SMART CITIES IN INDIA: MOVING FROM CONCEPT TO REALITY
This session witnessed people from a number of government organisations. Tarun
Kapoor, IAS, Joint Secretary from the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy
reected his thoughts on the energy sector, also bringing into limelight the need for
renewable energy and its advantages. He emphasised over the use of solar
rooftops and said that about one-and-a-half lakh megawatt energy can be
generated by bringing it into use. Later, this energy can be used for several
household chores such as cooking and air-conditioning. In addition, he said that the
country needs to concentrate towards proper waste management. He also talked
about some examples of conserving energy like the use of LED, DC fans, etc.
Sameer Sinha, Chief Sales and Marketing Ofcer, Indus Towers, talked about
more automation of systems, manual interaction and conversion of data into
usable information. He said, “This is the more opportune time for the
government as well as private parties to come together and work towards an
integrated approach for the formation of smart cities.” Indus Towers is India's
largest telecom tower company with 1,18,687 towers all across the country.
“We have saved USD3bn in capital expenditure through sharing telecom
infrastructure,” informed Sinha. He also told that the rm is currently engaged

6. Like most of the other dignitaries, Kasturi Sengupta, Commissioner, Durgapur
Municipal Corporation, also expressed her views on the development of smart
cities in the country. According to her, a city is smart only when it comprises
sustainable, measurable, time-based and affordable things. She also said that
out of a total population of 60 lakh in Durgapur, 28 per cent is migratory. These
people come in the hope of a better living. “However, providing them services is a
huge challenge,” she added. She highlighted the fact that most of the land is
owned by the industry which makes it difcult for the corporation to provide
accommodation to its citizens. “As of now, there are 55,000 homeless families in
Durgapur. Moreover, basic amenities like water and electricity are unavailable to
the citizens,” she asserted.“Nonetheless, keeping all the drawbacks aside,
Durgapur is trying hard to go ahead with smart interventions,” she concluded.
Among the dignitaries was Anant Kumar, Chief Engineer, New Delhi Municipal
Council (NDMC) who told the august gathering that NDMC, comprising 42.7
kms of area with a population of three lakh people, has been selected in the rst
list to be developed as a smart city. He proudly told that NDMC is independent
for basic services like water and electricity. “We have created a lot of public
toilets in NDMC, but their maintenance is a difcult task. Also, instead of
spending the revenue on these, we are rather getting revenue from these
toilets,” he added. He also told that in some of those toilets, there are facilities
like machines for checking blood sugar and blood pressure, which make these
toilets smart indeed. Regarding electricity, he said, “We are trying to convert
15,000 electric poles into smart poles. These will have cameras and will provide
Wi-Fi connectivity in the near future.
SMART CITY & THE URBAN CHALLENGE
Suneet Manjavkar, Asia Consultant (Product Sales), Bentley Systems India Pvt
Ltd, began the session with his speech. He said, ”The new age of smart cities
involves evolution of the existing cities with the application of technologies to
meet urban challenges and address the complexities of everyday operations
with informed decisions. The progressive and adaptive approach shown by
urban local bodies and institutes have depicted encouraging results in India for
advancing infrastructure development and is emerging as an e-kranti for making
our cities livable and a happy dwelling place for each one of us.”

overcome so that the idea of smart cities can be implemented in a better way for
the convenience of citizens.
Qiao Rulin from China-based rm Bioland Environmental Technologies that
specialises in waste comprehensive treatment and equipment manufacturing,
talked about proper waste management in the era of smart cities. The rm was

devices. Rulin also told that since its inception, Bioland has been working on 60
projects in more than 30 cities. In his presentation, with the help of various
diagrams, he also talked about the several technologies used for proper waste
management such as landll technology, fermentation technology, farm waste
integrated treatment and various others. Besides, he told how biogas is formed
using the waste material and is further used for a number of purposes.
100 SMART CITIES IN INDIA: NEED FOR INNOVATION & INTEGRATED APPROACH
The key dignitaries who were a part of this session highlighted the need for
smart cities and brainstormed the ideas for a better approach towards these.
Saurabh Arora, VP- Sales, The Antriksh Group, brought into limelight various
ingredients of a smart city, including smart governance, smart living, smart
people, smart mobility and smart environment, among others. He further said
that we just need smart solutions for a better urban planning. “We need to have

Lisa Tullus, Consultant, Business Sweden, Swedish Trade And Invest Council
told that Sweden has a population of 10 million and in 2014, its GDP was USD571
bn. Going back in the era of 90s, she informed that Sweden was the most oil-
dependent company at that time. That apart, the lakes of Stockholm were so
clean that one could drink its water. However, in today's era, such a scenario is not
feasible. Talking more about such scenarios, she at last congratulated the Indians
for its Gujarat International Finance Tec-city (GIFT), which is an under-
construction central business district between Ahmedabad and Gandhinagar in
the state of Gujarat. Lisa Tullus

smart city,” she concluded.
