    Project Summary for Public Disclosure

    Project Overview
    Project Name Manipur Water Supply Project
    Country India
    Sector Water Supply and Sanitation
    Approval Date (by the Board) 2 December 2019
    Total Project Cost USD 390 million
    Loan Amount USD 312 million
    Borrower India
    Implementation Agency Public Health Engineering Department,
    Government of Manipur

    I. Introduction

    Manipur, a small mountainous state in the northeastern region of India, is facing serious
    challenges in clean drinking water supply. The key issues affecting Manipur’s water supply
    are inadequate coverage of piped water supply and service, obsolete water treatment
    and distribution infrastructure, contamination of water sources, and high water leakage
    levels. Households are spending up to one to two hours daily to collect water. A significant
    number of households are currently using public hydrants for domestic water needs. Due
    to limited water supply, most of the state’s population is dependent on private water
    suppliers, who charge much higher than the public water supplier – the Public Health
    Engineering Department. This puts an additional financial burden on the local families.
    Due to the use of untreated water, Manipur has witnessed a surge of water borne
    diseases, especially among children.

    II. Project Description

    The Manipur Water Supply Project is proposed to address the above challenges through
    construction and upgrade of drinking water supply infrastructure. The components of the
    Project include construction and upgrade of drinking water supply systems in: i) Imphal
    Planning Area, the capital city of Manipur; ii) 25 other towns; and iii) 1,731 rural
    habitations. The Project will provide safe drinking water supply to about 3.11 million
    people in Manipur by 2025.
    III. Environmental and Social Aspects

    The positive impacts of the Project include: (i) increased capacity of safe drinking water
    supply; (ii) improved water supply network with household connections in urban,
    suburban and rural areas; (iii) time savings for fetching water; (iii) improved water quality
    through enhanced water treatment capacity; (iv) reduced medical expenses incurred by
    water related diseases; (v) reduced loss of time and labor from water related diseases;
    and (vi) improved quality of living for the local population.

    The Project is Category “B” in line with NDB’s Environmental and Social Framework (ESF).
    Main environmental and social impacts include: (i) clearance of existing land, vegetation
    or building; (ii) generation of construction and demolition wastes including scraps; (iii) soil
    erosion and silt runoff, particularly at intake works; and (iv) community safety risks. E&S
    impacts will be mitigated by adherence to Indian E&S regulations and implementation of
    E&S management plans specifically developed for the Project.

    IV. Financials

    The total cost of the Project is estimated to be USD 390 million. The NDB will finance USD
    312 million or 80% of the total estimated cost. The remaining balance will be financed by
    counterpart funds from the Government of Manipur.

    Financier Amount (USD million)


    New Development Bank 312
    Government of Manipur 78

    V. Implementation

    The Project is to be implemented over five years. The Public Health Engineering
    Department of Government of Manipur will be the Implementing Agency. Procurement
    will be conducted in compliance with the national law and regulations, and meet the core
    principles of NDB’s policy.
