Introduction: Overview of survey

○ Purpose of survey

The Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry and the Maharashtra State government signed a

Memorandum of Cooperation (September 11, 2015) and agreed on the implementation of and

cooperation on a feasibility study for developing a smart city in Navi Mumbai. This report seeks to

conduct a study on the current status of the area, propose new policies for the development of a

smart city in this area with a view to developing a JCM project in the future, and propose project

schemes for the diffusion of low-carbon technologies and products linked with the policy proposals

aforementioned. This will identify the value of JCM and advanced low-carbon technologies and

products and promote the diffusion of low-carbon technologies and products through the

implementation of a smart city development project in Navi Mumbai, as well as help promote

understanding towards the signing of bilateral agreements regarding new schemes and enable Japan

to contribute to India’s achievement of a sustainable environment.

○ Description of survey

The current status of plans to develop a smart city in Navi Mumbai is as follows: a. the

industries to establish business operations in the area are yet to be decided; b. the scale of the

residential area and housing structure are yet to be determined; and c. there is no concrete vision of

commercial areas. Therefore, in light of formulating a development plan for the area, it is required

that the feasibility of setting up a JCM project and developing a smart city is explored and that

necessary components are incorporated into the development plan.

With the aim to identify the potential for setting up a JCM project and developing a smart city

we conducted the following studies, based on a bibliographic survey and interviews, etc.

(1) A study on policies and recent developments regarding smart city development in India

(2) A proposal for policies related to developing JCM projects and smart cities in India

(technological standards and financial support for low-carbon technologies and products)

(3) A study on concrete plans for project implementation

(4) A study on emission reduction methodologies applicable when implementing projects and use of

the methodology to estimate potential emission reductions

(5) An analysis of the economic impact of project implementation and its impact on India

(6) Challenges to be faced in project implementation as well as success factors and unresolved

issues regarding the development of a JCM project

(7) Implementation of measures required to foster and enhance understanding toward JCM and

smart cities among government officials and companies in India

Chapter 1: Policies and trends regarding the development of

smart cities in India

1. Relationship with polices regarding the development of smart cities in

India

1.1 Developments leading to the proposal of the Smart City Mission

India has promoted economic activity under the Special Economic Zone Act, enacted in June

2005. Later in December 2006, Japan and India joined hands in constructing a dedicated freight

railway system running through six states, followed by the launching of the Delhi-Mumbai Industrial

Corridor concept which would establish special economic zones around the railway system, thereby

creating an economic region with infrastructure including roads and electric power plants, as well as

industrial zones, logistic hubs, and commercial establishments. In addition to DMIC, the Golden

Quadrilateral was conceptualized to construct a highway connecting Delhi, Kolkata, Chennai and

Mumbai. However, infrastructure development failed to progress as planned and left many special

zones non-functional. Furthermore, in India, drastic annual increases in urban population have raised

demand for basic social infrastructure, such as water and electric power supply and urban

transportation.

Against this backdrop, the Indian government, in its efforts to improve industrial and urban

infrastructure, has launched an initiative to create 100 smart cities across the nation by 2022 (“Smart

Cities Mission”) and the Atal Mission for Rejuvenation & Urban Transformation (AMRUT), an

urban renewal scheme covering 500 cities.

1.2 Policies relevant to smart city development

Major initiatives implemented alongside the Smart Cities Mission and AMRUT include the

Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY) scheme and the Swachh Bharat Mission (SBM) that address

urban population growth, which is forecasted to jump from 377 million people (2011) to 600 million

people (2031). The paragraphs below will briefly introduce each initiative and discuss the

relationship among them.

1.2.1 Smart Cities Mission

In June 2015, the Government of India (Ministry of Urban Development) announced the

Mission Statement and Guidelines for creating 100 smart cities. While there is no universally

accepted definition of “smart city”, examples of smart solutions are given in an illustrative list of

elements that compose a smart city, as provided in Table 1.1.1. On August 27, the same year, 98

cities out of the original list of 100 cities were selected (one city from Jammu & Kashmir and one

Page 6: on the Smart City Development Project in Navi Mumbai, India

3

city from Uttar Pradesh were taken off the list) (Table 1.1.2). Potential cities include 24 state capitals,

24 business and industrial centers, 18 cultural and environmental centers, 5 port areas, and 3

education and healthcare hubs.

The 98 cities will submit Smart City Proposals which will be evaluated for selection. The

selection process involves three rounds and is due to be finalized in August 2016.

Table 1.1.1 Elements of a smart city

Smart solutions Examples

(1) E-governance and citizen

services Electronic service delivery, crime monitoring, etc.

(2) Waste management Waste to energy, fuel, compost; water, construction and

demolition (C&D) waste, etc.

(3) Water management Smart meters & management, leakage identification, water

quality monitoring, etc.

(4) Energy management Smart meters & management, renewable sources of energy,

energy efficient and green buildings, etc.

(5) Urban mobility Smart parking, intelligent traffic management, etc.

(6) Others Tele-medicine, tele-education, incubation, trade facilitation

centers, skill development centers, etc.

1.2.2 Atal Mission for Rejuvenation & Urban Transformation (AMRUT)

In May 2014, the Atal Mission for Rejuvenation & Urban Transformation (AMRUT), an urban

renewal project for 500 cities, was launched. This project succeeds the Jawaharlal Nehru National

Urban Renewal Mission, a scheme implemented from 2005 through 2012 to encourage urban

infrastructure improvement, with a focus on upgrading public services, including the provision of

improved water supply and sewerage and the development of urban transport. In some aspects, it

embraces the features of smart city development.

In June 2015, the Government of India (Ministry of Urban Development) announced the

Mission Statement and Guidelines for this program, as it did for the Smart Cities Mission. The

components envisaged for AMRUT are provided in Table 1.1.3. At present, 484 cities out of 500

The initiative aims to provide housing for all citizens by constructing 20 million housing units with

basic civic infrastructure for the poor and slum dwellers in cities from 2015 through 2022. The cities

covered under the scheme include all cities and towns in India (4,014 locations) (determined by the

2011 census). The components of PMAY include basic civic infrastructure, water treatment,

sanitation, electric power supply, etc. Beneficiaries are eligible for an interest subsidy at a rate of

6.5% on housing loans. Financial support of 100,000 to 230,000 rupees (approximately 190,000 to

430,000 yen) per house is also available to subsidize the construction of housing.

1.2.4 Swachh Bharat Mission (SBM)

The SBM aims to improve sanitation in cities. The Guidelines for Swachh Bharat Mission were

announced in December 2014. The Mission will be implemented through February 2019 with a

focus on eliminating open defecation, improving waste management, encouraging

community-managed solid waste management and generating awareness about sanitation. All 4,041

cities and towns in India are covered by the Mission. The following components are provided in the

Guidelines (Table 1.1.5).

Another related policy measure is the Heritage City Development & Augmentation Yojana

(HRIDAY) which seeks to promote urban development through the preservation of heritage cities

and tourism in twelve cities. However, HRIDAY and Navi Mumbai have little in common.

1.3 Relationship among policy measures relevant to smart city development

This subsection will compare the four projects (Smart City Mission, AMRUT, PMAY, SBM)

described above.

Although the coverage area of each measure is varied, comparisons reveal some overlap

(Table 1.1.7). Furthermore, the Smart City Mission Statement and Guidelines provide for

collaboration with other related policy measures.

An observation of the coverage of each policy measure shows that 89 cities are covered by

both the Smart Cities Mission and AMRUT (c.f. Tables 1.1.2 and 1.1.4). Furthermore, both PMAY

and SBM apply to all 4,104 Indian cities and towns, and therefore the coverage areas overlap

completely. The implementation of these initiatives will enable focused infrastructure development

in specific cities. Therefore, although they are diversified, the initiatives will serve as a means of

fund procurement to improve infrastructure and upgrade local infrastructure and living standards.

As abovementioned, other policy measures addressing related fields tend to be simultaneously

implemented in areas where smart city initiatives are currently implemented. Therefore, in order to

understand the status of efforts to develop smart cities in India, we must take note of the financial

support available under other policy measures.

Almost all twenty cities have included smart solutions to improve mobility, water supply and

sewerage, waste (solid waste) management, renewable energy (provided solar power accounts for

more than 10 percent), etc. In particular, many cities have proposed to adopt Supervisory Control

and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems in water treatment. In terms of urban mobility, Coimbatore

will construct a 30-kilometer eco-mobility corridor and many other proposed efforts involve

reducing dependency on automobiles by constructing sidewalks and bicycle lanes. Furthermore,

while many cities will install CCTV cameras for enhanced security, Jaipur and Udaipur have

included the use of CCTV cameras for monitoring to preserve the beauty of Taj Mahal and

surrounding tourist destinations. Jabalpur, Coimbatore, and Kakinada have also proposed

locally-oriented solutions, including measures against flooding and storm surges. The New Delhi

Municipal Council has included relatively advanced solutions such as EV, but on the other hand

seeks to establish basic civic infrastructure.

Under the vision “to be a city that innovates and excites, while fostering the Quality of Life of

its citizens, sustainably and responsibly”, Navi Mumbai also set out solutions similar to the top

twenty potential smart cities. However, it ranked 45th in the competition. As the reason, although

SKIL Infrastructure Ltd. analyzes that it is because of its current status as a large city with existing

infrastructure, some people point out that was attributed that Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation

(NMMC), the proposer of Navi Mumbai smart city, opposed to setting out SPV which are monitored

by central and state government and the proposal did not have distinctive features very much

relatively.

In addition to India’s national policy to promote the introduction of renewable energy – mainly

solar energy –, Ministry of Power, Government of India, is already engaged in verifying smart

grid-related technologies and are expected to incorporate even more advanced technological

components of a smart city. For example, it, collaborated with New Energy and Industrial

Technology Development Organization, has implemented to verify distribution monitoring and

control technologies with smart meter in Haryana.

2.3 Selection schedule for the remaining 80 cities

The twenty potential smart cities declared in Round 1 will be followed by a selection of 23

more cities, each representing the 23 states that cities were not chosen from in the first round. This

will occur before starting Round 2 in April 2016, when renewed proposals will be accepted.

A maximum of forty cities will selected out of the remaining 57 cities in Round 2. Navi

Mumbai falls under the remaining 57 cities, and thus it will resubmit its proposal in Round 2 (Table

Page 24: on the Smart City Development Project in Navi Mumbai, India

21

1.2.4).

The total project costs for smart city development is estimated to be 480 billion rupees over

five years. Each city will receive one billion rupees annually.

From Maharashtra state, ten candidate cities submitted proposals and two cities were selected

in Round 1. The proposals of the ten cities collectively amounted to 320 billion rupees in costs, of

which Navi Mumbai, with the largest budget, accounted for 85 billion rupees.

In addition to the Smart Cities Mission launched by the central government, the City and

Industrial Development Corporation of Maharashtra (CIDCO8) announced a state-level initiative, the

Smart City Action Plan, in December 2015 for the promotion of smart city development in Navi

Mumbai. With estimated costs of 350 billion rupees through 2019, it has no financial support from

the central government and relies on funds procured by CIDCO and the participation of private firms.

Although Navi Mumbai is guided by a smart city development program run by the state government,

if it should fail to be selected among the 100 smart cities of the Smart City Mission, which is led by

the central government and acknowledged internationally, it could suffer the consequences of limited

funding and participation of overseas companies.

Chapter 2 Drawing on existing policy measures on smart city

development in India to formulate a project plan.

1. Collecting information on similar development schemes in India

1.1 Selection of industrial areas to study

The current Navi Mumbai development plan is still in the planning phase and therefore requires

reference to typical Indian industrial areas before a project plan can be formulated in detail.

Moreover, as this study intends to consider the possibility of developing a Joint Crediting

Mechanism (JCM) project based on smart city development, it will observe trends in other industrial

areas where Japanese firms have business operations. Observations will be conducted based on the

existing literature as well as interviews performed during local visits.

At present, India embraces industrial areas of all sizes, which continue with development

continuing today. In April 2015, the Japanese Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry and the

Indian Minister of Commerce and Industry signed a joint statement, which included the

identification of eleven industrial townships that Japan would invest in.9 Inquiries made to Japanese

government affiliates and companies located in India about the current status of Japanese presence in

the eleven candidate industrial townships revealed that the Neemrana industrial area in Rajasthan

state was the most successful industrial township in India. The number of Japanese companies with

business operations in industrial townships to be supported by Japanese investment is provided in

Table 2.1.1.

The Neemrana Industrial Area is located approximately 120 kilometers from New Delhi, close to

the northeastern border of Rajasthan state and shared with Haryana state. This industrial area has not

been designated a special economic zone (SEZ) but is located in the area surrounding the

abovementioned Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor (DMIC), where the Indian Government will be

most focused. Hence, we decided to visit Neemrana, a successful example to which we would be

able to refer to as we drew our development plans for Navi Mumbai.

Figure 2.1.1 Location of Neemrana

1.2 Survey results of similar industrial areas

The Neemrana industrial area has been developed by the Rajasthan State Industrial Development

and Investment Corporation (RIICO). One It embraces three three development zones, one of which

is dedicated to Japanese firms. Plots have been allotted since 2007 and Japanese firms, mainly

electronic machinery and automobile parts manufacturers, have set up industrial units in 80 percent

of the zone. The Japanese industrial zone stretches over an area of approximately 467 ha, consuming

around 100MW.

Rajasthan Neemrana 46

Page 27: on the Smart City Development Project in Navi Mumbai, India

Figure 2.1.2 Map of Neemrana industrial area

Figure 2.1.3 Landscape of Neemrana

i. Power supply in Neemrana

Power supply in Neemrana has changed drastically from the initial stage of development to today.

The industrial area and its surroundings currently have two grid systems: 11kV and 33kV. During the

early years all electric power was supplied through a 11kV system. However, since the 11kV system

supplies power to a wide range of users including households, it was prone to unpredictable power

outages several times a week, and sometimes days without electricity once an outage occurred. We

Page 28: on the Smart City Development Project in Navi Mumbai, India

25

learned that the industrial zone has therefore followed the steps provided below for an improved

power supply.

Steps Measures Notes

First period

(2007-)

・Connected off-grid DEGs and set up a captive power

to enable the mutual

interchange of electric power among local users.

・*1: c.f. Figure 2.1.4

・Reduced power outage

・Reduced fuel costs for

off-grid DEGs

This has drastically reduced power outage frequency to a few hours once a month. Users have

retained their off-grid DEGs as a backup power system in preparation of sudden power outages.

Figure 2.1.4 Conceptual illustration of power supply based on CPP and PV power generation

Not only the capacity but also the quality of electric power facilities is an important factor in

ensuring a stable electric power supply. Therefore, we surveyed how the power grid facilities were

installed in the industrial area to find that the overhead power lines used bare wire with insufficient

clearance between trees and power lines and that the underground cable was also directly buried with

Page 29: on the Smart City Development Project in Navi Mumbai, India

26

no protective cover. We observed much room for improvement, learning that even the most

successful industrial area in India continues to be challenged with blackout risk. However, this may

also be an issue of different perceptions regarding cost and the quality of electric power supply; and

therefore, negotiations for improvement may be varied depending on the owner of the power lines in

the industrial area.

Figure 2.1.5 Overhead grid power lines

Figure 2.1.6 Underground cables

ii. Points to consider when developing an industrial area

In industrial areas expecting overseas Japanese firms to set up industrial units, the living

conditions of Japanese employees must be considered, in addition to the issue of stabilizing the

energy supply. According to a company that we visited, single Japanese workers live close to the

industrial zone, while workers with families commute from Gurgaon City, Haryana state, where

residents can enjoy access to a good educational environment and living conditions (c.f. Figure

Page 30: on the Smart City Development Project in Navi Mumbai, India

27

2.1.1). However, even single people need to drive into Gurgaon City to shop for food at least once a

month. Furthermore, with the National Highway 8 (NH8) connecting Gurgaon City and Neemrana

industrial area challenged with chronic congestion, residents have suffered burdens in both

commuting and daily living. A residential area (housing, commercial establishments, hospitals, etc.)

is currently under construction near the industrial area (c.f. Figures 2.1.2, 2.1.7).

Figure 2.1.5 Residential area under construction near the industrial area

The Supa industrial area (total area of 930ha, of which the Japanese industrial zone covers

approximately 200ha; plot allotment initiated in September 2015) in Maharashtra state, which was

identified among the eleven industrial townships for facilitating investment from Japan, also has a

hospital, a Japanese school, and restaurants, in addition to an industrial zone.

It can be said that providing a good living environment for workers, in addition to developing the

industrial zone itself, will facilitate the business expansion of Japanese companies into an industrial

area.

2. Formulation of the development plan

2.1 Current Navi Mumbai Special Economic Zone (NMSEZ) development plan

NMSEZ comprises four Special Economic Zones (SEZs) of various sizes, namely, Ulwe

(Waterfront), Ulwe (Airport), Kalamboli, and Dronagiri, collectively covering approximately

2,000ha. To travel from the center of ever-growing Mumbai to NMSEZ, one would have to travel

two hours to two and a half hours by car through the northern part of Mumbai Bay. However, plans

to construct a 22 kilometer road bridge stretching over the Mumbai Bay financed by yen loans are

underway. The completion of the bridge will drastically reduce travel time from Mumbai to NMSEZ

Page 31: on the Smart City Development Project in Navi Mumbai, India

28

to approximately 30 minutes. Furthermore, the construction of a new airport has been started in the

northern part of Navi Mumbai. According to interviews, both the road bridge and airport are due to

be completed in fiscal 2019 (and begin operations in the beginning of 2020), but the actual

completion is subject to change (Figure 2.2.1).

Figure 2.2.1 NMSEZ development area

NMSEZ is currently subject to the following conditions of development:

・ In addition to the industrial zone, it shall have commercial and residential zones and parks

shall be set up.

・ Eighty-five percent of the total development area shall be earmarked for industrial purposes.

(The remaining 15% shall be earmarked for commercial and residential purposes as well as

parks.)

・ Seventy-five percent of products manufactured in the industrial zone shall be exported. (The

remaining 25% can be sold domestically.)

The current development plan drawn up by SKIL Infrastructure Ltd (“SKIL”)10

, the developer of

NMSEZ, conforms with the abovementioned conditions, as provided in Table 2.2.1. The four nodes

are estimated to collectively use a total of 700MW.

According to this development plan, Dronagiri is the only node that is to earmark area for

non-industrial purposes and develop a residential area. The other nodes will have only an industrial

29

area under the current plan. Also, while a wide diversity of industries is proposed for Dronagiri, a

limited number of industries are envisaged for the other three nodes with relatively vast land

coverage and estimated electric power demand. At present, SKIL prioritizes the development of each

node in the order provided below:

・Highest priority:②Ulwe (Airport), ④Dronoagiri

・Third priority: ③Kalamboli

・Fourth priority:①Ulwe (Waterfront)

Furthermore, SKIL, the developer of the area, has yet to ask each node to formulate project plans

and is still at the stage of requesting the submission of their concept of development and the final

vision of the envisaged smart city. SKIL seeks to set up low-carbon and state-of-the-art smart cities.

2.2 NMSEZ development proposals

Based on the results of surveys performed on the Neemrana industrial area and NMSEZ, we will

make detailed proposals for the development concept and future vision, with due consideration of

the environment surrounding the development area. In addition, By this proposal, the image carried

out the radical review of the concept in spite of being a relief pitcher now in the future when SKIL

thought.

2.2.1 Formulating the development concept

Before formulating the Navi Mumbai development concept, we first reviewed the future vision of

Navi Mumbai that should be pursued. Ensuring a stable electric power supply is the most critical

issue for Japanese companies to expand and continue business operations in India. Although

blackout frequency has been reduced in recent years, risk of frequent unplanned power outage will

affect corporate business plans, and thus makes it difficult for Japanese companies to make the

decision to expand to India. Therefore, it is essential for each development area to have a robust

electric power supply that will enable uninterrupted business operations.

However, just ensuring stable power supply is not enough to encourage businesses to expand their

operations to India. The next challenge is providing the most inexpensive electric power possible.

The conventional system of having each user individually manage their power supply would involve

great cost burdens including maintenance expenditures, and thus would not lead to facilitating

business expansion. In order to eliminate cost burden, the development area is in need of an

intra-regional energy management system that covers the entire energy supply.

Furthermore, equipment and facilities with relatively low energy efficiency levels are widely used

in India due to their inexpensiveness. For example, exhaust gas-induced air pollution has become a

serious issue in recent years with the substantial increase of automobiles. If such energy use

practices are continued in the the development area addressed, then it will be a long road to

achieving a low-carbon state-of-the-art smart city. It is therefore important that development areas

assume the role and function of communicating to the local community the need to change their

environmental awareness by introducing various measures that will lead to decarbonization in the

development area and thus presenting the ideal image of a smart city.

With this in mind, we propose three development goals for smart cities in Navi Mumbai:

1) A power outage-resistant Resilient City supporting business continuity

2) A Smart Energy City wisely harnessing local energy

3) A low-carbon Environment-friendly Smart City representing India

We also considered the actions that should be taken for the achievement of these goals. The first

Page 34: on the Smart City Development Project in Navi Mumbai, India

31

requirement in stabilizing electric power supply is improving the power infrastructure. Even in

Neemrana, we found vulnerable points in the infrastructure that would lead to blackout risk when

compared with Japanese standards. Blackout risk should be eliminated to the largest extent possible

when developing infrastructure in Navi Mumbai.

Then, in order to achieve substantially lower carbon levels in the electric power infrastructure

with reduced risk of power outage, energy-saving facilities must be installed in throughout the

development area. However, by depending entirely on the introduction of energy-efficiency facilities

energy savings can only be determined by the performance of each facility, leaving no room for

further energy savings through operational efforts. Therefore, it would also be necessary to

incorporate energy sources that are not reliant on grid power. These include energy-creation facilities

such as PV power generation systems and energy storage solutions such as fuel cells, which are

equally important as energy-saving technologies.

These actions would be enough to create a smart city, but not enough to set an example for the rest

of India that state-of-the-art smart city services are offered, with only the electric power supply

system to present. Therefore, we propose harnessing the information and communication lines

installed with the electric power infrastructure to provide various IOT*1

services to the development

area. This would not only visualize smart city technologies for people on the outside but also allow

companies and residents inside the area to enjoy the benefits of a smart city. Hence the provision of

IOT services would be another necessary action to take.

Based on the above, we propose three actions for the establishment of an ideal smart city in Navi

Mumbai:

1) Full development of an intra-zonal grid

2) Intensive introduction of energy-saving, energy creation and energy storage technologies

3) Development of IOT solutions

A conceptual illustration of the development concept is provided in Figure 2.2.1. The succeeding

subsections will introduce our proposals in relation to the three actions in more detail.

and optimally control without human operation or input.

Page 35: on the Smart City Development Project in Navi Mumbai, India

32

Figure 2.2.1 Smart city concept proposed for Navi Mumbai

(1) Proposal for an intra-zonal grid

The following three points are proposed for an intra-zonal grid:

The electric power system for factories should use special high-voltage transmission lines

(22kV).

In order to minimize the duration and area coverage of power outages, factories should be tied

to two lines and other users should have an automated distribution system.

During power grid outages, electric power is supplied employing only renewable energy and

storage batteries.

The electric power system in areas surrounding Navi Mumbai are either 11kV or 22kV. Therefore,

given the need to avoid power outage risk at factories, it would be preferable to install a dedicated

circuit using 22kV lines. Furthermore, if higher power quality is to be pursued, the following

technological elements are also recommended:

・Two-way flow of electric power

・Ensuring sufficient ground clearance

・Replacing power lines with cables

・Installing underground cable protection

When supplying electric power from a standard 11kV system to non-factory users, an automated

distribution system could be another a technological element to consider introducing.

Electric power would normally be supplied using solar power in the development area, but when

total demand cannot be met, power is supplied from the grid. As renewable energy fluctuates

depending on weather conditions, storage batteries will be installed in the area. However, in the

event the area is completely cut off the grid due to power outage, the power supply system will be

switched to a micro-grid harnessing only solar power and storage batteries. Since this will reduce the

Page 36: on the Smart City Development Project in Navi Mumbai, India

33

total electric power supply, less power will be available to users, but with notification. Meticulous

service can be ensured by providing tools that will dispatch demand response (DR) and offer

appropriate information, including notification of estimated power consumption and scheduled

power outages.

Figure 2.2.2 Conceptual illustration of electric power supply system harnessing renewable energy

and storage batteries

(2) Proposals for the introduction of energy saving, energy creation and energy storage technologies

The following two proposals are made for the introduction of energy saving, energy creation and

energy storage technologies

Establish a “low-carbon foundation” through the intensive introduction of energy-saving,

energy creation, and energy storage technologies

Further promote decarbonization and ensure a stable electric power supply by conducting

Integrated management and control of all energy-saving, energy creation and energy storage

equipment by harnessing ICT*2

/M2M*3

.

Achieving low carbon levels would be based on introducing energy-saving, energy creation and

energy storage facilities, and progress would depend on the scale of introduction. Also, in order to

encourage further decarbonization, it is important not only to install such facilities, but also to

harness ICT and link various information for integrated intra-regional energy management and

control.

2 acronym for Information and Communication Technology

3 acronym for Machine to Machine, which is the concept of machines mutually exchanging information through a

telecommunication network and autonomously performing sophisticated control and operations

Integrated management will not only promote decarbonization, but also enable the efficient and

Page 37: on the Smart City Development Project in Navi Mumbai, India

34

streamlined intra-regional control of energy, and thus contribute to stabilizing electric power supply.

Details are provided in Figure 2.2.3.

Figure 2.2.3 Technological components to be introduced in Navi Mumbai

As presented in the figure, technological components will be installed in three steps, namely,

introduction, monitoring and operation. This will enable further decarbonization and stabilization of

the electric power supply compared to implementing only measures to install facilities. Furthermore,

by expanding integrated management beyond the electric power system to heat energy, water supply

and sewerage, and transportation, larger citywide effects can be expected.

However, it is difficult to introduce energy-saving, energy creation and energy storage

technologies on a large scale simultaneously. Therefore, with a view to the scale of companies

expanding business operations into the area, a project plan should be formulated, starting with the

introduction, monitoring and operation of small facilities, the PDCA (Plan-Do-Check-Action)

cycle should be pursued, gradually upscaling the development area.

Page 38: on the Smart City Development Project in Navi Mumbai, India

35

(3) Proposal for IOT development

The following three proposals are made for IOT development:

Utilize the intra-regional ICT network and establish an “information platform” that connects

diverse information.

Harness ICT to improve the quality, quantity and speed of operations.

In the future, utilize the accumulated Big Data*4

to provide various new services.

The implementation of an energy management system will involve setting up a web of

information communication networks throughout the development area. Furthermore, by harnessing

ICT and M2M, various equipment within the development area can be connected and a diversity of

data, including the status of use, can be compiled. The compiled data can be used to achieve higher

efficiency levels in the area. An “information platform” will be set up in the area for the integrated

management of local data.

Furthermore, considering the potential growth of the Indian economy and increase in exports to

the Middle East and Africa, it is important that business operations are switched to ICT-oriented

operations from the outset. By harnessing ICT and improving the quality, quantity and speed of

operation, thereby establishing a system that takes full advantage of business opportunities, then the

development area will become attractive for reasons not limited to stable electric supply.

Moreover, more can be done than just using the local data compiled only for energy management

and operations in order to create a sufficiently attractive smart city. Therefore, analysis of the Big

Data acquired locally and the information communication network can be utilized in fields other than

supplying electric power to provide various services to people living and working in the

development area. This will help develop the development area into one of the most advanced smart

cities in India.

The provision of new services may include not only selling data to service providers but also

collaborating with marketing companies that analyze Big Data and providing solutions as local

services. Figure 2.2.4 exhibits examples of potential IOT services in the development area.

As the figure implies, by linking various data, the diversity of potential services will be unlimited.

Therefore, it is important that SKIL provide the IOT services that it seeks to provide. Also, as stated

in our proposals for the introduction of energy-saving, energy creation and energy storage

technologies, it is advised that SKIL start with smart logistics, for example, and gradually expand its

local services to smart transport and smart mail order. A project plan should be formulated for the

development of IOT services as well.

2.2.2 Specific proposals with consideration of the surroundings of the development

area

(1) Concept for developing a smart city in Navi Mumbai

Based on the basic concept of establishing a smart city envisaged above, we propose the following

for developing smart cities in Navi Mumbai (c.f. Figure 2.2.5).

Have users install environment-friendly“LED lights” and “energy-saving equipment” on a

citywide level..

Vehicles travelling into the area should be“next-generation vehicles (EVs)”that can also be

used for power storage.

Install“photovoltaic power generation systems” in a wide area, in the forms of mega-solar,

rooftops and street lights.

Connect all off-grid power plants individually owned by users to a local “storage battery”.

Establish data center-oriented “ICT infrastructure” for the development of energy

management and IOT.

The three major components of a smart city are provided below:

The first component is an energy management system that connects local users, renewable energy

(mostly solar power) and storage batteries. To be more specific, in the case of factories and

commercial establishments, in order to reduce the cost burden shouldered by each user, a

cloud-based energy management system that uses software managed at the data center would be

Page 40: on the Smart City Development Project in Navi Mumbai, India

37

provided instead of a energy management system directly fitted to each facility – for example,

BEMS*5

for buildings and FEMS*6

for factories. HEMS*7

would be introduced in households to

control the hours the household appliances and equipment should be used as well as temperature

settings in accordance with the local supply-demand status.

The data center would not only be the provider of the local energy management system but would

also serve the role of the databank in which local data is compiled. Also, the energy management

system would pursue the efficient use of energy by using not only electric power but also heat energy.

In more specific terms, the system would harness not only waste heat generated in factories but also

the heat produced by incinerating industrial waste and household waste generated in the smart city.

This would not be done solely for the purpose of producing heat energy but also with the intention of

communicating that the development area is an environment-friendly smart city that treats local

waste locally. This would present the environmental advantages of smart city and set out a model for

the rest of India.

7 acronym for Home Energy Management System. EMS for households.

Page 41: on the Smart City Development Project in Navi Mumbai, India

38

The second component involves efforts in the transportation sector. As proposed in relation to the

introduction of energy-saving, energy creation and energy storage technologies, EVs that do not emit

CO2 will be promoted in the transportation sector. EVs will be adopted not only for personal use but

for various vehicles, including buses, trucks, taxis, rental cars, and motorcycles. A shortcoming of

EV technology today is that EVs can only travel short distances compared to gasoline-powered

vehicles. However, EVs should be introduced in Navi Mumbai because they are suitable for

transporting people and goods short distances, and the area is situated close to the airport, the port

and the railway system.

Furthermore, EVs would be equipped with wireless terminals, such as car navigation, which can

be used for the integrated management of the status of utilization and for receiving instructions. This

technology would be useful for logistics management - for managing bus routes and dispatching

taxis. Recently, in India, the timely provision of traffic congestion information is giving drivers

access to appropriate driving instructions.

Moreover, EVs are equipped with fuel cells, which can also be considered energy sources. As

aforementioned, in case of a grid power outage, the area would rely solely on renewable energy –

mainly solar power – and storage batteries, and therefore, the power supply would be reduced. The

development area would utilize EVs to complement the emergency energy supply. EVs are an

essential component of Navi Mumbai’s smart city concept as they would bear an important role as a

backup system for the local power supply.

The third component is developing IOT services. As aforementioned, various services can be

locally provided by harnessing the data compiled at the data enter and the local information

communication network. Services may be provided outside of the development area as well as

within the area.

It is important that a grand design is formulated on how these components will be included in the

outset of development. The following subsections will discuss which components should be

incorporated in the development area.

(2) A study of target industries to attract to the development area

The success of the development area lies not only in the which domestic industries it embraces but

also in how it can attract overseas investment, including that from Japan. The status of Japanese

companies expanding business operations overseas is provided in Figure 2.6.6.

Page 42: on the Smart City Development Project in Navi Mumbai, India

39

Figure 2.2.6 Status of Japanese companies with overseas business operations

Currently, approximately 40 percent of companies expanding business overseas represent the

manufacturing industry and the remaining 60 percent are non-manufacturing companies.

Manufacturing industries seeking business expansion overseas include the “ transportation

machinery”, “electronic and communications machinery” and “chemical” industries, in order of

share. Other industries expanding to overseas locations include the “production machinery”, “metal

products”, “food”, and “textiles” industries. While "wholesale" companies represent the majority of

non-manufacturing industries, “transportation” and “information and telecommunications”

companies are also increasing overseas operations.

Furthermore, in recent years, a large number of Japanese companies have been expanding to Asian

regions, while few companies are moving out to India, the Middle East and Africa. However, given

its domestic economic growth and its importance as a hub for exports to the Middle East and Africa,

India is potentially an attractive destination for Japanese companies seeking to expand abroad.

Figure 2.2.7 Distribution of Japanese companies with overseas business operations

Page 43: on the Smart City Development Project in Navi Mumbai, India

40

In order to establish a manufacturing hub in India, it is important that development schemes are

drawn up with careful consideration of target industries, including the destinations to which products

will be supplied, as well as the economic situation of such destinations. Target industries have been

identified in Table 2.2.2, with regard to potential demand in India, the Middle East and Africa.

Table 2.2.2 Target industries in light of future demand in India, the Middle East and Africa

Important aspects of future

・Medical equipment

Based on the target industries studied above, smart city proposals are made for each node of Navi

Mumbai in following subsection.

(3) Node-specific proposals for developing a smart city

(a) Proposal for Ulwe (Waterfront) node

Ulwe (Waterfront) is, as shown in Figure 2.2.1, is situated in the northeastern part of Navi

Mumbai, facing the Mumbai Bay. The surrounding environment and current status of the node are

provided in Figures 2.2.8 and 2.2.9.

The features of Ulwe (Waterfront) are provided below:

Located close to coast. (Ensured access to a sewage system.; has a command of Mumbai

Bay.)

Residential cluster to be built nearby; passenger railway network to be constructed.

Page 44: on the Smart City Development Project in Navi Mumbai, India

41

(Optimal location for commuting and attracting customers.)

Easy access to highway, airport and port. (Ensured access to the highway, airport and port.)

Road bridge (MTHL) to connect Navi Mumbai with Mumbai; freight railway network also

to be constructed.

Ulwe (Waterfront) is the most advanced of the fours nodes of NMSEZ and should therefore be the

easiest to develop.

Figure.2.2.8 Area surrounding Ulwe (Waterfront)

Figure.2.2.9 Current view of Ulwe (Waterfront)

Based on the above, the following two proposals are made for Ulwe (Waterfront) node.

・ Lay an emphasis on commerce-oriented industries and facilities

・ Design the node as a smart city showroom

Details of our proposals are elaborated below:

Page 45: on the Smart City Development Project in Navi Mumbai, India

42

1) Emphasis on commerce-oriented industries and facilities

Industrial

establishments

Electronic appliances (air conditioners, TVs, refrigerators); processed food,

textiles (apparel); jewelry studios

Commercial

establishments Large-scale commercial complexes

Others

Sports complex (ballpark, gymnasium, heated pool, running and cycling

course)

Knowledge capital (culture and education, library, administrative offices)

Given its good command of Mumbai Bay and its optimal location for attracting customers, Ulwe

(Waterfront) should have a large-scale commercial complex. While the majority of products

manufactured in the area would be exported overseas, an industrial area limited to industrial

establishments that can provide goods to the commercial complex would be constructed adjacent to

the commercial area. Industries represented in the industrial area would include household

appliances yet with low diffusion levels in India – especially air conditioners, TVs and refrigerators

– and food and clothing-related industries, including processed food and textiles (apparel), as well as

jewelry manufacturing, a local craft.

Furthermore, since the area not only has industrial and commercial establishments but is located

adjacent to a dense residential area, it would be able to attract more customers, who will enjoy the

benefits offered by a smart city, such as a sports complex and knowledge capital*8

. For example, ICT

can be harnessed to achieve “smart information-oriented societies” where residents are offered

ICT-based management of exercise and meal records in smart healthcare, ICT-based management of

learning progress and achievement levels in smart education, or electronic administrative services in

smart administration.

2) A smart city showroom

Feature 1 Introduction of various renewable energy and energy-saving facilities (PV power generation + small-scale wind power, waste power generation, waste heat utilization)

Feature 2 Knowledge capital includes “the Smart City Promotion Center and tour”

where visitors can learn about smart technologies.

Feature 3 Wide use of next-generation vehicles (EVs).

8 A knowledge-building hub for the creation new values through culture, education and exchange.

Page 46: on the Smart City Development Project in Navi Mumbai, India

43

The efforts proposed by the first twenty cities selected under the Smart Cities Mission include

many components that will serve the purpose of improving infrastructure and living standards. If

NMSEZ can successfully present itself as a model smart city offering state-of-the-art solutions, then

it will be able to attract businesses to the area.

First, Ulwe (Waterfront) will incorporate various renewable energy and energy-saving facilities in

addition to PV power and seek to become a working showroom. Showcasing renewable energy

would, in particular, involve setting up small wind power stations, as it is located close to the coast,

and biomass or biogas power generation facilities at commercial establishments utilizing the waste

generated on-site. Also, waste heat from the industrial area would be supplied as heat energy to the

adjacent commercial establishment and heated pool. In this manner, the technological components

required in a smart city would be installed into the area as a package of solutions.

Second, knowledge capital would be employed to introduce smart solutions. The knowledge

capital would exhibit smart technologies and products, introduce local efforts and offer tours to see

actual equipment, thus facilitating understanding of smart technologies and products and their

diffusion. In addition, on this understanding and spread promotion activity, we can use it as the

teaching materials of the energy environmental education in things utilizing widely such as not only

the thing for the government, a group, the company but also citizen or school education from the

childhood period.

Third, as a model smart city, the area would employ only next-generation vehicles (EVs).

In this manner, Ulwe (Waterfront) would be developed as a city showcasing smart city

components.

A conceptual illustration of the node is provided as Figure 2.2.10.

Figure 2.2.10 Conceptural illustration of Ulwe (Waterfront) smart city

Page 47: on the Smart City Development Project in Navi Mumbai, India

44

(b) Proposal for Ulwe (Airport) node

Ulwe (Airport) node is, as shown in Figure 2.2.1, located adjacent to the new airport to be

constructed in the northern part of Navi Mumbai. The surrounding environment and current status of

the node are provided in Figures 2.2.11and 2.2.12.

The features of Ulwe (Airport) are provided below:

・ Located adjacent to the airport. (Ensured access to air shipping routes.)

・ Close to extensive road and railway systems. (Ensured access to overland shipping routes.)

・ Easy access to the freight port by means of road or rail transport. (Ensured access to sea

shipping routes.)

・ A road bridge, the Mumbai Trans Harbour Link (MTHL), will connect Navi Mumbai with

Mumbai. (Activated movement of people and goods.)

At the timing of our visit, gutter construction had begun at the new airport site, but the area to be

developed as a smart city was untouched. The node embraces a large area of wetland, and thus initial

construction work would include land improvement.

Figure 2.2.11 Area surrounding Ulwe (Airport)

Page 48: on the Smart City Development Project in Navi Mumbai, India

45

Figure .2.2.12 Current view of Ulwe (Airport)

Based on the above, the following two proposals are made for Ulwe (Airport) node:

Emphasis should be laid on airport-oriented industries and services.

The node should be developed as an environment-friendly city with the wide use of

next-generation vehicles.

Details of our proposals are elaborated below:

1) Emphasis on airport-oriented industries and services

Small /

lightweight

industries

Textiles (apparel), leather products (bags, shoes), household supplies,

houseware, stationery, printing industry (books, magazines)

Logistics /

product sales

Distribution warehouse for air cargo, logistics hub for Internet sales

This node also embraces Mumbai’s leading large-scale wholesale hub for

household supplies.

Travel industry Hotel, shopping center, observation park

Because the node is adjacent to the airport, it should be focused on industries and services that can

take advantage of the proximity.

First, industries should be selected based on whether they manufacture small and lightweight

products that can be shipped by air. More specifically, apparel, houseware and household goods

Page 49: on the Smart City Development Project in Navi Mumbai, India

46

would be the leading products. Given promises of an increasing number of students pursuing higher

education and a higher literacy rate accompanying economic growth, stationery, books, magazines

and newspapers may also be effective choices. These industries would not have to limit shipping to

domestic and overseas markets but also provide their products to airport shops and local commercial

establishments.

Second, a logistics hub should be established for air cargo. Although Mumbai already has an

international airport, if the industrial areas in NMSEZ can be enhanced, the new airport would have

an increasing number of incoming and outgoing cargo, which would be advantageous in terms of

airport management as well. Furthermore, once the flow of goods has been established, a logistic

hub for Internet sales and a major wholesale center can also be built in addition to shipping services,

thus expanding business opportunities outwards from the node and leading to the ceaseless

development of the adjacent industrial area.

Third, with a focus on the accelerated flow of people resulting from the construction of a new

airport, schemes should be devised to invite airport users into the node. The travel industry would be

a good target industry, and hotels would be built for travelers. Furthermore, by creatively utilizing

the shopping center and airport facilities, such as observation parks, as recreational facilities,

locally-oriented land development would be possible.

The technological smart city components to be introduced to Ulwe (Airport) node are, as

aforementioned, renewable energy – mainly solar power – and storage batteries, and energy

management systems tailored to the needs of each user.

2) Environment-friendly city with the wide use of next-generation vehicles

Large vehicles EV trucks for cargo transportation

EV buses connecting major location, including the airport and train stations

Small and medium-sized

vehicles

EV taxis

EV rental cars (to be used for car-sharing in the future)

Given the emphasis on airport-oriented industries and services, next-generation vehicles (EVs)

would be adopted for all transport machinery carrying both people and goods to destinations within

the node. This would not only serve the purpose of lowering carbon emissions from the

transportation sector, but also increasing the acknowledgement that the node is an

environmentally-friendly city, and thus contribute to the establishment of a leading smart city in

India.

A conceptual illustration of the Ulwe (airport) node is provided below:

Page 50: on the Smart City Development Project in Navi Mumbai, India

47

Figure 2.2.13 Conceptual illustration of Ulwe (Airport) smart city

(c) Proposals for Kalamboli

Kalamboli node is, as shown in Figure 2.2.1, located in the northeastern part of Navi Mumbai,

along the highway connecting Sion and Panvel. The surrounding environment and current status of

the node are provided in Figures 2.2.14 and 2.2.15.

The features of Kalamboli node are provided below:

Adjacent to another industrial complex (MIDC TALOJA *1). (Ensured access to air shipping

routes)

Several residential areas (Kharghar, Belapur, Panvel, etc.) are located close by. (Ensured

access to a labor market)

Road and railway networks to be enhanced. (Ensured access to road shipping routes;

improved commuting environment)

Easy access to airport, port and road bridge (MTHL: Mumbai Trans Harbour Link)

connecting Navi Mumbai and Mumbai. (Activated flow of people and goods.)

(Note) MIDC TALOJA

・An industrial area developed by the Maharashtra Industrial Development Corporation

・Currently embraces industries such as iron and steel (including for drinking purposes), plastics, paints, printers,

pharmaceutical R&D center, textiles, etc.

Page 51: on the Smart City Development Project in Navi Mumbai, India

48

Figure 2.2.14 Area surrounding Kalamboli

Figure 2.2.15 Current view of Kalamboli

Based on the above, the following two proposals are made for Kalamboli node:

・ Lay an emphasis on highly specialized industries which differentiate the area from the

adjacent industrial complex.

・ Design a city focused on highly specialized fields (with public services for local residents).

Details of our proposals are elaborated below:

1) Emphasis on highly specialized industries which differentiate the area from the adjacent

industrial complex

Precision

machinery

PC and mobile-related devices, ICT equipment, optical equipment, precision

machinery manufacturing, medical equipment

Page 52: on the Smart City Development Project in Navi Mumbai, India

49

Chemical

industry Pharmaceuticals manufacturing

The most important weak point of Kalamboli node is that it is located next to another industrial

area. When there are two industrial areas in the same region, they tend to compete against each other

to attract more businesses and consequently have low occupancy rates. Therefore, it is important that

the node is developed in a manner that differentiates it from its established neighbor to the extent

possible. The industries that have set up industrial units in TALOJA are still diversified; and

therefore, the leading industries of Kalamboli node should be determined and relevant companies

should be encouraged to expand into the node before feature industries are decided in TAJOLA. Or it

is one idea to differentiate between both industrial areas cause of the constant condition. The

industries proposed have been selected based on the list of target industries compiled for this report

and from the viewpoint that Kalamboli is the most suitable location of the four nodes of NMSEZ for

a data center.

First, Kalamboli node should specialize in precision machinery manufacturing. This includes

computer and mobile-related devices, ICT equipment, and optical equipment. Medical equipment

manufacturers, which call for more expertise are also incorporated into the node.

Second, in relation with medical industries, pharmaceuticals manufacturing should be included for

a level of specialization unequaled.

The technological smart city components to be introduced to the Ulwe (Airport) node are, as

aforementioned, renewable energy – mainly solar power – and storage batteries, and energy

management systems tailored to the needs of each user.

2) A city focused on highly specialized fields (with public services for local residents).

IT IT software design and development

Data center (cloud-based EMS, databanks)

Healthcare General hospital, highly advanced healthcare, pharmaceutical development

Others

Large-scale commercial establishment

EV buses connecting major locations (stations, airport, commuting)

Wide use of next-generation vehicles (EV trucks)

Page 53: on the Smart City Development Project in Navi Mumbai, India

50

As highly specialized industries have been selected, relevant facilities should be constructed.

More specifically, as precision machinery factories operate adjacent to the node, IT-related industries

should be chosen and a data center should be built in the node. Furthermore, given the clustering of

medical equipment and pharmaceutical manufacturing factories, general hospitals should be built

and highly advanced healthcare should be provided, thus formulating an integrated healthcare area

that offers a range of services starting with pharmaceutical development to public services for local

residents.

As many residential areas are scattered around the node and transportation infrastructure has

already been installed, a loop bus service would be offered in addition to a large-scale commercial

establishment, as a means of commuting for people working in the node or as a means of transport to

major locations. As in other areas, next-generation vehicles (EVs) would be adopted for use within

the node, as a part of the node’s smart city strategy.

A conceptual illustration of Kalamboli node is provided in Figure 2.2.16.

Figure 2.2.16 Conceptual illustration of Kalamboli smart city

(d) A proposal for Dronagiri

The Dronagiri node is situated alongside the Mumbai Bay, in the southeastern part of Navi

Mumbai. The surrounding environment and current status of the node are provided in Figures 2.2.17

and 2.2.18.

The features of Dronagiri are provided below:

Vast area covering over 1,000ha. (Largest in tNMSEZ).

Coastal area surrounded by the ocean, rivers and reservoirs. (Ensured access to an industrial

sewage system.)

Page 54: on the Smart City Development Project in Navi Mumbai, India

51

Adjacent to a freight port. (Ensured access to sea shipping routes; good location for an export

hub.)

Road and railway networks to be enhanced. (Ensured access to road shipping routes.)

Located close to the airport and the road bridge Mumbai Trans Harbour Link (MTHL)

connecting Navi Mumbai and Mumbai. (Ensured access to air shipping routes, activated

movement of people and goods)

We found Dronagiri to the most suitable of the four nodes of NMSEZ as an industrial area, but it

was yet to be developed at the time of our visit. Therefore, construction work should begin with

clearing the land.

Figure .2.2.17 Area surrounding Dronagiri

Figure 2.2.18 Current view of Dronagiri

Page 55: on the Smart City Development Project in Navi Mumbai, India

52

Based on the above the following two proposals are made for Dronagiri node:

・Lay an emphasis on bulky and heavy manufacturing industries dependent on sea transport.

・Design an environment-friendly town utilizing industrial waste.

Details of our proposals are elaborated below:

1) Emphasis on bulky and heavy manufacturing industries dependent on sea transport

Heavy chemical

industries

Iron and steel, metal products (sash and construction material), chemical

industries (pharmaceuticals, plastic products)

Transportation

machinery

Motorcycles, four-wheel vehicles (assembly, parts, rubber products),

construction machinery, agricultural machinery

Electric

machinery

Manufacturing hub for renewable energy-related equipment (solar panels,

wind power, PCS, storage batteries, etc.), general machinery (pumps,

elevators)

Logistics Logistics warehouse hub

Other Pulp and paper, textiles, furniture manufacturing

Dronagiri node has cheaper access to the surface shipping of goods compared to inland nodes and

is capable of providing goods promptly.

With this in mind, we selected industries that manufacture relatively large and bulky products.

Sashes used in constructing buildings and infrastructure, metal products including construction

material, automobiles and construction machinery and renewable energy-related equipment could be

leading industries. Also in relation to these industries, general equipment, such as pumps and

elevators that would be used in housing complexes and commercial establishments, and chemical

products used in painting may be included. Furthermore, because India has a robust agricultural

policy, we envisage that demand for automated agricultural machinery will increase in the future,

and thus these industries are also included. The vast area will allow the incorporation of other

various industries.

The technological smart city components to be introduced to Dronagiri node are basically, as in

other nodes, renewable energy – mainly solar power – and storage batteries, and energy management

systems tailored to the needs of each user.

Page 56: on the Smart City Development Project in Navi Mumbai, India

53

2) Environment-friendly town utilizing industrial waste

Feature 1 Local treatment of industrial waste (containment within the node)

Feature 2 Interchange of waste heat generated in manufacturing processes and industrial

waste incineration

Feature 3 Wide use of next-generation vehicles (EVs)

The inclusion of various industries including manufacturers of large and bulky products would

increase the amount of industrial waste generated in the manufacturing industry, in comparison with

other nodes. Incinerating local industrial waste outside of the node would tarnish the public image of

the node as a smart city. Furthermore, located away from the center of Navi Mumbai and covering a

vast area, Dronagiri would be the optimal place to set up a scheme for the local treatment of local

industrial waste. Unlike other nodes, a waste incinerator would be constructed, thus uplifting

Dronagiri’s reputation as an environment-friendly city.

The waste incinerator would not be used only to burn industrial waste but also to supply waste

heat to be used as energy in the node. The efficient use of energy will lead to decarbonization.

Furthermore, if the large amounts of waste heat that are generated at manufacturers of large and

bulky products could be reused locally, then higher effects can be expected.

As in other nodes, next-generation vehicles (EVs) would be adopted for local use, as a part of the

smart city scheme.

A conceptual illustration of Dronagiri is node is provided in Figure 2.2.19.

Page 57: on the Smart City Development Project in Navi Mumbai, India

54

Figure 2.2.19 Conceptual illustration of Dronagiri smart city

The proposals made herein are in line with the development goal of creating a state-of-the-art

smart city in India, but at the same time they exhibit a finalized picture that has been designed to the

highest standard. Therefore, we believe that the following steps should be taken in order to

implement a feasible project plan.

(STEP1) Discuss which level the developer seeks to achieve

(STEP2) Discuss further details of what the developer seeks to achieve

(utilizing companies from various sectors as required)

(STEP3) Based on the contents determined, formulate a phased development plan for each node

(STEP4) Conduct a feasibility study for each development phase

The developer’s priorities of development have been provided in 2(1). However, as a result of

visiting the sites, we believe that the the following sequence might be more preferable at present.

That is, beginning with Ulwe (Waterfront), where the construction work should not be too difficult,

in order to gain experience of building a smart city. Then, Ulwe (Airport) should be developed in an

attempt to be in time for the opening of the airport. Drawing upon these experiences, Dronagiri, the

NMSEZ node that is most suitable for a industrial area, followed by Kalamboli should be developed.

Until Kalamboli is completed, the data center would be tentatively set up elsewhere and moved to

Kalamboli upon its completion.

Finally, each node will be in the spotlight, attracting even more attention from both overseas and

India, when the road bridge connecting NMSEZ to Mumbai is completed and the Navi Mumbai

economic region extends over a vast area. Therefore, in order to effectively use the vast development

area, balance between“economic growth”and“environmental-friendliness”should be sought from

Page 58: on the Smart City Development Project in Navi Mumbai, India

55

the outset. The key to the successful development of a smart city lies in introducing“energy-saving”,

“energy creation”and“energy storage” technologies as core technologies and“harnessing ICT”. The

proposed smart city will support “building a town where the industrial area, commercial area and

residential area co-exist” and pursuing a “rich local life and economic activities,” both

unprecedented in Navi Mumbai.

3.Study on Financing for Industrialization

3.1 Sources of Funding for Smart Cities in India

In 2015, the Government of India announced 98 cities as the targets for the smart city

development project. It is reported that the government has sanctioned a budget of 480 billion rupees

for the 100 target smart cities for a period of five years upon reviewing the development plan of each

city, where each city would get 1 billion rupees every year for five years. Navi Mumbai in

Maharashtra State is covered under the Delhi Mumbai Industrial Corridor (DMIC) project agreed on

between the Government of Japan and the Government of India in 2006. In it, the development of

infrastructure such as industrial parks, freight centers, roads, ports, commercial and residential

facilities will be promoted. JICA has signed a loan contract with the Government of India providing

a maximum of 183.079 billion Japanese yen for the major projects which include Multi-modal High

Axle Load Dedicated Freight Corridor (DFC), Chennai Metro Project, and West Bengal Water

Supply Development Project. In line with the DFC project, various other projects have been started

jointly by Japan and India and they include a logistics infrastructure project that combines FTWZ

(Free Trade & Warehouse Zone) and rail transport in Maharashtra by Sojitz from the Japan side and

a convention center project in Navi Mumbai in addition to the development of industrial parks

(Shendra-Bidkin district, Super-Nevasa-Dabura Puri District) and logistics from the Indian side.

If sales revenue can be expected by utilizing private sector capital in fund-raising for initial

investment of such urban development, then many cases utilizing a public–private partnership (PPP)

scheme will be seen. For example, development and operation of expressways and ports can

generate sales revenue but there are long-term risks. The sales revenue from water or power supply

is low and hence there tends to be a dependency on ODA etc. In the case of DMIC, the Project

Development Fund is a part of DMIC Development Corporation Limited, and for each individual

infrastructure development case, the State Governments have adopted a scheme to set up a Special

Purpose Vehicle (SPV), create a package of a feasibility study, approvals & licenses and land, and

sell SPV to private enterprises through bidding. In Maharashtra, Maharashtra Industrial

Development Corporation (MIDC) bears the responsibility. In December 2009, JBIC signed a loan

agreement with India Infrastructure Finance Company Limited (IIFCL) providing maximum of 75

million U.S. dollars as a project development fund for the promotion of a DMIC project. It is

Page 59: on the Smart City Development Project in Navi Mumbai, India

56

assumed that it will be mainly utilized in Japan-related projects, but its scope of application in

India’s pubic bidding system is not clear. In view of such development plans, we will study the

financing for industrialization of Navi Mumbai Smart Community.

3.2 Current Status of Commercialization of Smart Community Plan from

Financing Perspective

Towards the end of 2009, the smart city plan was incorporated as part of the DFC peripheral

development. JGC Corporation became the administrative agent for Shendra district in Maharashtra

in 2011. It is conducting a feasibility study through a consortium of Mitsubishi Corporation, Ebara

Engineering, IBM Japan and Nikken Sekkei Limited along with the Yokohama City. In addition, the

consortium of Japanese-affiliated companies is also conducting surveys on many smart cities. These

plans mainly include elements such as establishment of an energy network by IT control, smart

transportation and logistics infrastructure, and a smart grid that uses renewable energy or storage

batteries. Even in Japan, there are not many smart city projects at the demonstration stage and in

typical cases there is a single land owner and many energy consumers. Further, the Feed-in Tariff

system for renewable energy is essential and it is necessary to set up incentives in addition to the

efforts (power saving by load curve shaping, demand response etc.) from customers. In reality, it is

not simple to portray a revenue-increasing business model for a smart city, even though the Masdar

smart city in Abu Dhabi is successful, and it is difficult to recover the input cost corresponding to

added value without successful residential apartments and occupancy by corporate tenants.

Furthermore, this suggestion adapts to the requirements of the guidelines on smart city 100 city

design.

3.3 Renewable Energy and Energy Conservation Funding of the

Government of India

The Government of India has many funding policies relating to renewable energy and energy

conservation that will be effective at the time of implementing smart cities, and they serve as an

incentive that drives the funding for smart cities. There are incentives for urban development as well.

However, in this section, the measures and policies for renewable energy and energy conservation,

which is the target project of the credit system between India and Japan, are given below.

3.3.1 Funding Sources and Program in India

(1) Renewable-energy-related incentive scheme

As a policy to promote renewable energy, the Government of India started implementing the

Feed-in Tariff system (FIT) in 2009 and it has also announced various incentives or preferential

treatments such as initial cost assistance/subsidy, subsidy for profitability gap, loan rate benefits, tax

Page 60: on the Smart City Development Project in Navi Mumbai, India

57

benefits (exemption from customs duty, reduction/exemption of value-added tax, acceleration of

depreciation), and electricity sale assistance/purchase price subsidy.

Table 0.1 India’s Renewable Energy Assistance Measures

Industrial policy

i) Policies related to the new large-scale development by the Ministry of New and Renewable

Energy (MNRE): Various funding policies and promotion policies related to wind power

generation development, which accounts for 69% of the installed capacity in India, have been

established. Financial incentives, such as exemption from income tax on the power generation

revenue, have been included.

ii) Small-scale/ultra-small-scale hydro power generation project assistance: The MNRE is providing

financial assistance for starting a small-scale/ultra-small-scale hydro power generation project

in the public as well as private sectors.

iii) National Offshore Wind Energy Policy: It was approved in September 2015. Development of

financial incentives was suggested to promote foreign direct investment or public-private

partnership and international cooperation.

iv) State Electricity Regulatory Commission of Andhra Pradesh, Haryana, Punjab, Madhya Pradesh,

Maharashtra, Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu, Gujarat, Kerala, Orissa and West Bengal has announced

adoption of a preferential tax rate for purchase of electricity produced by wind power generation. An

order of preferential tariff for renewable energy in Maharashtra State is currently subject to

public comments and an order for roof-top or small-scale solar power generation was in 2015.

Provisions in 2014 federal budget

The excise duty imposed on forging steel rings used in manufacturing of bearings that are used

in wind power generator is reduced to zero from 12%.

plants is exempted and preferential import duty rate is cut down.

The tax is exempted for 10 years for the solar power generation projects.

Incentives given by the State Governments for power transmission, bank transactions, sale of

power to third-parties and power buy-backs etc.

Power buy-back by the state is made compulsory and the market is guaranteed.

For small-scale solar power generation projects connected to a power grid with a capacity of

less than 33KV, incentives are given based on the power generation capacity. The Government

of India has set up small-scale solar power generation projects connected to a power grid with a

capacity of less than 33KV.

The power transmission charges are kept low as compared to other conventional energy.

Special incentives for export from dedicated Special Economic Zone (SEZ) in the field of

renewable energy.

Subsidy system to deal with the default risks of state-run electricity, water and gas

services/power distribution corporations.

30% of the operating cost of solar power generation and solar thermal projects not connected to

power grid is subsidized.

Preferential loan interest rate is applied to power generation projects not using power

transmission lines.

Financial assistance for biomass generation projects

Accelerated depreciation: 80% application is granted for specific equipment during the first

year.

The income tax is exempted for 10 years.

During the period of project launch, a preferential tariff rate is applied to machinery or parts

and excise duty is exempted.

In specific states, sales tax is exempted.

The Indian Renewable Energy Development Agency (REDA) is providing financial assistance

for the biomass power generation and bagasse cogeneration start-up projects.

Financial assistance for small-scale hydro power generation projects

Preferential tariff.

Financial assistance by the Central Government to the State Governments or private sector that

install small-scale/ultra-small-scale hydro power generators.

Application of preferential tariff rate.

Tax exemption for 10 years.

To support or promote the investment in renewable energy, energy conservation and

environmental technologies in financial terms, the MNRE established the Indian Renewable Energy

Development Agency Ltd. (IREDA) in 1987. It is providing financial assistance for renewable

energy power generation and energy conservation projects including Energy Conservation Building

Code (ECBC). It is providing 70 to 80% of the financing required for projects in the target fields,

manufacturing and acquisition of equipment for 6 to 10 years at an interest rate of 9.75 to 12.75%.

The World Bank is also providing a credit line for energy conservation project assistance to IREDA.

Further, technical and financial assistance for strengthening the deployment of renewable energy

is incorporated in the aforementioned Renewable Energy Bill, and the National Renewable Energy

Fund (National RE Fund) has been set up for providing financial support to achieve the goals. On the

other hand, the State Governments may also establish State Green Funds at the state level and

promote financial assistance for renewable energy projects, or provide financial support for equity

investment, risk sharing and research & development*9. This bill is planned to be presented in 2016

Page 62: on the Smart City Development Project in Navi Mumbai, India

59

Parliament Session.

(2) Energy-conservation-related incentive scheme

It includes construction of the Energy Efficiency Financing Platform (EEFP) and Framework for

Energy Efficient Economic Development (FEEED). In EEFP, ESCO promotion, provision of

reasonable loan rates and capacity building of financial institutions will be implemented. Under

FEEED, establishment of venture capital funds and risk portion guarantee funds for energy

efficiency improvement projects will be considered.

In India, the Energy Conservation Act was implemented and Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE)

was founded in 2002 and full-fledged activities for energy conservation policies were started. This is

relatively earlier than other developing countries in Asia. In the National Mission for Enhanced

Energy Efficiency (NMEEE) that was developed as a part of NAPCC in 2008, Energy Saving

Certificates (ESCerts) Trading Scheme (PAT) and Energy Efficiency Financing Platform (System for

promotion and financing of ESCO business: EEFP) were set up. In addition, financial policies for

energy conservation such as a policy to promote switching to energy-saving equipment, incentive

setup, tax benefits etc. have been established. The Modi Government has developed a smart city

infrastructure project targeting 100 cities in India for rapid expansion of metropolitan areas in 2015

and allocated a budget of 980 billion rupees for the period of 5 years*110

.

Page 63: on the Smart City Development Project in Navi Mumbai, India

60

policies within the state based on BEE policy and “State Energy Fund” has been also set up.

(3) Infrastructure investment institutions

In India, there are many companies other than banks that deal with investments and loans

especially for infrastructure or power generation projects. They include the Indian Renewable

Energy Development Agency Limited (IREDA), PTC India Financial Services Limited (PFS),

Power Finance Corporation Limited (PFC), and India Infrastructure Finance Company Limited

(IIFCL).

IREDA is a non-banking organization that provides financing for renewable energy and energy

conservation projects and also provides joint financing with national financial institutions as well as

the World Bank or ADB. It also has a track record of accepting financial assistance from JICA and

KfW (Germany), NIB (Norway) and AFD (France). PFS has been providing special investments and

loans to the power generation sector and so far it has invested 50 billion rupees. It has also provided

financing to seven to eight supercritical coal-fired thermal power stations (total 13,000 MW) in the

past year in spite of the emphasis being put on renewable energy.

3.3.2 Overseas Funding Sources and Mechanism

(1) Sources of funding for smart cities from the World Bank, the Asian Development Bank etc.

The budget of 480 billion rupees (approximately 860 billion yen) sanctioned by the Government

of India for the period of 5 years from 2015 for a smart city development project is financed as a

loan from the World Bank and the Asian Development Bank from 2015 to 2020. The Ministry of

Finance is planning to further raise funds by approaching the New Development Bank BRICS, Asian

Infrastructure Investment Bank, KfW, GIZ (Germany), AFD etc.

These international financial institutions also provide technical assistance for creating a smart city

plan, and UK and USAID are also participating in this.

(2) Foreign banks

Foreign banks are also playing an active role in India and providing financial assistance to

infrastructure-related projects having strong demand for funds. Out of the 35 advanced banks, City

Bank, Standard Chartered Bank and HSBC are the three strongest players, and Bank of

Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ and Mizuho Corporate Bank from Japan have branches in India. While

European and US banks have limited finances due to the impact of Europe’s debt crisis in recent

years, Asian banks are picking up momentum.

Page 64: on the Smart City Development Project in Navi Mumbai, India

3.4 Financial issues related to smart cities in India

(1) Pursuit of low initial costs

Even though Japanese technology, which has high initial costs, has a high net present value for the

duration of project, it takes time to recover the investment. When the local businesses make a capital

investment, the financial institutions in India give extreme importance to limiting the initial costs

rather than considering the life cycle costs. Further, supported by the high economic growth in India,

higher priority is put on expanding production than on energy saving. As a result, the trend of

installing cheaper pieces of equipment, even though they consume a lot of energy, is more prevalent

than installing state-of-the-art equipment with high-efficiency. According to the officials of local

financial institutions, although they recognize the superiority of high-quality and high-efficiency

technology from Japan, it becomes difficult for them to consider it if the price does not fit within 20

to 25% of the cheapest price of the same technology offered by other countries.

(2) Importance of demonstration projects

It is said that in India, decisions on new technology are made based on the actual experience of

using the equipment concerned or based on the word-of-mouth communication rather than the data

obtained from experiments and research/surveys. Therefore, it is important to increase the sense of

security that Indian operators have towards Japanese technology by demonstrating technologies

suitable to Indian market via pilot projects at an early stage.

(3) Energy costs are being limited to low levels

Power prices in India have been kept low. The reason for a deterioration in the finances of power

division of India is because the power rate for agriculture and households is set intentionally low

when compared to the power rates for industrial usage, and the financial institutions are also

pessimistic about new investments. Further, as per the power purchase agreement with Indian power

distribution company, the fixed rates are determined separately up to 85% of actual availability

factor and for 1kWh in case of power generation above that, and the purchase price of the power

generated above 85% is extremely low. Therefore, there is no incentive for companies to generate

power by improving their power generation efficiency.

3.5 Fundraising methods for commercialization of Navi Mumbai smart

community project

In order to implement the smart city project, the project would be executed by dividing it into

multiple phases based on a master plan that determines the order of priority. Regarding the land, we

have been informed that SKIL Infrastructure Limited, which is the developer of this project, has

already carried out bidding and obtained land from the local government, and the land expropriation

Page 65: on the Smart City Development Project in Navi Mumbai, India

62

has been completed. Hereafter, we would at first enter into EPC contracts related to the development

of infrastructure such as water supply and sewerage systems (already obtained approval from

Maharashtra Water Supply and Sewerage Board), power supply facilities etc., which are the

components of basic urban development. In the proposal of Navi Mumbai smart city project plan,

the study/survey carried out for the development of sustainable infrastructure of Shendra Industrial

Park in Maharashtra State promoted by DMIC in the above-mentioned "Infrastructure and system

export promotion survey consignment project (feasibility study of smart cities in the global market),"

which was undertaken by JGC consortium in FY2010 based on the consignment by the Ministry of

Economy, Trade and Industry, will be considered as the reference.

3.5.1 PPP system in India

As mentioned above, it can be considered that the commercialization of all the contents of a smart

city would be implemented by using the PPP schemes established by SPV.

Based on the "Guidelines for Financial Support to Public Private Partnerships in Infrastructure" of

the Ministry of Finance, Economic Affairs Division*11

, every state establishes a PPP unit (PPP cell).

In particular, the three states of Andhra Pradesh, Gujarat and Punjab are developing comprehensive

legislations related to PPP infrastructure projects.

In India, there is a system called Viability Gap Funding (VGF) to support the PPP projects. This

is a scheme to commercially establish infrastructure projects, which are socially significant but have

low profitability, by compensating the deficit of project profitability with a government subsidy.

Under this scheme, it is possible to obtain 20% of the total project cost from the Central Government,

and if the implementing organization is a government or government-affiliated organization, then a

further 20% can be obtained from the implementing organization and a maximum of 40% of the total

project cost can be subsidized (Grant). A PPP cell*112

would be the donor agency and the approval

authority would differ based on the amount of VGF application.

・ VGF up to 1 billion rupees: *1 13

Approved by the Empowered Institution (EI: approving

organization)

・ VGF up to 2 billion rupees: *114

Page 66: on the Smart City Development Project in Navi Mumbai, India

63

・ VGF exceeding 2 billion rupees: Approved by the Finance Minister and EC

Applicability criteria of VGF scheme in India is that the percentage of private investment should be

51% or more, method of procurement is by public competitive bidding, and at times the private

company might also carry out fundraising, construction, maintenance and administration of the

project. Further, in projects where compensation for offering the services is obtained directly from

the end-user, it is an applicability criterion that one cannot increase the fee (usage fee) in order to

improve project profitability and the duration of project cannot be extended. 15

In the scope of

application, the following items have been considered as the targets: roads, bridges, railroads, ports,

airports, irrigation & water canals, power, urban transport, water supply, sewage system, waste

treatment, other physical urban infrastructure, infrastructure projects in the Special Economic Zones

(SEZ), international convention center, and other sightseeing-related infrastructure. The final

approval for 31 projects (total project cost is 100.86 billion rupees and total VGF is around 19.87

billion rupees) was obtained by July 2013. Table 2-3 indicates the number of projects of VGF by

sector.

3.5.2 Reviewing the fundraising based on the Navi Mumbai Smart PPP Scheme

Since the Navi Mumbai Special Economic Zone (NMSEZ) is a part of DMIC, by anticipating the

usage of Project Development Fund (PDF), SKIL Infrastructure Limited has already formed an SPV

with the following four organizations and it is carrying out land expropriation, fundraising etc. Also,

it has been granted permission to undertake the development of this area on behalf of the local

government under the Maharashtra Regional and Town Planning Act, 1966.

Members of Navi Mumbai Special Economic Zone SPV

① Skil Infrastructure Ltd.

② Reliance Group (a private conglomerate that is engaged in a wide range of businesses, such as

Finance, Communication, Power, Infrastructure, Media, Real Estate, Healthcare etc.)

③ Jai Corp.

④ CIDCO Ltd. (City and Industrial Development Corporation of Maharashtra)

In this section, a scheme for fundraising, when an SPV is developing the solar power generation

project which is the target of JCM and BEMS/Inverter Air-conditioner (INV-AC) project as an

aspect of the smart city, would be studied. Annually, 1 billion rupees would be provided for each city

in the smart city development project. However, considering the fact that these funds would be used

for the development of basic infrastructure such as water, garbage treatment, and power distribution

networks, it is essential to study independent funding schemes that are devised for the target

projects.

(1) SPC owns the solar power generation plant

Fundraising in renewable energy projects is generally done by establishing a Special Purpose

Company (SPC). It is in the form of project finance in which the repayment of funds relies on the

cash flow of revenue from electricity sales. It was decided that an SPC would enter into an

agreement with Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Company Limited (MSEDCL) for the

power supply, and it would make full use of the state’s preferential tariff for solar power. SPC would

carry out the solar power generation projects as an IPP, and with separate private investments by

Japan and India for power generation projects apart from SPV, the chances of installing Japanese

equipment would be increased. In addition to the funding sources mentioned above, application of

overseas investment schemes of JBIC, JICA etc. can also be considered as part of the domestic and

foreign loans. SPC sells electricity to MSEDCL and earns revenue from selling power. Regarding

the power rates that the power users inside NMSEZ pay to MSEDCL, if there is a competitive edge

compared to other states, it is hard to say that it would hinder attracting investments to the said area.

Page 69: on the Smart City Development Project in Navi Mumbai, India

66

Figure 0.1 Scheme if SPC owns the solar power generation plant

(2) Leasing the installed equipment to the companies and residents of NMSEZ

The following initiatives can be considered for the owners of commercial facilities and owners of

residential properties that have been invited to NMSEZ: Conducting awareness sessions about the

building energy saving codes to promote the installation of BEMS, INV-AC, roof-top type solar

devices or conducting awareness sessions regarding the incentives for roof-top solar devices etc. and

promoting by creating guidelines when inviting people or enterprises to the said area, or establishing

conditions etc. However, it cannot be denied that the initial investment, including the equipment of

Japanese companies, would be expensive. Therefore, it is necessary to offer incentives for installing

BEMS/Inverter Air-conditioners in the buildings or in the enterprises that have been invited to

NMSEZ. Therefore, provision of equipment leasing schemes by SPV to reduce the initial investment

cost for the organization that installs the equipment can be considered as one of the methods.

According to the "Survey on the expansion of commercial credit companies in Asia" conducted

by Nomura Research Institute that was commissioned by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and

Industry in FY2010, leasing is being provided in India with respect to personal durables, cars,

These leasing companies lease the target equipment to companies that would install it, and the

end user has to regularly pay the difference in amount with the power rates (energy saving amount

and solar power generation amount) upon using the equipment. On the other hand, regarding the

initial equipment procurement, the leasing company would use a low-interest loan of domestic and

international public funds to promote energy-saving and solar power generation, or in order to

promote installations in the area, incentives would be given to implement the same schemes in the

leasing company by SPV financing the leasing company at low interest rates (refer to Figure 3.2).

4. Studies of measures to reduce risk

The development of smart cities proposed herein require substantial funds and time. In financial

terms, the area failed to acquire grants from the central government, as it was not selected among the

Maharashtra state government is scheduled to provide funds for the development of Navi Mumbai.

In order to continually receive state support, there must be advantages for the state government as

well. The state government will benefit from increased tax income, enhanced employment and

environmental improvements, which will occur if the businesses can be successfully attracted to the

industrial area. Risk can be reduced by first drawing a grand design of the entire smart city, and then

dividing the area and components into smaller parts that can be individually addressed in phases in

order to develop a smart city.

We also believe that it is important that the development of NMSEZ is not assumed solely by

SKIL. Stakeholders in support of the development of NMSEZ should be gathered to diversify funds

and development components. From this perspective, showcasing smart cities will help exhibit the

significance of a smart community in NMSEZ and contribute to attracting stakeholders.

Chapter 3. A study of emission reduction methodologies applicable

when implementing projects and use of the methodology to

estimate potential emission reductions

1. A study of technological solutions to be adopted in a JCM project

In Chapter 2, we made proposals for the introduction of various technological solutions. In this

chapter, we will make the following considerations:

a. The potential for spreading Japanese low-carbon technologies and products

b. Target industries are yet to be determined, and thus technologies providing direct solutions

for manufacturing processes at factories would be difficult to adopt.

c. Electric power supply from the grid can be expected.

d. The certainty of MRV of emission reductions resulting from the JCM project.

Then, with a view to develop a JCM project, we will first address the three technologies provided

below, and in the succeeding subsections, discuss applicable emission reduction methodologies and

estimate potential reductions using the methodology.

1. PV power generation

2. Installation of a Building Energy Management System (BEMS) in commercial

establishments

3. Installation of inverter air conditioners in housing

The installed capacity of the PV power generation system considered is 210MW, covering a

feasible area of 147ha, including ground surface and rooftops, against NMSEZ’s total area of

2000ha.

India currently measures the efficiency of air conditioners using the Energy Efficiency Ratio

(EER), energy consumption standards based on the rated power output of equipment, but has been

deliberating the adoption of the Seasonal Performance Factor (SPF) as a method of evaluation.

2. Study on JCM-MRV and Estimation of GHG Emission Reduction

2.1 Solar Power Generation

The daily hours of sunlight in India are longer and solar radiation is also strong; therefore, solar

energy is considered to be a promising energy source. The Government of India formulated

“Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission (JNNSM)” in 2010 and set the target of deploying a total

of 20 GW of solar power generation by 2022. In June 2015, the target was revised to 100 GW (out of

which, 40 GW would be a rooftop type and 60 GW would be a medium- to large-scale grid

Page 73: on the Smart City Development Project in Navi Mumbai, India

connection type) of solar power generation by 202217

. At present, the solar power generation

accounts for just 1.5% (4,346.82 MW) of the total composition of power sources.

Figure 3.2.1 Total Power Source Composition in India (Left) and RES Breakdown (Right) [End of

December 2015]

Maharashtra State, which is the target area of this project, aims to deploy 7,500 MW of solar

power generation in next 5 years through the “Policy relating to grid connection power generation

project derived from new and renewable energy sources (2015)” and the total capacity of the

currently approved project is 360.25 MW18

.

The deployment of solar power generation through this project will contribute to the policies set

forth by the Government of India and Maharashtra State.

17 Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission(JNNSM)plays central role for promoting

solar energy in India , as a significant national initiative taken by government under

National Action Plan on Climate Change( 2008). At the beginning, JNNSM set up the

target for introducing capacity of solar power to 20GW by 2022, however, in 2015, the

target was increased substantially to 100 GW by 2022. 18 Maharashtra Energy Development Agency http://www.mahaurja.com/PDF/PG2_GridConnSPPCommissioned.pdf

1.1.1 Calculation of reference emission

The reference emission in this methodology is the CO2 emission generated from the use of fossil

fuels in the power stations connected to grid power system that is used when solar power generation

system is not installed. It is obtained by multiplying the power generation amount by the CO2

emission coefficient of the grid.

over-estimating the inverter loss and undervaluing the net power generation amount supplied by the

project to the grid.

2.2 Energy Management System (EMS)

An energy management system (EMS) carries out visualization of electric power consumption,

controls the equipment for power saving (CO2 reduction), and controls the renewable energy such as

solar power generator and storage battery etc. In Japan, definitions and applications of EMS in

installation facilities such as Home, Building, Community and Factory etc. are wide-ranging and are

referred to as HEMS, BEMS, CEMS and FEMS. On the other hand, the basic function of EMS to

monitor and control the energy demand and supply is common regardless of the various names of

EMS that represent the place where it will be installed.

Therefore, “EMS” will be used as a generic term for installation technology in this document and

MRV methodology corresponding to the EMS installation project will be studied.

2.2.1 Eligibility criteria

This methodology is applied to the projects meeting 4 eligibility criteria summarized in Table3..

This methodology is intended for projects aiming to reduce energy consumption through

optimum control of energy utilization by installing EMS in factories, buildings and community.

EMS in this methodology aims to improve and optimize the operation efficiency of target equipment

and facilities by installing energy utilization measurement devices, controllers, data collection,

storage, analysis and diagnosis devices for some or all the equipment and facilities of the target

plants, buildings and communities of the project.

The biggest problem in an EMS installation project is the difficulty of quantifying its results.

MRV methodology corresponding to the project having such characteristics should be developed by

taking into consideration a way to resolve the complexity in prior energy consumption data

collection and monitoring, because it is difficult to specify reference emission settings or causes of

reduction effect for EMS installation. Here, a valid effectiveness of EMS installation for operators

will be quantified and a simple method for quantification will be studied.

Demand control is one of the objectives of installing an EMS. If the electricity charges vary based

on the time period like in Japan, visualization of load variations by EMS and standardization of

electric power consumption by corresponding peak cut control will help to reduce energy cost. On

the other hand, standardization of this electric power consumption is not always directly linked with

the energy saving and reduction of GHG emissions. To quantify such energy saving and GHG

emission reduction effect, it is essential to have conditions such as obtaining data about hourly

19 IGES grid emission coefficient list http://pub.iges.or.jp/modules/envirolib/view.php?docid=2137

Page 77: on the Smart City Development Project in Navi Mumbai, India

74

emission coefficients of target system power supplies etc., which clearly define the load

standardization effect. However, collection of such data is an extremely difficult requirement in

developing countries. Therefore, projects where the EMS installation effect is limited to demand

control are outside the scope of application.

Eligibility

2.2.2 Calculation of reference emission

The project target facilities are affected by various factors such as the weather, operations, and

economic conditions. Therefore, from a practical point of view, it is extremely difficult to quantify

the reference emission as it requires data that is stable for a long period of time.

Therefore, reference emission is calculated by this methodology by proportionally dividing the

reference energy consumption based on the actual measured value of project energy consumption as

shown below and multiplying it by the emission coefficient of the reduction target energy. Energy

reduction is classified into that related to electric power and fossil fuel, and the total reference

emission is obtained by adding the respective reference emissions.

actual measured value of energy consumption cannot be used before and after EMS installation, then

the expected value having a certain degree of reliability such as a catalog value of an EMS

manufacturer or vendor can be used.

FCref,i,j,p = Fossil fuel consumption of reference equipment j in application category i

in the interval p [ton or kl]

Here, time to obtain the actual measured data for electric power and fossil fuel consumption will

be taken into consideration.

If the facility operation status of each year is fixed, reference energy consumption is calculated

using actual measurements before the project is implemented. Based on this, as a reference

consumption that takes into consideration the weather conditions such as the four seasons or rainy

and dry season etc., the energy reduction effect of EMS is quantified by comparing the actual

measured values after starting the project with the project energy consumption.

Fig.3.1 Conceptual Image of Actual Measurement Period of Energy Consumption (1 year)

Page 80: on the Smart City Development Project in Navi Mumbai, India

77

In the real project conditions, it is expected to be difficult to sufficiently secure the actual period

of measuring reference energy consumption, and hence the study will be conducted by shortening

the actual measurement period to 6 months or 1 month by organizing the conditions. As mentioned

before, the target period for actual measurement relating to an energy usage calculation throughout

the year will be shortened assuming that the conditions other than weather conditions are identical

while taking into consideration the maintainability. Fig. 3. is an illustration of an actual reference

measurement period of six months. As a condition, the target six months should include months

having the highest and lowest average outside air temperature. Based on this, an EMS installation

effect can be obtained that takes into consideration an impact the same as that of a change in

temperature throughout the year.

Further, Fig.3. is the 1-month measurement model. The actual value of reference and project

energy consumption is measured by switching the EMS ON/OFF for every given period of time in

the month having the highest outdoor air temperature. The EMS efficiency value is maintained by

using data for months having a high outdoor air temperature.

Operating air-conditioning is of no use when the air-conditioning load is less than the equipment

capacity and the air-conditioner is in a partial load operation state. Energy saving can be achieved by

optimizing the operating condition at that time using EMS. The capacity of an air-conditioner is set

at the timing when the load is maximum (when the temperature is highest) and energy saving is not

achieved by EMS control during the maximum-capacity operation of the equipment. Therefore, a

conservative calculation can be achieved by calculating the EMS installation effect based on data for

the month having the highest outdoor air temperature.

The project emission is that based on energy consumption when the target project facility has an

EMS installed as shown below. However, when installing an EMS on multiple devices or pieces of

equipment20

, the emission will be calculated for each application category (air-conditioning, lighting

etc.) and the emissions of project activity for each energy type (electricity, fossil fuel) will be added

up.

2.3 Inverter Air-conditioner

The air-conditioner market in India in 2014 saw sales of 3.86 million units per annum21

and in

recent years it has been increasing at a rate of 5 to 6% per annum. Although based on the population

ratio it is 1/10th

of Japan, and the rate of penetration is still low, manufacturers in Japan, China and

South Korea consider it to be a future growth market.

LG and local company Voltas have a market share of around 20% and are competing for the top

spot. Samsung occupies third place, followed by Japanese and Chinese manufacturers. In Japan,

where the general split-type AC has 75 to 80% of the market share, demand for the cheaper

window-type AC is still strong.

The rate of penetration of the inverter-type, AC which is boasted to be 100% in Japan, is just

above 3%, and it is extremely low even when compared to China which is at 50% and Vietnam

which is at 35%. Under such conditions, the Japanese and South Korean manufacturers are planning

to expand their market share by enhancing the lineup of inverter machines.

MRV methodology with respect to the inverter air-conditioner popularizing project will be

reviewed in this section.

2.3.1 Eligibility criteria

Table3.2.3 Eligibility criteria summarizes seven methodology eligibility criteria. In this

methodology, the promotional projects for dispersed buildings, such as individual houses, is

excluded, and the projects to newly install inverter air-conditioners or to replace the existing ones in

public facilities or facilities such as hospitals, hotels, factories, and apartment buildings is targeted.

The standard labeling system of device areas is being implemented in India, and the operators, who

wish to manufacture, sell or import the products in Indian market, must conform to the Minimum

Energy Performance Standard (MEPS) and label display. In this system, although the regulations are

randomly classified and applied for each target product, single-phase, unitary split-type room

air-conditioner with a rating of 11,000 W or below is specified in one of the four product regulations,

and the project of installing those target machines would be a prerequisite. Further, a reduction in

GHG emissions, which is promoted by this project, is achieved by reducing the consumption of

electricity, and the system power supply facility is examined to clearly define the emission factor.

There should be a plan to ensure that the coolant from the

device is not released into the atmosphere when removing

Requirement after considering

the fact that it is GHG

reduction project.

When installing an air-conditioner, handling a coolant will result in emission of greenhouse gases

on a large scale. Since it is being promoted as a JCM project, along with confining the work to

devices that have zero Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP) of the coolant, it is a prerequisite that

reasonable planning is done so that coolant is not released from the device to the atmosphere when

removing the existing and project devices.

In this methodology, the emission reduction is calculated based on the difference of efficiency

between the project device and reference device. The Energy Efficiency Ratio (EER), which is based

on rated power capacity of the device, is being used as the method of evaluating the efficiency of

air-conditioner devices in India. And it is not possible to evaluate the effect of inverter technology by

measuring the energy saving by variably controlling the compressor output with respect to the

fluctuation in cooling load. Regarding this problem, advanced countries including Japan are adopting

Page 86: on the Smart City Development Project in Navi Mumbai, India

83

efficiency evaluation methods based on the actual situation, and the Seasonal Performance Factor

(SPF), which is the method recommended in Japan, has received international standardization such

as ISO certification in 2014. In this methodology, CSPF (Cooling Seasonal Performance Factor),

which is the seasonal performance factor specific to cooling, is used as the efficiency indicator of the

device.

2.3.2 Calculation of reference emission

The reference emission is calculated by multiplying the system CSPF ratio of reference & project

devices and system power emission factor by the project power consumption that would be

measured. In order to ensure serviceability, a device with efficiency higher than that of the most

purchased device in the market is selected as the reference device.

The CSPF of a reference device and project device is established according to the following

procedure.

Step 1: Selection of reference device after considering serviceability

A reference device is selected based on the following conditions. At the time of selection, it

is handled based on the capacity of each project device. Display of energy efficiency rating in

India (evaluation index: EER) is shown in Table3.. The performance of reference device would

be determined based on market research in the future.

Table3.1 Display of energy efficiency rating in India (evaluation index: EER).

2.50 – 2.70 2.70 – 2.90 2.90 – 3.10 3.10 – 3.30 3.30 – 3.50

Step 2: Determining CSPF of reference device

As mentioned above, EER is the evaluation indicator of air-conditioners in India, and it is

difficult to obtain the product information related to CSPF. Calculation of the CSPF value is done

according to ISO 5151, based on the efficiency of the device at 50% and 100% load, and the regional

meteorological data. Efficiency in case of 100% load is the EER value, and it is possible to obtain it

since it is required to specify it based on the energy saving standards. On the other hand, the value at

50% load should be measured at a dedicated facility and it is difficult to implement it in India.

In the project execution stage, it is required to establish a trend pertaining to the acquisition of

meteorological data and the CSPF calculations.

Page 87: on the Smart City Development Project in Navi Mumbai, India

84

Step 3: Determining CSPF of project device

CSPF value of project device is a numerical value that is calculated by an evaluation method

which complies with the ISO 5151 standard. At present, there are no inspection agencies in India that

can implement the said evaluation, and the evaluation values calculated independently by the

manufacturers are being used.

Step 4: Calculation of CSPF ratio of reference device and project device for each model

It is the value obtained after dividing the CSPF value of the reference device by the CSPF value

of project device having the same capacity as that of the reference device.

Step 5: Determining the CSPF ratio project value of reference device and project device

Among the CSPF ratios of reference and project devices calculated for each model in Step 4, the

smallest value is considered as the CSPF ratio project value.

Based on the below equation, the reference emission is obtained by rebating the project power

usage by the ratio of Cooling Seasonal Performance Factor of project & reference devices, and then

multiplying it by the emission factor of system power supply.

4. Emission reduction potential at industrial establishments

4.1 Emission reduction potential at industrial establishments

Since we have yet know which industries will expand into the area, and thus it would be difficult

to address emissions that are directly related to manufacturing processes at factories, the previous

two sections did not discuss emission reduction methodology for these emissions. However, with

electric power consumption at industrial establishments accounting for 85% of the entire area, we

sought to evaluate the emission reduction potential of factories in some way. In this section, we will

estimate emission reduction potential based on the assumption that a Factory Energy Management

System (FEMS) has been installed.

In this section, GHG emissions reductions under an FEMS will be estimated based on the

conditions provided below. Estimations were conducted using a range of 2.5% – 25% for the energy

efficiency rate to be achieved by FEMS, as industry types and manufacturing processes are yet to be

determined, and thus actual values may vary from conservative values to those representing

aggressive renewal of equipment.

[Conditions]

Annual electric power consumption in area: 2,146,299MWh (demand value: 700MW; average

electric power consumption: 35%)

Area of FEMS installation: industrial establishment

Electric power consumption by industrial establishments: 85% of entire area

Energy efficiency rate owing to FEMS: 2.5~25%

Emission factor: 0.995kg-CO2/kWh

Based on the abovementioned conditions, the GHG emission reductions achieved by installing

a FEMS is estimated to range from 45,379 to 453,787 tons.

The estimated emission reductions achieved by a JCM project and the emission reduction

potential of installing a FEMS is compiled in following table. The emission reductions to be

achieved by the JCM project are estimated to be 410,001tCO2e/year, after eliminating

double-counting. Total reduction potential, including the potential emission reductions of installing a

FEMS, is 448,767~797,665 tCO2e/year.

Chapter 4. Analysis of the economic impact of project implementation

and the potential impact on India

1. A study of the economic impacts of the successful implementation of a

smart city development plan

The development of Navi Mumbai is still in its planning stage and while many companies have

expressed their interest in bringing their business to their area, decisions are yet to be made

concerning which industries will be represented in the area. The success of the development plan of

this area is largely dependent on whether or not companies expand into the area from overseas,

including Japan. Therefore, the successful implementation of a JCM project, and consequently the

further involvement of Japanese companies are expected to boost the development of Navi Mumbai.

The smart city plan envisages a total of approximately 280 thousand residents in the area, of

which approximately 130 thousand people will be employed in one of the local industries. Around

70 percent will work in the manufacturing industry,15 percent in tcommerce and 15 percent in

service industries.

Workers employed by manufacturing, commercial or service companies will receive four-fold to

seven-fold of the average wage paid to agricultural workers. Therefore, they promise to have large

purchasing power. If an agricultural worker living close to the planned site moved to the smart city

and took up a job in a new industry, his wages would increase by 19.5 billion rupees.

2. A study of the economic impact of a JCM project

In this section an economic evaluation will be performed on the additional costs entailed by

installing the PV system, air conditioner and BEMS identified in Chapter 3 and the energy cost

reductions achieved through energy saving efforts. Then an evaluation will be conducted on the

impacts that additional investments made for equipment introduced under a JCM project will have

on the Navi Mumbai and the domestic macro-economy. For this purpose, an inter-industry analysis

will be performed to estimate the impacts, particularly for two cases: when the equipment related to

the technology is manufactured domestically (in India, including Navi Mumbai) and when it is

imported.

2.1 Economic evaluation of additional investments and energy cost reductions

through energy savings

The formula used for calculating the additional investments required to implement a JCM project

is varied among different equipment. The additional investment required for installing PV systems is

estimated by multiplying the additional investment amount per kilowatt by the capacity of the

equipment introduced; BEMS, by multiplying the additional investment amount by the energy

savings achieved; and air conditioners, by multiplying the additional investment per air conditioning

unit by the number of units installed

The capacity of the PV system and the number of air conditioners to be installed have been

provided in Chapter 3. PV systems are to be installed in households, factories and commercial

establishment according to an area ratio of 7.5%, 85%, 7.5%. Additional investment amounts were

estimated for PV systems, air conditioners and BEMS as provided in Table 4.2.1.

The energy cost reductions achieved as a result of implementing a JCM project was estimated by

multiplying the electric power tariffs in Maharashtra by the energy savings estimated in Chapter 3.

In Maharashtra state, different electric power companies supply power based on diversified rates,

and thus the electric power tariffs were calculated using a weighted average of the different rates23

.

The electric power tariffs employed are provided in Table 4.2.2.

2010-2011

Net benefit was calculated by adding additional investment and saved energy cost, resulting in 1.1

billion Rs for BEMS and 2.2 billion Rs for air conditioning. PV systems will generate net benefits of

5.4 billion Rs in factories and 0.8 billion Rs in commercial establishments, while costing households,

with relatively low electric power tariffs, net costs of 0.01 billion Rs (Figure 4.2.1)。

and employment

Additional investment will generate new demand, thus affecting domestic industry and

employment. The total investment amounts estimated in Table 4.2.1 were divided into industries

using the ratios derived from various literature and provided in Table 4.2.3 in order to estimate the

impacts on domestic industrial production and employment.

Construction 15% 4% 14%

Commercial 10% 5% 5%

Transportation 1% 0% 1%

Software 0% 66% 0%

If all relevant goods were to be manufactured domestically, then total production, including

induced production, would amount to increases by 57.9 billion Rs for PV systems, 9.6 billion Rs for

air conditioning, and 0.6 billion Rs for BEMS, or collectively 68.1 billion Rs, which is equivalent to

0.5% of Maharashtra state’s GDP. Furthermore, increased manufacturing would create employment -

68.8 thousand persons for PV systems, 11.1 thousand persons for air conditioning, 1.3 thousand

persons for BEM, or a total of 81.3 thousand persons. Air conditioners and PV systems, in particular,

call for investment in the machinery and construction industries, which receive much input from raw

material industries; and therefore, economic impact would be substantially different depending on

whether they are domestically manufactured or imported. If all equipment were to be imported, then

total production, including induced production would be limited to 10.9 billion Rs for PV systems,

1.4 billion Rs fro air conditioning and 0.4 billion Rs for BEMS, or 12.4 billion Rs collectively.

Employment increases would also be limited to 22.8 thousand persons for PV systems, 2.6 thousand

persons for air conditioning, and 1.1 thousand persons for BEMS, amounting to a total of 22.8

thousand persons.

Figure 4.2.2 Production induced by additional investment

Figure 4.2.3 Employment induced by additional investment

Installing air conditioning, BEMS, and industrial and commercial PV systems can be beneficial

depending on the energy cost reductions achieved. However, households installing PV systems

would have to shoulder larger introduction costs than the benefits of energy conservation.

Furthermore, the benefits to be enjoyed are limited when air conditioners and PV systems are

imported. However, when they are manufactured domestically, domestic production and

employment can be increased, thus affecting the entire economy positively. When developing a

smart community, we would advise that companies manufacturing energy environment-related

technologies be invited to pursue their business operations in India.

3. A study of potential impacts on the entire Indian economy and energy

supply-demand

India’s energy demand is rapidly increasing as it pursues economic growth, and is projected to

continue to follow current trends. This section will study the potential economic impacts of

introducing energy-related equipment with consideration of India’s enlarging energy demand, based

on the energy supply-demand outlook through 2030 projected in Asia/World Energy Outlook 2015

(Institute of Energy Economics, Japan).

3.1 Energy supply-demand forecast for India through 2030

According to the International Energy Agency (IEA)’s energy balance data, India’s primary

energy consumption has increased by 2.5 times from 307 million tonnes of oil equivalent (Mtoe) in

1990 to 777 Mtoe in 2013. In the reference case, or the business-as-usual case, it is projected to

increase by another 1.8 times, reaching 1,360 Mtoe in 2030 (Figure 4.3.1). In terms of fuel type, coal

accounts for the largest share, representing 44 percent of energy consumption in 2013. This ratio is

projected to be maintained through 2030, with natural gas and nuclear power increasing their share.

Source: Institute of Energy Economics, Japan. Asia/World Energy Outlook 2015

Figure 4.3.1 Outlook of energy supply-demand in India

Given the progress made in electrification, electric power demand is increasing at a rate higher

than energy demand as a whole. India’s electric power demand increased by 4.1 times from 1990 to

2013, and will continue to increase by an additional 2.3 times through 2030 (Figure 4.3.1). As of

2013, 73 percent of the electricity generated relies on coal-fire thermal power plants, but this share

will shrink to 65 percent as natural gas, nuclear power and renewable energy expand their share.

In 2013, India is estimated to have had approximately 230 million households. This is projected to

increase to around 270 million households, in line with population growth, by 2030 (Figure 4.3.3).

The penetration ratio of air conditioners is low, with estimates suggesting that it was around 4% in

2013. Although the penetration ratio is forecasted to rise with increased income levels, it will remain

around 6% in 2030.

3.2 Outlook of penetration status in India in 2030

3.2.1 Air conditioners

Based on the outlook of the number of households and the penetration ratio provided in subsection

4.3.1, the number of air conditioners owned in India is estimated to be 15.57 million units in 2030.

Inverter air conditioners will increase their share of the total number of units sold, reaching 100

percent in 2030. In terms of of the number of units in use, approximately 84 percent, or 13.14

million air conditioners will have inverters installed.

3.2.2 BEMS

Estimates were performed for BEMS based on the presumption that 50 percent of all newly

constructed buildings would install a BEMS in 2030 and that 100 percent would have BEMS in

2040. Because buildings have a longer operating life than air conditioners, in 2030, 15 percent of all

buildings will have installed a BEMS, which means that approximately 44 TWh of the commercial

electric power demand exhibited in Figure 4.3.4 would have a BEMS.

3.2.3 PV power

The Intended Nationally Determined Commitments (INDC) submitted by the Indian Government

included the installation of 100 GW of PV power in 2022. As PV power is envisaged to be further

enhanced in 2030, estimations were made based on the presumption that in addition to installed

16GW in the Reference case, 134 GW would be installed in 2030, which would amount to 223 TWh

with a utilization factor of 17 percent. This is equivalent to around 8.2 percent of total power to be

generated in 2030.

3.3 The potential economic impact of installing energy-saving solutions

Based on the presumptions given above, the costs and benefits of installing air conditioners,

BEMS and PV power are estimated as provided in Figure 4.3.5. It should be noted that since the

additional costs incurred and benefits are both larger for PV power than for air conditioners and

BEMS, the scale represents a unit 10 times larger for PV power. Furthermore, saved energy costs

include reduced fuel costs and initial investment costs, and operating and maintenance costs for

coal-fired thermal power plants. Coal price is assumed to be 106 dollars/t based on the projected

price for 2030 in Asia/World Energy Outlook 2015 (Institute of Energy Economics, Japan).

Figure 4.3.5 Costs and benefits of installing energy-saving equipment (all India)

Additional investments will induce production and employment as presented in FiguresFigure

4.3.6. It should be noted again that the scale represents a unit 10 times larger for PV power. When

production is taken up domestically, the production induced would be worth 38 trillion rupees, which

amounts to approximately 0.8 percent of GDP, generating employment for 45 million people.

included as an “energy-saving solution”. As shown in Figure 4.3.9, investment in coal-fired thermal

power plants will be reduced by approximately 4.1 trillion rupees, and accumulated fuel cost will be

reduced by 6.1 trillion rupees by 2030.

Chapter 5. Challenges in implementing the development plan, critical

factors and challenges for success with a view to registering it as a

JCM project : Identifying the challenges in developing a JCM

project

(1)Cross-cutting issues

Of the issues that have been indicated in past JCM feasibility studies and recent

interviews with manufacturers of the technological solutions (PV power, air

conditioners, BEMS) incorporated in the proposed project, cross-cutting challenges

that may be faced in the project have been compiled into Table 5.1.1.

Table 0 Cross-cutting challenges to be faced in developing a JCM project

a. Corporate

awareness of

energy efficiency

Companies have little interest and knowledge of energy

efficiency. Given the option of increasing production to

increase profits, energy efficiency is given low priority24(*)

b. Capacity of

government and

government-affili

ated companies

Procedures to acquire approval of the project is complex

Lack of capacity on the part of the authorities stall approval

procedures25

c. Commercial

practices

Various commercial practices are different from those of

Japan

For example, suppliers are insensitive to keeping delivery

deadlines. (*)

d. Localization

Because PV panels26 and air conditioners are currently

manufactured in India, exports from Japan are not price

competitive due to shipping costs (*)

e. Tax systems Taxes are diversified among the national government and

state governments, and are generally high27

f. Land acquisition

issues

Land acquisition coordination among landowners and

residents require much time and effort.28

When conflict with residents develop into court trials,

projects are completely stalled for years until the case is

settled. (*)

(*) Points indicated in interview surveys

Source: compiled by IEEJ based on various material

From the viewpoint of developing smart community projects in NMSEZ, e. tax

systems should not be a large issue as special tax schemes (details of tax exemptions are

provided in Chapter 2) have been introduced for SEZs. Also in terms of f. Land

acquisition issues, the area to be developed under the current project has already been

acquired from the developers and should not pose any problems. However, the other

issues indicated need to be addressed: a. corporate awareness of energy efficiency; b.

capacity of government and government-affiliated companies; c. commercial practices;

and d. localization.

a. Corporate awareness of energy efficiency

Previous JCM feasibility studies have pointed out that participating companies

need to be interested in and understand the benefits of high energy efficiency and smart

communities. Also, we learned in interviews that even if we presented quantitative

information on estimated energy savings, Indian counterparts may not make any effort

to understand the numbers. An emphasis must be laid on how to communicate the

energy savings that would be possible by expanding business operations into the area as

well as the benefits of a smart community.

b. Governance

The smart community development project at NMSEZ embraces various

components ranging from infrastructure development to attracting companies to the

industrial area and running it; and therefore, a large number of approvals and licenses

are required. According to previous JCM feasibility studies, procedural delays will

obstruct the progress of the project. Also, such administrative inefficiency will be

aggravated when processes involve more than one government ministry or agency.

Therefore, relevant government organizations (mainly state governments) must be

Same as above

Page 108: on the Smart City Development Project in Navi Mumbai, India

105

committed to a new scheme under which procedures can be advanced promptly.

Furthermore, there should only be one division responsible for matters concerning

infrastructure development, so that procedures for bringing companies to the area can

be streamlined. For example, at the Neemerana industrial area in Rajasthan state, the

Rajasthan State Industrial Development and Investment Corporation (RIICO) has

achieved higher efficiency by setting up a specialized office for procedural processes29.

In this manner, it is important for NMSEZ to gain the state government’s commitment

and establish a scheme under which the developer and the government can collaborate

closely.

c. Commercial practices

It has been revealed in JCM feasibility studies that commercial practices are very

different in Japan and India, and that projects must be taken forward in view of such

gaps. Similar points were made by the companies that we interviewed. For example,

problems with Indian construction companies and suppliers include their tendency not

to keep the promised delivery date, their rough work, which makes it difficult to

maintain a certain level of quality, and delayed delivery. Long construction periods also

pose problems. For example, it was indicated at an interview that high-end housing

could take 4-5 years to complete.

d. Labor in localication

Given the rapid growth of the manufacturing industry in India, PV panels and

high efficiency air conditioners, which are some of the target components of the current

project, are currently manufactured domestically in India. In order to meet the demand

in NMSEZ and all other Indian smart communities to be established in the future, local

production must be considered in order to pursue price competitiveness as Japanese

imports would be subject to shipping costs and tariffs.

However, according to the JCM feasibility study, it will be difficult to secure

human resources for local production. In the interviews conducted, we were also told

that given market expansion, all companies are in need of human resources and have

been competing against each other or headhunting for workers. While the technologies

involved for the current project requires a certain level of skill of factory workers, given

the growth of the manufacturing industry as a whole, headhunting can be done not only

from competitors of the same industry but also from other industries, such as the

29 JETRO “Introduction to Neemrana industrial area in Rajasthan state, India”

Page 109: on the Smart City Development Project in Navi Mumbai, India

106

automobile industry. Furthermore, the strong inclination of Indian factory workers to

change jobs make securing human resources a serious issue. At the same time, training

is required for factory workers to be able to install complex equipment.

(2) Issues regarding individual technologies

①PV power generation

a. Climatic conditions

According to interviews with target companies, in order to conduct PV power

generation in India, measures must be taken to prevent seasonal variations (differences

between the rainy season and dry season), temperature and sand and dust from

reducing power generation efficiency.

i. Difference between the rainy season and dry season

India has a rainy season (July to September) and dry season (October to March)

which causes large fluctuations in power generation efficiency throughout the year.

During the rainy season, in particular, a backup power source will be required. While

storage batteries would serve the purpose of complementing the intermittency of

solar power, they are still highly priced and their installation would undermine the

viability of PV power generation.

ii. High temperatures

High temperatures will cause heat to be retained in the PV panels, consequently

lowering their generation efficiency. In regions with high temperatures (Mumbai, in

particular, in characterized by highs over 30℃ year round and can rise up to the

forties, which will cause the surface temperature of the panels to become 80-90℃.)

countermeasures must be taken against heat.

iii. Sand and dust

India is exposed to much dust, which accumulates on the PV panel surfaces, thus

lowering power generation efficiency; and therefore, the dust must be discarded as a

daily maintenance routine. It can be effectively washed away, but not only do many

areas not have water supply facilities, areas with such infrastructure are challenged

with high water rates. Thus, using water would only boost the costs involved with

installing PV power. Another challenge faced in conducting PV power generation in

India is that water with high mineral content could lead to gradual malfunction

caused by saline matter.

b. Intensified market competition and price-conscious users

As indicated in TableTable 02, the Indian federal government and the

Page 110: on the Smart City Development Project in Navi Mumbai, India

107

Maharashtra state government both have incentive measures for PV power

companies to the Indian market, but this on the other hand has intensified market

competition, and hence price competition. A US company has avoided shipping costs by

building a PV panel factory in India to manufacture solar panels to sell domestically in

India. Therefore, PV panels exported from Japan to India would involve shipping costs,

and therefore undermine their price competitiveness. Moreover, because price is the

most important measure of judgment in India, people will compromise quality for lower

prices. Furthermore, when the purchasing price for solar power was determined in

Maharashtra, MERC announced a reference capital cost of 60.9 million rupees (≒100

million yen), whereas the envisaged cost for 2015 presented by the Procurement Price

Estimation Committee, which deliberates prices for Japan’s feed-in-tariff scheme was

290 million yen/MW34. The capital subsidy offered for PV power generation projects

under the federal government’s VGF program was also limited to a maximum of

approximately 16.4 million yen. The gap between Japanese and Indian markets being

difficult to close, India would be an extremely challenging playing field for companies

whose business is targeted at the Japanese market. Without regulations and policy

measures that offer benefits to panels featuring high-performance and durability, the

Indian market will be a very rocky environment for Japanese PV panels that ensure

high performance but are expensive.

②High efficiency air conditioners

1) Problems with the labelling scheme

Since India’s energy saving labelling scheme has been established with no

reference to load variation, 35 , the performance of inverter air conditioners that

Japanese air conditioner manufacturers take pride in do not serve as a competitive

feature in the Indian market. India is currently deliberating the setting up of Annual

Performance Factor (APF) standards that consider load variation, but given the

diversity of temperatures across India – especially the high temperatures experienced

in NMSEZ, many users keep the air conditioner on at high output without load

variation. Under these circumstances, inverter technology cannot give Japanese air

109

conditioners a competitive advantage.

2) Consumer inclination towards prioritizing

It was pointed out in our interview surveys that many Indian users are indifferent

about energy efficiency and even the few users that are interested would prioritize the

cheapness of a product to its energy efficiency performance. Therefore, many users and

consumers are strongly inclined to select more inexpensive items regardless of how

inefficient they are.

③BEMS

1)Cost-related issues and credibility

Interviewed companies have pointed out that since wages are low in India, larger

cost-benefits could be expected by dispatching personnel to manage systems, instead of

installing expensive equipment to control air conditioners. It has also been indicated

that when presenting the need for control technologies, emphasis should be laid on

proving that energy savings have been generated, as customers can sometimes be

skeptical of energy efficiency data.

Chapter 6: Policy proposals related to JCM and Smart City in

India (Low carbon technologies, technical standards

regarding products and financial support measures etc.)

1. Tax incentives, financial support measures and comparisons of India with other

emerging economies

JCM and smart city projects require consideration of financial support measures, as the

introduction of environment-friendly facilities entail additional investment and cost. In this section,

we will discuss possible financial support measures for Navi Mumbai in Maharashtra state, India,

with reference to measures implemented in other Indian states and other emerging economies, such

as China, with high levels of economic growth.

1.1 Tax incentives and financial support measures in Navi Mumbai

a. A comparison of major incentive measures in India

In India, companies setting up industrial units in Special Economic Zones (SEZs), which were

launched in 2005 for the purpose of promoting exports and employment are entitled to various tax

incentives. National Manufacturing and Investment Zones (NMIZ), established later in 2013 for the

further growth of the manufacturing industry, aim to increase the share of manufacturing in GDP

from 16% to 25% under the National Manufacturing Policy (announced in 2011). The policy seeks

to attract manufacturing companies to NMIZs by focusing on support for the development of

logistics and other infrastructure, which is essential for the manufacturing industry. Other tax

incentives include those for companies located in sector-specific industrial parks, such as software

technology parks. Subsidies are also available for constructing basic infrastructure, such as water

supply and sewerage systems and electric power systems. Incentives are described in detail in Table

6.1.1.

Page 114: on the Smart City Development Project in Navi Mumbai, India

111

Table 6.1.1 Major tax incentives in India

Coverage Description

(1) SEZ (Special Economic Zone) ・Exemption from corporate tax, import tariffs, commodity tax,

service tax, central sales tax (CST), value-added tax (VAT), etc.

・However, corporate tax exemption applies for a maximum of 15

years (first five years: 100%; succeeding five years: 50%;

additional five years, provided profits are re-invested 50%)

・Dividend distribution tax (DDT) and minimum alternate tax (MAT)

are imposed.

(2) NMIZ (National Manufacturing and

Investment Zones)

・No specification of tax incentives.

・However, by including a SEZ in an NMIZ, the NMIZ can enjoy the

benefits of the tax incentives applied to the SEZ

* SEZs are required to be 10-1,000ha; NMIZ are required to be

over 5,000ha

(3) EOU (Export Oriented Unit) ・Exemption from import tariffs, commodity tax, service tax, central

sales tax, value-added tax (VAT)

(4) Companies located inside the

following industrial parks:

a. Software technology park

b. Electronics hardware

technology park

c. Bio-technology park

Same as above

(5) Investment in infrastructure ・Infrastructure development projects for roads, water supply and

sewerage system, irrigation and waste treatment may receive

exemption from corporate taxes for ten consecutive years out of the

first twenty years since the launching of the project.

・For IT projects, corporate tax exemption applies for the first five

years; 30% exemption applies for the succeeding five years

・Other regulations: continually maintain a positive trade balance for

every five-year block counting from the year manufacturing

started.

(6) Investment in power generation and

power transmission and distribution

・Profits from the construction projects for power generation, power

transmission, and transmission and distribution networks, and

repairs and upgrades of power transmission and distribution lines

are exempted from taxation for ten consecutive years out of the

first fifteen years of the project.

・However, in order to be entitled to tax exemption for power

generation, power transmission and power transmission and

distribution lines, the project must be started before March 31,

2017.

b. Incentive measures in Navi Mumbai

The incentive measures applicable in Navi Mumbai are varied depending on whether the

establishment is located in or outside the Special Economic Zone (SEZ). In the SEZ (Navi Mumbai

SEZ), establishments enjoy the benefits of incentive measures of both the SEZ and the Maharashtra

Industry Policy 2013 (announced in January 2013). In areas outside the SEZ, only incentive

measures under the Maharashtra Industry Policy 2013 apply.

SEZ incentive measures entitle companies to exemption from taxation on various items,

Page 115: on the Smart City Development Project in Navi Mumbai, India

112

regardless of the state of location (Table 6.1.2). For example, companies can receive a 100%

exemption on corporate tax for the first five years, a 50% exemption for the succeeding five years

and a 50% exemption for an additional five years provided that profits are re-invested. They are

exempted by 100% from central sales tax (CST), tariffs value-added tax (VAT), and entry tax. States

have different polices on consumption tax and stamp duty. Although the minimum alternate tax36

(MAT) and dividend distribution tax37

(DDT) were initially included among the tax exemptions, tax

imposition has been resumed since 2011.

Under the Maharashtra Industry Policy, companies receive exemption from some state taxes

and other incentives (Table 6.1.3). They are entitled to exemption from electricity consumption duty

and stamp duty (real estate purchases, lease agreements, etc.). Subsidies are available for installing

energy-saving and water-saving equipment, which are essential components of a smart city, and

refunds can be received on water and electric power audit costs. However, under the Maharashtra

state policy, the application of incentives is dependent on the degree of local development; and

therefore, electricity tariff discounts and business investment subsidies (partial tax refunds on annual

VAT and CST payments) are not applicable to Navi Mumbai, which is a relatively developed area.

As of January 2015, out of the 491 locations that have acquired approval, only 196 SEZs are

functional. This is due in part to a high corporate tax rate (41-43%) compared to other countries.

Although a 50% tax discount is granted for five years, the imposition of taxes is resumed in full from

the sixth year. A recent development is reduction of the corporate tax rate to 30% to 25% (for

domestic corporations with taxable income of less than 10 million rupees) over four years starting

from April 2016. This measure will be preceded by the March 2016 application of a 25% corporate

tax rate to newly established manufacturing companies in India. Another issue is the revision of the

Land Acquisition Act for the the promotion of infrastructure improvement. Revisions include

dropping the requirement to acquire the consent of land owners and exemption from social impact

surveys, which are not favorable changes to farmers, and thus decisions have been stalled. However,

there has been word that states with a high representation of the ruling party may implement

revisions prior to nationwide implementation.

A sugar tax is also expected to be introduced soon with the aim to prevent obesity and may

affect the expansion of multinational food and beverage companies.

In this manner, by setting up industrial units in an SEZ, companies will be able to enjoy the

benefits of incentive measures, but on the other hand will be exposed to restrictions they would

otherwise not have to follow. For example, products manufactured in a SEZ are subject to an export

obligation that requires companies to export at least 75% of products manufactured and limit

domestic sales below 25%. This provision may discourage overseas companies that seek to develop

36 MAT: imposed upon companies when 18.5% of accounting profit exceeds the corporate tax amount due 37 DDT: dividend distribution tax

Page 116: on the Smart City Development Project in Navi Mumbai, India

113

a market in India. Considering the fact that land prices and wages are high in Navi Mumbai due to its

proximity to India’s largest city, Mumbai, a lowering of the cap on domestic sales will be required in

light of market trends. Companies expanding to non-SEZ areas will be granted relatively few tax

incentives: and therefore, more incentive measures are called for.

(*1) Imposed when 18.5% of accounting profit exceeds corporate tax amount. (*2) Levied on the movement of goods from one state to another.

1.2 A comparison of incentive measures in Navi Mumbai and other states

Outside of Maharashtra state, incentive measures are varied among different states, as state

policies can be determined independent of the the national SEZ policy. A comparison of incentive

measures implemented in the five states (Gujarat, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, and

Karnataka) with a large number of smart cities under the Smart City Mission as well as a large

number of industrial townships concentrated along the Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor (DMIC) or

Chennai-Bengaluru Industrial Corridor (CBIC) and Navi Mumbai in Maharashtra state is performed

herein (Figures 6.1.1, 6.1.2 and 6.1.3).

Figure 6.1.3 India’s Infrastructure Improvement Scheme

The five states studied herein have individually introduced three types of incentive measures,

namely, business investment subsidies, capital investment subsidies, and preferential loans (Tables

6.1.4 and 6.1.5). A unique characteristic of these incentive measures is that they have been tailored to

project or company size or limited to specific areas.

From the viewpoint of developing a smart city, another feature is that the subsidies offered are

targeted at important elements for business expansion, such as core infrastructure38

construction, as

well as environmental measures, including the introduction of clean production facilities,

introduction of renewable energy, waste water treatment, and sewerage facilities.

Based on the abovementioned, incentive measures in NMSEZ would better serve the purposes

of business expansion and developing a smart city if investment subsidies and preferential loans

focused on energy-saving, energy creation and energy storage could be added.

This subsection will conduct a comparison of Indian incentive measures and similar measures

in China, Thailand and Indonesia, popular destinations of foreign investment, (Figure 6.1.4) in order

to discuss what kind of incentive measures should be considered in India.

(*1) Incentive measures offered by the BOI are also available in Thai SEZs based on approval. (*2) Reduced tax rates, which are currently imposed as ordinary tax rates, apply (temporary legislation).

Indian SEZs currently offer incentive measures to a wide range of industries that have set up

business operations in areas designated by the government. However, in the other three countries

evaluated, the target of incentive measures has shifted from “specific target regions” to “national

target industries”, in accordance with their economic growth. Simultaneously, in areas where

domestic industries have increased their competiveness, incentive measures are being gradually

abandoned for foreign companies.

In addition, while India has only one SEZ program, with the exception of policy measures

focused on specific sectors and special zones established by private companies, the three countries

evaluated have various “promoted businesses” and “special zones” which are categorized by

industry or purpose. India also has policies to promote businesses in specific industries which have

been implemented at the state level. A recent development is the nationwide “Make in India”

campaign announced in 2014 that set up special zones for the manufacturing industry. This implies

that India is shifting its policy focus to encouraging the development of companies of specific

industries. Therefore, if India could continue pursuing such trends and establish SEZs for more

explicitly defined industries or purposes compared to those in other countries, it would be able to

effectively encourage foreign companies to bring business operations to India.

2. A study of technological standards for Navi Mumbai and India

As studied in Chapters 3 and 5, there are currently no barriers regarding technological

standards to adopting low carbon technologies and products in a JCM project.

Although the diffusion of an inverter air conditioner requires an evaluation of efficiency levels

using the Seasonal Performance Factor, India currently adopts the Energy Efficiency Ratio (EER).

However, India has been deliberating the adoption of the SPF as an efficiency measure; and

therefore, the EER may no longer hinder the diffusion of inverter air conditioners.

Chapter 7. Workshop for the promotion of JCM project with local stakeholders

Overview

This project was carried out with constant interaction with Indian side and input from Indian side

was incorporated based interviews and discussion during the team’s visit in November 2015 and

February 2016. A workshop was held on March 9, 2016 to share the final results of the study and

also to promote understating of JCM among Indian government officials and relevant stakeholders.

It was also aimed at getting inputs on the results of this study towards finalization.

The workshop received a wide participation from both Indian side and Japanese side. From Indian

side, nine local government officials from five different agencies attended the workshop together

with SKIL Infrastructure, a local partner of IEEJ. From Japanese side, the workshop received

participation of two consular officers and eleven Japanese business persons in Mumbai, from two

consultant firms, one construction company, two trading companies, and five manufacturing

companies.

During the workshop, IEEJ made presentations of; 1) Concept design of smart community; 2) the

emission reduction potential of smart community and introduction to JCM, and 3) the economic

impacts of the project, followed by remarks by SKIL Infrastructure and Mr. Subhashji Desai, the

Minister of Industry of Maharashtra. Towards the end, we had a free discussion involving all of the

participants.

Main comments raised during discussion

Energy efficiency at smart community should focus not only technological solutions but

also behavioral solutions. For example, thermostat is adjusted at 28 degrees Celsius during

summer together with promotion of coolbiz (relaxed business dress code for summer time).

This type of behavior change should also be effective in India.

Mr. Subhashji Desai, the Minister of Industry of Maharashtra, stated that the government of

Maharashtra welcomes partnership with Japan. He also stated that the government of

Maharashtra is willing to support this project through various means such as streamlining of

administrative procedure regarding the establishment of SEZ.

Some of the participants were not aware of BEMS as a technology. As the project moves

forward, it is suggested that there needs to be better understanding of technologies among

the stakeholders.

As the advantage of this project, two points were emphasized. First, the land acquisition is

already completed, which is usually the largest challenge in city development in India.

Secondly, development in a greenfield is much easier than retrofitting existing city.

Business side showed a very positive response to JCM as they would welcome any such

Page 152: on the Smart City Development Project in Navi Mumbai, India

149

scheme that promotes technology transfer to India and carbon footprint has become

increasingly important for the business.
