PROJECT INFORMATION MEMORANDUM

INTRODUCTION

Background
Namami Gange is a flagship Programme of Government of India launched in 2014 to accomplish the
twin objectives of effective abatement of pollution, conservation and rejuvenation of River Ganga. The
Programme is being carried out in five states of the country - Uttarakhand, Bihar, Uttar Pradesh,
Jharkhand and West Bengal by the National Mission for Clean Ganga (NMCG). An outlay of INR
20,000 crore was approved for the Clean Ganga Mission by the Centre in 2014.

To facilitate its mission in Bihar, NMCG has sanctioned the construction of two STPs along with the
Sewerage Network to treat the sewage received from Digha and Kankarbagh sewerage zones of Patna
District.

The proposed project is to be funded by the World Bank under the National Ganga River Basin Project
(NGRBP), and will be implemented and monitored by the Bihar Urban Development Infrastructure
Development Corporation Ltd (BUIDCO).

Project Overview
Need for new infrastructure to treat the wastewater generated in Patna

Patna is the capital city of the Indian state of Bihar, with a population of 25,14,590 ( Urban population
as per 2011 Census) making it the second largest city of Eastern India. Situated on the banks of River
Ganga, the Patna Municipal Corporation covers an area of approximately 99.45 sq km. The strategic
location of the city has made it an important urban centre in the eastern region leading to rapid
urbanization in the last few decades. This unprecedented growth has put tremendous pressure on the
existing infrastructure including city’s water supply, sewerage and drainage sectors.

The city has only 20% of physical coverage of the underground sewer network, with minimal records
on the details and number of households connected to the sewers. The rest of the city, (~80% area) is
dependent on an open drain network, which collects both sewage and drainage. The sewage thus
collected, is then conveyed through the natural drains to river Ganga or river Pun Pun, thereby resulting
in excessive pollution. To facilitate the national mission for a Clean Ganga and, to create a sustainable
and healthy environment, the Government of India along with the Government of Bihar and the Patna
Municipal Corporation is making continuous efforts to improve the current sewerage infrastructure.

Efforts for improving the Sewerage system of the Patna city

The Patna Municipal Corporation has divided the city into six sewerage zones namely,
(1) Zone I – Digha (4) Zone IV – Kankarbagh
(2) Zone II – Beur (5) Zone IV South and Zone V – Pahari
(3) Zone III and Zone IV North – Saidpur (6) Zone VI – Karmalichak
with clear demarcation of boundaries within the adjacent zone, as shown in the diagram below.

Figure 1: Sewerage Zones of Patna District

In an effort to divert the untreated waste water from discharging into the river, six Interception and
Diversion (I&D) works along with Intermediate Pumping Stations have been constructed. These collect
wastewater from the open drains and divert them to the existing STPs of the city. In total, there are four
STPs that are operational in Beur, Saidpur, Pahari and Karmalichak zones of Patna. Additionally, to
improve the sewage collection system and enhance scale of treatment, underground sewer network and
new STPs are being constructed in these four zones of the district, through central and state government
schemes. The table below depicts the reach and extent of the existing sewerage infrastructure in brief.

Name of the Zone Sewerage Infrastructure details

(existing + under construction)
Zone I : Digha No Network and No STP
Zone II : Beur ~187km Network and 58 MLD STP
Zone III and Zone IV North: Saidpur ~183km Network and 45 MLD STP
Zone IV: Kankarbagh No Network and No STP
Zone V and Zone IV South : Pahari ~228km Network and 60MLD STP
Zone VI: Karmalichak ~108km Network and 41MLD STP

It is evident from the table, that there is a pressing need for developing STPs in the remaining zones of
the district, namely Digha and Kankarbagh along with a well-connected underground sewer network.

Two Patna STPs of 100 MLD and 50 MLD to be developed at Digha and Kankarbagh to ensure
treatment of sewage from these zones

To enable proper collection, conveyance and treatment of the sewerage from Digha and Kankarbagh
Zone, the following project has been proposed under the “Namami Gange Programme”.
 Sewage Treatment Plant (100 MLD) and Sewerage Network (303 km) in Digha, Patna
 Sewage Treatment Plant (50 MLD) and Sewerage Network (150 km) in Kankarbagh, Patna

The STPs in both Digha and Kankarbagh will be developed in a Hybrid Annuity Model, while the
construction of the Sewerage Network shall be in the Design, Build, Operate and Transfer (DBOT)
Model. The proposed project includes the construction of 4 key components – (i) Digha STP including

Demographic details of the Sewerage Zones

Digha Sewerage Zone

Digha zone (Zone I) is located on the western part of the Patna City. This zone is bounded on the north
by River Ganga, on the West by the Patna – Son Canal, on the East by the Saidpur zone and Beur zone
in the South. This zone consists of ward numbers 1 to 9 and 20 to 26 & 28 (partly – 50%), with 3215.12
Hectares of area of total PMC area. Total population of this zone per census 2011 data is 4,51,002.

There is no existing sewage treatment facility for this zone. The new STP of 100 MLD is proposed to
be located at northern part of Digha zone near the bank of River Ganga.

The area is characterized by the presence of large number of prominent administrative offices,
government buildings, and educational institutes of repute. The Chief Minister’s Secreteriat, Raj
Bhawan, Indira Gandhi Institute of Medical Sciences, BIT Patna campus, IIT Patna, ICAR research
complex for eastern region, Patna High court are some prominent landmarks.

Digha being an highly administrative and dense populated area of Patna city, needs a special attention
during design and construction. Digha Project area consist of Patliputra Railway Junction area,
Anandpuri, Nehru Nagar, Indira Nagar, Rajapur, Gandhi Nagar, Mandiri Area, Raj Bhawan Area,
Income Tax road area, Ashiyana Nagar, Balapur, Rajbansi Nagar, Sheikpura, Indrapuri, Vyasnagar,
A.G Colony, Rajeev Nagar, Shastri Nagar, Patel Nagar, Mahesh Nagar, A. N College Area, Boring
Road, Patel Nagar, Airport Area.

The scope of sewerage network also includes planning, designing, construction and operation &
maintenance of sewerage network for additional area of 2 km2 in Patliputra Colony and surrounding

Zone of Digha flows through Kurji Nalla and remaining raw sewage flows through Rajapur-Anandipur
Nalla and Mandiri Nalla.

It is proposed to utilize the raw sewage flows from the above mentioned nallas and divert to the new
sewage treatment plant at Digha. The intention is to commission sewage treatment plant utilizing the
raw sewage flowing into River Ganga, until the household connections to the new Sewerage Network
are well-developed. In future, it is expected that the raw sewage will get diverted into the underground
sewage collection system, once Sewerage Network and house connections are fully developed. It is also
expected that the flow through various nallas will be limited to storm water flows. The I&D Works
construction shall be constructed by 21 months from the Effective Date.

The figure below represents the flow paths at present:

The I&D works for Sewerage Zone of Digha includes the following components –

i. Option 1 for Interception and Diversion of Mandiri Nalla and Rajapur Anandipur Nalla –
a. Tapping of Mandiri Nalla and tapping of Rajapur-Anandpuri Nalla at the location where
these nallas meet a natural drain which runs parallel to River Ganga
b. Laying an Intercepting Sewer along River Ganga to receive flows from Mandiri Nalla
and divert to a new sewage pumping station at the location Rajapur-Anandpuri Nalla
meets the natural drain which runs parallel to River Ganga
c. Installation of a new sewage pumping station (I&D SPS-A) at Rajapur-Anandpuri Nalla
including civil, mechanical and electrical works.
d. Rising main from I&D SPS-A to new STP at Digha.
e. Construction of permanent access road to the sewage pumping station.
ii. Option 2 for Interception and Diversion of Mandiri Nalla and Rajapur Anandipur Nalla –
a. Tapping of Mandiri Nalla and tapping of Rajapur-Anandpuri Nalla at the location where
these nallas meet a natural drain which runs parallel to River Ganga
b. Laying an Intercepting Sewer along River Ganga to receive flows from Mandiri Nalla
and divert to a new sewage pumping station at the location Rajapur-Anandpuri Nalla
meets the natural drain which runs parallel to River Ganga

c. Installation of a new sewage pumping station (I&D SPS-A) at Rajapur-Anandpuri Nalla

including civil, mechanical and electrical works.
d. Rising main from I&D SPS-A to gravity network along East / West Boring Canal Road,
Boring Road leading to new Sewage Pumping Station A (SPS-A)
e. Construction of SPS-A and the rising main to new STP at Digha
f. Construction of permanent access road to the sewage pumping station.
g. Option 2 includes re-design of the gravity network to accommodate flow from I&D
SPS-A. It is expected that the flow from I&D SPS-A will reduce once Sewerage
Network and house connections are developed. The gravity system needs to be checked
for the performance of the future flows.
h. Option 2 also includes re-design of the SPS-A and the rising main, to accommodate any
changes due to re-design of the gravity sewers leading to SPS-A.
iii. Interception and Diversion of Kurji Nalla –
a. Tapping of Kurji Nalla near the location of new Sewage Pumping Station B (SPS-B)
which is part of Sewerage Network system
b. Diverting the Kurji Nalla sewage flow to the proposed SPS-B under Sewerage Network
iv. Interception and Diversion of Kurji Nalla (remaining flow) –
a. Tapping of Kurji Nalla at the location where Kurji Nalla meets the natural drain which
runs parallel to River Ganga
b. Laying of Sewer line for untapped sewage flow of Kurji Nalla shall terminate into the
land identified for Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) site at Digha.
c. Installation of a sewage pumping station (I&D SPS-B) at the STP site at Digha,
including civil, mechanical and electrical works
d. Rising main from I&D SPS-B to the new STP at Digha.

Flow Diversion Works for the Sewerage Zone of Kankarbagh

Following systems/ components shall be added for flow diversion works at Sewerage Zone Kankarbagh.
The Flow Diversion Works construction shall be constructed by 21 months from the Effective Date.

1. A weir arrangement in the existing concrete channel from the existing Jogipur Drainage
Pumping Station leading towards Pahari Pumping Stations, at the intersection of
Bhoothnath Road with Patna-Bhagalpur National Highway.
2. Divert the flow from the concrete channel at a suitable location upstream of the weir,
by way of laying a gravity trunk sewer of approximate diameter 1200mm of 1000 m
long, along north of Patna-Bhagalpur National Highway, leading towards the new SPS-
B planned for Kankarbagh Zone, with trenchless technology for the national highway
crossing. Liaise appropriate authority to obtain the necessary permission, along with
BUIDCO for laying and crossing of the national highway.
3. Collect wastewater north of Patna-Bhagalpur National Highway from west of
