Pune Metro plan & 4 FSI proposal - Presentation on Issues & Impacts (Sept 201...Prashant Inamdar
We are not against Metro as a mode of mass transport. Why Pune Metro project has become a matter of great concern is because despite serious issues, DMRC’s Pune Metro DPR was blindly approved by Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) without any independent study, transparency and public consultations. Subsequently PMC has also approved a proposal to grant 4 FSI in the Metro influence zone of 500 mtr on either side of Metro corridor. It is necessary that Citizens should have information about the Metro and 4 FSI plans so that they can form own opinion regarding whether they would want these plans to be implemented.
This presentation giving basic information about the Metro & 4 FSI plans and related issues & impacts has been prepared in a citizen friendly language & format for public information and awareness. (Updated in September 2014).

Effective learning from delhi brts –a case study of pune brtseSAT Journals
Abstract This paper emphasizes on the common problems endured by Delhi and Pune BRTS corridor. Urban Traffic commutation has an eloquent place in urban life. BRTS is a very old form of public transport, but it is still a new concept for developing countries like India, because of its psychological aspects. Bus Rapid Transit involves synchronized improvements in a transport system’s infrastructure, equipment, working, performance and technology that give preference to buses on urban roadways. This paper gives an overall outlook of Delhi and Pune BRT systems and observed some common problems in operating both the system, and some recommendations are mentioned so that could help improving Pune BRTS immensely and influentially and have a better result avoiding bottlenecksthose faced byDelhiBRTS.The main present study intent to highlight the problems and to overcome those problems.

Study of Key Factors Determinant Choice of Rail-Based Mass TransitIJERA Editor
Pursuant to regulations of the Ministry of Transportation in 2002 about the type of transport based on the city
size, the metropolis with a population of more than 1 million inhabitants are required to have the urban mass
transit. Nevertheless, until now not all city-scale population of more than 1 million have mass public transport,
either bus or rail-based. Especially for rail-based mass transit, indicated the existing regulations have not been
able to challenge the development of rail-based urban mass transit. Learning from the literature study and the
experience of countries that already have rail-based urban mass transit it has acquired nine main factors to be
taken into account in developing a rail-based urban public transportation. This study was conducted by using
Analytical Hierarchy Process method which was further validated through the implementation of the On Focus
Group Discussion in the Jakarta City Transportation Council (DTKJ) as well as in the City Development
Planning Board (Bappeko) Surabaya. Finally, the initial result shown five sequences determining factor for the
determinant choice of rail-based mass transit, namely: fiscal or economic capacity of the region and society,
transport policy, integrated public transport, land use, fare and travel time. Furthermore, the acquisition results
of this study can be applied to the selected cities to address the challenges to urban mass transit development.
An increase in population has led to the growth of traffic in India. To ease the traffic situation in the country and make travel convenient for the people, the government has introduced the metro rail in many cities. It is a cheap mode of travel, which helps in reducing the energy consumption, is eco friendly, and is the reason behind the prevention of accidents. The modern design of metro coaches, the stylish appearance of metro stations, and superior comfort facilities are some of the reasons why metro is becoming popular in India.

CPPR in collaboration with the U.S. Consulate General in Chennai, organised a two-day international conference on ‘Indo-U.S. Relations: Change, Continuity and Transformation’ in Kochi on April 19-20, 2022, with a view to advancing the conversations in Indo-U.S. foreign policy cooperation. This is a publication of five research articles from the conference proceedings in five chapters.
The Centre for Public Policy Research (CPPR), Kochi, India and Monash University, Melbourne, Australia decided to come together to pool their academic and policy research capacities to build a robust research agenda on the Indo-Pacific. In March 2022, CPPR and Monash University hosted ‘Dialogue on Indo-Pacific Oceans Initiative (IPOI): Strengthening International Cooperation’ in a hybrid (physical-digital) format. Scholars from ASEAN, Australia, India and Japan were invited to discuss the various pillars of the IPOI and accelerated long-term growth in the Indo-Pacific region. The Dialogue was supported by the Department of Foreign Trade (DFAT), Government of Australia.
എന്തുകൊണ്ട് സ്വാതന്ത്ര്യം (Why Liberty) is the Malayalam translation of the book “Why Liberty” which was edited by Dr Tom G Palmer. The ideas presented in this book are about an alternative view of politics: a politics, not of force, but of persuasion, of live-and-let-live, of rejecting both subjugation and domination. Being a libertarian means not only refraining from harming the rights of other people, but also equipping yourself mentally to understand what it means for people to have rights, how rights create the foundation for peaceful social cooperation, and how voluntary societies work. This book is an invitation to think about important problems in new ways.
The book ‘India and Australia: Strengthening International Cooperation Through The Indo-Pacific Oceans Initiative’ is a compilation of research papers written by scholars from India, ASEAN countries, and Australia on strengthening international cooperation in the Indo-Pacific. The book is divided into three parts, based on the three key sessions of the Australia-India Indo-Pacific Oceans Initiative Partnership (AIIPOIP) Conference held in Kochi, in April 2022. The three themes of discussion include maritime security, tackling the issue of marine debris and litter in the Bay of Bengal, and the importance of smart ports.
The book 'Maritime Security Complexes of the Indo-Pacific Region' seeks to provide a net assessment of regional challenges and opportunities in this study of the Indo-Pacific region’s security dynamics viewed through the ‘maritime variant’ of the Regional Security Complex Theory. This volume aims to ascertain the regional security dynamics and assess securitization as a driving force. It infers the scope of traditional, non-traditional, and transnational security issues and their regional impact

The book “Self Control or State Control? You Decide” is a conglomerate of essays by John Tierney, Lisa Conyers, Jeffrey Miron, and several more that delve into the relationship between freedom and responsibility, their philosophical and scientific underpinnings, and the practical value of self-control. It further tries to provide its readers a sense of understanding of what Self-Control is and how exactly it is connected with one’s freedom. The book is both theoretical and practical, trying to make the readers understand how if one living in a society can follow self-control with utmost dedication can curb the restrictions placed by a state (governing figure) and enjoy one’s freedom to the core.

Kerala is one of the few states in the country considered to have taken serious efforts in transferring powers to Local Self Government (LSG) institutions for strengthening the decentralisation process. The high rate of urbanisation in the state calls for powerful LSG institutions in urban areas. More than 47 per cent of the state’s population live in urban areas. In such a scenario, institutions such as municipalities and corporations have an important role to play, as most of the urban issues can be best handled at the local level.
Even though the Kerala Municipality Act, 1994 entrusts the municipalities and corporations in the state with a list of functions, the institutions are not able to execute them efficiently. The Act, while laying down the provisions, gives the State Government overriding powers over LSG institutions. The operations of para-statal agencies in the domains of work parallel to LSG institutions lead to overlapping of powers, weakening the decentralisation process in the state.
The financial position of the municipalities and corporations in the state is very weak; they are highly reliant on grants from the Central and State Governments. The own revenue has only a meagre share in the total receipts of these institutions. While there is a large scope to increase the own revenue, the provisions in the Kerala Municipality Act giving excessive power to the State Government hinder its growth.
The municipalities and corporations in Kerala are functioning in a restrictive setting. The result is that they are unable to exercise the powers that are transferred to them. The paper aims at analysing the above issues and suggests measures to strengthen the process of decentralisation in Kerala.

The sheer size of the electorate in the most populous state of the country which chooses candidates over 403 constituencies makes the election in Uttar Pradesh the most closely fought and closely watched. The almost month long political battle was a triangular contest. The ruling Samajwadi Party forged an alliance with the Congress and entered in a seat sharing arrangement. While the BJP hopes to sustain the Modi wave which helped them win 71 out of the 80 Lok Sabha seats in 2014 elections, Mayawati would be hoping to get her caste- community arithmetic right, which had helped her seize power in 2007.

The primary objective of this paper is to study gold and consumer behavior. The respondents were consumers from various selected gold jewellery outlets in Cochin and Delhi. During the course of this study, the researcher tries to find the various incentives that encourage people to invest in general, and also the level of awareness and the general attitude of consumers towards gold as an investment. It also studies the consumer behavior of how people choose to buy gold, when they do and the various reasons for it. From the study it is found out that the demand for gold as an investment is gaining momentum among consumers, especially in Cochin and Delhi. The study also makes it clear that gold is price sensitive at low prices but it is insensitive to price increase, especially in Kerala. This finding has a lot of implications when Authorities formulate policies to curb consumption of gold.

Metro Rail and the City

2. Why the Metro?
• When evaluating mass transit options for Indian cities, metro
rail systems are given preference over surface systems due to the
belief that road-based bus systems cannot cater to the capacity
requirement as much as metro systems. In addition, metro rails
are perceived to have higher levels of comfort, speed, and
efficiency than bus systems.
• Promoters of metro systems claim that they reduce congestion
due to a shift of users from road-based motorized modes to
metro systems. This mode shift is claimed to result in reduced
air pollution and road accidents. However, the experience of
metro rails in low- and middle-income countries around the
world shows otherwise.
CPPR-Centre for Urban Studies
3. The Metro in India today:
• India has currently four operational metro rails, the Kolkata Metro in
West Bengal, the Delhi Metro and the Delhi Airport Express Link in
the national capital region (NCR) of Delhi, and the Bangalore Metro
(Namma Metro) in Karnataka.
• Similar rail projects are being planned and/or are under construction
in Ahmedabad in Gujarat, Bhopal and Indore in Madhya
Pradesh, Chandigarh and Ludhiana in Punjab, Jaipur in
Rajasthan, Kochi in Kerala, Pune and Mumbai in Maharashtra, and
Hyderabad in Andhra Pradesh.
• The Planning Commission proposal for urban transport in the
Twelfth Five-Year Plan (2012-17) has recommended all Indian cities
with a population in excess of two million should begin planning rail
transit projects, and cities with a population in excess of three million
should begin constructing them (Planning Commission 2011). The
estimated investment for the development of metro rails in Indian
cities is $26.1 billion (Planning Commission 2011).

4. • What proportion of trips can be served by metro systems in
Indian cities?
• As per Census 2011, 31% of the Indian population lives in
urban areas. Fifty-three cities have a population of more than
one million.

5. • According to the Ministry of Urban Development’s 2008
report, walking remains the dominant form of travel in cities.
• In cities with more than two million people, walking dominates
other modes, except in megacities with more than eight million
people.
• Even in big cities such as Mumbai and Hyderabad 80% of the
trips are less than 10 km. in length and 70% of the trips are less
than five km.
• In cities like Kochi and Pune, 97% of the trips are less than 10
km and 80% are shorter than 5 km. The average trip length in
medium and small-size cities is less than 5 km.

6. In cities such as Mumbai, Delhi, Hyderabad, and Pune, about
55%, 19%, 17%, and 19% of the population live in slums
respectively (Census 2011). This income group of people cannot
afford motorised public transport and are primarily dependent on
non-motorised transport (NMT) even for longer distances.
Only a small percentage of them use public transport for
commuting (Tiwari 2002). Shorter trip lengths and a high
percentage of low-income groups have resulted in a high modal
share of NMT in these places. As such, the modal share of NMT
is about 30% in cities with more than one million people, which
increases to nearly 60% in smaller cities

7. Does the metro actually save
time?
• Due to limited coverage of cities by rail-based systems (190 km
of the Delhi Metro covers only around 12% of the total area
within walking distance) as opposed to road-based bus
systems, a metro commuter spends a significant amount of time
on access (from origin to metro station) and egress (metro
station to destination).
• Due to this additional time, even though the average main-haul
(in-vehicle) speed in a metro is more than 30 km/hour, the
average door-to-door travel speed falls for a short trip compared
to a road-based system. Hence, metro systems have been found
to be favorable in terms of saving time only if trips are 10 km or
longer. (Mohan et al 2005).
CPPR-Centre for Urban Studies
8. • Longer travel time or distance and higher cost imply lower accessibility
and therefore a lower probability of using the system.
• Public transport provided by a metro rail or a bus system has a higher
probability of usage if it is easily accessible by users.
• This includes accessible stations in terms of time, distance, safety, and
convenience.
• 500 meters (m) or less is the preferred walking distance, persons living
along the metro line within walking distance have the highest
accessibility to it. The area within 500 m from metro stations will be
18% of the total area of the national capital territory of Delhi after the
four phases of the metro are completed (Advani 2010).
• Thus, even after the implementation of the four phases, 82% of the
area of Delhi will be beyond walking distance of the metro.
• The share of bus trips will always remain higher than metros as they
are more convenient for short trips. In a best-case scenario, if all the
potential trips are converted to actual usage by different modes (which
is unlikely), buses and a metro will together address the needs of about
50% of total trips, and the remaining 50% will require infrastructure
for bicycles, rickshaws, and pedestrians.

9. • It can be concluded that if a city decides to invest in a metro
system regardless of city size, it is for a small proportion of total
trips.
• Usually in cities with a population of two to three million, the
proportion of trips that are potentially metro trips will be less
than 5%. In future, with population growth, these cities may
have a population around 5 million, but the proportion of
potential metro trips will not be more than 8%.

10. Actual users of Delhi Metro?
• Delhi Metro’s average daily ridership increased from 82,179 in
December 2002 to almost 1.4 million passengers in March 2011
(DMRC 2011).
• The ridership of Delhi
Metro has been much
lower than its
estimated numbers.
It can be seen that the actual
ridership has remained at
about one-fourth of the
projected figures.
CPPR-Centre for Urban Studies
11. Passengers per km.?
• The number of passengers per km of
the metro network based on
actual ridership gives an
average of ~10,500 passengers
per km. Also, the revised
projection of a ridership of
two million passengers per day
for the 190-km network gives
10,500 passengers per km. It
is clear that ridership of the
metro system stabilizes around 10,500 passengers per km.
* Using this, an estimate of the ridership for the future network
can also be made.

12. • Metro projects in India (Delhi, Kolkata, Bangalore, and Jaipur)
have been undertaken as stand-alone projects without any
integration with bus systems, autorickshaws, cycle
rickshaws, bicycles, or pedestrians, which are their important
feeder systems. Therefore, the beneficiaries of the systems are
much less than their non-users.
• Very small investment has gone into improving facilities for
bicyclists, pedestrians, and bus systems, and cities continue to
invest in preparing feasibility studies and detailed project reports
for metro and monorail systems

13. Metro constructions aren’t possible without tax exemptions.
But the exemptions given to the Delhi Metro in comparison to
the DTC are mind-boggling.
CPPR-Centre for Urban Studies
14. • Capital-intensive construction and the high operation cost of
metro rail systems necessitate financial support from central and
state governments, foreign loans apart from the tax exemptions
mentioned and a host of other costs.
• Recent events have shown how participation of the private
sector in financing metros in India has not been very successful
(Reliance Infra in Delhi and Mumbai, DLF in Haryana).
• In 113 cities having metro rails, 88% have been developed and
are being operated in public sector mode. Whereas in only 12%
cities some form of Public Private Partnership exists.
• Clearly, the government is very keen to implement MRTS
projects, which will never carry the majority of trips in a city.
• However, there is no commitment to improving bus systems or
infrastructure for bicycles other than offering grants to buy buses
in a few cities.

15. Lessons from the Delhi Metro:
• The Delhi Metro story began in 1969 when the plan for a metro rail
system was proposed in a study of traffic and travel characteristics in
Delhi. In 1996, serious discussion was initiated on this and plans for a
mass rapid transit system (MRTS) took shape. The MRTS, it was
claimed, would alleviate the congestion problems of Delhi and reduce
pollution dramatically.
• It started operating in December 2002 with an eight-km line (CAG
2008).
• With the completion of Phases I and II of Delhi Metro, there is now
an operational network of 190 km consisting of elevated, at-grade, and
underground lines. The group of ministers approved Phase III of the
Delhi MRTS project in August 2011.
• The approved Phase III network has four corridors covering a route
length of 103 km and 67 stations. The approved cost of the project is
$7 billion.
• Phase IV of the project over a network of 108.5 km has been
proposed by Delhi Metro, but is yet to be approved.

16. • A report titled “Delhi on the Move 2005: Future Traffic Management
Scenarios” (Mohan et al 1996) studied the travel patterns in Delhi and
put forward three main ideas –
• (a) the non-viability of metro systems in many locations and evidence
that such systems do not reduce vehicular traffic on the surface, and
hence do not result in pollution reduction either;
• (b) the success of high-capacity bus systems initiated in Curitiba
(Brazil) and the reasons why such systems would be ideal for Delhi;
• (c) the need to establish dedicated bicycle lanes on all arterial roads in
Delhi as a precondition for efficient traffic flow.
• BRT construction did take place between 2006-08. Yet, challenged by
members of the elite public and media reports also which stated that
they take away car space, despite surveys showing that bus speed had
increased by 10% in peak hours and 80% of the commuters were
happy with the design.
• PIL was filed against the BRT corridor in March 2012, the petitioner
pleading among other things that the time of car users was more
valuable than that of bus commuters, and that the exclusive corridor
for buses be therefore removed. Delhi HC ruled in favor of BRT but
even after that, no work has continued on it.

17. Challenges invariably brought about by a Metro
construction are:
• Huge space and energy requirements: Compared to road-based
systems, metro systems have a high requirement of space for
their station area. For property development around
stations, the area requirement far exceeds the station area. Since
metro line alignments as well as its stations are most often
underground or elevated, the magnitude of energy required for
the construction of such systems is much more than that of
road-based systems. In addition, metro stations as well as
passenger coaches are air-conditioned.
• An analysis of the cost stream of Delhi Metro shows that
electricity contributes 25% to 30% of the total operating cost. To
evaluate such a system, it becomes essential to estimate the
emissions attributed to its operation. According to a 2007
estimate, electricity generation in India contributes ~38% of CO
2 equivalent emissions because most of it is coal based. (MoEF
2010).

18. • Displacement of low-income households: According to the
environment impact assessment report of Phase I of the Delhi
Metro, the project needed 348.45 hectares of land and had to
relocate ~2,500 jhuggies (Hazards Centre 2006). Several
households from different slum settlements were relocated to a
designated resettlement colony called Holambikalan, located at
the north-west periphery of Delhi. For 66% of the
households, incomes fell after relocation and they had to travel
an increased 10 km for work.
• The total deaths over the course of the Metro construction were
261 and the total number of people injured was 481 by 2009.
• Areas around the Metro show steep hikes in real estate prices.
• Nearly 27% of metro trips are dependent on rickshaws - Advani
(2010)
• The importance of the bus transport system: Even after
completing 256 km of the metro network, at least 64% of public
transport trips in Delhi will be by bus. In addition to this, 31%
of metro trips are dependent on bus feeder systems.

19. Conclusions:
• Metro systems will benefit a very small share of city residents who
travel longer than 8 km to 10 km. Usually in cities with a population of
three million, this share is less than 10%.
• With an increasing number of million-plus cities in India, it needs to
be evaluated whether state governments can sustain such a financial
burden.
• A major part of revenue of metro systems comes from sources other
than fare-box revenue. This has a significant implication on the selfsustainability of metro systems. It leads to the dependence of metro
systems on real estate development, which often occurs at the cost of
displacing poor households. A major part of revenue of metro systems

• Emissions and electricity consumption based on a life-cycle assessment
of the Delhi Metro is higher than the CNG-run bus system.

20. • Estimates of people who will use the Metro, and the amount of
inconveniences they may face, must all be taken into account before
coming up with projected user numbers.
• Due to the design and limited coverage of metro systems, their use is
most likely to occur for long-distance trips. However, most trips in
Indian cities are short (less than 10 km) in length. This leaves a major
(up to ~80%) proportion of the trips in cities to be catered for by roadbased systems. Thus metro systems have a minimal effect on the
ridership of, or demand for bus systems.
• The key to improving the coverage of metro systems is to have a safe
infrastructure for non-motorized modes – walking and cycling - zero
expenses attached.
• Metro stations lead to an intense flow of pedestrians and other access
modes around station areas. The design of a metro system should
include redesigning the nearby road network, thus providing for the
safe dispersal of metro commuters.
• Small proportion of people served, 5 times less trips than the bus
system, exorbitant costs and tax exemptions, little integration with
other systems of transport. The whole point? Yet to be seen.
