External Infrastructure • Power supply to the SEZ would be availed of through a major transmission substation available at Khargar. This substation is of 400/132/33 KV capacity and is connected to the main state power grid. This substation has enough capacity to draw 132 KV transmission lines to the SEZ. The SEZ would have four 132/33 KV substations which would meet the power requirements of 400 MW (of this street lighting and electrification of common facilities is estimated at 76 MW). Maharashtra has surplus power and the power requirement of the state would be further augmented by commissioning of a second phase of Dhabol Power station to the extent of 1450 MW. • The SEZ is projected to require 6 million litres of water daily. Cidco's Hetwane water supply scheme with 450 MLD capacity is enough to cater to the water requirements of SEZ. Cidco has already laid a 800 mm pipeline upto the SEZ. • Commuter Railways systems at New Bombay (including those planned) include: Mankhurd-Belapur-Panvel rail corridor, Thane-Vashi-Juinagar-Uran rail corridor, Ring railway around CBD, Manasarovar-Taloja, Thane-Kalwa-Juinagar-Nerul rail corridor, Panvel-Uran rail corridor and an Intercity Railway Terminal. • The road system planned at New Bombay consists of expressways, arterial roads, local roads and flyovers.
