Govt is expecting completion of 4 more smart cities and logistics parks by FY25 : Rajat Saini, NICDC CEO

NEW DELHI: After building

G u j a r a t ’ s D h o l e r a S p e c i a l Investment Region, the government is in the process of bringing up two smart cities and logistics parks each by the end of next financial year under the National Industrial Corridor Development Programme.

W h i l e K r i s h n a p a t n a m a n d Tumakuru, part of the ChennaiBengaluru Industrial Corridor (CBIC), are being developed as smart cities, Nangal Chaudhary and Greater Noida, under the Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor (DMIC), are upcoming logistics and multimodal hubs, Rajat Saini,chiefexecutiveofficer(CEO)and managing director (MD) of the N a t i o n a l I n d u s t r i a l C o r r i d o r Development Corporation (NICDC), told.

Through the National Industrial Corridor Development Programme, the government wants to develop

industrial cities as “smart cities”, c o n v e r g i n g n e x t - g e n e r a t i o n technologies across infrastructure sectors.

NICDC, which is in charge of the programme, is responsible for the planning of 11 industrial corridors identified by the government and building 32 futuristic industrial cities, which can compete with the best manufacturing and investment destinations in the world. Of the 32, four greenfield industrial smart cities have been developed under DMIC.

The 11 corridors will have smart cities, industrial towns, and logistics parks, and will develop dedicated freight corridors, improve road and highway networks, expand railway i n f r a s t r u c t u r e , a n d r e d u c e transportation bottlenecks.

“Our planning includes identifying two things — supply and demand of industry infrastructure and gaps in

infrastructure,” Saini said.

Sources said the Government expected an average investment of Rs 25,000-30,000 crore each in the next lot of 10-11 industrial smart cities that are in the pipeline. Its own investment will be Rs 1,500-2,000 crore each.

Under the DMIC, 10 projects i n c l u d i n g i n d u s t r i a l t o w n s , investment regions and logistics parks have been planned.

The Dholera Special Investment Region, Shendra Bidkin Industrial Area (Maharashtra), Integrated Industrial Township (Greater Noida), and Integrated Industrial Township (Madhya Pradesh) are the four greenfield industrial smart cities that have been developed.

Adani Ports set to surpass revised cargo volume guidance of 400 MMT for FY24 : Motilal Oswal

H

EDABA

A d a n i Po r t s a n d Special Economic Zone (APSEZ) has s h o w n r o b u s t performance in the first 11 months of financial year 2024 (FY24), achieving a cargo volume of 382 million metric tonnes (MMT), marking a 24 per cent year-on-year (YoY) growth on a year-to-date (YTD) basis, analysts noted.

The company’s monthly cargo run rate, reaching approximately 35 MMT, suggests a strong likelihood of surpassing its revised guidance of 400 MMT for FY24, brokerage firm Motilal Oswal said in a note.

With a robust logistics business, APSEZ saw a 21 per cent year-on-year increase in rail volume in FY24.

Its extensive pan-India presence, coupled with strong pricing power and a major proportion of sticky cargo, contributes to its consistent market share gains.

The company’s investment in infrastructure for its logistics business is expected to enhance longterm cash flows and earnings. With a net debt-to-EBITDA ratio of 2.5 times as of December 2023, APSEZ maintains a favourable leverage position. EBITDA is earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation.

The port operator anticipates major growth in the logistics sector, highlighted by its achievement of the highest quarterly rail volume and expansion in warehousing capacity.

Furthermore, the addition of rakes and expansion plans signify its commitment to future growth in the logistics segment, the Mumbai-based brokerage highlighted.

Despite the potential impact of the Red Sea crisis on its traffic, currently c o n s t i t u t i n g a p p r o x i m a t e l y 10 per cent of its total volume, APSEZ remains resilient. However, continued disruption could affect volumes in the long term.

Based on its strong performance and growth prospects, Motilal Oswal analysts project a 10 per cent volume growth and a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15 per cent, 16 per cent, and 18 per cent in revenue, EBITDA, and profit after tax (PAT), respectively, over financial year 2024-2026 (FY24-26).
