Population & Employment Estimates

Employment Generation
Direct employment to be engaged in industries was calculated from sector wise ratios for workers
per hectare. As per the Final Development Plan, direct employment generated from Industries
proposed is around 1.25 lakhs employees. The indirect employment from commercial, institutional
and informal sectors is assumed to be 1:1.44 (as per UDPFI) of the direct employment. The total
employment (both direct & indirect), by the proposed industrial area and non-industrial setups is
projected to be about 3.04 lakhs.

Parameter Estimated Number

Direct Employment 125,000
Indirect Employment 179,500
Total Employment 304,500

Floating Employment
As per the Final Development Plan, out of the total employment generated in SIR, about 80% is
proposed to reside within SIR developed residential area, while the rest 20% is assumed as the
floating population.

Parameter Estimated Number

Floating Employment (20%) 60,900
Residing Employment (80%) 243,600
Total Employment (100%) 304,500

11
 Preliminary Electrical Network Planning for MBSIR

Population Supported by MBSIR

An average family size of 3 was considered for each employment generated considering Gujarat
Dependency ratio of 1:2. It was also assumed that the Gamtal population was likely to increase at a
faster growth rate due to the induced economic growth by the MBSIR and hence the rural
population projected for 2040 was about 0.17lakh (considering the Annual Growth Rate of 0.82% as
per the Conceptual Master Plan Report for MBSIR). As per the Final Development Plan, the residing
population in the SIR shall be around 7.29 lakhs and the total population that will be supported by
MBSIR shall be around 9.11 lakhs by 2040.

Parameter Estimated Number

Residing Population (2040) 729,200
Gamtal Population (2040) 17,000
Floating Population dependent on MBSIR (2040) 182,300
Total Population Supported by MBSIR (2040) 911,500

3.0 RECONNAISSANCE SITE VISIT

Existing Power Network

At present, the power is supplied to 8 villages by UGVCL and 24 hrs power supply is
available to the existing villages. MSIL has established facility within MBSIR-Cluster - A
(near Hansalpur Village) and a UGVCL has constructed substation to provide power supply
of around 90MVA. Also Honda (a two wheeler company)has established facility near MBSIR-
Cluster A (outside) and UGVCL has provided power supply for the same. Honda Plant
required around 12MVA and UGVCL has provided infrastructure to support upto 14.5MVA.

4.0 APPROACH METHODOLOGY & WORK PLAN

To achieve the objective of making provision of utilities duct within the proposed RoW
various parameters and consideration needs to be taken or formed before finalizing the
design. Population estimation, demand calculations, technology assessment and
requirement of service provider needs to be assessed.

The utilities which required to be put under the proposed RoW under the ducts are Power,
ICT and GAS. Below are the broad methodology to assess the space requirement and
provision underneath the RoW.

Figure 9 : Work Plan

15
 Preliminary Electrical Network Planning for MBSIR

Power Supply
To provide the infrastructure for power transmission and distribution, the demand needs to
be calculated. The proposed land use distribution plays a critical role in calculation of power
demand. The power demand for residential areas will be calculated based on the population
estimation. The power demand for remaining land uses (i.e. Industrial, Logistics etc.) will be
calculated based on the area designated.
Once the demand is estimated, physical infrastructure requirement will be worked out to
assess the number of 400/220kV sub stations, 220/66kV sub stations and number of
66/11kV substation for both the clusters of MBSIR. This will also guide to determine the size
of duct required under the various RoWs for power distribution will be done during the
preliminary design.
