Page 11 of 92
 INDIA SMART CITY MISSION

→ TMC is the majority stakeholder in STEM Water Distribution & Infrastructure Pvt
Ltd,which supplies water to 3 ULBs and 34 villages of Thane Zilla Parishad.

WEAKNESSES
Congested city centre
→ The city centre, including the Thane station area with a daily footfall of 6.5 lakh
commuters (MRVCL, 2013), is one of the oldest and most congested areas in the city
suffering from inadequate infrastructure, traffic congestion.
→ Thane station is the busiest suburban station and suffers severely from overcrowding.

Unsafe housing conditions

→ Population living in slums and dilapidated buildings today constitutes over 50% of the
total population - since affordable housing has not kept pace with growth in population.

Infrastructure gaps
→ Thane city has adequate water supply at the city level (178 lpcd supply) and 99%
water supply coverage, but suffers from inequitable distribution. Water supply is supplied
for 6 hours a day.
→ The city has adequate sewage treatment capacity (over 200 MLD), but only 46% of
the city is covered by sewerage network.
→ The city has suffered from lack of waste disposal facilities, though it has now engaged
on PPP basis for a 600 MT waste to energy plant.

Dormitory city
→ Thane is gradually transforming into a residential destination for people working in
Mumbai.
→ Correspondingly with increasing land prices & rentals, secondary-sector industries are
moving out or closing down leading to a narrowing of economic base.

OPPORTUNITIES

 INDIA SMART CITY MISSION

THREATS
Downsizing of existing manufacturing & industrial base
→ The increasing real estate & rentals in Thane have resulted in existing heavy
machinery & chemical industries slowly moving out or closing down.
→ Developing an alternative economic base of services & higher value added industries
is critical for Thane to retain its current economic growth.

Increasing traffic congestion

→ Increasing vehicle numbers (share of private vehicles has increased from 64% to 74%,
1995-2007) have led to traffic congestion, parking issues and pollution in the city cores.
→ Average commute time is 52 mins and average commute distance is 19.51 km. This is
already a major issue around the Thane station area, with its huge rail commuter number.
→ Addressing the traffic congestion, through measures such as TMT and public transport
is critical for Thane retains its reputation as a green and livable space.

Deterioration of the Creek area & waterfront

→ The creek waterfront and lakes are coming under intense development pressure and
suffer from pollution.
→ 54% of the land falls under CRZ, green zones and water bodies with tremendous
development pressure on these areas.
→ Addressing this issue is critical for a sustainable and livable environment.

Unauthorized dilapidated settlements

→ More than 50% of Thane's population reside in large residential clusters consisting of
unauthorized and dilapidated structures and slums
→ Due to this, issues relating to building collapses and loss of life are a continuous
threat, which need to be addressed.

Address infrastructure gaps

→ Sewerage & solid waste management are major issues affecting health conditions
especially in slum areas, and the same need to be addressed.

KEY TAKE-AWAYS:

1. The very stations which drove the growth of Thane now suffer from congestion which
in turn reduces their accessibility. There is thus a need to improve mobility at the city
centers which have emerged around the stations.
2. There is a need for planned redevelopment to not only improve quality of housing
stock but also create livable neighborhoods for over 50% of the population living in
unsafe housing conditions
3. Thane has a 32 km long creek-line which has the potential to be developed into
attractive public spaces
4. In order to ensure sustainable development experience in energy conservation should
be expanded to undertake large scale energy efficiency projects and generate renewable
solar energy
5. The deficiencies in urban services such as water supply & sanitation need to
addressed to ensure city's attractiveness to people as well as business
6. TMC needs to make service delivery and governance a seamless process which would
enable it to deliver the outcomes desired in all the above take-aways

B. AREA-BASED PROPOSAL
The area-based proposal is the key element of the proposal. An area-based proposal will identify an area of
the city that has been selected t hrough desk research, analysis, meetings with public representatives,
prominent citizens, and citizen engagement, as the appropriate site for either of three types of development:
retrofitting (approx. 500 acres), redevelopment (approx. 50 acres) or Greenfield development (approx. 250
acres). This area will be developed into a ‘smart’ area, which incorporates all the Essential
Features/Elements prescribed in the Mission Guidelines and any additional features that are deemed to be
necessary and appropriate.

Mapping of information and data is a key part of your Smart City Proposal. Create a suitable Base Map of
your city with all the relevant systems and networks as they exist today, showing its physical, administrative
and other characteristics, such as natural features, heritage areas, areas prone to flooding, slums, etc. The
base map should show the regional context in which your city is located and should contain the spatial and
physical layout/morphology of your city, the street network, the open and green spaces, the geographical
features and landmarks and the infrastructure, including for transportation, water supply, sewerage,
electricity distribution and generation, and so on.

Using the base map, represent, with the most effective method available, as much information and data
about the ‘Area’ selected for area-based development. Only one ‘Area’ should be selected and attached
in the form of a map containing the spatial and physi cal layout/morphology of the Area, the street
network, the open and green spaces, the geographical features and landmarks and the
infrastructure, including for transportation, water supply, sewerage, electricity distribution and
generation, and so on. The Essential Elements and additional features that are propos ed to be part of the
area-based development should be included. Describe, using mainly graphic means (maps, diagrams,
pictures, etc.) the propos ed area-based development, including the project boundaries, connectivity,
significant relationships, etc.
(max. 2 nos. of A -3 size sheets)

9. SUMMARY
Summarize your idea for an area-based development. (max. 100 words )

→ Thane city is a successful example of TOD, having grown around four stations (Thane,
Diva, Mumbra and Kalwa) of Mumbai suburban railway. However, the unbridled growth of
population around the stations has adversely impacted mobility, housing, public spaces
and the delivery of basic services - turning yesteryear's success into today's constraint.
→ Thane of tomorrow needs to rejuvenate these city centers by improving mobility
around the stations and the quality of life of residents in their respective catchment areas,
while playing its part in environmental upgradation
→ Thane City Center - the area around Thane railway station (busiest in the region with
6.5 lakh+ commuters) has been chosen as a pilot in this direction in accordance with the
strategic blueprint (see Q4). Based on the learnings from this pilot, the initiative will be
replicated at areas around the three other stations to achieve a city-wide transformation.
→ The initiative draws from the city goals (see Q5) and involves the following:
1. Improving mobility by de-congesting city-centers
2. Inclusive housing by redeveloping unsafe housing
3. Enhancing the natural habitat through waterfront development
4. Energy savings through efficiency and renewable power generation
5. Improving infrastructure for water and sanitation

10. APPROACH & METHODOLOGY

What is the approach and methodology followed in selecting/identifying the area-based development?
Describe the reasons for your choice based on the following (max. 1000 words):
a. The city profile
b. Citizen opinion and engagement
c. Opinion of the elected representatives
d. Discussion with urban planners and sector experts
e. Discussion with suppliers/ partners

Approach:
Based on the need for improving city centers as identifying in the strategic blueprint, the
approach has been developed in the form three fundamental questions:
→What are the characteristics which define the city?
→Which area best represents all of these characteristics?
→Is there adequate opportunity to replicate the area's success' elsewhere in the city?

1. CHARACTERISTICS OF THANE CITY

→ TOD with Mobility Issues: Traffic congestion in city cores around all 4 railway stations
→ A City of Waterfronts: 35 lakes and a 32 km creek-line
→ Unsafe, Unauthorized Housing: Over 50% of citizens in slums & dilapidated housing
→ Infrastructure Gaps: The city has deficiencies in the equitable and hours of supply of
water, coverage of sewerage and drainage network and disposal of solid waste.

2. CHARACTERISTICS OF THANE CITY CENTER (pilot for ABD, Annex 3 p.5)

The Thane City Center meets all of these criteria as explained below:
→TOD with Mobility Issues: Thane caters to 65% of city and is excessively loaded with

continue on next page

Page 24 of 92
 INDIA SMART CITY MISSION

over 6.5 commuters (the highest in the region's suburban rail network)
→ Lakes and waterfront: 3 lakes and 1.5 km creekline with potential for development
→Unsafe housing: 70 acres of dilapidated housing at Kisan nagar, over 1 lakh residents
→ Infrastructure gaps: 2 flooding spots and deficiencies in sewerage coverage, water
supply hours and solid waste disposal

3. OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE REPLICATION OF THE ABD

→ Kalwa: TOD around the Kalwa railway station which includes 4 lakes, about 7 km of
creek-line and a dilapidated housing cluster in the neighborhood of Shantinagar.
→ Mumbra: TOD around the Mumbra railway station which includes 3 lakes, a 3 km
creek-line and a dilapidated housing cluster in the neighborhood of Kausa.
→ Diva: TOD around the Diva railway station which includes 3 lakes, 6 km of creek-line
and a dilapidated housing cluster around the station.

Methodology

The area-based development was conceptualized based on the characteristics of the city
(city profile) and a series of consultation with citizens and their elected representatives
and professionals such as urban planners, sector experts, vendors, etc.

1. CITY PROFILE (Annex 3 p.4)

a) TOD PROFILE OF THANE

→ About 90% of the city has evolved around the four key railway stations (Thane, Kalwa,
Mumbra and Diva) of Thane city.
→ About 65% of the city's population is served by Thane railway station.
→ However, the railway station suffers from acute congestion, being the busiest railway
station in region with over 6.5 lakh commuters daily.
→ TMC had earliest developed a solution for the dispersal of traffic on the western side
of Thane railway station. This project was undertaken under the station area traffic
improvement scheme (SATIS) and won an award by MOUD for the same. The project
involved an elevated deck and flyovers which would separate the city buses from
remaining traffic and thereby improve traffic conditions. This also included design for an
IMT stand beneath the deck. However, the increasing traffic has outstripped this facility.
→ TMC in the process of adding 205 new buses to its fleet. However, the inadequacy of
the SATIS facility at Thane station poses a challenge to the operation of these buses.

b) THANE, A CITY OF WATERFRONT AND LAKES

→ Thane has 35 lakes and a 32 km long creek-line. 54% of the land falls under CRZ,
green zones and water bodies with tremendous development pressure on these areas
→ Thane has already prepared a waterfront master-plan for the entire creek-line by
through international consultants and the DPR for a pilot project along the section close
to Thane railway station
→ Waterfront developments for one of the lakes (Masunda) has been approved under
the National Lake Conservation Programme

c) AFFORDABLE HOUSING ISSUES IN THANE

→ More than 50% of the population in Thane lives in slums and dilapidated housing
clusters
→ The dilapidated housing clusters are a result of large swaths of un-authorized
development, due to which they are severely deficient in amenities and infrastructure.

continue on next page

Page 25 of 92
 INDIA SMART CITY MISSION

→ TMC has prepared a policy to undertake large-scale market-led re-planning and

re-building of these clusters, and also undertake an impact assessment study for various
clusters including Kisan nagar. The Chief Minister has given his approval to this study.

d) SERVICE LEVEL DEFICIENCIES AND INFRASTRUCTURE GAPS IN THANE

→ Thane has adequate water supply (178 lpcd) and treatment capacity at the city level,
however there are issues in equitable distribution of water across the distribution network
and limited supply hours
→ The city has adequate sewage treatment capacity (120 MLD) but inadequate network
coverage (40% of the city) in case of sewerage and drainage
→ The city has excellent SWM coverage with door-to-door collection at 99% of the
households. While the city currently has scarce waste disposal facilities, a 600 MT waste
to energy plant is underway. However, there is need for separate disposal of organic wet
waste which tends to reduce the calorific value of waste.

2. CITIZENS AND ELECTED REPRESENTATIVES

→ Based on the city profile, the citizens were asked to vote the geography which should
be considered for the pilot project. (Annex 3 p.3)
→ An extensive out-reach was carried out which 4 lakh citizens through physical forms
and 72,000 essays from schools in Thane
→ Ward-level consultations with elected representatives and discussions with 150
representatives of slum dwellers
→ Submissions through e-mail (200 essays), facebook (40k likes) and MyGov (46
submissions). 37% of citizens voted for station area.
→ Further, citizens were also asked to comment on their quality of life. 49% citizens
voted for mobility as a key problem, 29% citizens voted for environmental conservation.

3. URBAN PLANNERS, SECTOR EXPERTS AND VENDORS

→ Focused group discussions were held on 6 themes: Traffic and transportation;
Environment and recreation; Water supply, Sanitation and Health; Online Municipal
services; Economy; and Safety and security. (Annex 3 p.3)
→ This involved sectoral experts and industry representatives such as architects,
engineers, industry associations (MIDC, Laghu Udyog Sanghatana,etc.), parastatals
(TMT, Police, Traffic Police, MSEDCL), vendors (IBM, Siemens, L&T, etc.), heads of
institutions (Mumbai University, VJTI), NGOs (women’s groups, groups for the
differently-abled, etc.) and infrastructure experts.
→ 40% of the experts voted for station area to be chosen for the area-based
development, while 32% voted for congested area to be chosen.

17. SUCCESS FACTORS

Describe the three most significant factors for ensuring the success of the area-based development
proposal. What will your city do if these factors turn out to be different from what you have assumed?
(max. 500 words)

GOALS THAT ARE ACHIEVABLE

→ Realistic interventions: Majority of the interventions proposed in the area-based
development are simple and low-cost ones, with minimal complications, which deliver
high impact. TMC has already conducted detailed technical investigations for most of the
projects.
→ Inter-governmental co-operation: TMC is partnering with the Thane Traffic Police as
well as the Central Railways in its plan for a holistic improvement in mobility.
→ Citizen-oriented plan: The location as well as the key projects have been chosen from
an extensive and continuous citizen engagement. Given that the Thane railway station
has a catchment with 65% of the population, the project is a popular one.
Back-up Plan:
→ There is a very low probability that these assumptions may turn out to be different than
what is assumed, since they are supported by documentation and simple facts.

NO FINANCING RISK TO THE PROJECT

→ INR 4100 crores of INR 5436 crores of projects are to be financed through private
investments
→ Only 4 of the grant funded projects are large ones requiring investment in excess of
INR 200 crores each.
→ The SPV does not need to incur any external debt to fund these projects, thereby
insulating itself from any financial risk such as interest risk or currency risk
Back-up Plan:
→ A financial strong Thane Municipal Corporation, with average revenue surplus of INR
500 crores can raise debt to support the SPV in case of any cash-flow issues.

ULB WITH STRONG IMPLEMENTATION SKILLS

→ An experienced team with relevant experience and expertise
→ Personnel in the SPV can perform better with the focussed mandate of the institution.
→ TMC has won an national excellence award from MoUD for the station area transport
improvement project (SATIS), on the western side of Thane railway station, implemented
by it. This projects shares engineering characteristics two key project proposed viz. the
multi-modal facility and new railway station
Back-up Plan:
→ SPV can hire personnel with required skills from the market on contract basis
→ A human resource management strategy can be prepared to motivate high
performance.

PROJECTS READY FOR EXECUTION (see Annex. 3, p.17)

The following has been done in the past 6 months showing TMC's commitment

C. PAN-CITY PROPOSAL (S)

A pan-city smart solution should benefit t he entire city through application of ICT and resulting improvement
in local governance and delivery of public services. The S CP should contain one or two such Smart
Solutions. Generally, ‘smartness’ refers to doing more with less, building upon existing infrastructural assets
and resources and proposing resource efficient initiatives.

19. SUMMARY
Summarize your idea(s ) for the pan-city proposal(s). (max. 100 words)

In line with TMC’s vision of making service delivery and governance a seamless process,
the pan city solution namely ‘Digital Thane Initiative’ (DTI) is envisaged as a
multi-pronged intervention that leverages technology to deliver a significant city-wide
impact. (Annex 3 p.16)

DTI comprises 6 major components:

1. Digi-Thane System (personalised information & services at the citizens' fingertips)
2. Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP)
3. Intelligent transport system(live monitoring of bus transport system for efficient service)
4. Online urban service performance management system (improving service delivery)
5. Free public WiFi (improving digital access)
6. CCTV surveillance (enhancing citizen safety)

The costing for these components varies – while some components have been budgeted
for under TMC’s funds, others such as the CCTV and Wi-Fi solution shall be privately
financed on a PPP revenue-sharing basis.

The DTI emerges from the goal to achieve responsive and accountable governance in
Thane (Q5, Goal 6)

21. APPROACH & METHODOLOGY

What is the approach and methodology followed in selecting/identifying the pan-city proposal(s)?
Describe the reasons for your choice based on the following (max. 1000 words):
a. The city profile and self assessment;
b. Citizen opinion and engagement
c. Opinion of the elected representatives
d. Discussion with urban planners and sector experts
e. Discussion with suppliers/ partners

APPROACH

The pan-city solution should deliver an impact which is significant, representing a

fundamental change in governance and quality of life, and city-wide, both in terms of
geography and demography. Given that the smart city mission focuses on an area-based
approach, the pan-city solution is expected to alleviate the quality of life of citizens across
Thane. The pan city intervention must thus lead to noticeable city-wide results. Secondly,
the solution must be truly ‘pan’ city in the sense that all citizens, irrespective of their age,
sex, ability or economic status, should be able to benefit from this solution.

The pan city solution evolved out of a robust analytical and consultative process. In
addition to a thorough study of the city profile and SWOT analysis, consultations with
various stakeholders such as citizens, elected representatives, sector experts and
industry representatives were carried out in order to arrive at an optimum solution.
Further, the emerging solutions were tailored to the existing institutional set-up, assets
and processes at TMC in order to achieve frugal innovation. A genuine effort was made
to incorporate almost all the pan city priorities of the citizens into one overarching
solution.

CITY PROFILE AND SELF ASSESSMENT

The city-profile was analyzed through an exhaustive review of available literature (master
plans, city development plan, environmental status reports, regional plan, detailed project
reports, industry research reports, etc.) and available statistics (city budgets, service level
benchmarks, KRAs, crime statistics, etc.). The findings were then validated by site visits
to various parts of the city.

a. SAFETY CONCERNS: Another area of concern is the rising crime rate. Statistics
published by the Thane Police indicate that criminal cases registered have increased by
56% over the last decade, while the number of detections has only increased by 24%.
The proportion of crimes detected has deteriorated from 73% to 58% over the last
decade. In order to address this safety concern, an integrated CCTV and Wi-Fi service
was conceptualized.

b. SERVICE LEVEL GAP:

→ In terms of service levels, Thane fares poorly in case of extent of metering, NRW,
scientific disposal of solid waste and coverage of sewerage network. While projects to
address the latter two are underway (waste to energy plant and underground sewerage
scheme), water supply requires urgent attention.

Continue on next page

Page 47 of 92
 INDIA SMART CITY MISSION

→ The city is well-placed in terms of coverage (97.4%) and per capita supply of water
(178 LPCD); however extent of metering is only 3.6% and NRW is 37%, or in other words
only 63% of the water supplied is billed. A first step in this direction is to carry out
extensive metering of all residential connections in the city.
→ From a service provider’s perspective, there is a dire need for assimilation of reliable
and accurate data at a common platform to make informed decision and carry out online
performance monitoring of all 4 critical services (water supply, sewerage, storm water
drainage and solid waste management). The absence of accurate real time data on
performance levels makes it difficult to assess the existing situation. TMC is currently
capable of generating reliable data for only 14 of the 28 SLBs prescribed in the
handbook. This is mainly due to lack of regular record keeping practices and the fact that
if the information is available, it is available at number of platforms which are not inter
linked. Moreover, in order to avail of performance grants as per the recommendations of
the 14th Finance Commission, cities have to be publish service level data according to
the guidelines laid down in the handbook issued by the Ministry of Urban Development.
Therefore, in order to carry out reliable performance measurement, monitoring and
improvement, there is a dire need to institutionalise these service level benchmarks.

c. CITIZEN ENAGEMENT & E-GOVERNANCE (Annex 3 p.3):

→ TMC has made several strides in the field of e-governance. Applications for new water
connections or birth and death certificates are now available online however citizens are
sometimes still required to come and physically submit these forms at the citizen
facilitation centre located at the ward offices.
→ In an effort to bring the Corporation closer to the citizens while simultaneously
minimizing turnaround time and physical interaction, TMC is in the process of
implementing ERP for municipal services that will consist of a total of 33 modules ranging
from property tax and welfare schemes to grievance redressal and file tracking.
→ Through the automation and optimisation of back-office processes at the Corporation,
this solution would enable online access to information and services provided by TMC. →
→ An additional layer that would bring in greater convenience for citizens to avail of
municipal services combined with other benefits with a swipe of a card or through a
mobile application would be the Digi-Thane System.

ENGAGING CITIZENS AND ELECTED REPRESENTATIVES (Annex 3 p.3)

→ Based on the city profile, the citizens were asked to vote the geography which should
be considered for the pilot project.
→ An extensive out-reach was carried out which 4 lakh citizens through physical forms
and 72,000 essays from schools in Thane
→ Ward-level consultations with elected representatives and discussions with 150
representatives of slum dwellers
→ Submissions through e-mail (200 essays), facebook (40k likes) and MyGov (46
submissions). 37% of citizens voted for station area.
→ Amongst the citizens 39.23% voted for improved water supply, 38.01% for increased
safety and security, and 11.12% for improved online municipal services.

Continue on next page

Page 48 of 92
 INDIA SMART CITY MISSION

ENGAGING URBAN PLANNERS, SECTOR EXPERTS AND VENDORS (Annex 3 p.3)

→ Focused group discussions were held on 6 themes: Traffic and transportation;

Environment and recreation; Water supply, Sanitation and Health; Online Municipal
services; Economy; and Safety and security.
→ This invovled sectoral experts and industry representatives such as architects,
engineers, industry associations (MIDC, Laghu Udyog Sanghatana,etc.), parastatals
(TMT, Police, Traffic Police, MSEDCL), vendors (IBM, Siemens, L&T, etc.), heads of
institutions (Mumbai University, VJTI), NGOs (women’s groups, groups for the
differently-abled, etc.) and infrastructure experts.
→ During the consultations the experts and urban planners raised concerns about 37%
of NRW. Experts expressed the need to reduce the NRW for improving the service levels
in the city and encouraged metering of connections for more accountability in water
supply to the citizens. Community organizations and NGOs raised the concerns for slum
areas and highlighted the need for sufficient and timely supply of water.
→ During consultations with representatives from slum-dwellers, 76% respondents raised
concerns about safety and security in their localities. Representatives from women's
organisations also voiced their concerns about the safety of women in certain parts of the
city especially on highways and where street-lighting is poor.
→ According to the inputs given in the Focus Group Discussion on Safety and Security
by the Commissioner of Police, Thane Police Commissionerate, CCTVs make
surveillance more convenient and thorough, and are a pre-requisite in the modern world
for post-incidence investigation and curbing of criminal activities.
→ FGDs with water supply vendors revealed the need for adopting smart technological
intervention for improvement in service delivery of water supply. Raising concerns on
37% non-revenue water at the city level, the vendors sited example of western countries
using SCADA and smart metering to optimizing the performance of the water supply
system.

22. DEMAND ASSESSMENT

What are the specific issues relat ed to governance and public services that you have identified during
city profiling and citizen engagement that you would like to address through your pan city proposal(s )?
How do you think these solution(s) would solve the specific issues and goals you have identified?
(max.1000 words)

KEY ISSUES IN THANE CITY

a. PROMOTION OF TMC INITIATIVES: TMC uses social media and public

advertisement as channels for public awareness and to gauge public opinion. Lack of
targeted messaging leads to dilution of the messages for the public. There is therefore a
need for a mechanism to target citizens according to the relevance of the message.

b. E-GOVERNANCE: Despite the advent of e-governance, several local government

services still remain outside the ambit of the TMC’s online platform. Further, the lack of
integration of government functions often leads to duplication of work and a consequent
wastage of resources both in terms of time, money and manpower.

Continue on next page

Page 49 of 92
 INDIA SMART CITY MISSION

c. SAFETY CONCERNS: Statistics published by the Thane Police reveal that criminal
cases registered have increased at a rate of 56% per year over the last decade, while the
number of detections has only increased by 24%. The proportion of crimes detected has
deteriorated from 73% to 58% over the last decade. This indicates the need for measures
to deter crime as well as improve detection and conviction rates.

d. SERVICE LEVEL GAPS: The water supply system of TMC suffers from NRW of 37%
which has resulted in inequitable distribution of water and low cost recovery which in turn
impedes the financial ability of TMC to sustain quality service. There is need for leakage

PROPOSED SOLUTIONS

ARG1: DIGITAL THANE INITIATIVE

ARG1.1 DIGI-THANE SYSTEM: The TMC Digi-Card will be used by TMC to continuously
engage with citizens. Digi-Thane System would be an integrated platform for for
providing personalised services digitally through app, web, email, SMS and smart card.
By allowing TMC to build a database of it citizens along with data on demographics and
their interests, it will enable TMC to carry out targeted dissemination of public messages
according to relevance and interest e.g. people residing in a particular ward may be
informed in advance if any road-digging activity is planned to be carried out in their
neighbourhood, people interested in cultural activities are informed about plays in nearby
theatres, senior citizens are informed about digital literacy programmes, etc. Further, the
Digi-Card will the use of e-wallet to pay for online municipal and merchant services as
well as bus and parking in the city.

ARG1.2 E-GOVERNANCE & SYSTEM INTEGRATION: shall improves transparency and

time required for departmental procedures. Further it will allow citizens to avail of
municipal services or get their grievances resolved through an online platform without
having to visit the Corporation. The e-governance module will also allow citizens to make
payments online for all municipal services thereby reducing the chances discretion in
service provision and corruption.

ARG1.3 CITY-WIDE CCTV SURVEILLANCE: The city-wide CCTV network will be used
by the Thane Police for surveillance and crime detection. CCTV cameras shall be
installed at visible locations to act as deterrent for crime. 24x7 monitoring of the city using
video analytics allows for real-time identification of incidences and timely action. Video
recording shall provide evidence which may be used to improve conviction rates. Further,
the installation of CCTVs at major junctions can also aid the Traffic Police in
understanding traffic patterns, making informed traffic management interventions and
enforcing greater adherence to traffic regulations among road-users.

ARG1.4 SMART METERING & ONLINE PERFORMANCE MONITORING: Continuous

online monitoring will allow decision makers to carry out improved utility management of
infrastructure. Smart meters will enable the study of water flows, identification of leakage
points and measuring of actual billed consumption.

ARG1.5 INTELLIGENT TRANSPORT SYSTEM: The ITS shall provide real-time updates
on position of bus and estimated time for arrival of the bus and could be utilized by TMT
as well as the 6.5 lakh+ public transport users in the city. It will facilitate better data-led

25. FRUGAL INNOVATION

Which is the model or ‘best practice’ from another city that you are adopting or adapting in your
proposal(s)? How are you innovating and ensuring best use of resources? Is there an aspect of ‘frugal
innovation’ in your proposal(s)? (max. 500 words)

The Digital Thane Initiative is expected to a) optimise service delivery, b) revolutionalise

the manner in which TMC and its citizens interact with each other, c) aid decision-making
and management of municipal services, d) reduce water losses and make cost recovery
more equitable, e) enhance safety and security of citizens f) improve digital connectivity
within the city and g) make public travel and planning more convenient for citizens.

1) Revolutionalizing the manner in which TMC and its citizens interact with each other
(Tel Aviv, Israel)
→ Thane Municipal Corporation currently engages with citizens through various cultural
programmes organized at Gadkari, Narendra Ballal and Kashinath Ghanekar cultural
theatres. TMC also organizes 'Happy Streets' - a pedestrian centric event, tree plantation
drives, sports events, etc. on a regular basis.
→ Thane aims to leverage Tel Aviv's experience with the resident card and club service
under the resident-oriented development programme. Through tie-up with a banking
partner this card will be crafted as a multi- purpose tool which can be used for paying for
municipal services, bus fares and will also find use for commercial transactions in the
future.

2) Aid decision-making and management of municipal services (Cape Town and Mumbai
→ TMC currently makes use of digital platforms for online tax payment, building
permission approval, addressing citizen grievances, accounting, etc. However, many of
its back-end process' and municipal performance reporting process' continue to rely on
had-copies which affects reliability and efficiency.
→ Cape Town has adopted an ERP solution to consolidate a variety of solutions
including water, sanitation, refuse collection, etc onto one dashboard to enable real-time
monitoring and response. Closer to home, MCGM is integrating SLB indicators as
prescribed by MOUD's handbook on a real-time basis for different administrative and
service jurisdictions
→ Borrowing from these experience Thane is now in the process of adopted an ERP
solution to digitize and integrate its back-end process'. This would further be expanded to
include an online performance monitoring system for the service rendered.
→ The initiative leverages existing instrumentation such as SCADA for sewerage and
weigh-bridge at solid waste transfer station along with new instrumentation installation
such as smart meters and SCADA system for water supply.

3) Enhance safety and security for citizens while improving digital connectivity within the
city (Liverpool, NSW, Australia)
→ TMC current faces an issue in terms of increasing crimes which is out-pacing the rate
of detections. TMC had previously set up CCTV surveillance for monitoring traffic signals
and developed a command and control for the traffic police through private developers in
lieu of 'transferrable development rights'.
→ While Thane has a high percentage of mobile phone users, further, TMC has also
begun an initiative of providing school children with tablets for e-learning purposes.
However, there is need for inclusive digital access to ensure that no-one is left behind.

Page 55 of 92
 INDIA SMART CITY MISSION

→ Thane aims to bank on Liverpool's experience of packaging free public wifi and
city-wide CCTV surveillance as one project which would share the fibre network laid
across the city. The project has been packed as a PPP project and the private player has
already been appointed. The project is being implemented at not only cost to TMC, but
will also earn a revenue of INR 56 lakhs/year.

5) Making use public travel convenient for citizens (Chicago)

→ Thane is in the process of expanding its city bus fleet from 300 buses to 630 buses.
→ As part of the area-based solution, Thane aims at developed a multi-modal hub with
dedicated infrastructure facilities for city buses.
→ Chicago Transit Authority initiated a web-based GPS-enabled bus tracker system for
better management of the bus operations and to increase bus ridership. The service
provides information to users about the real-time location of buses on a map and a
time-estimate for its arrival at a given bus-stop.
→ While 190 have been already been ordered no. of bus with GPS, the remaining will
be retrofit with GPS systems. In addition to the development of a mobile application
shows bus information to the citizens, TMC also proposes to set up LED displays at bus
stops.

27. CONVERGENCE IMPLEMENTATION

Describe how the convergence will be implement ed? (max. 350 words)

1. Jan Dhan Yojana

The TMC Digi-card project involves provision of TMC-branded payment cards to citizens
which can be used for cashless payment against municipal services.

2. Digital India
The free public WiFi initiative digitally empowers the citizens including those from
economically weaker classes who have no or limited internet access.
• Convergence with e-governance through ERP by making online applications and
tracking of their status possible, creating online repositories of local government related
documentation, and integration of services and platforms to facilitate integrated and inter

3. AMRUT
The Digital Thane Initiative allows TMC to achieve 3 AMRUT reforms pertaining to water
audit, e-governance and laying of fibre cable across the city on a PPP basis.
Thane has already achieved 21 of the 25 ULB reforms under AMRUT. Thus, through the
Smart City Mission, TMC shall achieve all 25 of the ULB reforms by 2018.

4. 14th Finance Commission

• Under the smart city project all water supply connections in the city will be metered.
This initiative is in convergence with the 14th finance commission recommendation of
100% metering of residential, commercial and institutional connections.
• In addition to this, the smart city project also includes up-gradation of the existing
e-governance suite and linking it with the existing service delivery systems for water
supply, sewerage, solid waste management and solid waste management (online and
offline) to bringing all service related datasets at a common platform. This initiative will
provide real time assessment of the service levels.
• These service level benchmarks will be published and disclosed to the public
periodically as recommended by 14th finance commission.

28. SUCCESS FACTORS

Describe the three most significant factors for ensuring the success of the pan-city proposal(s). What
will your city do if these factors turn out to be different from what you have assumed? (max. 250
words)

A. SUCCESS FACTORS:
1.POLITICAL BUY-IN: Local political acceptance of the proposed strategies is one of the
greatest strengths for Thane. The general body has approved proposals for almost all the
pan city project components - SCADA, smart metering, telescopic tariff, city-wide CCTV &
WiFi, ERP & ITMS.
2. QUICK-WIN SOLUTIONS: All the solutions proposed under the Digital Thane Initiative
are ones that are cost-effective, have immense city-wide impact and can be rolled out

Continue on next page

Page 59 of 92
 INDIA SMART CITY MISSION

within a year thereby delivering quick benefits to all the citizens (Annex 3 p.17).
3.PROJECTS AT ADVANCED STAGE OF PREPARATION: All 27 ERP modules have
been developed and tested. The ITMS component has already been tendered out and is
in the agreement signing stage. Tendering for CCTV and WiFi project is in the final stages
and the work is expected to be completed within the next 6 months. TMC is in the process
of appointing a consultant for DPR preparation for water metering and monitoring
systems. All this goes to show TMC’s commitment towards the projects.
4. ERP AS BACKBONE INFRASTRUCTURE: The soon to be rolled out ERP system that
is currently in the testing stage shall serve as a robust, scalable and secure backbone
infrastructure for all the other ICT interventions that have been proposed under the Digital
Thane Initiative.

B. BACK UP PLAN:
A principal consultant will be appointed by the SPV for overall assistance in delivering
outcomes. Some of the responsibilities of such a consultant would include monitoring
adherence to service levels by various vendors, gauging success of initiatives and
suggesting improvements if required. Moreover, in the unlikely eventuality of a shortfall of
private funds, TMC has repeatedly demonstrated its strong financial capability to
undertake large-scale projects. Further, the non-capital intensive nature of the pan city
project would not contribute to any financial strain on TMC.

29. BENEFITS DELIVERED

How will you measure the success of your pan-city proposal(s) and when will the public be able to
‘see’ or ‘feel’ benefits: immediately, within Year 1, or in t he medium or long term, 3-5 years? (max. 150
words)

A. MMEDIATE (within 12 months)

Goal 6.2 Improved Administrative Efficiency: ERP module goes live enabling the linking
of all municipal services onto a single platform; citizens can begin to avail of municipal
services, make and track complaints / applications online without having to visit the
Corporation.
Goal 6.6 Improved Bus Operations: ITS goes live leading to improved fleet management,
app/web based real time route guidance for TMT buses, passenger information system
both on-board as well as at bus stops, improved journey planning for citizens and TMT.
B. SHORT-TERM (1 to 3 years)
Goal 6.1 Improved TMC-Citizen Interaction: Digi-card goes live enabling TMC to deliver
targetted public information to citizens depending on interests and relevance and easing
payment for various services through the Digi-Card.
Goal 6.3 Enhanced City Safety: The outcome of the CCTV surveillance project shall be
felt in terms of reduced incidences of crime in the city.
Goal 6.4 Digital Empowerment: through the provision of free public Wi-Fi across the city.
C. MEDIUM TERM (3 to 5 years)
Goal 6.5 Improved Service Delivery: As soon as the online performance monitoring
system goes live, the reliability of core urban services i.e. water supply, sewerage and
SWM improves.

E. FINANCIAL PLAN
The development of bankable proposals will be a key success factor in the Smart City Mission. In order to
arrange appropriate amounts and types of funding and financing for your SCP, you must keep financial
considerations always in mind while preparing your overall strategy and the pan-city and area-based
proposals. It is anticipated that innovative means of funding and financing the projects will be necessary. For
this purpose, you must evaluate the capacity of the ULB and the SPV to undertake self-funded development
projects, the availability of funds from other government schemes that will converge in your S CP (refer
Questions 13 and 26), and the finance that can be rais ed from the financial market.

38. RESOURCES PLAN

Describe the financing sources, the own-sources of income, the financial schemes of the Cent ral or
State governments for which your city/SPV is eligible, which can be used to fund the S CP proposals
and pay back loans. Briefly describe an action-plan for resource improvement to make the ULB
financially self-s ustaining. (max. 1500 words)

1. FINANCING SOURCES (see Annex. 3, p.19)

a) TMC's own budget (considering past 5 years performance)
Key facts:
- Average annual revenue income: INR 1288 crores
- Average annual capital income (through own sources): INR 590 crores
- Average annual revenue surplus: INR 504.2 crores (40% of revenue income)
Investment capacity:
- INR 293 crores per annum (considering business as usual)
- INR 870 crores per annum (with financial and operational reforms)
b) Grant through state/national missions
Smart City Mission
- Grant funding of INR 978 crores to each city selected under the mission: GOI INR Rs.
488 crs; GOM Rs.245 crs; Rs. 245 crs.
- Applicable to all projects included in the area-based development and solutions in the
pan-city proposal.

AMRUT
- 33.33% share by Center, 20% by State and 46.33% to be contributed by the ULB
- All components of Urban Environment (Item 4 in Response to Q.37) will be funded
under AMRUT. Total cost of Rs. 125 crs of which TMC share is Rs.57.9 crs
- TMC has already submitted the Service Level Improvement Plan for water supply and
sewerage projects to the State Government.

c) Central Government institutions

Central Road Fund
- The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways maintains a INR 20,000+ crore Central
Road Fund which is funded through cess levied on petrol and diesel
- Cess levied on petrol and diesel across the country is contributed to this fund
- Improvement of national highways is one of the key applications of this fund.

The Teen Haath Naka junction improvement project costing Rs. 240 crs is proposed to
be funded under CRF.

d) Private Financing

Real Estate
- Thane is the largest city in the metropolitan region after Mumbai and one of the
preferred suburbs
- The real estate prices in Thane are INR 8,000/sq.ft for residential and INR 16,000/sq.ft
for commercial property. In other words, about 300% to 600% of the construction cost.
- This makes redevelopment project attractive for private investment

Continue on next page

Page 78 of 92
 INDIA SMART CITY MISSION

Projects with market guarantee from TMC

- Given TMC's financial health, PPP projects structured with TMC as the market
guarantor (ESCO or tipping fee models) are attractive for private investors

Citizen contribution
- Beneficiary contribution can be effective financing source in case of projects where the
beneficiaries of the initiatives can be distinctly identified, and a mechanism to ensure
payment exists.

2. IMPROVING ULB's FINANCING CAPACITY

i. Revenue reforms in property tax, water charges and sewerage charges

a) Property tax:
-Improving coverage of the properties and updating the assessment register.
-Improving the overall collection efficiency from 72% to 95%
-Separate cell for appellate to deal with defaulters and resolving the long pending arrears
b) Water charges:
-Existing coverage of functional metered connection to be improved to achieve 100%
metering of all the water connections within the Thane city.
-Regular assessment drives and revision of tax base periodically
-Separate cell for appellate to deal with defaulters and resolving the long pending arrears
and litigation cases.
-Also, to create awareness campaigns towards use of online payment gateway for
payment of charges online

ii. Expenditure management initiatives

Over the review period, the revenue and capital expenditure of TMC have been
increased. In order to reduce the revenue and capital expenditure at TMC, the following
key initiatives are to be taken up by TMC.
- Outsourcing of certain functions: TMC should explore outsourcing of some functions in
order to reduce the establishment expenditure.
- TMC can outsource the clerical posts such as data entry operators and clerks to reduce
the establishment cost.

iii. Asset management initiatives

The establishment of linkages between asset creation and asset management should be
through a series of reforms that will ensure project sustainability. Also, ensuring
adequate funds to meet the deficiencies in urban infrastructural services is
recommended.
In order to maintain the assets over the project’s life-cycle, TMC should allocate a certain
percentage of funds for the operation and maintenance of the project components. For
instance, as regards the water supply project, the O&M cost would be 5% of the project
cost and this would be on a recurring basis.

a) Depreciation account/fund
TMC should ideally try to maintain the depreciation account in order to replace the
existing asset with a new asset post its life-cycle.
b) Key steps to be taken by TMC for better management of assets
- TMC should focus on department wise budget preparation for O&M cost for newly
created assets, and provide the best practice to reduce the O&M cost on sewerage and
solid waste management

Continue on next page

Page 79 of 92
 INDIA SMART CITY MISSION

- Carry out water and energy audit to reduce the O&M cost and water leakages (NRW)
Study the existing status of the assets of key sectors, prepare a tangible action plan for
the maintenance of assets, and provide the replacement list for the assets
- Conduct workshops/trainings for the staff on management of O&M and best practices
across the states
- Organize study tours for the staff and elected representatives for effective
implementation of reforms, for full O&M recovery
- Latest techniques and technology to be adopted for management (inventory,
maintenance cycle, replacement time, etc.) of municipal assets
- Conduct trainings in the area of asset management, new techniques for operation and
maintenance of assets.

iv. Financial management initiatives

In order to implement the identified projects over the project cycle, TMC has to take up
financial management initiatives for smooth implementation of the projects. The key
initiatives are as follows:
- First and foremost, the accounts department of TMC should maintain a separate
account for all projects. Financial transactions such as deposits, grants and release of
payments should be carried out through the project account.
- Carry out all the above-mentioned functions through e-governance modules developed
by TMC.
- Transfer a part of the revenue surplus (own source of revenues) to the project account
to implement the project. A record of such transactions should be maintained.
- Internal audit of the project accounts should be carried out on a quarterly basis.
External audit has to be carried out on an annual basis.

3: Financing Gap
The following project cost components do not have the funding tied-up and would
require approvals from relevant agencies/departments:
→ New suburban railway station - Funding required from Central Railways..INR 30 Cr.
→ Teen haath naka junction improvement- Funding required under CR.........INR 240 Cr.
→ Improving urban environment - Funding reqd. from State/Central Govt..... INR 67.1Cr.
Total Financing Gap......................................................................................INR 337.1 Cr

The resourcing plan has identified Rs. 337.1 Cr. of funding gap should the public
agencies / departments do not approve the above projects. TMC can raise a debt upto
Rs.919 Cr to meet its investment needs. The SPV will take a loan based on the finances
of TMC and also guaranteed by TMC to meet this financing gap should the funding
under AMRUT, CRF and Central Railways does not materialise.

40. REVENUE AND PAY-BACK

How will the area based development and the pan-city smart solutions(s) of your city be financed? If
you plan to seek loans or issue bonds, what revenue sources will be used to pay back the loans ?
(max. 250 words)

Should the funding under AMRUT, Central Railways and CRF fail to materialise, the
possible financing gap may be Rs. 337.1 Cr. However, it seems unlikely that such a
situation will arise. Even if such a situation arises, loans equivalent to the shortfall can be
easily raised given that the debt raising capacity of TMC is Rs. 919 Cr. (see Annex 3,
p.20)

A loan for this amount to be repaid over ten years will mean interest and principal
payments amounting to Rs. 55 Cr. per annum.

TMC is projected to get about Rs. 90 Cr. annually under the 14th Finance Commission
devolution. This amount escrowed will ensure that an adequate payment security
mechanism exists for repayment of the loan obligations.

41. RECOVERY OF O&M

What is your plan for covering the Operations & Maintenance costs for each of the
activities/components identified in Questions 31? (max. 1000 words)

All the projects proposed in the SCP can be broadly categorised into two heads:
a. SPV funded projects
b. Privately financed projects

A. SPV Funded Projects

The O&M costs for all SPV funded projects put together over a period of 10 years i.e.
until 2026 amounts to INR 460.36 crores. The itemised annual O&M cost break up for
these projects along with revenue source for covering these O&M costs have been
described below for each project component of the SCP:

1. Improving mobility around Thane railway station

a. New suburban station - INR 15 crores
b. Multi-modal facility - INR 13 crores
c. Teen Haath naka Junction Improvement - INR 4.80 crores
d. Parking management - INR 1.50 crores
e. Pedestrian improvements - INR 1.25 crore
Sources for generating operating revenue: Enhanced property tax, user charges for
parking facilities and smart city betterment charges levied by the SPV

2. Enhancing the natural habitat for better living

a. 3 Lake front Development - INR 0.3 crores
b. 1.5 km Waterfront Development - INR 4.5 crores
Sources for generating operating revenue: Enhanced property tax and smart city
betterment charges levied by the SPV

3. Improving water and sanitation

a. Water supply network remodelling - INR 1.75 crores
b. Sewerage works - INR 1.25 crores
c. Nalla works - INR 2.5 crores
d. Decentralised solid waste processing - INR 1 crore
e. Urban restrooms - INR 0.25 crores
Sources for generating operating revenue: Smart city betterment charges levied by
SPV,enhanced water tax, sewerage tax and special cleaning tax, enhanced revenue
from water supply user charges as a result of metering and telescopic tariff, SWM
charges from residential as well as commercial establishments and user charges for
urban restrooms.

4. Digital Thane Initiative

a. Digi-Card - INR 6 crores
b. ERP - INR 0.24 crores
c. Online performance monitoring - INR 1.6 crores
d. ITMS - INR 0.4 crores

Sources for generating operating revenue: Enhanced property tax, enhanced revenues
from TMT bus ticket sales due to increased ridership, enhanced revenue from water

 INDIA SMART CITY MISSION

supply user charges as a result of better utility management and revenue share accrued
from city-wide CCTV & Wi-Fi project .

On the whole, the average annual O&M expenditure on the smart city projects for Thane
is INR 41.85 crores. If one assumes an improved case scenario where TMC undertakes
revenue enhancement measures, the average annual closing balance of TMC after
accounting for regular capital expenditure and capital expenditure incurred on the smart
city projects is INR 232 crores. This demonstrates TMC's ability to cover the O&M
expenses of all non-privately financed smart city projects.

B. Privately Financed Projects:

1. Inclusive housing for 1 lakh population
Since the brownfield redevelopment project is to be carried out by a private developer,
the O&M costs of the township shall be collectively borne by the Developer and the
citizens residing in this township.

2. City-wide CCTV surveillance & Public Wi-Fi

This project shall be implemented on a PPP basis. The entire O&M shall be borne by
the private player.

43. FALL-BACK PLAN

What is your plan for mitigating financial risk? Do you have any alternatives or fall-back plans if t he
financial assumptions do not hold? (max. 250 words)

- Out of the total project investment of INR 5404 crores, INR 4100 crores (75%) is
expected to be met through private investments

- Of the expenditure to be undertaken by SPV, most projects are low-cost initiatives (< INR
30 crores). There are three large projects wherein the investment exceeding INR 200
crores - the new station development, the multi-modal facility and the waterfront project.

- Given that the SPV will not be taking any commercial debt, it does not face interest risks.
Also, since the funding is entirely domestic, it does not incur any currency risk. The only
potential risk relates to that of cost over-runs.

- The cumulative investment in the three larger projects amounts to INR 785 crores.
Considering a worst-case of 50% increase in the estimated costs, the risk exposure
amounts about INR 400 crores.

- TMC has accrued an average annual revenue surplus INR 500 crores over the last 5
years. In the case of an emergency, TMC can limit all non-critical capital expenditure and
fund the SPV's deficit. (see Annex 3, p.20)

- IL&FS has offered to support the Smart City Mission of Thane through debt funding
through its PMDO facility of upto INR 500 crores.
