2. Present Scenario of Urban India
• From the year 1981 to 2001, the population increase in 6 major
metropolis is 1.9 times whereas motor vehicles increased by 7.75
times.
• Expected increase of vehicles population in this cities is 372 million
in 2035 from 49.1 in at present.
• Fuel consumption in 2035 will be over 6 times that of now.
• Energy demand in transport sector is projected to grow at 5-8% per
annum.
• Increase in Urban population from 30% at present to 40% by 2030

5. Infrastructure Need : Urban Mass Transportation System
The infrastructure need of the hour in Urban India is an efficient
and reliable inner-city transportation system. And this need arise
due to many factors.
• Increase in travel demand due to Economic prosperity both
personal and commercial.
• Increase in personalized mode and poor urban infrastructure
planning, leading to congestion, traffic and pollution.
• Demand for an efficient alternative public transport system.
• Poor quality of existing urban transport network.
• Economic loss due to non-availability of mass urban transport
systems.
7. Infrastructure Problems Addressed by Tramway PPP Project
• Tramway Project if implemented will reduce congestion and Traffic.
• Reduction in air and noise pollution.
• More safe and efficient way to travel in a city.
• Will reduce travel time significantly.
• Reduce economic loss due to poor transportation systems.
• Using modern technology like ground level electric field to run the
system make it more easy to implement and operate.
8. • Efficient energy utilization and conservation.
• Most importantly, Tram Project, if implemented successfully will
provide affordable and quality service to the citizens.
• Also, the construction can be done adapting to the existing nature
of the infrastructure with few alterations unlike big projects like
metro rails.
• High transportation capacity and lower operating costs compared
to bus transport.
• Easy receptiveness and replacement of newer technology to the
transport system is more easy and faster.
9. Ideal PPP Model for TramRail in India
• The ideal PPP model to be used in this instance would be a Build
Operate & Transfer or BOT model.
• The contract period could any where between 15 to 25 years.
• Transparent bidding process should be put in place to attract
international companies with specific experience in the field of
Tram and railway operations.
• Also take into account existing Tram Projects or proposals in India.
10. Reasons Private Sector would want to involve
• First and foremost, Tram Transportation project is an good project.
There is an urgent need and demand for such a project.
• India is an untapped market with huge potential and internal
demand.
• Can easily achieve the scale and revenue targets due massive
population and huge reliance on public transport system.
• Massive challenges involved but can be very rewarding for the
private player, if it is able to successfully complete the project.
• Supportive Government policies conducive to infrastructure
projects and business development.
