Ahmedabad Slum Free City Action Plan
Ahmedabad is one of the few cities in India that has a pro-poor policy for the provision of water
and sanitation to slums. The Slum Networking Programme (SNP) of Ahmedabad Municipal
Corporation (AMC) has won many accolades and is recognized globally as a model for such a
programme.
Urban poverty alleviation has been at the forefront of urban development agenda in the State.
The State government had declared the year 2005 as the Urban Development Year. A
comprehensive and holistic urban vision was formulated in the Urban Year 2005. The
Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission (JnNURM) of the Government of India,
launched in 2005 was helpful in achieving a part of this vision. In the year 2009, a holistic
framework under the Swarnim Jayanti Mukhya Mantri Shaheri Vikas Yojana (SJMMSVY) was
put in place to support and sustain urban livelihoods and liveability for the poor. This involved
skill upgrading of urban youth, construction of shelter for slum dwellers, provision of safe
drinking water and toilets, and improving mass transport facilities.
A state level policy framework also supports pro-poor urban development. Under the Gujarat
Town Planning Act, there is a provision for reservation of up to 10 per cent of land for EWS
housing. The State government has also enacted policies for slum rehabilitation and
involvement of the private sector. At local level, since 1971, when a slum census was carried
out, AMC has adopted policies to provide services to slum dwellers.
The present document is part of the overall strategy of AMC’s Slum Free City Action Plan
under the Rajiv Awas Yojana. Slum Free City was one of the important goals of AMC in its
Comprehensive Development Plan (CDP). This action plan, being prepared for RAY support,
would help AMC to achieve the goal of making Ahmedabad a city without slums.
to tackle the problem of slums in a definitive manner. The President of India, in his address to
both houses of Parliament on 4th June 2009, declared the resolve of the government to usher in
a Slum-free Urban India in five years through the launching of RAY. This is an important
instrument to implement to national strategy of Inclusive Growth as well as the National Urban

Housing & Habitat Policy (2007). It is an instrument for making cities slum-free by extending
policy level and financial support to states and cities. It calls for a multi-pronged approach
focussing on
Bringing existing slums within the formal system and enabling them to avail of similar

urban poor and compel them to resort to extralegal solutions in a bid to retain their
A Slum Free City Plan of Action (SFCPoA) is an important instrument and foundation for cities
to attain the objectives of RAY. It is a citywide plan of action, which consists of a plan to bring
about the improvement of existing slums and strategies for prevention of future slums. In doing
so, the SFCPoA takes into consideration not only the present status and priorities of slum
dwellers but also the resources and capabilities of the city in improving the quality of life of the
• The present report identifies a slum based on AMC’s definition, used in its slum related
programmes, as “A compact settlement of at least 10 houses built mostly of non-durable
materials and poor construction, temporary in nature, crowded together with
inadequate sanitary and drinking water facilities”.
• A detailed socio-economic survey of all slum households and total station survey of all
slum pockets was carried out in 2009.
• The slum household survey, carried out by agencies hired by AMC, was validated
through a process of community consultation with the help of CEPT and Mahila
Housing Trust (MHT) teams visiting each slum pocket. They corrected the survey forms
where necessary and submitted a verification report with signatures of slum households
for each settlement.

• In adopting a ‘whole-city, ‘whole-slum’ approach, for slum upgrading, the focus has
been on in-situ upgrading with minimum displacement. A key focus is on provision of
water and toilets to all slum houses, and supporting shelter upgrading in slums where
basic services have been provided through the SNP. Private sector participation is
sought under the policy framework laid down by the State government.
The choices of slum redevelopment options presented in this report emanate from
consultations with various slum communities. Their views and opinions have been
incorporated in identifying upgrading strategies for each slum.

Today, Ahmedabad is the seventh largest city of India. It is a major industrial and commercial
centre of Western India. The city contributes significantly to the economy of the state and the
country. Within municipal limits, it is administered by the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation
(AMC); outside these limits village Panchayats are responsible. Urban planning and
infrastructure development in the area outside AMC limits is done by the Ahmedabad Urban
Development Authority (AUDA).

Ahmedabad Slum Free City Action Plan
AMC derives its legislative basis from the Bombay Provincial Municipal Corporations (BPMC)
(Gujarat Amendment) Act, 1999. It carries out obligatory and discretionary functions as
incorporated in the said Act.
In 2006-07 the AMC area was increased from 190 to of 466 km2. It is divided into six
administrative zones and 64 wards. The area within AMC limits consists of
1. the old city centre within the gates with relatively high-density development, large
concentration of commercial activities and narrow streets;
2. the area east of the Sabarmati River accommodating large and small industries and low-
income residential areas;, and
3. the area west of the river, accommodating major educational institutions and middle-
and uppe- income residential areas.

Ward Offices mentioned is headed by a Ward Officer. The major responsibilities at this include
minor engineering, health and sanitation.
1.3.1 Demography
Ahmedabad city population increased from 1.58 million in 1971 to 5.5 millions in 2011. During
the 2001-11, the decadal population growth declined to 27.6%. This is partly due to the fact that
the population in the peripheral area has increased significantly. The decadal growth in
Ahmedabad urban agglomeration was 40% in % Decadal

the same period. Thus, the aggregate growth Growth Rate
1971 1,585,544 37.88
of Ahmedabad’s population has been high.

The city is expected to grow at a moderate rate and stabilize by the year 2035 with a population
of 11 million. The plan for a city without slums will have to take cognizance of this projected
growth and ensure that new slums do not occur in the future. This would happen only when all
households have access to affordable shelter options.
The greater Ahmedabad area has grown at a moderate rate. Growth rates have declined from
3.2 and 2.2 per cent (compounded per annum) during the past two decades. However, the rates
vary across different spatial units. The population within the AMC limits appears to approach a
stabilization level. The areas adjoining AMC, falling within AUDA limits, have shown rapid
growth.
Page | 6
Ahmedabad Slum Free City Action Plan
As stated above, the population growth in the peripheral areas is more rapid than in the areas
within city limits. This is partly due to the saturation of population within the city area and the
consequent large-scale housing development in the peripheral areas. The contrasting spatial
patterns observed in the eastern and western areas of AMC have extended into the peripheral
areas in similar manner. The western part is experiencing more rapid growth than the eastern
part. Rapid ribbon development was witnessed along the Sarkhej-Gandhinagar highway during
the 1990s (see Map 1.2). These trends are likely to intensify further in the coming decades. It is
also noteworthy that Ahmedabad’s spatial expansion is largely contiguous and relatively
compact.

years. It also appears that most of the eastern part and a few parts in the southwest and
northwest have higher densities.
Box-1: Ahmedabad – A Compact City
In terms of spatial expansion, as may be seen from the satellite images below, unlike Bangalore
and Hyderabad, the city during the past ten-year period has expanded in a contiguous manner
and remained compact.
A comparative analysis of three cities in terms of spatial expansion over a decade has been
carried out based on Lan Sat Image. From the above it is evident that Hyderbad is the most
spread out city followed by Bangalore. The blue patches indicate low-density sprawl type of
development.
The study referred to below analysed planning mechanisms and concluded that the Master
Plan/ Development Planning and Town Planning Scheme mechanisms have been effective in
Ahmedabad in keeping the city compact. Further, it concludes that the effect of urban sprawl is
also evident in terms of acute traffic and transport problems in Bangalore, and to some extent in
Hyderbad.

AMC provides piped water to 85% of the households through 124 water distribution stations
situated in various zones. The total length of piped water distribution network is approximately
3000 km. At present, AMC supply is 750 MLD of treated water at the rate of 140 lpcd. The main
source of surface water is the Sabarmati River and Narmada Main Canal. AMC plans to stop the
use of groundwater completely by the year 2015. Construction of new Water Distribution
Stations is underway and nearing completion. AMC plans to cover 100% population by piped
water supply. All slum dwellers, irrespective of their tenure status, are eligible for water
connections. Where this is not possible, public taps are also provided to ensure access to water
for the poor.
1.4.2 Sanitation
AMC has adoped a strategy of “sanitation to all”. A major component of this plan is to provide
a toilet to each slum house. During 2005-8, nearly 29,000 individual toilets were constructed
under various schemes of AMC and the state government. The pace of construction was
accelerated during the period 2008-2011, when 31,561 toilets were built. Where provision of
toilets was not possible, community toilets and pay-and-use toilets were provided. There are
956 community toilet blocks in Ahmedabad. In addition, 254 pay-and-use toilet blocks are
functioning and another 80 are under construction.
AMC runs pre-school centres (anganwadi) in all slums. It also runs primary schools in or near
many slum areas. It has drawn up an action plan for increasing enrolment of slum children to
municipal schools and to reduce the dropout rate.
There are urban health centres run by AMC and its partners. These centres provide a range of
services, ranging from immunization, prenatal and postnatal care, and services under the Anti-

Malaria Programme and Integrated Child Development Scheme. AMC also runs the municipal
hospitals to cover the major heal care facilities. Urban poor’s are the major beneficiaries of these
services.
A. Municipal Schools:
AMC runs 464 municipal primary schools for educating urban poor families. In 2010-11, about
1.5 lakh students were enrolled in these schools, which offer education, in Urdu, Hindi,
Marathi, Sindhi and Tamil and English medium besides Gujarati. The numbers of of teacher-
students is given below in table:
AMC also runs five girls’ high schools for higher secondary studies. As of 2010-11, there were
1,340 girls enrolled in them.

Ahmedabad Slum Free City Action Plan
Ahmedabad Corporation carried out the last slum census during 1974-76. Subsequently, it has
been doing a settlment level survey once each decade. Therefore, as of noe no accurate
information is available regarding estimation of slums, their characteristics, or a key basic slum
profile for AMC. This has resulted in a poor slum database and an absence of slum
infrastructure-related information. The lack of a robust slum information system is a barrier to
effective decision making for slum redevelopment.
• Data are scattered across various municipal departments without proper collation and
with poor inter-departmental communications.
Basically, lack of information results in poor decision making and increases service inequities.
Therefore, AMC has recognized the need for a GIS-enabled slum information system for
effective decision-making. In order to develop such a system, AMC has carried out a socio-
economic slum survey and a total station survey for all slums at household level.
The questionnaire used for household survey in slums was as per the guidelines issues by
Ministry of Housing and Poverty Alleviation, Government of India. The checklist suggested by
the National Buildings Organisation was used. It captures family details, livelihood details,
housing condition, and infrastructure facilities and services available at slum and cluster level.
A slum information system was prepared for this database. Field verification of the household
survey was done by CEPT and MHT teams.

Page | 18
Ahmedabad Slum Free City Action Plan
All the information collected is being collated into a management information system (MIS) for
slums. A location map of all slums on a GIS platform was prepared, and being updated with
Google Earth images and Satellite images. This map was used for linking the total station
surveys and household surveys. Efforts were made to collect information from various
departments of AMC, e.g. Engineering Department for water and drainage services, Town
Planning Department for land ownership and plot reservations, and Health Department for
community toilets.
All slums survey results are collated in a base map of Ahmedabad. Based on this, AMC now has
a well-functioning MIS of slums that is used to carry out detailed plot level analysis for slum
upgrading strategy.
With the help of slum mapping, it has been possible to identify changes in slums over time. See
below for examples of slum pockets that were listed in the 2001 survey, but do not exist or have
changed completely in built form in ten years.

Map 2-1 Slum on Ground (Google Image 2001) Map 2-2 Slum Does not Exist (Google Image 2010)
All the information related to slum pockets, e.g. the digital maps of total station survey, land
ownership information, socio-economic surveys etc. is integrated in the GIS database. Maps for
various infrastructure networks, viz. water supply, drainage, storm water have been integrated

as GIS layers. AMC has procured a satellite image of Cartosat-II, which has enabled fine-tuning
of the maps prepared using Google Earth. The MIS linking the socio-economic data to GIS maps
provides a basis for evolving slum-specific strategy.
AMC has developed a web-based MIS for Slums. This helps retrieve all physical and social
information related to slums. A GIS-based MIS system is developed and customised on Map
server platform. In this system, front-end management is through PHP and back-end is
managed over MySQL server. It includes a query builder system, which helps generate required
results from the slum survey.

AMC is also exploring the possibility of linking this with the e-governance system. Once the
slum information system is linked to the e-governance system, it will be possible to use it to
mainstream slum locations in routine AMC work.

In the slums taken up under SNP or other infrastructure improvement programmes, many
households have begun upgrading shelter on their own, with their own funds. In some of these
slum pockets, one can see two-storeyed houses as well. The Ahmedabad strategy recognises
that shelter upgradation – transforming kucha shelters to pucca – is happening and needs to be
supported; various technical options and financing options were considered for this in the
overall strategy. In addition, under The regulation for the Rehabilitation and Redevelopment of
the Slums Policy of 2010, private developers are encouraged to play a major role in slum
redevelopment.
Based on the above, the following five options were identified for slum upgradation in
Ahmedabad.
• In-situ service upgradation to ensure access of water, toilets, to every slum, and street
paving, open drains and street lights in all slums (as in SNP)
• In-situ shelter upgrading in slums that have all the basic facilities and/or those covered under
SNP. Technical options of wall and roof construction were demonstrated by models to the
community
• In-situ reconstruction of houses, where major restructuring of layout is required. A few new
housing options were developed and presented to the community.
• Relocation options on sites that are on marginal lands – lakes and ponds or on the right of
way of major roads. For this, various possible sites were discussed with the community.
• Public-Private shelter construction on slums where private developers have expressed
willingness to construct shelter as per The regulation for the Rehabilitation and
Redevelopment of the Slums Policy of 2010.
Based on the specific situation of each slum pocket in terms of existing housing conditions, level
of services, dwelling unit density, land ownership and location of settlement, a set of options
were prepared for consultation with the community. Community suggestions in terms of the
various options, their implications for the community and the financial contributions that
community can make etc. were discussed.

Ahmedabad Slum Free City Action Plan
Making Ahmedabad a slum-free city was a goal in the City Development Plan (CDP) prepared
in 2006. This CDP had envisaged goals “to ensure access to all at acceptable standard house,
owned or rented within the plan period and move towards a City without slums”. With this
aim, the CDP identified Slum Networking in 149 slum pockets at a cost of Rs. 120 cr. It also
listed a Chawl Reconstruction Programme in 1,34,000 chawl houses at a cost of Rs. 750 cr. In
addition, it proposed weaker section housing on the periphery of Ahmedabad for families to be
relocated from lakes and road land, and create affordable housing at a cost of Rs. 500 cr.
Since 2006-07, there has been some progress in pursuing the CDP goals. Under Basic Services
for Urban Poor (BSUP), 32,500 new housing units have been built by AMC and AUDA at a total
cost of Rs. 550 cr.
AMC now has an opportunity to revisit its slum development strategy for RAY. The key to the
successful implementation of this strategy lies in more realistic targets and focus on in-situ slum
development. .

or Development Plan roads, or near railway tracks. In addition, many slum pockets
are along the planned BRTS corridor or other major transport projects. These slum
settlements will need to be relocated at sites as close to original site as possible. For
this option, various possible sites need to be discussed with the community.
Ahmedabad has a segmented development pattern. With its concentration of textile mills in the
eastern part, rental housing for industrial workers, in the form of chawls – single-room housing
units with common water and sanitation facilities – were built in the proximity of the textile
mills. Many private entrepreneurs and industrial units provided such low-cost rental units,
which provided an affordable housing option to migrant industrial workers during the 1930s
and 1940s. The Bombay Rent Control Act of 1949, enacted to safeguard interests of the tenants
in the post-war period, had an adverse impact on low-income housing options for the poor.
Controls imposed by the Rent Control Act kept rents extremely low, discouraging maintenance
and resulting in deterioration of the chawls. No new Chawls were built in the 1950s and
migrant labour and other low-income families had to find shelter in the slums that emerged as a
response to the demand for low-income housing. Many new slums also came up in Ahmedabad
during the late 1970s and early 1980s after the Urban Land Ceiling Act was enacted.
As Mahadevia (2011) 1 states, “After the enactment of the Urban Land Ceiling and Regulation
Act (ULCRA) 1976, private owners holding land in excess of the permitted amount divided
their land into sub-plots which they sold to low-income households. The purpose of the
legislation was to prevent the monopolisation of land and make land available to public
agencies to house the urban poor. Residents believe the sale agreements, made on a stamp-
paper or by issuing receipts through affixing revenue stamps, to be legal transactions as they
are unaware of land transactions documents. Similarly, land in the peri-urban areas has been
sub-plotted by its respective owners and sold to low-income buyers without obtaining non-
agriculture (NA) permission from the designated competent authority or any development
permission. The third category of land that has come into the informal housing market is that
reserved for public purposes in the city’s Master Plan. Before such land is acquired for public
purpose by the competent authority, this too is sub-plotted and sold off. Intermediaries or
developers (operating in the informal market) are involved and are given power of attorney to
carry out sale transactions on behalf of the private owner.”
Thus in Ahmedabad, a large number of slums located on private land do have de-facto tenure.
Many have some informal sale deeds, often on a stamp paper of inadequate value, which makes
the legal process of establishing title on land extremely tenuous.

There are two types of low-income settlements in the city: the chawls originally built as low-
income rental units, and slums that represent informal settlements with varying forms of land
and shelter tenure. The focus of AMC’s slum free city plan is on the slums and all the surveys
and studies have been done for the slum settlements. The chawls are excluded from the survey
in the current phase.
AMC has been proactive in providing basic services to the poor. During the 1970s, a slum
survey was carried out and identity cards were issued. The AMC also decided to provide water
and toilets to slum dwellers, irrespective of tenure. In the 1980s, subsidies were provided to
slum dwellers for toilets. When it was found that the eligiblility criteria for the toilet subsidy
scheme were too rigid, AMC relaxed them and increased the subsidy amount to 90 per cent of
the cost of the toilet. A policy to link slums with the main infrastructure of the city was evolved
under the SNP. In the initial years, SNP was implemented as a partnership of AMC, private
sector, NGOs and Community. This programme has received global recognition. In the 1990s,
the AMC liberalized the provision of services to slum dwellers buy simplifying the application
procedures and issuing No Objection Certificates for water and drainage connections to all
housing units of less than 40 m2. This programme got further intensified under the Nirmal
Gujarat programme of the Gujarat government, which also provided funds for toilet
construction.

Estimating the slum population has been a difficult task, partly because of the definitional issue
and partly because inclusion of chawls in the slum estimates. Slum estimates are available from
special surveys carried out by agencies on behalf of AMC. In 2009-10, AMC undertook a
household survey for slums.
The first slum census for Ahmedabad was carried out by ORG (Operations Research Group) in
1972 for AMC. In 1982, AMC engaged Core Consultants to do a similar census. Estimates were
made from the population censuses of 1981 and 1991. The Censuses of 2001 and 2011 provided
direct estimates of slum households.
The percentage of housing categorized as slums was estimated to be 17.2 in 1961, which
increased to 22.8 in 1971 and 25.6 in 1991(Mehta and Mehta 1989) 2. The ORG census estimated
that in 1972, 17.1 per cent of the population was living in slums. The Core Consultants census
suggested that in 1982, 21.4 per cent lived in slums. The Population Census of 2001, which for
the first time estimated population living in slums, states that only 13.4 % of Ahmedabad’s
population in that year lived in slums. The City Development Plan (CDP) of Ahmedabad
prepared by AMC in 2006 states that “presently there are around 710 slums in the city housing
2
Meera Mehta and Dinesh Mehta, “Metropolitan housing market: a study of Ahmedabad”, Sage Publications, 1989

Ahmedabad Slum Free City Action Plan
around 9 lakh population”. It cites the source as a survey conducted by local NGOs. It ignores
the figures of Census 2001 slum population figure of 439,843. Thus the CDP, like many other
estimates of slum population, includes the chawls and suggest that around 25 percent of
Ahmedabad population live in slums. Recent estimates, from the Census of 2011, suggest that
13 per cent of Ahmedabad’s population lives in slums. There are thus varied estimates of slum
population in Ahmedabad.
Given the various estimates of slum population in Ahmedabad, AMC decided to build its own
information on slums. It decided to carry out a household survey of all slum dwellers and map
each slum house through a total station survey. These activities were carried out during 2009-
10, much before the RAY programme was formulated.

AMC is responsible for water supply to the city. AMC has a liberal policy for granting water
connection and provides water connection irrespective of tenure status. The household survey
reveals that about 60 per cent of slum households have piped water in their premises (of these
about 10% households have stated that they share water taps with their neighbour). All the
slums in the old municipal limits are connected with the city water supply network. Slums in
ewly extended area of AMC are yet to be connected. This is a major barrier for universalizing
access to water. AMC has ongoing projects to extend services to the new area and soon all the
slums will be covered by the water supply network.
AMC provides reliable water supply for about 1½ hours a day round the year. Slums also
receive water during the same hours as the non-slum areas. Slums on the periphery, in the West
and South zones, however, face water supply problems, especially in the summer season
3.2.8 Sanitation
The slum survey shows that 62 per cent of slum dwellers have an individual toilet in their
house and about 15 per cent share toilets with their immediate neighbours. The individual
toilets are connected with the city’s sewerage. In the periphery, oilets are connected to septic
tanks. The remaining 23 per cent of slum households are dependent on community toilets and
pay-and-use toilet blocks. Paucity of space is the major constraint in providing individual toilets
to all slum households. The state government’s Nirmal Gujarat Sanitation Programme has
provided over 18,000 new toilets in the slums of Ahmedabad. Nearly 70 per cent of slum
settlements are connected with city’s sewerage. More than 64 per cent of slum houses have
drainage connection.

Provision of Housing
As per the objectives of RAY, housing conditions in slums are to be upgraded to a minimum
acceptable level of housing. Dwelling unit size of minimum 25 m2 carpet area shall be provided
with two rooms, kitchen, WC and bathroom in single or multiple storeys. During the
assessment and community consultation for various options for housing, the slum dwellers
appear to have put considerable investment in their dwelling units but may require shelter
improvement support for things such as strengthening of walls and roofs. Many houses need
incremental improvements such as addition of a room, extension of room/ kitchen, construction
of toilet block etc. to be taken care of under this programme. Transit accommodation in case of
in-situ redevelopment also needs to be considered.

AMC had decided to provide minimum essential level of service to all slums. The bare
minimum level for basic services are identified and set as under by the stakeholders. The core
criteria of providing this service will include
Page | 49
Ahmedabad Slum Free City Action Plan
It was decided that tenable slums located on public land would be taken up for in-situ
redevelopment on PPP basis, floating tenders based on the Government of Gujarat model for
such redevelopment. AMC would accord priority to those slums for which positive response
was received. If no response was received, AMC would redevelop these sites on its own
through funds from RAY.
In-situ infrastructure and housing upgradation model would be implemented based on existing
housing conditions and service level for slums located on private land. The slum would be
prioritised depending on positive response from community to take part in a redevelopment/
upgradation model and contribute their share of costs.

In addition to this there are a few slum pockets with a 3,940 hutments that have refused to be a
part of AMC’s programme. No consultation could take place in these slums and they have
opted out of the programme. In addition, five slum pockets are under litigation, where no
action can be taken until a judgment is delivered.

owners of such land by providing them accommodation in the scheme, and only commercial use shall be permitted.

transport routes, public spaces or facilities, in the vicinity of heritage properties (declared as no
construction zones), railway land and other objectionable land etc. eligible for relocation. These
need to be relocated tin safer places.
The table above shows that about 102 slum settlements are non-tenable with respect to physical
location. Thus, 22,004 new housing units (13.5% of total slum households) are required to
rehabilitate these slum dwellers to safer and more secure places.
Under JnNURM, 18,248 dwelling units have been constructed; about 14,000 units are allotted to
urban poor families (8,757 from Sabarmati riverbank and the rest from categories affected by
other projects such as BRTS, bridges, Lakefront development etc) as on 2013.

It is possible for AMC to meet the requirement to rehabilitate households from untenable
settlements.
Illustrations:
The Town Planning Scheme (TPS) has been the predominant mechanism in Gujarat to plan and
develop new urban residential areas. The mechanism is an effective alternative to land
acquisition under the Land Acquisition Act (LAA), 1894 as it is more equitable, self-financing,
and enables planned urban expansion. Under the TP scheme mechanism, the local authority
pools various owners’ land holdings, rationalizes the property boundaries and, after deducting
land for infrastructure and services, replots and allocates it back to the owners. In this process,
the local authority is required to reserve up to 10% of land for EWS housing. With nearly a
hundred TP schemes in and around Ahmedabad, AMC and AUDA have a sizeable land bank
clearly earmarked for EWS. AMC also has land under the green belt and under the vacant mills
that can be used. These are described in detail below.
In absolute quantitative terms, AMC has reserved approximately 22.64 lakh m2 area under TP
Schemes for EWS housing, to be utilized after the finalization of the draft TP. This will enable
AMC to plan the construction of new housing against future demand. These plots, in different
TP Schemes, are spread all over the city.

Ahmedabad Slum Free City Action Plan
B. 20% land acquired from closed mills to be used for the construction of EWS houses
Ahmedabad has many lands of closed mills in the vicinity of prime locations, already
developed and near the central city area and therefore highly priced. If the landowners wish to
develop such properties, then, under the General Development Control Regulations (GDCR) 4,
they have to surrender 20% of the total land area to the AMC. AMC has taken a decision to use
these plots for the construction of EWS houses and has already acquired approximately 1,28,000
m2 of land under these criteria.
• Provision of dwelling units with two rooms, kitchen, bathroom and water closet.
• Development of plots with water, sewerage and paved streets.
• Social infrastructure such as anganwadis and healths centre based on requirement.
4 According to GDCR Clause No. 10.10.2, “in case of development/ redevelopment of land of closed mills for any
permissible purpose other than use of textile mills, the competent authority shall be given 20% in aggregate of its
plot/ building units (Final Plot) by reconstitution of such plot/ building unit, so as to provide land for public
amenities/ public purpose in that area. The land so obtained shall not be used other than public purpose and public
amenities”.
Page | 56
Ahmedabad Slum Free City Action Plan
• Each block shall form a co-operative society for operation and maintenance and each
member will pay a fixed amount every month for maintenance.
This is the mainstay of the slum development strategy for Ahmedabad. Based on land
ownership, housing condition and level of infrastructure, slum redevelopment options would
be categorized as follows:
A. In-Situ Redevelopment
B. In-situ Infrastructure Upgradation
C. In-Situ Housing Upgradation
All tenable slum pockets of Ahmedabad city, except those to be relocated, will be taken up for
in-situ redevelopment/ upgradation. Based on preliminary analysis, 465 slum pockets with
1,18,000 dwelling units will be taken up under this option.
At present AMC has prioritized slums on public land for in-situ redevelopment. This includes
both strategies of redevelopment, by AMC and through PPP.
The decision on in-situ housing upgradation or only infrastructure upgradation will be taken
after consultation with the community as the shelter upgrading component will depend on the
willingness of community to contribute.
At present, there are no clear policy guidelines from Ministry of Housing and Poverty
Alleviation, Government of India, regarding housing upgradation. The current guidelines focus
on construction of new dwelling units, while in the studies conducted by CEPT-MHT, it was
demonstrated that existing shelter units can be upgraded with less investment. There also no
clear policies on upgrading slums on private lands. The issue of land tenure in Ahmedabad
slums has been studied in detail and it is shown that establishing clear land title is very difficult.
Page | 57
Ahmedabad Slum Free City Action Plan
In this context, AMC has to focus on universalizing access to basic services for all slum dwellers
as per minimum service norms adopted under SNP.
This option will allow AMC to create new housing stock by densification or by refinancing
construction cost through commercial development in low-density slums. Private sector
partnership is sought for slums at prime locations. This option will depend on the size of plot
and number of dwelling units to be built. The model also allows AMC to construct basic
infrastructure facilities like drainage lines, water supply systems, paving, road network, street
lights etc. The redevelopment strategy allows people to live in a better shelter with improved
physical environment and remain close to their places of work.
The table below shows that 105 tenable slums are located on public land, for which in-situ
redevelopment strategy will be applicable. Ten slums have already beibg taken up by private
developers and notified under the GoG’s policy on “The Regulation for the rehabilitation and
redevelopment of slums, 2010.” AMC has identified 37 slum settlements, which have the
potential to attract Private developers owing to high land value. AMC has floated an open
tender under “The regulation for the rehabilitation and redevelopment of the slums, 2013”
policy for in-situ redevelopment through PPP in 6 slum pockets. The strategy to be adopted for
redevelopment of the remaining 62 pockets will be through public funding. As part of the
implementing modality, AMC first floated tenders for these 62 slum pockets under the PPP
model. If there is no interest shown by private developers, then AMC would plan through
public funding.

AMC or the developer will provide transit-housing facilities to the slum dwellers during the
implementation period or provide adequate compensation to them for transit accommodation
during the construction period. AMC will identify the land parcel to construct transit camp.
Detailed implementation plan and phasing will be worked out to minimize the transit period.
The rehabilitation scheme shall be developed either on the same plot or on plots which are
clubbed.

• Dwelling units with all basic facilities with minimum built-up area of 36 m2 excluding
common areas. The dwelling unit shall include at least two rooms, kitchen, a bath and a
water closet, excluding, common areas, such as stairs and passages.
• Provide social infrastructure for every 500 dwelling units are as under:
• five-room school of minimum total area 100 m2
• a Community Centre of minimum area 50 m2
• an Anganwadi/ Health Post of minimum area 50 m2
• Shops of maximum size 25 m2 can be provided on the ground floor, up to maximum
25% of ground coverage.
• Parking requirement, height restrictions, common plots and all other provisions shall be
provided as per GDCR.
For the purpose of this development, the floor space shall be computed as under:
The FSI permitted under GDCR for the remaining plot shall be on the basis of Gross Building
unit/ Plot area.
As per the regulation for the rehabilitation and redevelopment of the slums, 2010
Private developer has to take consent of at least 75 per cent of the occupants of any slum
settlement being considered under the scheme. This consent shall contain willingness to join the
slum rehabilitation scheme and come together to form a co-operative housing society of eligible
hutments through a resolution to that effect. Afterwards, the private developer has to submit a
detailed proposal to competent authority for slum redevelopment.

As per the regulation for the rehabilitation and redevelopment of the slums, 2013
Under this policy, AMC will float a tender and identify the lowest bidder for the slum
redevelopment. A private developer has to quote the price for slum rehabilitation component
and land premium charges.
• The formulae for conversion of bid price of the selected developer into TDRs shall be as
follows:
TDR = (Total BUA of SRS) × (per m2 bid price/jantri value of recipient land).
• For example, if the total BUA for SRS is 50,000 m2, the per m2 quoted bid price is INR
30,000 and the jantri rate is INR 10,000/ m2, then the developer will get a TDR of (50,000)
× (30,000/10,000) = 1,50,000 m2.
TDRs shall be valued at jantri price of the recipient land. Land premium shall be viewed
with respect to jantri price. Quoted land premium for free component shall not be less
than the existing jantri price.
Transfer of FSI from one plot to the other shall be permitted proportionate to the jantri value of
respective plots in case of clubbed plot.
Irrespective of any zone, uses as proposed shall be permissible as proposed in the application
under these regulations provided that such permission can be denied by the government on
account of safety.

• The scheme developer shall be permitted to construct buildings other than those of slum
rehabilitation only after the construction of dwelling units and infrastructure relating to
slum rehabilitation is completed.
• If at any point in time it is found that the slum dweller, after the allotment under the
slum rehabilitation scheme, has encroached on any land, then the allotment under the
scheme shall stand cancelled and the dwelling unit shall be forfeited. Such dwelling unit
shall be in the ownership of the authority.

adopted by AMC for infrastructure service provision.
Aim: Universalize access to water and sanitation facilities to all slum households
Major Challenges:
• Provision of housing or housing upgradation component is not permissible in slums on
private land
• Space constraints in some slum areas for providing infrastructure
• Space non-availability for toilet construction in some slum areas

Ahmedabad Slum Free City Action Plan
Ahmedabad has had pro-poor policies and programmes since long. This has resulted in
improvement of slums areas. Over the past four decades, it is observed that the number of slum
locations in Ahmedabad has not increased. Granting that there are issues related to defining a
slum, series of surveys suggest that the proportion of slum population in Ahmedabad has been
on a decline. (Census 2011 suggests that there are only 51,000 slum households in the city).
While these numbers are problematic, it does suggest that many slum households have been
moving out of slums and many slum locations in Ahmedabad are being transformed into non-
slum areas as a result of AMC’s policies of providing infrastructure to all. In the preventive
strategies outlined below, the focus is on creating adequate supply of housing and adopting
flexible building and planning norms to enable transformation of slum housing to formal
housing.
Page | 69
Ahmedabad Slum Free City Action Plan
The housing shortage for Ahmedabad according to Census of India, 2011 has been calculated as
follows:
Thus, Ahmedabad city had a housing shortage of 1.27 lakh in beginning of the year 2012.
Against this, an average of approximately 3,500 housing stock is added per annum in the city by
private developers. Under BSUP, approximately 28,000+ dwelling units are allotted for slum
dwellers by AUDA and AMC. AMC and Gujarat Housing Board have launched subsidized
EWS, LIG, MIG and HIG housing schemes.
5Congestion Factor: Percentage of households in which at least one couple does not have a separate room
to live in. This includes households in which couples sharing rooms with member of the household aged
10+.
The Ninth Plan Working Group on Urban Housing had adopted the factor as “percentage of married
couples requiring Separate room/house”.
6Obsolescence Factor: Percentage of households in dwelling units that are 40-80 years old and in bad
condition, and percentage of households in structures that are 80+ years old, irrespective of condition of
structure, is taken together as obsolescence factor for the purpose of the report.
The Ninth Plan Working Group on Urban Housing had adopted the obsolescence factor as “percentage of
households living in 80+ years old dwelling units”

4. Growth Centres
• Development of growth centres in the villages adjoining the city as future industrial
areas. Ahmedabad DP has identified seven growth centres around the city.
• Regulated expansion of industries in the city. Allowing industrial expansion or
growth of industrial cluster outside the city.
The Ahmedabad Development Plan-2021 has proposed special affordable housing zones to
create 15 lakh affordable housing units as a part of its slum prevention strategy. The salient
features of the DP are as follows, which encourage creation of affordable housing stock to
reduce housing shortage and to meet future housing demand:
• Affordable housing zone R-AH planned in 76 km2 area encircling SP Ring Road. A 1-km
width along the road has been declared as an ‘Affordable Housing Zone’ where the
government will allow FSI of 4., if developers promotes dwelling units size of 36 m2 and
80 m2 respectively for EWS and LIG/MIG.
• Nearly 1,076 hectares area declared as high density corridor with FSI 4. Residents here
will have access to BRTS or Metro rail within 200 metres.
• Besides this, on land available from 38 closed mills, 15,00,000 new housing units are
planned. Given that these must cater to both EWS and LIG, they will be of varying sizes
between from 36 m2 to 80 m2.
• Transit-oriented development (TOD):An FSI of 4 has been proposed within the 200
metres margins of BRTS (bus) and MRTS (rail) corridors
• 218 ha land of 38 closed mills to be used for institutions, education and affordable
housing.
• Developers will be allowed to buy additional FSI in R1 and R2 residential zones, where
the existing permissible FSI is 1.8 and 1.2 respectively. The DP has allowed developers to
buy FSI up to 2.7 in R1 and up to 1.8 in R2 zones
• There will be concessions for those who make affordable houses, especially 36 m2
dwellings
Page | 72
Ahmedabad Slum Free City Action Plan
•
Affordable Residential Housing
• There is a separate General Development Control Regulation (GDCR) norm for the
walled city and for areas around the Sabarmati riverfront
• Affordable houses will be sold extra 2.2 FSI at highly concessional rates above the FSI of
1.8
In a recent study (Aneez, et.al. 2012) 7, argue that the planning and building regulations in
Ahmedabad have curtailed supply of affordable housing units. They argue that , while many
TP schemes have been started since the new DP was in place, none of them has completed the

process of converting all lots from rural to urban designation and approving new ownership
boundaries. Unlike zoning for urban use, this process takes place plot by plot and is slow and
unpredictable. They argue that the process of conversion of agriculature land to non-agriculture
use should be streamlined. In many states, land under urban development plan is deemed to be
non-agriculture, unless otherwise specified. Whereas in Gujarat, permission are required for
plot by plot conversion of agriculture to non-agriculture use.
The General Development Control Regulations, according to Aneez et. al. (2012) also requires
major revisions. They argue that, “these regulations, running to many pages, fix a number of
land use and design parameters that make formal housing voracious consumers of land—the
most expensive input to a home. Setbacks, plot coverage limitations, requirements for parking
and elevators impose upper middle class tastes on new formal development.” Unlike these
modern town planning regulations, many tradition neighborhoods in walled city of
Ahmedabad provide high density living environment that is conducive to the climate as well as
life style of people.
“Allowing more flexibility in the multiple requirements in the GDCR would offer options for
supply of lower cost formal housing, which is still safe, decent, and acceptable to cultural norms
and practices. Selective application of different standards in different neighborhoods could
open up more options for affordable formal housing. Scope to allow grandfathering of housing
that is safe and clean but not up to GDCR standards would facilitate regularizing tenure and
increase the supply of legal housing that can be mortgaged and improved using formal finance
channels.”
Considering the suggestions made above, it is proposed to make the following relaxations in
GDCR to promote private sector involvement in provision of housing facilities for EWS
housing/ Slum redevelopment schemes:
• The minimum height of the plinth shall be 45 cm from the top surface of approach road
or path way.
• The carpet area of any dwelling unit shall be minimum 25 m2.
• The dwelling unit shall at least include two rooms, kitchen, and a bath, a water closet.
• Building length can be continuous with expansion joints as required.
• Margins for the purpose of slum rehabilitation only shall be applicable as under:
Margin Low rise/Mid-rise building
Roadside margin (up to road width 9 m) 3 m.
Roadside margin (above 9 m) 4.5 m.
Other than roadside margin 3 m.
Building-to-building margin 4.5 m.
Common plot to building margin 3 m.
• Relaxation can be granted for margin from building to common plot. At present, 3 m.
and 6 m. margin are required for building height of 25 m. and more than 25 m.
Page | 74
Ahmedabad Slum Free City Action Plan
respectively (as per AMC-GDCR). It can be relaxed, up to 1.5-2 m. as the case may be for
building height up to 25 m.
• G+7 is permissible only with the condition of developer agrees to bear Operation and
Maintenance cost for a period of 5 years
• Rehabilitation scheme of G+3 or higher shall be permitted on 9.0 m. and wider roads.
• Minimum area of 200 m2 or 8% of the area of the building unit, whichever is larger, shall
be provided for common plot.
AMC has recently launched self-finance LIG housing schemes at 14 locations and EWS housing
schemes at 15 locations as part of the preventive strategy. The income criteria of eligibility for
EWS housing would be up to Rs 1 lakh per family per annum and for LIG Rs.1-2.5 lakh per
family per annum.
AMC has mobilized land from Town planning schemes and closed mill land for this purpose.

In addition to this, Gujarat Housing Board has launched schemes for HIG, MIG and LIG
categories at various locations in Ahmedabad. Government of Gujarat is also encouraging
private developers to participate in the scheme of affordable housing in partnership.

Rental Housing
A recent study by a global Real Estate agency suggests that house price to income ratio in India
is highest among Asian countries. This is the ratio of the cost of a typical upscale housing unit of
100 m2, compared to the country’s GDP per capita. Normally this ratio will be much higher in
low-income countries than in high-income countries. (Chart-1)
Page | 78
Ahmedabad Slum Free City Action Plan
landlords. These constrains vary from city to city. The demand of rental housing is so diverse in
nature that it is very hard to cater to it through a single agency. There are also some legal
obligations, because of which vacant stock is not circulated in the rental housing market.
Rental Housing can be categorized in various segments according to supplier, tenure and level
of services provided. Figure 3.6 explains the categories of rental housing in India.
Rental housing in Gujarat is 24 per cent, which lower than the stock in India. (43 %).
Ahmedabad has only 20 per cent of housing stock for renting.
Further classification of rental housing shows that houses with one room are the type most
preferred by tenants. The highest number of rented houses in the city is of one room (59%) and
houses of two rooms account for 24 per cent. The data reflects that smaller sized houses have
highest demand for renting.
Given such a low proportion of rental housing stock in Ahmedabad, no special schemes are
proposed. Instead, it is expected that with redevelopment of slums and creation of more
housing stock for the EWS and LIG category, the demand for rental housing will further reduce.
Conclusion:
Slum prevention strategies have to be proactive rather than regressive. The approach adopted
in Ahmedabad is to ensure adequate supply of affordable housing through the public and the
private sectors. As shown above, land availability for EWS housing is not a major constraint.
Under the recent development plan, many innovations have been made in relaxing the GDCR
and building regulations to provide incentives for private sector developers to build affordable
housing. Simultaneously, the strategy to improve services in existing slums will be followed.
With these strategies, it is likely that no new slums in Ahmedabad will occur.

The following table shows the finance required for achieving Slum Free City Status (inflation
index is applied on block cost):
Page | 80
Ahmedabad Slum Free City Action Plan
Under RAY, The central assistance would be 50% with a ceiling of Rs. 5 lakh per dwelling unit
including physical and social infrastructure development. The central government also
provides incentive funding if any state or city demonstrates innovative financing mechanism
through involvement of private developers.
The state share would be 28 per cent and beneficiary’s contribution 12 per cent.
RAY would not provide any central assistance for in-situ infrastructure upgradation. This has to
be financed by the city government.

The city will require on an average Rs. 87 crore per annum for the period 2013-2022 to
implement the Slum Free City Action Plan. The AMC have considered the cost for curative

The success of slum redevelopment projects partly depends on the implementation schedule
and packaging of contract arrangement.
• Physical progress reports showing details of work being done on each site, for each
activity/component
• Financial progress reports that show corresponding expenditure for each of the activity
A consolidated monthly physical and financial progress status report along with supported
document will be submitted to the Project Monitoring Unit (PMU) established at AMC and at
state level.

The operation and maintenance of the assets is very important for the sustainability of the
projects, especially projects related to the urban poor. The CBOs (Slum Dwellers Associations)
under the guidance of lead NGOs in collaboration with AMC, will be able to ensure proper
upkeep and maintenance of the created assets. It is proposed to create Residential Welfare
Associations (RWAs)/ societies to implement the O&M plan, for which community consent will
be taken. AMC would provide support to the residents’ societies to maintain the services and
infrastructures created. This is being facilitated under RAY, with central assistance extended for
bearing part of the O&M costs. These are limited to 4 per cent of the project cost, of which the
Government of India share will be half (2%). The State/ ULB have to bear the remaining cost.
This O&M fund will be utilized as a corpus fund and administered by the AMC involving the
communities.
Page | 99
Ahmedabad Slum Free City Action Plan
The O&M strategy is to be adopted majorly at three levels: 1. Household, 2. Community, and 3.
City, based on the functions and responsibilities of users and service providers.
1. Household Level:
Every household will be responsible for maintaining the infrastructure facility within its own
premises and will be bound to pay service charge, user charge, property tax, electricity bill and
corpus against the availability of services/ facilities. The individual household will be solely
responsible for periodic repairs, painting, retrofitting etc. inside the dwelling unit. AMC will be
responsible for door-to-door collection for solid waste at household level, for which individual
households would pay user charges as per existing norms.
2. Community level:
AMC will be responsible for periodic repairs and maintenance of services such as water supply,
drainage network, street lighting, road-paving etc. using the O&M corpus created under RAY.
The Community/ RWA/ Society will be responsible for payment of electricity bills for the
functioning of various infrastructural services like pumping of water from common storage to
household level, providing electricity within the common area etc. through contribution. The
Community/ RWA/ Society will look after the assets created under this scheme such as park,
open space, garden, anganwadi, community hall etc.
3. City Level
AMC will be responsible for operation and maintenance of the trunk network for water supply,
sewerage, stormwater, solid waste management, public transport, road network connecting to
the slum location etc. AMC will carry out all these activities through its own revenue streams
under the existing budgetary process.
