Slums
A large % age of
Mumbai’s population live
in slums
Slums are located both
on public and private
lands
Lack basic services
The CDP admits a substantial decline in the quality of life, attributing it to
infrastructure deficits and growing number of people living in slums

Infrastructure deficits
Limited hours of water supply
Poor condition of transmission
and distribution system
Many households without
sanitation
Slow average travel speed
(proxy for road efficiency) of 6-8
kms/hour
Drainage capacity limited to
carrying about 50% of the
potential sewage
Old storm water drainage
network which cannot take high
rain intensity
Little renewal or replacement of city based infrastructure, resulting in infrastructure aged assets
which operate at sub-optimal efficiency
