PPPs in water sector Ramanujam S.R Director – Urban Practice February 26, 2009 Contents • Need for PPP - taking urban space as an example • Forms of PPP that are relevant • Learnings from experience 2. Indian water sector • Water services are provided by – local Governments or – agencies reporting to regional Governments • Capital investments have been largely funded by – Revenue surplus (in very few cities) – Regional Government budget support and – Donor projects 3. Service levels are inadequate Cost Recovery (No of towns) NRW Hours of Supply Supply Quantity Coverage 0.0% 20.0% 40.0% 60.0% Service Levels Cost recovery and continuity of supply are poor 5.

Only gaps in key functions are summarised. 100% Many technologies are new to local bodies Sewage treatment plants Solid waste disposal < 25 % < 10 % Less than 25% of the towns in the sample state have sewage treatment plants. Less than 10% of the towns have scientific facilities for solid 10. disposal. As a result these towns are not familiar with these technologies. waste 3.

The Collection PPP timelines in water Signs of success A few projects grounded Momentum subsided Way Ahead? Onset of pessimism Now Mid to Late 90s Mid decade Around 2000 First initiatives High international interest Poor results 12. Efforts to prepare PPP projects Many ongoing initiatives High NGO opposition Waiting for first commercial results High profile projects run aground PPP interest at tipping point Mid 1990s, Failed projects Pune Hyderabad Goa Bangalore 13.

Latur, Chandrapur Design Construction O & M Collection Tariff PPP timelines in water – Change is visible Water sector is seeing increased success with PPPs Now Mid to Late 90s Mid decade Around 2000 PPP concepts failed in the water sector 33. What has possibly changed • Projects are increasingly focussing on distribution improvements – Unlike in the earlier years when capacity addition and bulk water was the focus – Hardly any pure bulk water project (with the exception of desal) – The expectation is more on service delivery improvement, not capital infusion from private sector – Ready made PPP concepts failed to work when applied in water sector – Bottom up efforts by water sector through PPPs are showing better results • Is it finally a case of the dog wagging the tail? 34. What has possibly changed….2 • Domestic operator interest and success is high – Atleast five Indian operators are common bidders in many projects – International operators are aligning with domestic operators – More comfortable with collection risks, generally have a higher commercial risk appetite – Gain higher political acceptability – NGO activism less vocal as compared to international operators 35. What have been the key enablers • Macro level - Strong public funding – JnNURM support has been critical (Salt Lake, Mysore, potentially Madurai) – Public funding in other cases (KUWASIP, Latur) • Ground level – Attention to detail – Government of Maharashtra has a volumetric tariff policy, had financed water audits and energy audits – Karnataka had spent adequate time on preparation – Balanced approach in contract design (Salt Lake, KUWASIP, Latur) 36. Still a question mark • Which operator model will work? – Wide range being tested in the early projects. – Mysore – “ Build at near fixed budget” and “Operate” – KUWASIP – “Construction Manager” and “Operator” – Bhiwandi and Haldia – “Invest” and “Operate” • Each model has varying characters of Investor, Construction Manager and Operator 37. Many initiatives are in the pipeline Ajmer Gujarat Nagpur Scale up Nashik, Aurangabad Naya Raipur KUWASIP Scale up Mangalore 38. What are key issues to be considered? • Policy level changes – Public funding is necessary – Operator model to be flexible, still no conclusion on what will work – Government should invest in surveys and preparatory work (or) partner with operator in a discovery phase – Metering and volumetric tariff policy should be in place – Tariff revision is preferable, but not necessary 39. – But tariff clarity is a must • Project level support – Invest in survey – water audit, energy audit, household survey – Decide level of support (and) choice of contract model based on sound financial analysis – Consistent pre-qualification criteria – Provide for a wide range of consortia structure – International operators may not always want to come in as Lead (or) in Joint Venture PPP momentum is at tipping point in water sector Signs of success A few projects grounded Momentum subsided Way Ahead? Onset of pessimism Now Mid to Late 90s Mid decade Around 2000 First initiatives High international interest Poor results 40. Efforts to prepare PPP projects Many ongoing initiatives High NGO opposition Waiting for first commercial results High profile projects run aground PPP interest at tipping point In Summary • PPP momentum is at tipping point – Early successes, many initiatives in pipeline • Palpable interest from domestic operators, aligned with international operators • Projects are deciding PPP scope, not the other way around • Public funding, focus on distribution and volumetric tariff are key requirements for success • Operator model still evolving 41.
