The average growth rate of Indore has been 40% which is higher as compared to the national growth rate Is 25.7 %

Basic civic infrastructure especially the roads, drinking water & sewerage in the commercial city spread over an area of 92sqkm though it counts for 145sqkm.

With establishment of Indore development authority (IDA) and Indore municipal corporation (IMC) all the planning and developments in relation to infrastructure are executed by these two agencies.

Natural barriers of steep land with hills have restricted the growth ofIndore towards the west and therefore the city has extended itself in theeastern direction, but these physical constraints are no barriers for peri-urban development now. Industrial areas and informal sectorshave developed in the northern parts, while middle and highincome districts are in the south.

Undeveloped & under developing areas are :--Fringe areaSlumsNorth & West indore

infrastructure and devlopment approach

In todays development scenario Indore is the fastest developing cities of India

Infrastructure in Indore facilitates production of goods, services and also the distribution of finished products to the market.

Indore is also good in basic social services such as hospitals and educational institution. Itis only city in india to have both the prime institution IIT & IIM.

Basic infrastructure of Indore : --

Water supply & its management Drainage , sewage & Solid waste management Road network & Transportation

water supply and resources

The major source of water supply to the city is through Narmada river and then there are several other smaller sources

Indores water supply & management

Indirasagar dam in khandwa district is the main source through which many downstream dams are constructed, one such linking indore is Omkareshwar dam

About 14o mega litres of water per day is provided through Narmada water supply project ,further water demands are acquired through other smaller projects .

The growth of urban population, estimated at 4% to 5% per annum, and the rapid urbanisation has significant influence on water demand and exerting pressures on the available water sources, leading to over exploitation of groundwater resources. Around 68 per cent of citys population receives water between one or two hours every alternative day, while the other areas augment supplies by water tankers.

water supply and resources

The water supply in the city is unsatisfactory on account of high losses and inefficiencies in the system.

UN Habitat in co-ordination with Asian development bank is checking the present water supply situation in Indore. In view of the proposed new water augmentation scheme to supply more water to Indore through a new $240 million pipeline

Due to negligence of the agencies .despite of inefficient water supply Indore continues to exploit its water supply through leakeges

With an set-up of Waste water processing unit in pimpri, Indore is adding more liters of water to its supply

solid waste & its management

Solid waste management is one among the basic essential services provided by municipal authorities Under Solid Waste Management , IMC & IDA provide collection, transports, processing recycling or disposal of waste materials.

According to IMC solid waste includes:Garbage (e.g., milk cartons and coffee grounds)Refuse (e.g., metal scrap, wall board, and empty containers)Sludges from waste treatment plants, water supply treatment plants, or pollution control facilities (e.g., scrubber slags)Industrial wastes (e.g., manufacturing process wastewaters and nonwastewater sludges and solids)

Other discarded materials, including solid, semisolid, liquid, or contained gaseous materials resulting from industrial, commercial, mining, agricultural, and community activities (e.g., boiler slags).

Due to negligence of municipal authorities,solid waste goes on collected without removal as in exchange people took action against IMC.

Indore city comprises of two systems of drainage, The Sanitary Sewer System and the Storm Drainage System

Water based disposal system with sewage treatment facilities is neither environmentally nor economically good , According to a survey an Indian family of five, producing 250 liters of excrement in a year and using a water flush toilet, contaminates 150,000 liters of water when washing away its wastes

As currently designed, Indias sewer system is actually a pathogen-dispersal system. It takes a small quantity of contaminated material and uses it to make vast quantities of water unfit for human use.

The Sanitary Sewer System takes household wastewater (such as water waste from sinks, toilets, washers,etc.) and carries it through a home's plumbing and into an underground sewer pipe. From there it ultimately goes to the Town's wastewater treatment plant, where the wastewater is treated and discharged into the River

Drainage & sewage system

Indore have an efficient sewage treatment plant that meet their issues regarding wastewater generations in Industrial , Institutional ,residential and Commercial Sectors

Water management system

Reverse osmosis (RO) is a method of purifying water for industrial processes and human consumption. RO can remove mineral salts and contaminants such as bacteria and pesticides.

Rain harvesting system

Further, the purification is done at different levels and successfully removes suspended solids and other impurities. Further, Narmada water purification plant is now the main source for the whole MP region

solid waste management system

Under Solid Waste Management , IMC & IDA provide collection , transporst , processing recycling or disposal of waste materials.

Despite of all efforts and transections are coming up round the year INDORE too have the same water congestion problems unknowingly good roads to support rains

negligence of imc & ida

Connectivity of Indore

Indore city is well connected by an expressway, several national and state highways, whereas rail network bifurcates the city exactly from the centre The city transportation system is predominantly dependent on roadway systems.

City in context to road devlopment

As the city transport system basically depends upon the road network which further categorised by travel pattern

o A.B. Road Corridor (Mangliya to Rau) -23.80 Kms o Eastern Ring Road Corridor -23.65 Kms o River Side Road Corridor -14.50 Kms o Western Ring Road Corridor -15.90 Kms o M.R.10 Corrido
