‘PLANNING’ more important than ‘PLAN’ Initial cost estimate = INR 98.45 Cr. (Plan)
Included cost of civil works of corridor only Cost ‘EXTRAs’ not planned for
Land acquisition Utility laying / shifting Relocation of religious structures Stations Buses ITS (AVLS + AFCS + Signalling)
EXTRA Costs amounting to INR 300 Cr.
Lack of Strategic Partnerships Initially Delhi BRT design model followed for Indore However, Delhi BRT turned unsuccessful Ahmedabad BRT introduced – proved huge success Decision to change Indore BRT design to
Ahmedabad BRT design model Corridor construction was underway Design change involved re-configuring of utility
ducts Further additions to cost and timelines Partnerships with BRT experts at the outset would
have avoided such time and money losses
Technical Expertise Limited capacity at AICTSL Adequate technical expertise not
available with government to provide assistance / guidance to AICTSL
External consultation came with a price-tag
Project Publicity Lot of negative publicity received from press
and media BRTS blamed for ‘any’ and ‘every’ traffic
incident along BRT corridor by media and experts
National-level committees throw negative light on Indore project No consultation with AICTSL / IMC
Limited awareness among people and media presents great challenges for BRTS
Partnership Partnership with EMBARQ India
bridged the knowledge gap for the BRT project
BRT’s Impact on Urbanisation in Indore New Malls, Hotels, Hospitals, Corporate
Offices etc. have developed since project inception
Premium on FAR in commercial buildings presents significant funding generation

Lack of external funding support Funding commitments from government
sources not received Funding from World Bank for ITS project
available, but not flexible to suit the changes over time
AICTSL had no other streams of revenue to fund excesses
DELAYED
Innovations in alternate funding generation All land acquisition done using Transfer
of Develop Rights (TDR) model Savings to the tune of INR 250-300 Cr.
Advertisement rights along entire corridor transferred to AICTSL from IMC
Proposed share of Urban Transport Fund (UTF) tax being introduced in Indore
Proposed share of Land Value Capture Increased FAR – new building permissions Sale/purchase of property
