which the city is dependent on in the current situation. A detailed project report needs to be made considering the increase in population and new TP schemes coming up. 100% area and population needs to be covered under the system along with the provision of a STP for safe disposal.

• The distribution network needs to be planned keeping in mind the TP scheme road layout and the project will progress once the TP scheme layout is made.

CITY DEVELOPMENT PLAN SANAND 2010‐2015  

Centre for Environment Planning and Technology  Page 48  

• A proper STP is required for the city catering to the demands of 2040. Sanand also poses a challenge in disposal of treated waste and hence the water treated can be recycled and used for nearby industrial use thereby generating revenue. The gas produced as a result of Sewage can be used as an energy efficient model to run the infrastructure. Hence innovative ideas of recycling need to be explored.

4.3. Storm Water Drainage

4.4.1. Existing Situation

Out of the total area of Sanand of about 40.42 sq km, about 12.5 sq km area is likely to develop as a urban area in the next 40 years with a projected population of 2, 00,000.

The topography of Sanand town is such that ground levels are fairly even. The entire drainage of the area is toward Nal Sarovar. The city of Sanand has open storm water drains which carry the waste water from the kitchen and bathroom of the city and drain it into the three lakes without any treatment.

A Storm Water Disposal system has to be designed such using the Lakes of the area as detention water bodies with overflows in the natural drains towards Nal sarovar. The lakes have to be cleaned and developed properly such that no pollution enters the lake. Currently the Strom water drains are only located in the Gamtal area of the town and this needs to extend to the T.P. Scheme areas. Around 40 Km of road network will be developed in the TP Scheme areas and hence the main Storm water drainage lines need to be constructed alongside.

4.4.2. Issue

This practice of disposal poses a big threat of contamination of water in the lakes. The issue is even more sensitive as water from these lakes drain into Nal Sarovar which is an eco sensitive area and hence the city poses a threat to the migratory birds that come to Nal Sarovar every year.

The disposal of water into the city lakes also effects the urban environment and since this water is used by nearby farmers for agriculture, this can lead to contamination of food and vegetables.

4.4.3. Strategy

The waste water needs to be routed through the sewerage system of the city to avoid pollution of the lakes. Sewerage system designed should take care of this aspect as well.

The storm water drains should be provided on the city especially in the new areas to avoid water logging in the city at the time of heavy rains. The natural drainage of the city needs to be considered while designing the system.

Note the total construction waste for the town is the biggest contributor, and is a revenue

generation opportunity. It is estimated that by 2030 the waste generated will be 31.5 tonnes per

day. In view of the above the population of the town is estimated to increase by three times

hence it’s necessary to look into practices for both collection and treatment. Sanand is still to

make an organized effort towards solid waste management and in view of this it will be a good

idea to look into the private sector to raise the standards of health, sanitation and urban

environment keeping pace with the rapid urbanization and growing population in the Satellite

town to Ahmedabad.

4.4.2. Current Capacities and Management System

Door to door collection system is well established, this method has a larger dependence on human systems rather than mechanization. A recent Survey of 16418 households, estimated that door to door waste collection of whole Nagar Palika is 95% however the efficiency of the system itself in terms of reliability of collection is a problem.

There is a proposal under the cluster development scheme by the government of Gujarat to develop a common landfill disposal site for Sanand, Bavla and -----

Lack of capacities regarding Operations and Management currently affect the concerned civic department, otherwise the system can easily see improvements

4.4.3. Waste disposal

Municipal Solid waste Disposal site is near Madhavnagar (survey no. 142, 144, 2151) with a total area - 41,988 sqm (Refer Map 4.2). The total waste disposed off per day is 10 ton per day. This is lower than the waste that is generated, and in future needs to be included in strategies.

No treatment facilities exist, but can be brought into picture with partnership investments of private players.

Toxic and Hazardous waste

It must be noted that general toxic and hazardous waste is yet to be accounted for. Larger

quantity of very highly toxic or hazardous waste is subject to individuals own accountability and

the current legal provisioning.

At the Household and community levels, the minute quantities of toxic waste end up at landfill

sites or is incinerated, rather than carefully handled. This needs safe disposal.

Current Impact on Rural biodiversity

The rural cattle and flora fauna, typical to the Indian context is subjected to non-biodegradable

waste, and the issue needs attention.

One example is of fly tipping of plastic waste and construction waste accumulating in one area,

forming a heap.

4.4.4. Issues • No segregation of waste in the current practice. • There is a lack of scientific disposal site of for waste. • Location of waste site is close to the canal and hence there is a need for a sanitary

landfill site.

4.4.5. Strategies

Vision for Sanand to be a sustainable and healthy city requires waste management principles. The principals of Three R- Reduce, Reuse and Recycle need to be applied.

Investment is needed from the Nagar Palika in areas such as:

• Recycling

• Composting

• Incinerating

• Landfill dumping.

The concept of capacity building and technology transfer/adopted are important. Domestic waste can be disposed off more creatively like using wormiculture or if the waste has calorifc values, brickets can be made as it is already done by AMC.

Composting : Another innovative approach can also be explored for Sanand, since the waste is transported by trucks, half (50% to 60%) of the weight is organic matter which can be handled using various methods like vermiculture and only the remaining waste can be transported to the respective disposal sites. This will also help in tapping lot of dry tree waste which generally in the present system is burnt at source itself. Also, since the transportation cost will go down, the investment can be justified in long run.

Recycle: Since construction waste is highest, proposing a system like Crusher to recycle the construction waste and use it as coarse or fine aggregate back in construction. This is already under consideration by AMC and other MCs. Bombay has deployed a successful plant for the

Page 60: CDP Sanand

Centre for Environment Planning and Technology  Page 52  

same. Government can allocate land for the above systems and investment can come from the private players. As an immediate step Sanand Nagar Palika can allocate space for dumping construction and levy charges for dumping of this waste. Since a lot of construction is going on in Sanand steps need to me made to ensure water sprinkling is made mandatory at all the construction sites.

Invite Private Public Partnership projects as a priority, and subsequent consultations and dealings. Many private ventures would find it easy to operate once given a regulatory framework to perform and profits. Some identified projects are:

a. Educating people to segregate waste at source.

b. Safety and protective gear for people working as cleaners and sweepers etc., at Sanand.

c. Upgrading existing systems such as enclosed bins, transportation trucks, identification and building of waste sites etc.

d. Building infrastructure for green and dignified waste management systems. A secured land fill site has to be developed with proper scientific and engineering liners at bottom.

e. Composting of green waste and vermiculture. This can also lead to revenue generation.

f. Ensuring bio medical waste from the hospitals is incinerated.

4. Traffic and Transportation

5.1. Introduction

The city is well connected by road and rail transport. Several State Highways pass through the city. As a result traffic coming to as well as passing through the city is very high. The citizens rely on the GSRTC buses or on personal vehicle for commuting to Ahmedabad which is 24 km away from the city. Thus, the dependence on individual modes and intermediate public transport is high. This chapter describes the importance of location of the city and its connectivity in the region, current system of transportation and issues and future requirements.

5.2. Road Network

Connectivity plays an important role in deciding the current traffic pattern as well as future demands of the city. Sanand is a regional transport node which connects four major state highways in Ahmedabad district as mentioned in the table below. The road network forms a radial pattern of network. This leads to congestion of the core city area where all the roads meet. Due to the current development along the major roads there is lack in hierarchy in the system. The roads in the gamtal area are very narrow and there are encroachments along the Main Market road that leads to APMC market. (Refer Map 5.1)

The AUDA Development Plan, 1997 planned Sanand City as One of the four Growth Centers (Kalol, Dehgam, Sanand and Mohamedabad) of Ahmedabad city, which would attract rural population in the nearby areas and thus reducing migration pressure on Ahmedabad. Due to proximity to Ahmedabad and being a transport node, Sanand got integrated with the regional transport network.

5.3. Rail

Sanand is also connected by rail to the mother city Ahmedabad; there are four trains that run every day between Ahmedabad and Sanand.

As a part of the integrated mobility plan there are plans to connect Sanand with Ahmedabad through regional rail to improve the connectivity in the region.

5.4. Traffic

The traffic count data of the state highways collected by the Road and building department is given in the table below. The survey was conducted at 6 locations on the state highway. (Refer

Map 5.2).

All roads have witnessed increase in number of personal and commercial vehicles. A sudden escalation in PCU and commercial vehicles is observed mainly on the Sanand- Kadi Road and the Ambli-Bopal-Ghuma-Nidhraj-Sanand Road in last two years. A lot of congestion is witnessed on the road leading to the APMC market which is worsened with an overall lack of parking space in the city.

Centre for Environment Planning and Technology  Page 56  

A detailed study of the traffic pattern on each road within the city especially in the Gamtal area should be conducted to assess the situation of congestion.

5.5. Public Transport

Sanand is about 45 minutes drive from Ahmedabad and there is a regular bus service provided by GSRTC at an interval of half an hour daily. Apart from this the four rail services mentioned in the above section are also used by the public to commute to Ahmedabad. Apart from this people also rely on the shared auto service that is also available between Sarkhej and Sanand. There is a need to improve the public transportation system between Sanand and Ahmedabad and for it to grow as a good residential city.

5.6. Accident

• Almost 80% of the accidents in Sanand City are reported on the Sanand-Viramgam Highway. In spite of comparative decrease in total number of accidents, it can be observed that on an average 2-3 accident occur every month in Sanand City. There is a lack of street lighting on the city roads which leads to increase in accidents during night time as suggested by the stakeholders and the complaints registered.

Figure 4‐2 Number of Registered Accidents in Sanand City  Year Fatal Serious Minor Accident Without Injury

2005 14 6 14 5 2006 4 2 26 6 2007 9 5 19 11 2008 3 3 14 2 2009 6 5 15 4 Source: Sanand Police Station, 2010 

Provision of service lane on both sides of state highway could help in reducing the number accidents. Also, as recorded in the stakeholder consultation conducted by AUDA in 2009, the residents demand a ‘fly-over road’ on this state highway near the Bus-stand junction. However this situation can be avoided by a provision of a ring road for the city in the TP Schemes.

5.7. Current and proposed Projects

GSRDC has identified Ahmedabad-Viramgam-Maliya as a high density corridor connecting Ahmedabad and Maliya. This highway passes through Sanand and will impact the city. The construction has already been started on this stretch.

Page 65: CDP Sanand

CITY DEVELOPMENT PLAN SANAND 2010‐2015  

Centre for Environment Planning and Technology  Page 57  

There is another proposal that has been submitted to GIDC for creation of a transport Nagar in Sanand which will act as a major logistic hub for goods movement in the region.

AUDA is currently working on a study for the preparation of an Integrated Mobility Plan for Greater Ahmedabad Region, identifying nodes and interchange options for the various modes that are proposed for the region.

5.8. Major Issues

• Congestion on the major highways: The Viramgam State Highway No. 17 is an important road having PCU count of 13020 (2009). As this road passes through the Sanand city it is used for the local trips also. The Sanand Bus Stand is also located on this highway.

• The local trips create congestion on the State highway. Lack of allotted parking space causes chaotic traffic on this stretch. Service lane along both side of the state highway will help in streamlining the traffic on state highway.

• The citizens of Sanand are dependent on Ahmedabad as far as accessibility of good educational institutes and good health facilities are concerned. There is a need for a public transport system between Ahmedabad and Sanand.

• Bypass system for the city is also required keeping into account the number of vehicles on the main Ahmedabad - Viramgam highway and the Bavla - Kadi Highway.

• There is a lack of Hierarchy in the network- no sub arterial, collector Roads which leads to the traffic merging into the arterial roads creating congestion.

• Lack of street lighting on city roads.

• It is foremost essential that the traffic going towards and coming from APMC market should have a better and direct accessibility to all the State Highways without disturbing the local traffic wherever possible, which at present creates a bottle neck situation.

5.9. Strategy

Transportation and connectivity holds the key to the development of Sanand as a successful satellite town. The vision is to develop it as a residential town for the industrial development that is taking place in the region and also to release the pressure of Ahmedabad.

The following strategies have been identified –

Page 66: CDP Sanand

CITY DEVELOPMENT PLAN SANAND 2010‐2015  

Centre for Environment Planning and Technology  Page 58  

1. Development of proper road hierarchy in the TP schemes areas. Road hierarchy to be 60m, 45m, 35m and 30m so as to incorporate the future transportation needs.

2. Development of a ring road which will act bypass to the city and reduce congestion on the main road.

3. Development of a Public transportation system between Sanand and Ahmedabad. Private operators can be allowed to run the system. In the longer run provision of extension of the proposed BRTS from Sarkhej to Sanand may also be taken into consideration.

4. Provision of parking areas especially near the APMC market. To cater trucks and trailers.

5. There is also a need for developing intra city transportation options once the TP schemes come up. Along with this the roads sections in the TP schemes need to incorporate footpaths as the town itself is compact.

5. Urban Poor and Housing According to Census of India, 2001, the slum areas broadly constitute of; All specified areas notified as 'Slum' by State/Local Government and UT Administration under any Act; All areas recognized as 'Slum' by State/Local Government and UT Administration which may have not been formally notified as slum under any Act; or A compact area of at least 300 populations or about 60-70 households of poorly built congested tenements, in unhygienic environment usually with inadequate infrastructure and lacking in proper sanitary and drinking water facilities.

Slums are the agglomeration of unhygienic shelters arranged in congested manner without appropriate integral facilities like drinking water, roads, street lights and drainage being provided. Thus, conceptually slums are compact overcrowded residential areas (and not isolated or scattered dwellings) unfit for habitation due to lack of one or more of the basic infrastructure like drinking water, sanitation, electricity, sewerage, streets etc. These squatters are actually like blot on the urban panorama and also create unhygienic and dismal squalid environment and act as the source of spreading diseases in the city.

6.1. Urban Poor in Sanand City

The Slum population in the city is very low however with the increase in the economic activity and availability of employment the number of migrant labour is on the increase as evident from the table below.

Table 5‐1 Slum Profile Details 2009 2001 Total Population of SNP 50160* 33687 Number of Households 10550 8150 Total BPL Families 3661 4153 Number of slum pockets (2009) 2 11** Population living in slums 363 9075** Land ownership wise slum distribution in wards No Welfare schemes for slums / urban poor No *Estimation ** Source GUDC 

There were 11 slum pockets identified in Sanand city till the year 2008. In 2009 two slum pockets have been located. So far there are no welfare schemes implemented by the Sanand Nagar Palika for urban poor. The percentage of people living in slums is negligible however 7.2% of the families are BPL.

It can be observed from the above data that there is lack of public toilet facility in the city. The number of private toilets is 6320 whereas only 10 Public Toilets have been provided by Sanand Nagar Palika. More than 4000 Households lack private toilet facility increasing the risk of diseases in the city. In view of the upcoming developments, Sanand City will attract migratory labours in the future which may generate more informal settlements that need to be catered to while planning for the city.

Sanand housing stock comprises of the following type of structures as given in the table below which clearly indicates the rise in informal settlements in the city. Table 5‐3 Housing Pattern in the City Type of House Number of Houses (2009) Pucca House 3500 Semi-pucca Houses 6000 Kuchha Houses 800 Thatch (Zhopadu) 250 Total 10550 Source: City Disaster Management Plan, Sanand 

6.2. Housing

Almost 446 households were allotted houses under different schemes completed by Gujarat Housing board during 1995-2001 and by Rural Housing Board during 1990-1995. The details of which are given below:

Currently, two slum pockets can be identified in the Sanand Nagar Palika area. As per the information available from SNP, some of the households staying in these slum pockets have been allotted houses in one of the above schemes. But probably they prefer not to move away from their original place due to its proximity to the place of work. (Refer Map 6.1)

Real Estate Market in Sanand

Real estate market in the Sanand Town is dominated by increase supply of Housing units presently. The demand of Housing units generated mainly from specific income group who sold their land to industrial houses. Further perception of investor regarding strong future housing demand from employees of specific industrial houses also contributed in housing unit demand in Sanand Town. These two key facts provided impetus to growth of new residential townships. Presently five new residential schemes have been planned in Sanand Town and all are advanced stage of completion. All five residential township projects have been initiated by private developers. Three residential schemes have been planned on Sanand – Viramgam Highway and remaining Two Residential schemes on Sanand- Sarkhej Highway. The present supply of residential units is presented in following Table.

DMIC, Industrial Investment and SIR may drive demand of housing units in Sanand Town. However Law and Order Situation and poor social infrastructure/service delivery may hamper the demand of Housing Units.

Although such housing schemes will provide for the housing demand in the city, they will not be affordable for the labour class workers who may migrate from different parts of rural India. It will be a good option to provide for temporary accommodation for such workers with the help of some trust, etc. It should be made mandatory for the industries to provide for the accommodation of their staff and labourers. Such facilities are provided by the rice mills in Sanand, where the seasonal labourers work from November to March every year.

Future strategies

As mentioned above only two slum pockets have been identified in the city. One is located along the Viramgam State highway whereas the other one is located near lake. The slum pocket near the highway will be removed during the four laning of the Highway. The other slum pocket is also an encroachment on the bank of the lake which should be removed for conserving the natural drainage pattern of lake and its water quality.

Low cost housing needs to be providing by the government as taking into account the kind of development that the city will experience in near future. At lease 20-30% (around 100 ha) land should be reserved under the TP Schemes for the same

Arrangements need to be worked out for the seasonal workers who work in the rice mills.

6. Social Infrastructure

Development of physical infrastructure cannot usher in overall development at the desired level if the social infrastructure is not simultaneously developed. Education, Health, Social security, public entertainment etc. sectors has to be developed to ensure proper social infrastructure. Social Development is usually referred to as the commitment towards realizing the vision of the city. The provision of infrastructure facilities such as educational institutes, health care facilities contributes in the socio-economic development of the city. This chapter reviews the provision of social infrastructure facilities in the city (Refer Map 7.1). It takes a review of the,

7.4. Educational Facilities Education decides the development pattern of any city, it exhibits how urbanize a city is through its literacy level and exposure to different education facilities. Sanand consist of educational facilities ranging from primary school to college, which are provided by a host of agencies, ranging from the state government and local government to the agencies aided by the state government as well as private institutions. The status of educational facilities in the town is satisfactory when compared with the norms and standards given by the UDPFI. As, Sanand town have 20 primary schools and 6 secondary schools. It has two Industrial Training Institutes (ITI) and one college.

It can be observed from the above table that there are adequate facilities for primary as well as secondary and higher secondary education in the city, but for higher education and skilled education, there is only one college and 2 ITI. The students have to go to Ahmedabad (24 km from Sanand) for pursuing higher education in different streams. This hampers the number of student opting for such education. However if we look at the requirement for 2030 when the population will be three times the current population, there will be requirement as follows:

The industrial Training Institutes play an important role in supplying the skilled labour for industries. In view of the upcoming industrial developments in the region, strengthening of such training institutes will help in generating employment opportunities in Sanand and nearby region.

There are two Industrial Training Institutes in Sanand. One is a government ITI and the other is run by a trust with government grants. The institute imparts training in different vocational job oriented courses. The two ITI’s offers courses in streams of Fitter (2 years), wireman (2 years), Mechanic Motor Vehicle (2 years), Mechanic Diesel (1 year), Computer Operator (1 year), Armature & Rewinding (1 year) and Cutting & Sewing (1 year). In the pace of development of

Page 73: CDP Sanand

CITY DEVELOPMENT PLAN SANAND 2010‐2015  

Centre for Environment Planning and Technology  Page 65  

Sanand, the institutes will be playing a major role in supplying skilled man power to the industries.

The private college in Sanand offers courses in Graduation in Arts (B.A.) and Commerce (B.Com), Bachelors in Education (B.Ed.) and it also has Primary Teachers Training Center (PTC). The city lacks education facilities in Science stream. Gujarat state is well known as a hub of pharmaceutical industries. Sanand Taluka is home to reputed pharmaceutical companies such as Cadila Health Care Ltd., etc. It will be a wise decision to start a college which offers courses for Diploma/Bachelors in Pharmacy in Sanand.

• Sanand Town has adequate numbers of schools however service deliveries of schools are very poor. The figures of male/female ratio and teachers /student ratio of schools are not available and hence adequacy of numbers of teachers is not known.

• There is only one international standard good quality private school in its vicinity. It emerged from the discussion with the people of Sanand Town that each school lacks quality of teachers and infrastructure. Sanand Town depends on Ahmedabad city for good quality schools. In spite of Taluka place, Sanand Town does not have any higher secondary school imparting education on science stream.

• Further Vocational institutes like ITI have very low occupancy and there are no institutes offering graduation level science or any post graduation level courses in the Town. Students are travelling to Ahmedabad for education services.

7.5. Health Facilities As per census data for the year 2001, there are 21 beds in the medical institutions per 10,000 people in the town, which is slightly lower than the norm of 30 beds for 10000 populations as suggested by UDPFI guidelines.

In spite that, dispensaries and hospitals are mushroomed in the city, the city still lacks some facilities such as Intensive Care Unit (ICU), Burn Ward, blood bank and a medical college which needs to be provided as early as possible. The citizens have to come to Ahmedabad city for accessing good health facilities in case of emergency. During the evening and night hours, emergency treatment is availed at Ahmedabad only as doctors used to stay at Ahmedabad and come to the Sanand Town in morning. Thus availability of doctors during the evening and night time period for emergency services is area of concern10. Availability of doctors can be                                                             10 Discussion with stake holders

attained through recruiting adequate numbers of doctors and introducing the different shifts for working hours. Thus emergency treatment can be available in Sanand Town itself if need for same arises.

Apart from this there are 5 Public Health Centers (PHCs) in Sanand Taluka as given below. Sanand town is covered by Chekhla PHC with 2 medical officers and eight nursing Staff.

It can be observed from the table below that the number people suffering from diarrhea are increasing which can be linked to unhygienic conditions such as contaminated drinking water in the Taluka. The increase in Malaria occurrence can be again linked to unhygienic conditions resulting in formation of water pools which become the breeding ground for mosquitoes.

7.7. Recreational Spaces The city does not have a single cinema hall, multiplex, garden or park. The UDPFI guidelines recommend that the large cities should have provision of 10-12 sq.mt. Space per person for creating recreational facilities such as parks, maidan, playgrounds, botanical/zoological gardens or other multi-purpose open spaces. Considering the future prospectus of growth Sanand city should have minimum of 0.51 sq. km (51 Ha) of open space for current population.

Water bodies are an integral part of city open spaces and connected to various traditions and religious functions. At the same time it provides at time larger open space to the city. It also maintains eco-system. It provides immense potential to tourism in the city. Many times human interface with the water front’s of these water bodies May liable to contaminate and pollution. Therefore it is necessary to preserve and develop these large open spaces, water bodies.

7.9. Major Issues: 1. Educational Facilities: Lack of higher educational facility and quality of education needs to

be improved. 2. Health Facilities: The city lacks some facilities such as Intensive Care Unit (ICU), Burn

Ward, blood bank which is of prime importance during emergency situations. 3. Lack of recreational spaces in the city: The city does not have a single cinema hall,

multiplex, garden or park. 4. Law and Order: Increasing incidents of crime such as thefts, robberies, dacoits, etc are a

serious matter of concern for the safety and assured good quality of life in the city.

7.10. Strategies:

Education

• There needs to be an emphasis on good quality education for all, especially for the residents of slum localities. Improvements in the current system by capacity building of the staff.

• Sanand needs to invest in higher education especially in the scientific fields to become an attractive place to stay.

• A minimum level of learning through enhancement of opportunities towards access to literacy programs needs to be ensured.

• Professional and vocational colleges need to be given importance for setting up employment development resources through education and training programs.

Page 80: CDP Sanand

CITY DEVELOPMENT PLAN SANAND 2010‐2015  

Centre for Environment Planning and Technology  Page 72  

Health

• Reduction of health risks and practices leading to chronic and infectious diseases through effective implementation of sanitary programs, combined with regular inspection of food joints by the Food and Civil Supplies Department.

• To reducing the dependency on the mother city for Specialized services by providing for an all facility hospital along with improvements in the current system of management. 

• Need for reduction of environmental threats and hazards to health through an integrated approach by various concerned organizations and departments towards enhancement of the environment of the city.

Recreation/ Open Spaces.

• Taking up a tree plantation program along the roads to make Sanand a Green city. • Bhadreti Lake to be developed and converted to act as an effective open space and

recreational area. • Private sector participation in revitalization of the existing waster bodies of the city. • More Number of Socio-cultural Facilities to be provided as per population.

It is essential to provide following facilities in the city. It is suggested that the existing facilities can be upgraded to provide these facilities wherever possible.

8.2. Ground Water The capricious nature of rainfall had made certain areas of the State extremely susceptible to drought and famine conditions. Ground water conditions very in relation to hydrological setting. At present substantial quantity of ground water is being extracted to support irrigation, Industry and drinking water supply requirement.

Ground water potential11 of any area is calculated based on the ground water ground water recharge and total ground water draft in that area. In case of Sanand Taluka, the ground water potential category has been identified as ‘Over Exploited’ indicating actual draft is more than the quantity being recharged (Refer Map 8.2). Both Ahmedabad and Sanand Taluka lie in the over exploited zone, raising concerns of its availability for domestic and agricultural use. It can be noted that a lot of rice is grown in and around Sanand and hence the demand for irrigation water in this region is high. At present Sanand relies mainly on ground water for its domestic water needs which also raises the question on the security of water source for the town.

13.2.1. Ground Water Quality

Currently, Sanand water supply system relies on ground water for meeting 30% of their water demand. The water quality testing conducted for the tube wells of drinking water supply, reveals that out of 17 Tube well samples tested, four samples were found to be unfit for potable use. The tube wells whose sample was unfit were Tube wells near Shankar Wadi, near Laxman Pond, near Mamlatdar Office and near Mira Park Society. It was found that the quantity of Dissolved solids were exceptionally high in these samples than the permissible limit of 2000 mg/l whereas the desirable limit is even below, 500 mg/l.                                                             11 Categorization of Groundwater for future use 

The categorization for groundwater development is based on twin criteria: Stage of groundwater development and 

Long‐term trends based on the time series data of observation wells in each unit. The categories are as below: 

Safe = White  

When the  level of groundwater development  is  less than 70 % and the groundwater  levels show no falling trend 

over the last decade in any of the period. 

Semi‐critical = Grey 

When the level of groundwater development is more than 70 % but less than 90 % and the groundwater levels fall 

only during one of the periods i.e. pre‐monsoon or post‐monsoon. 

Critical = Dark 

When the  level of groundwater development  is more than 90 % but  less than 100 % and the groundwater  levels 

fall in both of the periods  

Over‐exploited 

When the  level of groundwater development  is more than 100 % and the groundwater  levels fall  in both of the 

periods.

8.3. Air Quality The quality of ambient air in study area is compared with prescribed standards for ambient air quality. While the concentration of SOx and NOx was observed to be within the specified norms, SPM and RSPM concentrations were observed to be exceeding the norms at some location. The high concentration of SPM and RSPM can be attributed to industries and vehicular traffic in the Sanand area.

8.4. Noise Pollution: The test for Noise levels dB (A) recorded at Chharodi Village around 10 km from Sanand, was observed to be high close to 56-59 dB (A) at day time and 48-51 dB (A) at night time.

8.5. Issues 1. Over-exploitation of ground water: This issue becomes important in light of the upcoming

industrial development. The whole Sanand taluka and along with the adjacent Ahmedabad and Bavla taluka are over-exploited.

2. Higher concentration of solids in Ground water: The water testing of tube wells revealed that the ground water has high contents of dissolved solid which impart high salinity and hardness in the water.

3. Deterioration of Lakes: Untreated waste water flows into the lakes deteriorating the quality of water. Encroachments and garbage dumping has also been observed in the lakes.

4. Air Pollution in the city area: The ambient air quality near Sanand-Viramgam highway is found to have high contents of suspended solids which impact on the respiratory system of human beings. The main market road which connects with the Kadi road experiences regular traffic congestion problems during peak hours leading to higher emissions from vehicles.

8.6. Strategies

Ground water conservation: It is recommended that, it should be made mandatory for industries to take prior permission for withdrawal of the ground water. Water intensive industries such as chemical industries, paper industries should not be allowed in this area. The development plan should encourage open area be reserved for ground water recharge.

Lake Conservation and Development: The lakes in the city should be conserved as they provide breathing spaces and can be developed as recreational area. Proper storm water drainage plans need to be made in order to protect these areas from pollution. AUDA has already planned for the development of Bhadreti lake. Removal of encroachments and tree plantation along the lake banks is recommended for its conservation. A buffer zone of 30-50 meters can be created to maintain the natural flow of storm water. The waste water of the city should be collected and treated in Waste water treatment plant before its disposal in lake water. There is a need for interlinking and conservation of other lakes as they form a vital link in the water that reaches Nal Sarovar.

Open spaces / Recreational spaces: The vision is to promote Sanand has good quality residential town and hence the issues related to vehicular pollution need to be looked into. Tree plantation along the roads and development of parks and playgrounds need to be taken up.

Rain Water harvesting: The existing lakes in the city need to be revitalized for collection of and can be conserved for augmenting the water table during monsoon season.

9.1. Vulnerability As per the disaster management plan the city has around 800 kaccha houses which are at high risk during Earthquake. Apart from this around 250 thatches are at higher risk during disasters such as flood and cyclone. Fortunately these disasters have very low probability of occurrence in case of Sanand.

Around 8069 students and 242 teachers are also vulnerable to earthquake in Sanand.

9.2. Manmade Disasters Sanand is however vulnerable to manmade disasters like fire. The Gamtal area has narrow lanes and in case of a fire incident it will be will be difficult for the fire brigade to reach inside the gamtal area. The intensity of chemical incidence is low in the city as there are no major industries.

9.3. Preparedness Preparedness in the time of disaster can save many lives; this section tries to Sanand on this criterian.

Fire Brigade:

Fire brigades are used in a disaster situation as earthquakes can lead to fires and also they help in rescue operations. Currently the city does not have any fire brigade service or a trained fire officer, this is an issue of great concern as Sanand has to rely on Ahmedabad and in case of emergency the loss of life and property can be high due to this negligence.

Health facility:

There are no specialized hospitals in the city as discussed in the chapter 7 (Social Infrastructure) the city still lacks facilities such as Intensive Care Unit (ICU), Burn Ward, blood bank. The citizens have to come to Ahmedabad city for accessing good health facilities in case

Page 87: CDP Sanand

CITY DEVELOPMENT PLAN SANAND 2010‐2015  

Centre for Environment Planning and Technology  Page 79  

of emergency. There are 12 medicine shops in the city which are adequate for the current population.

Communication:

Households in Sanand have access to communication facilities such as TV, Radio, and Telephone which can be of help for communication purpose during emergency situations. It should be noted that although only 13.0% households have a telephone connection, the personal mobile use may have increased which is not captured here.

 Table 8‐3 Communication Facilities in Sanand

Police Station:

There is only one police station and three out posts, for the entire Sanand Taluka. The staff at these station and posts is as below:

Table 8‐4 Police Personnel in Sanand Police Personnel No of Posts Police Inspector 1 Sub Police Inspector 1 Asst. Sub Inspector 1 Head Constable 4 Constables 15 Trained Soldiers (for emergency) 0 Source: Disaster Management plan  

There are no Para-police services available in the city such as N.C.C., Home Guards, G.R.D. or N.S.S who can help in case of an emergency.

Lack of maintained open spaces:

The city lacks maintained open spaces such as gardens, parks or accessible open spaces, which can be used as an emergency gathering center during emergencies.

Connectivity:

Sanand city’s proximity and connectivity to Ahmedabad is advantageous during emergency situations.

9.4. Issues • There is an absence of fire brigade and fire men in the city. • Lack of proper emergency medical services as the city hospitals are not prepared at the

time of emergency. • Presence of narrow roads in the gamtal area may lead to difficulty in access during

emergency. • There is a lack of police force in the city to maintain law and order at the time of

emergence/ disaster. • Absence of a proper Disaster management plan for the city.

9.5. Strategy

• To deal with the emergency situation in the city as a result of a natural or a manmade disaster it is important to have a proper Disaster Management Plan, detailing out the requirement of trained personnel along with procurement of proper equipment.

• Training and capacity building of the Nagar Palika employee is a must to deal with the disaster situation.

• Identification of the vulnerable school buildings in Sanand and proper retrofitting of school buildings as they act a shelter places in case of a disaster.

• Improve the medical facilities in the city to deal with emergencies, setting up of a burns ward in the city hospital.

• Disaster management centre needs to be established in the town. For this reason the Nagarpalika needs to identify the most potential area in the city.

10. Municipal Finance

This section would review and analyze the actual accounts from 2004-05 to 2008-09 obtained from Sanand Municipality. The chapter would proceed with analysis of major income and expenditure heads of Revenue and Capital accounts. The key issues observed and recommendations to resolve those issues are discussed at the end.

To start with, the following table provides a bird eye view to the status of Sanand Municipality’s accounts over the last five years.

Table 10‐1 Summarized accounts of Sanand Municipality from 2004‐05 to 2008‐09 Particular 2004-05 2005-06 2006-07 2007-08 2008-09 CAGR

It can be seen that revenue income and expenditure have grown steadily. However the Municipality is able to maintain revenue surplus, 21% of the total revenue income. This is lower than standard rate of 40% observed for sustainable municipal finance.

Capital income has increased substantially due to various grants and transfers from the State Government. On the other hand capital works have been executed at slow pace. It resulted to the notable surplus in closing balance of 2008-09.

Further, Revenue Account of Sanand Municipality is assessed.

10.1. Assessment of revenue Account The revenue account comprises operating income and expenditure. As shown above the Revenue income and Expenditure have grown 16 and 15 percent respectively. Major heads of Revenue Income and Expenditure has been assessed further.

Review of Revenue Income

The following table shows summarized revenue income of Sanand Municipality for last five years.

It can be observed from the above table;

• Grant and transfers from the state government contributes more than half to the total revenue income, followed by Tax income. However, contribution ratio between both the above income heads has been changing reversely since last three years. The tax income has been increased significantly due to major tax collection drive. The share of non tax income to the total revenue income has remained static over a period of time.

• The octroi compensation grant consist of 66% of the total grant and transfers while rest 34% comprises transfers from the State Government for its various schemes and plans

• Tax income mainly comes from property tax (64% of the total tax income) and water tax (36%). Income from both taxes has been increased 25% and 15% respectively in last five years.

• 57% of the total Non tax revenue comes from public service charges and fees while rest is generated through rent on municipality’s own properties.

Page 91: CDP Sanand

CITY DEVELOPMENT PLAN SANAND 2010‐2015  

Centre for Environment Planning and Technology  Page 83  

o Public service fees mainly comprise new construction fees and penalty (52% of the total) followed by water connection/ disconnection fees (17%) and property transfer fees (11%).

o 82% of the total income from rent is collected on municipality owned shops and 16% through rent on municipality’s community hall.

• Share of interest income has been increased up to 4% in last two year. It shows that a good amount has been invested as fixed deposit.

Assessment of Revenue Expenses has been done further.

Review of Revenue Expenses

Summarized revenue expenses are described in the following table.

It can be seen from the above table that:

• Revenue expenses of Sanand municipality are divided in to three major heads namely Establishment expenses, Administrative expenses and Repair and Maintenance expenses of the municipality’s assets.

Page 92: CDP Sanand

CITY DEVELOPMENT PLAN SANAND 2010‐2015  

Centre for Environment Planning and Technology  Page 84  

• 81% of total establishment expenses are made towards salary and wages while Provident Fund contribution was around 9% of the total such expenses.

• Electricity is the major administrative expense. It comprises around 76% of the total administrative expenses. Other key administrative expenses are petrol and diesel expenses (5%), deposits (4%) and contingency expenses (4%)

• In 2004-05, maintenance of vehicles and transportation equipments (51% of the total repair and maintenance expenses), roads, bridges and street lights (16%), Sewerage and drainage lines (12%), Public places and water supply (9% each) were the key repair and maintenance works. while in 2008-09, Maintenance of water works (45% of the total repair and maintenance works) is the major R&M expense followed by Roads/ Bridges/ Street lights (26%), Public places (15%) and maintenance of vehicle and transportation equipments (7%).

It can be said from the above table that;

• Although the Municipality has borrowed some amount, the capital works are primarily dependent on Government grants and contribution

• Such grants are mainly spent on Roads and bridges, water supply and sewerage and sanitation.

• It can be seen that capital income utilization ratio has been reduced from 1.18 in 2004-05 to 0.67 in 2008-09. It shows lower space of asset creation and thus excess of capital grant till 2008-09.

Based on the above discussion, issues and recommendations pertaining to Municipal finance are made here below.

10.3. Issues and Recommendations

From the review of actual municipal accounts of Sanand made so far, it is learnt that

• In spite of increasing Tax revenue, the Sanand Municipality is highly relying on Government grants and transfers as more than 50% of revenue expenditure is being financed from this source.

o The reliance on one source of income should be reduced with creation of other sources of own income.

o Also, assessment of properties should be revised frequently followed strong collection drives.

• The revenues of the ULB are by and large showing an upward trend. They show a fluctuating trend only with regard to certain streams of income. The property and streetlight taxes which

Page 94: CDP Sanand

CITY DEVELOPMENT PLAN SANAND 2010‐2015  

Centre for Environment Planning and Technology  Page 86  

are fairly major sources of revenue contributing 35% of the total own sources of income, show a generally upward trend. Some other sources such as water tax and education cess, contributing 20% of the total own sources of revenue, show some fluctuation. Fluctuation is seen in respect of non tax revenue such as rental income and new construction fee/penalty. These sources are exposed to market and hence are likely to show variations.

• Possibilities of generating other sources of own revenue through introduction of user charges, vehicle entry tax, theater tax etc has been assessed. However such new taxation would lead to strong public resentment.

• Around 12000 taxable properties are identified by the ULB. As reported by the ULB, the no of unidentified properties is negligible, leaving little or no scope for increasing revenue through enhancement in coverage. However, the town is likely to see an increase in population to around 1 lakh by 2020-21. This will mean an increase in number of households to around 25,000. This impacts the revenues positively.

• The collection ratio of the property tax has remained around 40% in the last three years. The ULB proposes to take this to 85% by 2012. The major challenge in doing this is the somewhat difficult local law and order situation which has been brought to the notice of the State Government. The State Government is keen on developing Sanand and the area around it and it is willing to facilitate the mitigation of any such issues.

• Overall, increase in holdings, increase in collection efficiency and increase in property tax rates combine to provide fairly high impetus in property tax income, thereby reducing the dependence on grant funds from around one half presently to only around 40% by 2020-21. Details are explained in the chapter on FOP.

• The ULB is also planning to focus on strengthening its own source of income by creating awareness among the tax payers, organizing ward wise camps for current and arrear tax collection, rewarding honest tax payers in public and offering rebate or other benefits on advance tax payment.

• As discussed earlier, the revenue surplus to revenue income ratios is as low as 21% percent against the standard 40%. It can be improved through increase in revenue income as revenue expenses seem fairly under control.

• On capital account part, the capital income utilization should be increased up to optimum level which is around 80% - 90% in urban finance.

Page 95: CDP Sanand

CITY DEVELOPMENT PLAN SANAND 2010‐2015  

Centre for Environment Planning and Technology  Page 87  

• Capital expenditures mostly have been made in three sectors namely Roads, water supply and sewerage and sanitation. It is recommended to opt systematic allocation of capital funds to all the key sectors of urban amenities and basic facilities such as storm water, street lights, public places etc. to obtain inclusive development of the town.

11. Urban Governance

Urban governance can be defined as an efficient and effective response to urban problems by democratically local government working in partnership with civil society. Urban governance also refers to the management of civic affairs by institutions to improve the quality of life in an inclusive, transparent, equitable and accountable manner. Good urban governance enhances city’s competitiveness and contributes to sustainability.

11.1. Constitution and Functioning of the Municipality The functioning of Sanand Municipality is governed by The Gujarat Municipalities Act, 1963 and amendment thereto.

11.3. Reforms Sanand Municipality has implemented the some reforms. However reforms in many more areas remain desirable if it is to metamorphose into a useful satellite town to Ahmedabad.

Table 11‐3 Reforms undertaken by Sanand Nagar Palika No. Reform Area Performance and Progress1 Computerization, E-

Governance and Online tax payment

Sanand already possesses a web site with downloadable forms for various services. Complains can be made online. Contact details of concerned office are also given. Tax calculator is also provided. The above service can be further extended to filing applications online, providing tax and other information for citizen in query mode etc. Departments are computerized but further work would be required in the area.

2 Tax collection Currently the collection ratio is very poor at around 40%. There is huge need to improve in this area. Area base tax has already been started in the year 2007-08.

3 Accounting Sanand has already implemented double entry accounting system. However books are not maintained regularly under the system and internal staff still needs to be trained.

4 Registration of Birth /Death and Marriages

System is done manually. Can be made online.

5 Human Resources Present manpower in Municipality lacks managerial and technical understanding in several areas such as planning, projects, bid process management, design, etc. Thus their capability and strength needs to augmented in two ways (i) Training (ii) Addition of personnel

6 Hawkers Management Presently some of the city roads are congested on account of presence of informal markets. These roads need to managed actively. A department / cell for hawkers’ management would be desirable.

7 PPP Presently there is no capacity to involve private sector or NGOs at project level or at the Voluntary level. There is a strong need to build capacity in that area since the municipality will have to deal with larger scale projects, some of which could be structured in various PPP formats.

8 Focus on Service Delivery and Infrastructure Creation in Social Infrastructure

In order to become a successful satellite town contributing to the entire region, Sanand will need to improve the quality of services, especially in the area of health and education. There is a strong need to develop capability within the system, either through formation of a school board/ healthcare institutions within the system which reaches out or partners with private or voluntary sector.

The class 1 post should be fulfilled with appointment of GAS cadre officer. Engineers, planners, finance and other professionals are recommended for the class 2 officer posts. Class 3 positions would comprise technicians/diploma holders and supervisors. Class 4 personnel would comprise the bulk of the need and would consist of maintenance personnel.

Capacity building requirements and implementation of the reforms

The training needs of the ULB are under assessment while the reforms are yet to be initiated at ULB level.

12. Development Perspective and Vision for the City

Looking at the vast pool of employment opportunities in pipeline for Sanand, it is of foremost important to have a development perspective and vision for a controlled and inclusive development of the city. This chapter describes the approach of the Sanand Nagar Palika, which included in order of implementation, stakeholder consultation, Strength Weakness, Opportunities and Threats (SWOT) analysis and formulation of the vision for future development.

The first meeting for the preparation of CDP was held in 22nd December 2009 where in the CDP policy Committee and the Technical committee were decided on. The Policy committee constituted of chairman AUDA, Municipal Commissioner AMC, Nodal officer GUDM and Chief Officer Sanand Nagar Palika.

Alongside this the technical committee was also setup to work with the consultant in preparation of CDP which included Engineer AMC, Engineer Sanand Nagar Palika, Senior Town Planner AUDA and Project monitoring and implementation officer GUDM.

12.1. Stakeholder Consultation Identification of Stakeholders and Process

The stakeholders meeting was carried out in November 2009 in the Nagar Palika Hall which was attending by 50 people from the community to know their perception of the growth and development of city in next twenty years and the major problems which they would like to get resolved as early as possible. This meeting was called upon by AUDA as a part of the Development Plan Process. Overall it was found that, being in close proximity to the megacity of Ahmedabad and the current developments in the surrounding region has changed the perception of the residents. The stakeholder meeting has come out with excellent outcomes which will help the congested city get transformed into a spacious, livable city with good environmental conditions. The minutes of this meeting were used to get an initial perspective on people’s views about development in Sanand.

Another stakeholder meeting was organized in December 2009 in Nagar Palika Hall. The stake holders who participated in the consultation process were: Government Organizations, officials, Residents, Non-government organizations.

Major Outcomes of consultation process

The major outcomes of the stakeholder consultation are:

Page 104: CDP Sanand

CITY DEVELOPMENT PLAN SANAND 2010‐2015  

Centre for Environment Planning and Technology  Page 96  

1 There is a plan to develop the city area by implementation of four Town Planning schemes, which are in the proposal stage. The citizens emphasize on the implementation of TP Schemes would enable the rapid provision of basic infrastructure services such as roads, gutter, streetlights, etc.

2 The Sanand Municipality area should be provided with Gardens, Water works, Drainage pumping stations, Educational facilities for which the process of land acquisition should be started immediately.

3 Sanand is located on the Sanand-Viramgam State highway no. 17, which passes through the core area of the city. Provision of service road on both sides of the highway is vital from safety point of view.

4 The road emerging from Sanand ST Bus Stand and going towards Kadi town is an important road in the region. This road should be declared as a DP/TP road and the condition should be improved.

5 Lake revitalization and beautification project for the Bhadreti Lake, Interlinking of lakes

6 Reservation of land for Municipality office and Fire Station 7 Quarters for the Municipality staff and affordable housing projects for the

economically weaker sections. 8 Underground drainage system and development & maintenance of roads in the city

area 9 Creation of Shopping Complex, malls, Swimming pulls, etc. 10 Over bridge at Bavala Road junction and Nal sarovar Road Junction on the

Sanand-Viramgam State Highway

Apart from the above series of meeting and presentation were undertaken to access the progress in AMC and AUDA. The first presentation for the committees was held on 22nd March in AMC which was attended by the commissioner AMC, representatives from AUDA, Chief Officer Sanand, President Sanand Nagar Palika to name a few. The second series of presentation took place in AUDA on the 7th May, 2010 where in the technical people of the AUDA reviewed the CDP. The meeting was chaired by Chairman AUDA and comments on detailing on FOP sections of the CDP were given. The final presentation was again made in the chamber of Honorable Minister Urban Development in Gandhinagar on 25th May, 2010. This meeting was attended by the Minister himself apart from Chief Secretary, Chairman AUDA, Additional Secretary GUDM, Chief Officer Sanand, Director JnNURM, President Sanand Nagar Palika and other stake holders. The Draft CDP Sanand was approved on the same day by the State level steering committee.

12.2. SWOT Analysis Strengths:

• Sanand has been declared as a Satellite town of Ahmedabad city: Proximity and functional linkages to Metro city Ahmedabad (20 km from Ahmedabad) are the key strengths

• Sanand is well connected with mother city Ahmedabad and other important cities in the state. State highway (SH) 17 is the most important connecting road, connecting Ahmedabad towards East and Viramgam towards West. Other important state highways are SH 135 connecting Kadi towards North, SH 144 leading to Rajkot, towards South and SH 135 connecting to Sayla towards South West.

• Dedicated Freight Corridor passes through Sanand Taluka

Weakness:

• Complete absence of two basic infrastructure facilities: Sewerage and Storm water drainage.

• Congestion within city area, especially the market road. • Absence of reliable mode of transport to Ahmedabad. The residents have to rely on the

inconvenient (in terms of timings) State transport services or the share auto rickshaws.

Opportunities:

• Sanand could be the hub for auto-industries in Gujarat. After Tata Motor’s Nano Manufacturing plant, the largest two-wheeler manufacturer in India, Hero Honda, is also planning to set up a new manufacturing plant at Sanand.

• Vast pools of lands are available in and around Sanand city lying vacant which can be released for the developments after implementation of TP Schemes.

• Two Special Investment Regions, at Sanand and Changodar, are being developed adjoining the Sanand Taluka boundary.

• Employment opportunities created by the industrial developments (auto industries, real estate developments)

Threats:

• Unplanned and chaotic growth of city possible if the pace of infrastructure development is not matched with the increase in population.

Page 106: CDP Sanand

CITY DEVELOPMENT PLAN SANAND 2010‐2015  

Centre for Environment Planning and Technology  Page 98  

• The implementation of planning regulations including building bye-laws should be adhered to along with speedy implementation of TP schemes. Delay in doing so would lead to uneven and uncontrolled escalation in property prices.

• The ground water reserves in the region are already ‘over-exploited’. It is crucial to control the withdrawal of ground water by the industries especially in the two SIR regions. The strict implementation of the Ground water Bill is necessary.

• The sex ratio of the city is alarmingly low, 887 in 2001. The sex ratio in the age group 0-6 is 780 female children per 1000 male children.

12.3. Vision for the city Presently growing at moderate pace, Sanand must be equipped to face contemporary challenges. It should be able to integrate its past as well as modern development into an organic whole. With the new growth trends taking place in and around the city, it has new roles to play. The town has been conceives as a primarily a residential town catering to the needs of the industrial development in the region thereby releasing the population pressure of Ahmedabad.

1. Promoting growth by increased employment opportunities

It is essential to tap the upcoming employment opportunities by way making available skilled manpower, locally, as per the requirement of the industries. This can be achieved by provision of adequate technical institutes such as Engineering College, ITI (Industrial Training Institutes), etc. Also, provision of basic as well as social infrastructure facilities in the city, will make it more livable and hence would be preferred as a place to live by the migrated people.

2. Controlled Development especially in newly developing areas

One of the major reasons for the unplanned and chaotic growth of cities is the gap in the implementation of infrastructure facilities to cover the growing population and its spread. Hence, it is important that the implementation of planning regulations including building bye-laws should be adhered to along with speedy implementation of TP schemes. Delay in doing so would lead to uneven and uncontrolled escalation in property prices. While making the detailed TP plan for the city it is important to have at least 20-30% space for low income housing.

3. Growth in harmony with the Nature (Conservation of Natural Resources)

VISION STATEMENT 

Sanand to become a satellite town to Ahmedabad in the sense of providing high quality living spaces, 

good  Infrastructure and  Safe  Livable  Environment  for  supporting  local  employment and  industrial 

growth in the vicinity of Ahmedabad.   

• Safe livable environment for all its citizens  

• Controlled Development especially in newly developing areas 

• Growth in harmony with the Nature (Conservation of Natural Resources) 

• Resourceful market place catering to its own residents as well as nearby population  

• Efficient transportation links with the surrounding region especially Ahmedabad City 

The ground water reserves in the region are already ‘over-exploited’. It is crucial to control the withdrawal of ground water by the industries especially in the two SIR regions. The strict

implementation of the Ground water Bill is necessary.

4. Resourceful market place catering to its own residents as well as nearby population which would be residing in the upcoming real estate / housing developments and the SIRs

Sanand would serve as the nearest city to the residents of the SIR area as well as other real estate developments along Nal-sarovar road. Sanand would serve as a resourceful market for all kind of commodities and services to this area which would ultimately help in creating employment opportunities.

5. Efficient transportation links with the surrounding region especially Ahmedabad city.

Being the satellite town of Ahmedabad, Sanand has functional linkages with Ahmedabad. Hence, it is vital to have an efficient system of transportation between these two cities which will further nurture the linkages. Along with this the city also needs a ring road which would act as a bypass to Sanand. There should be provision for the ring road in the town planning schemes.

Keeping the needs and the aspirations of the people in mind a vision for the city has been worked out

13. CIP for Sanand Nagar Palika

The Capital Investment Plan (CIP) discusses different projects identified under the CDP for Sanand Municipality along with phasing of capital investment and means of finance for those projects. These projects are mainly for urban infrastructure identified under the exercise for Satellite town development scheme.

The phasing of capital investment has been suggested based on availability of financial resources (for new investments and O & M), technical capacity of Sanand Municipality for construction and O & M activities as well as priority for city development.

The phasing/ scheduling of investments have been carried out through an iterative process. The following principles of phasing have been taken into account.

Figure 13‐1 Principles of Phasing 

• Priority based selection of projects in each sector.

• Completion year of 2012-13 set for all projects is aligned with the JnNURM guidelines to

complete projects under the scheme in the above stipulated time limit

• Inter-sectoral linkages

The CIP includes identified projects to cater to the demand of the city populace by the year 2041.

13.1. Institutionalizing the CIP Process The Capital Investment Plan is an important element and is significant in terms of the city’s management process and sustainability with regard to the delivery of basic services. Since the CIP provides a framework for the annual budget cycle, it should be updated and revised every five years. The need for updating is on account of:

• Reassessment of city growth and infrastructure needs

• Detailed feasibility/ engineering studies carried out of new projects.

• Rescheduling of investments on ongoing projects due to cost and/ or time overruns.

• Reassigning priorities within the constraints of available financial resources

Centre for Environment Planning and Technology  Page 101  

13.2. CIP for Sanand Nagar Palika Capital Investment Plan and forecasted future needs for provision of capital facilities under each identified sector is presented below.

13.2.1. Capital Investments

The capital expenditure requirements in each sector namely water supply, sewerage, storm water, solid waste, roads and bridges, social development, slum networking, disaster management, urban governance and capacity building etc has been calculated based on gap analysis output and the strategies listed under each service sector. The detailed project identification would be done at the DPR state and would aim at ensuring optimal and efficient utilization of existing infrastructure systems.

Accordingly, the total estimated capital expenditure required for providing efficient services to the population of Sanand Municipality by the year 2041 is about Rs.229 crore at the constant prices. The expenditure is divided into two phases considering executing capacity of the ULB and financial resources available with it. The first phase of investment is planned between 2010 and 2015 and balance is proposed to be implemented during 2021-25. The table below presents the summary of overall sector-wise investment requirements and means of finance.

As far as sector wise investment is concerned, around 52% of the total capex is proposed to be made in the four core areas of Water Supply, Sewerage, Strom Water Drainage and Sanitation. Roads and bridges including streetlights require provision of 26%.

Key projects in water sector are Augmentation of Narmada Canal, Water Source Development through storage and trapping, Ground Water Treatment Plant, Strengthening of Distribution Network, Creation of Overhead Pumps and introduction of meter based billing system. Whereas capital works for SWD mainly comprises lying of pipelines.

Investment for Social Infrastructure and reforms in Urban Governance/Capacity Building is 11% of the total investment each. The social infrastructure includes development of open spaces, gardens and education institutes as per the gaps identified under the CDP. The education institutes comprise 50% of the total investment in Social infrastructure. Such projects would attract private sector participation as they are commercially viable. Hence, Education institutes are proposed to be developed on PPP basis.

Reforms in Urban governance mainly comprise capacity building Information Technology based initiatives in the governance system. The cost mainly includes purchase of software, consulting charges, training fees and such other soft elements.

It is learnt that preparedness of Sanand municipality to face any natural or manmade disaster is in very initial stage. There is lack of responding facilities from fire fighting equipments to trauma care centre. Thus it is proposed to create such facility to cope with unexpected calamities. 2% of total investment is proposed for Disaster Management.

Basic services for the Urban Poor comprise 4% of the total investment. It includes projects such as slum networking and construction of houses for EWS.

It is observed during assessment of actual municipal finance that the revenue surplus is around Rs 65 lakh in last two years and is expected to be around Rs 80 lakh in 2009-10. Against this kind of revenue surplus, the O&M burden that would be created would be much higher (in the range of 4-5% of the Capex). Aware of this situation, the Government of Gujarat has proposed to provide a specific O&M Assistance / grant every year through the Ahmedabad Urban Dev Authority (AUDA) or any similar institution. This will make the investment sustainable and allow the reaping of the benefits of the satellite city development.

Also the ULB does not have a capacity to execute capital projects of value more than 2 crore in a year. This capacity could increase with reforms and capacity building. The AMC / AUDA / GoG will be assisting in this area also. The means of finance for the above investment is discussed here further

13.2.1. Means of Finance

The sources of funds for the above proposed projects would be as follows. The Central Government shall provide 90% of the total investment while the ULB would manage rest 10% as per the guidelines for the Satellite Town Development Scheme.

As can be seen in the above table, 50% of investment in sectors such as social development (education and healthcare), 75% of investment in solid waste management can be materialized in PPP format. Also 50% investment in streetlight development (out of estimated cost of Rs. 200 lakh) would be made with community participation where the installment cost shall be borne by the beneficiaries of the street light while the O&M would be done by the ULB. However PPP in other areas of urban infrastructure is very difficult to implement on successful basis.

Around 82% of the total investment shall be funded by the Central Government while 9% shall be financed by the UDA/ULBs own sources.

14. Financial Operating Plan

The Capital Investment Plan described in the earlier chapter creates its own burden of Operating and Maintenance Costs. This burden is met through the operating surplus created through revenue income over revenue expenditure. This operating surplus is typically used for capital expenditure but if the O&M expenditure increases, it is met through an increase in revenue expenditure. The level of operating surplus available defines the sustainability of the capital investments in the long run. Thus municipalities with high operating surplus have capacity to bear high O&M costs and thus such ULBs can absorb higher capital investments.

Small towns like Sanand typically have low operating surplus. Often the operating ratio (revenue income over revenue expenditure) of small towns is unfavorable. It is therefore important to ensure that the level of capital investment is sustainable and is phased correctly.

The level of operating surplus for Sanand is shown in the chapter on Municipal Finance. It shows that Sanand Municipality has generated a surplus of around Rs 65 lakh as operating surplus in 2007-08 and 2008-09. The surplus could be slightly higher to the tune of Rs 80 lakh in 2009-10 as per early indications.

However, while this level of operating surplus is not unhealthy (it represents an operating ratio of 23% versus a desirable 40%), in order to sustain the CIP, the operating surplus needs to be higher in the future. An analysis of the revenue structure of Sanand reveals that it is possible to increase it to a level of around Rs 200-300 lakh through various measures as follows;

Tax revenue

• Average demand of combined tax value per property including property tax, conservancy tax, water tax and street light charges is estimated to increase upto Rs. 2400 in 2020-21 from existing Rs. 1900. Based on increase of 10% in rates every five years. This is based on the continuation of the prevailing practice of such revision presently.

• Estimated no. of taxable properties would be increased up to 24,500 by 2020-21 from existing 12,500.

• Coverage ratio would be 100% while tax collection ratio would be 85%. This is based on ULBs own estimates and the same have been committed by it in the reforms.

• At present there are 792 professionals who pay average Rs 2000 as professional tax. This is likely to increase to 1400 by 2020-21. The tax rate would increase 5% in every five years

Centre for Environment Planning and Technology  Page 106  

Calculation of the all tax income is given in the Annexure 1

Non Tax revenue

Two major sources of non tax income namely rents on municipal properties and new construction fees are estimated to grow at 25% each. Past trend for both the income shows healthy 23% and 50% CAGR (For last four years). Considering the high growth potential of Sanand it is estimated to boost the given rate.

The revenue expenditure is estimated to grow with the past trend with influx of additional O&M expenses that would incurred from the new investment. The additional O&M burden can be reduced by taking up some of the projects on PPP basis. That has been discussed earlier.

Given the level of CIP discussed earlier, the level of O&M Expenditure is placed below. The O&M Expenditure increases coinciding with the phasing of capital expenditure.

The key question of whether the given level of CIP is sustainable in terms of the ULB’s capability to meet this level of O&M Expenditure is answered in the full financial operating plan for Sanand Municipality placed in the table below. The FOP shows the following features:

• The revenue income level of Sanand rises from present around Rs 3 crore in 2009-10 to around Rs 14 crore to 2020-21

Page 115: CDP Sanand

CITY DEVELOPMENT PLAN SANAND 2010‐2015  

Centre for Environment Planning and Technology  Page 107  

• The revenue surplus is not enough to meet the operating expenditure arising from the CIP in most years. However the capacity of the ULB to absorb a higher level of capital works is enhanced through the mechanism of an O&M Assistance Grant from the AUDA/GoG which would be filling this deficit to allow sustainable investments.

• A sum of Rs 500 lakh is set aside from the municipal fund for completion of existing projects.

Despite various measures and reforms suggested to increase own sources of revenue and considered in the projection of the FOP, an aggregate estimated O&M assistance of Rs. 7.90 crore upto 2020-21 would be required for the sustenance of the CIP. This is after almost enhancement of own sources revenue through conventional (increase in tax base, tax rate, collection efficiency etc.) and unconventional (PPP etc.). However, the burden in this regard for O&M assistance works out to be only Rs. 65 lakh pa on an average.

It can be seen from the summary of the FOP through a mix of increase in revenue income levels and the O&M assistance / grant discussed earlier, the burden of O&M expenditure for the next twenty years arising from the CIP is sustainable.

The details of the FOP are shown in the table following this chapter.
