Forecasting Energy Needs of a city
Issues & Solutions
Insufficient fuel supply
CAUSES: flattening domestic production| inadequate import infra| price disparity
SOLUTIONS: fast land acquisition & environmental clearance | adequate infra for
coal & natural gas import | non conventional energy sources
Pricing
CAUSES: no signal to suppliers/ consumers for behavioural changes | cost-plus
principle does not incentivize generators to invest in energy efficiency
SOLUTIONS: pricing mechanism should be rationalized to modify the consumption/
investment trends | Private investment should be catalyzed
Infrastructure
CAUSES: constrained fuel supply infra | inadequacies in power plant equipment
manufacturing capacity
SOLUTIONS: Reducing generation costs by adopting better on time delivery &
cheaper financing bundled with equipment

Shining Cities
Supply potential
India’s total renewable potential for power generation (excluding solar)
is estimated at 90 GW up to 2032
Wind has the largest potential at 49 GW & Karnataka, Gujarat and
Andhra Pradesh, in particular, are rich in wind resources
India has excellent solar resources with an average 300 sunny days per
year and yearly irradiation of 200 W/m2
Power generation
The installed capacity of renewable power generation was
23 GW in January 2012, which is equivalent to nearly 12%
of total power capacity. Wind comprises the largest
capacity with 16 GW or 70% of total renewable capacity,
followed by small hydro at 14% and bagasse cogeneration
at 9%. Solar PV with 481 MW capacity represented only
2% of total renewable installation. Private ownership
dominates this domain.
Implementation
Each city to have a “Solar City Advisory Committee” to assist in developing & rating
infrastructure compatible with non-conventional energy sources.
Making solar lighting & solar water heating mandatory in certain category of buildings
& other infrastructural facilities.
Rebate in property tax & in electricity tariff to the users of solar water heaters
especially in domestic sector.
Compliance with Municipal Solid Waste Rules & ensuring adequate tapping of
agricultural & industrial waste for power generation.
Trainings for various stakeholders like architects, civil engineers, RWAs, NGOs,
Technical Institutions etc to involve them in the building of Solar Cities
Harnessing nuclear energy in the long run so as to reduce dependence on conventional sources

Water
Needs
Agricultural
(87%)
Industrial
(8%)
Domestic
(5%)
With 16% of the global population & 4% water
resources, scarcity has become a major concern
owing to:
-Pressures exerted on water sources
-Climatic changes
-Pollution
70 per cent of India’s irrigation needs and 80
per cent of its domestic water supplies come
from groundwater
Consumption trends
Actionable Measures
Rainwater harvesting by households/ institutions
Water reclamation through:
Recycling of grey water from laundry fixtures, kitchens etc.
Minimum treatment & grey water can be used for flush &
gardening
Recycling of black water & desalination
Community engagement through:
Motivating schools/ corporate to adopt water bodies
International water week for spreading awareness

6. Current Scenario
Urban population 377 million -> Growing at 32%
from 2011-2013
• Rural to Urban Immigration
• Employment shift from Agriculture to
Manufacturing & Service Sectors
Urban housing shortage 18.78 million
households-2012
• Economically Weaker Sections(EWS) and Lower
Income Groups(LIG) - 95 percent of urban
housing shortage
• 17% Urban India lives in Slums
Concentrated Housing Geographically
• Leads to stress on basic Resources (Water,
Electricity etc.)
Problems for Real Estate Developers
• Approvals through 150 tables in about 40
departments of central and state governments
and municipal corporations -> Delay in the
project -> Cost Overrun of 25-30%
Difficult Home Loan approvals in INR 3-10 lacks
category
• The loan market of INR 3-10 lakhs is estimated
at INR 1,100, 000 crore. But less than 20 percent
of the INR 55, 200 crore worth of housing loans
disbursed in FY2011 were in this bracket
FinancialFunding
• Private players Huge funding source
• Improved Quality through benchmarking
& regular Checks
• Comparatively Quicker delivery Model
PPP model for
Housing projects
• Increases the stamp duty & Property

Complete mobility:
an integrated traffic system that moves people &
goods economically, quickly & safely
Problems
42.65% Indian Roads are un-surfaced
Increase in disposable income => more number of
private vehicles
Lack of quality public transport => various
inefficiencies
Road Accidents: 18 people die every hour
• Intra city Trains to give good connectivity
• Metro trains
• Good Quality AC buses
Improve Public Transport
• Dedicated paths for bicycles along the
pedestrian walking paths
Encourage Bicycles
• Incentive to the people using office transport
• Reduce private vehicles through carpooling
Collaborate with Corporate
houses
Tax private vehicles
during peak hours
Increased Road tax on
private vehicles
PPP model for efficient
implementation
• Reduces the road accidents
• Increased faith in public transport buses
