Executive summary
Name Mumbai
Land area 437.71 sq km
Population 12m (Mumbai municipality); 17.7m (Greater Mumbai)
Languages Hindi (the local variant is calledBambaiya Hindi), Marathi, Gujarati
and many other Indian languages. English is widely spoken.
Currency
The Indian currency is therupee, which is divided into 100paise. Notes are available
in denominations of 5 rupees (no longer printed), 10, 20, 50, 100, 500 and 1000
rupees, coins in 1, 2 and 5 rupees and in 25 and 50 paise.
Economic profile
Commerce determined Mumbais history. As India's largest trading port, it has
long served as the country's gateway: open and welcoming to foreigners, and
offering the promise of opportunity to fortune-seekers from the countrys
hinterland. Rudyard Kipling, who was born in Mumbai, wrote of the city she lentme worth, and gave me right to pride.
Mumbai's economy took off in the 19th century, when the British annexed western
India and the British East India Company was losing its monopoly over trade
between Britain and India. Merchants flowed in as restrictions on immigration were
loosened. Ships were built to export raw cotton, silk, opium and ivory. In 1854, the
city's first cotton textile mill opened, and the boom in cotton trade, sparked in part
by the American Civil War which cut off American supplies to Europe, earned
Mumbai its reputation as the Manchester of the East.

By 1865, Mumbai had 31 banks, 20 insurance companies, and 62 joint stock
companies. The first stock exchange was established in 1875. The opening of the
Suez Canal in 1869 consolidated the ports status. Cotton remained an economic
bedrock well into the 20th century, which also saw the arrival of an eclectic mix of
creative people, leading to the creation of Mumbais cosmopolitan culture, and the
profusion of the Hindi (so-called Bollywood) film industry, the largest in the
world.
Today, Mumbai has the buzz of a city on the move. It is the base for Indias leading
companies, such as Reliance, Tata and Air India, and its largest banks and financial
institutions, such as ICICI Bank, Housing Development and Finance Corporation
and Life Insurance Corporation. The Bombay Stock Exchange, which moved from
open-outcry to computerised trading in 1995, and the National Stock Exchange,
which opened in 1994 are India's top trading floors. The textile industry has given
way to the new economy of financial services; call centres and other business
process outsourcing services, information technology and entertainment companies.
A construction boom has created a new skyline of shopping malls, hotels and office
complexes. As the citys cheerleaders position Mumbai for Asian-tiger status, three
concerns override all others: the groaning infrastructure, lack of space and a
chronic housing shortage.
Mumbai is an island and restrictions on both new building and rent levels have
combined to send real-estate prices to levels rivaling those of Tokyo and Hong Kong,
and discussion of whether to increase the citys floor-space dominates local media.
Housing shortages as immigrants flow in from all over the subcontinent (population
is predicted to reach 27m by 2010) have led to the growth of slums: Dharavi, Asia's
biggest slum, sits alongside Bandra, the citys new centre of business. Poverty
afflicts millions. A symbiotic relationship has developed between the citys elite and
the slum-dwellers, many of who are employed in the domestic sector and in the huge
informal economy (which is estimated to contribute between 25% and 40% to
3

Mumbais output). In 2005, the biggest debate about the citys future concerned
how to develop 600 acres of land left vacant by former textile mills at midtown.
Mumbai's infrastructure is another problem. Roads are inadequate and the rail
system clogged. East-west linkages (current corridors have a north-south bias) are
sorely needed. Traffic congestion is especially bad between the airport and the
downtown business area. Lobby groups such as Bombay First are trying to
encourage companies to relocate to suburbs such as Bandra, and calling for
development of satellite towns on the mainland. There are signs that both the state
and national governments are prepared to address the problem. Some lobby groups
argue that a unified city government is what is needed. Governance and
infrastructure problems were both starkly underlined by the lack of readiness for
and the aftermath of particularly devastating monsoon floods in July 2005 Despite
its problems, Mumbai remains Indias biggest business center and has plenty of
potential: the influx of air routes to and from Europe and America is itself evidence
of its growing importance as both a tourist destination and a site of investment.

Introduction
There is nothing wrong if you want to dream. Dream you must to attain even the
seemingly impossible. And if you want your dreams to come true, you must preserve
and create the right congenial conditions. You have to take a total picture without
giving any room for lapses in one way or the other.
Mumbai, a city with more than 14 million people, has seen unplanned construction
of its physical infrastructure in recent years. An editorial in a national newspaper
blamed the greed of builders and their nexus to politicians for what the editor called
as the rape of the city.
Mumbai is the commercial and financial capital of India, generating about 5% of
Indias GDP and contributes over one third of the countrys tax revenues.
In addition, it handles major part of the port traffic of the country. With rapid
urbanisation and industrialisation during the last three decades, the population
growth has been mainly in the suburbs i.e. north of Mahim and Sion while thepopulation growth in the island city has remained more or less stagnant. The
population in the suburbs increased from 5 million in 1981 to 8.8 million in 2001,
while the population in the island city increased from 3.28 million to 3.30 million
during the same period.
The city of Mumbai with its present population of over 12 million generates more
than 10 million daily passenger trips catered by suburban railway and public
transport bus services provided by BEST. The ever growing vehicular and
passenger demands, coupled with constraints on capacity augmentation of the
existing network, have resulted in chaotic conditions during peak hours.

Mumbai infrastructure
Geographically Mumbai lies at a prime location between London and Tokyo.
Mumbai should not only be a financial capital of the country, but should be animportant financial center even for South-East Asian and gulf countries.
Mumbai current infrastructure
Economic infrastructure
Airport
Mumbai has two airports. One domestic and the other international. Both airports
are located inside the city and are easily accessible.
Railway
Mumbai is the hub of the railway network in Maharashtra having three major
railway stations and the headquarters of two Railway Zones in India. Most of the
important places in India are connected by rail to Mumbai. Many important tourist
spots in the state are directly connected to Mumbai by regular trains.
Port
The state of Maharashtra is the Primary Hinterland for Mumbai P ort. Nearly 44 % of
its traffic originates w ithin the state. Mumbai city itself accounts for nearly 28 % of
the total traffic of Mumbai Port.
Port of Mumbai is situated almost midway along the west coast of India and is gifted
with a natural harbour providing ample shelter for shipping throughout the year.There are three enclosed wet docks namely Indira, Prince's and Victoria Docks. For
handling Crude and Petroleum products, there are four jetties at Jawahar Dweep
an Island in the Mumbai harbour. Chemicals and Products are also handled at Pir
Pau. The port, during its long chequered history of over 130 years, has been called
7

upon to handle all types of cargo handling up to approximately one sixth of the total
sea-borne trade of the country.
An extensive network of roads of over 126 kilometers serves the entire Port area.
The Port of Mumbai owns and operates its own Railway, which is connected to the
broad guage main lines of the Central and Western Railway at its Interchange
Railway Yard at Wadala. The Railway runs about 11 kilometers of straight route
between Ballard Pier and Wadala and has an extensive network of track of about
130 kilometers. It serves the Docks as well as the important installations and
factories on the Port Trust estates. It has its ow n fleet of 9 diesel locomotives. The
Railway handled around 1.58 million tonnes of traffic during 1997-98
Roads
Mumbai has the best road connection in India and all the places of importance are
conveniently connected to each other. BEST buses services as well as private
operators provide good services connecting all the major centers in the city.
Future plans
In order to accelerate the financial development of Mumbai and to improve the
living conditions of people, the State Government has prepared a comprehensive
plan to improve infrastructure are as follows
1. The project of Bandra-Kurla Sea Bridge costing Rs.1,306 crore will becompleted in the year 2007.
2. The works, costing Rs.1,113 crore under the Mumbai Urban TransportProject, which has been initiated with the help of the World Bank, have been
completed. Under this project 101 new suburban trains will be introduced by
the year 2007. Due to this, suburban railway travellers will get substantial
relief.
3. Under the Mumbai Urban Infrastructure Project (MUIP) costing Rs.2,600
crore, 462-kilometer roads, 41 flyover bridges, 66 subways and 300-kilometer
8

footpaths will be constructed. This will be helpful in improving the quality of the
main roads as well as to speed up East-West transport in the Mumbai.
4.The Mumbai Trans Harbour Link Project is taking concrete shape. The link
will be a 22 kilometers six lane road bridge on the sea connecting Mumbai Island
to the mainland. The project is estimated to cost Rs. 4,000 crore.
3. To relieve traffic pressure on Mumbai roads and railways, Government hastaken development of passenger water transport on the western and eastern
coast of Mumbai.
4. The scheme for modernisation of the State Police force is being implementedsince the year 2000-01. Up till now, an expenditure of Rs.556 crore has been
incurred on this scheme. Since 2000-01, under this scheme, 4,452 new
vehicles have been provided for the police force. For the year 2005-06, a
provision of Rs.184.20 crore is proposed for the modernisation of the police
force.
5. In order to increase collection of Tax and Fines from Motor vehicles on the22 border check posts of the State, it is necessary to create infrastructure
facilities including buildings, weight bridges, Road lanes and Computers
which would be linked to all the border check posts and office of Transport
Commissioner, RTO, or Dy.RTO. The approximate cost of the work would
be Rs.50 crore for the year 2005-06. It is proposed to make a provision of
Rs.50 lakh in the budget for the year 2005-06.

Introduction
When misfortune strikes it never strikes singlehanded but in battalions
Perhaps, this phrase would suit to what happened on 26 th July 2005. Mumbai has
many records mane and many historical events are dated until now, but the event
that took on 26th July was neither expected nor wanted. It was a wetty Tuesday,
which left lots of memories in the mind of mumbiates, some bad some good, yet the
chances of the second one are minimal. This was the first major event of this type,
yet mumbiates are said to lucky because they were saved from former two natural
havoc:
1. Cyclone, which destroyed kandla port2. Earthquake which shook Gujarat
The unexpected event has opened the loopholes of the government administration as
well all the government departments in front of public. This majorly relates to the
issue of the management done by government. The results are out and the
government is uncovered in fact totally exposed that how it is working, how it has
worked and would be likely to know that how it will work in future.
The whole system is corrupted. Take any of the department water; power telecom
(MTNL) from top to bottom every one is corrupted but, when such a natural
disaster occurred it seems like each and every individual was helping each other not
in the terms of food, shelter but also monetary.
The natural disaster has opened all the loopholes, for e.g. government said that the
roads were made pucca and will be able to withhold this monsoon, but we can look
11
-
8/9/2019 Infrastructure Industry in Mumbai
19/64
at the situation that the roads have been cracked down. BMC and MMRDA have
spent Rs. 315 crores on road construction but the situation remains same.
Government is saying to privatize all the sectors to the public parties but in reality it
has never helped government to develop India infact it has ruined India for e.g. why
public sector company jessop worth about Rs. 2400 crores was sold for Rs. 18 crores
when it had Rs. 14 crores in its bank account. Why the VSNL stakes sold to Tatas
for Rs. 1500 crores when the cash assets they get in return itself is worth Rs. 1100
crores
The economic situation in our country today, is one of zero credibility and shame.

Keeping in view, the location of municipal and government hospitals, fire stations

to ensure that no other traffic is allowed to block the movement of these emergency
service units. This provision of reserved corridors requires identification of inter-
connecting small lanes and by-lanes so as to ensure complete north-south and east-
west mobility. No parking or any other encroachments should be permitted on such
identified corridors. No additional roads are envisaged in this proposal. The traffic
police in consultation with fire services and hospitals should be in a position to
identify such special corridors. Under this proposal, additional entrances for
casualty may be required in some hospitals.

Electronic information display boards should be installed which could be
monitored from BMC control room. The messages displayed are essentially
instructional during the time of disasters. The information displayed will directpublic response and help the administration in localising the impact. In the normal
times, the same display boards can be used for community education on social
issues and disaster preparedness messages.

In order to keep the passengers informed about the movement of rail services,
especially during monsoon and other contingencies, public address systems needs to
be installed in all the rakes. This would also require a wireless contact between the
guard and the railway stations. Such a system would allow the passengers to take
timely decisions with respect to their travel.
Public address systems at railway stations and bus stations
All railway stations, BEST bus stations, MSRTC bus stations within MMR region,
should have the facility of public address system to keep the passengers updated on
traffic situation.
Cable TV networks
Information put on the cable TV networks may help the citizens to take decisions
with respect to their travel. Since cable TV operators have local coverage, a ward
wise arrangement will have to be made for information inputs.
Control on land reclamation
All existing water bodies and storm water holding ponds will have to be protected
under strict development control rules. Clauses providing for any exceptions should
be deleted from the development control rules.

Disaster of disaster management plan
For the me n itself as
an estimated ten-lakh peopl ernment offices, suburban
stations and bus stands for well over 24 hours.
The ambitious disaster management plan provided comprehensive guidelines for
management of crisis in the event of floods, earthquake or communal disturbances.
The main emphasis of the plan was effective coordination with the officials of the
home department, transport, railways, civil aviation, health and voluntary
organisations.
Chief Secretary Arun Bongirwar, Central Railway Chief Public Relations Officer
Mukul Marwah, his Western Railway Countet Party Vinod Asthana and BEST
General Manager Rahul Asthana took initiative to tackle the situation, but the
results were not visible. Apparently, every one ignored the warning of heavy rainfall
issued by the weather bureau.
One of the most important highlights of the disaster management plan was release
of information to the people on the steps to be taken to tackle the crisis and efforts
being made by the government for the purpose. ``No doubt, we took certain steps, but
there was absolutely no coordination between the government agencies, as a result,
more than a million passengers were virtually stranded on the roads,'' a senior official
said.
The official said though the Central as w ll as the Western Railway cancelled its
suburban as well as long distance trains and asked the BEST to deploy additional
buses for the commuters stranded on the railway stations, the government was in
the dark on the steps being taken by other agencies to tackle the situation.
