1 BACKGROUND TO THE DETAILED PROJECT REPORT (DPR)

54% of the world's population now lives in urban areas and it is expected to increase to 66%
by 2050 as per United Nation (UN) report "World Urbanization Prospects 2014". Cities are
expanding in terms of boundaries and attracting people from other parts of the country for
a better life. Rapid urbanization also comes with challenges such as housing, sanitation,
utilities and transportation for these cities.
Transportation brings its own challenges like increasing vehicular pollution, passenger
safety, operating costs of transport undertakings, providing convenience to passengers etc.
Government of India has launched initiatives to induct new and indigenous technologies to
address these challenges, and improve the quality of life of its citizens, such as, ‘Smart Cities
Mission’ and ‘Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation (AMRUT)’by
Ministry of Urban Development (MoUD). Both these missions highlight the importance of
the efficient Urban Mobility and Public Transport. The ‘Smart Cities Mission’ is an exciting
opportunity for the Urban Local Bodies (ULBs) and transport undertakings in developing a
vision to create Smart Cities, and enable the government to maximize its technology
investments through various business models.
In the ‘India Smart Cities Challenge’ competition, Indore is selected in the top 20 cities from
a list of 97 cities. As a part of this competition, more than 6+ lacs citizens of Indore were
consulted and ‘transportation’ emerged as the 2nd most important priority for the city.
Indore Municipal Corporation through AICTSL has always strived to provide integrated multi
modal public transport which is fast, comfortable, safe, reliable and environmentally
friendly.
Inspired by Government’s vision of Green and Clean Public Transportation and aligned to
the objective to develop 'SMART City Indore with clean and healthy development',
introduction of ‘Smart Electric Buses’ in the fleet of AICTSL will be another milestone for
Indore.
This detailed project report (DPR) prepared by Indore Municipal Corporation (IMC), Indore
and AICTSL is proposing adoption of indigenously designed and developed electric vechile
chargers for usage in Indore’s public/ private transportation/ users. This is submitted for
your consideration.

2 INDORE CITY BACKGROUND

Indore, a historical city situated on the banks of rivers Kahn and Saraswati, is the largest city
of the ‘Agro-Industrial Region’ of Madhya Pradesh. It is almost centrally located on the
fertile Malwa Plateau at latitude 220 43’ North and longitude 760 42’ East and is the nerve
center of the economic activities of the state. Indore is the most populous city in Madhya
Pradesh with a population of about 3.2 million according to the 2011 census. The total
urbanized area of Indore is spread over 272 sq. km, divided into 85 wards and a population
density of 841 people per sq. km.
Indore is one of the fastest growing Tier II cities in India. It already is the commercial capital
of central India. The rapid industrial and commercial development coupled with the rise in
population in the recent past has contributed to a large-scale increase in traffic on the city’s
roads. This increasing intensity of traffic has resulted in the manifestation of a number of
problems such as congestions, delays, accidents, pollution etc. which pose a potential threat
to the economic vitality and productive efficiency of the city.
Indore is administered by the Indore Municipal Corporation (IMC) which was established in
1956 under the Madhya Pradesh Nagar Palika Nigam Adhiniyam. For administrative
purposes, the city is divided into 69 wards.

3 ATAL INDORE CITY TRANSPORT SERVICES LTD (AICTSL): A BRIEF

OVERVIEW

It is estimated that by 2025, at modal split of 50%, around 16.5 million passenger kilometers
are to be serviced by public mass transportation systems. Given this urgent need and scope
of opportunity, and given the lack of a specialized and an effective regulatory agency to
monitor the system, a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) in the form of a public limited
company, Atal Indore City Transport Services Ltd. (AICTSL), was set up on the 1st of
December 2005.

The company’s purpose is to operate and manage the public transport system in Indore with
private sector participation via contracting and franchising arrangements, thereby putting in
place a mechanism to ensure the financial viability of such operations.

The new SPV was constituted as a Public Limited Company incorporated under the
Companies Act, 1956 with a paid up capital of Rs 25 lakhs. The management of the company
was to be entrusted with the Board of Directors. There are six members on the Board of
Directors with District Collector Indore as its Executive Director, entitled to exercise all
powers for effective management of the new transport system under the Public Private
Partnership (PPP) model.

The organization structure appoints regulatory functions with the state government and
traffic and transport departments; the planning, management and implementation is done
by AICTSL, leaving the private sector responsible for operations.

Since 2006, AICTSL is undertaking 1 lakh passenger trips per day. Today it operates more
than 140 buses on over 20 routes in Indore, including BRTS routes. It carries 20% of the
public transport load. Indore city has benefited from AICTSL by savings in travel time for its
users, reduced congestion, and changed travel patterns within the city. In addition, there
have been fewer road accidents, pollution has reduced and the urban landscape has
improved. In a true term, AICTSL is moving towards a clean public transportation including
last mile connectivity.

4 CURRENT TRANSPORT SITUATION AND ELECTRIFICATION OF PUBLIC

TRANSPORT (BUSES)

4.1 CURRENT TRANSPORT SITUATION IN THE

As shown in the map aside two (2)
CITY
National Highways and one (1) state
highway passes through the city which
have over timedeveloped as the major
arterial roads along which the city has
developed. These roads connect the city to
other major cities in the vicinity like
Ujjain,Mhow, Dewas, etc. City’s growth
corridor initially was towards South
alongNH-3 towards the Pitampura
industrial belt. Then the corridor between
Ujjain and Indore was planned to be
developed as a high speed corridor and
the city began growing towards North
direction

As per the comprehensive mobility report around

12% land use of the city is under road sand 60% of
the total road length is paved roads. The urban
planning guidelines suggest 10% -15% of the total
area should be utilized for roads and Indore so far
with 0.9 metre per capita road length is within that
limit.
With the increasing geographical spread of the city
and increasing prosperity the vehicle ownership in
the city has been increasing steadily. As per a
historical data analysis the number of registered
Page | 7
vehicles in the city has grown at an average rate of
9.64% per year.

year 2025.

4.2 CURRENT PUBLIC TRANSPORT SITUATION IN THE CITY

The public transport system in the city is essentially road based and includes organized and
unorganized public transport system. Before the establishment of AICTSL, inter-city buses
Page | 10
 Detailed Project Report Electric Vehicle Chargers – Indore

were run by the Madhya Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation (MPSRTC). Since
inception of AICTSL in 2005, it has taken initiatives to improve the public transportation in
the city. Currently is has more than 200+ buses plying on 20+ routes.

Apart from AICTSL, Intermediate Public Transport (IPT) system in the city comprises of 500
private minibuses plying on 63 routes (as per joint committee report) and 13,800 auto
rickshaws. In addition, 300 Tata Magic, 350-550 Maruti Vans, are also plying as IPT.
Indore is developing a comprehensive mobility plan to meet the needs of the city in 2021.
Among other aspects, it envisages an integrated, multi-modal public transport system which
would be fast moving, comfortable, safe, user-friendly and reliable, with integrated land-
use, equitable allocation of road space between different transport modes and compliance
with safety laws.

4.4 ELECTRIFICATION OF PUBLIC TRANSPORT BUSES

The rapid growth of the Indian economy has resulted in an increase in demand for public
transportation. India spent $113 Billion on crude oil import in FY15 and the transport sector
is the largest consumer of fossil fuel. Approximately 70% of diesel and 99.6% of petrol is
consumed by the transport sector and it contributes approximately 10% of total CO2
emissions in India. As the world’s third largest emitter of CO2, India faces serious challenges
in terms of climate change. India has a great opportunity to address the challenge of global
warming and reduction of greenhouse gases by taking up technological leadership in electric
vehicle technologies.
According to Association of Road Transport Undertakings (ASRTU), buses are the key mode
of public transportation. However large bus fleets with diesel/CNG engines cause higher air
pollution. Electric buses with zero emissions will help address this issue. Ministry of Road
Transport and Highways has plans to convert about 1.5 lacs diesel buses run by state
transport corporations into electric buses to cut on huge import bill and check pollution.
According to a study conducted by Shakti Foundation in 2012, total CO2 emissions of Indore
city due to buses was 0.4 Million Tons. This was almost 21% of the total emission of the city
due to transportation sector.
Electric buses will have a large impact on reducing the pollution in Indore for e.g. if 500
buses are replaced with electric, approximately 10% of the total CO2 emission caused by
buses will be reduced. As a first step, AICTSL proposes to launch 30+ smart electric buses in
Indore which will help reduce CO2 pollution by around 2,000 tons (i.e. 15,000 tons of CO2
over the life of the bus). Introducing electric buses will also will help reduce operating
expenses
Rickshaws account for a significant proportion local urban pollution and GHG emissions in
India and its contribution is likely to grow in the coming years. We strongly believe this
mode of transport has the best case use for the last mile connectivity.

4.5 CURRENT ELECTRIC BUS OPERATIONS IN INDORE.

AICTSL have received fund under FAME I Scheme of DHI Govt. of India for 40 No. of electric
AC buses. AICTSL has procured and started operations of Electric buses in Indore. The

 Detailed Project Report Electric Vehicle Chargers – Indore

operations are being done on VGF model. Five different city routes have been designed to
cater the passengers in the heart of the city. Till date more than 4,500 pax have used the
electric bus service. As per the survey conducted on the public transit & non public transit
users and 100 % public transit users claimed to have Electric mobility in the city to prevent
pollution.

4.6 INTEGRATED TRANSIT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
