It reduces overall infrastructure costs by avoiding duplicate construction, minimizes disruption to the public by avoiding repeated excavations, reduces air pollution and speeds up the deployment of telecom services due to the availability of ready-made ducts. Additionally, this approach enhances the maintenance and upgrade efficiency of telecom networks and other utilities. Details of Service As per the RoW Rules 2024, Central Government may notify an infrastructure project or class of infrastructure projects, where the public entity shallMake available (duct) on an open access basis, that is, non-discriminatory and non-exclusive, subject to payment of charges based on prevailing market rates and the principle of cost recovery over a minimum period of twenty-five years.Provide for an online application process to enable facility providers to make an application.Provided that such charges shall not exceed the amount as may be notified by the Central Government from time to time.This concept proposes the nationwide adoption of 'Shareable Telecom/ Telecom+ Power Ducts' to address these challenges. The key objectives are:Cost-effectiveness: Sharing infrastructure reduces overall costs for all stakeholders.Reduced inconvenience: Fewer trenches are needed, thus minimizing public disruption.Simplified RoW: Single approvals for sharable ducts will streamline the process.Optimized space utilization: Efficient use of space will minimize the need for additional infrastructure.Improved aesthetics: Reduction of aerial cables enhances urban landscapes.Enhanced service: Easier maintenance and accessibility improve service reliability.Future-Proofing: Increased adaptability to emerging technologies and changing service needs.
