1. CONSTRUCTION OF
ROPEWAY PROJECTS
AT VARIOUS DESTINATIONS OF
MADHYA PRADESH
5th March 2021
GROUP 2

2. ABOUT THE PROJECT
■ Ropeway means a device, excluding an elevator, used to transport passengers along a level,
inclined or declined path by means of a haul rope or other flexible elements that is driven by a
power unit that remains essentially at a single location.
■ There are basically five (5) types of suspended aerial ropeway systems worldwide that can be
considered as cable Propelled Transit (CPT):
i. Mono- cable Gondola
ii. Bi- cable Gondola
iii. Tri-Cable Gondala
iv. Pulse Gondola and
v. Jig-Back/Dual line Tramway

3. MONOCABLE- GONDALA
Carrying Capacity: 1,000 to 4,500 passengers
per hour, per direction
Cabin Capacity: 8 to 12 passengers
Headways: 10 to 30 seconds 67
Max Speed: 21 KMPH
ROW Width: 12m to 18 m
The Mono-Cable Gondola is a single cable, detachable grip
system where the Vehicles (cabins) detach and attach to
the moving haul cable (wire rope) in the stations.
BI- CABLE
GONDOLA
The Bi-Cable Gondola system is the original lift
technology used for gondola cabin-type cableways.
Carrying Capacity: 1,000 to 5,000 passengers
per hour, per direction
Cabin Capacity: 15 to 20 passengers
Headways: 12 to 30 seconds
Max Speed: 30 kmph
ROW Width: 15m to 22m

4. TRI-CABLE GONDOLA
The Tri-Cable Gondola system is a more specialized
cableway technology used especially for long spans
and high-profile guideways
Carrying Capacity: 2,000 to 7,000 passengers per
hour, per direction
Cabin Capacity: 20 to 35 passengers
Headways: 15 to 45 seconds
Max Speed: 40 Kmph
ROW Width: 20m to 30m
PULSE GONDOLA
This type of system has limited application due
to its relatively low passenger carrying
capacities
Carrying Capacity: 300 to 700 passengers per
hour, per direction
Cabin Capacity: 6 to 10 passengers
Headways: 2 to 5 minutes
Max Speed: 15 kmph
ROW Width: 12m to 20m

5. JIG-BACK AND DUAL-LINE GONDOLA
The Jig-Back and Dual Line Aerial Tramway system is the
original aerial cableway technology used for transit or general
public transportation
Carrying Capacity: 500 to 2,000 passengers per hour, per
direction
Cabin Capacity: 50 to 200 passengers
Headways: 4 to 15 minutes
Max Speed: 40 Kmph
ROW Width: 30m

6. ROPEWAYS IN MADHYA PRADESH
■ Initially In Phase 1, there are 2 different locations were Identified in Madhya
Pradesh for Proposal of Ropeways.
■ The locations are selected purely based on Increase in demand of Tourist
footfall & demand for project.
■ Selected Locations
1. Omakreshwar – Dist. Indore
2. Sailani Island – (Near Omkareshwar)- Dist. Indore.

7. METHODOLOGY USED : STRUCTURE
OF PROJECT (STEPS)
1. Site Data collection and evaluation
2. Identify the suitable locations for terminal stations (LTP & UTP)
3. Fixing up the Ropeway Alignment
4. Topography Survey and Traffic Survey of Alignment
5. Geo Tech Investigation Survey of Alignment
6. Analysis of data and Selection of ropeway-systems
7. Cost overview of evaluated systems
8. Evaluation of ropeway-systems and conclusion (If Found Feasible in Step 7)
9. Project Cost Estimation and Financial ROR

8. OMKARESHWAR – DIST. INDORE
■ Omkareshwar is a Hindu temple dedicated to Lord Shiva situated on Mandhata Island.
■ The temple is one of the 12 Jyotirlingas of Lord Shiva which are spread throughout
India and is closely linked with the Mamleshwar Temple which is situated on the southern
end of the Narmada River.
■ Omkareshwar temple is located in Omkar Hill across the Narmada River and pilgrims
visits temple from Omkareshwar by two bridges.
■ After Omkareshwar, Gauri Somnath is the most important temple in Godarpura – another
name for Mandhata Island
■ Gauri Somnath Temple is about 3.6 Km from Omkareshwar. It is located on the top of
Omkar Hill on the parikrama path.
Proposed Site : Gauri Somnath Temple to JP Chowk

9. Identify the suitable locations for terminal stations
(LTP & UTP)
■ LTP is proposed at MP Tourism
View Point, beside JP Chowk
UTP is proposed Near Gauri Somnath
Temple, Omkar Hill
The land is a Govt. land and belongs to tourism department

10. Fixing up the Ropeway Alignment
(Topographic Survey)
MP Tourism View Point – Near Gauri Somnath Temple, Omkar Hill

11. Data Collection & Analysis
Traffic Data
■ Floating population : 281 x 5000 = 1405000
■ Festival (36 Number) in a year : 3678000
■ Total Sunday in a year : 48 x 20000 = 960000
■ Total Traffic in a year =6488000
Forecast of Ropeway Ridership:
• 20% of annual average traffic is
considered to be willing to use
ropeway in year 2019.
• Working days has been assumed as
330 days in a year.
• 2% per year growth is considered
in pessimistic scenario for calculation
of financial viability.

12. Financial Feasibility :

13. SAILANI ISLAND – (Near OmkarEshwar
)
■ Sailani Island is located in the backwaters of Omkareshwar dam near
Jyotirlinga temple.
■ The project is being developed under Madhya Pradesh State Tourism
development Corporation (MPSTDC) as part of their plans to develop new
tourism zones in the region with an aim to attract more tourist
■ This is one of the most unique and incomparable water sports tourist
destinations in Madhya Pradesh which provides a relaxing yet adventurous
escape for vacationers.
Proposed Site :Sailani Ferry Pick up point to Sailani Island MPT
Resort

14. Identify the suitable locations for terminal stations
(LTP & UTP)
The land belongs to Forest Department.
LTP is proposed on the bank of river Narmada
and just beside Ferry Pick up
UTP is Located inside Sailani Island Resort area.
The land belongs to tourism department.

15. Fixing up the Ropeway Alignment
(Topographic Survey)
Proposed Site :Sailani Ferry Pick up point to Sailani Island MPT
Resort

16. Data Collection & Analysis
The Resort : 23 rooms
Occupancy 25%
Therefore per day traffic to Sailani Island= 25% x 23 x 2= 11.50
Traffic in 330 days= 11.50 x 330 = 3795 per year.
Because of no future development in Sailani Island, traffic for the same will
remain constant.
Assumptions made :
25% traffic is considered to be willing to use ropeway.
• Working days has been assumed as 330 days in a year.
• 8 hour operation is considered in a day.
• Growth rate is not considered as there is no future plan by
government.

17. Financial Feasibility :

18. Comparisons of Two Study Conducted :

19. Result :
■ Omkareshwar is found both Technically & Financially
Feasible. So it can be procceded in PPP Mode.
■ Salani Island is found Technically Feasible but not
Financially Viable. Alternate modes of Method of
Funding like VGF, Bilateral or Multilateral funding may
be proposed if necessary.

20. PROPSOED ROPEWAY SYSTEM : Omkareshwar
■ While selection of right technology, we need to keep few points at back of mind like sustainability, future maintenance
support and lower operations cost etc.
■ The Circulating Mono-cable Detachable Gondola System is recommended for this section and it is selected for
the following reasons:
1. Ninety percent of all currently operating CPT (Cable
Propelled Transit) systems are mono-cable
gondolas, because they are least expensive to build
and operate.
2. The transportation industry and CPT operators have
the most experience with this type of Ropeway
technology
3. Tower and other components are standard and
can be constructed in less than 12 months once
all approvals are in place

21. Selection of Financial Model: PPP Models
Given below are the basic PPP models that are prevalent in project development.
■ Management Contract
■ Lease Contract
■ Build-Operate-Transfer ( These include DBO, DBFOT, BOOT, DBOOT, BOO, etc )
In DBFOT model which is a variant of BOT, the private sector has to
perform Design, Build, Finance, Operate, Maintain the newly built asset for
a particular period of time and Transfer the asset back to the public sector
after lease time is over.
Recommendation : DBFOT Model

22. KEY CONDITIONS IN PPP CONTRACT :
■ Owned, Operated and Managed /built and installed/operated & managed at least one project in
Core Sector having minimum project cost of Rs. 100 Crores (Rupees One Hundred Crores only)
excluding land cost
■ The project should have been undertaken as a PPP project on BOT, BOLT, BOO, BOOT or on
EPC/Turnkey project basis or other similar basis for providing its output or services to a public sector
entity
a) Owned, operated & managed / built and installed / operated & managed at least 1 (one) BIS
standard Passenger Ropeway System with minimum carrying capacity of 200 PPHPD.
Or
An Indian standard OEM ropeway technology supplier.

23. What were the key risks of the
Government and its allocation?
■ Every project is executed with risks in mind.
■ Mitigation measure of risks are through the following allocations:
■ Setup Viability Gap Funding (VGF)
■ Setup Project Development Fund (PDF) to the tune of few crores proposed for studies, EIAs,
capacity building, consultant hiring, etc.
■ Some Reserve Fund for unknown Risks that can be authorized only if the risks actually
happen
■ Financial support at evaluation and implementation phases of PPP projects
■ Facilitating Multilateral/ Bilateral Funding and Externally Aided Projects
■ Evaluate & Recommend for State Support
■ BCG may be brought down
■ Revenue has to be shared in term of percentage

24. Raise a realistic or an imaginative problem after
the contract was entered into and suggest how
did you solve the problem?
■ Accident may be avoided by imparting trainings to the teams
■ The weak capacity of the Government staff may be enhanced through
continuous capacity building
■ Natural calamity may be handled through Force Majeure
■ Concession Agreement mechanism should be robust
■ Fee collected for operating the delivery of the project may be revised with
current CPI
■ Emergency Funds may be included in contract for unforeseen situations.
■ Monthly/ quarterly maintainance & monitoring should also be a part of Govt.
as well as private party.
