BASELINE REPORT
Enabling Strategic Plan: Master Plan for Delhi 2041
This chapter elaborates on the baseline preparation of the baseline preparation for the Physical
infrastructure sector. The physical infrastructure addresses seven sub-sectors:
Water
Sewerage and Drainage
Solid Waste
Power
Gas
Telecommunication/IT
Disaster Management
The baseline for the physical infrastructure sector sought to answer a number of crucial questions that will
inform the overall strategy for the physical infrastructure in Delhi for the planning horizon (2021-2041).
Following are the key questions under each sub-sector that were targeted during the baseline preparation:
1. Water
a. What is the per capita water supplied to the citizens? How does this vary spatially?
b. What is the spatial disaggregated status of piped water supply?
c. How is water supplied in areas that are not covered by piped water supply?
d. What are the sources of water? Can these sources be relied on for sustainable supply until 2041?
2. Sewerage and Drainage
a. Is the existing wastewater infrastructure adequate to manage the current and expected loading?
b. What is the status of wastewater reuse in the city? Where is it used? How much is used?
c. Is the current drainage network addressing the flooding risk satisfactorily? If not, what are the
shortcomings?
d. Which are the areas that are prone to flooding consistently?
e. Is climate change likely to aggravate the flooding risk in Delhi? If so, how robust is the drainage
network to handle risk?
3. Solid Waste
a. Are there adequate facilities to manage the current and expected solid waste in the city?
b. Do present policies/DCRs support efforts towards sustainable waste management?
4. Power
a. Do the citizens have access to reliable and uninterrupted power supply?
b. How robust is the current power infrastructure in meeting the current and future power
demand?
c. What is the share of renewable energy in power supply? Where is it generated? Where is it used?
5. Telecommunication
a. What is the existing status with respect to telecommunication infrastructure?
b. What are the major technological changes happening and how will it impact the provisioning of
physical infrastructure?
6. Gas
a. What is the extent of coverage with respect to gas infrastructure in Delhi?
b. What are the existing challenges with respect to gas infrastructure in Delhi?
7. Disaster and Risk Management
a. What are the type of disasters that Delhi is vulnerable to?
b. What is the level of vulnerability Delhi faces?
c. What are the existing institutions and mechanisms in place to mitigate risks and disasters in
Delhi?

Two avenues were employed in order to carry out the baselining exercise.
1. Data collection: An exhaustive data collection exercise was undertaken to quantify the baseline.
In addition to referring to website and published report, a Baselining Expert Group (BG)
comprising of senior officers from physical infrastructure government agencies in Delhi was also
formed. The BG members helped facilitate data access from their respective agencies and
provided strategic advice for the baselining activity. Dr. Shyamala Mani (former professor-NIUA),
Mr. Radheshyam Tyagi (former member-WS, DJB), and Mr. Pankaj Batra (former-Chairperson
(I/c) & member -Planning, Central Electricity Authority) were engaged as the Sector Advisors to
provide expert and technical guidance for the preparation of the baseline.
2. Interaction with Subject Experts: There are number of national and international experts who
have worked extensively on different aspects of the physical infrastructure. Efforts were made
to engage with some of these experts to enhance the quality of the baseline preparation.
‘Annexure 1’ has the details of the methodology adopted for the baseline preparation.

3. For the solid waste management sector, technological interventions are required for
treatment, dry waste recycling, material recovery, composting, and biomethanation.

Management Rules 2016, E-Waste Rules 2016, Bio-medical Waste Management Rules
2016, and Hazardous and Other Wastes (Management and Transboundary Movement)
Rules, 2016. There are also CPCB guidelines, CPHEEO manuals and several advisories and
guidelines that describe how the various streams of waste are to be segregated at

standards for safety also need to be mentioned.
• For renewable energy, in addition to the norms mentioned in MPD-2021, there are also
guidelines issued by CEA for rooftop Photo Voltaic plants and electric vehicle charging
stations and energy storage that could complement.
• In all future Housing development projects, DDA must adopt dual pipeline system for
using treated effluent in non-drinking needs.

infrastructure. However, the scenarios of mixed land use will have to be investigated in
context of other elements of the Master Plan as well.

DJB is mandated to serve water to both planned and unplanned areas, and therefore, currently
provides piped water to 1337 unauthorized/regularized colonies. However, 129 additional
colonies will be notified for piped supply by the end of this year. Ground water, which was a major
source of water in the past, is no longer seen as a viable source. This is because of the
indiscriminate trend and nature of abstraction. Annexure 2 presents the status of the depth to
the groundwater across Delhi for both pre- and post-monsoons. It can be gleaned that for most
part of Delhi (especially the South) the depth of groundwater is in excess of 10 m, indicating the
severity of the problem. For other areas in the North, the depth varies from 2 to 10 meters.

Water is received from the Yamuna River & Bhakra Nangal Dam through Delhi branch of Western
Yamuna Canal and directed to seven WTPs (Wazirabad, Chandrawal, Haiderpur, Nangloi, Bawana,
Dwarka & Okhla). The water from River Ganga is supplied through Ganga Canal to the Bhagirathi
& Sonia Vihar water treatment plants. Ranney wells are installed in Yamuna Flood Plains and
tubewells in the colonies. Figure 2 presents details about the trend of capacity development4 of
the WTPs.
Water from the 11 WTPs/ground water sources (Annexure 3) is stored in Under Ground Reservoirs
(UGRs) before it is put into the distribution system. Delhi has 112 UGRs, each having a
corresponding command area. Water from the UGRs is then supplied to Source: JICA (2011) through

Non-revenue Water (NRW) in Delhi has two components6—Physical water losses; and unbilled
authorized consumption. Table 5 provides more details of these components. As per the DJB (JICA
2011), the NRW in Delhi is 47%. Given that the pipe network is medium aged (75% of the network
has been installed after the year 2000), unbilled authorized consumption forms a significant
portion of the NRW in addition to illegal connections. This view is corroborated by the fact that
here are 22.45 Lakh connections at present including bulk consumers. However, out of these, only
14.62 lakh (63%) connections have working meters.

The solid waste management efficiency can be further improved with a better plan to handle the
bio-degradable waste at ULB level. The MCDs as shown in Map 10 have very poor waste to

SDMC installed a total capacity of 9.255 MW of solar roof during the year 2018-19. The net meter
was installed on 152 buildings and total energy generated is 26, 36,888 electrical units. Another
major shift towards renewable energy is attributed to DMRC’s use of solar energy in their
operations of rolling stock. 60% of DMRC’s day time demand is met by solar energy bought from
Rewa in Madhya Pradesh. This will help DMRC not only reduce its dependence on coal, but also
save Rs. 793 crore on its energy bill over the next 25 years. 24% of the solar energy generated at
the 1,590 acre Rewa solar park is bought by DMRC. DJB also generates a total of 64,580 KWH

3.5 Telecommunication
The telecom industry has truly played an instrumental role in shaping the way exchange of
goods and provision of urban services take place in our cities. Ushering in what many call the
4th Industrial Revolution. The wide spread of ICTs and internet usage has notably driven
majority of the disruptions such as Amazon/ Flipkart, UBER/ OLA, Air BNB/ OYO, Swiggy/
Zomato, Netflix/ Amazon Prime etc. 5G is expected to extend beyond the traditional voice
and data services. 5G network offers increased reliability, lower latency, higher throughput,
increased connection density which would enable massive commercial deployments of
technologies such as IoT, AI, RPA, AR/ VR.
3.5.1 Existing National Level Policy Frameworks
Telecommunication is a central subject, therefore governing policies for the sector are
prepared at the central level. Two important enabling national policies that will speed up
the digitalisation movement in India are:

The Disaster Management Act, 2005 stipulates preparation of state and district disaster
management plans aimed at reducing disaster risks as well as ensuring strong preparedness,
response, and rehabilitation measures for coping with disasters. The State Disaster Management
Plan of Delhi named as ‘Delhi Disaster Management Plan’ (DDMP) is prepared as per the guidelines
issued by the National Disaster Management Authority and duly approved by Delhi Disaster
Management Authority, chaired by Hon’ble Lt. Governor of Delhi.
3.7.1 Earthquakes
According to the seismic zone map of India, Delhi is located in Zone-4 which has fairly high seismicity
where the general occurrence of earthquakes is 5-6 magnitude, a few of magnitude 6-7 and
occasionally of 7-8 magnitude is anticipated further. Delhi sits on 3 fault lines namely Sohna fault
line, Mathura fault line and Delhi-Moradabad fault line.
The potential seismic hazard in Delhi is attributed to the Himalayan thrust system and activation of
fault systems of the Delhi Fold Belt (DFB). Delhi is located in the Delhi Fold Belt characterised by
folded sequences of quartzite with minor meta-pellites, with distinct folding episodes of the
Proterozoic period. The DFB is bounded by two important strike-slip faults namely the
Mehendragarh-Dehradun Subsurface Fault (MDSSF) and the Great Boundary Fault (GBF). Another
important structural element of the belt is the NW-SE trending Delhi-Sargodha Range (DSR) which
passes through Delhi and is flanked by basins on either side, viz, the Sahaspur in the north and the
Bikaner basin in the southwest; refer Map 16.
Majority of the building stock in Delhi is characterised by buildings which are unsafe due to rampant
unauthorised constructions and non-compliance with building byelaws; refer Table 13 for details
regarding areas in Delhi and their level of vulnerability to earthquakes.

3.7.2 Fire
According to Delhi Fire Service statistics, Delhi had more than 75,000 fire incidents during the last
five years resulting in more than 1825 deaths, injuries to more than 7,600 persons and loss of
property valuing more than Rs. 176 crores. These incidents include five major, twenty-five serious
and ninety-nine medium fires; refer Map 17 for mapping of areas prone to fire incidents, refer
Table 14 for further details of areas which are prone to fire incidents . During the last 5 years, Delhi
has also witnessed an 49% increase in the number of fire incidents in JJ colonies. The increased risk
due to fire based disasters in Delhi can be attributed to;
Electric Short-Circuiting: 70% of cases due to fire breakouts are estimated to arise from
Electrical causes (mainly short- circuiting). In Special Areas old Havelis have been converted
into production centres and godowns which has led to increased loads on electricity supply.
Gas leakages: Fires due to LPG cylinder leakages causing fire explosion, this is even more
dangerous in dense and congested areas as there can be more causalities.
Non-compliance with building bye-laws: Lack of fire safety norms in industrial areas
especially for units handling highly inflammable material like paper, plastic granules,
chemicals, etc. These industrial areas also lack fire alarm systems. Many industrial units have
also come up in residential areas with minimum compliance to building regulations (fire
escapes etc).
Congested-settlements: UACs, JJ Colonies, Special Areas, Urban villages are characterised by
congested and narrow lanes that makes it difficult for adequate fire response.

3.7.3 Flooding
The river Yamuna crossed its danger level (fixed at 204.83m above sea level) 26 times during the last
35 years. The level of most of the drains is 4.46 metres lower than the average flood level during the
monsoons. Thus, most drains are vulnerable to reverse flows, causing floods in areas that are away
from direct proximity of the Yamuna. Also during the monsoon season, drains are prone to clogging
due to improper waste management and irregular desilting of drains; refer Map 18 below showing
water logging locations in Delhi.

4.1.3 Pilot Project for Improving the Efficiency of Water Distribution Network
Under Malviya Nagar UGR Command Area:
Under a special purpose vehicle, a PPP project was launched in Malviya nagar command area
to improve water distribution, reduce risks of contamination and water losses. This project
managed by Malviya Nagar Water Services (MNWS), a public-private partnership between
Delhi Jal Board and SUEZ, a global leading water and waste resource management company,
several initiatives were taken to improve quality of services offered to customers.
The project also seeks to improve efficiency of the water network under Malviya Nagar UGR
command area, which has five Assembly constituencies under it namely: Malviya Nagar,
Greater Kailash, Ambedkar Nagar, Chhatarpur and Mehrauli. This facility is spread over 14
sq km with a network of 219 km covering 3.82 lakh people. The total number of metered
connections in the area is 43,087 and the area is divided under nine District Metering Areas
(DMAs). The project has benefited the area by increasing the coverage area and more
importantly the revenue generated.
This project has scientific monitoring system SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data
Acquisition) of the center from where it controls the entire system. The centre monitors flow,
level, pressure, water quality, residual chlorine, conductivity and turbidity through the
system. The system is equipped with alarm annunciator to keep the parameters within limits.

8 Solar Policy 2016 The Policy has ten broad objectives (succinct version):
1. Reduce Delhi’s reliance on conventional energy. Promote
rapid growth of rooftop solar power.
2. Encourage market-based approaches and public-private
partnerships to drive demand and adoption
3. Ensure fairness for all stakeholders in the solar ecosystem.
4. Use regulatory mechanisms to drive demand and adoption,
5. Promote net metering / gross metering and grid
connectivity for all solar plants
6. Generate employment in the solar energy sector through
skill development especially for youth.
7. Provide generation-based incentives for the domestic
segment
8. Promote a robust investment climate that enables multiple
financial models, from self-owned (CAPEX) to third-party
owned (RESCO) models.
9. Establish policy implementation, monitoring and
compliance framework to make sure that efficient
execution and periodic review of the policy takes place.
10. Develop solar energy as part of an overall strategy of
providing affordable, reliable, 24X7 Power to all citizens.

1. Water management:
The groundwater in Delhi is severely stressed. As seen in Map 19, most part of Delhi is already
over exploited. These include the South, South East, New Delhi, East, Shahdara, and North East
districts. Only the West and Central districts are safe. Interestingly, in the areas that are over-
exploited also have the maximum green cover. For example, the Southern Ridge lies completely
in the South District. This leads to the inference that the groundwater situation in the critical
areas can be attributed to a number of reasons:
o Private abstraction of groundwater within these areas given that official abstraction of
groundwater has been disallowed in this area since 2010.
o The critical areas are situated at higher elevations, and the gradient gradually reduces
towards the Yamuna River. This would mean that overland flow during the monsoon flows
at faster rate towards the Yamuna, affecting the recharge rate.
o Over-abstraction in the neighboring states of Haryana (Faridabad, Gurgaon) and UP (Noida)

Enabling Strategic Plan: Master Plan for Delhi 2041
A holistic groundwater management plan will need to take cognizance of the development in
these cities as well.
The presence of a good green cover in the over-exploited areas offers a unique opportunity for
groundwater recharge. Given that green areas are natural sponges to facilitate the percolation
of run-off, there is only a need to ensure that the overland flow during monsoon is captured in
these areas and not allowed leave the area untapped (e.g. through the creation of sinks).
2. Flood management:
As seen in Map 21, there are number of flooding hotspots in Delhi that have been identified by
the Public Works Department. This is relatively recent data (2018). Map 20 also shows the
flooding hotspots identified by the Delhi Traffic Police, which were identified during the
preparation of the Drainage Master Plan (2017). There is not much difference between the two
maps, which suggests that the hotspots have not changed much over the years. These are,
therefore, areas of persistent concern. In a number of developed countries (e.g. Denmark,
Netherlands) parks and gardens are used as temporary detention areas to mitigate the flood risk.
There a number of parks (marked as planned greens in the Map), that could be leveraged on in
order to address the flooding risk. This option could be explored after ensuring that blocked
drains do not cause the flooding.

Two avenues were employed in order to carry out the baselining exercise.
a) Data collection:
The physical infrastructure sector was divided into three categories: Water; Solid, Liquid Waste
and Drainage(SLWD); and Power. Baselining groups for each category were set up comprising of
senior officers from related government agencies in Delhi. Details of the composition of the
groups are presented in Table A1. The BG primarily supported the planning team in getting access
to data and information from their departments. The group also provided insights into the
implementation of the previous Master Plan (MPD-2021), particularly in terms of challenges faced
which would have to be addressed by MPD 2041. The BG groups met on four occasions during the
course of the baseline preparation as tabulated below.
Dr. Shyamala Mani (Solid, Liquid Waste and Drainage), Mr. Radheshyam Tyagi (Water; Solid Liquid
Waste and Drainage), and Mr. Pankaj Batra (Power) were engaged as the Sector Advisors to
provide expert and technical guidance for the preparation of the baseline.

Description : The meeting was held to have concerted discussions with Delhi Jal Board
officials for understanding the water supply and demand scenario in Delhi. Specifically the
discussions focused on the following topics―Delhi Water Policy; future scenarios of water
demand and availability; use of treated affluent to augment water supply; and water provision
for the land pooling areas.
Topic : Solid waste management in SDMC area and the impact of Okhla landfill site
on the residents
Date : 28 June 2019
Modality : Expert presentation and discussion
Expert : Dr. Bini Samal, Project Manager, WaterAid
Description : Dr. Samal discussed the current scenario of waste management in SDMC
area based on a study she carried out as part of her PhD dissertation. She elaborated upon
the issues caused by Okhla landfill site in the neighbouring residential societies. The Okhla
landfill site majorly receives un-segregated waste, which neither can be sent for composting
nor be recycled. The landfill site has already reached peak capacity but is still being used by
SDMC. The landfill site also has an impact on ground water quality of this particular area. The
presentation highlighted the critical health hazards due to the contaminated water in SDMC
area and medical issues observed in recent past. The conclusion of the presentation was that
this landfill site should be closed immediately and capped by proper landscaping.
