FEASIBILITY OF BANGALORE METRO RAIL PROJECT(NAMMA PROJECT)

By Mr. K.N. Shrivastava Director Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation.

METRO PLANNING – WORLD FACTS All developed countries start planning for a

Metro when the population of the city nears one million mark. By the time the population level reaches two million mark a Metro network is in place.

TYPES OF METRO A Metro can be either underground or elevated

and in case of outskirts of the cities on the ground even. Metros can be :-

Heavy capacity – with a capacity of 60-90,000 phpdt. Medium capacity – with a capacity of 40-50,000

phpdt, or, A light metro with the capacity ranging from 2530,000 phpdt.

When the traffic volume exceeds 12,000 phpdt

it can be handled only by a rail-based Metro System. Metros can be either with pneumatic wheels or steel wheels on steel rails. In either case the traction is by electric energy.

DIFFERENT PHASES:PHASE 1:North-South - Yeshwantpur to R V Road (14.9km) East-West - Mysore Road to Byappanahalli (18.1km)

PHASE 2:North extension - Yeshwantpur to Peenya East extension - Mysore Road to Bangalore University South extension - R V Road to J P Nagar West extension - Byappanahalli to Whitefield

MARKET ANALYSIS  INDUSTRY ANALYASIS AND OUTLOOK  TARGET MARKET STUDY  PRIMARY MARKET SIZE  COMPETITION

INDUSTRY ANALYSIS AND OUTLOOK 1) DESCRIPTION OF INDUSTRY(BANGALORE METRO RAIL CORPORATION) NAMMA METRO:-

Bangalore, the IT Capital of India is bustling with development of infrastructure. The city of Bangalore with a growing population of 6.8 million sued with traffic chaos owing to steep rise in number of private vehicles in the form of two wheelers and cars.  Namma Metro (Our metro) / The Bangalore Metro is the under-construction mass-transit rail system for the city of Bangalore, India. The agency responsible for its implementation is Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Ltd (BMRCL). Navayuga Engineering has been awarded the contract to construct Reach 1 on the East-West line. Five consortia have been short-listed as general consultants for the project. 

2) SIZE OF THE INDUSTRY AND FUTURE GROWTH PROJECTIONS:

The total project outlay was estimated at Rs 6395 crore in 2006.

At present metro project is been projected only till inner ring-roads but in the future it will be expanding to outer ring-roads also.

3) INDUSTRY CHARCTERISTICS AND TRENDS :-

The Bangalore MRTS is essentially a "social" sector project,whose benefits will pervade wide sections of economy. The modified first phase will generate substantial benefits to the economy by the way of: Time saving for commuters Reliable and safe journey Reduction in atmospheric pollution Reduction in accident Reduced fuel consumption Reduced vehicle operating costs Increase in the average speed of road vehicles Improvement in the quality of life

TARGET MARKET STUDY 1)CRITICAL NEEDS OF MARKET AND COMMUTERS  Major commuters need for metro  Best fit for Bangalore metro rail.  Prospective consumers

The first phase of Bangalore Metro, consisting of two corridors of double line electrified, will cover a total of 33 km. The East-West corridor will be 18.10 km. long, Out of the 33 km., 6.76 km. will be underground near City Railway Station.

PRIMARY MARKET SIZE  BEML Ltd has bagged a Rs.1672.50 crore order from Bangalore Metro

Rail Corporation to supply 150 metro rail coaches by October 2010.  BEML, would be assisted by South Korea-based Rotom and Japan-based Melco and Mitsubishi in the manufacture of metro rail coaches . PROSPECTIVE COMMUTERS  Total number of commuters which can use the metro are 45000-50000 per hour  Commuters travel can be much more economical with a proposed fare of 1.33-1.63 times then bus fares.  Annual escalation fares at 4%

FORCASTED ANNUAL SALES Total number of commuters travelling per day: 820,000 Approx metro fare :Rs 7-15 per commuters Annual sales: 820,000 x 15 x 365  :4489500000  : 4.4895 billions

COMPETITION  MARKET SHARES  POTENTIAL COMPETITORS

MARKET SHARES Strong market share the key to winning the next concessioning

contract . It can be achieved by making the travel affordable compared to other modes. Strategy : Actively market Cape Metrorail's service as the preferred mode of public transport within the Cape Metropolitan Area.

How to achieve the huge market share  Improve customer services  Keep an eye on current levels of crime Avoid overcrowding during peak  Lack of systems to manage a fare structure Easily availability of tickets or having a system of E-

ticket.

Action plans to increase the market share..  Promote positive aspects of rail commuting  Train front line staff in customer care  Develop an appropriate advertising campaign  Commission market research to establish customer needs and

expectations  Develop a commercial customer services mindset among staff Promote off-peak, special event and weekend services  Implementation of new technology in communication systems  Introduction of various refreshment schemes  Introduce more parking and ride schemes  Strong branding (as "Metrorail" or any brand )

Potential competitors  The competitors in this project is BMTC, whose market is

going to hamper by the introduction of BMRC.  Private bus corporation is also being effected .  Local auto rickshaws also affected.  India has always been a country of entrepreneurs and there will always be competition which is good.  Competition will drive prices and the public will get better value for whatever they invest in.  There is transparency and openness in the bidding process. Scomi has the best technology which it will deliver at the best possible price.  Bus manufactures,local BMTC and Volvo services are major threats.

BUSINESS STRATEGY AND IMPLEMENTATION A.Growth strategy for Bangalore metro 2. Total growth in earnings . 3. Adjusting Commodity prices. B. COMMUNICATION • Expand editorial contract • Continue journalist lobbying and create one-to-one relationships • Train Middle Managers in media skills

Contd …. • Target groups - editors • Personalise Metrorail to the public (Themba, Management Team) • Identify and implement station level information systems • Launch Regional Stakeholders' Forum • Train staff to make operational info available in real time (on board technology) • Call centre - real time info to be available • Effective notice boards/bill boards with Metrorail info • Weekly and possibly daily newsheet/paper

Challenges in communication • Insufficient communication technology (e-mail, videos, Intranet, etc.) • Staff apathy • Shift working and dispersement of staff • Barriers which often separate management and staff .

Demand Forecasting  Safe and Reliable  Low-Fares to commuters than other transport  Advertisements on trains, eg: Sprite adds on doors of trains.  Air-Conditioned coaches  Fast and comfortable journey  Automatic doors with obstruction detection 

The unique feature of Bangalore Metro is its integration with other modes of public transport, enabling the commuters conveniently interchange from one mode to another. Because of proper planning in of METRO.

Transport plays a critical role in social and economic development. The need to understand and to accommodate the interests, perceptions and needs of target populations and other key stakeholders is paramount in the design of projects and programs aimed at social and economic development.

Need For Namma Metro



social importance :

With traffic decongestion being the key, the primary aim of the Bangalore Metro is to encourage commuters to leave their vehicles in their garages and use public transport. Positioned as a complementary, rather than competitive mode of transport, the Bangalore Metro will work in tandem with other transport systems like buses and mono rails.

The perfect Plan The city bus corridors will not run parallel to Bangalore Metro corridors, instead buses will act as feeders. The mono rail network planned for the city will not overlap with that of the metro, but will connect at major junctions as feeders. On certain high density corridors, three wheelers will be regulated. Feeder bus services will be provided to all the metro stations.  Bus bays and parking facilities for private vehicles will be available at all major stations. State-of-the-art  satellite bus-cum-metro terminals are being planned in the city outskirts, to control the entry of inter-city 

Main Action The Bangalore Metro will be integrated with

Railways and other modes of transport at Byappanahalli Railway Station in the East, Yeshwantpur Railway Station in the North and Bangalore City Railway Station and Kempegowda Bus Stand in the Central parts of the city. Thus far, few studies of transport have addressed the consequences of social change derived predictive models to deal with this set of issues.

Issues There has not been sufficient examination of

transport's impact on social issues within a qualitative framework. It is important to also consider the flow of social capital in the form of information, news, or job opportunities facilitated through transport networks.

socio- economic role Transport The role of transport in facilitating or limiting

social capital expands economic criteria models when measuring the impact of transport projects. The benefits of improving transport infrastructure have traditionally been measured by performance criteria, like improved connectivity, travel time, speeds and fuel savings. The costs of improvements in transport infrastructure are classically defined as construction cost, ongoing operations and

CONTINUED:However, transport is a derived demand, i.e. transport

is used only when the need to move exists, and the need to move is dictated by socio-economic requirements of the users.  This implies that the necessity for movement, hence the use of transport infrastructure, is need/goal based; i.e. people do not move for the sake of moving, they move to get to work, education, recreation, health etc which will finally enable them to improve their social and economic well being. At the same time, the “users” are a heterogeneous mix of people of different socio-economic classes, with different needs and desires and differing needs of movement. These differential concerns make the task of assessing the feasibility of a project more complex - some users

Advantages of a Rail Based System in Urban Transportation Only a rail-based system : Can achieve carrying capacity as high as 40,000 phpdt.  Requires 1/5th energy per passenger km compared to

road-based system.  Causes no air pollution in the city.  Causes lesser noise level  Occupies no road space if underground and only about 2 metre width of the road if elevated.  Carries same amount of traffic as 9 lanes of bus traffic or 24 lanes of private motor cars (either way).  Is more reliable, comfortable and safer than road-based system.  Reduces journey time by anything between 50% and 75% depending on road conditions.

Negative Impact Of Metro Project During this phase, those impacts, which are likely to take place due to the layout of the project, have been assessed. These impacts are:Project Affected People (PAPs) Loss of trees/forest; Utility/Drainage Problems, and Loss of Historical and Cultural Monuments Soil Erosion, Pollution and Health Risk at

Construction Site. Increased Water Demand.

BUSINESS STRUCTURE OF BANGLORE METRO RAIL MANAGERIAL FEASIBILITY OF PROJECT BANGALORE METRO RAIL PROJECT

Legal structure :

 The Rs 6,395-crore Bangalore Metro Rail project will not be

scrapped. The government has accepted the Justice Shivshankar Bhat Committee report, which recommended that the project will go along the CMH Road alignment .

 Allaying people's fears, he announced a rehabilitation

package for families and business establishments on CMH Road and Mahakavi Kuvempu Road who would be affected by the acquisition of 28 acres of private land.

 The package for CMH Road residents and all other property

losses will cost the exchequer about Rs 30 crore. As recommended by the Shivshankar Bhat Committee, the rehabilitation package will include allotment of sites by BDA, provision of house rent for six months to affected households, and 10-month rent to affected business establishments.

Contd: The project will be taken up on priority, he told reporters

after a review meeting. While there'll be no change in the alignment of CMH Road or Mahakavi Kuvempu Road in Malleswaram, there will be just one change on CMH Road.  The project will be taken up on priority, he told that after a review meeting. While there'll be no change in the alignment of CMH Road or Mahakavi Kuvempu Road in Malleswaram, there will be just one change on CMH Road.  Instead of two stations on 100 ft Road, Indiaranagar, and CMH Road (opposite Bata), there will be one common station near Arya Samaj. Setting at rest speculation on Mono Rail, Kumaraswamy said it'll only complement the Metro Rail project as a feeder service.The CM said he has ordered that the area adjoining the Metro Rail alignment be converted into commercial land use pattern, benefiting those having properties along the alignment.  Also, for those whose properties will be displaced, all benefits available in the transfer of development rights in the BMP, will be extended.

partners:

As per the ex-Union Urban Development

Minister S Jaipal Reddy there is no private participation in the proposed Bangalore Metro Rail project as a Special Purpose Vehicle involving both the Union and State Governments would implement it.

Consultants and service providers:  Public sector firm BEML has got railway equipment and component orders

of over Rs 4,000 crore, as per said by company chairman and managing director V R S Natarajan.

 The first order worth Rs 1,672.50 crore from the Bangalore Metro Rail

Corporation (BMRC) is for the supply of metro coaches, including spares, for Phase I of the project by October 2010. BEML is expecting an additional order of metro coaches for further expansion and extension of proposed metro lines in Bangalore city.

 The rolling stock order will comprise 50 train sets of three cars each and will

be implemented by a consortium comprising BEML, Rotem and Mitsubishi, Natarajan said. Additional orders for the Bangalore Metro in the coming months, depending on requirements, are expected to involve supply of 30 coaches for Rs 300 crore, and at a later point, a Rs 600-crore order for another 63 coaches.

 Nine general consultants are in the race to bag the contract for developing

the design and constructing the Bangalore Metro Rail. The Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation (BMRC) is scrutinising the documents submitted by the nine consultants, including one by Rail India Tecno and Economic Services (RITE )
