India’s urban population of 410 million makes it the secondlargest
urban community in the world. Yet, the urbanization
ratio (32%) is still low. Overall, the provision of basic urban
services is poor. Total investments of at least $640.2 billion
are needed for urban infrastructure and services until
2031 to meet the needs of the growing urban population
and improve the standard of living of the existing urban
population. The funding gap is estimated at $80–110
billion.3
The new administration, in office since May 2014, has
announced a number of urban development policies and
initiatives in quick succession. This report addresses the
issue of how India can unlock the full potential of urban
regeneration and development to enable inclusive growth
with the participation of the world’s leading private sector
organizations.
India aims to achieve “Faster, More Inclusive and
Sustainable Growth”.4 Achieving inclusiveness involves
addressing poverty reduction, group equality, regional
balance, inequality and empowerment. To achieve these
objectives, however, the country needs to address several
challenges: India currently ranks 71 out of 144 countries in
the Global Competitiveness Index (GCI) 2014-2015, below
its BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India, and China) peers, and scores
worst among the BRIC countries in technological readiness
(2.7 out of 7.0), innovation (3.5) and infrastructure (3.6). Two
recent surveys conducted by the Forum among business
leaders and international investors revealed that both
groups consider funding and financing, as well as policy and
regulation, as main obstacles to investing in India.
The Government of India has sought to foster urban
development by introducing legislation such as the Right to
Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition,
Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act and through various
initiatives, such as the creation of five industrial corridors
and, more recently, the launching of the Make in India
programme and the 100 Smart Cities programme.
The FUDS Initiative provides three strategic
recommendations for the Government of India to advance
the debate around the newly announced policies and
initiatives on urban development
