1 Introduction 1. The project-1 under the Vishakhapatnam – Chennai Industrial corridor has been

initiated under the ADB guidelines.

2 Project Description and Objectives 2. The proposed Visakhapatnam–Chennai Industrial Corridor Development Program

(VCICDP) will complement the ongoing efforts of the Government of Andhra Pradesh

(GoAP) to enhance industrial growth and create high-quality jobs. The VCICDP

comprises: (i) a proposed Multi-Tranche financing facility (MFF), (ii) a proposed policy-

based loan (PBL), and (iii) a proposed administration of a grant to be provided by the

Urban Climate Change Resilience Trust Fund2 (UCCRTF) under the Urban Financing

Partnership Facility. The VCICDP will support policy reforms and institutional

development in the state; and priority infrastructure investments in the Visakhapatnam–

Chennai Industrial Corridor (VCIC).

Impact, outcome and outputs 3. The impact of the VCICDP will be an increased contribution of the manufacturing

sector to the state’s GDP, trade, and employment. The outcome will be enhanced

growth and competitiveness of the VCIC. The VCICDP will have three outputs as

follows. The PBL will support output 1, and the MFF and the Grant will support outputs

2 and 3.

Output 1: Corridor management strengthened and ease of doing business improved.

Output 2: Visakhapatnam–Chennai Industrial Corridor infrastructure strengthened and

more resilient. This will include the development of (i) internal roads, water supply,

drainage, logistics, and industrial effluent treatment in selected industrial clusters; (ii)

roads for connectivity between industrial nodes, ports, and urban areas, and road

safety measures; (iii) power transmission and distribution system in the industrial

corridor; and (iv) smart cities planning with climate change resilience and continuous

water supply in Visakhapatnam.

Output 3: Institutional capacities, human resources, and program management

strengthened.

4. The VCIC is proposed as a node centric development platform with four nodes: (i) Visakhapatnam node, (ii) Kakinada node, (iii) Amaravati region node, and (iv)

Yerpedu–Srikalahasti node. Some of the critical industrial sectors shortlisted for

achieving the targeted outcomes are textiles, food processing, metallurgy, chemicals

and petrochemicals, electronics, pharmaceuticals, and automobiles. In the future, it is

expected to have sectors such as medical equipment, plastics, organic chemicals,

aerospace, and information technology or information technology-enabled services.

The VCIC is well poised to connect to global production networks of southeast and east

Asia.

5. APIIC has prioritized two nodes, Visakhapatnam and Yerpedu–Srikalahasti, for

initial investments.

3 Environmental category as per ADB Safeguard Policy Statement, 2009 6. ADB requires the consideration of environmental issues in all aspects of ADB’s

operations, and the requirements for environmental assessment are described in ADB

SPS, 2009. This states that ADB requires environmental assessment of all ADB

investments.

4 Environmental category of each subproject as per national laws and regulations

7. The nature of the environmental assessment required for a project depends on the

significance of its environmental impacts, which are related to the type and location of

the project; the sensitivity, scale, nature, and magnitude of its potential impacts; and

the availability of cost-effective mitigation measures. Projects are screened for their

expected environmental impacts, and are assigned to one of the following four

categories:

Category A 8. A proposed project is classified as category A if it is likely to have significant adverse

environmental impacts that are irreversible, diverse, or unprecedented. These

impacts may affect an area larger than the sites or facilities subject to physical works.

An environmental impact assessment is required.

Category B. 9. A proposed project is classified as category B if its potential adverse environmental

impacts are less adverse than those of category A projects. These impacts are site-

specific, few if any of them are irreversible, and in most cases mitigation measures can

be designed more readily than for category A projects. An initial environmental

examination is required.

Category C 10. A proposed project is classified as category C if it is likely to have minimal or no

adverse environmental impacts. No environmental assessment is required although

environmental implications need to be reviewed.

Category FI 11. A proposed project is classified as category FI if it involves investment of ADB

funds to or through a FI

12. The Project-1 under the VICICDP is categorized as Category B.

These standards contain performance levels and measures that are normally acceptable and applicable to projects. When host country regulations differ from these levels and measures, the borrower/client will achieve whichever is more stringent. If less stringent levels or measures are appropriate in view of specific project circumstances, the borrower/client will provide full and detailed justification for any proposed alternatives that are consistent with the requirements presented ADB SPS.
