Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission (JnNURM) is a massive city-modernisation scheme launched by the Government of India under

Ministry of Urban Development. It envisages a total investment of over $20 billion over seven years. Named after Jawaharlal Nehru, the first Prime Minister of India, the scheme was officially inaugurated by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on 3 December 2005[1] as a programme meant to improve the quality of life and infrastructure in the cities.
Mission Objectives Focused attention relating to infrastructural services in the context of integrated development is to be covered under the Mission. Make efficient and increase self-sustaining capabilities of cities as per the sector proving infrastructural services by securing the linkages between asset creation and asset management Ensure adequate investment of funds to fulfill deficiencies in the urban infrastructural services. Planned development of identified cities including peri-urban areas, out growths, urban corridors, so that urbanization takes place in a dispersed manner. Scale up delivery of civic amenities and provision of utilities with emphasis on universal access to urban poor. To take up urban renewal programme, i.e., re-development of inner (old) cities area to reduce congestion

Case Study of Bandra-Worli Sea Link Chapter 1 INTRODUCTION The construction of the Bandra -Worli Bridge is part of the Bandra -Worli Sea L i n k project necessitated by the exceptionally large amounts of traffic which was earlier using the Mahim Causeway travel from the western suburbs of Mumbai to the commercial hub of the island City. This affects the efficiency and links to the economicmetropolis and the internationally used harbour. As an upshot of Mumbai'srapid growth in economy and population since its independence, traffic has stalledin the city center. It is thought that 120,000 PCU's use the Mahim causeway every day. Therefore for the sea link to make a substantial difference to the level of traffic onthe mainland it is required to be able to accommodate large amounts of traffic. 8 lanes a r e p r o v i d e d o n t h e s e a l i n k , o u t o f w h i c h 2 a r e d e d i c a t e d t o c i t y b u s . I t i s t h e f i r s t bridge of its kind in India to be built in open sea, which has brought up a number of engineering issues urpose Mahim Causeway was the only link connecting the western suburbs to island city of Mumbai. This north-southwestern corridor would be highlycongested resulting in a bottleneck at rush hours. The sea link was thus proposedto act as an alternate route between the western suburbs of Mumbai and centralMumbai, in addition to the existing Mahim Causeway, thus easing congestion.

The project was initiated more than 10 years ago in1999 and was supposed to be completed within 5 years but it was delayed due to public interest litigations. The foundation stone was laid i n 1999, by Shiv Sena supremo Balasaheb Thackeray. It was to cost 300 crore and finished in 2004.The BWSL project is a part of the Western Freeway Sea Project, which, int u r n , i s a p a r t o f a l a r g e r p r o p o s a l t o u p g r a d e t h e r o a d t r a n s p o r t a t i o n network of greater Mumbai. It is primarily meant to provide an alternative tothe Mahim Causeway route that is presently the only connection between SouthMumbai and the Western and Central suburbs. The project starts from theintersection of Western Express Highway and SV Roa d at the Bandra end, andconnects it to Khan Abdul Gaffar Khan Road (Worli Seaface) at the Worli endwhich in turn connects to Mumbai's arterial Annie Besant Road at the Narayan Pujari Nagar corner. The MSRDC is planning to open the remainingfour lanes of the sea link by March 2010.T h e p r o j e c t h a s b e e n c o m m i s s i o n e d b y t h e

The Golden Quadrilateral is a highway network connecting India's four largest metropolises: Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai and Kolkata, thus forming a quadrilateral of sorts. Four other top ten metropolises: Bangalore, Pune, Ahmedabad, and Surat, are also served by the network. The largest highway project in India, initiated by Atal Bihari Vajpayee, it is the first phase of the National Highways Development Project (NHDP), and consists of building 5,846 km (3,633 mi) of four/six lane express highways at a cost of 60,000 crore (US$11.97 billion).[1]

In January 2012, India announced the four lane GQ highway network as complete.[2][3] The 5,846 km (3,633 mi) of highway connects many of the major industrial, agricultural and cultural centers of India. The vast majority of the Golden Quadrilateral (GQ) is not access controlled, although safety features such as guardrails, shoulders, and high-visibility signs are in use. India's government had initially estimated that the Golden Quadrilateral project would cost 60,000 crore (US$11.97 billion) at 1999 prices. However, the highway has been built underbudget. As of August 2011, cost incurred by Indian government was about half of initial estimate, at 30,858 crore (US$6.16 billion). The eight contracts in progress, as of August 2011, were worth 1,634 crore (US$325.98 million).[4] In September 2009, it was announced that the existing four-laned highways would be converted into six-lane highways.[5] The expansion project was reported at various stages to be behind schedule, mainly due to land acquisition constraints and disputes with contractors which had to be re-negotiated.[6][7] The GQ project is managed by the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) under the Ministry of Road, Transport and Highways. The Mumbai-Pune Expressway, the first controlled-access toll road to be built in India is a part of the GQ Project though not funded by NHAI, and separate from the main highway. Infrastructure Leasing & Financial Services (IL&FS) has been one of the major contributors to the infrastructural development activity in the GQ project. The fastest team to circumnavigate the entire Golden Quadrilateral in India, did so in 2009, in a Honda CR-V 2.0. The team covered a distance of 6041.7 km in 85 hours and 32 minutes. Their average speed was 70.5 kilometers per hour.[8]

Economic benefits
The GQ project establishes better and faster transport networks between many major cities and ports. It provides an impetus to smoother movement of products and people within India. It enables industrial and job development in smaller towns through access to markets. It provides opportunities for farmers through better transportation of produce from the agricultural hinterland to major cities and ports for export, through lesser wastage and spoils. Finally, it drives economic growth directly through construction as well as through indirect demand for cement, steel and other construction materials.It gives an impetus to Truck transport throughout India. The North-SouthEast-West Corridor (NS-EW) is the largest ongoing highway project in India. It is the second phase of the National Highways Development Project (NHDP), and consists of building 7300 kilometers of four/six lane expressways connecting Srinagar, Kanyakumari, Porbandar and Silchar, at a cost of US$12.317 billion (at 1999 prices). As of January 2012, 5945 of 7300 kilometers project has been completed.[1] In combination with India's Golden Quadrilateral, and port connectivity highways, NS-EW Corridor forms a key part of Indian highway network connecting many of its important manufacturing, commerce and cultural centers. As of October 2011, India has completed and placed in use some 14000 kilometers of such 4-lane highways.

The NSEW project is managed by the National Highways Authority of India under the Ministry of Road, Transport and Highways.
