This paper details the Smart City opportunity in terms of the total CAPEX vis-à-vis ICT CAPEX and percentage of
ICT CAPEX in Total CAPEX basis the smart city proposals submitted by 20 cities.
Smart is a relevant word and has an altogether
different interpretation when it comes to the Indian
context. The recent proposals of 20 Smart Cities
predominantly captures the creation of basic civil infra,
security, transport, connectivity and e-governance
services, which has nevertheless brought a lot of
alacrity and excitement among the people. It is a huge
opportunity for the enterprises as well.
The Total CAPEX allocated to Smart cities is
~Rs 50,000 crore of which ~78% is allocated
for area-based solution and ~22% is for pan
city based solutions.
To elaborate further the total budget of every
Smart City is broken into 2 parts – pan city &
area based. Here area-based proposal can be for
Retrofit area (Min 500 acres), Redevelopment
area (Min 50 acres) and Greenfield area (Min
250 acres) and pan city is the proposal to be
submitted for the entire city.
Citizens of every city have been consulted
before preparing the proposal, and basis the
cities’ requirements, solutions have been
proposed.
Out of the ~Rs 50,000 crore budget that has
been allocated for the 20 cities, the ICT pie
which Sterlite can target is 15% of total
CAPEX, i.e. ~Rs 7,000 crore. There are a
variety of solutions proposed by different
cities and for ICT alignments, this paper taps
the top cities based on ICT CAPEX which
Sterlite can align from future business
perspective. This paper also details the scope
of work for each city.
For most of the cities, their ICT budget is
100% of the pan city capex, making them
very lucrative for a player like Sterlite to
participate in the RFP.
Top 10 cities scope has been elaborated in
terms of area-based, pan-city and total
CAPEX, area-based, pan city and total ICT
CAPEX and break-up of solution-wise total
ICT budget. Below are the top 10 cities
arranged as per their ICT Budgets to enable
quick picks as ICT targets:
