PUNE: Pune Mahanagar Parivahan Mahamandal The Limited has proposed to supply 100 air-conditioned buses and also appoint a private operator to run the 500 buses supplied by public contracts under the Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission (JNNURM).
The operation and maintenance of the bus is a public-private partnership basis.
The PMPML announced plans to select a private operator who will invest and supply bus 100 AC, 50 in two groups of buses each. These buses will be operated and maintained for a period of 10 years. The private operator will have the right to retain the proceeds of ticket sales and revenue from advertising on buses. The AC buses should operate on routes and timetables set by the PMPML.
PMPML joint managing director Satish Kulkarni, said that buses with AC 100 procurement is out of the 25 buses that AC produced by the Pune Municipal Corporation separately.
The revised budget of the PMC for the current year has placed 12,5 Rs crore for the purchase of 25 AD buses, which will run exclusively for professionals and for people who reach the airport Pune.
This is the second time last year that PMPML invited tenders for the operation and maintenance of 500 buses which are still to be procured. Earlier, PMPML
wanted the private entity to pay more than Rs 12 lakh per bus, and the proposal received little response. This time, the status of «Rs 12 lakh premium" has been removed. Thus, officials expect a good response to tenders. The process of submission of bids by private actors should be completed by the end of this month.
More than 200 CNG buses have been purchased so far, while the rest will be procured in February next year. For operation and maintenance of buses, private operators will receive monthly payments from PMPML based per km. secretary, planning and development, Vijoy Prakash, said that the 2005 economic census reported that the total, only 7% were financed by the bank, 80% of businesses had no power relationship, 11% of entrepreneurs operating without the facilities and 4% were seasonal.
Only 63% of businesses reported and 82% of businesses were driven employer having five employees or less, he said.
