City Development Plan - Municipal

Chapter-14 Final Report: Thiruvathipuram Municipality
The investment capacity of Thiruvathipuram Municipality works to Nil in case of
Scenario II with all projects identified in CCP taken in to consideration.
Thus it can be inferred that the Municipalityís financials are very weak in the
long run to undertake new projects.
The investment capacity has got reduced from Rs. 5290 lacs in Scenario I (As is
Where Basis) to Rs. Nil in Scenario II (with all projects), mainly on account of
high operation & maintenance in case of certain projects.
The operation and maintenance expenses of the following new projects are
very high:
Project O&M per annum (Rs. in lacs)
Underground Sewerage 121.80
Roads 77.00
Strom Water Drains 42.45
Total 241.25
The high operation & maintenance expenses of the above three projects is
resulting in negative cash flows for the Municipality as a whole and thereby
affecting its investment capacity.
Based on the above, it can be inferred that the Municipality can take up all the
smaller projects identified in the CCP if the above three projects are not taken in
to consideration and as given below :
