‘PLANNING’ more important than ‘PLAN’ Initial cost estimate = INR 98.45 Cr. (Plan)

Included cost of civil works of corridor only Cost ‘EXTRAs’ not planned for

Land acquisition Utility laying / shifting Relocation of religious structures Stations Buses ITS (AVLS + AFCS + Signalling)

EXTRA Costs amounting to INR 300 Cr.

Lack of Strategic Partnerships Initially Delhi BRT design model followed for Indore However, Delhi BRT turned unsuccessful Ahmedabad BRT introduced – proved huge success Decision to change Indore BRT design to

Ahmedabad BRT design model Corridor construction was underway Design change involved re-configuring of utility

ducts Further additions to cost and timelines Partnerships with BRT experts at the outset would

have avoided such time and money losses

Technical Expertise Limited capacity at AICTSL Adequate technical expertise not

available with government to provide assistance / guidance to AICTSL

External consultation came with a price-tag

Project Publicity Lot of negative publicity received from press

and media BRTS blamed for ‘any’ and ‘every’ traffic

incident along BRT corridor by media and experts

National-level committees throw negative light on Indore project No consultation with AICTSL / IMC

Limited awareness among people and media presents great challenges for BRTS

Partnership Partnership with EMBARQ India

bridged the knowledge gap for the BRT project

BRT’s Impact on Urbanisation in Indore New Malls, Hotels, Hospitals, Corporate

Offices etc. have developed since project inception

Premium on FAR in commercial buildings presents significant funding generation

Lack of external funding support Funding commitments from government

sources not received Funding from World Bank for ITS project

available, but not flexible to suit the changes over time

AICTSL had no other streams of revenue to fund excesses

DELAYED

Innovations in alternate funding generation All land acquisition done using Transfer

of Develop Rights (TDR) model Savings to the tune of INR 250-300 Cr.

Advertisement rights along entire corridor transferred to AICTSL from IMC

Proposed share of Urban Transport Fund (UTF) tax being introduced in Indore

Proposed share of Land Value Capture Increased FAR – new building permissions Sale/purchase of property
