EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The “Statue of Unity” is a colossal and imposing statue of Indian statesman and Freedom

Fighter Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel (1875–1950) who was the first Home minister of

independent India and highly respected for his leadership in uniting the 562 princely states

of India to form the single Union of India without any armed conflict.

The statue is located in the state of Gujarat, India. It is the world's tallest statue with a

height of 182 metres. It is located on a river island facing the Sardar Sarovar Dam on

river Narmada in Kevadiya colony, 100 kilometres (62 miles) southeast of the city

of Vadodara.

The project was first announced in 2010 and the construction of statue started in October

2013 by Larsen & Toubro. It was inaugurated by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on

31 October 2018, the 143th anniversary of Patel's birth.

Government has decided to introduce ferry services around the statue site for the tourists

considering the huge footfall of tourists visiting the statue on a daily basis. In order to

commence the ferry services at the earliest, SSNNL has appointed SCI as Consultants for

selection of integrated operator for operation of passenger ferry services at Sardar Sarovar

Statue of Unity, Kevadia, Gujarat.

SCI team carried out inspection of site on 26th -27th April 2019 and interacted with the

SSNNL officials to assess feasibility of operation of proposed passenger ferry services.

Detailed analysis was carried out to arrive at the techno-commercial feasibility of the

proposed passenger ferry services. This inter-alia includes study on appropriate vessel

selection, its capacity, terminal improvements and fare analysis.

SCI evaluated the project site and undertook the detailed study of the existing

infrastructure and ongoing infrastructural activities such as construction of jetties at both

ends i.e., at Shrestha Bharat Bhavan, Statue of Unity site, Dredging works, construction of

new bridge. The construction of jetties at both ends is expected to be completed by

September 2019.

Based on the information received from the officials and operators, SCI has estimated the

capital and the operational cost for this service. Based on the capital and operational costs,

SCI has carried out feasibility study for a range of fares assuming the ridership of 3000

passengers every day. Primary objective of this project is for plying the passengers from

the Shreshta Bharah Bhawan to the Statue of Unity and vice versa; the other objectives

would be touring around the area, floatel, and other tourist attractions.

It may be noted that this project is built upon the information gathered from various

stakeholders, site visits, and discussions with operators, designers etc. and logical

assumptions have been considered where necessary.

Considering huge tourist footfall visiting the site on daily basis, this project of operating

passenger ferry service at proposed site has high revenue earning potential. Given the

assumptions made and analysis undertaken here, this study has demonstrated that a

passenger ferry service at proposed site would be feasible. The model is that the authority

would provide basic infrastructure i.e. jetty facilities for the operators and the operators

are expected to bring the vessels for plying and all costs involved in acquisition of vessels,

operating the vessels and all other ancillary activities. Authority is proposing to award the

contract to the highest quoted bidder(s).

CHAPTER-1: INTRODUCTION

1.1 Background

The Sardar Sarovar Narmada Nigam Limited (SSNNL) is a wholly owned Government of

Gujarat undertaking that is in charge of the Sardar Sarovar water resources project on the

river Narmada in South Gujarat. SSNNL was incorporated under the Indian Companies Act,

1956 in March 1988. The main objective of SSNNL is to execute the Sardar Sarovar

Narmada Project comprising the Dam, power houses, canal system and other works

incidental to / ancillary to the Sardar Sarovar Project. SSNNL has been tasked with

overseeing the implementation of the Statue of Unity project.

Statue of Unity has been unveiled on 31st October 2018 (the birth anniversary of Sardar

Patel) dedicated to the Iron man of India, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel (1875–1950), who was

the first Home minister of independent India and the chief adherent of Mahatma Gandhi

during the non-violent Indian Independence movement; highly respected for his leadership

in uniting the 562 princely states of India to form the single Union of India without any

armed conflict. The 182-meter-tall Statue of Unity has many things for tourists to engage in.

Apart from a luxury nature retreat and museum, it also has an audio-visual gallery, selfie

points for social media enthusiasts, light and sound shows, and guided tours to the scenic

valley of flowers. The Statue of Unity has a complete package for tourists.

One of the main attractions at the site, however, is its 153-meter-high viewers’ gallery,

which is located inside the statue. It can accommodate 200 persons at a time and can be

reached by two high-speed elevators. The gallery offers a stunning view of the surrounding

areas.

Located in a picturesque surrounding, where on the south side, tourists can see lofty hills of

the Satpura range and in the south side, they can see the mighty Vindhyachal hills and a

serene Narmada river streams between the two ranges, which gives them a perfect view of

the area with the Statue in the center of it all.

3.5 DREDGING FOR MAKING NAVIGATION CHANNEL

Narmada River is flowing between two ranges of mountains named Satpura and

Vindhyachal. Because of this the entire river bed contains rocky terrain. To facilitate

smooth navigation, the bedrock needs to be removed. For this purpose, work of navigation

channel (dredging of rock) is in progress.

Garudeshwar weir is located at 12 KM downstream of Sardar Sarovar Dam (SSD). The river

water stored by Garudeshwar weir is recirculated for power generation. During non-peak

power demand hour, the water in the river will be pumped back to dam and during peak

power demand hour, water will be released from dam for power generation. As a

consequence the river water level keeps varying.

After completion of the Garudeshwar weir, due to operation of River Bed Power House

(RBPH) in generation and pumping mode sequentially, water level in the Garudeshwar

Pond will fluctuate between EL 31.75 m and 26.71 m. Considering this minimum bottom

Sardar Sarovar Statue of Unity site, Kevadia, Gujarat, India

25

level of the channel of 60.0 m width at EL 24.00 m and trench will be formed wherever

required keeping side slope as 1:8. It is learnt that after completing the survey, rock

dredging is required only at M&VC and SBB on banks where jetties are to be constructed.

This navigation channel is approximately 6-7 kms in length. Vertical channel section /

floaters will be used instead, for demarcation of channel.

Excavation of rocky terrain at river bed near statue of unity is progress in full swing. About

15-20 excavators and JCBs including trucks have been employed to excavate the rocks and

shift the same using JCBs and trucks. It was informed that the river bed 24.5 M from MSL

will be the datum and the water level across navigation channel will be maintained 2.5 M

for safe navigation. The water level in the channel will keep fluctuating between 26.5 M and

31.75 M however minimum water level of 26.5 M will be maintained ensuring water depth

of 2.5 M always for safe navigation of intended passenger ferries. Most of excavation is

required at SoU /M&VC and SSB on banks where jetties are to be constructed (90% and

10% respectively). Of 2.5 Lakh m3 of total estimated excavation about 1 Lakh m3 has been

achieved till 25th April 2019.

Navigation channel area map is as follows:

CHAPTER-6: PURPOSE OF THIS PROJECT

6.1. PURPOSE

Huge number of tourists (about 10,000 people) are visiting the site on daily basis and the

demand to visit the statue is only met with the shuttle bus service. By introducing

passenger ferry service between SBB & Statue of Unity, it would not only cater to tourist

demand but also tourists will enjoy the view of the Statue of Unity from water. This will

further enhance eco-tourism and regional development.

6.2 PROJECT BENIFITS

The proposed project has benefits for SSNNL and the State of Gujarat as listed below:

• This project will give further boost the tourism and generate revenue.

• The proposed project is expected to generate employment to people

• This proposal would generate funds for SSNNL, the Govt. of Gujarat in terms of lease rent

or the like, and lead to productive use of available space

• Inland water transport is generally considered to be a cost-effective, relatively fuel-

efficient, environmentally-friendly and employment-generating mode of transport.

General infrastructure of the area would be enhancing and thus would result in the social

uplift of the local inhabitants.

CHAPTER 7- NUMBER OF VESSELS AND SCHEDULING

The number of trips and number of boats will depend on the capacity of passenger boat

offered by the operator. The higher the passenger capacity, lower will be the number of

boats required to meet the passenger demand.

It is proposed to operate these services only six days a week leaving a day for routine

maintenance & repair. Total number of operating days in a year will be 312. The operator

will have to provide two stand-by boats of same capacity to ensure availability of boats as

per schedule all the time.

In addition to above one no. enclosed rescue boat of 20 passengers’ capacity to meet any

eventuality will have to be provided by the operator. This boat may also be used for

ferrying VVIPs occasionally.

A typical scheduling plan for 65 Pax boat with 7 round trips is as follows:

Trip 1 Going Trip 1 Return Trip 2 Going Trip 2 Return

CHAPTER 8- COMMERCIAL FEASIBILITY STUDY

8.1 INTRODUCTION

To carry out commercial feasibility study for the project and to propose ticket fare

per passenger, various scenarios with different passenger capacity vessels, fare structure

and number of trips are projected in this chapter.

The capital cost of acquisition of each vessel/ferry/boat is expected to be as follows:

50 Pax Ferry

65 Pax Ferry

75 Pax Ferry

100 Pax Ferry

Cost of a Vessel/Boat (INR)

2.75~3.00 Crore

3.00~3.25 Crore

3.20~3.35 Crore

4.00~4.25 Crore

The above costs are based on discussions with the shipyards, designers and

operators; and are subject to change as per the exact specifications of the boat offered.

Cost of existing and proposed infrastructure is not considered in the report. Same

are being facilitated/provided by SSNNL and the compensation by the proposed operators

would be in the form of “Share of Revenue” to SSNNL.

8.2 METHODOLOGY & ASSUMPTIONS:

The Equity IRR calculations have been done for various scenarios assuming

operator will avail 70% of the project cost through bank loan and 30% as equity/own

contribution.

Project IRR and Equity IRR have been calculated taking into account operating

period/concession period of 10 years. Residual value of the asset is projected at 5% of the

capital cost at the end of 10th year of operation.

Direct operating expenses, Indirect operating expenses, administrative cost have

been assumed on the basis of preliminary market information as obtained from the vessel

operators; it may vary depending on the operational efficiency, optimization, business

model and other factors.

The operator is expected to earn income from other sources (non-operational) viz.,

Advertisement rights on boats, on-board merchandise, etc., which is not considered while

evaluating the financial viability.

The operator is expected to share the gross revenue to the Authority as per the

contract to be executed between SSNNL and the successful bidder. This will depend on the

IRR margins, business model and the concept plan of the respective operators. Same is not

also not proposed or projected in the financial evaluation.

It may be seen from the above analysis that any increase in the passenger capacity

of the boat, the fare would be reduced. For example, for a 100 Pax boat the per passenger

fare can be in the range of Rs.270 to Rs.290; For 75 Pax boat the per passenger fare can be

in the range of Rs.275 to Rs.300; for 65 Pax boat fare can be in the range of Rs.325 to

Rs.350; and for 50 Pax boat the per passenger fare can be in the range of Rs.350 to Rs.375.

CHAPTER-9: CONCLUSION

From the detailed analyses and feasibility study, it is concluded that the operation of ferry

service for the proposed transportation route i.e. from SBB to Statue of Unity will be

commercially viable with reasonable return on investment to the operator. The larger

capacity boats i.e. in the range of 75-100 Pax require less number of trips compared to

smaller boats of capacity 50 – 65 Pax.

The ticket fare is required to be fixed in the range of 270-375 and will depend on the size of

the boat. For larger capacity boat i.e. 75-100 Pax the fare can be fixed in the band of 270-

300 while for 50-65 Pax boats fare may be fixed between Rs. 325 & Rs.375. Further, the

operator is also expected to generate non-operational income like advertisement rights on

boats and ancillary activities.

The revenue sharing model is proposed to be as a share of gross receipts (net of

taxes/levies) by the operator to the Authority.
