CHAPTER III Infrastructure The importance of infrastructure for sustainable economic growth is well identified. Physical infrastructure covering transportation, power and communication through its backward and forward linkages facilitates growth. The presence of quality infrastructure is highly important for the industrial development of the State. It facilitates the transportation of people and goods that provides them access to markets, employment and investment opportunities. The transport infrastructure in Kerala consists of roads, railways, airports and inland/water transport system. It consists of 3.72 lakhs Kms of road, 1257 Kms of Railways, 1687 Kms of inland waterways, 111 statute miles of Airways and 18 Ports. Ernakulam district is blessed with all modes of transportation network and is well designed to support intermodal transportation. And the district possesses an efficient network of connectivity with all other parts of the State as well as the Country and the World as a whole. 3.1 Transport a) Roads The district has a planned road infrastructure connecting roads, railways, airport and water transport. Being the commercial and industrial hub, people from adjacent district commutes to the town and this floating population creates uncontrollable traffic congestion. The growth of vehicles especially goods ' carriers/containers have also resulted in heavy traffic congestion of both National highways and State highways. The is an excellent example of junction widening for a smooth movement of vehicles without traffic blocks. In order to control the same, there are 9 Regional Transport Offices functioning in the in the district.  Ernakulam – KL 07  Muvattupuzha – KL 17  Thripunithura – KL 39  Perumbavoor – KL 40  Aluva – KL 41  North Paravur – KL 42  Mattanchery – KL 43  Kothamangalam – KL 44  Angamaly – KL 63

3.3 Power Energy plays a vital role in the socio economic development and human welfare of the State. An efficient, reliable and competitively priced energy supply is a prerequisite for accelerating economic growth and human development. Making available the required quantity of power of acceptable quality at affordable price is one among essentialities of industrial development. The power generation is from 4 sources i.e. hydro, thermal, wind and solar. The hydel energy is the most reliable and dependable source of energy.

Ernakulam being the Industrial capital of Kerala has a good network of electric power of transmission and distribution system. a) Conventional Energy: The Conventional Power system in the district consists of Hydel& Diesel and thermal sources. Hydel plant is at Idamalayar and Diesel plant is at Brahmapuram.165 MW power is generated using Naphtha at The BSES Kerala Ltd at Eloor. The district is well covered by the Kerala Power Grid consisting of 220KV, 110KV, 66KV transmission. Energy consumption pattern (conventional) Category Ernakulam circle Perumbavur circle Number % to Number % to total total Domestic 541231 79.31 486905 76.32 Commercial 116509 17.07 97338 15.25 Agriculture 9174 1.34 31525 4.94 Industry 7951 1.17 13404 2.1 Others 7601 1.11 8799 1.39 (Circle wise from KSEB) b) Non conventional energy: Agency for Non Conventional Energy and Rural Technology (ANERT) is the nodal agency for the implementation and propagation of non-conventional sources of energy in the State. The programmes taken by ANERT include solar photovoltaic programmes, solar thermal programmes, wind energy programmes, biogas programmes etc...

Sun with natural source of energy has got immense potential. As a result, solar energy is one of the most important non conventional sources of energy that are utilized in Ernakulam district. The solar cookers are quite economical and they have been a remarkable invention. These cookers assist in food preparation nearly without any expenditure. Additionally, many tiny and medium-scale solar power plants have been

Industrial Potential Survey of Ernakulam District intended for the countryside areas in India. Until now, some of the effective usages of solar energy include water heating, food preparation, area heating, removal of salt from water, and drying of harvest. Furthermore, it has been forecasted that solar energy will become the future source of energy while fossil fuels, specifically oil and coal, would be completely used up. Solar photovoltaic systems, solar thermal systems, and solar energy centre are some of the means of generating solar energy. ANERT is the major Government agency in the field of non conventional energy in Ernakulam district.Now the solar power generated can be adjusted with KSEB grid.

Consumption pattern (solar energy) Category Installed Capacity 2015-16 2016 -17 Domestic 1381KWp(program started 1285KWp on 2012) Commercial 385KWp 556KWp Agriculture 0 0 Industry 100KWp 50KWp c) Power transmission network; Electric power is normally generated at 11-25 KV in a power station. To transmit over long distances, it is then stepped-up to 400KV, 220KV or 132KV. Power is carried through a transmission network of high voltage lines. Usually, these lines run into hundreds of kilometers and deliver the power into a common power pool called the grid. The grid is connected to load centers (cities) through a sub-transmission network of normally 33KV (or sometimes 66KV) lines. These lines terminate into a 33KV (or 66KV) substation, where the voltage is stepped-down to 11KV for power distribution to load points through a distribution network of lines at 11KV and lower.

The power network, which generally concerns the common man, is the distribution network of 11KV lines or feeders downstream of the 33KV substation. Each 11KV feeder which emanates from the 33KV substation branches further into several subsidiary 11KV feeders to carry power close to the load points (localities, industrial areas, villages, etc.,). At these load points, a transformer further reduces the voltage from 11KV to 415V to provide the last-mile connection through 415V feeders (also called as Low Tension (LT) feeders) to individual customers, either at 240V (as single-phase supply) or at 415V (as three-phase supply). A feeder could be either an overhead line or an underground cable. In

Prepared & Submitted by District Industries Centre,Eranakulam 33 Industrial Potential Survey of Ernakulam District urban areas, owing to the density of customers, the length of an 11KV feeder is generally up to 3 km. On the other hand, in rural areas, the feeder length is much larger (up to 20 km). A 415V feeder should normally be restricted to about 0.5-1.0 km. unduly long feeder’s lead to low voltage at the consumer end.

The Load Dispatch Station is situated at Kalamassery. Real-time data from the generating stations and sub-stations are obtained in the Load Dispatch Station through Power Line Carrier Communication Network (PLCC). Depending on the load condition, generators in various power stations are synchronized and loaded to meet the varying load requirements. Ernakulam district has the following power transmission network.

CHAPTER IV INDUSTRIAL SCENARIO The rate of industrial development is highly correlated to the employment rate as this sector plays important role in creating sustainable job opportunities. The productive activity involved attributes to employment generating activities. In short the industrial development is essential for the development of the nation. It is linked to all other sectors viz. primary and tertiary sectors. Thus, industrialization is linked to modernization of agriculture, development of science and technology, entrepreneurship, self reliance in defence production, successful international trade, and efficient utilization of natural resources, alleviation of poverty and unemployment and increase in per capita income and standard of living of the people. With all the existing facilities, the State has been taking all its efforts for industrial development by developing various promotional schemes and utilizing the central schemes. Micro, small and medium industries in the State have major role in creating employment opportunities. The schemes implemented by Ministry of MSME, Govt. of India for the establishment of new MSMEs and growth of existing ones to the international level are as follows: 1) Prime Minister's Employment Generation Programme 2) Micro, Small Enterprises- Cluster Development Programme 3) Credit Guarantee Fund Scheme for Micro and Small Enterprises 4) Performance and Credit Rating Scheme 5) Scheme for Fund for Regeneration of Traditional Industries 6) National Manufacturing Competitiveness Programme The Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises Development Act,2006 framed by the Government to categorise the industrial units as "enterprises" (a new term for the activity involved ,viz manufacturing or service) in terms of the investment in Plant and Machinery in the manufacturing sector and the value of equipments in the case of service sector. The entrepreneur can file Entrepreneur's Memorandum (EM) Part I or Part II accordingly and was optional for other than medium enterprises. In 2015, the Ministry notified under said Act that every MSME unit shall file Udyog Aadhar Memorandum (UAM). UAM replaces the filing of Part I and II. The Government intends to make registration of units easier to the entrepreneurs and the certificate is automatically generated which needs no authentication by the officials. The

Prepared & Submitted by District Industries Centre,Eranakulam 41 Industrial Potential Survey of Ernakulam District entrepreneurs can file UAM on http://udyogaadhaar.gov.in online in their smart phones itself. If they have an Aadhar Number and will instantly get a unique Udyog Aadhar Number (UAN) . The entrepreneur can append assisted filing through District Industries Centres (DICs). The party is supposed to present the supporting documents as and when the General Manager of DIC call for the same. This is a path breaking step to promote Ease- of- Doing business for MSMEs in India. The geographic nature of the State, the MSME sector can contribute the maximum to the process of economic growth, employment generation and rural development. The potentials are to be identified so as to emerge as a strong support to the State's economy. The Directorate of Industries and Commerce of the State Govt act as a facilitator for the industrial promotion and sustainability of MSME sector and traditional industrial sector in the State with the help of Directorates of Handloom & Textiles and Coir. There are around 3 lakhs MSMEs registered in the State with an investment of Rs.19751crores employing around 14 lakhs persons. With the various promotional activities of the Governments, the entire sector has an exponential growth. Ernakulam District is the industrial capital of Kerala due to thepresence of more number of large, medium and small scale Industries. Availability of infrastructure facilities like electricity, fresh water, transportation-road, water, air and rail and fairly long coastal line, banking facilities, proximity to Kochi Port, rail facilities up to Kochi Harbor Terminus, International airport, etc have contributed substantially for the industrial growth of the district.

Registration of MSME units under MSME Act, 2006was increased during 2013-14 and declined in the subsequent years as the registration become optional for the industrial units. As mentioned earlier, the registration process changed during 2015-16 to filing of Udyog Aadhar Memorandum and obtaining Udyog Aadhar Number for the unit. The units can enjoy the Central Government Assistance if and only if this registration process is done. Lack of awareness of the fact and the Govt schemes is another reason for decrease in the number.

4.13 Industrial Cluster Development

Due to several reasons industries of similar activities are seen concentrated in certain area. Such natural cluster can be seen even before centuries in all over the world.Usually these cluster are named with respect to the locality. Thus, a cluster can be defined as a sectoral and geographical concentration of entrprisess especially MSMEs which have common ooportunities and face similar problems.

Industrial clusters are increasingly recognized as an effective means of industrial development and promotion of small and medium sized enterprises. For MSME participants, clusters play an important role in their inclusiveness, technology absorption, efficiency improvement and availability of common resources. The Ministry of MSME adopted the cluster approach as a key strategy for enhancing the productivity and competitiveness as well as capacity building of small enterprises.

CHAPTER V POTENTIAL AREAS/SECTORS IDENTIFIEDIN THE DISTRICT

5.1 Infrastructure Facilitated Growth At present Ernakulam is hailed as the tomorrow’s face of Kerala. The advantages of this district is in fact only in the dreams of the other districts in Kerala. The developmental projects, which are going to be materialized in the district, are one of the factors that make this dream farther away for other districts. The container terminal in Puthu Vypin, LNG terminal, Cruise terminal, Bunkering terminal, Port related special economic zone, the proposed single- buoy mooring facility,Cochin shipyard repair terminal, BPCL expansion project etc…. all these will be having a great push impact upon the economy in the district. Hundreds crores of Rupees are going to be instilled into the district’s economy and the spiraling effect ensuing will be one that can be dreamed of by any other district in India. It is a well-known fact that infrastructure facilities of any region are the main drivers of economic growth and development. Eranakulam, though well endowed with many other aspects, needed these new facilities desperately, to march on to the new heights of development. And it is time being about to get materialized, it is indeed essential to assess the acceleration possibilities and ancillarisation opportunities to channelise the resources to its optimal use. SEZ and Trend of Outsourcing of Manufacturing The SEZ provides opportunity for setting up production units targeted at export market. The most feasible trend is out sourcing the manufacturing jobs. The port can

Industrial Potential Survey of Ernakulam District attempt to create a wider employment-generating scenario in a phased manner, by sourcing outsourced manufacturing. The trend has been proved extremely successful in the suburbs of . For Cochin, the success in sourcing the activity, capitalizing on low cost transportation, storage, relatively lower costs of labor, and communications. The industries like electronics hardware are ideal for assembly in Cochin because of the easy separation of production processes, a relatively small input of capital, and large demands for semiskilled labor. The choice of manufacturing destination abroad is determined by the transportation cost and logistic facilities. In order to bring down the cost of transportation the manufacturing destination should be within the periphery of the port. However the periphery of a port will be very expensive. Therefore the Vallarpadam based Special Economic Zone (SEZ) proposed will provide the necessary competitive advantage. The Government of India has already declared the Puthuvypin and Vallarpadam areas as Special Economic Zone. The entrepreneurial opportunity exists in identifying potential business units that can come up in the area availing the concessions. The SEZ have contributed to the ushering of an industrial culture and environment in the region .The major economic advantages created due to the establishing of SEZ are rapid employment generation for semiskilled unemployed people, affordability of higher pay levels and transfer of skills and technology from more developed countries.

International Bunkering Terminal A Bunkering Terminal is a facility to sell fuel to vessels calling at a Port or passing near to a port. As the number of vessels visiting a Port increases a modern terminal with large capacity will be required to service the vessels. A terminal consists of a tank farm in which huge volume of fuel is stored, a set of modern barges, which carry the fuel from the tank farm to the vessels, which have demanded fuel and a modern marketing system. The fuel is either imported or sourced from Indian refineries. On one hand, with the establishment of International Container Transshipment Terminal at Vallarpadam, Bunkering Terminal highly benefits the shipping lines calling at the Port and on the other hand, adds to the Port’s revenue and employment generation in the vicinity. The position at Vallarpadam of Cochin Port being in the middle zone of long voyages between the East and West, the convenience of midpoint bunkering can enable the ships to commence voyages at less than full fuel load and carry more merchandise instead. Nature and potential of industrial opportunities from bunkering terminal Activity Potential of industry i. Bunkering Import of high quality fuel Barge operations to supply to vessel Storage tank operations involving tank maintenance security Inland transport through smaller barges for supplies ii. Lube oil supply Storage and supply Import of Lube oil iii. De- slopping Chemical treatment of waste oil/liquids from a vessel – initiate setting up of medium scale slopping units iv.

International Cruise Terminal The cruise terminal is a facility to receive large cruise vessel. Cruise is a highly developing market where large amount of financially up-market tourists travel in highly luxurious cruise ships around preferred global destinations. There is increasing tendency for the cruise vessels from North America, Atlantic and even East Asian countries to visit emerging tourist destinations like Kerala. Therefore providing adequate infrastructure to receive such large vessels which carry over 1000 to 2500 passengers will go a long way in enhancing employment in the tourist service market. As Kerala is maintaining a remarkable growth in Tourism sector during the last few years, the cruise terminal provide large number of employment and there is possibility of developing ancillary projects like Food Court, Marine Park, Transit service to inland along with the cruise terminal. The cruise season is restricted from November to May i.e., 7 months or at the most 9 months. Aggressive marketing and promotional campaign coupled with provision of services of international standards can lead to increasing the number of cruise arrivals. During the off-season the cruise terminal can find business utility as a convention centre and a shopping mall. Thus the cruise terminal can carve a niche in the tourism industry by hosting to the conventions and conference, which has a tremendous market in Kerala. Cruise Terminal Opportunities

LNG Terminal,

Eloor, situated 17 km north of the city, is an island of 11.21 km2 and is the largest industrial belt in Kerala. There are more than 247 industries viz. Fertilisers and Chemicals Travancore (FACT), Travancore Cochin Chemicals, Indian Rare Earths Limited, Hindustan Insecticides Limited and many others manufacturing a range of products like chemical-petrochemical products, pesticides, rare earth elements, rubber processing chemicals, fertilizers, zinc/chromium compounds and leather products.

But, the cost of production in such industries has become too high for competitive manufacture. These industries are now competing against industries using LNG as a working fuel. LNG prices are 33 per cent less than that of naphtha today. The ancillary activities depending on the working of major industries are also affected adversely. In this context the establishing an LNG terminal at Puthuvypu will be helpful to the industrial development in the Ernakulam district.

The switching over to the use of LNG must bring in the reduction in the cost of power. This should help the sustenance of small and medium scale industries in Kerala where the high cost of power is a major weakness for entrepreneurship. Potentials of LNG Terminal

Low fuel The increasing turnover of FACT can give rise to more demand for transportation cost and more turnover for the suppliers to FACT Medium scale industries especially manufacturing Chemical can come up with working fuel as LNG Low Industries handicapped by high cost of power can function with more cost power competitiveness through in house generation of power/cluster generation of cost power using LNG

The International Ship Repair Facilities The ships require mandatory special survey repair work for obtaining sea- worthiness certificate (classification) every three/ five years under supervision of the classification societies. This work is extensive and involves 20-30 days to complete. The older ships require comparatively more time. For the proposed yard in Cochin, this is perceived as a good market. Ship repair is labour intensive as it is difficult to automate much of the work that is done. Skilled work is major component of the repairing process . The Cochin suburb has reasonably good human skill level- thanks to the proximity of Cochin shipyard. As part of development of ICTT, Vallarpadam, setting up of a Ship Repair Yard for the repairs of Ocean going Vessels capitalizing on advantages like location near to International Sea route, proximity to the International Airport, availability of facilities for all official clearances like Customs, Immigration, and the moderate climate of a natural harbor, will provide immense opportunities to the industrial sector.

Enhancement of Maritime Service Demand

The arrival of large number of LNG vessel can increase demand for various maritime services and agencies providing these facilities can be established in Cochin. Some of the potentials related are given below: Potentials engender from maritime service demand Serial Activity Potentials No 1 SHIP CHANDELERING Ship chandelering refers to estimating the demand of provisions other than fuel for a visiting ship and providing them at rates so economical that the agent would be tempted to purchase supplies from this Port for a long spell of the voyage. Provisions like grains, sugar, vegetable oil, bread, condensed milk, egg, meat are likely to be indented from ship chandlers located in Cochin Port 2 SECURITY A systematic security system will be required for the ship in berth and the regassification terminal and tank forms 3 CONDITION There will be demand for setting up agencies ASSESSMENTS/CERTIFICATION to certify the carrier worthiness of the tanks and the seaworthiness of the vessel. 4 MINOR REPAIRS TO In view of the high degree of corrosion for SHIPS/PIPELINES metal parts, there will be demand for minor repairs and replacement to ships gear, cargo carrying apparatus and pipelines. Entrepreneurs can set up small scale or medium scale metal molding industries to meet the demands.

The Kochi International Marina

The Kochi International Marina is a marina in the city of Kochi. It is located in the eastern coast of the Bolgatty Island (one of the islands part of the city of Kochi), in the premises of the , a 'heritage hotel'.

The Kochi Marina is the only marina in India. It is owned by the Kerala Tourism Development Corporation. The marina provides berthing facility for yachts and also offers services like fuel, water, electricity and sewage pump-outs for boats. The marina is close to the international maritime route at the south west coast of the Indian Peninsula, with favorable conditions and minimum tidal variations throughout the year.

The marina will have facilities to repair yachts and for filling fuel and food items. Facilities like golf course, swimming pool, spa, health club, and restaurant and beer parlour will also be provided for the sailors.

Floating docks built on concrete beams is the major attraction of the project. A board walk - wooden structure protruding into the back waters in order to facilitate other tourists to see the yachts has also been arranged.

Additional 16 docks would be added in the next phase and additional facilities would be provided on 2 acres of reclaimed land adjacent to the island. This will create opportunities in the following fields:

1. Repair and service of yachts

2. Tourism

3. Health Services Entrepreneurs can set up small or medium scale units related to these fields. Potential related to Cochin International Airport Cochin International Airport at Nedumbassery offers facilities like 2,00,000 square feet fully air-conditioned domestic and international terminals, a long runway, taxiways, apron, navigational aids, technical block, control tower, refuelling facility and sophisticated fire-fighting and other safety facilities required to accommodate heavy aircraft like Boeing 747. An Aeropoly and Aircraft Maintenance Station are also being developed by CIAL.

Aeropoly is a State-of-the-art industrial, urban and social infrastructure project. The project is proposed to be the centre for intensive businesses and related enterprises, clusters of business parks, logistics parks, industrial parks and a township centred on a Multi-model hub to link the airport with five modes of transport such as road, rail, sea, inland waterway and air.

If this project of CIAL comes into reality, there is abundant scope in the field of Logistics, IT&ITEs, aviation and aeronautical engineering. There is scope for starting ancillary industrial units related to aviation and aeronautical engineering.

Cochin International Avation Services Ltd (CIASL) is a wholly owned subsidiary of Cochin International Airport Authority (CIAL) envisions creating and developing a full

-fledged Aircraft Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul facility in Cochin to provide high quality services at most competitive cost.

The aviation industry in Cochin is one of the most dynamic sectors. The rising number of low-cost airlines has unlocked new opportunities in the country. This will provide new opportunities to the MSME sector, in the fields –

1. Electrical & Electronics 2. Information Technology 3. General Engineering Infrastructure facilitated growth owing to new operations in ICTT, Vallarpadam SEZ related to this, International Bunkering Terminal, LNG terminal, and ship repair facilities, The Kochi Marina, The International Airportcan generate to a greater extent both forward and backward linkages. This would help in opening up new avenues for MSME sector inter alia helps to increase the competitive efficiency of this sector. Definitely this will pave the way for reduction in sickness and closure among the MSMEs. The multiplier and accelerator impact of this growth process in terms of industrial growth, employment and income growth is very difficult visualize in the short run. But the amplitude of such a growth process is very wide and dynamic. 5.2 Potential MSEs for Ernakulam District Ernakulam is a fast developing district with high potential for an amplified growth in almost every field. The new developmental projects, which are being materialized in the district, will give a new form for the growth of the district. Along with the above mentioned projects the authorities and investors need to tap the complementarities in the district. There is enough scope for promoting agro-based industries for both domestic and foreign markets. The facilities in the various industrial parks, special economic zone and air-cargo division shall be exploited to promote exports. The linkage should be extended to agro-processing and agro-business activities. It is important to capitalize the complementarities between agriculture and industry. a) Food Processing Industries Food processing industry gels very well with the conditions in Ernakulam because of its intrinsic characteristics. First of all it helps in striking the balance between agriculture and industry. Secondly the low capital intensity and low working capital

5.5 General issues raised by the MSMEs

 Specific Industrial Zones are required and land should be demarcated for the purpose with facilities enjoyed by Special Economic Zone status.  Common Effluent Treatment Plant should be constructed in all industrial development areas/plots.  Development of Infrastructural facilities of Industrial Development area with the assistance of master plan  Cluster Parks should be set up  Procedures in financial institutions is to be more entrepreneur friendly.  Problems with transportation of raw materials and finished products of paint manufacturers in small & micro sectors.  Kerala State Electricity Board has dispended with the execution of LT agreement up to 150 KVA even for LT IV Industrial Consumers who has obtained service connection before 02-03-2005  A State level Industrial Protection Policy should be formulated.  According to the act of Legal Metrology Department, the firm should obtain the license within 3 months of incorporation.In the initial phase minor penalty is to be imposed in the case of defaulties,now heavy penalty is there.  Interest rate for MSME sector is to be lowered.  The period is to be enhanced to six months to categorise the unit as NPA.

5.6 SUGGESTIONS Having identified the potential sectors with competitive advantages and adaptability, in order to promote them, the policy interventions should be very carefully planned.An important point to be emphasized is that industrial development is a synergic process and therefore requires participation of government, non-governmental development agencies, financial intermediaries and entrepreneurs themselves.  Maintain of the quality of road connectivity and allied transportation infrastructure – comes under government policy.  Measures to improve the Credit Deposit ratio – government policies with the co-operation of financial institutions.  Training, technological advancement and minimization of transaction costs – technology bank / institutionalize the process of technology transfer – should be materialized fruitfully by the Industries Department through various programmes like Industry-University Linkage Programme including Technology Incubation Centers  Promotion of cluster culture and inter-industry co-operation.  Preference for identified priority sectors

More Incubation Centers in different sectors are to be developed to support the new upcoming entrepreneurs. IT knowledge and internet of things has greater scope.

5.7 STRATEGY&IMPLEMENTATION

 Cluster formation – mainly for traditional industries and mini cluster formation may meet the demand rather than individual enterprise.  Entrepreneurship Development Programmes  Investment Drives – for speedy loan disbursement  Helping the new entrepreneur’s to setup ancillary units for the existing industrial units.

5.8 CONCLUSION

The potential for the development of the MSME Sector are there in the district. Lack of proper credit flow and modern infrastructure facilities may slow down the growth. Awareness among people on modern technology, new policies and various schemes of the Governments can create entrepreneur friendly atmosphere in the district and there by accelerate the industrial growth and the economy of the State.
