Missionz Urban water services are already stretched beyond capacity in most cities. Only about 70 per cent of the urban population has access to tap water.

For those that do have access, water quality and duration are unsatisfactory. Even though the JNNURM has managed to increase the pace of wateraugmentation and distribution projects, the results have been uneven.

z To address these concerns, the new government has come out with several ambitious schemes. It has approved about Rs 1 trillion for the developmentof 100 Smart Cities and the Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation (AMRUT) of 500 habitations. Two other programmes SwachhBharat Abhiyaan (Urban) and Rejuvenation of 12 Heritage Cities have been launched.

z As such, there is growing private interest in the sector and PPP activity has increased. Over the years, the focus has shifted to infrastructuredevelopment and service provision with long-term O&M. The concept of 24x7 water supply is gaining traction and successful pilots in Nagpur, Hubli-Dharwad and Gulbarga could soon be scaled up. The pace of new treatment technology adoption has increased. Also, new water supply sources suchas desalination plants and wastewater recycling plants are being developed.

z To be sure, the implementation of municipal water projects has not been without challenges. Issues like the lack of managerial and technical capacity,the absence of up-to-date information, and land acquisition and financial constraints continue to impede the pace of project execution.

z That said, the growing urban population, and the increased focus on alternative water sources and on efficient delivery of civic services will drivesector needs and expansion. This is expected to offer significant business opportunities to technology providers, equipment providers, developersand contractors.

z The mission of this conference is to examine the state of urban water services in India, analyse key trends and developments, highlight newgovernment programmes and discuss key sector challenges. The conference will also showcase noteworthy projects and technology solutions.

Joint Plenary Sessions

Missionz Most Indian cities struggle to meet the minimum standards for collecting, transporting, treating and disposing of municipal solid waste (MSW). Waste

generation far outstrips the collection and treatment infrastructure. Against a requirement of about 65 mt, the current waste treatment capacity is justabout 12 mt. The remaining 80 per cent is disposed of untreated.

z The government recognises the need to bridge this huge gap and is playing a key role in this regard. It has allocated about Rs 1 trillion for keyprogrammes, including the Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation of 500 Habitations and the Development of 100 Smart Cities.Another Rs 60 billion has been set aside for the Swachh Bharat Abhiyaan in the Union Budget 2015-16. Under the JNNURM, 13 solid waste projectscosting Rs 6.5 billion have been completed and another 33 projects worth Rs 14.5 billion are under implementation. A draft manual on MSWmanagement was also released in 2014.

z Over the past few years, the scope of PPPs in MSW management has expanded. Integrated waste management projects have been successfullyimplemented in Hyderabad, Chennai and Guwahati. Large-capacity waste processing and disposal projects have been taken up in Coimbatore, Rajkotand Mumbai. Advanced technology options are being considered. Waste-to-energy (WtE) initiatives are slowly gaining traction. Also, there is arenewed focus on waste recovery and recycling.

z Despite these positives, the progress has been limited. The lack of technical capacities, limited funds availability and inadequate managerialcompetencies at the ULB level are major concerns. Securing land for MSW management projects remains a big issue as well.

z Steady urbanisation, an increase in disposable incomes, and a change in consumption patterns are driving the rate of waste generation. While thereare many business opportunities for developers, contractors and technology providers, mitigating project-related risks and identifying cost recoverysources will be the key.

z The mission of this conference is to examine the key trends and developments in the MSW management sector, highlight new government initiativesand discuss key sector challenges. The conference will also showcase noteworthy projects and technology solutions.
