1 Project need Many major world cities have segregated traffic flows with ring road
and bypass road projects. The city of Amaravati is surrounded by
business centres (Vijayawada, Guntur, Tenali, Nuzvid etc.) which have
further connections to the important industrial zones and business
areas in Bangalore, Chennai and Hyderabad. The region is also
endowed with natural resources (forests, hills, water bodies etc.),
religious places and heritage sites which attract a large influx of
tourists every year. As the city grows, large-scale freight movement
and tourist inflows might disrupt the free flow of traffic, and hence
the need for an outer ring road.

Project development will be under the EPC / PPP framework.
Metro projects in India have demonstrated return on
equity of around 8% - 9%, with a combination of
government grant support and multilateral funding options.
MRT projects are capital-intensive and long gestation
projects and hence require concessional and long-term loan
options
The Government of India has accorded Infrastructure status
to metro projects. This opens up access to incentives such as
a higher limit on external commercial borrowing, lower lend
ing rates, tax holidays, lower import duties, and financial
assistance from specialised institutions
1 Project need Andhra Pradesh is one of the biggest tourist destinations in India,
and ranks third for tourist numbers. To promote further tourism,
a scenic route between Amaravati and Vijayawada has been planned
along the Krishna River. This riverfront development will link three of
the theme cities Finance City, Sports City and the Tourism City.
The Finance City will be the economic centre with two iconic
towers. The Sports City will have large stadiums, arena and event
venues for international-scale sports events. The Tourism City will be
connected to all the tourist sites around the Krishna river, including
the religious tourism circuit. High-density commercial and mixed-use
development is planned along the waterfront, which will make
infrastructure development and businesses more viable. Distinctive
high-density residential developments have also been planned
along the waterfront.

1 Project need City authorities in India are facing a variety of issues relating to
public utilities, including thefts, high maintenance costs, outages,
and damage caused by natural events like excessive rainfall and
extreme weather. As a world-class smart city, Amaravati has
planned to overcome these problems by constructing an under
ground utility duct tunnel along all its major roads. This will reduce
the initial capital costs and provide rapid access to all utilities for
repair and maintenance without the need for access trenches, which
can also cause damage to adjacent infrastructure. Duct tunnels will
also allow the accurate mapping of utility cables, provide greater
resilience to cyclones and flooding, reduce maintenance costs, and
improve the appearance of the surrounding area.
4 Project details Construction of 306km of utility duct tunnels along the arterial and
sub-arterial roads of the capital city. This is likely to include optical

Amaravati is one of the cities selected by the central
government for the Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban
Transformation (AMRUT). This will provide funds for urban
utility projects
1 Project need During the monsoon season, some of the low-lying areas in the
capital city are prone to flooding. 13,500 acres of this area are
affected by draining from the Kondaveeti Vagu canal, and about
10,600 acres are within the planning area of the city. Storm water
runoff is estimated at about 3.84 TMC. 80% of the surface run-off
in the capital city is not used, but merely discharged to the sea
via the Krishna River. As the catchment area is developed, the
surface run-off volumes and speeds are expected to increase
significantly, causing more flooding and the water will be wasted.
The detention ponds proposed under this project could provide
temporary storage for storm water run-off, and help prevent
flooding, while also providing a new source of raw water.
1 Project need Municipal Sewage projections are made assuming that 80% of an
areas potable water consumed daily will be collected as sewage.
Industrial sewage waste is estimated as 80% of the potable water
consumed and a 10% infiltration rate. The sewage waste projected
for Amaravatis municipal and industrial activities is 445 MLD and
53.7 MLD respectively. There is currently no formal sewerage system
within the capital city, and there is therefore a need for a waste water
collection and treatment system.

1 Project need The city of Amaravati will need 610 MLD of water by 2050.
This includes demand from residential, industrial, commercial,
institutional and other sectors, as identified in the Amaravati city
master plan. Currently the source of water supply is ground water
reserves, being extracted on an adhoc basis to meet the needs
of 10 million people in the villages of the catchment area. However,
the ground water reserves would not be sufficient to meet the rising
demand of Amaravati city. With that in mind, the plan is to source
additional water from the Krishna river and surface run-off from Kon
daveeti Vagu canal. The project would be developed in phases and
the immediate demand would be for 260 MLD.

1 Project need Growth in Amaravati city is being driven by its excellent transport
connections to local and global markets. However, last-mile
connectivity still needs to be provided to connect the city centre to
the nearest transport hubs. The city can draw on skilled labour from
Vijayawada, as long as there are good transport links between the
cities. It is also important to provide connectivity to the industrial
clusters planned for the Amaravati region to enable trade. Two
urban expressways are planned to do this. These expressways will
also connect the city to the nearest national highways, railway
junctions, airport, Vijayawada city, providing road connections
along the fringe of the city and allowing through-traffic to bypass
the capital city centre.

for the natural environment. Many parts of India have seen
environmental degradation such as contaminated water, sinking
groundwater levels, unhealthy soils, and polluted air. Amaravati is
likely to generate municipal and industrial solid waste of 2,018
tons/day and 255 tons/day respectively. At present, the waste
generated from the surrounding region is transported and dumped
in the open without treatment, causing environmental problems.
Amaravati city will be implementing an urban solid waste
management system to address this issue.
1 Project need The health infrastructure in the capital region is currently inadequate
for the existing population, and below global benchmarks: the
number of hospital beds for every 1,000 people is 0.4 as against
7, and the number of doctors is 0.3 as against 4.5. The number
of hospitals per 250,000 people is 0.6 as against 1. Over 15,000
government employees and associated staff are expected to move
to Amaravati city in mid-2016, which will mean an even greater
demand for quality and affordable healthcare. The new capital city
also aspires to become a leader in the healthcare sector, and has
identified healthcare as one of its focus sectors. A Health City
of 2,585 hectares has been planned in the capital and land has
been reserved throughout the city for healthcare infrastructure.
A medical academy and research centres are planned in the capital,
providing access to a talented workforce. Leading institutions like
AIIMS and the Indo-UK Institute of Health have already shown
interest in setting up hospitals in the capital.

5 Development and 100% FDI is allowed in hospitals through the Automatic
71
investment opportunity route. The prior approval of the Government of India is not
required.
Development projects can also be done under Public-Private
Partnership (PPP) framework, where the private partner
usually develops and operates the project on a Build
Operate and Transfer (BOT) basis.. The return on equity for
such projects varies depending on the degree of private
sector involvement. The return on equity in such projects
could be a minimum of 18% 20%.
The Government of India has accorded Infrastructure
status to hospitals. This opens up access to incentives such
as a higher limit on external commercial borrowing, lower
lending rates, tax holidays, lower import duties, and financial
assistance from specialised institutions
The total FDI in the hospitals sector in the last ten years
was 650 million. The government gives priority to
proposals such as hospitals, life-saving drugs, and
equipment.
1 Project need The Vizag Chennai Industrial Corridor (VCIC) is a key part of the
planned East Coast Economic Corridor, Indias first coastal corridor
which aims to improve economic activity in Andhra Pradesh.
The VCIC corridor is aligned with the Golden Quadrilateral and will
play a critical role in driving Indias new Act East Policy and
Make in India policy. The corridor will support Andhra Pradeshs
efforts to grow its manufacturing sector and create high-quality jobs.
4 Project details As a part of the VCIC, several projects have been identified to ease
congestion and make it easier to do business in the state. These
include ports, airports, roads, railways, and urban utilities.
4 Project details The airport will be built on 5,300 acres in and around Bhogapuram,
Annex - 1
including 1,673 acres of government land. The airport will be part
of an aerotropolis, which will also have a maintenance, repair and
overhaul facility (MRO), along with an aviation academy.

The project will be developed under the EPC/Public Private
Partnership (PPP) framework where the private partner
73
usually develops and operates the project on a Build -
Operate and Transfer (BOT) basis. The return on equity
for such projects is typically between 18% and 20%.
The Government of India has accorded Infrastructure
status to airports. This opens up access to incentives such
as a higher limit on external commercial borrowing, lower
lending rates, tax holidays, lower import duties, and financial
assistance from specialised institutions.
1 Project need India has an extensive network of inland waterways which is currently
under-utilised for cargo. Less than 2% of cargo is moved this way,
compared to 45% in Europe. India wants to tap this huge potential
by developing six inland waterways. The National Waterway
4 project is 1,095 km, with 888 km of that in Andhra Pradesh,
connecting Kakinada to Pondicherry through the Krishna river,
Godavari river, canals and tanks. It is the second longest waterway
of India and will help reduce the cost of freight transport in Andhra
Pradesh, as well as easing congestion on the roads and railways.
Around 11 million tons of cargo is expected to be transported
through the NW-4 every year, including coal, cement, fertiliser
and food grains (rice, wheat, cereals). These account for significant
road and rail traffic in Andhra Pradesh at present.
