Financial Success of Delhi Metro

7

Challenges in Implementation • Delhi Metro Project is the biggest urban intervention

since Independence.

• Project is to be executed in very difficult urban environment.

• Being in the capital city all actions under close scrutiny of VVIPs.

• Project approved on completion cost.

• The Project implementation period extremely compressed and strict completion targets.

• Metro being constructed to world class standards with frontline technologies.

Challenges

• The sensitivities of the city to be respected during construction – No hardship or inconvenience to the public – Calcutta Experience.

• Each day’s delay in completion of project costs DMRC Rs. 2.3 Cr (Rs. 1.4 Cr by way of escalation and Rs.90 lakh by loss of revenues).

• Large scale land acquisition in the city

• Tree cutting permission- Substantial No. of trees are transplanted.

- For every tree cut, compulsory afforestation of 10 trees is undertaken.

• Utility diversions for Telecom, Electrical, Sewerage & Water pipe lines

• Special permissions such as for Ridge (Reserve Forest) Land, from Archaeological Survey of India , National Monument Authority

Management based on trust

Project Monitoring at all Stages

Tendering & Award of work• General philosophy – success of the project depends

upon success of the contractors.• Tenders from Pre-qualified list of bidders• A unique filtering criterion evolved for prequalification

covering vital items of technical & financial capabilities of the tenderers

• Objective evaluation criteria based on ‘scoring system’ • The tender conditions finalized keeping in view the JBIC

Procurement guidelines, FIDIC document and Indian Contract Act .

• Full powers for dealing with the tenders within organization

• Tenders are decided fast – so that no lobbying is possible.

Monitoring during execution• Contractors prepare detailed Base – line work

schedule for execution including duration of activities and identification of critical activities/path

• Close monitoring of work schedule, mobilization of ‘Manpower’, ‘Machinery & Plant’ and ‘Materials’

• Weakly meetings with Contractors for planning the work and solving their problems.

• Practical approach to solve the genuine problems of contractors.

• Failing contractors are enabled to perform by timely assistance.

• Streamlined prompt payment procedure and quick decision-making.

• Stringent penalties for failures to deliver.• Prompt resolution of claims.• Round the clock supervision guaranteed

• Strict independent quality & safety audit.

• Monthly progress presentations by the contractors

• DMRC directly handles works pertaining to other Government and Civic Departments to speed up.

Have been able to establish that we are different than the normal executing agencies and mean business.

Interface Management

• Interface Management - “Access dates” and “Key dates” listed in contract document itself.

•The important items which require interface with other contractors are clearly identified and indicated in contracts.

•Other contractors with whom the contractor has to interface are also clearly defined.

Monitoring during Testing & Commissioning

• Each activity of testing identified and duration of all these activities pre-determined

• Trials conducted as per schedule pre-determined jointly by System Contracts

• Service trial schedules also laid out in advance

• Sufficient time provided before actual commissioning

Training and motivation of employees

– A rigid screening process for inducting staff and officers.

– Training and exposure in the appropriate areas. – Management objectives and philosophy clearly

shared with executives and staff.– Chief Executive and Top Managers themselves set

an examples.– Immediate appreciation and reward for good work

done but no castigation for failures. – No witch hunting for genuine mistakes.Officers encouraged to take quick decisions . Tendency to

push decisions to higher levels curbed.

Public relations initiative– Works planned and managed with the least

inconvenience to the public. – Press regularly briefed on the progress and

programmes.– Community interaction at difficult work sites.– Proper barricading and good house keeping.– Proper signages, security men to guide traffic.– Special measures taken to protect the environment.

• Control on noise levels and vibrations during work.

• Washing tyres of vehicles. Performance is our best publicity. Have

been able to establish credibility with the public by delivery on time.

Benefits of Delhi Metro

• A study by CRRI has brought out benefits of Delhi Metro Phase-I and worked out EIRR = 19.96%.

Thus the entire cost of Phase-I recovered by the city of Delhi in 5yrs by 2010.
