| Summary: | This report presents the main results
from cost models that were developed as an input to the High
Powered Expert Committee on Urban Development in order to
estimate the investment, operations, and maintenance
requirements for urban water, sanitation and municipal solid
waste in India. The cost models are designed as tools that
allow linking the various building blocks of the cost
estimation to one another, and tests the impact of the main
model assumptions on the overall investment requirements. A
cross-country comparison is also conducted to benchmark the
key service standards adopted in the models against
international experience. The report addresses the
challenge of India's fast growing urban population and
the high backlog in urban service delivery. Infrastructure
deficits in urban areas are large and growing. Universal
water access for urban population in India has yet to be
realized. The report uses the cost models to discuss
India's municipal financing needs, urban water supply
services, urban sewerage services, municipal solid waste,
and investment needs. |
