Tóm tắt

 Water supply and sewage (WSS) operations in Ludhiana resemble that of many Indian cities
  service levels are poor when compared to benchmarks
  cost recovery is low
  the municipal corporation subsidises operating deficits
  the Government finances capital expenditure
  assets are created through a State owned entity
  internal capacity, systems and procedures are weak. The State Government has taken a decision to make key municipal corporations (including Ludhiana) responsible for future asset creation and also expects them to share capital expenditure. To improve the quality of service, the city needs immediate capital investments and change in management practices. Key institutional actions to achieve this are a) WSS operations focusing on higher cost recovery, b) increased contribution from the municipal corporation to WSS capital expenditure financing as opposed to O & M financing and c) modern governance structure for WSS operations.
