CITY DEVELOPMENT PLAN SANAND 2010‐2015
1. Introduction
Sanand is one of the fine examples demonstrating the positive and wide spread impact of
urbanization of a megacity like Ahmedabad. Sanand is located at about 24 km from
Ahmedabad city on the Ahmedabad-Viramgam Highway. The city is included under Ahmedabad
Urban Development Authority (AUDA) jurisdictional area which is responsible for planning and
development in the area.
Sanand has attained importance in recent times as it is in close proximity to the Delhi-Mumbai
Freight Corridor and the adjoining Special Economic Zones (SEZ). Shifting of the eagerly
awaited Tata’s Nano Plant from Singur, West Bengal to Sanand, Gujarat has suddenly
highlighted the vital location of this town with reference to industrial development. The Tata
Group’s industrial establishment is supposed to boost up the employment generation in this
region.
Sanand was looked at as one of the four Growth Centers (Kalol, Dehgam, Sanand and
Mehmedabad) of AUDA. More emphasis was placed on industrial area development in the
sanctioned plan so that potential employment opportunities are created and this in turn may
attract rural population thereby reducing pressure of migration on Ahmedabad City. But till 2007-
08, neither there were any major developments established, nor GIDC had put up any new
industrial estates. The main cause attributed to this no or little development was the lack of
promotion of industrial incentives in AUDA area as per strict enforcement of Government Policy.
Thus the growth in population of these growth centers is also slow than as estimated by AUDA.
As per the population projections of AUDA, the projected population of Sanand city in 2011 will
be one lakh, whereas the current estimated population of the city is not more than fifty
thousand.
Sanand has been declared as a Satellite Town of Ahmedabad, in December 2009 by the
Ministry of Urban Development, Government of India (GOI).
The concept of satellite town has been emerged to help the metropolitan city in solving the
human settlement and absorbs its industrial growth which put enormous pressure on
Centre for Environment Planning and Technology Page 1
CITY DEVELOPMENT PLAN SANAND 2010‐2015
infrastructure and service delivery of metropolitan city. The Satellite city is a smaller municipality
in the vicinity of metropolitan parent city and can be planned within the natural growth pattern of
parent city. It is intended to stop urban sprawl, provide an alternate business center and also
provide high speed transport linkages between the it and Parent City.
It has been observed that migration in the metropolitan city is owing to employment
opportunities, trade opportunities and specialized services such as education, health,
entertainment and recreation. The people residing in satellite town can use specialized services
of metropolitan city situated in its vicinity through strong transport linkages. The satellite
town/city is defined as follows:
“A Satellite Town is a self-contained and limited in size, built in the vicinity of a large
metropolitan city to house and employ those who would otherwise create a demand for
expansion of the existing settlement in metropolitan city, but dependent on the parent-city to a
certain extent for major and specialized services”
The Satellite city differ from mere suburbs and subdivisions in that it has municipal
governments distinct from that of the parent metropolitan city and employment bases sufficient
to support its residential populations. The Satellite city also experience cross- commuting with
parent metropolitan city.
It has been observed that development of Satellite Town/City requires following offering.
• The Satellite town should offer adequate municipal services such as quality water
supply, electricity, sewage treatment and residential townships etc.
• The Satellite Town should offer superior quality social infrastructure such as schools,
primary and secondary medical treatment and retail departmental stores.
• Speedy and Low cost of commuting from Satellite city/Town to Parent Metropolitan City
as access to tele- effective services such as universities and airports that only the parent
city can offer. This would increase the mobility of people residing in satellite town/city.
• It should have land resources, independent economy and also have strength to absorb
the growth of Parent Metropolitan City.
Above factors led to development of Satellite Town/City which decongests the city centers of
Parent Metropolitan city.
Centre for Environment Planning and Technology Page 2
CITY DEVELOPMENT PLAN SANAND 2010‐2015
The three phases of development of Satellite town in Indian and Western countries context and
evolution of model for development of satellite town/city are described in following exhibit.
Figure 1‐1 Evolution of Satellite Town
As discussed in above exhibit, in the Indian context, often adjoining towns begin to acquire the
character of the Satellite city. These towns face pressure of population and industrial growth.
Thus required infrastructure needs to be identified, strengthened and developed. However
Small town and ULBs are institutionally unable to cope with these demands owing to lack of
revenue/ tax base, human resources and planning constrains and hence many a times Satellite
Town is merged with Parent Metropolitan city.
Centre for Environment Planning and Technology Page 3
CITY DEVELOPMENT PLAN SANAND 2010‐2015
Sanand Town should be developed in line with the Model 1 described in above exhibit as
independent town having its own municipality otherwise this will put less pressure on
Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation for service and infrastructure deliveries. However this
demands higher capability of Municipality for service deliveries and executing large social
infrastructure projects. This can be attained by institutional strengthening of Sanand
Municipality.
As per the Guidelines for “Scheme of Urban Infrastructure Development in Satellite Towns /
Counter Magnets of Million plus Cities” published by the Ministry of Urban Development,
Government of India, Sanand is one of the eight Satellite Townships around the seven mega-
cities (Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai, Bangalore, Hyderabad and Ahmedabad).
Centre for Environment Planning and Technology Page 4
CITY DEVELOPMENT PLAN SANAND 2010‐2015
Also, it is noted that the towns may be planned for a population of 3-5 lakhs in case of million
plus cities and 5-10 lakhs in case of mega-cities (4 million plus cities).
As per the above guidelines, planning of the satellite town shall be on the concept of continuity,
compactness and self-containment. Each part of the township while being self-sufficient in itself
should form an integral part of the town as a whole having clear functional linkages with the
mother city and other urban centers in the respective region.
A City Development Plan is a comprehensive plan for the sustainable development of the city,
with a strong focus on addressing prioritized problems, in line with a medium to long term vision
for the future and supported by available financial resources.
A City Development Plan is a perspective of and a vision for the future development of a city.
Essentially it addresses following questions:

Response
The process of development of a city is dependent upon the industrial and business activities of
the city, and the amount of activity it can secure from outside. Most of the cities suffer from
inadequate civic amenities on one hand and inflexible sources of revenue on the other with the
result that they find it difficult to absorb their growth without corresponding strain on the existing
meager civic services. The civic services have thus tended to follow a declining curve in relation
to the rate of growth of the urban economies.
Centre for Environment Planning and Technology Page 6
CITY DEVELOPMENT PLAN SANAND 2010‐2015
Plan of Sanand will have a vision for next 20 years and will focus on short term financial
planning for five years.

Apart from this Sanand is an important node in the region with Ahmedabad – Viramgam State
highway SH 17, Bavla - Sanand - Kadi State Highway 135, Sanand – Nal sarovar Road, Ambli-
Bopal-Ghuma-Sanand Road passing through it. Apart from this broad gauge Railway line also
passes through this city, connecting it to Ahmedabad to the east and Viramgam towards west.
The city is sandwiched between the newly proposed Sanand SIR and Changodar SIR (Refer
Map 2.1). The Dedicated freight corridor (DFC) also passes through Sanand making the location
lucrative to industrial development
8.2.3. Climate
Sanand being located in the western part of India has a dry climate. Temperature varies from 43
⁰C to 47 ⁰C in the summers and 5.3 ⁰C to 16 ⁰C in the winters. The predominant wind direction
in the city during morning and evenings is from the South-west direction for most of the year.
The rainfall in the area is restricted to the monsoon from June to September. Average annual
rainfall of Sanand city is 750 mm which is almost equal to Ahmedabad district average annual
rainfall (Census of India, 2001). The minimum was in the year 1975 as 100 mm and the maximum
rainfall was received in the year 1976 as 1510 mm.
8.2.4. Drainage
There are no major rivers that pass through Sanand. Owing to the topography and the general
slope in the area from North - East to South –West the water from the city finds its way from the
local ponds in the town and drains off to Nalsarovar through natural drains. The city is dotted
with lakes and ponds the most distinctive ones are Bhadreti Lake, Gadhiyu Lake and
Lakshmana Lake.

CITY DEVELOPMENT PLAN SANAND 2010‐2015
8.2.6. History
Sanand is an old historical town but no details concerning its origin are known apart from those
available from story and legend.
There are many stories on how the name of Sanand was derived. As per one such legend
Sanand is derived from ‘Sanadi’ meaning ‘alienated’. The original Sanand village is believed to
have been an alienated village under the Ahmedabad Sultan and it is from here the present day
name is thought to be derived.
In more recent historical time Sanand was known to have been seat of the Vaghela rulers of the
Koth house descended from the adopted son of King Karam Vaghela, the last of the Hindu ruler
of Gujarat before the arrival of Allaudin Khilji as the master of region.
It is also believed that, during the Muslim rule in Gujarat, to entertain the King, Shah's gardens
were built in Sanand and hence was called 'Shah Anand' which later on became ‘Sanand’.
The earliest written records available data back to 1872 during this period the town was
apparently fairly well established and seems to have enjoyed some local importance in the
region.

First meeting of Sanand Municipality was held on 15th May 1885 under the leadership of district
collector who was also a president. Till 31st March 1963, the president was elected through
public voting. After the implementation of Panchayati Raj from 1st April 1963 Sanand
Municipality was converted to Nagar Panchayat under the 1961 Gujarat Adhiniyam. After 15th
April 1994, it became Sanand Nagarpalika.
The Sanand Nagar Palika has a total area of 40.4 Sq.km. which is divided into 9 administrative
wards; the panchayat of Gibpura is also included in this area (Refer Map 2.2). Till date, the
gamtal area of Gibpura is governed by the Sanand Nagar Panchayat, which is also responsible
for the provision of facilities such as roads, water supply, street light, drainage, solid waste
management in the gamtal area.

As of 2001 Census of India, Sanand has population of 33,687 (including Gibpura). Decadal
growth trend in the population indicates the sharp decline in the population growth rate after
1981 from 32.64% in 1971 to 18.33% in the decade of 1981, which further decreased to 14.28%
in 1991. However, in the last decade the population has increased. The ward wise distribution
of population has been shown in the table below, which shows the highest concentration of
population in ward no. 9 and 6.The population in the age group 0-6 comprises almost 13
percent of the total population of Sanand town.

The state average of 81.4%: male literacy is 89.6%, and female literacy is 72.9%. The town has
experienced continuous decline in the female population from the decade of 1981. This raised
concerns of gender inequality.
As per the census, the average literacy rate in the town is 81.7 percent, while the male literacy
rate is 89.6 percent and female literacy rate is 72.9 percent. The literacy rate of the city is higher
than the state average i.e. 69%, as well as the literacy rate of Ahmedabad district i.e. 79.5%.
This indicates the higher degree of awareness for education in urban areas of Sanand
Taluka. (Refer map 2.4)

Migration is one of the determining factors for the growth of the city. It gives an insight on the
type of growth and helps in determining the natural growth rate for the town and also accounting
for the floating population. In case of Sanand no direct tables are available from the census and
hence to analyze the migration information on births and deaths was collected from the
Nagarpalika between 1991 and 2001 to estimate the natural growth of the town. The table

below gives the net migration in case of Sanand. When we compare the results with the
Ahmedabad Urban Agglomeration it is seen that the net migration in case Sanand is about 5.3%
as compared to 34% in case of Ahmedabad urban agglomeration.

manufacturing and service sector. Only 3% of working population is engaged in cultivation on
the land owned by him or held from Government and 17% of working population employs as
agricultural laboures who worked on another person’s agriculture land for wages indicating that
small proportion of working population employs in primary sector of economy. Each sector of
economy is discussed in brief further.
The area of Sanand Taluka is 78453 hectare. The land use pattern of 75972 hectare of area of

Net sown area is more than half of the land of Sanand Taluka. Double cropping land is around
22% of the net sown area and 14% of the total land area. The given portion of double
cropping land suggests inadequate irrigation system compare to other districts of the
state. Only 37315 hectare of net sown area is irrigated. Around 18250 hectare area is irrigated
by Government Canal and remaining 19605 hectare area is irrigated by ponds and wells. This
indicated need to increase coverage of Government Canal for irrigation in the Sanand
Taluka. Further total 13215 hectares is unused land and 2100 hectares of land is barren land
not suitable for agriculture. Such land can be used for residential, commercial and industrial
purpose.

Owing to higher cultivation of rice, Sanand Taluka comprises many rice mills. Further spread of
Government Canal can increase the irrigation and considerable production of Food and Non
Food crops can be attained. This can help to locate agro processing units such as rice mills,
flour mills and textiles units. Further Sanand Taluka stands fourth in Ahmadabad District for milk
production in 2007-08. Thus dairy and dairy product producing industries can be located in
Sanand Taluka.
Thus it can be observed from the above discussion that primary sector in Sanand Taluka mainly
comprise farming of food crops such as rice, wheat and Bajra and Non Food crops such as
cotton. However there is need to increase the irrigation as only 47% of Sanad Taluk’s land is
irrigated as on 2003-04. Further Sanand Taluka has further potential for locating dairy
product producing industries.
SECONDARY SECTOR
The secondary sector of Sanand Town comprises total 40 small to medium scale rice mills and
other approximately 7small chemical manufacturing units. Total investment of all such
manufacturing units stood at Rs 200 crore and employs approximately 800 people1. Further the
Household industries are in nascent stage and employed only 140 people.
There is only one GIDC estates within the Municipal limit. This GIDC was established in 1984 as
mini GIDC. Owing To lack of promotions and marketing of the estate, very few units were
established. GIDC can reside 20 units, out of which presently there are only two units
established in the GIDC. One pharma units is fully operational however metal unit is partially
operational. Pharma unit of GIDC employs 10 people. Further GIDC lacks hard infrastructure
such as internal roads. Lack of adequate internal infrastructure and efforts on promotion and
marketing and availability of skilled manpower are area of concerns for Sanand GIDC.
Sanand Town does not have mineral resources and hence absence of mining activities. Thus it
can be observed that rice mills are major contributor of secondary sector of Sanand Town.
However Sanand Taluka reside many manufacturing industries as compared to Sanand Town.
Total numbers of registered factories and investment in plant and machineries in Sanand Taluka
are described in following Table.

• It can be observed from the following table that Sanand Taluka resides 7% of numbers
of registered factories of Ahmadabad district. Its share in investment of Plant and
Machineries stands at 17% in Ahmedabad district. This indicates strong industrial base
in Sanand Taluka. Out of this, 40 manufacturing units are located in Sanand Town.
• This strong industrial base in Sanand Taluka is owing to proximity of Metropolitan City
Ahmedabad and strong connectivity with Kutch ports and south Saurashtra based ports.
Further availability of land around the Sanand may have also contributed in establishing
industrial base.
• Owing to unavailability of skilled labors and worsening law and order environment of
Sanand Town, many manufacturing units decided not to establish industrial units in
Sanand GIDC or Sanand Town. These bottlenecks can be resolved by establishing
standard quality international schools and colleges and maintaining law and order
situation. Further promotion of GIDC estate as ideal investment destination by
establishing quality internal hard infrastructure can help to attract the industrial units.
TERTIARY SECTOR
Sanand Town resides total 1027 retail shops registered under shops establishment act and
employed total 1438 people2. The retails shops are of cloth, stationary, fruit and vegetable, food
and grocery and other necessary trade and services. Owing to upcoming manufacturing units of
Tata Motors for Nano cars, almost all leading private sector and public Banks have established
their branches. Further Sanand Town does not have any significant tourism resources or any
quality restaurants and hotels. There is also absence of recreation facilities such as Cinema,
park, Good quality restaurants etc. There is also presence of informal sector in Sanand Town.
Sanand Municipality has allocated separate space to hawkers after issuing license. Total 300
licenses issued and employing approximately 600 people. Thus service sector is dominated
by retail trading shops followed by informal sector.

• Strong industrial base in Sanand Taluka can help to locate hotels and restaurants, retail
malls and banking and financial services. This can be attained by persuading Industries
to set up their town ships in vicinity or in the Sanand Town. The people employed in
Industries situated in Sanand Taluka can be encourage to house at Sanand Town by
providing good quality social infrastructure.
• Presently this is not a practice and industries such as Tata Motors and others are
establishing Residential Townships independently in the vicinity of their units. This is
owing to absence quality social infrastructure and worsening law and order situation.
• Further affordable real estate can help to development of service sectors such as hotels
and restaurants, retail malls and banking and financial services. Hence need to make
real estate affordable in Sanand Town and its vicinity area.
• Owing to presence of strong industrial base and upcoming DMIC in Sanand Taluka,
logistic parks and related services has strong potential to be developed. This can be
attained by developing logistic park and related services.
Ahmedabad city accounted for 21.5% of factories in the state employing 18% of workers (2000).
It houses Textiles, Chemical, Pharma and Engineering industries. Sanand Taluka has already
started leveraging the growth of Ahmedabad. Being in the proximity of Ahmedabad and situated
at strategic geographical location, Sanand Taluka attracted Rs 29144 crore of Investment in
manufacturing sector. It accounted for 41% of Ahmedabad district’s industrial investment
during last four years. The majority of industries established in Sanand Taluka during last four
years are textiles, Chemicals, Metal and Pharma. The capital investment in these industries in
Sanand Taluka during last four years is mentioned in Exhibit below.

Following points can be inferred from above Table and stake holder consultation.
• It can be depicted from above Table that Textile and Metal industries accounted for
highest capital investment of 37% and 34% respectively which is followed by Pharma
industry (21% of total investment).
• It can also be observed that Textiles and Pharma industries are employment intensive
as compared to Chemical and Metal industries. Thus promoting the Pharma and
Textile industrial base can generate higher employment in Sanand Taluka.

Following points can be inferred from the above table and discussions held with various stake
holders;
• Auto industries accounted for 74% of investment proposed in Sanand Taluka. Auto
industries comprised Tata Motors Limited’s Nano plant. Establishment of this plant can
attract Auto ancillaries industries in the Sanand Taluka.
• Proximity of Ahmedabad city helped Sanand Taluka to attract the investment in Textile,
chemical and Pharma companies as Ahmedabad city has been traditionally base of
Textiles, chemical and pharma industries.

• Owing to quality road infrastructure connecting Sanand to Kutch ports, availability of land
and strategic location catering Central Gujarat, North Gujarat and North Saurashtra
markets attracted cement plant of Ambuja.
Real estate market in the Sanand Town is dominated by increase supply of Housing units
presently. The demand of Housing units generated mainly from specific income group who sold
their land to industrial houses. Further perception of investor regarding strong future housing
demand from employees of specific industrial houses also contributed in housing unit demand in
Sanand Town. These two key facts provided impetus to growth of new residential townships.
Presently five new residential schemes have been planned in Sanand Town and all are
advanced stage of completion. All five residential township projects have been initiated by
private developers. Three residential schemes have been planned on Sanand – Viramgam
Highway and remaining Two Residential schemes on Sanand- Sarakhej Highway. The present
supply of residential units is presented in following Table.

The prices of housing units have been rising upward after the announcement of Tata Motors
Limited to establish Nano Plant at Charodi village 13 km away from Sanand Town. Upcoming
DMIC, Industrial Investment and SIR may drive demand of housing units in Sanand Town.
However Law and Order Situation and poor social infrastructure/service delivery may hamper
the demand of Housing Units.
Presently one commercial complex has been planned and completed. Some leading banks
established their branch in Sanand after announcement of Nano plant. Owing to absence of any
tourism resources, there is absence of demand for hotel and restaurant. However in future
Centre for Environment Planning and Technology Page 22

industrial investment may increase the demand for commercial space for hotel, restaurant, retail
malls and recreation facilities.

Ahmedabad district’s 28% of investment proposed in Ahmedabad city, which is less compared
to Sanand Taluka (49%), However 56% of district’s employment proposed in Ahmedabad city.
The highest employment share is owing to largest employment share proposed in Industrial
Park. The nature of the industries proposed to be established in this industrial park is not
known.
It is also observed that total 17 Textiles units proposed to be established in Ahmedabad district,
of which Ahmedabad City has highest share (8 units) followed by Sanand Taluka (4 units).
Hence Sanand Taluka has already attracted investment in Textiles and Chemical industries.
Ahmedabad district alone comprised 38% of stamp duty collection from sale of property
indicating strong demand of housing and commercial properties in Ahmedabad district. Stamp
duty collection data in 2009-10 indicates that properties worth of Rs 25000 crore was traded in
Ahmedabad8. The stamp duty collection from the sale of property rose by 27% to Rs 780 crore

CITY DEVELOPMENT PLAN SANAND 2010‐2015
in 2010 from Rs 613 crore in 2008-09. This may be because of increased industrial and service
sector investment in the state. This has led to increase in demand of housing units.
Owing to strong growth in Real estate sector, it employs considerable numbers of people in
Ahmedabad and it will continue to generate employment in future. Further prices of real estate
has been increased at unprecedented pace in Ahmedabad which may make real estate less
affordable to house low to medium income group people in future.
Service Sector
Ahmedabad is a key trade center of Gujarat and plays a strong and significant role in providing
commercial resources and market access for trade and commerce related businesses. This has
led to development of mercantile corporation and associations. It is observed from the exhibit
below that retails stores, business enterprises and recreation facilities alone employs 3.64 lakh
people as compared to manufacturing sector employing 2.0 lakh people.

The city is also turning out to be the leading retail destinations of India as a result of the malls
and multiplexes coming up occupying an area of more than 5 million sq ft. The city has also
many ancient monuments and reaches cultural tradition which attracts domestic and foreign
tourist. This has led to development of hotels and restaurants. Further city’s education and
industrial institutions have attracted students and young skilled workers.
Owing to lower real estate prices compared to other Tier -1 and availability of large pool of
graduates attracted many leading IT/ITES companies to the Ahmedabad and Gandhinagar. As
a result, there are nine IT/ITES, SEZ proposed in vicinity of Ahmedabad.
• Rich Industrial base of Textiles, Chemical including Pharma and Engineering industries.
• Better Urban Infrastructure such as water supply, electricity supply, and urban transport
projects such as BRTS.
• Better Social Infrastructure such as schools, graduation and post graduation level
colleges producing skilled manpower and health care facilities such as hospitals, clininic
etc.
• The proposed Delhi Mumbai Industrial Corridor (DMIC), Dholera (Special Investment
Region) and Gujarat International Finance Tech-city (GIFT) would fuel the growth of
industrial and service sector respectively.
Centre for Environment Planning and Technology Page 30
CITY DEVELOPMENT PLAN SANAND 2010‐2015
• Real Estate: Impetus to growth of real estate owing to growth in housing demand and
commercial properties. Prestigious projects such as Sabarmati Riverfront Development,
Kankaria lake Development, and BRTS would further provide impetus to real estate.
• Proposed DMIC and GIFT would fuel the manufacturing and service sector such as
financial services, IT/ITES and retail malls.
Centre for Environment Planning and Technology Page 31
CITY DEVELOPMENT PLAN SANAND 2010‐2015
Further the service sector such as IT/ITES, Banking and Financial Services and
retail malls are employment intensive industries are requires quality real estate. The
cheap rental of office space along with availability of skilled manpower would help to
attract the service sector industries. Creation of large land bank would help to lower the
real estate prices and efficient urban transport with Ahmedabad would help to ease in
commuting and hence skilled manpower from the surrounding area can be made
available.
• Promotion of GIDC
Sanand GIDC can reside 20 units, of which presently only two units has been
established in the GIDC. By establishing better internal hard infrastructure, GIDC should
be promoted as suitable investment destination. This would help to locate the MSME
(Micro Small and Medium Size Enterprises) of the Textiles and chemical industries.

Investment has been increased in Chemical (including pharmaceuticals) and
Petrochemical industries, metallurgy, engineering and Textiles industries. These
industries have been developed in Ahmedabad owing to presence of trade markets,
proximity of ports and clustering effect. Situated in proximity of Ahmedabad, Sanand
enjoys access to markets of Ahmedabad and strong connectivity with Kutch and
Saurashtra ports. Sanand can leverage its strategic location by promoting it as industrial
hub for textile, chemical, textile industries and EXIM based industries.
Development of DMIC would create demand of value added services such as basic
fabrication, packaging etc to Central and Northern India‘s cargo going to Kutch and
South Saurashtra based ports. The logistic park at Sanand satisfies this need. This park
will also serve the prestigious Nano Projects and some other industries coming up in
near future in this region.
• Create Recreation Facilities. Recreation facility improves the quality of life. Sanand
does not have any cinemas/multiplex, quality hotels/ restaurants presently. Hence
development of recreation facilities such as multiplexes, cinemas etc, restaurants and
hotels would require providing impetus to Service Sector and this would increase
employment.

Sanand is medium size town and it is not easy to divide it into functional areas in view of its
compactness and the history of its growth. The town has tended to develop radially in all
directions with a commercial zone at its center. The development of town has not been by
functional categories and a mixture of houses put to various uses may be found in all the wards.
A problem of haphazard and mix land use development is visible. The changes in the land use
distribution are discussed below.
Centre for Environment Planning and Technology Page 34
CITY DEVELOPMENT PLAN SANAND 2010‐2015
The Ahmedabad Urban Development Authority is responsible for land use planning within
Sanand Taluka limits. In 1997, only 8% (356 Ha) of the total area (4042 Ha) was developed.
Considering the developed area, the density of Sanand was 72.11 persons / Ha. Old gamtal
area was covered by mixed land-use comprising of residential, commercial and public purposes.
The APMC, ginning factories and rice mills on the railway station road formed the commercial
and industrial activities, while new residential developments were observed on the south of the
State Highway No.17.

Ahmedabad city may be due to less industrial developments in these centers along with the
slow infrastructure and urban development.
A survey was conducted by AUDA in 2009 to review the current land use and developments.
The table below shows the details of the same. It was found that the total developed area is
increased by 90 Ha. There is considerable decrease in the industrial area. In 1997, 23.6 % of
the developed area was occupied by industrial use, whereas now the industries occupy only
7.12% of the total developed area. (Refer Map 3.2)

covered under the water bodies (21.97 Ha) is
decreasing compared to its use in 1997 (36 Ha) as a result of encroachments along the bank of
the lakes especially along the ‘Gaurav Path’. Removing these encroachments situated in the
catchment area should be done on priority basis for their conservation.
The advantageous location of Sanand as far as industrial developments are concerned has
motivated setting up of Special Investment Regions (SIR) in its surroundings. About, 12 km from
the Sanand city, is the Tata’s Nano small car manufacturing plant. The other developments
such as Changodar SIR and Sanand SIR are under planning stage by GIDC and can be seen
as the major developments catering to increased employment opportunities.
About 4.28 km of the Dedicated Freight Corridor passes through Sanand Taluka.
All these developments will be the major factors contributing towards high population growth.

Sanand Taluka is covered under the AUDA village area jantry. The jantry rates are prepared in
2006. It was found during the field surveys that the sudden escalation in market rates was
observed only after the declaration of setting up of Tata Small Car Manufacturing (Nano) plant
in Sanand i.e. since 2009. The official rates of properties as per jantry of the area are given in

Major impact is observed in the form of escalating land rates in the city especially along the
Sanand-Viramgam State Highway (No. 17). Since the city has been declared as a ‘Satellite
town’ of Ahmedabad city, the land rates are increased by almost 500-1000 Rs. per Sq. Yard.
The land parcels along the state highway cost about Rs. 7000-8000 per Sq. yard now. (Refer

2.9. Issues
• Developments concentrated along the transport corridors: Developments along the
major roads create traffic congestion on roads especially during the peak hours.
Centre for Environment Planning and Technology Page 40
CITY DEVELOPMENT PLAN SANAND 2010‐2015
Especially the issues such as ‘parking’ are not given importance, thus contributing
towards road congestion.
• Delay in the completion of Town Planning Schemes: Delay in the completion and
implementation of the town planning schemes has may lead to haphazard development
of the area in future.
• Congestion on the main market road: Uncontrolled commercial development and lack
of parking space contributes to the congestion along the main market road of the city. As
there is no reserved space and specified day for hawkers (street vendors), they occupy
major portion of the road throughout the year.
• Encroachments along the Lakes: Encroachments in the open space along the
Bhadreti lake and other two lakes can be observed. This hampers the natural drainage
system of the area. This becomes one of the issues to be resolved on priority basis
since the untreated waste water of the city also goes to be lakes.
• Escalating Land prices: The land prices along the state highway have been increased
by about Rs. 1000-1500 per Sq. Yard in last one year. The escalating prices create a
gap in the income and affordability of households thus creating disparity in different
classes of the society.
• Stagnant Industrial growth in the Region: The Taluka does not have any natural
resource base. Except agro-products such as cotton, paddy and tobacco, large
population of the Taluka does not possess any other resources like minerals or forest
products. A package of incentives for encouragement of industries in the state is
available to small scale units commissioned in particular areas which exclude Sanand
city.
2.10. Strategies
Many areas of the city are still lying vacant, unexplored probably due to lack of infrastructure
facilities such as water supply, sewerage, road developments, and streetlight. These areas can
be encouraged for to develop industrial units as well as new residential development, so as to
reduce congestion in the Gamtal area. Development of TP Schemes is a mutually benefitting
method for land development. AUDA has already planned four TP Schemes which are in draft
stage and need to be developed with priority. This will also control illegal developments which
might take place in absence of such schemes.
Centre for Environment Planning and Technology Page 41
CITY DEVELOPMENT PLAN SANAND 2010‐2015
Improved public transportation routes in Sanand that will offer residents more alternatives, traffic
patterns to ensure smooth traffic flow in the area and a better connectivity to nearby towns and
cities.
Large areas of lands have been reserved for township development in and around Sanand
especially on the road towards Nal Sarovar which is being released for real estate
developments. It is required to provide the infrastructure facilities such as roads, electricity,
water supply, etc. to create more demand for these land parcels.
The two upcoming Special Investment Regions (Sanand SIR and Changodar SIR) will act as
pull factor for migration from the surrounding region. As Sanand town is located in the influence
region of both of these SIR’s, it can be anticipated that it will be a preferred destination for
residence if provided with good social infrastructure facilities such as schools, hospitals and
communication facilities. Hence it becomes vital to provide adequate infrastructural facilities at
Sanand.
With a view to develop Sanand as a satellite town it is essential to develop local commercial
centers in Sanand which will create employment opportunities for the local people.
Centre for Environment Planning and Technology Page 42
CITY DEVELOPMENT PLAN SANAND 2010‐2015
3. Environmental Services
4.1. Water Supply
Planning for water supply in Sanand town needs to take care of sustainable water management
practices. The context of current culture and practices must be weighed together in
Technological, Environmental, Economic and Social factors for sustainable solutions. This
chapter tries to analyze the current situation, identify gaps in the system and develop strategies
for the same.
Source:
The present source of water supply for Sanand is town is ground water through tube wells about
16 in nos. Currently around 4 MLD of water is being supplied from ground water.
There are issues about quality of ground water. Quality testing of ground water indicates that,
out of 16 tube wells, quality of water in several tubes is not potable with dissolved solids in most
tube wells reaching near to the maximum permitted levels. For instance, water in only four tube
wells seems to be potable with a TDS between 1236 and 1494. In remaining tube well the TDS
is 1950 against the limit of 2000.
A scheme based on Narmada Canal near Telav Village is planned by GWSSB. The present
allocation for Sanand town is 6.5 Mld. Currently about 6.5 MLD is being supplied through this
source. Remaining water is supplied to Sanand Town through Tube well having depth of 250 m.
with pumping machinery. The Water Requirement as per the population projections worked out
is
Table 3‐1 Water demand
Year Population Water Supplied in Demand in MLD GAP in MLD
MLD (@140 Lpcd)
2010 50164 6.5+4 7.0 +3.5
2025 100000 10.5 14 ‐ 4
2040 200000 10.5 28 ‐17.5
Source: SNP and authors analysis
From the above it can be seen that the water supply allocation is adequate for the
present demand however there will be a deficit in the near future. Thus there is a gap of
14.5 MLD in water availability from source. This deficit has to be filled up through water supply
schemes. Efforts are on to augment the water supply from Narmada to about 14.5 MLD.
However, dependence on Narmada water during the irrigation months is doubtful.
Centre for Environment Planning and Technology Page 43
CITY DEVELOPMENT PLAN SANAND 2010‐2015
The present storage comprises Existing Sump of 10 lakh litres at Shankarwadi HW and existing
ESR of 2.2 lakh litres at the same location. Also there are two existing sumps of 5 and 10 lakh
litres at Mahadev Head works. For the Highway zone a 10 lakh litre sump and 12 lakh litre
capacity ESR’s is existing. Further 30 lakh litres of storage is proposed under the present
scheme under implementation. The total storage capacity in Sanand is 9.3 MLD.
Distribution Network:
The city has been divided into two Zones for water distribution (Refer Map 4.1)-
The distribution network in Sanand ranges from 10- 30 years old. The gamtal i.e. the old city
area network is about 30 years old. The water losses in current distribution network are about
20-25%. The present distribution network is very old and inadequate and hence a new
distribution network of DI and PVC lines in a length of about 30 km is proposed to be laid as
under

The implementation of 4 TP schemes will add another 40-60 km of road network which will
necessitate provision of additional pipe network.
The design of the distribution network will depend on the hours of supply. At present it seems
that the system is designed for 2 hours of supply. The old gamtal area is covered fully by piped
water supply from the various overhead tanks located in the city which also caters to the water
supply in the town. Since the T.P. Schemes have not been developed yet the provision for this
area will be curtail and needs to be planned envisaging the kind of development. AUDA is
proposing the TP Schemes with major proportion of area in R1 Zone. As per Sanand Nagar
Palika 100% population is covered under the piped water supply where as only the gamtal
areas and the area near the main roads in the TP Schemes is covered with piped water supply
and needs to extend to the whole TP Scheme area.
The town of Sanand does not have any metering system at the moment, with the development
of the town as a major residential area the water supply DPR has proposed metering system for
the town and also improvement in the quality of water by treatment at the head works and also
installing some treatment options for the ground water for removal of TDS.
2. Ground water quality is not acceptable and hence if ground water source needs to be
exploited proper investigation to be carried out to ensure adequate quality and quantity of
ground water availability.
3. Inadequate treatment and transmission capacity from source to the various distribution
stations.
4.2.3. Strategies
1. Sanand Nagar Palika needs to develop additional water supply sources. While Narmada
allocation is an option, full availability the water from Narmada in the irrigation months and
Centre for Environment Planning and Technology Page 45
CITY DEVELOPMENT PLAN SANAND 2010‐2015
in lean summer months is difficult. On the contrary, enough water is available during
monsoon season. Presently there is no system to store the water available in the Narmada
Canal beyond the canal capacity and thus water available cannot be utilized in later
months. Thus there needs to be a system to store the excess water available from
Narmada during the monsoon period.
2. Large storage capacities could be developed for Narmada water storage at a location
identified by AUDA/GoG. The storage requirement being large, underground or overhead
storage cannot be applied. Thus there may be the need to develop /maintain a lakes/
reservoir at the location. Further currently during monsoon there is a water runoff of
overflow from Thor Lake to the three Sanand lakes to the Nal Sarovar lake. If this water can
be trapped at Sanand, it could become useful for sourcing. The above arrangement for
lake/reservoir at a location near the Narmada Canal could also help in this function of
trapping the run off.
3. Treatment options for ground water need to be looked into carefully for future needs for
removal mainly TDS.
4. Rain water harvesting techniques at the household level need to be incorporated in the
New TP scheme areas.
5. Additional overhead and underground storage requirement for normal distribution functions
considering the requirements of 2040. This can be provided in a phase wise manner to co-
inside with development.
6. Additional distribution of network of 40-50 km for the Town planning schemes. The
distribution network should be designed considering the future development of Town
Planning schemes. The network should be designed to facilitate the provision of DMA
(District Metering Areas) with measurement capability with flow meters so as to monitor
flows. Consumer end metering should also be considered. This will help in reduce UFW.
7. Rationalization of connection charges for optimum recovery and metering where possible.

CITY DEVELOPMENT PLAN SANAND 2010‐2015
4.2. Sewerage
4.3.1. Existing Situation
There is no systematic sewerage system as well as sewage treatment and disposal system at
all in Sanand town. Thus, the sewage from these areas of Sanand is being discharged into
soak pits, septic tanks and open fields, which pollute the existing ground water table as well as
the soil of this area. The open drains near the village site, gives odour nuisance and have
become mosquito – breeding areas, resulting into spreading of malaria as well as other water -
borne diseases. The raw sewage seeped in the soil can find its way into leaky water supply
mains, thus causing heavy risk to the health of people, living in the surrounding area. The
sewage further contaminates the water of canal, pond also. The untreated sewage discharged
into open fields creates problems with crops and also field soil and also unhygienic conditions
and nuisance for the people living in the area. Assuming that the waste water generated is 80%
of water supplied the city currently produces around 4.8 MLD of sewage. This will increase as
suggested in the table below

Source: Authors analysis
Currently there are 12 public toilets that cater to the needs of the urban poor. The city would
need more facility in this regard.
4.3.2. Issues
• Lack of a proper sewage system for the city
• Increase in the risk of contamination of groundwater sources.
• Need for public toilets for the urban poor in the city.
4.3.3. Strategies
• The current system of disposal is inadequate considering the size of the city. This can
also lead to contamination of ground water which the city is dependent on in the current
situation. A detailed project report needs to be made considering the increase in
population and new TP schemes coming up. 100% area and population needs to be
covered under the system along with the provision of a STP for safe disposal.
• The distribution network needs to be planned keeping in mind the TP scheme road
layout and the project will progress once the TP scheme layout is made.
Centre for Environment Planning and Technology Page 47
CITY DEVELOPMENT PLAN SANAND 2010‐2015
• A proper STP is required for the city catering to the demands of 2040. Sanand also
poses a challenge in disposal of treated waste and hence the water treated can be
recycled and used for nearby industrial use thereby generating revenue. The gas
produced as a result of Sewage can be used as an energy efficient model to run the
infrastructure. Hence innovative ideas of recycling need to be explored.
The topography of Sanand town is such that ground levels are fairly even. The entire drainage
of the area is toward Nal Sarovar. The city of Sanand has open storm water drains which carry
the waste water from the kitchen and bathroom of the city and drain it into the three lakes
without any treatment.
A Storm Water Disposal system has to be designed such using the Lakes of the area as
detention water bodies with overflows in the natural drains towards Nal sarovar. The lakes have
to be cleaned and developed properly such that no pollution enters the lake. Currently the Strom
water drains are only located in the Gamtal area of the town and this needs to extend to the T.P.
Scheme areas. Around 40 Km of road network will be developed in the TP Scheme areas and
hence the main Storm water drainage lines need to be constructed alongside.
4.4.2. Issue
This practice of disposal poses a big threat of contamination of water in the lakes. The issue is
even more sensitive as water from these lakes drain into Nal Sarovar which is an eco sensitive
area and hence the city poses a threat to the migratory birds that come to Nal Sarovar every
year.
The disposal of water into the city lakes also effects the urban environment and since this water
is used by nearby farmers for agriculture, this can lead to contamination of food and vegetables.
4.4.3. Strategy
The waste water needs to be routed through the sewerage system of the city to avoid pollution
of the lakes. Sewerage system designed should take care of this aspect as well.
The storm water drains should be provided on the city especially in the new areas to avoid
water logging in the city at the time of heavy rains. The natural drainage of the city needs to be
considered while designing the system.

Note the total construction waste for the town is the biggest contributor, and is a revenue
generation opportunity. It is estimated that by 2030 the waste generated will be 31.5 tonnes per
day. In view of the above the population of the town is estimated to increase by three times
hence it’s necessary to look into practices for both collection and treatment. Sanand is still to
make an organized effort towards solid waste management and in view of this it will be a good
idea to look into the private sector to raise the standards of health, sanitation and urban
environment keeping pace with the rapid urbanization and growing population in the Satellite
town to Ahmedabad.
Door to door collection system is well established, this method has a larger dependence on
human systems rather than mechanization. A recent Survey of 16418 households, estimated
that door to door waste collection of whole Nagar Palika is 95% however the efficiency of the
system itself in terms of reliability of collection is a problem.
There is a proposal under the cluster development scheme by the government of Gujarat to
develop a common landfill disposal site for Sanand, Bavla and -----
Lack of capacities regarding Operations and Management currently affect the concerned civic
department, otherwise the system can easily see improvements
No treatment facilities exist, but can be brought into picture with partnership investments of
private players.
It must be noted that general toxic and hazardous waste is yet to be accounted for. Larger
quantity of very highly toxic or hazardous waste is subject to individuals own accountability and
the current legal provisioning.
At the Household and community levels, the minute quantities of toxic waste end up at landfill
sites or is incinerated, rather than carefully handled. This needs safe disposal.
Centre for Environment Planning and Technology Page 50
CITY DEVELOPMENT PLAN SANAND 2010‐2015
One example is of fly tipping of plastic waste and construction waste accumulating in one area,
forming a heap.
4.4.4. Issues
• No segregation of waste in the current practice.
• There is a lack of scientific disposal site of for waste.
• Location of waste site is close to the canal and hence there is a need for a sanitary
landfill site.
4.4.5. Strategies
Vision for Sanand to be a sustainable and healthy city requires waste management principles.
The principals of Three R- Reduce, Reuse and Recycle need to be applied.
• Recycling
• Composting
• Incinerating
• Landfill dumping.
The concept of capacity building and technology transfer/adopted are important. Domestic
waste can be disposed off more creatively like using wormiculture or if the waste has calorifc
values, brickets can be made as it is already done by AMC.
Composting : Another innovative approach can also be explored for Sanand, since the waste
is transported by trucks, half (50% to 60%) of the weight is organic matter which can be handled
using various methods like vermiculture and only the remaining waste can be transported to the
respective disposal sites. This will also help in tapping lot of dry tree waste which generally in
the present system is burnt at source itself. Also, since the transportation cost will go down, the
investment can be justified in long run.
Recycle: Since construction waste is highest, proposing a system like Crusher to recycle the
construction waste and use it as coarse or fine aggregate back in construction. This is already
under consideration by AMC and other MCs. Bombay has deployed a successful plant for the
Centre for Environment Planning and Technology Page 51
CITY DEVELOPMENT PLAN SANAND 2010‐2015
same. Government can allocate land for the above systems and investment can come from the
private players. As an immediate step Sanand Nagar Palika can allocate space for dumping
construction and levy charges for dumping of this waste. Since a lot of construction is going on
in Sanand steps need to me made to ensure water sprinkling is made mandatory at all the
construction sites.
Invite Private Public Partnership projects as a priority, and subsequent consultations and
dealings. Many private ventures would find it easy to operate once given a regulatory framework
to perform and profits. Some identified projects are:
b. Safety and protective gear for people working as cleaners and sweepers etc., at
Sanand.
e. Composting of green waste and vermiculture. This can also lead to revenue
generation.

CITY DEVELOPMENT PLAN SANAND 2010‐2015
The city is well connected by road and rail transport. Several State Highways pass through the
city. As a result traffic coming to as well as passing through the city is very high. The citizens
rely on the GSRTC buses or on personal vehicle for commuting to Ahmedabad which is 24 km
away from the city. Thus, the dependence on individual modes and intermediate public
transport is high. This chapter describes the importance of location of the city and its
connectivity in the region, current system of transportation and issues and future requirements.
Connectivity plays an important role in deciding the current traffic pattern as well as future
demands of the city. Sanand is a regional transport node which connects four major state
highways in Ahmedabad district as mentioned in the table below. The road network forms a
radial pattern of network. This leads to congestion of the core city area where all the roads
meet. Due to the current development along the major roads there is lack in hierarchy in the
system. The roads in the gamtal area are very narrow and there are encroachments along the
Main Market road that leads to APMC market. (Refer Map 5.1)

The AUDA Development Plan, 1997 planned Sanand City as One of the four Growth Centers
(Kalol, Dehgam, Sanand and Mohamedabad) of Ahmedabad city, which would attract rural
population in the nearby areas and thus reducing migration pressure on Ahmedabad. Due to
proximity to Ahmedabad and being a transport node, Sanand got integrated with the regional
transport network.
5.3. Rail
Sanand is also connected by rail to the mother city Ahmedabad; there are four trains that run
every day between Ahmedabad and Sanand.

As a part of the integrated mobility plan there are plans to connect Sanand with Ahmedabad
through regional rail to improve the connectivity in the region.
5.4. Traffic
The traffic count data of the state highways collected by the Road and building department is
given in the table below. The survey was conducted at 6 locations on the state highway. (Refer
Map 5.2).
All roads have witnessed increase in number of personal and commercial vehicles. A sudden
escalation in PCU and commercial vehicles is observed mainly on the Sanand- Kadi Road and
the Ambli-Bopal-Ghuma-Nidhraj-Sanand Road in last two years. A lot of congestion is
witnessed on the road leading to the APMC market which is worsened with an overall lack of
parking space in the city.

CITY DEVELOPMENT PLAN SANAND 2010‐2015
A detailed study of the traffic pattern on each road within the city especially in the Gamtal area
should be conducted to assess the situation of congestion.
Sanand is about 45 minutes drive from Ahmedabad and there is a regular bus service provided
by GSRTC at an interval of half an hour daily. Apart from this the four rail services mentioned in
the above section are also used by the public to commute to Ahmedabad. Apart from this
people also rely on the shared auto service that is also available between Sarkhej and Sanand.
There is a need to improve the public transportation system between Sanand and Ahmedabad
and for it to grow as a good residential city.
5.6. Accident
• Almost 80% of the accidents in Sanand City are reported on the Sanand-Viramgam
Highway. In spite of comparative decrease in total number of accidents, it can be
observed that on an average 2-3 accident occur every month in Sanand City. There is a
lack of street lighting on the city roads which leads to increase in accidents during night
time as suggested by the stakeholders and the complaints registered.

Provision of service lane on both sides of state highway could help in reducing the number
accidents. Also, as recorded in the stakeholder consultation conducted by AUDA in 2009, the
residents demand a ‘fly-over road’ on this state highway near the Bus-stand junction. However
this situation can be avoided by a provision of a ring road for the city in the TP Schemes.
Centre for Environment Planning and Technology Page 56
CITY DEVELOPMENT PLAN SANAND 2010‐2015
There is another proposal that has been submitted to GIDC for creation of a transport Nagar in
Sanand which will act as a major logistic hub for goods movement in the region.
AUDA is currently working on a study for the preparation of an Integrated Mobility Plan for
Greater Ahmedabad Region, identifying nodes and interchange options for the various modes
that are proposed for the region.
• Congestion on the major highways: The Viramgam State Highway No. 17 is an important
road having PCU count of 13020 (2009). As this road passes through the Sanand city it
is used for the local trips also. The Sanand Bus Stand is also located on this highway.
• The local trips create congestion on the State highway. Lack of allotted parking space
causes chaotic traffic on this stretch. Service lane along both side of the state highway
will help in streamlining the traffic on state highway.
• Bypass system for the city is also required keeping into account the number of vehicles
on the main Ahmedabad - Viramgam highway and the Bavla - Kadi Highway.
• There is a lack of Hierarchy in the network- no sub arterial, collector Roads which leads
to the traffic merging into the arterial roads creating congestion.
• It is foremost essential that the traffic going towards and coming from APMC market
should have a better and direct accessibility to all the State Highways without disturbing
the local traffic wherever possible, which at present creates a bottle neck situation.
5.9. Strategy
Transportation and connectivity holds the key to the development of Sanand as a successful
satellite town. The vision is to develop it as a residential town for the industrial development
that is taking place in the region and also to release the pressure of Ahmedabad.

The Slum population in the city is very low however with the increase in the economic activity
and availability of employment the number of migrant labour is on the increase as evident from
the table below.

Nagar Palika for urban poor. The percentage of people living in slums is negligible however
7.2% of the families are BPL.

It can be observed from the above data that there is lack of public toilet facility in the city. The
number of private toilets is 6320 whereas only 10 Public Toilets have been provided by Sanand
Nagar Palika. More than 4000 Households lack private toilet facility increasing the risk of
diseases in the city. In view of the upcoming developments, Sanand City will attract migratory
labours in the future which may generate more informal settlements that need to be catered to
while planning for the city.
Sanand housing stock comprises of the following type of structures as given in the table below
which clearly indicates the rise in informal settlements in the city.

Currently, two slum pockets can be identified in the Sanand Nagar Palika area. As per the
information available from SNP, some of the households staying in these slum pockets have
been allotted houses in one of the above schemes. But probably they prefer not to move away
from their original place due to its proximity to the place of work. (Refer Map 6.1)
Real estate market in the Sanand Town is dominated by increase supply of Housing units
presently. The demand of Housing units generated mainly from specific income group who sold
their land to industrial houses. Further perception of investor regarding strong future housing
demand from employees of specific industrial houses also contributed in housing unit demand in
Sanand Town. These two key facts provided impetus to growth of new residential townships.
Presently five new residential schemes have been planned in Sanand Town and all are
advanced stage of completion. All five residential township projects have been initiated by
private developers. Three residential schemes have been planned on Sanand – Viramgam
Highway and remaining Two Residential schemes on Sanand- Sarkhej Highway. The present
supply of residential units is presented in following Table.

Limited to establish Nano Plant at Charodi village 13 km away from Sanand Town. Upcoming
Centre for Environment Planning and Technology Page 61
CITY DEVELOPMENT PLAN SANAND 2010‐2015
DMIC, Industrial Investment and SIR may drive demand of housing units in Sanand Town.
However Law and Order Situation and poor social infrastructure/service delivery may hamper
the demand of Housing Units.
Although such housing schemes will provide for the housing demand in the city, they will not be
affordable for the labour class workers who may migrate from different parts of rural India. It will
be a good option to provide for temporary accommodation for such workers with the help of
some trust, etc. It should be made mandatory for the industries to provide for the
accommodation of their staff and labourers. Such facilities are provided by the rice mills in
Sanand, where the seasonal labourers work from November to March every year.
Future strategies
As mentioned above only two slum pockets have been identified in the city. One is located
along the Viramgam State highway whereas the other one is located near lake. The slum pocket
near the highway will be removed during the four laning of the Highway. The other slum pocket
is also an encroachment on the bank of the lake which should be removed for conserving the
natural drainage pattern of lake and its water quality.
Low cost housing needs to be providing by the government as taking into account the kind of
development that the city will experience in near future. At lease 20-30% (around 100 ha) land
should be reserved under the TP Schemes for the same
Arrangements need to be worked out for the seasonal workers who work in the rice mills.

6. Social Infrastructure
Development of physical infrastructure cannot usher in overall development at the desired level
if the social infrastructure is not simultaneously developed. Education, Health, Social security,
public entertainment etc. sectors has to be developed to ensure proper social infrastructure.
Social Development is usually referred to as the commitment towards realizing the vision of the
city. The provision of infrastructure facilities such as educational institutes, health care facilities
contributes in the socio-economic development of the city. This chapter reviews the provision of
social infrastructure facilities in the city (Refer Map 7.1). It takes a review of the,

It can be observed from the above table that there are adequate facilities for primary as well as
secondary and higher secondary education in the city, but for higher education and skilled
education, there is only one college and 2 ITI. The students have to go to Ahmedabad (24 km
from Sanand) for pursuing higher education in different streams. This hampers the number of
student opting for such education. However if we look at the requirement for 2030 when the
population will be three times the current population, there will be requirement as follows:

The industrial Training Institutes play an important role in supplying the skilled labour for
industries. In view of the upcoming industrial developments in the region, strengthening of such
training institutes will help in generating employment opportunities in Sanand and nearby region.
There are two Industrial Training Institutes in Sanand. One is a government ITI and the other is
run by a trust with government grants. The institute imparts training in different vocational job
oriented courses. The two ITI’s offers courses in streams of Fitter (2 years), wireman (2 years),
Mechanic Motor Vehicle (2 years), Mechanic Diesel (1 year), Computer Operator (1 year),
Armature & Rewinding (1 year) and Cutting & Sewing (1 year). In the pace of development of
Centre for Environment Planning and Technology Page 64
CITY DEVELOPMENT PLAN SANAND 2010‐2015
Sanand, the institutes will be playing a major role in supplying skilled man power to the
industries.
The private college in Sanand offers courses in Graduation in Arts (B.A.) and Commerce
(B.Com), Bachelors in Education (B.Ed.) and it also has Primary Teachers Training Center
(PTC). The city lacks education facilities in Science stream. Gujarat state is well known as a hub
of pharmaceutical industries. Sanand Taluka is home to reputed pharmaceutical companies
such as Cadila Health Care Ltd., etc. It will be a wise decision to start a college which offers
courses for Diploma/Bachelors in Pharmacy in Sanand.
• Sanand Town has adequate numbers of schools however service deliveries of schools
are very poor. The figures of male/female ratio and teachers /student ratio of schools are
not available and hence adequacy of numbers of teachers is not known.
• There is only one international standard good quality private school in its vicinity. It
emerged from the discussion with the people of Sanand Town that each school lacks
quality of teachers and infrastructure. Sanand Town depends on Ahmedabad city for
good quality schools. In spite of Taluka place, Sanand Town does not have any higher
secondary school imparting education on science stream.
• Further Vocational institutes like ITI have very low occupancy and there are no institutes
offering graduation level science or any post graduation level courses in the Town.
Students are travelling to Ahmedabad for education services.

In spite that, dispensaries and hospitals are mushroomed in the city, the city still lacks some
facilities such as Intensive Care Unit (ICU), Burn Ward, blood bank and a medical college which
needs to be provided as early as possible. The citizens have to come to Ahmedabad city for
accessing good health facilities in case of emergency. During the evening and night hours,
emergency treatment is availed at Ahmedabad only as doctors used to stay at Ahmedabad and
come to the Sanand Town in morning. Thus availability of doctors during the evening and
night time period for emergency services is area of concern10. Availability of doctors can be

attained through recruiting adequate numbers of doctors and introducing the different shifts for
working hours. Thus emergency treatment can be available in Sanand Town itself if need for
same arises.
Apart from this there are 5 Public Health Centers (PHCs) in Sanand Taluka as given below.
Sanand town is covered by Chekhla PHC with 2 medical officers and eight nursing Staff.

It can be observed from the table below that the number people suffering from diarrhea are
increasing which can be linked to unhygienic conditions such as contaminated drinking water in
the Taluka. The increase in Malaria occurrence can be again linked to unhygienic conditions
resulting in formation of water pools which become the breeding ground for mosquitoes.

7.10. Strategies:
Education
• There needs to be an emphasis on good quality education for all, especially for the
residents of slum localities. Improvements in the current system by capacity building of
the staff.
• Sanand needs to invest in higher education especially in the scientific fields to become
an attractive place to stay.
Centre for Environment Planning and Technology Page 71
CITY DEVELOPMENT PLAN SANAND 2010‐2015
Health
• Reduction of health risks and practices leading to chronic and infectious diseases
through effective implementation of sanitary programs, combined with regular inspection
of food joints by the Food and Civil Supplies Department.
• To reducing the dependency on the mother city for Specialized services by providing for
an all facility hospital along with improvements in the current system of management.
• Need for reduction of environmental threats and hazards to health through an integrated
approach by various concerned organizations and departments towards enhancement of
the environment of the city.
• Taking up a tree plantation program along the roads to make Sanand a Green city.
• Bhadreti Lake to be developed and converted to act as an effective open space and
recreational area.
• Private sector participation in revitalization of the existing waster bodies of the city.
• More Number of Socio-cultural Facilities to be provided as per population.
It is essential to provide following facilities in the city. It is suggested that the existing facilities
can be upgraded to provide these facilities wherever possible.

Ground water potential11 of any area is calculated based on the ground water ground water
recharge and total ground water draft in that area. In case of Sanand Taluka, the ground water
potential category has been identified as ‘Over Exploited’ indicating actual draft is more than the
quantity being recharged (Refer Map 8.2). Both Ahmedabad and Sanand Taluka lie in the over
exploited zone, raising concerns of its availability for domestic and agricultural use. It can be
noted that a lot of rice is grown in and around Sanand and hence the demand for irrigation water
in this region is high. At present Sanand relies mainly on ground water for its domestic water
needs which also raises the question on the security of water source for the town.
The categorization for groundwater development is based on twin criteria: Stage of groundwater development and
Long‐term trends based on the time series data of observation wells in each unit. The categories are as below:
¾ Safe = White
When the level of groundwater development is less than 70 % and the groundwater levels show no falling trend
over the last decade in any of the period.
¾ Semi‐critical = Grey
When the level of groundwater development is more than 70 % but less than 90 % and the groundwater levels fall
only during one of the periods i.e. pre‐monsoon or post‐monsoon.
¾ Critical = Dark
When the level of groundwater development is more than 90 % but less than 100 % and the groundwater levels
fall in both of the periods
¾ Over‐exploited
When the level of groundwater development is more than 100 % and the groundwater levels fall in both of the
periods.

8.5. Issues
1. Over-exploitation of ground water: This issue becomes important in light of the upcoming
industrial development. The whole Sanand taluka and along with the adjacent Ahmedabad
and Bavla taluka are over-exploited.
Centre for Environment Planning and Technology Page 75
CITY DEVELOPMENT PLAN SANAND 2010‐2015
2. Higher concentration of solids in Ground water: The water testing of tube wells revealed
that the ground water has high contents of dissolved solid which impart high salinity and
hardness in the water.
3. Deterioration of Lakes: Untreated waste water flows into the lakes deteriorating the quality
of water. Encroachments and garbage dumping has also been observed in the lakes.
4. Air Pollution in the city area: The ambient air quality near Sanand-Viramgam highway is
found to have high contents of suspended solids which impact on the respiratory system of
human beings. The main market road which connects with the Kadi road experiences
regular traffic congestion problems during peak hours leading to higher emissions from
vehicles.
8.6. Strategies
Lake Conservation and Development: The lakes in the city should be conserved as they
provide breathing spaces and can be developed as recreational area. Proper storm water
drainage plans need to be made in order to protect these areas from pollution. AUDA has
already planned for the development of Bhadreti lake. Removal of encroachments and tree
plantation along the lake banks is recommended for its conservation. A buffer zone of 30-50
meters can be created to maintain the natural flow of storm water. The waste water of the city
should be collected and treated in Waste water treatment plant before its disposal in lake water.
There is a need for interlinking and conservation of other lakes as they form a vital link in the
water that reaches Nal Sarovar.
Open spaces / Recreational spaces: The vision is to promote Sanand has good quality
residential town and hence the issues related to vehicular pollution need to be looked into. Tree
plantation along the roads and development of parks and playgrounds need to be taken up.
Rain Water harvesting: The existing lakes in the city need to be revitalized for collection of and
can be conserved for augmenting the water table during monsoon season.

9.1. Vulnerability
As per the disaster management plan the city has around 800 kaccha houses which are at high
risk during Earthquake. Apart from this around 250 thatches are at higher risk during disasters
such as flood and cyclone. Fortunately these disasters have very low probability of occurrence
in case of Sanand.
Around 8069 students and 242 teachers are also vulnerable to earthquake in Sanand.

9.3. Preparedness
Preparedness in the time of disaster can save many lives; this section tries to Sanand on this
criterian.
Fire Brigade:
Fire brigades are used in a disaster situation as earthquakes can lead to fires and also they help
in rescue operations. Currently the city does not have any fire brigade service or a trained fire
officer, this is an issue of great concern as Sanand has to rely on Ahmedabad and in case of
emergency the loss of life and property can be high due to this negligence.
Health facility:
There are no specialized hospitals in the city as discussed in the chapter 7 (Social
Infrastructure) the city still lacks facilities such as Intensive Care Unit (ICU), Burn Ward, blood
bank. The citizens have to come to Ahmedabad city for accessing good health facilities in case
Centre for Environment Planning and Technology Page 78
CITY DEVELOPMENT PLAN SANAND 2010‐2015
of emergency. There are 12 medicine shops in the city which are adequate for the current
population.
Communication:
Households in Sanand have access to communication facilities such as TV, Radio, and
Telephone which can be of help for communication purpose during emergency situations. It
should be noted that although only 13.0% households have a telephone connection, the
personal mobile use may have increased which is not captured here.

The city lacks maintained open spaces such as gardens, parks or accessible open spaces,
which can be used as an emergency gathering center during emergencies.

Connectivity:
9.4. Issues
• There is an absence of fire brigade and fire men in the city.
• Lack of proper emergency medical services as the city hospitals are not prepared at the
time of emergency.
• Presence of narrow roads in the gamtal area may lead to difficulty in access during
emergency.
• There is a lack of police force in the city to maintain law and order at the time of
emergence/ disaster.
• Absence of a proper Disaster management plan for the city.
9.5. Strategy
• To deal with the emergency situation in the city as a result of a natural or a manmade
disaster it is important to have a proper Disaster Management Plan, detailing out the
requirement of trained personnel along with procurement of proper equipment.
• Training and capacity building of the Nagar Palika employee is a must to deal with the
disaster situation.
• Identification of the vulnerable school buildings in Sanand and proper retrofitting of
school buildings as they act a shelter places in case of a disaster.
• Improve the medical facilities in the city to deal with emergencies, setting up of a burns
ward in the city hospital.
• Disaster management centre needs to be established in the town. For this reason the
Nagarpalika needs to identify the most potential area in the city.

It can be seen that revenue income and expenditure have grown steadily. However the
Municipality is able to maintain revenue surplus, 21% of the total revenue income. This is lower
than standard rate of 40% observed for sustainable municipal finance.
Capital income has increased substantially due to various grants and transfers from the State
Government. On the other hand capital works have been executed at slow pace. It resulted to
the notable surplus in closing balance of 2008-09.

• Grant and transfers from the state government contributes more than half to the total revenue
income, followed by Tax income. However, contribution ratio between both the above income
heads has been changing reversely since last three years. The tax income has been
increased significantly due to major tax collection drive. The share of non tax income to the
total revenue income has remained static over a period of time.
• The octroi compensation grant consist of 66% of the total grant and transfers while rest 34%
comprises transfers from the State Government for its various schemes and plans
• Tax income mainly comes from property tax (64% of the total tax income) and water tax
(36%). Income from both taxes has been increased 25% and 15% respectively in last five
years.
• 57% of the total Non tax revenue comes from public service charges and fees while rest is
generated through rent on municipality’s own properties.

o Public service fees mainly comprise new construction fees and penalty (52% of the total)
followed by water connection/ disconnection fees (17%) and property transfer fees

• Although the Municipality has borrowed some amount, the capital works are primarily
dependent on Government grants and contribution
• Such grants are mainly spent on Roads and bridges, water supply and sewerage and
sanitation.
• It can be seen that capital income utilization ratio has been reduced from 1.18 in 2004-05 to
0.67 in 2008-09. It shows lower space of asset creation and thus excess of capital grant till
2008-09.
Based on the above discussion, issues and recommendations pertaining to Municipal finance
are made here below.
From the review of actual municipal accounts of Sanand made so far, it is learnt that
• In spite of increasing Tax revenue, the Sanand Municipality is highly relying on Government
grants and transfers as more than 50% of revenue expenditure is being financed from this
source.
o The reliance on one source of income should be reduced with creation of other
sources of own income.
• The revenues of the ULB are by and large showing an upward trend. They show a fluctuating
trend only with regard to certain streams of income. The property and streetlight taxes which
Centre for Environment Planning and Technology Page 85
CITY DEVELOPMENT PLAN SANAND 2010‐2015
are fairly major sources of revenue contributing 35% of the total own sources of income,
show a generally upward trend. Some other sources such as water tax and education cess,
contributing 20% of the total own sources of revenue, show some fluctuation. Fluctuation is
seen in respect of non tax revenue such as rental income and new construction fee/penalty.
These sources are exposed to market and hence are likely to show variations.
• Around 12000 taxable properties are identified by the ULB. As reported by the ULB, the no of
unidentified properties is negligible, leaving little or no scope for increasing revenue through
enhancement in coverage. However, the town is likely to see an increase in population to
around 1 lakh by 2020-21. This will mean an increase in number of households to around
25,000. This impacts the revenues positively.
• The collection ratio of the property tax has remained around 40% in the last three years. The
ULB proposes to take this to 85% by 2012. The major challenge in doing this is the
somewhat difficult local law and order situation which has been brought to the notice of the
State Government. The State Government is keen on developing Sanand and the area
around it and it is willing to facilitate the mitigation of any such issues.
• Overall, increase in holdings, increase in collection efficiency and increase in property tax
rates combine to provide fairly high impetus in property tax income, thereby reducing the
dependence on grant funds from around one half presently to only around 40% by 2020-21.
Details are explained in the chapter on FOP.
• The ULB is also planning to focus on strengthening its own source of income by creating
awareness among the tax payers, organizing ward wise camps for current and arrear tax
collection, rewarding honest tax payers in public and offering rebate or other benefits on
advance tax payment.
• As discussed earlier, the revenue surplus to revenue income ratios is as low as 21% percent
against the standard 40%. It can be improved through increase in revenue income as
revenue expenses seem fairly under control.
• On capital account part, the capital income utilization should be increased up to optimum
level which is around 80% - 90% in urban finance.
Centre for Environment Planning and Technology Page 86
CITY DEVELOPMENT PLAN SANAND 2010‐2015
• Capital expenditures mostly have been made in three sectors namely Roads, water supply
and sewerage and sanitation. It is recommended to opt systematic allocation of capital funds
to all the key sectors of urban amenities and basic facilities such as storm water, street lights,
public places etc. to obtain inclusive development of the town.

11.3. Reforms
Sanand Municipality has implemented the some reforms. However reforms in many more areas
remain desirable if it is to metamorphose into a useful satellite town to Ahmedabad.
Table 11‐3 Reforms undertaken by Sanand Nagar Palika
No. Reform Area Performance and Progress
1 Computerization, E- Sanand already possesses a web site with downloadable forms for
Governance and Online tax various services. Complains can be made online. Contact details of
payment concerned office are also given. Tax calculator is also provided.
2 Tax collection Currently the collection ratio is very poor at around 40%. There is huge
need to improve in this area. Area base tax has already been started in
the year 2007-08.
6 Hawkers Management Presently some of the city roads are congested on account of presence
of informal markets. These roads need to managed actively. A
department / cell for hawkers’ management would be desirable.
8 Focus on Service Delivery In order to become a successful satellite town contributing to the entire
and Infrastructure Creation region, Sanand will need to improve the quality of services, especially
in Social Infrastructure in the area of health and education. There is a strong need to develop
capability within the system, either through formation of a school board/
healthcare institutions within the system which reaches out or partners
with private or voluntary sector.

The first meeting for the preparation of CDP was held in 22nd December 2009 where in the CDP
policy Committee and the Technical committee were decided on. The Policy committee
constituted of chairman AUDA, Municipal Commissioner AMC, Nodal officer GUDM and Chief
Officer Sanand Nagar Palika.
Alongside this the technical committee was also setup to work with the consultant in
preparation of CDP which included Engineer AMC, Engineer Sanand Nagar Palika, Senior
Town Planner AUDA and Project monitoring and implementation officer GUDM.
The stakeholders meeting was carried out in November 2009 in the Nagar Palika Hall which
was attending by 50 people from the community to know their perception of the growth and
development of city in next twenty years and the major problems which they would like to get
resolved as early as possible. This meeting was called upon by AUDA as a part of the
Development Plan Process. Overall it was found that, being in close proximity to the megacity of
Ahmedabad and the current developments in the surrounding region has changed the
perception of the residents. The stakeholder meeting has come out with excellent outcomes
which will help the congested city get transformed into a spacious, livable city with good
environmental conditions. The minutes of this meeting were used to get an initial perspective on
people’s views about development in Sanand.
Another stakeholder meeting was organized in December 2009 in Nagar Palika Hall. The stake
holders who participated in the consultation process were: Government Organizations, officials,
Residents, Non-government organizations.

1 There is a plan to develop the city area by implementation of four Town Planning
schemes, which are in the proposal stage. The citizens emphasize on the
implementation of TP Schemes would enable the rapid provision of basic
infrastructure services such as roads, gutter, streetlights, etc.
2 The Sanand Municipality area should be provided with Gardens, Water works,
Drainage pumping stations, Educational facilities for which the process of land
acquisition should be started immediately.
3 Sanand is located on the Sanand-Viramgam State highway no. 17, which passes
through the core area of the city. Provision of service road on both sides of the
highway is vital from safety point of view.
4 The road emerging from Sanand ST Bus Stand and going towards Kadi town is an
important road in the region. This road should be declared as a DP/TP road and
the condition should be improved.
5 Lake revitalization and beautification project for the Bhadreti Lake, Interlinking of
lakes
6 Reservation of land for Municipality office and Fire Station
7 Quarters for the Municipality staff and affordable housing projects for the
economically weaker sections.

• Sanand has been declared as a Satellite town of Ahmedabad city: Proximity and
functional linkages to Metro city Ahmedabad (20 km from Ahmedabad) are the key
strengths
• Sanand is well connected with mother city Ahmedabad and other important cities in the
state. State highway (SH) 17 is the most important connecting road, connecting
Ahmedabad towards East and Viramgam towards West. Other important state highways
are SH 135 connecting Kadi towards North, SH 144 leading to Rajkot, towards South
and SH 135 connecting to Sayla towards South West.
• Dedicated Freight Corridor passes through Sanand Taluka
Weakness:
• Complete absence of two basic infrastructure facilities: Sewerage and Storm water
drainage.
• Congestion within city area, especially the market road.
• Absence of reliable mode of transport to Ahmedabad. The residents have to rely on the
inconvenient (in terms of timings) State transport services or the share auto rickshaws.
Opportunities:
• Sanand could be the hub for auto-industries in Gujarat. After Tata Motor’s Nano
Manufacturing plant, the largest two-wheeler manufacturer in India, Hero Honda, is also
planning to set up a new manufacturing plant at Sanand.
• Vast pools of lands are available in and around Sanand city lying vacant which can be
released for the developments after implementation of TP Schemes.
• Two Special Investment Regions, at Sanand and Changodar, are being developed
adjoining the Sanand Taluka boundary.
• Employment opportunities created by the industrial developments (auto industries, real
estate developments)
Threats:
• Unplanned and chaotic growth of city possible if the pace of infrastructure development
is not matched with the increase in population.
Centre for Environment Planning and Technology Page 97
CITY DEVELOPMENT PLAN SANAND 2010‐2015
It is essential to tap the upcoming employment opportunities by way making available skilled
manpower, locally, as per the requirement of the industries. This can be achieved by provision
of adequate technical institutes such as Engineering College, ITI (Industrial Training Institutes),
etc. Also, provision of basic as well as social infrastructure facilities in the city, will make it more
livable and hence would be preferred as a place to live by the migrated people.
One of the major reasons for the unplanned and chaotic growth of cities is the gap in the
implementation of infrastructure facilities to cover the growing population and its spread. Hence,
it is important that the implementation of planning regulations including building bye-laws should
be adhered to along with speedy implementation of TP schemes. Delay in doing so would lead
to uneven and uncontrolled escalation in property prices. While making the detailed TP plan for
the city it is important to have at least 20-30% space for low income housing.

The ground water reserves in the region are already ‘over-exploited’. It is crucial to control the
withdrawal of ground water by the industries especially in the two SIR regions. The strict
VISION STATEMENT
Sanand to become a satellite town to Ahmedabad in the sense of providing high quality living spaces,
good Infrastructure and Safe Livable Environment for supporting local employment and industrial
growth in the vicinity of Ahmedabad.
• Safe livable environment for all its citizens
• Controlled Development especially in newly developing areas
• Growth in harmony with the Nature (Conservation of Natural Resources)
• Resourceful market place catering to its own residents as well as nearby population
• Efficient transportation links with the surrounding region especially Ahmedabad City
4. Resourceful market place catering to its own residents as well as nearby population
which would be residing in the upcoming real estate / housing developments and the
SIRs
Sanand would serve as the nearest city to the residents of the SIR area as well as other real
estate developments along Nal-sarovar road. Sanand would serve as a resourceful market for
all kind of commodities and services to this area which would ultimately help in creating
employment opportunities.
5. Efficient transportation links with the surrounding region especially Ahmedabad city.
Being the satellite town of Ahmedabad, Sanand has functional linkages with Ahmedabad.
Hence, it is vital to have an efficient system of transportation between these two cities which will
further nurture the linkages. Along with this the city also needs a ring road which would act as a
bypass to Sanand. There should be provision for the ring road in the town planning schemes.
Keeping the needs and the aspirations of the people in mind a vision for the city has been
worked out

The phasing of capital investment has been suggested based on availability of financial
resources (for new investments and O & M), technical capacity of Sanand Municipality for
construction and O & M activities as well as priority for city development.
The phasing/ scheduling of investments have been carried out through an iterative process. The
following principles of phasing have been taken into account.
Figure 13‐1 Principles of Phasing
• Completion year of 2012-13 set for all projects is aligned with the JnNURM guidelines to
complete projects under the scheme in the above stipulated time limit
• Inter-sectoral linkages
The CIP includes identified projects to cater to the demand of the city populace by the year
2041.

CITY DEVELOPMENT PLAN SANAND 2010‐2015
Accordingly, the total estimated capital expenditure required for providing efficient services to
the population of Sanand Municipality by the year 2041 is about Rs.229 crore at the constant
prices. The expenditure is divided into two phases considering executing capacity of the ULB
and financial resources available with it. The first phase of investment is planned between 2010
and 2015 and balance is proposed to be implemented during 2021-25. The table below

As far as sector wise investment is concerned, around 52% of the total capex is proposed to be
made in the four core areas of Water Supply, Sewerage, Strom Water Drainage and Sanitation.
Roads and bridges including streetlights require provision of 26%.
Key projects in water sector are Augmentation of Narmada Canal, Water Source Development
through storage and trapping, Ground Water Treatment Plant, Strengthening of Distribution
Network, Creation of Overhead Pumps and introduction of meter based billing system. Whereas
capital works for SWD mainly comprises lying of pipelines.
Investment for Social Infrastructure and reforms in Urban Governance/Capacity Building is 11%
of the total investment each. The social infrastructure includes development of open spaces,
gardens and education institutes as per the gaps identified under the CDP. The education
institutes comprise 50% of the total investment in Social infrastructure. Such projects would
attract private sector participation as they are commercially viable. Hence, Education institutes
are proposed to be developed on PPP basis.
Reforms in Urban governance mainly comprise capacity building Information Technology based
initiatives in the governance system. The cost mainly includes purchase of software, consulting
charges, training fees and such other soft elements.

It is learnt that preparedness of Sanand municipality to face any natural or manmade disaster is
in very initial stage. There is lack of responding facilities from fire fighting equipments to trauma
care centre. Thus it is proposed to create such facility to cope with unexpected calamities. 2% of
total investment is proposed for Disaster Management.
Basic services for the Urban Poor comprise 4% of the total investment. It includes projects such
as slum networking and construction of houses for EWS.
It is observed during assessment of actual municipal finance that the revenue surplus is around
Rs 65 lakh in last two years and is expected to be around Rs 80 lakh in 2009-10. Against this
kind of revenue surplus, the O&M burden that would be created would be much higher (in the
range of 4-5% of the Capex). Aware of this situation, the Government of Gujarat has proposed
to provide a specific O&M Assistance / grant every year through the Ahmedabad Urban Dev
Authority (AUDA) or any similar institution. This will make the investment sustainable and allow
the reaping of the benefits of the satellite city development.
Also the ULB does not have a capacity to execute capital projects of value more than 2 crore in
a year. This capacity could increase with reforms and capacity building. The AMC / AUDA /
GoG will be assisting in this area also. The means of finance for the above investment is
discussed here further

As can be seen in the above table, 50% of investment in sectors such as social development
(education and healthcare), 75% of investment in solid waste management can be materialized
in PPP format. Also 50% investment in streetlight development (out of estimated cost of Rs. 200
lakh) would be made with community participation where the installment cost shall be borne by
the beneficiaries of the street light while the O&M would be done by the ULB. However PPP in
other areas of urban infrastructure is very difficult to implement on successful basis.
Around 82% of the total investment shall be funded by the Central Government while 9% shall
be financed by the UDA/ULBs own sources.

CITY DEVELOPMENT PLAN SANAND 2010‐2015
Small towns like Sanand typically have low operating surplus. Often the operating ratio (revenue
income over revenue expenditure) of small towns is unfavorable. It is therefore important to
ensure that the level of capital investment is sustainable and is phased correctly.
The level of operating surplus for Sanand is shown in the chapter on Municipal Finance. It
shows that Sanand Municipality has generated a surplus of around Rs 65 lakh as operating
surplus in 2007-08 and 2008-09. The surplus could be slightly higher to the tune of Rs 80 lakh in
2009-10 as per early indications.
However, while this level of operating surplus is not unhealthy (it represents an operating ratio
of 23% versus a desirable 40%), in order to sustain the CIP, the operating surplus needs to be
higher in the future. An analysis of the revenue structure of Sanand reveals that it is possible to
increase it to a level of around Rs 200-300 lakh through various measures as follows;
Tax revenue
• Average demand of combined tax value per property including property tax, conservancy
tax, water tax and street light charges is estimated to increase upto Rs. 2400 in 2020-21
from existing Rs. 1900. Based on increase of 10% in rates every five years. This is based
on the continuation of the prevailing practice of such revision presently.
• Coverage ratio would be 100% while tax collection ratio would be 85%. This is based on
ULBs own estimates and the same have been committed by it in the reforms.
• At present there are 792 professionals who pay average Rs 2000 as professional tax. This
is likely to increase to 1400 by 2020-21. The tax rate would increase 5% in every five years

CITY DEVELOPMENT PLAN SANAND 2010‐2015
Two major sources of non tax income namely rents on municipal properties and new
construction fees are estimated to grow at 25% each. Past trend for both the income shows
healthy 23% and 50% CAGR (For last four years). Considering the high growth potential of
Sanand it is estimated to boost the given rate.
The revenue expenditure is estimated to grow with the past trend with influx of additional O&M
expenses that would incurred from the new investment. The additional O&M burden can be
reduced by taking up some of the projects on PPP basis. That has been discussed earlier.
Given the level of CIP discussed earlier, the level of O&M Expenditure is placed below. The
O&M Expenditure increases coinciding with the phasing of capital expenditure.

2010-11 2014-15 2015-16 2017-18 2019-20 2020-21
The key question of whether the given level of CIP is sustainable in terms of the ULB’s
capability to meet this level of O&M Expenditure is answered in the full financial operating plan
for Sanand Municipality placed in the table below. The FOP shows the following features:
• The revenue income level of Sanand rises from present around Rs 3 crore in 2009-10 to
around Rs 14 crore to 2020-21
Centre for Environment Planning and Technology Page 106
CITY DEVELOPMENT PLAN SANAND 2010‐2015
• The revenue surplus is not enough to meet the operating expenditure arising from the CIP in
most years. However the capacity of the ULB to absorb a higher level of capital works is
enhanced through the mechanism of an O&M Assistance Grant from the AUDA/GoG which
would be filling this deficit to allow sustainable investments.
• A sum of Rs 500 lakh is set aside from the municipal fund for completion of existing projects.
Table 14‐2 Status of municipal finance
Status of Municipal finance (Rs. Lakh) 2009-10 2010-11 2014-15 2015-16 2020-21
Revenue Income 383.16 447.72 960.71 1047.21 1678.39
Revenue expenditure 235.67 259.03 383.87 425.09 692.47
Additional O&M 0.00 79.60 510.50 536.03 684.12
Revenue surplus / deficit 147.50 109.10 66.34 86.10 301.81
Despite various measures and reforms suggested to increase own sources of revenue and
considered in the projection of the FOP, an aggregate estimated O&M assistance of Rs. 7.90
crore upto 2020-21 would be required for the sustenance of the CIP. This is after almost
enhancement of own sources revenue through conventional (increase in tax base, tax rate,
collection efficiency etc.) and unconventional (PPP etc.). However, the burden in this regard for
O&M assistance works out to be only Rs. 65 lakh pa on an average.
It can be seen from the summary of the FOP through a mix of increase in revenue income levels
and the O&M assistance / grant discussed earlier, the burden of O&M expenditure for the next
twenty years arising from the CIP is sustainable.
The details of the FOP are shown in the table following this chapter.
