Fiber grid project in AP to be completed by March 2016
The Andhra Pradesh government has instructed Infrastructure Corporation of Andhra Pradesh Limited to
finish the work on the INR 333 crore, 30,000 km fiber gird in the state by March 2016. It further set the
deadline for the completion of the works in Visakhapatnam, Srikakulam and Vizianagaram for December
this year. The completed grid will make three services - video, internet and telephone - available in the
state. The state government also appreciated the efforts of the Energy Department for lessening
transmission and distribution losses to 10.37 percent and asked for further reduction of losses to 9
percent.
Union Government to award 100 road projects
The Union Government plans to award 100 road projects under the public-private-partnership mode in
the next financial year. The projects would be awarded on the newly conceived hybrid annuity model,
wherein projects will be sanctioned along with land and environment clearances. About 40 percent of the
cost will be borne by the government, while 60 percent will be funded by private players. Of the 60
percent, banks will provide 30 percent of the requirement. With this scheme, the government aims to
bring in private investment worth INR 75,000 crore in the road sector. The new method has been
adopted as investor interest in the sector has reduced due to problems of land acquisition, approvals and
public rebellion to toll collection. In 2015, seven projects worth INR 11,500 crore have already been
awarded.
NHAI to carry out risk measurement
The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) announced that it will carry out risk monitoring before
rolling out projects, in order to avoid delay in project take off, for which tenders would be floated. As a
result, the government is not awarding any highway project unless it has 80 percent of land and the
necessary clearances in place. Projects on engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) basis will
continue to be the mode of delivery of road projects for the next two years so that private investment
can regain confidence. The Union Government aims to push the award of highway projects to 12,000 km
yearly, from the current 8,000 km, at an investment of around INR 5 lakh crore.
RFP for Mopa greenfield airport
The Goa government is likely to float a Request for Proposal (RFP) for the greenfield international airport
at Mopa in north Goa. The first phase of the project will cost about INR 1,800 crore and would be
completed by 2019, to serve 4.9 million passengers. The total cost of the Mopa airport, including six-
laning of the road from the airport to National Highway 17, would be around INR 3,300 crore. The five
companies chosen by state government for the qualification process are Airports Authority of India, GVK,
GMR, Essel Infra and Voluptas Developers. After the RFP is issued, proposals would be submitted by
these firms and the winning firm would operate the airport for 60 years. The successful bidder would also
run an aviation skills development center, along with the state government, to coach local talent for
further aviation and airport linked jobs.

Ashoka Buildcon wins INR 277 crore road project
Major infrastructure firm, Ashoka Buildcon, has won an INR 277 crore road project from the NHAI. The
company has received the Letter of Award from NHAI with regard to the development of the 4-lane
Islampur bypass of 10.31 km on NH-31 in West Bengal, under NHDP Phase-II on EPC basis. The company
has a base of 28 public-private-partnership projects across nine states. It also has a presence in the
power transmission and distribution sector, with several projects in Maharashtra, Chhattisgarh and
Tamil Nadu.
NGT orders PWD to cease work
The National Green Tribunal (NGT) has ordered the Public Works Department (PWD) to cease work on
the third phase of Barapullah elevated road, connecting Sarai Kale Khan with Mayur Vihar, until it gets
environmental clearances. However, according to the PWD, since this phase consists of a bridge over
Yamuna, it is much smaller and thus requires no environmental clearance. The major objection relates to
a ready mix concrete cement plant, which the PWD is setting on the eastern side of the river, and
another one which is already present on the western side. Further, the petitioner has alleged the
dumping of debris on the floodplains. The project is anticipated to be completed by 2017, but it would
be delayed if court insists on environmental clearances.

Telangana to spend INR 405 crore in 11 AMRUT cities
The Telangana government plans to spend INR 405.17 crore to provide water supply in 11 cities in the
state under the Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation (AMRUT) in the current fiscal
year. It has already given a State Annual Action Plan to the Union Urban Development Ministry for
approval. The state government has decided to improve water supply, since supply in the selected cities
is below the stipulated 135 litres per capita per day (LPCD). At present water supply in the state’s
AMRUT cities ranges from 65 LPCD in Ramagundam to 114 LPCD in Greater Hyderabad Municipal
Corporation. Among other mission cities, the water supply position in Mahaboobnagar is 75 LPCD,
Warangal 80 LPCD, Suryapet 90 LPCD, Miryalaguda 90 LPCD, Khamman 100 LPCD, Adilabad 102 LPCD,
Nalgonda 102 LPCD, Nizamabad 108 LPCD and Karimnagar is 109 LPCD. The AMRUT plan incorporates
infrastructure development in 500 cities across the entire count.
