Chapter 8: CASE STUDIES OF PPP FOR SUSTAINABLE HOUSING PROJECTS
8.1 General
The chapter deals with the case studies for Public Private Partnership and an attempt has been made
to understand the approach taken. The areas responsible for success of the venture have been
established. The financial arrangements and risk allocation strategies have been discussed. Finally
how the social and environmental issues have been addressed has been documented through the case
studies.
The Pimpri Chinchwad New Township Development Authority (PCNTDA), a key development
authority of the Pune Metropolitan Region, is responsible for the development of its peri-urban areas,
especially in its north. In line with the phenomenal growth of the region and its strident aspirations,
PCNTDA has envisioned the development of an integrated township at Sector 12 spanning 53
hectares. Given the success of the Public Private Partnership (PPP) model in involving private
participation for development, PCNDTA proposed to develop the integrated township on PPP basis.

PPP as an Option: PCNTDA understood that the plot had good real estate potential to attract interest
from private sector. Hence by providing certain incentives through a viable PPP model, private
players can be roped in for the project.
Moreover the development authority (in accordance with the city development plan) had the
obligation of providing social housing under the BSUP scheme for slum eradication. There are total
72 slum pockets in Pimpri Chinchwad city area, out of which 9 slums are located in Pimpri
Chinchwad New Township Development Authority (PCNTDA) area on the Authority’s lands. All the
9 slums are proposed to be tackled for rehabilitation. The scheme envisages integrated Slum
Rehabilitation and Redevelopment to ensure full and complete rehabilitation of slums with security of
tenure, proper housing and amenities. Moreover, after resettlement of slums, the slum areas will be
denotified and the same will be put to designated use commensurate with the Development Plan of
PCNTDA.
Therefore, PCNTDA is desirous of implementing a housing scheme under BSUP under the PPP
framework. The Authority has identified land admeasuring about 53 hectaresin Sector 12 of Bhosari.
On the said land about 5000 slum dwellers from slums identified and beneficiaries that remain
uncovered under the previous BSUP scheme will be provided housing.

PCNTDA (Pimpri Chinchwad New Town Development Authority) - Scope & Obligations:
Pimpri Chinchwad New Township Development Authority (PCNTDA) is one of the development
authorities of the Pune Metropolitan Region that is responsible for development of peri urban areas
towards the north of PMR. The PCNTDA was established in the year 1972 with a mandate to create
Pimpri Chinchwad New Town with well thought out goals and objectives. Towards this objective,
PCNTDA, since its inception, has been instrumental in developing urban housing and commercial
infrastructure for the rapidly growing population of the Pimpri Chinchwad city.
The PCNTDA was mandated by the Government of Maharashtra to develop about 43 sq kms to
house a population of about 5 lakh citizens. It has till date acquired and developed about 10.8 sq kms.
The area has been developed in sectors comprising of housing and commercial uses. The civic
amenities and urban infrastructure has been provided by the PCNTDA. The PCNTDA has been
actively perusing its goals of supporting urbanization of the peri urban areas and is now aspiring to
provide next generation urban amenities to its citizens.

Assessment of technical and financial capabilities
• Detailed presentation of bidders to Evaluation Committee on master plan
• Committee comprising of Divisional Commissioner (Pune Division), Collector (Pune ) and
Commissioner PCMC
• Selection of successful bidder on an objective bidding parameter: The bidding parameter for
the project was the constructed "Carpet Area" in "square meters" of affordable housing units
that the bidder shall construct and hand over free of cost to PCNTDA. The specifications of
the affordable housing units to be handed over to PCNTDA were specified in the bid
documents.
The tender received a good response from a number of interested bidders. These were Tata Motors,
Mahendra Estates, Panchsheel (Pune) , a consortium comprising Vijay Associates (Wadhwa), Goel

selected as the Successful Bidder i.e DB realty, Man Infrastructure and Ajwani Developers. The
Successful Bidder quoted a constructed Carpet Area of l ,30,599 square meters of affordable
housing units to be handed over to PCNTDA. Thereby, PCNTDA derived

8.2.4 Financial Sustainability: The financial sustainability of the model is analyzed on the basis of
financial structure of the model. The contributions towards project finances from PCNTDA and
Developer Consortium are documented. Sample cash flows are then made to check whether the

that all the financial support and incentives in the PPP models suggested earlier, shall be documented
in the sample cash flow and it shall be observed how the value of the revenue stream is increased,
while on the same hand the expenditures are reduced. (Refer to Table T8 - C)
8.2.5 Risk Identification, Allocation and Mitigation: A framework enlisting all the risks that may
affect the housing project has been drawn. The risk identification, allocation and risk mitigation
strategies as per the PCNTDA model have been discussed. The Risk framework has been divided
according to the phase of construction in the housing project. (Refer to Table T8 - D)

Approaches for PPP in Housing used:
The Commonwealth games village being developed in Delhi makes use of three suggested
approaches. These are:
1. Virtual Land Approach
2. Subsidy - Cross subsidy approach
3. Partnership Approach
1. Virtual Land Approach: The authority has been directed by the government to provide housing
stock for the players of the Commonwealth Games. The authority in the model has offered land at
prime location to attract interest of real estate developers to bid for the project. The features
synonymous to this housing approach present in the model are:
• Provision of Land by the public entity
• FSI provided is 2.0
Public private partnership for sustainable housing projects 139
Case studies of PPP for sustainable housing projects (SEMINAR ‐II)
2. Subsidy Cross-subsidy approach: The PPP model is a mix of cross subsidies provided by the
public entity to the developer in lieu of construction of prescribed units. The features synonymous to
this housing approach present in the model are:
• Provision of land by DDA
• Developer builds units and hands over 33% of them free of cost
• DDA buys part of the units to provide financial assistance to the Developer. DDA’s share
increases to 50%
• DDA assists in clearances and stamp duty exemptions
3. Partnership / Equity Sharing Approach: The format of partnership takes two forms:
• Join Development Format: Here land is the contribution of DDA as part of the
equity/partnership while the developer provides other resources.
• Joint venture Format: DDA contributes equity in the form of cash, whereas the private
player also pools in private resources. The pooled fund is then utilized by the Joint Venture
formed for project development marketing.

8.3.4 Financial Sustainability: The financial sustainability of the model is analyzed on the basis of
financial structure of the model. The contributions towards project finances from DDA and
Developer are documented. Sample cash flows are then made to check whether the inherent
incentives in the PPP model are beneficial to both or not.
Sample Cash Flow for Developer: An attempt has been made to generate spreadsheet that will
contain all the requisites of a cash flow statement minus the values for the PPP model. This means
that all the financial support and incentives in the PPP models suggested earlier, shall be documented
in the sample cash flow and it shall be observed how the value of the revenue stream is increased,
while on the same hand the expenditures are reduced. (Refer to Table T8 - E)
8.3.5 Risk Identification, Allocation and Mitigation: A framework enlisting all the risks that may
affect the housing project has been drawn. The risk identification, allocation and risk mitigation
strategies as per the PCNTDA model have been discussed. The Risk framework has been divided
according to the phase of construction in the housing project. (Refer to Table T8 - F)
