About Chennai Kanyakumari Industrial Corridor project

Background

The Development of economic or Industrial corridors is an effective infrastructure intervention that integrates industry, infrastructure and urban agglomerations. The East Coast Economic Corridor (ECEC) is among the 5 Industrial corridors proposed by Department of Industrial Policy & Promotion (DIPP) to promote port-based industrialization, Asian Development Bank (ADB) is working with GOI and States in the ECEC to conceptualize projects that are in consonance with the ECEC development plan. The present studies, in relation to Tamil Nadu.

 
About us Image
 

The Chennai Kanyakumari Industrial Corridor (CKIC) part of the East Coast Economic Corridors, is envisaged along the coast of Tamil Nadu to leverage upon Tamil Nadu’s 1,000 km long coastline and operational ports. The CKIC covers an influence area of 20 districts (13 on the coast and 10 in the hinterland) out of 38 districts of Tamil Nadu. The influence area covers about 70% of the state’s area and population and contributes 74% to the state’s GSDB. Three trunk arterial roads – NH-7, NH-45 and SH-49 (East Coast Road) run through the corridor connecting to the north and south in Tamil Nadu. Through transverse road linkages, these roads forma network that serves as the spine of the corridor. In terms of other key transport linkages, the corridor is also served by: Chennai Kanyakumari main railway line, which runs through the corridor: Three major ports of Chennai, Kamarajar (Ennore) and VOC (Thoothukudi), together with a capacity of 167 MTPA and the ports of Kattupalli & Karaikal with 51 MTPA capacity: and Three international airports (Chennai, Tiruchirapalli and Madurai) and one domestic airport (Thoothukudi).

Project formulation
  • Around 18,500 km of road network studied by ADB
  • The corridors proposed now are part of Comprehensive study made by ADB (early bird projects)
  • DPR for these projects have been prepared as a part of Strategic Option Study (SOS) carried out for selection of roads for upgradation by GoTN utilizing the services of IIT – Madras as the consultant Analysis based on the data from 22,000 km of CRN roads, through RMMS Objective selection process based on weightage for traffic and road condition
  • After scientific prioritisation, 2867 km length of CRN was taken up for Techno Economic Feasibility Study
Analysis and Selection
  • 2867 km of selected CRN has 44 roads with 99 links (Consists of 2664 kms of SH and 203 kms of MDR) Out of 2867 km of CRN selected under SOS II, 643 km has been taken up under TNRSP II with the World Bank Loan Assistance.
  • 16 State Highways Corridors falling in the influence area of CKIC are proposed now from SOS II List
  • Capacity analysis made based on the traffic forecast for 2019 and lane requirements derived.
  • Specific improvement proposals based on deflection, unevenness, pavement condition and traffic
  • Total project cost consist of civil construction costs and design & supervision, contingency, land acquisition, mitigation and utility shifting charges.
  • `
Objectives of the Corridor

CKIC will build upon the existing initiatives of Government of Tamil Nadu (GoTN), under Tamil Nadu Vision 2023, to boost manufacturing and reinforce the Government of India’s Sagarmala port-led development. The key objectives of CKIC are:

  • Identification, planning and development of industrial nodes complemented by urban agglomerations; and
  • Development of integrated infrastructure and transport connectivity to enhance domestic and global competitiveness of the nodes and influence area.
  • Strengthen the resource based sectors
  • Increase the contribution of emerging high-tech and value added sectors
  • Strengthen the traditionally strong sectors (Auto and auto components, Textiles, Machinery and Petro-Chemical Industries, Metals and Minerals and Food products)

The Tamil Nadu Vision 2023 has proposed 6 industrial corridors that will facilitate the growth of industries in an equitable manner across all regions of the State. of the proposed corridors, 2 of the key corridors- Madurai-Thoothukudi (MTIC) and Chennai-Trichy (CTIC) fall under the influence area of the CKIC. The key objectives of the state level Madurai-Thoothukudi and Chennai-Trichy industrial corridors, and CKIC are aligned to promote balanced industrial development across Tamil Nadu

Key Outputs& Outcomes of CKIC

A Comprehensive Development Plan for the CKIC is under preparation by ADB. Based on different parameters, 6 industrial nodes across Tamil Nadu have been identified, namely: 1) Thoothukudi –Tirunelveli; 2) Madurai – Virudhunagar – Dindigul – Theni; 3) Ramanathapuram (NIMZ); 4) Tiruchirappalli – Pudukottai – Sivaganga; 5) Ariyalur – Perambalur; 6) Cuddalore – Nagapattinam (PCPIR).

The proposed road sector projects under the CKIC are proposed to be funded by GoTN, with financial assistance from Asian Development Bank (ADB). The proposed 15 road projects are at an advanced stage of readiness. Detailed Project Reports have already been completed under multilateral requirements, including environmental, social, and economic assessments. Further details are given in the PPR format prescribed by the Department of Economic Affairs (DEA), Government of India, attached to this document. The Government has accorded administrative sanction for an amount of Rs.6448.24 Crore (Rupees Six Thousand Four Hundred and forty Eight Crore and Twenty Four lakhs Only) for the roads/works under 7 packages adopting EPC mode with 7 years maintenance period after completion of works. The Cost of Land acquisition is Rs.1574 Crore. The cost of the land acquisition has to be borne by State Government, out of Rs.4384.84 Crore of civil works component, Rs.3288.15 Crore will be supported by Asian Development Bank Loan Assistant and remaining Rs.1096.69 Crore has to be borne by State Government This Preliminary Project Report (PPR) pertains to the investment proposal for road projects within the influence area of the CKIC, with the objective to improve industrial connectivity in the State of Tamil Nadu.
