About Nagpur, Maharashtra
Nagpur is the third largest city of Maharashtra It is the 13th largest city in India by
population. and according to an Oxford Economics report of 2018, Nagpur is projected to
be the fifth fastest growing city in the world from 2019 to 2035 with an average growth of
8.41%. According to the 2011 census, the population of the city was 24,05,665 with city area
of 227km2, within municipal limits. The city has a classic ring and radial form.
It has been proposed as one of the Smart Cities. Due to its strategic geographical location,
it is well connected with 4 major metropolitan cities of India (Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai &
Kolkata) by roads (NH6 &NH7), rail (with more than 240+ trains passing in all directions in the
country) and air ( Dr. Babahsaheb Ambedkar International airport).
Public Transport Systems in Nagpur
Public Transport Systems for intracity movements within the city majorly is taken care by the
metro rail (MajhiMetro) service , the city bus (Aapli Bus) service.
Metro Rail – Majhi Metro
Recognizing the increasing travel demand in the city, a metro rail system for Nagpur was
envisaged in 2013. The metro project consisted of two routes: Automotive Square, Kamptee
to MIHAN Metro depot at Khapri ,and Pardi, Prajapati Nagar, East Wardhaman Nagar to
Lokmanya Nagar, (Mount View) Hingna. The projected daily ridership is at 3,63,000 pax.
To execute the project, the Cabinet approved setting up of Nagpur Metro Rail Corporation
Limited (NMRCL) now known as Maharashtra Metro Rail Corporation Limited(MAHA-
METRO). MahaMetro is a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) created for the smooth
implementation and operations of the Nagpur Metro Rail Project and is a joint venture of
the Government of India and the Government of Maharashtra, with 50:50 equity. Maha
Metro is solely responsible for the successful and timely completion of the project and its
subsequent operations. The trains operate every 15 minutes between 8am and 11pm every
day with a speed of 80 km per hour.
Figure 1 Nagpur Metro Corridor Alignment

Alignment 1: North-South Corridor (Orange Line)
This corridor originates from Automotive Square on Kamptee Road; moves along Kamptee
Road and reaches the intersection point of Amravati Road and Wardha Road, then after
crossing Fly Over moves towards Munje Square, moves towards Dhantoli and along nala
moves towards Empire/Dr Munje Marg, leads towards Congress Nagar T-Point, then on
Rahate Colony Road and then falls on Wardha Road, leads towards NEERI, then moves
along Wardha Road and then west of Railway Track in MIHAN area and passes through
14m wide stretch of land between the railway boundary line and the road near proposed
Container Depot.
Entire length (19.6 km.) of this corridor is proposed as elevated except after Airport Station
and in MIHAN area near Khapri Railway Station. There are 20 stations on this corridor of
which 15 stations are elevated and 5 stations are at Grade. Sitaburdi Station is an Inter-
change station. Each metrorail has 3 trailer cars and the PHPDT capacity available for 2016
is 76401. (Refer Annexure 1.)
Alignment 2: East-West Corridor (Aqua Line)
This corridor originates from Prajapati Nagar and runs westwards, through Vaishnodevi
Chowk, Ambedkar Chowk, Telephone Exchange, Chittar Oli Chowk, Agarsen Chowk,
Doser Vaisya Chowk, Nagpur Railway Station, Sitaburdi, Jhansi Rani Square, Institute of
Engineers, Shankar Nagar Square, Lad chowk, Dharmpeth College, Subhash Nagar,
Rachna (Ring road Junction), Vasudev Nagar, Bansi Nagar to Lomanya Nagar.
The entire corridor is elevated. The total length of the corridor is 18.557 kilometres. There are
20 stations on this corridor. Each metrorail has 3 trailer cars and the PHPDT capacity
available for 2016 is 70522. (Refer Annexure 1.)
City Bus Services- Aapli Bus
Nagpur Mahanagar Parivahan Limited (NMPL) is a special purpose vehicle of the Nagpur
Municipal Corporation to run transport services within Nagpur city. It has a fleet of 487 buses
(17 are electric buses; 88 are low-floor Mini Buses, and 382 are low-floor 50-seat Star Buses),
which serve about 160,000 passengers daily in the metropolitan area.
Since, city bus services in Nagpur have not been able to live up to the expectation of the
bus commuters in Nagpur, especially due to the quality of the buses and inefficient
operations, lack of maintenance of buses etc. Considering the above, DIMTS has been
appointed for the city bus route rationalization plan for the short term and long term
improvement.

By March 2017, Total No. of City Bus Services Routes Notified by the RTO for operations by
NMC was 183. However, the DIMTS team received list of 154 routes, which has been utilized
for the current study. Of the 154 routes, 36 routes are operational and remaining 118 routes
are non-operational.

Intermediate Public Transport Systems in Nagpur
Intermediate public transport (IPT) modes i.e. Auto rickshaws, Shared Autos and Taxis play
an important role in meeting unstructured travel demands of the users. IPT performs as
feeder service to the main mass transport system (Both Rail and road based) and provides
accessible movement in predefined areas.
Within Nagpur city, IPT acts as competent access/egress modes and competing with the
road based public transport system especially on short trip lengths. Trip characteristics by
these modes are entirely different compared to the trips made by other motorized modes,
as these modes offer high flexibility, services from almost door to door, fare, etc.
As in the case of Nagpur, the IPT is unorganized and is operating independently by the auto
drivers, albeit sometimes in unions.
Auto Rickshaws
The current mode share of Auto rickshaws is 19.8% which is observed to be more than that
of the public transport. (See Annexure 2)
The average growth rate of these IPT vehicles in the city is observed to be -1.23%. It has also
be observed that maximum no. of Auto-rickshaws have been registered in the 2015, with a
share of 1.01%.
The auto rickshaw permit is issued as per the Section 72 of Maharashtra Motor Vehicle Rules
of 1989, which is valid for 5 years. The permitted passenger capacity of these vehicles is
3-4 PAX in usual scenarios and 2 PAX ever since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic.
There are 317 authorized auto rickshaw stands in Nagpur and as of October 2019 a total of
about 18316 auto rickshaws operating in the city3.
The shared autos are operating from the prime locations such as the Nagpur Railway
Station, Medical Chowk, Ajni Railway Station, Ganeshpeth and Mayo Hospital.
Annexure 3 lists out the shared auto routes, route lengths and fares in Nagpur.

Figure 4 The common 3 seater Auto-rickshaws in Nagpur

Battery Operated Rickshaws/ E-rickshaws
Despite the government strongly advocating switching to the electric mode of transport
from the conventional fuel mode, the sale and registration of e-rickshaws in Nagpur has
failed to gain momentum.
These battery-operated rickshaws also ply in the cities, but since their number stands much
low at just 2440, as of October 2019, their share in contributing is much lower.
Although the guidelines set by Regional Transport Authority had restricted these battery-
operated vehicles to ply only on internal roads, they have been seen plying on busy and
main roads like the Central Avenue, Wardha road, Amravati Road, etc.
On-demand Taxi Services (Ola, Uber, etc.)
Between 2010 and 2016, the average growth rate of Taxies is witnessed to be 10.75% with
a share of 0.30%, with the total number of taxis in Nagpur at 4407 in 2016.
In 2016, with an intention of promoting electric vehicles within the country, Ola has also
taken up a pilot initiative of introducing a fleet of 200 electric vehicles, including taxis, buses,
e-rickshaws and auto within the city in cooperation with Mahindra and Mahindra. As of
now, only electric Ola cars can be seen plying passengers of the roads.4

Cycle-Rickshaws
Cycle-Rickshaws is a NMT mode of Intermediate Public Transport with and average trip
length of 2.5 km. (See Annexure 5). Also, out of the total 4305853 trips that are being made
daily in Nagpur, trips by rickshaws are only 18731, which only account for 0.4% of all trips
made.
Refer Annexure 4 for daily passenger trips by mode for the year 2017-18 in a survey carried
out by UMTC for CMP formulation.
Also, due to popularity of other IPT modes, mainly auto rickshaws, cycle-rickshaws are
limited to ply within the CBD areas, sometimes even to carry light to medium urban-freight
over shorter distances within CBD and thus, is not a major mode of intermediate public
transport.
Multi Modal Transport Hubs in Nagpur
Inter-modal integration is a strategy proposed for Nagpur which will ensure efficient and
effective coordination across various transport modes. Important Multi Modal Hub locations
were identified during the planning of mobility corridors in Nagpur at 2 levels.
Level 1 locations connect various city public transport modes and level 2 locations
connects city public transport modes with regional public transport modes (rail terminal,
bus terminal, ISBT, airport, etc.), devising a hierarchical manner in which lower order modes
serve as feeders for higher order public transport modes.
These locations are listed in Annexure 5.
Average Trip Lengths in Nagpur
 In Nagpur the average trip lengths are observed to be 7.6 km (including walk trips)
and 8.2 km (excluding walk).
 Auto-rickshaws have an average trip length of around 5.8kms.
 Cycle rickshaws have an average trip length of 2.5kms.
 Average trip length of Bus, minibus, school bus and chartered bus are 13.1km, 8km,
7.1km and 18.2 km respectively.
For formulating the CMP, UMTC has conducted primary survey in 2017-2018. The mode
wise average trip length of various modes has been enclosed in Annexure 6.

IPT Scenario in Neighbourhood Area
Study Area chosen:
BhauSaheb Surve Nagar (and nearby areas), Nagpur, Maharashtra- 440022
Reason for selection: Proximity to residence and presence of almost all modes.
Location and brief description of various PT/IPT services available nearby:
The area demarcated in yellow colour is the Bhau Saheb Surve Nagar. It is Ward Number 3
of South-West Zone of Nagpur, on south of the internal ring road, which connects
Chattrapati Square with Hingna at Priyadarshini T-point.
The thick red lines (Route no. CBS-032-T i.e. Sitabuldi to Hingna) & (Route no. CBS-008-T i.e.
Pardi to Mahindra & Mahindra) represent the trunk lines of the city bus services. The pink
line which goes toward Jaitala represent the feeder line of city bus services, (Route no. CBS-
178-F i.e. Jaitala to Kharbi Road) as shown in Figure 10.
Refer Annexure 7 for list of all bus routes in Nagpur.
Figure 10 Various Transport Options near the Study Area

The dotted cyan line superimposed on the red line on the road connecting Hingna to
Sitabuldi represents the Aqua metro line (East-West corridor) of the metro rail. Rachna Ring
Road Metro Station is the nearest metro station, which is at a distance of 1.2kms from the
auto-stand surveyed at Mangalmurti Square.
Hingna is one of the industrial cluster area of Nagpur. It houses a lot of small, medium and
large industries and thus, a lot of labour population stays there. It also houses a lot of
Nagpur’s colleges and institutions.
In the morning hours, a lot of students are travelling towards Hingna for colleges and a lot
of working population towards the city. The square also houses a lot of girls hostels and
hence a lot of shared taxis (mostly Maruti Omnis and Tata Magic) ferry them to and fro
colleges in a shared fare manner. But ever since the lockdown, the hostels have shut down

and these Taxi drivers have stopped parking there. The autos still park there, but this is not
one of the designated autostand. (Figure 11)
IPT Operators’ Survey in Neighbourhood Area
Autostand Surveyed: For the purpose of the study, a brief operator survey was conducted
at the Mangalmurti Square Auto stand. The picture of the auto-stand and one of the main
respondent, Mr. Ramteke has been shown in Figure 12.
Important Points from the Survey Conducted:
Operational Characteristics:
 Coverage: The privately hired auto-rickshaws are free to go anywhere. In case of
shared autos, certain predefined routes are set, but the services can be extended
wherever the passenger desire, albeit in the municipal limits of the city.
 Ridership:
Pre-COVID: Maximum 4 passengers when hired. In case of shared autos, upto 6-8
passengers at shorter distances.
Post-COVID (Now): 3 passengers max. in both cases (hired & shared)
 Routes: No specific information regarding routes was made available from the
respondents. Although, 60 identified routes have been identified in Annexure 3.
 Number of trips made per day: Since these auto-stands operate as a union, they
are allowed to take passengers at turns. Each day is started with a specific operator
and the sequence is followed after his first trip.
(There are around 8 Auto-rickshaw operators at Mangalmurti Auto- Stand).
Few of the auto-rickshaws also provide service to school kids- but that has stopped.
Pre-COVID: 5- 6 trips per auto rickshaw.
Post-COVID (Now): 1-2 trips per auto rickshaw. (that too hired. Shared usage has
almost stopped totally)
 Frequency/ Timings: 8 am to 8pm. Those autorickshaw operators who used to drop
school kids, began there day at 7am.
Figure 16 The Auto-Stand at Mangalmurti Square and the
Autodriver Interviewed: Mr. Ramteke

 Fuel Type: All the autorickshaws at Mangalmurti Square are Petrol fuelled.
 Average Trip Length: The respondents failed to give an exact trip length. But from the
CMP, the average trip length is around 6 kms.
 Cost of Operations: Although the auto operators hesitated at providing an exact
figure, we can compute a rough estimate based on the data available.
Pre-COVID:
Month: February 2020
Cost of Petrol in Nagpur (on 1st February 2020) : ₹78.75 per litre
Fuel efficiency of an autorickshaw: 20km per litre
Assuming best scenario as provided by them,
i.e., 6 trips a day = (6 x 6 x 2) + 25% = 90kms was total distance covered by them in
a day.
i.e. Fuel required= 90/20 = 4.5 litres, i.e. 4.5 x 78.75 = ₹350
Average fare of a trip= ₹120
So, money earned by a autorickshaw driver = 120x 6 = ₹720 + ₹150-200 (shared
passengers they’d pick up enroute their destination) = Around ₹870-920
Therefore Net-profit realised/ earnings made = 900- 350 = ₹550 per day
Post-COVID (Now):
Month: November 2020
Cost of Petrol in Nagpur (on 1st November 2020): ₹87.88 per litre
Fuel efficiency of an autorickshaw: 20km per litre
Assuming best scenario as provided by them,
i.e., 2 trips a day = (2 x 6 x 2) + 25% = 30 kms is total distance covered by them in a
day.
i.e. Fuel required= 30/20 = 1.5 litres, i.e. 1.5 x 87.88 = ₹130
Average fare of a trip= ₹120 (rates haven’t changed due to stiff competition)
So, money earned by a autorickshaw driver = 120x 2 = ₹240 + ₹100 (shared
passengers they’d pick up enroute their destination) = Around ₹350
Therefore, Net-profit realised/ earnings made = 350-130 = ₹220 per day
By this rough estimate it is safe to say that, the income of auto-rickshaw owners has
dropped by almost 50-60% due to the pandemic scenario. The additional income
they generated by dropping school going kids has stopped too.
Institutional Characteristics:
 Registration & Permit: All the operators at the Mangalmurti Auto stand have been
registered with the Regional Transport Authority.
They have been assigned badges by the RTO/RTA to operate as an auto-rickshaw
driver which they have to keep on them all the time.
 Formal Association: The respondent informed that there are around 15-20 Unions
spread throughout the city- together who operate through 380 authorized
acknowledged auto stand in the city. For example, in Figure 13, you can see that the

name of their union is written on board (नागपुर जिला ऑटो चालक मालक महासंघ/ Nagpur
District Auto Driver-Owner Federation) and that they are affiliated with All India Trade
Union Congress (AITUC), which protects them under ILO Guidelines on the UN.
 Benefits of such Formal Association: All these operator stands are located at
important junctions of the city. Taxi services like Ola and Uber cabs are not allowed
to park their vehicles within 100m radius of these spots of these stands so that cabs
don’t have undue advantage over auto-rickshaws and doesn’t hamper the business
of these auto-rickshaws.
 Fare related decisions: All the fares for the designated routes have been set jointly by
the RTO officers and various Union leaders. Auto-rickshaws that operate on shared
basis along fixed routes operate at their own fixed rates.
Although, it has been observed that none of the privately hired auto-rickshaws in
Nagpur follow any guidelines and the consensus at fare is reached after negotiation
with the passengers. No auto-rickshaw in Nagpur follow a working fare meter.

Annexure 1
Train formation
To meet the above projected traffic demand, the possibility of running trains with
composition of 3 cars with different headway has been examined.
Composition
DMC : Driving Motor Car
TC : Trailer Car
Capacity (@ 6 passengers per square meter of standee area)
Driving Motor Car (DMC) - 247 (43 seated + 204 standing)
Trailer Car (TC) - 270 (50 seated + 220 standing)

Annexure 2
Mode Share of Nagpur City
Source: Primary survey conducted in 2017-2018 by UMTC for preparation of CMP,
As seen, 2 wheelers account for almost 43% of all trips made. Auto-rickshaws constitute
19.8% whereas bus make up for 15.6% of all trips made.
The implementation of Metro rail increased the share of modes to the favour of public
transport systems.

Annexure 3
Even though these routes have been identified by the Regional Transport Office, Nagpur,
yet majority of the shared auto services do not operate on the above identified routes and
extend their services directionally across the city.
