Development of Multi- Specialty Hospital at Shastripuram, Agra


As Part Of IURP
Uttar Pradesh, India on DBFOT basis
Government of Uttar Pradesh proposes development of Multi-Specialty Hospital at Shastripuram, Agra . UP
Awas Bandhu is the nodal agency for the project.
Deficiencies in the public sector health system in providing health services to the population are well known. The
inability of the public health sector has forced poor and deprived sections of the population to seek health
services from the private sector.
Healthcare of people is crucial to the development of a state. Evidence indicates that, in many parts of India, the
private sector provides a large volume of health services but with little or no regulation. The private sector is not
only Indias most unregulated sector but also its most potent and untapped sector. To address the inefficiency
and inequity in the health system, many state governments have undertaken health sector reforms.
There is growing realisation that, given their respective strengths and weaknesses, neither the public sector nor
the private sector alone can operate in the best interest of the health system. There is also a growing belief that
public and private sectors in health can potentially gain from one another
Agra needs world-class healthcare establishments and the role of private hospitals like this will only enhance our
capability in delivering healthcare to the masses.
Government of Uttar Pradesh proposes development of Multi-Specialty Hospital at Shastripuram, Agra. The
scope of work will cover
Build & operate 300-bedded super-specialty hospitals as per the International standards / Indian Public
Health Standard (IPHS).
Provide secondary and tertiary level medical services in selected disciplines in the hospital.
Up-gradation of the hospitals, at a later stage, for starting super specialty courses along with training
courses for nursing/ paramedical staff.
The development of the project is on Design-Build-Finance-Operate and Transfer (DBFOT) basis under which
the developer will Design, Finance, Construct, Maintain and Operate the project.
GoUP invites proposals from the eligible developers either on their own or in consortium of up to four members,
for being shortlisted for the issue of RFQ cum RFP Document.
The Eligibility Criteria and other terms and conditions are given in RFQ cum RFP Document. The RFQ cum RFP

Regional setting of Agra city

Agra is geographically located at 2712' North latitudes and 7812' East longitudes. It has an extremely strategic
location on the confluence of three distinct geo-physical regions namely the plain of Uttar Pradesh, the plateau of
Madhya Pradesh and the desert of Rajasthan. The city also falls in the center of the four-culture areas- Braj,
Bundelkhand, Rajputana and western U.P. Both these factors have played significant roles in shaping the life and
history of the city

Connectivity of Agra city


Historical Background
Agra city is of historic importance, which is amply evident from the numerous historical monuments in and around the
city. The Hindu epic Mahabharata refers to it as Agraban, part of Brij Bhoomi, the homeland of Lord Krishna. The
earliest recorded history of Agra, is its establishment by a local king in 1475. The city was the capital seat of Mughals
in medieval times. The heritage of the city is linked with the Mughal dynasty but numerous other rulers also
contributed to the rich past of this city. Agra was founded by Sikandar Lodi in the 16th century. It grew into an
important power centre under the Delhi Sultan Sikandar Lodi and he shifted his capital from Delhi in 1504. Babar also
stayed in Agra for some time and introduced the concept of square Persian-styled gardens. Emperor Akbar built Agra
fort and Jehangir did the beautification with gardens and palaces. The city has a proud possession of Taj Mahal as
one of the seven wonders of the world, now declared as World Heritage Site. The post-Mughal era of Agra saw the
rule of Jats, Marathas and finally the British taking over the city. In addition to its historic importance, Agra is a main
center of political, economic, commercial and cultural activities.
Physical Characteristics
The river Yamuna enters the city from the north-east corner, flows towards south for some distance and then turns
towards east. The general slope is from west to east in CIS-Yamuna area on the right bank of the river Yamuna.
The climate of Agra city is extreme and tropical. During summer season the maximum temperature of the city rises to
47C and drops down to minimum of 30C during winter season. The city receives moderate to high rainfall with an
average yearly rainfall of about 686 mm. The ground levels at Agra vary from RL 150 m to 170m. The strata consist
of mainly sandy soil. The sub-soil water level is generally 6 to 8 m below ground level.

RFQ cum RFP for Design, Build, Finance, Operate and Transfer Multi-Specialty Hospital At Shastripuram In Agra

The city stretches for about 9.0 kms along the Yamuna river. The major part of the city is on the Western side of
Yamuna and has grown beyond the river on the eastern side and is called the Trans Yamuna area while the original
part is called as CIS Yamuna.

5.2

Agra Development Authority

Agra Development Authority (ADA) was established under the Uttar Pradesh Urban Planning & Development Act
1973 in order to ensure planned development of the city. ADA has progressed from small beginnings to embrace an
overreaching authority in the development scenario of Agra. In consonance with the aspirations of modern India,
ADA aims at coordinated and planned development of city: to enable Agra to extend urban infrastructure to absorb
the pressures of a rapidly changing society, and to provide an environment which would enable the utmost
satisfaction level of all sections of its inhabitants.
To fulfil its role, the Authority seeks to coordinate in accordance with a comprehensive Master Plan along with the
work of various other agencies involved in the creation and extension of urban infrastructure.
Taking forward this development process and to redress the lack of Multi Speciality Hospital in the State of UP, ADA
has proposed to set-up a 300 Bed Multi Speciality Hospital in Agra.

Introduction:

Being centrally located on the national map, Agra forms an important regional urban center. Its central location
makes it a major transport node at the regional level as well as national level. This has also led to an extremely
rapid and hap-hazard growth and development pattern.
The biggest resource for Uttar Pradesh is its large human resource and there is urgent need to invest in human
capital if the State is to improve its ranking on Human Development Index and the country is to attain the
Millennium Development Goals by 2015. Improvement in Health outcomes is an important part of the
Development strategy of the State and, hence, the State Government is taking several steps to remedy the
situation.
Agra needs world class health care establishments to enhance the capability in delivering healthcare to masses.
Agra development Authority aims to establish a multi-speciality Hospital at Shastri Puram near Sikandara. The
total land identified for this purpose is 5 acres. The proposed Hospital offers an attractive investment opportunity
for the private sector.
Development Objectives:
Bridge the deficiencies in Public Health system
Provide Health care to people, a crucial development input.
To tap the potential of the Private Sector in providing health care.
To regulate the public sector investment in Health care.

2.

Need of Project:

Deficiencies in Public health system in providing health care facilities to the population is known. Healthcare is a
crutial development input. The potential of private sector in providing health care facilities is still not fully tapped.
Collaboration with the private sector in providing health facilities has generated many challenges and
opportunities. Agra needs world class health care establishments and the role of private hospitals will only
enhance our capacity in delivering healthcare to the masses.
In spite of the entry of some major health care players, the city still laks high quality medical infrastructure at
affordable prices. The city is weak in Trauma and Critical care, Burn treatments and Plastic surgery.

Historical Background
Agra city is of historic importance, which is amply evident from the numerous historical monuments in and around
the city. The Hindu epic Mahabharata refers to it as Agraban, part of Brij Bhoomi, the homeland of Lord Krishna.
The earliest recorded history of Agra, is its establishment by a local king in 1475. The city was the capital seat of
Mughals in ancient times. The heritage of the city is linked with the Mughal dynasty but numerous other rulers
also contributed to the rich past of this city. Agra was founded by Sikandar Lodi in the 16th century. It grew into
an important power centre under the Delhi Sultan Sikandar Lodi and he shifted his capital from Delhi in 1504.
Babar also stayed in Agra for some time and introduced the concept of square Persian-styled gardens. Emperor
Akbar built Agra fort and Jehangir did the beautification with gardens and palaces. The city has a proud
possession of Taj Mahal as one of the seven wonders of the world, now declared as World Heritage Site. The
post-Mughal era of Agra saw the rule of Jats, Marathas and finally the British taking over the city. In addition to its
historic importance, Agra is a main center of political, economic, commercial and cultural activities.
Physical Characteristics
The river Yamuna enters the city from the north-east corner, flows towards south for some distance and then
turns towards east. The general slope is from west to east in CIS-Yamuna area on the right bank of the river
Yamuna.
The climate of Agra city is extreme and tropical. During summer season the maximum temperature of the city
rises to 47C and drops down to minimum of 30C during winter season. The city receives moderate to high
rainfall with an average yearly rainfall of about 686 mm. The ground levels at Agra vary from RL 150 m to 170m.
The strata consist of mainly sandy soil. The sub-soil water level is generally 6 to 8 m below ground level.
The city stretches for about 9.0 kms along the Yamuna river. The major part of the city is on the Western side of
Yamuna and has grown beyond the river on the eastern side and is called the Trans Yamuna area while the
original part is called as CIS Yamuna.

Significance of tourism in Agra


Agras importance on tourist map cannot be underestimated; it is one of the key tourist destinations attracting
tourists from all over the world. The city forms one edge of the prime tourist circuit in India- the so-called Golden
Triangle, the other two cities being Delhi and Jaipur. The city is rich in its art, heritage and culture, which are also
reflected in its historical monuments. This makes the city as one of the most attractive tourist places of the
country. The Agra city currently has three world heritage sites: the Taj Mahal, Agra Fort and Fatehpur Sikri. This
entire area is called Taj Trapezium (TTZ), a 10,400 sq. km area around the monument where industrial business
is limited.

Golden Triangle

Tourist Destinations
The city has huge tourism potential due to the Taj Mahal. The city has numerous monuments of historical
importance that give impetus to the tourism in the city. The major tourist spots in the city include Taj Mahal,
Fatehpur Sikri, forts, temples, etc. Radha Swami Samadhi, Dayal Bagh, Ram Bagh, Jama Masjid, Mehtab Bagh,
Itmad-ud-Daulah, Sikandara, Mariyams Tomb, Mankameshwar Mandir, Rawali, Kailash Mandir, Balkeshwar
Mandir, Baptist Church, Sai-ka-Takia are also major attraction spots for tourists and devotees.
Population Growth
The population of Agra city is 12.75 lakhs as per Census 2001 with a decadal growth rate of 30.37 per cent.
During the post-independence period commerce showed a phenomenal increase with the associated industrial
development and establishment of industrial estate, which resulted in the increase of city population. In last four
decades, the decadal growth rate was maximum of 32.15 per cent during 1971-81. The population projection for
the year 2021 has been taken as 22.69 lakhs.

Density
The administrative limits of the Nagar Nigam Agra encompass an area of 141.0 sq. km with a population density
of about 9043 persons per sq. km as per 2001 census. A comparison of the gross density of the city clearly
indicates an increasing trend from the year 1981 to 2001. The density has shown a sudden decrease because
Nagar Nigam area has increased more than two times whereas the population has not increased to that extent.
The old city areas where the settlements started flourishing from the Mughal period like Lohamandi, Shahganj
are highly congested while the density is lowest in colonial Agra. The large open areas between the fort and the
Taj has remained undeveloped because it is the most low-lying area and hence more prone to floods.

Thus, it can be seen that the density in the mixed land use areas of the Mughal city is the maximum while in the
institutional colonial areas it is the minimum. The density in these areas is as high as compared to the other parts
of the city.
Infrastructure Facilities in Agra
Existing Linkages
Agra is well connected by air, rail and road network. The city is on daily route of Indian Airlines and is only 30
minutes flight from Delhi. It is also on the main Delhi-Mumbai broad gauge (BG) railway line and well connected
by BG to major cities like: Bharatpur, Gwalior and Kanpur. Agra is served by seven railway stations: Raja-kiMandi, Agra Cantonment, Agra City, Agra Fort, Idgah, Yamuna Kinara and Bilochpura and 3 bus stations (Agra
Fort, Idgah and Transport Nagar). The city is falling on the corridor of Golden Quadrilateral under the ever since
major scheme of NHDP. Moreover it is located on the junction of four National Highways namely Delhi - Kolkata
(NH-2), Agra - Mumbai (NH-3), Agra - Jaipur (NH-11) and Agra - Aligarh (NH-93) and two State Highways
namely Agra - Fatehabad (SH-62) and Agra Gajnair (SH-39). The city is considered, from tourism point of view,
to be one of the nodes of golden triangle consisting of Delhi Agra Jaipur. The journey time by rail from the
Delhi to Agra takes about 3 hours.
Road Network
Request for Proposal Volume III: TEFR

Page 6

Request for Proposal for Design, Build, Finance, Operate and Transfer Multi Specialty Hospital in Agra

The road network within the city is not developed enough to cater for the requirement of tourism, which Taj Mahal
attracts. Intermediate Public Transport (IPT) is the popular mode of transport due to lack of proper public
transport system. In fact the road network of the city offers poor level of service affecting safety, efficiency and
economy of traffic operation within the city. The total road length of 1724 km in Agra Nagar Nigam area (including
pucca road, semi pucca road, kaccha road) hasnt increased in last three years (since 2003).
Mahatma Gandhi Road (MG Road) acts as north-south spine of the city dividing the CIS Yamuna area into two
parts. It is a major commercial corridor handling about 60-70% of the traffic in the city. Thus it is the busiest road
of the city, which has traffic congestion problems in the following six junctions: Bhagwan Takies, Hariparwat,
Raja Mandi, St. Johns, Collectorate and State bank. Apart from MG Road junctions another six congested
junctions have been identified. These are: Ram Bagh, Water Works Circle, Sultan Ganj Pulia, Yamuna Kinara
marg, Bizli Ghar, Subhash Bazar (Kotwali Area).
Agra Master Plan
Agra Master Plan 2021 envisages an urban area of the order of 20,000 ha which has been subdivided into
various landuses as given in the table. It is also estimated the housing shortage for the plan period of the order of
2.5 lakh. The important policy are as under:

Financial Feasibility
Introduction
Being centrally located on the national map, Agra forms an important regional urban center. Its central location
makes it a major transport node at the regional level as well as national level. This has also led to an extremely
rapid and hap-hazard growth and development pattern.
The biggest resource for Uttar Pradesh is its large human resource and there is urgent need to invest in human
capital if the State is to improve its ranking on Human Development Index and the country is to attain the
Millennium Development Goals by 2015. Improvement in Health outcomes is an important part of the
Development strategy of the State and, hence, the State Government is taking several steps to remedy the
situation.
Agra needs world class health care establishments to enhance the capability in delivering healthcare to masses.
Agra development Authority aims to establish a multi-speciality Hospital at Shastri Puram near Sikandara. The
total land identified for this purpose is 5 acres. The proposed Hospital offers an attractive investment opportunity
for the private sector
Project Cost
Total Project cost of 300 Bedded Multi Speciality Hospital is estimated to be Rs.10056 Lakhs approximately. The
details of the project cost are tabulated below:

Basic assumptions for estimation of the project cost are as follows:


a. Preliminary, Preoperative & Startup Expenses @ 1% of the sum of land and construction cost (to be
written off in five years starting from 1st year of operation.)
b. Provision for contingencies @ 5% of the sum of land, construction cost and preoperative expenses.
c. Interest during construction is @ 12% payable quarterly. Total construction period 24 months.
Need of Project:
Deficiencies in Public health system in providing health care facilities to the population is known. Healthcare is a
crutial development input. The potential of private sector in providing health care facilities is still not fully tapped.
Collaboration with the private sector in providing health facilities has generated many challenges and
opportunities. Agra needs world class health care establishments and the role of private hospitals will only
enhance our capacity in delivering healthcare to the masses.
