COIMBATORE CITY MUNICIPAL CORPORATION
Second largest city in tamilnadu is Coimbatore. Coimbatore is popularly known as Manchester of south
India. Coimbatore is situated in western part of tamilnadu state. Coimbatore city population is 1,250,446
according to 2001 senses. Coimbatore city covers an extent of 105 sq.km. Coimbatore city is the district
headquarters. Textile and automobile parts industries have very good potential in Coimbatore. Many new
software companies have emerged in Coimbatore. Since Coimbatore is near to WesternGhats, Coimbatore
enjoys excellent climate throughout the year.
Coimbatore city has excellent road air, railway and road transport. Coimbatore city has international
airport which is located in avinashi. Coimbatore airport is 10km from city center. Coimbatore rail service is
also connected with all other part of India. Coimbatore city is well connected to Kerala and Karnataka by
road ways. The national highway no47 passes through Coimbatore city. Ooty is known as the queen of the
hill station. Ooty is located 90kms from the Coimbatore city. Ooty is connected with Coimbatore city by
road ways and rail service throughout the year.
ICRA has retained the Issuer Rating of IrBBB+ (pronounced I R triple B plus) assigned to the Coimbatore
City Municipal Corporation (CCMC). †
While retaining the Issuer Rating, ICRA has taken the State Government of Tamil Nadu’s (GoTN’s)
economic and financial position into consideration and also factored in CCMC’s own performance with
respect to its dependence on the State’s finances, extent of cost recovery, progress made in implementing
key reforms and basic service delivery standards. Besides the adequate credit profile of GoTN, the issuer
rating of CCMC factors in the city’s status as one of the important industrial hubs in Tamil Nadu; its
growing tax revenues leading to a comfortable level of revenue surplus being generated consistently in the
last five years; and the satisfactory progress in implementing JnNURM reforms at both the State and
Corporation levels. The Corporation has been able to increase its tax collections by way of an increase in
property tax rates effected in the year 2008-09, improvement in coverage of properties as well as new
initiatives including the creation of a digital database of property tax and opening more collection centres
through the banking channel. The rating incorporates CCMC’s past track record in timely repayment of
loans from the market/banking system, although the debt taken from the State Government has not been
serviced in a timely manner in the past. The rating is however constrained by CCMC’s unsatisfactory
service standards at present in water supply, sanitation and solid waste management, although ICRA notes
that the Corporation has embarked upon a number of projects for improving its services, inability to
increase the user charges for various services and provision of basic amenities despite increasing
expenditure levels, old liabilities towards other State entities and inconsistencies in accounting/information
system further constrain the rating. Moreover, CCMC’s considerable capital expenditure plans (including
JnNURM projects) are expected to lead to an increase in the corporation’s debt burden over the medium to
long term. The debt service capability of the Corporation therefore would be critically dependent upon its
ability to generate adequate revenue from the assets created under JnNURM.
CCMC covers an area of 105.6 square km and had a population of 9.3 lakh as per the 2001 census. CCMC
was incorporated under The Coimbatore City Municipal Corporation Act, 1981 to provide basic services
within the city. The entire city has been divided into 4 zones consisting of 18 wards each, thereby totalling
72 wards. As per the Municipal Act, the tenure of the Corporation is five years. The main decision-making
body is the Council, comprising elected representatives, while the administrative wing headed by the
Commissioner looks after the day-to-day operations. CCMC is responsible for providing various urban
services including water supply, sewerage, solid waste disposal, maintenance of roads/bridges, parks and
playgrounds, storm water drains, education and healthcare in the city of Coimbatore
