Appendix-IV- Major factors for delay 264 Appendix-V- Summary of the Central Sector Projects in States/UTs 265 (as on 30.09.2006) FOREWORD The Quarterly Project Implementation Status Report on the Central Sector Projects (each costing Rs.20 crore and above) for the quarter July-September, 2006 covers 860 projects. It provides information on 66 mega projects (each costing Rs.1,000 crore and above), 418 major projects (each costing between Rs.100 crore and Rs. 1000 crore ) and 376 medium projects (each costing between Rs.20 crore and Rs. 100 crore). The anticipated cost of these 860 projects is Rs. 3,84,686 crore. The total expenditure till 30.09.2006 was Rs.1,45,723 crore, which is about 37.88% of the total estimated cost. Against an approved outlay of Rs.42,983 crore for the year 2006-07, the expenditure up to the end of the 2nd quarter is Rs.22,484 crore. Major and Mega projects account for about 56.28% of the total number of projects and about 94.93% of the total anticipated cost. At the beginning of the year 2006-07, 182 projects were scheduled for completion during the year. 100 projects which are scheduled for completion by March, 2007 were added. Out of the 282 projects due for completion during the year, only 41 projects have been completed and 50 projects have been partially completed. Part I of the Report gives an overview of implementation of projects during the quarter. Part II gives a sectoral analysis and the status of individual projects. 2. Out of a total of 860 projects on our monitor, the approved completion schedules or anticipated Dates of Completion (DOC) have not been indicated in respect of 232 projects. The major chunk of these projects i.e. 187 are in the Railways sector. Sector-wise details of the projects showing status w.r.t original and latest schedules, for the quarter ending September, 2006 is given below:- Sector wise Implementation Status of Projects with reference to original and latest schedule (Number of Projects) Ahead On Schedule Delayed Without DOC Sector Original Latest Original Latest Original Latest Original Latest ATOMIC ENERGY 2 2 3 3 1 1 0 0 CIVIL AVIATION 0 0 5 5 17 17 2 2 COAL 0 0 58 70 37 25 9 9 FERTILISERS 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 I & B 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 MINES 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 STEEL 0 0 17 17 10 10 0 0 PETROLEUM 1 1 12 12 24 24 3 3 POWER 0 0 37 37 26 26 2 2 HEALTH & FW 0 0 0 0 2 2 0 0 RAILWAYS 0 0 66 68 32 30 187 187 ROAD TRANSPORT & HIGHWAYS 1 1 95 95 87 87 4 4 SHIPPING & PORTS 0 0 9 9 21 21 7 7 TELECOMMUNICATION 0 0 5 5 37 37 15 15 URBAN DEVELOPMENT 0 0 9 9 12 12 1 1 WATER RESOURCES 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 Total 4 4 317 331 307 293 232 232 3. Time and cost overruns have been a major problem affecting the central sector projects. The analysis shows that 307 delayed projects have accounted for a cost over run of Rs. 32,525 crore i.e. 27.25% w.r.t. their original sanctioned cost during the July-September, 2006 quarter. 4. The Chart below depicts the number of projects on schedule with respect to the original approved schedule. Projects on schedule with reference to original schedule 1000 900 860 800 742 700 674 600 568 Total Project 540 469 462 projects on 500 458 454 418 414 schedule 401 371 400 370 317 300 No. of projects 245 200 185 152 148 148 135 131 123 119 120 112 108 100 88 0 1994 1995 1996 1997 1998 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 Years Sept;2006 5. There has been a continuous decline in the extent of time and cost overruns which can be attributed to closer monitoring and system improvements by the Ministries concerned, with the active support of this Ministry. An analysis of cost overruns in the last 16 years with respect to the originally approved cost shows that the cost overrun has declined from 61.6% in March, 1991 to 15.3% in September, 2006 resulting in substantial savings. The chart below gives the trend of cost overrun (with reference to originally approved cost). Trend of Cost Overrun 70 61.6 56.8 57.5 55.8 53.9 60 51.4 46.9 45 50 40.9 37.3 36 36 40 26 30 22.3 22.4 17.7 17.4 15.32 20 %of cost overrun 10 0 1990 1991 1992 1993 1994 1995 1996 1997 1998 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 Sept,2006 Years 6. While the cost overruns due to general inflation cannot be avoided, the escalation on account of delays can be minimized. The institution of Standing Committees in each Ministry to review the time and cost overruns in projects and to fix responsibility, therefore, has to be made more effective. Introduction of a system of furnishing an action taken report on the recommendations of these Committees is necessary. It is proposed that the report of the Standing Committee be appended with the main note for approval of revised cost estimates by the PIB/CCEA. It is hoped that through focused attention and constant monitoring by the administrative Ministries/Departments, the declining trend in time and cost overruns in project implementation can be accelerated.

  • Design and Operations of Indian Railways
    Design and Operations of Indian Railways Dual Degree Dissertation Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements of degree of Master of Technology by Hussain Bharmal (10D170002) Supervisor Prof. Narayan Rangaraj, Dept of Industrial Engineering and Operations Research Department of Mechanical Engineering INDIAN INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY, BOMBAY June 2015 Dedication To Indian Railways, all those train rides across the country have inspired me to contribute. i ii Abstract India has a very high and growing demand for passenger as well as freight trains and there is a need to increase the capacity of existing railway sections to meet this demand. There are sections in the country which are already saturated with extremely congested lines. Better operations (if possible) of these sections is also imperative. This thesis is divided into the following parts: Understanding different signaling technologies in railway systems and their impact on through- put of the section. The term `capacity' of a section will be understood in detail and its definition shall be adopted differently in different cases. Cab to cab signaling (also called just cab signaling) is a form of signaling in which the train driver has information about the location of the train around it in real time, much like traffic on a road. Strategies as to how this technology should be used if implemented in a real section will be devised, keeping different objectives like latency and headway in mind. In order to do this, an algorithm on how to position automatic signals in order to get minimum headway and the parallels of this with cab signaling shall be explained.
