Jawaharlal Nehru

National Urban Renewal Mission(JNNURM)


10/26

Context for JNNURM

JNNURM, launched in Dec 2005, is the GOIs

response to the urban challenge

Urban System Second Largest System Globally

Urban Population: 315 million

Urban Decadal Growth: 25-30% GDP contribution 50% +

Urban Challenge


11/26

Inadequate urban infrastructure,

water, sanitation, 60+ million

slum population, weak institutional

and financial frameworks

constraining adequate and

sustainable service delivery, and

more


12/26

JNNURM Structure

Two major components

1. Urban Infrastructure and Governance

(UIGMOUD)

2. Basic services for the Urban Poor (BSP-

MHPA)


13/26

JNNURM Objectives & Scope &

Financing andImplementation Arrangements..

Objective of JNNURM:

To scale up planned and integrateddevelopment of urban infrastructure andservices in 63 cities in urban renewal, WSS,SWM, drainage, transport, car parking,

heritage development, preservation of waterbodies and prevention of soil erosion.

To promote urban reforms for efficient,sustainable, and accountable urban service

delivery


14/26

Funding of JNNURM:

$6.4 billion to be spent over 7 years ofJNNURM for UIG

Central grant financing of 35-90% depending

on the classification of the cities and theprojects.

Implementing Agency: Ministry of Urban

Development(MOUD) through a MissionDirectorate.


15/26

Special Features..

First comprehensive and planned approach

Cities are required to prepare City

Development Plans (Vision Documents) asparticipatory frameworks for

Infrastructure planning and prioritization, and

Framing urban reform agendas


16/26

Funding support for

infrastructure is linked to reforms Cities need to negotiate and enter

into MoAs with MOUD to

implement urban reforms in order

to access JNNURM funds..

Achievements Infrastructure

Projects One or more projects sanctioned in 54 cities out of

63 mission cities (over 26 States out of 32 states.

Of the remaining 9 cities, for 5 cities, projects

submitted (Delhi,Agartala, Puri, Shillong and

Ranchi).

78 % of the projects sanctioned (in terms of value ofprojects) are for priority sectors like WSS, Drainage

and SWM


19/26

11 % of the projects sanctioned(in terms of

value of Projects) are for improving PublicTransport.

Public transport(especially BRTS) and SWM

projectsare attracting private sectordue to

evolving revenue models and user charge

regimes.

Out of 90 projects committed for completion

before December 2008, 28 projects reported

satisfactory utilization of funds.


20/26

Construction of four lane Bridge acrossRiver Sabarmati connecting Vasna andPirana 122 ft ring road

Bangalore

Augmentation of Additional 100 MLD ofwater from CWSS stage IV Phase I


22/26

Constraints..

The role of TA and the Cell is evolving as the

JNNURM program progresses, requiring

changes to the team composition.

The MOUD and the Mission Directorate need

to putin place a dedicated team whose

capacity must be built to manage and

implement the JNNURM.


23/26

Without this it is unlikely that the

operational constraints can be

overcome as JNNURM enters a critical

phase of project implementation.


24/26

Opportunities for Further

Partnering

with JNNURM.. Funding for visible, big-ticket projects (e.g. MRTS)

Technical Assistance to individual states for

capacity building,project monitoring systems

Technical Assistance for specific weak states and

regions (e.g. NorthEast)

Facilitating PPP and non-sovereign financing as away of leveraging JNNURM funds

Consider earmarking loan funds to meet the gap of

JNNURM financing in selected states


25/26

Financing the establishment

and capacity development of

urban institutions/researchcentres for sustainablecapacity building.
