Report on Infrastructure Opportunities in South India
Introduction:
Indias rapidly growing economy has been placing huge demands on power supply, roads,
railways, ports and transportation systems, and infrastructure deficiencies have become
glaring. Overstretched infrastructure is apparent in Indias congested highways, longer
turnaround time at seaports and frequent power cuts. Infrastructure bottlenecks impede
growth of the economy, hamper business activity and raise the cost of energy and logistic.
The government has taken many initiatives to develop the sector. It is also reflected in the
budget 2011-12.
Government initiative for the development of Infrastructure sector
South Indias rapidly growing economy has been placing huge demands on roads,
railways, ports and transportation systems, and infrastructure deficiencies have
become glaring. Infrastructure bottlenecks impede growth of the economy; hamper
business activity and logistic costs, eroding the overall competitiveness.
Confederation of Indian Industry SR has been working closely with the state
governments by way of policy recommendations, investment promotions and
Industry government collaboration for Infrastructure development in the states.This is a compilation of the immense opportunity South Indias Infrastructure sector
presents.
Projected investment required for infrastructure development during the 12th Plan
period (2012-17) is Rs 40.99 trillion.
The infrastructure sector has been allocated Rs 2.14 trillion for 2011-12.
The Energy sector has been allocated Rs 155,495 crore for 2011-12.
Tax free bonds of Rs 25,000 crore, which includes Rail & Road with Rs 10,000
Crore each and ports with Rs 5000 Crores

Road & MRTS
India has the second largest road network in the world with approximately 3.3 million km.
Roads are the preferred mode of transport, accounting for 85% of passenger traffic and 65%
of freight. The network comprises national highways, state highways, major district roads,
expressways and village roads. National highways comprise only 2% of the countrys road
length but carry 40% of the traffic. State highways and major district roads carry 40% of the
total road traffic and constitute 13% of the road length. The number of vehicles is growing at
a rate of 10.6% annually and inclusive of commercial traffic it is growing at 30% p.a. This
puts enormous pressure on road infrastructure.
Growth in passenger traffic at 85 per cent and freight traffic at 65 per cent will also increase
the demand for roads. Currently, India has among the highest spend on logistics 17 per
cent of GDP. Lack of quality road transport is among the major drivers of this cost. National
highways form 2 per cent of the total road network, but carry 40 per cent of total traffic. Only
25 per cent of national highways are 2-lane or 4-lane and 80 to 90 per cent of highways are
structurally inadequate to support the 10.2-ton permissible load per axle that trucks are
allowed to carry.
Average possible speed on Indian highways is only 30 to 40 km/hour, reducing average
distance travelled by trucks per day to around 200 km compared to the world average of 600
to 800 km.

The National Highways Development Programme is expected to cover 50,000 km of national
highways, at a cost of USD 65 billion. Of this, about 13,000 km is in South India. In addition
to this, several state highways and port-linkages have to be improved. This will help support
the growth of the high-density industrial clusters and the high-growth freight corridors that
connect these.
Government Initiatives:
The government has announced several incentives:
In the recent Budget 201011, the Government of India has proposed US$
4.1 billion for road transport, representing an increase of 13.4 per cent over the
previous year
Foreign Direct Investment up to 100 per cent in road sector
Government to bear the cost of the project feasibility study, land for the right
of way and way side amenities, shifting of utilities, environment clearance, cutting of
trees, etc
Provision of subsidy up to 40 per cent of project cost to make projects viable.
The quantum of subsidy to be decided on a case-to-case basis.
100 per cent tax exemption in any consecutive 10 years out of 20 years after
commissioning of the project.
Duty free import of high capacity and modern road construction equipments.
The government has also announced an increase in the overseas borrowing
amount of infrastructure sectors, to US$ 500 million from US$ 100 million.

Ports & Shipping
Indian Port sector consist of 13 Major ports and 176 Minor ports. Ports play a vital role in the
overall economic development of the country. About 90% by volume and 70% by Value of
the countrys international trade is carried on through maritime transport. Development of
Indias ports and trade related infrastructure will continue to be critical to sustain the success
of accelerated growth in the Indian economy.
Shipping sector entails an investment of Rs 5 lakh crore by 2020 to take the Indias ports
capacity to 3,200 MT. Out of which, the port sector entails an investment of Rs 3 lakh crore.
The Major ports alone require investment of over Rs one lakh crore for 352, to expand their
capacity by 767.15 million tons (MT) in the next 10 years. Out of which, Rs 72,878 crore is
expected from the private sector.
The South India consists of six major ports and 56 minor ports. All the states have port
facility in the region. Tamil Nadu alone has three major ports. Kerala has the highest number
of minor ports in the region, followed by Tamil Nadu. (Figure 1)
Figure 1: Number of Major and Minor ports in South India
Government Initiatives:
The government has announced several incentives:
7/31/2019 Infrastructure Opportunities in South India
14/44
100 per cent FDI under the automatic route for Port development projects
100 per cent income tax exemption for a period of 10 years
Standardization of bidding documents to ensure uniformity and transparency in the
award of projects
The Model Concession Agreements have been standardized and simplified
The tariff setting mechanism has been modified with tariffs being set upfront by Tariff
Authority for Major Ports (TAMP)
Bidding documents have also been standardized to ensure uniformity and
transparency in the award of projects
Acquisition of all types of ships has been brought under the Open General License.
Formulated plans by major and non major ports to meet the huge traffic are
Development of new terminals
Upgrading existing berths
Modernizing operations by inducting state of the art cargo handling equipment
Need for expansion of ports
Traffic at major and minor ports are expected to grow at CAGR 8 and 16 per cent
respectively, which in turn would reach traffic of 1215 and 1270 MT respectively, in
the year 2019-20.
Considering the objective of 70 per cent capacity utilization, it is necessary to
increase the overall capacity of Indian Ports to 3230 MT by 2020 which is more than
three times the present level of 963 MT
Areas to be focused on
Government should give more attention and policy support to the major state-run
ports, which have seen decline in share in cargo handling compared to the minor
ports.
Ports require infrastructure to handle worlds biggest cargo ships. The trans-shipment
results in additional port fees and delays, all adding to costs on trade. Today, over
40% to 45% of the country's containerised cargo is trans-shipped through Colombo,
7/31/2019 Infrastructure Opportunities in South India
15/44
Dubai or Singapore. International Container Trans-shipment Terminal is the initiative
by the government to solve the issue.
The Indian port sector is facing choppy waters as big-ticket expansion projects worth
close to Rs 10,000 crore have been stranded, awaiting environment clearances. The
major port projects stuck due to environmental clearance include the Rs 3,600-crore
container terminal project at Chennai.
Public Private Partnership in Port Sector
Private Capital through PPP projects has been achieved in the Port sector because of a
favorable and investment friendly policy framework that was put in place by Government of
India.
As a result, 24 PPP projects involving an investment of Rs.6,486 crore have been
completed and are under operation. Another 19 PPP projects are under implementation
involving an investment of about Rs.12,498 crore and 21 more projects are under bidding.
These projects include International Container Terminals at JNPT, International Container
Transhipment Terminal (ICTT) at Vallarpadam, LNG Regasification Terminal at Cochin,
Mega Container Terminals at Chennai and Ennore, new coal berths in Paradip, Tuticorin and
Vizag among others.

Figure 3: Traffic Forecast of Minor Ports in South India, Source: Maritime agenda 2020,Ministry of Shipping
From the traffic forecast chart above, it is apparent that minor ports of Andhra Pradesh
would see a huge volume of traffic in 2019-20. The traffic volume of Andhra Pradesh,
Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Kerala would be 202.04, 67.4, 45.4 and 27.27 MT in the year2019-20.
Thus Andhra Pradesh ports require a huge volume of capacity addition in order to face the
demand. The state is followed by Karnataka and Tamil Nadu.
Figure 4: Capacity addition in Maritime states of South India, Source: Maritime agenda2020, Ministry of Shipping
In terms of investment, Andhra Pradesh requires around Rs 33540 Crore by 2020. Tamil
Nadu, Karnataka and Kerala require Rs 7576 Crore, Rs 6831 Crore and Rs 1160 Crore
respectively.

Civil Aviation
Indian aviation sector is one of the fastest growing aviation in the world. The open sky policy
has led to many overseas players entering the market and industry has been growing both in
terms of players and numbers of aircrafts. Indian Civil aviation is the 9 th largest aviation
market in the world. It is predicted that international passengers are expected to grow up to
50 million by 2015.
The Vision 2020 statement created by the Ministry of Civil Aviation, envisages creating
infrastructure to handle 420 million passengers by 2020. Investment opportunities of US$
110 billion envisaged up to 2020 with US $ 80 billion in the new aircraft and US $ 30 billion
in the development of airport infrastructure.
Government initiatives
The Government of India (GoI) has approved the policy for Greenfield airports in April
2008 to enable the development of Greenfield airports in the PPP mode.
The Planning Commission has also developed a model concession agreement
(MCA) to enable state governments to develop Greenfield airports under the PPP
mode.
The GoI has allowed 100 per cent FDI under the automatic route for Greenfield
airports.
For existing airports, 100 per cent FDI is allowed. However, for FDI exceeding 74 per
cent, approval is required from the Foreign Investment Promotion Board (FIPB).

The capital expenditure is funded through private equity, borrowings, and internal
resources of joint venture companies.
As per the Economic Survey of 2010-11, out of 35 airports granted in 2006, 11 have
been completed, while the remaining are under implementation.
The adoption of Open Sky Policy has resulted in the entry of several new privately
owned airlines and increased frequency / flights for international airlines.
South India- performance and future
For the past four years, South India is the only region which is dominant in handling Aircraft
traffic. (Figure 1).The region handled nearly 4.5 lakh of aircraft during the financial year
2010-11. It is followed by western region and northern region, who handled nearly 4 and 3.5
lakh aircrafts during the same period. But, for the past two years, Unlike in Northern region,
there is no prominent growth in the aircraft traffic in the south India. It is a sign of maturation,
and it could be handled by expanding the airports, in order to increase more aircraft
movement in the region. Northern region is having enormous growth in handling aircraft
traffic.
Figure 2: Aircraft traffic in various region of India. Source: AAI
Revenue is generated by the passenger traffic and freight traffic in the region. In terms of
passenger traffic, there is a close completion between the southern region and western
region (Figure 2). For the past too years, there is a huge growth in the passenger traffic in
the entire region of the country. It shows the interest of the travelers in choosing aircraft as a
mean. This is the right time to develop and expand airports, for exploiting the opportunity.
The Southern region handled passenger traffic of around 45 million.

Figure 2: Passenger traffic in various region of India. Source: AAI
In term of freight traffic, again there is a competition between southern and western region.
Until July 2009, the western region performed well in handling freight traffic. It does not last
for long. Since the period, Southern region dominated the freight market. The southern
region handles nearly 8 lakh tons of freight traffic, which is followed by western region who
accounts for around 7.5 lakh tons, during 2010-11. ( Figure 3)

South India- International Airports & their share
7/31/2019 Infrastructure Opportunities in South India
24/44
South India consists of three international airports, three joint venture international airports,
three Custom airports and few more domestic airports. Joint ventures in development of
airports have been successful in South India. Out of six joint venture airports, three of them
are in South India.
The International airports in South India accounts for 90 per cent of South Indias passenger
traffic and 98 per cent of the regions freight traffic. So, let us track the performance of these
six airports, in order to explore new opportunities.
Figure 4: Passenger traffic in International Airports of South India. Source: AAI
In terms of Passenger traffic, Chennai and Bangalore international airport are having a close
competition for the past four years. As on March 2011, Chennai airport lead the Bangalore
airport in terms of passenger traffic. The passenger traffic of Chennai and Bangalore Airport
is around 12 million and 11.5 million respectively. Hyderabad Airport is also showing a
positive sign for picking up.

Telecom
The Indian Telecom sector has witnessed a laudable growth over the past 2 years. It has an
overall subscriber base of 787.29 million and a tele density of 66.17%, at the end of
December, 2010. With the urban tele density reaching approx 150%, the market has been
showing signs of maturity. Rural India is the key target market likely to drive the next round
of growth, particularly for voice based services. It is envisaged that rural tele density of 40%
would be reached by end of 2014.
3G and BWA are expected to reinvigorate the maturing urban markets and help in bringing
balanced growth of economy. The aggressive growth observed by mobile services is yet to
be replicated in case of broadband service, where the subscriber base currently stands at
about 11 million. The successfully concluded auction of the BWA and 3G spectrum will
enhance the wireless broadband penetration across the country and help to connect the
remotest locations across India. The government has a vision to provide telephone
connection and broadband facilities on demand across the country and at an affordable price
and it strives to achieve the same.
Achievements of Indian Telecom Industry
India has the second largest wireless network in the world after China.
The target of 600 million telephones by the end of 11th five year plan has been
achieved in February, 2010 itself.
Performance of the private players
The share of private sector in total telephone connections is now 84.60% as per the
latest statistics available for December, 2010 as against a mere 5% in 1999.
The fruits of the liberalization efforts of the Government are evident in the growing
share of the private sector.

Opportunity
The telecom ministry is likely to provide rural wireless broadband connections to over5 lakh villages all over the country in one-and-a-half years and will provide a subsidy
to both state-owned and private service provider operators from the Universal
Service Obligation Fund for this purpose.
The sector will witness up to US$ 55.95 billion investments and the market will cross
the US$ 100 billion mark in 5 years. The industry will grow at 12-13 per cent annually
The share of Value-Added Services (VAS) in wireless revenue is likely to increase to 12-13
per cent by 2011. Currently it accounts for 10 per cent of the total revenue from wireless
industry, with a share worth US$ 2.45 billion-US$ 2.67 billion.
Power
South Indias total power demand is currently 33 GW, while available capacity is 31 GW.
However, there has been limited addition to the total capacity in the last three years. For
instance, Tamil Nadus power generation capacity has remained flat at 5,600 MW from 2007
to 2010, while demand has grown at an average of 12 per cent annually. Further, the high
prices of coal and LPG over the past 3 years have made captive power plants expensive
and unviable for industries.
The total installed capacity of India is 174361.4 MW as on April 30, 2011. The southern
region accounts for 27.6 percent of it.
The region is the market leader in the diesel thermal generation and renewable energy
source with an enormous share of 78.3 and 50.6 per cent respectively. Tamil Nadu acts as a
7/31/2019 Infrastructure Opportunities in South India

role model to the nation in the development of renewable energy sources. The share of
Tamil Nadu alone is 31.50 per cent of the total countrys share. Renewable energy source,
which is also called as clean energy source is very much welcomed by the nation, to keep
the environment clean. Power generation through Hydro, which is also considered as a
renewable source is adopted in the region, whose share is 30 per cent. Andhra Pradesh and

pradesh, Karnataka and Kerala, with 33, 25 and 8 per cent respectively.
Exhibit 1.2: Source: CEA Exhibit 1.3: Source: CEA
Nearly 30 percent of the regions generation capacity is contributed by the private sector.
The contribution of private sector is in a growing phase.
Supply- Demand statistics gives a clear picture of the need for more private players in the
sector. The State wise peak deficit is as follows. The Peak deficit of Tamil Nadu is very high
compared to other southern states, with a peak deficit of 11 per cent. It is followed by
Karnataka with 7.3 per cent of deficit. Andhra Pradesh and Kerala have a deficit of 6.3 and
5.8 per cent respectively.

Similarly, State wise energy deficit is tabled below. The Energy deficit is high in Karnataka
with 7.6 percent, followed by Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh and Kerala, with 6.5, 3.2 and 1.4
percent respectively.
Due to the rapid increase in demand and slow increase in the supply, the southern region is
facing load shedding problem. For an instance, during the month of April 2011, Southern
states includes Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Kerala, Pondicherry and Tamil Nadu had load
shedding up to 1808, 1250, 300, 44 and 3191 MW respectively.
On the overall view, Southern region has an energy deficit of 5.2 per cent against the
nations energy deficit of 8.5 per cent. Similarly, the region has the peak deficit of 6.4 per
cent against the nations peak deficit of 9.8 per cent. The region accounts for 14 and 15 per
cent of Indias energy deficit and peak deficit respectively.
7/31/2019 Infrastructure Opportunities in South India

With per capita power consumption slated to grow from 900 KWh to 1,400 KWh, base
demand for power in South India is likely to be around 50 GW, peaking to 75 GW in 2020.
Satisfying this incremental demand will require an investment of USD 50 billion to USD 70
billion. Tamil Nadu will lead the demand for power and the 2530 GW need requires a USD
20 billion to 25 billion investment. Similarly, Andhra Pradesh will require 2530 GW and USD
15 billion to USD 20 billion, Karnataka 1015 GW and USD 10 billion to 15 billion, and
Kerala 510 GW and USD 5 billion to USD 10 billion.
The central government's Eleventh and Twelfth Plans envisage USD 350 billion to 400 billion
investment in the power sector for India. These investments will generate 100 GW of
additional capacity, and while India is expected to be base demand surplus, it will continue to
have a peak demand deficit in 2020. This trend will continue in South India too, and willrequire a concerted set of actions to be undertaken by the State Electricity Boards (SEBs)
and government. There are multiple ways to overcome the peak demand deficit as follows:
Relax cap on power trading margins to see increased liquidity and allow many
merchant power licensees to start trading operations.
Remove transmission bottlenecks by allowing open access to merchant power selling
outside the state.
The Kerala Government will also formulate proactive measures for setting up a 1200 MWpower plant using LNG as the feed stock in Kochi.
State run Rural Electrification Corp has invited technical bids from domestic andinternational developers to award Rs 1,300 crore contract for laying transmission system inAndhra Pradesh.
7/31/2019 Infrastructure Opportunities in South India
40/44
Introduce measures to improve SEB profitability (e.g., removal of pump set
subsidies).
Encourage the addition of peaking hydro-power capacity and scale up the addition of
renewable energy beyond wind power, particularly solar energy.
Address transmission and distribution losses through the creation of franchisee
models in distribution (e.g., Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Co. Ltd
selected Torrent Power Company as a franchisee in 2007 to distribute electricity in
Bhiwandi, Maharashtra for 10 years).
Contribution of Private players
Private players accounts for 37496.19 MW of generation capacity in India. Out of which,
39.75 percent are in Southern region. It shows the interest of private sector players in
starting a power generation plant in southern region.
Karnataka has the index to improve from 700 KWH/Capita to 1400 KWH/Capita (by

55 per cent respectively. These players were very keen in generating power through thermalsource with gas as fuel, in the state of Kerala and Andhra Pradesh with a share of 89 and 84
per cent respectively. Private players should come forward to produce power through
renewable energy sources in Andhra Pradesh and Kerala. Nowadays, electricity through
renewable energy is very much welcomed in the country, because of its positive impact on
the environment.
Opportunity
Power Transmission
India aims to add 17,000 MW of renewable energy in the 12th
Five-Year Plan,which would require Rs. 1.5 trillion ($33.6 billion).
The country offers cheap loans to companies building alternative energy power
plants and provides tax breaks and tariff subsidies to encourage development of
the renewable industry.
India could produce 45,000 MW of additional solar power, taking total solar
power generation to 67,000 MW, by 2022.
Solar power prices may drop by 7% a year over the next decade. Cheaper solar
power will help cut coal imports by 30%, or 71 million tonnes a year.
Karnataka have been identified as the states that receive enough sunlight
throughout the year to merit large commercial solar plants. Coastal parts of
Kerala, Andhra Pradesh are ideal states to set up small plants for domestic use.
