GROWTH DRIVERS OFROPEWAYS IN INDIA

EnvironmentallySustainable

► Relatively Low Carbon foot prints

► Little disturbance in Micro environment both during constructionand operation.

► Cable car vehicles have no motors and therefore no noise and airpollution along the route.

Robust Demand

► The global market for cable cars and ropeways is valued close toUS$ 1.9 Bn. The Global ropeways segment is expected toincrease at a CAGR of 11.9%.

► 65 ropeways operational in the country and many other ropewaysare under consideration in various states like Uttarakhand, WestBengal, Northeast states, etc.

Cost Effective

► Fuel cost saving with wide usage of Ropeways is expected to beenormous

► Aerial Ropeway Technology is economical with compare toBRT/MRT

OPPORTUNITIES AND GROWTH DRIVERS OF ROPEWAYS IN INDIA

Good for placeshaving DifficultTerrains

► Construction of road / rail infrastructure is capital intensive &Challenging task in hilly terrain.

► Limited availability of land, steep slopes, rocky terrains, cost ofcutting for tunnels, etc.

Source: Urban mobility conference 2016, Niti Aayog report 2018

Alternative for UrbanTransportation

► It is comparatively easy in operation as it has little considerationfor horizontal and curve alignment

► Studies conducted have shown that ropeways are a safe mode oftransport

► Demands low space for towers & stations

► Less maintenance cost, construction time than metros operating incities

PROJECT CONCEPT

Aerial Ropeway systems are used to transport goods as well as passengers where conventional

machines cannot be used due to inaccessible terrain or where high investments for the

construction of streets and railway can be reduced. Ropeways are also constructed for summer

and winter related tourism activities where people are carried to higher reaches. Ropeway systems

are capable of overcoming large distances and major obstacles.

Including topographically demanding terrain. There can be no doubt that in modern world the

ropeway systems have become major tourist attractions at different tourist destinations all across

the Globe. The modern ropeway systems are eco friendly, safest and reliable means of urban

transport with following advantages.

► Most Energy Efficient

► Low Land Requirement.

► Low Power Requirement

► Pollution Free

NEED FOR THE PROJECT

► Identified locations are popular tourist destinations

► Making already established tourist destinations more attractive

► Located on hills, environmentally sensitive zones.

► Improving the Tourism Infrastructure Scenario

► All of these locations have high or medium footfalls which causes huge amount of vehicularmovement in and around these destinations disturbing flora, fauna and causing pollutionsimultaneously

► Cable car is a convenient, time saving, eco – friendly, sustainable solution as well as a touristattraction itself

► Rising Middle Class, Increased Affordability & increased demand for weekend gateways

► Encourage livelihood opportunities for the local population

PROPOSED TECHNOLOGY

► The ropeway stations i.e. Tension and Drive are connected by an endless haulage rope

through Drive / Return sheaves followed by different sheaves batteries placed on the trestles.

The trestles will be placed at designed distance along with the ropeway alignment.

► Each gondola will be fixed to the rope at a predetermined equal spacing along the entire

ropeway length.

► The haulage rope along with different gondolas moves continuously in a particular direction at

a specified speed. On approaching a particular station i.e. either tension or drive the gondola

detaches from the rope by a mechanism.

► After detachment the gondola de-accelerates by a tyre mechanism and moves on the curved

rail inside the station with a speed of 0.5m/ sec by a chain arrangement / tyre arrangement.

► During this period the door of the gondolas will be opened for de boarding and corresponding

boarding.

► By another mechanism the speed of the gondola accelerates and matches with the rope

speed. Once it is done the gondola is then allowed to attach with the haulage rope.

► The gondola then moves out from the station and moves towards other station.

► This is the way a gondola will travel from lower terminal and upper terminal and vice versa.

PROJECT 1DEHRADUN (PURKULGAON) TOMUSSOORIE ROPEWAY

► Mussoorie is known as the queen of hill stations and is one of the most popular hill stations in

India. It serves as the gateway to Yamunotri and Gangotri, much popular Hindu shrines in

north India. The weather is generally bright and clear and there are popular picnic spots in and

around the town - Kempty Falls in the west and Dhanolti, further up beyond the town

like Mahadev temple, Malsi Deer Park, robbers cave, etc. Mussoorie is situated 30 kms from

Dehradun

► The ropeway will connect 2 of the busiest places in Uttarakhand and reduce traffic problems in

Mussoorie with many people expected to use it. Due to the ease of its use for visitors, the

ropeway is expected to see heavy footfall and provide ample opportunity to be financially

feasible

► Reduce travel time in peak season - 2 /3 hours to about 20 minutes

► Tourist Arrivals (2017)

Project 4 -Govindghat to GhangariaRopeway Project

► Hemkunt sahib is a major spiritual destination on the way of the Govindghat - Ghangaria

Ropeway project

► Shri Hemkunt Sahib is an important pilgrimage destination for Hindus and Sikhs. Hemkund is

the breath-taking Lokpal lake located at an altitude of 4329 m from the sea level. The

picturesque natural settings make this hill region an amazing place for rejuvenating vacations

► The tourist traffic statistics of 2002-2012 indicates that the cumulative annual growth rate of

tourists (both domestic and foreigners) visiting Shri Hemkunt Sahib have been in the range of

2.8% in the last 10 years i.e. since 2002

► Many of the willing people could not visit Hemkunt Sahib due to the strenuous trek or steps

which will now be convenient for them due to the ropeway.

► The time of travel from Govindghat to Hemkunt Sahib would reduce from 12 hours to about 1.5

hours by the proposed ropeway

► The Proposed project will increase the socio-economic status of Chamoli District and

especially of Hemkunt Sahib Gurudwara.

► Pilgrim’s count will increase rapidly with this ropeway project as the old-aged and physically

weak pilgrims will get smooth access to Sri Hemkunt Sahib
