This document provides an overview of the operational and financial mechanisms of some of the significant ongoing and proposed infrastructure programs like Smart Cities Mission, Industrial Corridors, Dedicated Railway Freight Corridors, Inland Waterways, Bharatmala and Sagarmala Programme. It also maps several projects financed by International Financial Institutions (IFIs) as well as bilateral agencies providing support to these mega projects in the country. It maps infrastructure projects financed by IFIs such as the WB, ADB, AIIB, IFC as well as bilateral agencies like Japan Bank for International Cooperation (JBIC) and Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) across various sectors in India. It includes investments in sectors such as transport, roads and highways, metros, electric vehicles, smart cities, waterways, water, industrial corridor, urban, power plants, transmission lines and distribution systems, solar parks, housing, climate resilience, railway freight corridor, port expansions and others. - 4 - Infrastructure Projects Financing Mapping The mapping document shows that increasingly the investments by these institutions/ agencies are to the financial intermediaries such National Investment and Infrastructure Fund (NIIF), IFC Emerging Asia Fund, India Infrastructure Fund, India Infrastructure Finance Company Limited, Tamil Nadu Infrastructure Fund Management Company Limited and others. The mapping document details the sector-wise investment trends which are given a push through the investments from the MDBs and bilateral agencies. Though the amounts given might look small in comparison to the overall project expenditure estimates and the long timelines for infrastructure projects. Nevertheless, these investments look to provide the initial capital to conceptualise projects and build a credible pipeline of such projects to attract private investors. The MDBs and bilateral agencies also intervene in policy spaces to influence the policies that could have an impact on the investments in specific sectors. The document and the mapping exercise are work in progress. We intend to keep updating this document whenever we get more information on the projects, their implementation, financiers and financing mechanisms. - 5 - Infrastructure Projects Financing Mapping INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT IN INDIA The focus on infrastructure sector as a key driver for the Indian economy has been underlined repeatedly. It is highlighted that the sector would be responsible for propelling India’s overall development and it enjoys intense focus from Government for initiating policies that would ensure time-bound creation of world class infrastructure in the country. Infrastructure sector includes power generation and transmission, highways, ports, bridges, dams, industrial zones, railway freight corridors, inland waterways and urban infrastructure development, which includes smart cities, housing, water supply and sanitation. Infrastructure has been defined on the Merriam Webster as – “the system of public works of a country, state, or region also the resources (such as personnel, buildings, or equipment) required for an activity, the underlying foundation or basic framework (as of a system or organisation), the permanent installations required for military purposes”. Infra- means "below;" so the infrastructure is the "underlying structure" of a country and its economy, the fixed installations that it needs to function. These include roads, bridges, dams, the water and sewer systems, railways and subways, airports, and harbours. railways and subways, airports, and harbours. These are generally government-built and publicly owned. airports, and harbours. These are generally government-built and publicly owned.1 Types of Infrastructure Infrastructure can be categorised into: Soft Infrastructure: These types of infrastructure make up institutions that help maintain the economy. These usually require human capital and help deliver specific services to the - 6 - 1 Merriam-Webster, Infrastructure definition, source URL: https://www.merriam- webster.com/dictionary/infrastructure#other-words Infrastructure Projects Financing Mapping population. Examples of soft infrastructure include the healthcare system, financial institutions, governmental systems, law enforcement, and education systems. Hard Infrastructure: These make up the physical systems that make it necessary to run a modern, industrialised nation. Examples of hard infrastructure include roads, highways, bridges, as well as the capital/assets needed to make them operational (transit buses, vehicles, oil rigs/refineries). Critical Infrastructure: These are assets defined by a government as being essential to the functioning of a society and economy. Examples of this include facilities for shelter and heating, telecommunication, public health, agriculture, etc.2. According to the Government of India’s Economic Survey 2017-18 - “to ensure high and sustainable growth, there has been a substantial increase in investment in transportation, energy, communication, housing and sanitation, and urban infrastructure sector. However, the Global Infrastructure Outlook observes that rising income levels and economic prosperity is likely to further drive demand for infrastructure investment in India over the next 25 years. Till 2040, India needs around investments worth USD 4.5 trillion to develop infrastructure to improve economic growth and community wellbeing. The current trend shows that India can meet around USD 3.9 trillion infrastructure investment out of USD 4.5 trillion. The cumulative figure for India’s infrastructure investment gap would be around USD 526 billion by 2040”. 3 The Economic Survey, 2017 -18, adds that – “there was massive underinvestment in the infrastructure sector until recently. The reasons behind the shortfall were the collapse of PPPs, especially in power and telecom projects; stressed balance sheets of private companies; and issues related to land and forest clearances. The need of the hour is to fill the infrastructure investment gap by financing from private investment, institutions dedicated for infrastructure financing like National Infrastructure Investment Bank (NIIB) and also global institutions like Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB), New Development Bank (erstwhile BRICS Bank) which focuses more on sustainable development projects and infrastructure projects”. The Survey further discusses the details of estimated requirements and budget outlays for various sectors required to build such infrastructure in roads transport and highways, 2 Investopedia, Infrastructure, source URL: https://www.investopedia.com/terms/i/infrastructure.asp 3 Ministry of Finance, Economic Survey 2017-18, source URL: - 7 - http://mofapp.nic.in:8080/economicsurvey/pdf/120-150_Chapter_08_Economic_Survey_2017- 18.pdf Infrastructure Projects Financing Mapping railways, metro rail systems, civil aviation, shipping, Sagarmala and Bharatmala projects, Inland waterways, telecom, power and energy, logistics, petroleum and natural gas, and housing for all.

  • Capacity Building
    Kudumbashree Writeshop K B Sudheer, SMM (SM & ID) CAPACITY BUILDING What is Capacity Building? Capacity Building (CB) is a process by which individuals and organizations obtain, improve, and retain the skills, knowledge, tools, equipment and other resources needed to do their jobs competently or to a greater capacity (larger scale, larger audience, larger impact, etc). Capacity building is a conceptual approach to social, behavioural change and leads to infrastructure development. It simultaneously focuses on understanding the obstacles that inhibit people, governments, or any non-governmental organizations (NGOs), from realizing their development goals and enhancing the abilities that will allow them to achieve measurable and sustainable results. Human resources in any organizations are a key determinant of its success and are often the “face” of the organization to its stakeholders and collaborators. Maintaining a well-trained, well-qualified human resource is a critical function of the management. Kudumbashree also believes in capacity building of its staff for strengthening the skills, competencies and abilities of people and communities in the organisation so they can achieve their goals and potentially overcome the causes of their exclusion and suffering. Organizational capacity building is used by Kudumbashree to guide their organisational development and also personal growth of its personnel. Capacity Building helps in methods of CB. • Ensuring an organization’s clarity of mission – this involves evaluating an organization’s goals and how 1.

  • The Urban Learning Internship Program

It is a challenge, but also a huge responsibility and opportunity. ” “India’s Yuva Shakti is excelling in every sphere of activity. With holistic efforts, our Government is creating the right ecosystems where energy, enthusiasm, strong intent and good ideas of our youth power the vision of Self-reliant and Self-sufficient India.” Narendra Modi Prime Minister Urbanisation in India has become an important and irreversible process and is an important determinant of national economic growth and poverty reduction. The process of urbanization is characterized by a dramatic increase in the number of large cities, as India transitions from a predominantly rural to a urban society. The 2030 development agenda of the United Nations has emphasized the role of sustainable cities by incorporating Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) i.e. Sustainable Cities and Communities for making cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable. There are close to 4400 cities and towns in India with around 40 crore inhabitants today. At current rate of growth, urban population in India is estimated to reach 60 crores by 2030. According to Census 2011, as many as 53 cities in India had a million plus population. It is projected that more than 50% of the country’s population will be urban by 2050. It is acknowledged that this transition to a urban society, however, has not been accompanied by a commensurate increase in the supply of basic urban services like water supply, sewerage and drainage network, solid/liquid waste management facilities, city-wide roads, public transport and public safety systems like street lighting and pedestrian pathways.

  • Outcome Budget 2021-2022
    ºÉiªÉàÉä´É VɪÉiÉä GOVERNMENT OF INDIA Outcome Budget 2021-2022 February, 2021 MINISTRY OF FINANCE OUTPUT OUTCOME FRAMEWORK 2021-22 (MAJOR CENTRAL SECTOR & CENTRALLY SPONSORED SCHEMES) Preface Major Expenditure Reforms have been undertaken by the Government over the last few years. This not only includes simplification of appraisal and approval processes, but also structural changes in the process of budget making itself, like doing away with Plan / Non-plan distinction. As a result, the cost-centres are being treated in an integrated manner, within only the statutory revenue capital framework. This enables another major structural reform, which is to bring the public schemes and projects under a monitorable Output-Outcome framework. Since 2017-18, in addition to the financial outlays of schemes of the Ministries being indicated in the Budget document, the expected outputs and outcomes of the schemes are also being presented in a consolidated Outcome Budget document, along with the Budget. These Outlays, Outputs and Outcomes are being presented to the Parliament in measurable terms, bringing-in greater accountability for the agencies involved in the execution of government schemes and projects. Outlay is the amount that is provided for a given scheme or project in the Budget; while Output refers to the direct and measurable product of program activities, often expressed in physical terms or units. Outcomes are the collective results or qualitative improvements brought about in the delivery of these services. The Outcome Budget presents (a) the financial outlay for the year 2021-22 along with (b) clearly defined outputs and outcomes (c) measurable output and outcome indicators and (d) specific output and outcome targets for FY 2021-22.

  • The Journey of Urban India: from Conventional Policy Implementation to Disruptive Transformation
    The journey of urban India: from conventional policy implementation to disruptive transformation Technology has become the prime enabler for Urban Transformation. One of the highlights of Smart City Mission has been promotion of technology for enabling city administration and to enhance efficiency and cost optimization. As a result, the urban sector witnessed a tremendous influx of technology in non- conventional areas. This report “The Urban Saga: From Conventional Policy Implementation to Disruptive Transformation” talks about the shift in the urban ideology from traditional and conventional methods of policy implementation to a disruptive transformation. Digital data is the pivot of the urban transformation process. Data “ has been regarded with paramount importance in the process of planning history in India. However, the Smart Cities Mission revolutionized the premise of data utilized for operations monitoring and decision-making of city administrations. Under the contemporary Urban Transformation Approach, cross-functional integration transcends beyond conventional boundaries to explore institution of new specialized establishments like Special Purpose Vehicles and Public-Private Partnerships. The report focuses on some of the key transformations happening in the urban space in India. The new approach has resulted in Foreword formulating innovative models which result in cost optimization and better monitoring of projects. Amidst all the technological transformation going on, the role of citizens, industry, NGOs and academia are also experiencing a change. The report also highlights the changing role of cities and the citizens in the policy formulation process and valuable insights about the ongoing urban transformation with data, technology and digital disruption at the core. I hope you will find this report interesting and informative.
