1 INTRODUCTION
Urbanisation is one of the most glaring realities of the 21st century. All over the world, people are
moving towards the cities. The bright lights of the cities, the perception that cities give greater
opportunities and the desire to be at the heart of a ‘fast life’ is drawing people to cities. India is
home to some of the world’s largest cities.
Urbanisation levels in India are increasing. From 28.1% of the population in 2001, we now have
31.16% of the population living in urban areas. The urbanisation in India as elsewhere, has
catapulted cities as the engines of national development, a source of employment. Urbanisation is
unequivocal, hence it is better we accept it as an opportunity. We have to strike a balance between
the urban and non-urban areas that will take nation to further heights of progress in the 21st
century.
The state of Gujarat is not untouched by the phenomena of fast urbanisation. State is accelerating
towards the process of urbanisation and modernisation due the fast growing economy of the State.
The rapid pace of industrialisation during the past five decades in Gujarat is one of the prime factors
contributing to urban growth. With the total population of 6.03 crores (10th most populous Indian
state), the urban population has risen from 37% in 2001 to 43% in 2011, making it one of the fastest
growing urbanized states.
Diamond city Surat's population grew from 2.8 million in 2001 to 4.5 million in 2011 — a
phenomenal rise of 58.68%. Surat is Gujarat's 2nd most populas city, India's 8th most populas city. It
is the 73rd largest urban area in the world. Surat ranks 4th fastest growing city in a global study of
fastest developing cities conducted by The City Mayors Foundation, an international think tank on
urban affairs. In fact, it is the fastest growing Indian city in terms of economic prosperity. Surat
gained fame and recognition for being the '3rd Cleanest City' in India in 2011, awarded by INTACH. In
2013 Surat was conferred with two awards 'Best Urban City of India' and 'Best City to Live in India'
constituted by Annual Survey of India's City-Systems (ASICS). UK-based charity, The Ecological
Sequestration Trust (TEST) in 2013, has selected Surat as one of the three cities in the world, to be
developed as 'Global Eco-cities'.
Backed by a dynamic team of officials and with the unwavering support of the people, Surat Urban
Development Authority (hereinafter referred to as “SUDA”) - is all set to take top class facilities to
the villages so that both urban and rural areas can effectively contribute in our quest for sustainable
and inclusive development of an important industrial hub and commercial centre of the country
today.
The preparation of 'Development Plan 2035' was initiated in 2013. Based on the primary and
secondary data available, the Status Survey Report was prepared for the old SUDA boundary
comprising of SMC and 95 villages admeasuring 715 sq.km. Before this draft Development Plan could
be submitted under section 9, the State Government in Urban Development and urban Housing
Department by the notification dt. 9.12.2015 and 18.12.2015 extended the limits of SUDA boundary
by adding another surrounding 100 villages. This increased the SUDA's jurisdiction to 1351 sq.km.
SURAT URBAN DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY | P a g e |1

Since the status survey report of SMC area and 95 villages was already prepared, a separate chapter
for additional 100 villages has been added at the end of this in chapter 7.
It is also necessary to mention that the State Government has framed The Gujarat Metropolitan
Planning Committees Act, 2008 ( Guj. 18 of 2008) and has also come into force. By the notification
dated 11/03/2016, the Surat Metropolitan area has been declared under the said Act, 2008 which
includes the SMC and Sachin Municipality area. The Metropolitan Committee for Surat was also
constituted by the notification of the State Government dt. 11/03/2016 except for the elected
members. The Draft Development Plan to be framed under the provisions of the Gujarat
Metropolitan Planning Committees Act, 2008, is not in place as on today. Thus, the Draft
Development Plan – 2035 of SUDA which is prepared under the provisions of the Gujarat Town
Planning and Urban Development Act, 1976 is being submitted to State Government under section 9
and is to be published under section 13 of this Act.
1.1 URBANIZATION IN GUJARAT

Urbanization in Gujarat has been on the rise ever since Gujarat was declared as a separate state in
1960, about 55 years ago. As per 1961 census, only 25.77% of the population was living in the urban
areas of Gujarat which rose to 42.6% as per the recent census of 2011. Only two states, Tamilnadu
(46%) and Maharashtra (45%) are more urbanized than Gujarat.
Figure 1: District Map of Gujarat state
About 75% of the total urban population of the State is living in the 8 Municipal Corporations. Surat
Municipal Corporation (SMC from here on) is the second largest Municipal Corporation in the State
after Ahmedabad.

1.2 HISTORICAL BACKGROUND OF SURAT

Surat - an important industrial hub and commercial centre of the country today boasts of a great
historical and cultural heritage. The city of Surat has glorious history that dates back to 300 BC. The
history of Surat takes us back to the epic age of Mahabharata and Ramayana. According to
mythological beliefs, Lord Krishna stopped in the city during his journey from Mathura to Dwarka.
According to The Editors of Encyclopaedia Britannica (Last Updated 13.12.2013), the great explorer
Hiuen Tsang referred the Surat City as 'Sowrata' and described it as a business town on the shore of
Arabian Sea near Gujarat. The Brahmin Pundits of the 13th century called the city as 'Suryapur'.
The city is believed to have been founded by a Brahmin named Gopi, who built the Gopi Tank (water
reservoir) in 1516 and named the area 'Surajpur' or 'Suryapur'. He developed and improved the city
with the establishment of place called 'Gopipura'. During this period Surat was described as city of
great trade. The city was divided into two parts, old and new. The old city pattern developed with
administrative centre at Chowk on bank of river Tapi. Trade and business were concentrated in
Chowk bazaar and Mulla chowk. The inner wall city was mostly developed as an administrative
centre and as a specialize market.
In 1520, it was named 'Surat'. It was plundered by Muslims in the 12th and 15th centuries. In 16th
century, Surat become a victim of various raids. In 1514 the Portuguese traveller Duarte Barbosa
described Surat as a leading port. The Portuguese raided Rander and Surat between 1530 and 1535

and burnt the port. On account of these raids, King Akbar build the fort of Surat in 1540-46; evidence
of which can be found even today. Surat regained its prosperity as a modern city during the later
part of the sixteenth century. The Surat Port was considered important by the European traders. The
British and the Portuguese waged battles against each other to gain supreme control over the
trading route. The French and the Dutch also arrived in the city with merchandising objectives. In
past this was a glorious port with ships of more than 84 countries anchored in its harbour at any
time. Surat thereafter became the emporium of India, exporting cloth and gold. Its major industries
were textile manufacture and shipbuilding. The British established their first Indian factory (trading
post) at Surat (1612). The city gradually declined throughout the 18th century. The British and Dutch
both claimed control, but in 1800 its administration was passed to the British. It prospered again
with the opening of India’s railways. The ancient art of manufacturing fine muslin was revived, and
Surat’s cottons, silks, brocades, and objects of gold and silver became famous. The Tapi River grew
into a major port for exports and as an important stopover for Muslim pilgrims bound for Mecca. By
the early years of the 18th century, Surat had become a prosperous city with many weaving and
spinning mills, textile and paper factories. Surat was also a flourishing centre for ship building
activities. The whole coast of Tapi between current locations of Athwalines and Dumas was specially
meant for ship builders. As the British developed Mumbai into a major port and administrative
centre, Surat faced a severe blow and its ship building industry also declined. By the mid-19th century
Surat was a stagnant city of 80,000 inhabitants. During the post-independence period, Surat has
experienced considerable growth in industrial activities (especially textiles) along with trading
activities. Concentration of these activities combined with residential developments has resulted in
considerable expansion of the city limits. Modern Surat’s main claim to fame is its position as the
centre of diamond processing for the world diamond industry.
Surat is now considered one of the cleanest city of India and is also known by several other names
like 'The Silk City', 'The Diamond City', 'The Green City', etc. It has the most vibrant present and an
equally varied heritage of the past. Some of the important historical events related to the present
SMC is tabulated below.

1.3 LOCATION AND LINKAGES
Surat city is located on the southern part of Gujarat state in the western India. It lies near the mouth
of the Tapti River at the Gulf of Khambhat (Cambay). It is one of the most dynamic city of India with
one of the fastest growth rate due to immigration from various part of Gujarat and other states of
India. It is major urban centre on the Ahmedabad-Mumbai regional corridor. The city has grown on
both the sides of river Tapi.
Regional setting of SUDA is shown in Figure – 3.
Figure 3: Regional context of SUDA within Gujarat

Surat is well connected by
road and rail with major
cities and town of the
states as well as
neighbouring states of
Maharashtra and Madhya
Pradesh. Surat is well
connected to one of the
busiest Delhi – Mumbai
National Highway No. 8. It
is located on the western
side of this National
Highway No. 8. It is
approximately 300 km in
south from the State
capital Gandhinagar and
about 250 km from Ahmedabad. Vadodara is 170 km north of Surat. Mumbai is 260 km in south.
The spatial extent of SUDA admeasures 715 sq.km.
Main railway station in Surat is located near the city centre. For the air linkage there is domestic
airport within the boundary of SUDA. Nearest international airports are at Ahmedabad and Mumbai
almost equidistant at about 250 km.
The SUDA area is located between latitudes 21º03’ and 21º19’ North and longitudes 72º41’ and
73º00’ East which covers 715 sq.km. It is 13 m above mean sea level.
Within a periphery of 25 km from the boundary of SUDA, there are 3 urban centers Municipalities
(namely Olpad in the north-western part, Navsari in the southeast and Bardoli to the west. The
Bharuch Ankleshwar Urban Development Authority(BAUDA) is located in the northern direction.

1.3.1 SPATIAL EXTENT & GROWTH OF SMC
On 1st October, 1966; when the Surat Municipality got the status of Municipal Corporation, it was
only 8.18 sq.km. By 1971, the SMC area increased to 33.90 sq.km. After four years in 1975, the
northern area at Ved, Dhabholi and Singhanpore were included in the SMC area, increasing the SMC
area to 55.70 sq.km. After 11 years, in 1986 the SMC area was again expanded by including the area
of Nana Varachha, Majura, Bhatar, Althan, Umra, Piplod, Jahangirabad, Jahangirpura. The area of
SMC was 110 sq. km. in 1986. In 1994 its jurisdiction was extended to cover 112.28 sq.km. In 2006,
the state Government in a major decision extended the jurisdiction of SMC by almost 3 times.Today,
Figure 6: Spatial Extent of SMC
SMC cover an area of 326.52 sq.km.
When the SUDA was constituted in 1978, at that time its jurisdiction of 722 sq.km; including
administrative boundary of SMC (admeasuring 55.70 sq.km.) and surrounding administrative
boundaries of 148 Gram Panchayats (admeasuring 666.30 sq. km.). Later on, in 1979, the Delad
village of Kamraej taluka was deleted from the list of villages included in the development area as
this village was not in contiguity. So, the jurisdiction of SUDA was limited to 715 sq. km. The present
jurisdiction of SUDA still extends to 715 sq.km. which includes the area under SMC and now
surrounding 95 villages. Since the constitution of SUDA in 1978, the boundary of SUDA has not
changed but the spatial extent of SMC has increased over a period of time from 1978 to 2011. The
change in area of SMC and surrounding villages within the jurisdiction of SUDA since its constitution
is shown in the Table below. At present in the SUDA area almost 45% is the jurisdiction of SMC.

1.4.3 JURISDICTION OF SUDA

When SUDA was constituted in 1978, the jurisdiction of SUDA included the area of then Surat
Municipal Corporation (55.70 sq.km.) and surrounding 148 villages (666.30 sq.km.) spanning over 4
Talukas of Surat District admeasuring total of 722 sq.km. In 1979, Delad village of Kamrej taluka was
deleted from the list and accordingly the total area of SUDA becomes 715 sq.km.
In 2006, the area of Surat Municipal Corporation was substantially extended whereby some villages
of SUDA area were merged with the boundary of SMC. Now, the jurisdiction of SUDA includes the
area of SMC (326.52 sq.km.) and surrounding 95 villages (388.48 sq.km.). Thus, SUDA has two major
planning components viz., SMC area and surrounding 95 Gram Panchayats.

The other metro city of Gujarat is Ahmedabad. In 1978, the State Government constituted the
Ahmedabad Urban development Authority (AUDA) also for the area including Ahmedabad Municipal
Corporation and surrounding 333 villages admeasuring (888 sq.km.) The area of AUDA was extended
in 2009 by which 68 surrounding villages were added. Now the jurisdiction of AUDA extends to 1800
sq.km. Considering the recent census data available, the SUDA is compared with the AUDA to have a
glimpse of the demographic profile of these two development authorities, having the state’s two
largest metropolitan city.

1.5 PLANNING PRELUDE
The modern history of town planning in Gujarat dates back to early part of the twentieth century,
when the erstwhile Bombay Presidency took the lead in enacting the first town planning legislation
in the country viz. The Bombay Town Planning Act, 1915, which came into force on 6 th March 1915.
This Act mainly provided for the preparation of town planning schemes (TP Scheme) for areas in
course of development within the jurisdiction of local authority i.e. within municipal limits. After
independence, the recognition of the need for viewing urban development as one whole integrated
development was felt. It was observed that the TP schemes prepared under the 1915 Act, resulted in
the piecemeal planning, having no relation with the adjoining areas. Thus, to have a planned
development of every square inch of the land within the municipal limits, the need for another
enactment was unavoidable. This leads to the enactment of The Bombay Town Planning Act, 1954.
The concept of 'Development Plan' was introduced for the first time, as the main planning
instrument, retaining the TP Scheme for implementation of the Development Plan. Around mid-
seventies, due to rapid industrial growth, coupled with increasing level of urbanization, it was
observed that even the Act of 1954 had not been adequate for the comprehensive and meaningful
planning of the urban areas. The realization that the preparation of a Development Plan only for
areas confined to the municipal boundaries would not meet the challenges of urban development,
which usually spilled over beyond municipal boundaries, the Gujarat Town Planning and Urban
Development Act, 1976 along with the Rules was enacted in the state which made the provision for
formation of Urban / Area Development Authorities. This Act came into force from 1.2.1978.
Accordingly, SUDA was constituted by the State Government notification of 30.01.1978.
Figure 7: Past Planning Effort Development Plan 1986 and 2004
Under the provisions of this 1976 Act, SUDA prepared its first development plan which came into
force from 31.01.1986. Since as per section 21 of the Act, the development plan is to be revised once
in 10 years, SUDA prepared the revised development plan in 1997 which ultimately sanctioned in
2004 and came into force from 15.09.2004. As part of implementation of development plan SUDA
has prepared 23 Town Planning Schemes and SMC has prepared 129 TP schemes.

2 METHODOLOGY
2.1 INTRODUCTION
The Draft Development Plan 2035 is prepared with the objective to formulate a meaningful physical
development plan to regulate and guide the urban growth in the development authority area in a
planned and healthy manner as per the provisions indicated in the Gujarat Town Planning and Urban
Development Act - 1976 and Gujarat Town Planning and Urban Development Rules - 1979. As per
this Act, the Development plan shall be indicating the manner in which the use of land shall be
regulated and the manner in which the development therein shall be carried out.
The exercise is taken based on the aim and objectives set out for the development plan for catering
to the projected population of next 20 years i.e. up to 2035.
2.2 PROCESS
Process of preparation of draft development plan involves generating the up-to-date land use map
of the development area using revenue maps. This time the base map and the existing land use map
of the SUDA area including the SMC area has been prepared using the recent satellite imageries
(2012) with the help of GIS technology in 1:2000 scale. Land use survey was done to identify the
directions of physical growth. After preparing the base map and undertaking the land use survey,
ultimately a database shall be developed in GIS.
The preparation of the Draft Development Plan started with the assessment of the existing
conditions and accounting for the potential resources and constraints. The assessment is done in
terms of urbanization of the State, region and of the study area. Satellite imageries were used to
assess the land cover and land use of the study area for studying the spatial extent of land under
agricultural use, forest, water logged, built-up area \ use, open land etc. Assessment of existing
housing stock, built area and social as well as physical infrastructure available to the people was
undertaken. The extent of implementation of the development plan in force was also studied to
know how much is achieved as per the plan proposal and where the market force has not allowed
developing as per the proposals.
For the preparation of the Draft Development Plan, a number of study groups were formed for
arriving at the proposals of the Draft Development Plan. All the background papers on technical
aspects were put up before the Core Committee for their consideration and approval. The Core
Committee also obtained advice and assistance of a number of other experts and officials and
utilized their experience and knowledge in their respective fields. Following eight sub- committees
were formed as shown in the Figure 8 below.

CORE COMMITTEE
SC-5 : Traffic and Transportation proposals
SC-6 : Infrastructure Planning & ORR Implications

SC-8 : Industry Trade & Commerce
The assessment was made on the basis of secondary data collected from various agencies, on-the-
spot surveys, studying the existing urban development policies of the State and on the basis of views
expressed in the brain storming sessions of eight sub-committees of experts,formed by SUDA. The
stakeholders were taken into confidence by organizing the workshops to know the issues at the
grassroot level which are affecting the general public. Extensive public consultations were carried
out at different stages of the Development Plan. The inputs from the consultations were studied and
reviewed in detail, objectives to fulfil the vision are formulated based on the inferences from the
stake holdings.
Conceptualization for planning the SUDA area was based on the above assessment. Proper
distribution of the residential, industrial, commercial zone, as well as open and recreational spaces is
to be suggested to evolve overall urban form for entire SUDA area for the year 2035.
The preparation of Draft Development Plan included the planning for the following:
A) Land Management
1) Land- use, for proper utilization of land for residential, commercial, industrial, institutional,
recreation, transportation, agricultural & allied usages.
2) Housing, having proposals for supply of housing with infrastructure development and
strategies for overall improvement.
3) Traffic and transportation, with long and short term strategies to take up development
phase wise.

4) Development control regulations, for proposed and anticipated development pattern
considering the holistic and integrated growth.
B) Infrastructure Development
1) Water Resources Development and Drainage

2) Solid Waste Management
3) Assessment of social infrastructure including education, health, recreation and community
facilities
4) Utility services for water supply, sewerage, drainage, electricity, etc.
C) Economic
1) Augmentation of financial resources

2) Investment plan
3) Estimates of revenue and resources with respect to implementation of different stages of
Draft Development Plan
2.3 DETAILED METHODOLOGY

Following is the detailed methodology adopted for the preparation of draft development plan.
2.3.1 DIGITAL BASE MAP CREATION

Preparation of base map is the most important task in preparation of any development plan. The
remote sensing techniques were used for preparation of the base map of SUDA area. It involves:
1. 0.6 m resolution Pan Sharpened Multi-spectral Quickbird satellite imageries of 2012

procured by SMC from NRSA Hyderabad and revenue base maps of all the villages
coming under development plan area were obtained.
2. Carrying out DGPS Survey in all villages taking 2 points per village.
3. Rectification and geo referencing of the satellite imagery using DGPS control survey.
4. Geo-referencing, digitization, and mosaic of revenue maps. The revenue sheets were
properly digitised and edge matched to form revenue villages and mosaic to form
the Draft Development Plan Area.
5. Block No. level spatial database generation of the rectified digital revenue maps.
6. Surveys were carried out for existing land use data collection.
7. Interpretation of satellite imagery with ground verification to prepare the digital
base map and existing land use map in GIS format.
8. Ground validation by field surveys: Validation to confirm the exiting land use
9. Quality checking.
10. Attachment of attribute data
11. The GIS database with revenue cadastral, imageries and image derived land use is
developed on ArcGIS platform.
12. Survey of India topographic map is mainly used for the preparation of base map like
transportation networks, water bodies location, etc. As a reference map (Software
used ESRI-Arc GIS, AutoCAD, ERDAS).

The geo-database is proposed to be developed on ArcGIS platform as a desktop application for
viewing, querying and reporting of various spatial and non-spatial information, within the
development authority area. The GIS database is to be prepared with mutually registered layers
generated from cadastral maps, satellite image, field survey inputs, existing land use, proposed land
use, etc.
2.3.2 FIELD SURVEY, DATA COLLECTION

 Review of extent of implementation of Revised Development Plan 2004 was done.
 The regional resource potentials of the hinterland was studied in detail in the
context of major economic activities, broad land use, major transportation and
communication network, tourism potentials, heritage preservation, regional level
infrastructure facilities and broad environmental, ecological and conservation
measures.
 The micro level study of land use and infrastructure developments including solid
waste management.
 Sample household survey was undertaken for socio economic data i.e. demography,
housing, physical and social infrastructure besides the census data of 1991, 2001 and
2011 (secondary source data).
 Survey was undertaken to quantify the travel need, road network inventory, traffic
volume, assessing passenger terminals, commuter survey of IPT, parking at critical
areas, OD survey and goods transport for preparing traffic and transportation plan.
 Existing development control regulations and its implementation was analyzed to
identify the gaps and necessary modifications are suggested.
 Economic base study of industries, commercial and tourism activities were done.
 All the data mentioned above were compiled and analyzed to identify the trends,
potentialities and issues of the core (SMC area) and peripheral areas (outside SMC)
of the development area.
 Resources mobilization for plan implementation has been suggested.
2.3.3 PREPARATION OF STATUS REPORT

The Status Report was prepared and was presented in the interactive workshop / seminar before the
stake holders.
2.3.4 PREPARATION OF DRAFT DEVELOPMENT PLAN

After getting feedback from Interactive Workshop / Seminar, the Draft Development Plan was
prepared including the General Development Control Regulations- GDCR.

The proposals included:
Table 8: Proposals for Draft Development Plan 2035
Sr. No. Category
1 Land use Plan
2 Traffic and Transportation
3 Water Resources Development and Drainage
4 Environment
5 Solid waste Management
6 Social Infrastructure
6 Zoning Regulation
8 Utility Services
9 Economic Plan
All the development proposals is translated over revenue maps by adopting GIS with detail database
of land use and other planning information. This database is also integrated / geo-referenced with
the satellite imagery for viewing. Later on, MIS shall be evolved for review and monitoring on-going
development over the GIS data base prepared.
The final stage in preparation of the Draft Development Plan is the formation of the policies and
proposals; this is done by accessing the gaps and deriving the demands for future. This involves the
proposals for land use zoning, urban services both physical and social and policies in terms of the
General Development Regulations for controlling the developmental activities within the Authority
area.
With the completion of the preparation of the Draft Development Plan, a copy is send to the State
Government as per the requirement under section 9 of the Act. The next step is the publication of
theDraft Development Plan in the official gazette of the Government of Gujarat under section 13 and
inviting objections and suggestions from the general public.

3 BASE MAP PREPARATION
3.1 INTRODUCTION
Base map essentially is a map depicting background reference information such as landforms, roads,
landmarks, and political boundaries, onto which other thematic information is placed. Preparation of
base map is the most important task in preparation of any development plan. The base map forms
the foundation on which the planning proposals are superimposed for the development of the city.
3.2 CONVENTIONAL BASE MAP

Earlier, two development plans were prepared using the conventional method. The first base map
for development plan was hand drafted and the base map for first revision of development plan was
made using AutoCAD.
Figure 9: Conventional Base Maps
3.3 DIGITAL BASE MAP

The remote sensing techniques were used for the first time in preparation of the digital base map of
the SUDA area. All the village and ward maps, TP scheme maps were converted to one single digital
format which was then geo-referenced. All the different maps were put together to form one
complete map, errors were identified and rectification was done followed by attaching layers of
different types of information. All the TP area and non TP area maps were digitized, geo-referenced
and put together to form the final base map. A complete list of data layers attached to the base map
is provided at the end of this subsection.

2. Carrying out DGPS Survey in all villages taking 2 points per village.
3. Rectification and geo referencing of the satellite imagery using DGPS control survey.
4. Geo-referencing, Digitization, and mosaic and of revenue maps. The revenue sheets
were properly digitised and edge matched to form revenue villages and mosaic to
form the Development Plan Area.
5. Block No. level spatial database generation of the rectified digital revenue maps.
6. Surveys were carried out for existing land use data collection.

7. Interpretation of satellite imagery with ground verification to prepare the digital
base map and existing land use map in GIS format.
8. Ground validation by field surveys: Validation to confirm the exiting land use.
9. Quality checking.
10. Attachment of attribute data.
11. The GIS database with revenue cadastral, imageries and image derived land use is
developed in ArcGIS platform.
Visual interpretation techniques were used to interpret the satellite image, which is the main input
data for preparation of Landuse / Landcover map of the area. Survey of India topographic map is
mainly used for the preparation of base map like transportation networks, water bodies location,
etc. as a reference map. (Software used ESRI-Arc GIS, AutoCAD and ERDAS).
The geo-database is proposed to be developed on ArcGIS platform as a desktop application for

viewing, querying and reporting , various spatial and non-spatial information within the
development authority area. The GIS database is to be prepared with mutually registered layers
generated from cadastral maps, satellite image, field survey inputs, existing land use, proposed land
use, etc.
Following is the list of data layers attached to the base map:
 Authority Name
 Taluka Name
 Zone Name (in SMC Area)
 Ward Name (in SMC Area)
 Village Name
 Plot Status (Survey No./Block No./ City Survey No./FP No.)
 Plot No
 TP Status
 TP.No.
 TP Name
 OP Number
 Existing Land Use
 Proposed Zone
3.4 ADVANTAGE OF GIS MAP

1. A GIS map facilitates for analysis of different themes and used for preparation of
plan proposals.
2. GIS improve the decision-taking process.
3. GIS enables the user to obtain rapid access to what he requires and, at the same
time, to check that his requirements will not impinge unduly on the interests of
others.

4. The GIS allows most kinds of basic statistical spatial analysis to be carried out with
relative ease.
5. The GIS will enable a comparative analysis of the dynamics of different land use
interests and its flexible data handling capabilities are of central importance in
helping to produce the overall assessment of input to the strategy being explored for
preparation of Land-use map.

4 REVIEW OF SANCTIONED DEVELOPMENT PLAN 2004
4.1 INTRODUCTION
Before framing the policies and proposals of the Draft Development Plan of SUDA, it was be
essential to review the goals, policies and proposals of the Sanctioned Development Plan of SUDA
2004 so that achievements made and the shortfalls observed could be considered while framing the
proposals of the Draft Development Plan of SUDA 2035. This chapter discusses in detail the
objectives and policies of Sanctioned Development plan 2004. It also analyzes in detail, the projects
and implementation of the projects and proposals of Sanctioned Development Plan in the past
decade.
4.2 REVIEW OF AIMS AND OBJECTIVES OF THE SANCTIONED
4.2.1 DEVELOPMENT PLAN

After the constitution of SUDA in 1978, the first development Plan; as per the provisions of the
Gujarat Town Planning and Urban Development Act, 1976 was sanctioned by the State Government
in 1986 which came into force from 3rd March, 1986. As per the provisions of section 21 of the Act,
the development plan is to be revised once in 10 years. SUDA started the process of revision of this
principal development plan and accordingly published the draft of the first development plan in
1996 within 10 years. The draft development plan was ultimately sanctioned by the State
Government in 2004 which came into force form 15th September, 2004. This is the DP which is under
implementation and refereed as DP -2004 hence onward.
The proposals of DP-2004, was based on the following broad principles.
1. To minimize the spread of urbanization in agriculturally rich fertile irrigated area and
to utilize the maximum khar land for future urbanization.
2. Urban growth along the main corridors.
3. Identify new development areas to ease the pressure on Surat city.
4. Better environmental living condition by maximum utilization of existing
infrastructure.
The main objective of the DP-2004 was to achieve efficient functioning by restructuring the city, by
means of conservation, redevelopment or new development with long term perspective to guide
future development. One of the important considerations while formulating the DP-2004 proposals
was to protect the best of existing character of Surat and to develop its structure and suggest
appropriate measures to overcome remedies obstructing the healthy growth of city. The DP-2004
had identified following 9 objectives that focused on various aspects of creating good living
environment, providing effective infrastructure, augmentation of financial resources, coordination of
various developmental activities, etc.

1. To create definite urban form.
2. To establish supportive transport network with regards to existing city and regional
network with which effective mass-transportation system can be developed.
3. To develop residential (hub) nodes with self-sufficient infrastructure and amenities
to ease the pressure on the main city.
4. To aim for evolving poly-nucleated structure for the area as against the present
mono centre structure keeping in view development in urban fringe area.
5. To identify and suggest possible water resources and indicate possible drainage
disposal system for over all urban area.
6. To take into consideration the impact of the heavy industrial growth in HADA area,
increasing port activities, development activity like O.N.G.C., KRIBHCO, etc. in
Ichchhapore and to identify the activities in the vicinity of these planned area.
7. To develop environmental balanced planning with provision of open spaces,
recreational areas, amusements parks catering to the regional needs as a whole.
8. To identify and suggest preservation of historical monuments and architectural
heritage.
9. To regulate and control the development in the planned manner.
Considering need for economical use of urban land, the overall density of 240 PPH was envisaged for
future development of SMC area and 80 PPH for SUDA area excluding SMC area. Approximately 187
sq.km. area from SUDA limit along with 112.28 sq.km. of SMC area totalling approximately 300
sq.km. area was proposed for future urbanization for the projected population of 2011 in the DP –
2004. The proposed urbanization area of SUDA was broadly divided in Residential, Commercial,
Industrial, Educational and Recreational zones.
In the past decade, significant work has been done towards achieving these aims and objectives.
Below is an assessment of the work and the projects that have taken place since 2004.
4.2.2 GROWTH AND DISTRIBUTION OF POPULATION IN URBAN AND RURAL

AREA FOR 2011
During preparation of the proposal for the DP in 1996, the official census data of 1991 was
considered according to which the population of whole SUDA area was only 18 lakhss. All the
projections and proposals were made on the basis of census data of 1971, 1981 and 1991. After the
epedemic plague in 1994, major initiatives for development were taken in SMC area and
employment opportunities were generated leading to population explosion particularly in the
municipal corporation area. The projected population fell short of the actual population as per 2001
census for both the areas of SMC as well as the area of SUDA excluding SMC. The census of 2001
recorded the population of SUDA at more than 31 lakhss although in the DP -2004 had projected
only 27.50 lakhss. In the subsequent decade, the population of SMC increased dramatically. The
total population of SUDA as projected in DP-2004 for 2011 was only 42 lakhss and actual as per
census 2011, it is about 6 lakhss more than what was projected. Thus, the population projections in
the sanctioned DP of 2004 fall short of the actual population growth in the last two decades.

4.2.4 PUBLIC PARTICIPATION FOR COMPREHENSIVE DEVELOPMENT OF

URBANISABLE AREA
As per the provisions of the Act, the Development Plan proposals are implemented through the
mechanism of Town Planning Schemes where public participation is extensively involved at each and
every stage of planning. As per the Sanctioned Development Plan-2004 the total Urban area
proposed i.e. 365.11 sq.km. was comprised of different land uses such as Residential, Commercial,
Industrial and recreational uses. Town Planning schemes were prepared for these zones.

Before the extension of SMC boundary in 2006, SUDA had prepared 45 TP Schemes, then all these
planned area were merged in the SMC limit and now SMC is implementing these schemes. The
details of area under TP scheme and percentage of urban area developed are shown in the Table
below. Under the Development Plan -2004, total 129 TP schemes were prepared for the area under
SMC and a total of 23 TP schemes were prepared for area under SUDA.

4.2.5 EFFECTIVE TRANSPORTATION NETWORK

With a view to have efficient transportation system as well as to avoid the congestion at important
road junctions various new roads, bridges, flyovers, underpasses in SUDA were proposed in the
Development Plan - 2004. Surat is known as city of flyovers. The implementation status is shown in
the following table no. 12.

4.2.6 90 M WIDE OUTER RING ROAD
As discussed earlier, the Development Plan which is in force as of now was based on the census data
of 1991 and population projected for 2011 was only 42 lakhss which has now reached to about 50
lakhss as per 2011 census. In this revised Development Plan -2004, the ring road was not envisaged
when it was sent to the State Government for sanction in 1996.
The increasing population has generated lot of industrial, commercial, recreational educational and
other activities. The demand for residential areas has also increased to cater to the fast growing
population. Considering the traffic and transportation need of the rapidly growing Surat city the
need for the comprehensive and integrated approach toward traffic and transportation planning
was strongly felt. Keeping the future expansion of the fast growing city of Gujarat in mind, SUDA
planned, a 90 m wide 66-km long outer ring road on the periphery of the city. This road will provide
easy access to all parts of the mega city and also in the future to the twin city of Surat and Navsari.
The land use along this outer ring road is conceptualized so that the city gives the look of the mega
city with sky line giving competition to the developed cities of India as well as the world.
Out of the 66 Km length of this road, 29 km is proposed in the SMC area while rest of the 37 km
passes through 27 villages of the SUDA area. The alignment of 90 m wide outer ring broad is
proposed in such a manner that about 37 km is proposed on the existing National Highway (20 km)
and State Highway (17 km) which are in fact part of the 60m wide road proposed in revised
Development Plan. The rest of the 29 km north – south stretch on the eastern side of SUDA area is
proposed as new alignment in the Agricultural Zone. SUDA decided to develop the 29 km of the
proposed 90 m wide outer ring road which is passing through the agricultural zone in the First phase
so that the ring can be completed with the 37 km of the existing portion of the NH and SH by means
of preparing 11 TP Schemes. For preparing the TP Schemes, 500 m on both the sides of the ring road
alignment is converted to the special residential zone so that the TP schemes can be prepared as per
the provisions of the Act, 1976. The draft TP Schemes have been prepared and submitted to Govt
for sanction. The eight draft schemes of SUDA and draft schemes of SMC were sanctioned by the
State Government in March, 2016.
SUDA decided to get the possession of road by virtue of TP schemes and for developing the world
class infrastructure, major portion of the finance to be generated by charging the developer 40
percent of the prevailing Jantri rate for the F.S.I. to be used more than 0.6 and up to 4. Some finance
could also be generated by selling the plots allotted to the appropriate authority for the purpose of
sale and also by the way of incremental contribution.
4.2.7 RESERVATION DEVELOPED

After the DP -2004 came into force, as per the provision of section 19 of the Act, variations in this
sanctioned development plan proposals were made at different point of time in the public interest
by the State Government as indicated in the list below:

Table 13: Details of reservations under DP 2004
Total no of Reservations No. 285
Area 59.82 sq.km.
Reserved for SMC No. 208
Area 17.04 sq.km.

Area 15.35 sq.km.
Deleted Reservations u/s 19 No. 13
Area 0.66 sq.km.
No. of Reservations Still Existing No. 173
Area 43.91 sq.km.
Total 285 number of reservations were proposed in DP 2004. Out of these 285, 13 reservations with
an area of 0.66 sq.km. were deleted.
4.3 OBSERVATIONS
» The population growth of the city was 6 lakhss persons higher and faster than the
anticipated growth in the DP 2004.
» There is still a 92 sq.km. of land available for development within Residential zones
through micro level planning mechanisms in the zones in the sanctioned development
plan of 2004. This can be helpful to accommodate the future growth of the city.

5 PHYSICAL FEATURES
5.1 PHYSIOGRAPHICAL CONDITIONS

The city of Surat is located on banks of Tapi river. The area within SUDA has a gradual slope towards
the western and southern side of the city, having a natural drainage system towards Tapi River. The
coastal area of south western side slopes towards Mindhola River. The city is divided in two parts by
Tapi river. The development in the SUDA area has taken place on both the sides of the river. The
coastal line at Hazira, Mora, Damka, Limla, Dumas, Bhimpore, Abhawa, Gavier, Sarsana and Vesu i.e.
the land between the mouth of river Tapi and Mindhola is at low elevation.
The altitude of Surat is around 13 m above mean sea level.
5.2 FLOOD PRONE AREAS

Surat lies in the flood plain and also lies in an estuarial region. There are number of creeks in the
south- western part of the city. The city has been historically susceptible to flooding. Development
of Surat in the past has been affected a number to times due to the high flood in Tapi.
Flood risk exposure and vulnerability of the city has increased over the past few decades. Flood in
the year 2006 covered almost the entire city and affected nearly two-third of the Surat city
population. Since the altitude of Surat is less than 13 m above mean sea level, even with a sea level
rise of one meter, the area under high tide zone particularly western parts of the city which are less
than 10 m above mean sea level may be highly impacted. Now with the Ukai dam and the flood
embankment scheme undertaken by the State Government, this area is safe from low intensity
floods. The height of Nehru bridge is however one of the controlling point for further strengthening
of flood embankment.
Ukai reservoir has been designed for a gross storage of 6.9 million acres feet at F.R.L. 345. During
the floods, this can be raised to the high flood level of about 351 to hold the excess water of about
one million acres foot. Any further rise in flood level could endanger the up-stream area by sub-
merging them. The plan shows the provision of embankment scheme. According to this scheme the
development of Rander- Adajan is still under the flood affected zone. The embankment scheme has
to be further strengthened.
The walled city area has no good drainage system. There are few pockets of low lying area, where
water gets logged in the rainy season. It is observed that the area of Navasari Bazar, Khapatia
Chakla, Panini Bhit, Vada Chauhta area get flooded in rainy season. The other affected area is across
the railway line towards the southern side of Kamrej which is also low lying area having the natural
drain towards Khakra Khadi.

The flood prone area in the figure no. 12 shows the flood affected area in the SUDA.
Figure 12: Flood Map of SMC Area
5.3 WIND DIRECTIONS

Surat is experiencing predominant wind direction from south-west to north-east, the breeze is
mostly from the sea towards the main city.
5.4 CLIMATE
Surat has a tropical savannah climate, moderated strongly by the Sea to the Gulf of Cambay with a
summer dry season. There are three distinct climatic seasons in this region. March to June is the
summer season. May and June are the hottest months. The highest recorded maximum temperature
is 45.6 °C in the months of May and June. The summers are extremely hot and dry. Scorching heat
and hot winds are typical characteristics of it. It is very uncomfortable to move around in the
daytime.
Late June to early October is the rainy season. It is generally breezy during these months. The scenic
quality of the place is greatly enhanced with the onset of monsoon. Most of the areas remain
pleasant and comfortable throughout the day. October and November see the retreat of the
monsoon.
November to February is the winter season. The month of January is the coldest with average
minimum temperature of 14.3°C. The lowest recorded temperature of 4.4 °C is in the month of
January. Weather remains pleasant most of the day.
The month wise mean sea temperature is as shown in the Table 14 below:

5.6 GEOLOGY
Surat mainly falls under coastal plains. It has fine mixed and calcareous soils. Some part of SUDA also
falls under alluvial plains. Thus Surat mainly consists of fine mixed and montmorillonitic type of soil.

Figure 14: Soil Map of SUDA
5.7 HYDROLOGY
The Tapi River runs through the city of Surat, is one of the major rivers of peninsular India with a
length of around 715 km. It is one of only three rivers in peninsular India that run from east to west.
The river covers 3601 ha of the total land under SUDA along with small portion of Mindhola estuary
as well on southern part of SUDA area. SUDA region have about 898 no. of small and large size lakes
covering about 548 ha of land area under lakes and pond.
SUDA and SMC have developed walk way on river front and some of the lakes and Sea – shore for
recreational purpose. Notable examples include Gaviyar Lake, Lake at Subhash Garden, Dummas
Beach, Sultanabad – Dummas, Umbher lake, Gopi Talav; Out of total, 13 lakes have been interlinked
as of today for managing storm water during the monsoon.

6 SOCIAL AND DEMOGRAPHIC PROFILE
Over a period of time, Surat has seen a rapid movement in increase of population with remarkably
higher growth rates in past a few decades. The population has been rising with development
activities and growth in health, educational and economic opportunities. This section discusses the
population growth in past, demography and social aspects of the Surat Urban area under
administration of SUDA.
Figure 16: Taluka and Villages in SUDA
6.1 POPULATION GROWTH TRENDS

The administrative boundaries of the SMC have been expanded time to time due to the need of
accommodation of increasing number of citizens. However, SUDA has never so far had any spatial
expansion of administrative limits since its establishment in year 1978 under The Gujarat Town
Planning & Urban Development Act, 1976. Table 19 showing details of spatial extent of Surat urban

Growth rate in both of the tables remarkably identify the difference of development pace
accommodating citizens near their workplaces.
Interestingly, Table 20 shows the derived population growth and density for entire of Surat city (i.e.
SMC and SUDA both combined). Here, with the effect of SUDA area population growth is visible and
affecting the SMC population rise giving it moderate trend. Still, the decadal growth rate of the
population in area is alarmingly above 54% which has reduced by around 20% from the previous
decade.
Figure 17: Surat Population trends
As clearly observed in the Figure 17, SMC population is increased at a very higher growth rate
comparison with rest of SUDA. It indicates that SMC serves as a growth magnet which attracts the
people for living. Composition of population in administrative area of SMC and four Taluka are
shown in Table 21. The major contribution (almost above 90%) in total population is through Surat
city whereas rest is distributed almost equally among four Taluka forming rest of SUDA.

It is observed that Surat city with area of 326.52 sq.km. i.e. 45.22% of SUDA area comprises 93.10%
of total population of the urban agglomeration. The trend has been similar over the past decades
and subsequently there has been spatial expansions observed for Surat city limits to accommodate
the newly populated peri-urban pockets. Detailed note on village-wise population in context to city
as well as SUDA administration boundaries can be referred in Annexure.
6.2 POPULATION DENSITY

The city experienced an increase in the density of population despite an increase in area between
1971 and 1981. However, in 1991, the population density declined due to a proportionally larger
increase in the area compared to the population. In 1971, the city, with a population of 4,71,656 was
spread over an area of 33.90 sq. km. resulting in a population density of 139 PPH.

Table 22 shows the data of the population density as recorded in last four census decades. In 2006,
city limits witnessed spatial expansion reaching 326.52 sq.km. and with population density of about
137 PPH. The density in SUDA area is comparatively very low which gives rise to opportunity for
development. The highest density of population in Municipal Area is observed in Walled city area. In
particular in certain localities like Gopipura, Wadifalia, etc. the density of population is stated to be
around 1000 persons per hectare. New areas brought in under the jurisdiction of SMC in 1986 are by
and large sparsely populated, though along the two prominent corridors, viz. Nana Varachha Road
and Udhna (Navsari) road, the population density is moderately high.

6.3 HOUSEHOLDS
Out of all the spatial administrative constituencies, the average household size was reported as 4.85
persons per family in 2001 which has reduced to 4.60 persons in 2011 in the Census showing a
declining growth in household size by 5.45%. The survey on Household size was released through
NHFS-3 on 11th April, 2007 by the IIPS, Mumbai designated by the Ministry of Health and Family
Welfare (MoHFW, GoI) which shows that Surat has lower average household size (for 2011) than
that of the Country as well as the State. (Figure 19)

shares from agricultural labor and household industry workers. Major participation is through other

workers category which comprises of a combination of seven Census sub-categories i.e. industrial
category 3, 4, 5b, 7, 8 and 9. This is well observed in the figure.
Figure 25: Workforce composition in Surat
Figure 26: Main workers distribution

Above chart shows the predominating contribution from
“Other workers” category which has other seven sub-
categories as per Census of India, 2011. Such a sub-
categorization has been adopted by the Census Bureau in the
recent decadal survey only hence, trend of the same
comparing past data is not possible however, these sub-
categories mainly include work force from service sector,
industrial and commercial units wherein there are 17.85
Lakhss of persons reported under the sub-category of main
workers who are the wealthy contributors of the city.
6.8 MIGRATION
Surat has emerged as a national city with majority of the population comprising of migrants. Trends
of migration in Surat exhibits rapid increase over the years. It is estimated that 60% of the city’s
population (Shah, 1997) and 80% of those living in squatter settlements (Das, 1994) were born
outside the district of Surat.
Availability of employment and the industrial scenario of the city pull people from neighbouring
states like Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, as well as states like Orissa, which are far from the state
of Gujarat. This is reflected by increasing share of inter‐state migrants than inter‐district migration.

Migration to Surat is male dominant. This is also reflected in low sex ratio of the city. Unlike
migration from Maharashtra, the flow of migration from specific regions in Ganjam and Puri in
Orissa has been more recent. In the city, majority of Oriya migrants are engaged in textile sector,
especially in power loom factories and dyeing and printing factories.
Around 70% are employed in informal sector activities, of which 40% are employed in the textile
industry, 13% in the diamond polishing and cutting industries, 14% in small scale ancillary workshops
and 32% in ‘self‐employed’ street and home workers. The working conditions of these migrants are
very poor. Their jobs are temporary and casual. They work for long hours with no break even for
lunch. They work in two shifts each of 12 hours and wage rates are very low.

from 2695.6 hectare in 1978 to 10,666 hectare in 2014, indicating the extent of the sprawl of the
city. The percentage distribution of residential area is 58.54 % in 2011, which is on a slightly higher
side then prescribed standards, which range from 40 % to 45 % as per UDPFI guidelines. High rise

development is coming near the University area while low rise development is coming towards
Varachha road on SH‐66. A serious challenge in the city is the rapid growth of slum squatters and
settlements. Area under slums covers 1.8% of total area of SMC in 2007. There are 406 slums
covering an area of 579.15 hectare of the total area of 32,651 hectare of SMC. Mainly these slums
are near the medium industry in south and south‐east side of the city.

Total residential area proposed is 204 sq.km. The developed residential area is 102.49 sq.km. out of
which about 18.51 sq.km. is developed outside the proposed residential zone and can be considered
as spill over.

7.2.2 COMMERCIAL LAND USE
Surat is one of the major trade centers in the region which is very efficiently connected by rail and
road with the state capital Ahmadabad and other parts of the country. This has made Surat as an
important trade and manufacturing centre of Gujarat. The concentration of commercial activity is in
the walled city. Therefore being a densely populated area, it is having a problem of parking and
informal activities. Other commercial activities are spread across the city. Commercial land use has
increased almost three times in last three decades i.e. 141.3 hectare to 466 hectare, depicting
importance of Surat as a trade centre.
7.2.3 INDUSTRIAL LAND USE

The growth of industries shows a steep increase from 1978 to 1995 and then a steady progress over
the years till date. Industrial land use is almost seven times the commercial land use in the city. The
percentage distribution of land under industries is reduced to 17.74% from 21.04% between 1995
and 2004 but the actual land use under industries has been increased to 3023.4 hectare in 2004
from 2784 hectare in 1995. In 2014 the industrial area is about 3945 hectare. Industries are mostly
establishing themselves on the southern side on the road leading to Sachin and to the west on the
road leading to Hazira.

7.2.4 ROAD NETWORK AND TRANSPORTATION

The road network of Surat is primarily radial with all the regional roads leading out. Land under
transportation land use is 9.16 % in 2004 covering an area of 1661.41 hectare, which has gone up to
3950 hectare by 2014 including the TP scheme and society level roads. This area covered by Road
network and Transportation is saturated since 1995 showing no increase in 10 years.
7.3.5 PUBLIC AND SEMI PUBLIC

Areas allotted to public semi public use have shown reduction in percentage distribution. The area
allotted under DP was 3350 hectare out of which the about 809 hectare has been developed in the
existing landuse.

8 TRAFFIC AND TRANSPORTATION
The city is well connected by road, rail and air transport. Several National and State Highways pass
through the city. It is also connected by the sea port. As a result, traffic coming to as well as passing
through the city is very high. The city transportation system is predominantly road based. With the
absence of a public transport system, dependence on individual modes and intermediate public
transport is high. Though roads are generally wide, network design and development is not
complete.
8.1 INTRODUCTION
8.1.1 REGIONAL LINKAGES

Railways: Surat is served by the busy north-south line of the Western Railways connecting Gujarat
with Mumbai and other important centres. Branches of the railway line serve areas of Udhna,
Jalgaon and Bhestan. A dedicated goods' line exists between Kosad to Hazira. Being located midway
between Ahmedabad and Mumbai, the city is serviced by express, mail, passenger and local trains.
The main line carries a lot of freight traffic due to the industrial belt between Ahmedabad and
Mumbai and the sea ports in Gujarat and Mumbai. Three railway stations fall within the city area.
The main station (Surat Railway Station) is located just outside the walled city abutting the ring road.
The railway station at Udhna is also an important transport node within the city. The third railway
station located at Utran is not significant as the development in the area is limited. Sachin and
Maroli are located towards south of Surat.
Road Transport: Gujarat State Road Transport Corporation (GSRTC) is the regional public transport
operator in Gujarat. Following are the key facilities for its intercity and inter-state services:
 The central depot is located near Railway Station (in the east)
 ST Terminal is located near Railway station (in the west). This is supported by linear
terminal on ring road nearby.
 A terminal is located near Adajan Patiya (West of Nehru Bridge). This has additional
facilities such as workshop, parking, etc.
 Near Udhna village, originally the bus depot was used for city bus services. With the
start of bus service, the city has started utilizing the place as terminal.
The linear bus stand near railway station, Wadi Faliya and Kanskiwad were the main terminal points
for city bus services. All these have been converted as city bus terminals starting from August
2007.Jeeps and matadors carry out passenger and goods services to the neighbouring villages and
towns. Private bus operations also provide inter-city bus transport to various cities from Sahara
Darwaja. In the absence of a separate bus terminal for private operators, their operations result in
traffic congestion at Sahara Darwaja.
Air Port: The existing airport catering to domestic traffic is located to the south-west on the Surat-
Dumas radial road. Daily air services to Delhi, Mumbai have begun recently.

Passenger Flows: CRRI has carried out a detailed study of passenger flows. About 3 lakhs passengers
use the rail and bus terminals every day. Of these, the Surat railway station (1.7 lakhs passengers)
and bus station (0.6 lakhs passengers) are important locations.
Figure 31: Transit Terminals of Surat
8.1.2 EXISTING ROAD PATTERN – HIERARCHY AND ITS FEATURES (WIDTH,

ETC)
The roadway network of Surat is around 1914 km long. Other than the National Highway Authority,
the State Roads and Buildings Department, and the two urban local bodies; SMC and SUDA are
responsible for developing and maintaining road infrastructure. The street network in Surat may be
classified as ring-radial form at city level and grid iron pattern is observed at the local level network.
As per the land use proposal, a total of 9.2 % of SUDA area is proposed under Transport and
Communication use zone, which is relatively less. The movement in Surat is concentric; majority of
the vehicular load is taken by the inner ring road which connects to all important roads. This results
in congestion on the ring road.
Considering ROWs, the city is well placed with about 19% of its network having width exceeding 30
m. It is to be noted that many of these roads form part of NH/SH network. Another 37.5% of the
network is wider than 12 m. Within the developed area, road density is higher but roads are

narrower. In old city, the area under roads (area of 28.29 sq.km.) is about 25% of the total area of
old SMC limits. The road length within this area is 967 km. However, not all roads are developed to
their full width.

8.2 VEHICLES –PER CAPITA GROWTH AND ITS IMPLICATIONS ON

CONGESTION
The vehicles registered in Surat RTO area has raised from four lakhs (in 1994) to thirty six lakhs (in
2012). Two wheelers comprise nearly 40% of the total number of vehicles while cars constitute
about 17%. Currently, Surat has approximately 14 lakhs two wheelers and eighty five thousand auto
rickshaws registered. The breakup of the vehicular composition in the city and the percentage
change in the city is shown in table below:
Table 40: Growth of vehicles registered at Surat

4 All Vehicles 30,81,994 33,46,031 36,74,266 7.9 8.9
The rate of growth has remained high at 9-10%. In the absence of public transport system in the city,
the rate of increase in auto- rickshaws has been approximately 4.5 % whereas rapid increment in the
rate of motorcars has been observed in last year, is approximately 10-10.5%.
8.3 BRIDGES, FLYOVERS, UNDER PASS, ETC.

At present there are 67 major and minor bridges and two sub ways in the city. There are nine
bridges across River Tapi at various locations. One of them is a weir cum causeway and another is a
railway bridge. The other eight are major roadway bridges.

PRIVATE BUSES, SCHOOL BUSES
Absence of bus services in past has lead to emergence of autos and smaller vehicle based IPT
service. They operate, illegally, as point to point services. Based on the services it has been observed
that there are 123 informal established routes. An estimated 7.7 lakhs passenger trips are
performed by auto rickshaws. A list of 30 major routes is presented below. figure 34 the major
corridors on which these services operate.

8.8 BRTS CONCEPT AND IMPLEMENTATION

Surat had prepared a Comprehensive Mobility Plan (CMP) in 2008. The CMP looked at road network
issues in Surat and suggested provision of additional rings to decongest the city centre. It also
recommended the development of mass transit system in the form of BRTS. The DPR identified
about 125 km as potential BRTS corridors and assessed each corridor to come up with a phasing
plan. Accordingly, 30 km were identified in BRTS phase I. These 30 km included two corridors – one
on the radial Surat Navsari road and the other on the canal road. Along with corridor identification,
the DPR also identified other systems that would contribute to development of BRTS.
These included ITMS, transit infrastructure facilities, rolling stock, system type, institutional set up
and operations and management plan. Four years after the proposal was approved by the MoUD
and funds sanctioned under the JnNURM, many elements are under advanced stage of
implementation. Now, looking at the potential of BRTS as a mass transit solution, the SMC wishes to
increase the network. The plan presented through this report attempts to incorporate the
requirements as specified under NUTP.

9 HOUSING
9.1 INTRODUCTION
House is the most basic need of human being after food and clothing that needs to be addressed on
priority. It not only provides shelter to a household but also fulfils all basic utilities and needs of each
member of the family. Therefore provision of housing for the entire population in the city is essential.
In Surat demand for MIG and HIG housing exists besides LIG and EWS housing. Since Surat is
becoming the most important industrial hub of the country, the need for LIG and EWS housing for
industrial labour is of greater concern in and around industrial areas. This chapter examines the
present housing status, housing need, housing issues and related strategies. The chapter then

9.4 HOUSING NEED

The housing sector needs to be catered for meeting the existing backlog as well as to meet the future
demands of the expansion happening in the city. The present deficiency of housing is computed as
below, assuming household size of 4.5 for the entire city, based on the census 2011 population data
and future housing projections. The table below shows the total shortfall in number of houses required for
the population as per zones in the Surat city.

As per deficiency and surplus calculations, housing surplus is being only in the year 1991 and as the
city expands in later decades the housing need increases with respect to population, therefore the
backlog in the last census year 2011 is 60,455 houses for the population of 44,67,797 and for the
year 2035 the housing requirement is 24,51,778 houses for 1,10,33,000 population. With the
increase in population the housing need is also increasing for the population projected till 2035.
9.5 HOUSING GROWTH

Each zone has maximum number of properties which are residential which together comprises
58.5% of Residential use breakup for land use in the city.
East zone contains maximum number of residential properties. Also as mentioned above central
zone is the core of employment activities, therefore the breakup of others type of properties are
maximum in this zone. The residential development needs to be spread towards South and East
zone, along with focus on education centres development in the city.
9.6 HOUSING SUPPLY AND DEMAND

The rise of Information Technology and Information Technology Enabled Services sector has changed the
profile of the city and therefore city is emerging as a favourable investment destination. The city’s
infrastructure is improving steadily and it has recently seen the completion of a large number of road
projects such as elevated roads and flyovers. Leading property developers of the country are implementing

residential and commercial projects in the city. Being the cleanest city of India and its accessibility
from neighbouring cities such as Mumbai, Vadodara and Ahmadabad, Surat is catching attention of
developers and investors.
The supply is being segregated into two sectors, Public and private. The major part of Housing
Supply is from Private Sector which incorporates around 91.25 % of total housing supply in the city in
the year 2014. The public sector supply is contributed by SUDA, SMC and Gujarat Housing Board.

Table indicates that from the public sector, SMC has been doing maximum work for poor people of
the Surat city since last so many years. Up till now total 72,031 housing units have been constructed
by SMC. After that GHB has performed major role by providing houses to the urban poor and the
contribution is 17,795 houses. SUDA has also been proactive in construction of the houses for urban
poor in the city since last few years. As on total 95,534 houses have been worked out by public
sector in the Surat city which is approximately 8-9% of total Housing supply. The Private sector

supply is mainly targeted for the Middle Income Group (MIG) and Higher Income Group only; and
hence the Lower Income Groups are often neglected.
The demand from Lower income Group for the required housing is on higher side, whereas options
for them available in the market are at lower side but post slow down, in year 2014, Real estate
developers in Gujarat are eyeing the affordable housing market. Rising demand from lower
middle‐class population, easy availability of housing loans and low interest rates have made the
developers turn to building low‐cost 1BHK and 2BHK flats in the range of Rs 4 to Rs 10 lakhs. Earlier,
the builders focused more on catering to the demand of the higher‐income groups by building
luxurious apartments, bungalows and duplexes.
And as the maximum real estate projects are coming from private sector it can be understood, that
the share of Housing Supply in Surat City is majorly dominated by Private sector than Public Sector.
The supply by Public Sector is mainly for EWS, LIG and underprivileged sections of society, but supply
by private sectors are concentrating on all sections and also introducing the concept of Affordable
housing for the lower income group.
9.7 URBAN POOR

Slums are the agglomeration of unhygienic shelters arranged in congested manner without
appropriate integral facilities like drinking water, roads, street lights and drainage being provided.
Thus, conceptually slums are compact overcrowded residential areas (and not isolated or scattered
dwellings) unfit for habitation due to lack of one or more of the basic infrastructure like drinking
water, sanitation, electricity, sewerage, streets etc. These squatters are actually like blot on the
urban panorama and also create unhygienic and dismal squalid environment and act as the source of
spreading diseases in the city.
Slums have become an integral part of growing cities. The increase in industrial activities results in
mass migration from other districts and neighbouring states. Due to the lack of resources and poor
affordability coupled with inadequate availability of affordable housing, the migrants starts squatting
on available public spaces creating in the process slum settlements with minimal available
infrastructure. Rapid urbanization has led to rapid growth of slums in the cities.
Table below indicates Industrial locations in the Surat City where the Slums have developed nearby
industries within SUDA and SMC boundary limit.

9.8 HOUSING POLICY FOR URBAN POOR

SMC has prepared Slum policy considering Urban Poor as the integral part of the city and tried to
cover all aspects of housing sector, such as need for Housing, short fall, available land policies,
criteria and the problem identification and solution for urban poor.
Main objective of the policy are:
 To know the Socio‐economic survey data of the Existing slum scenario in the city as
whole and zone wise.

 To analyze all existing data considering socio-economic and physical parameters of
existing slum settlements.

substantially in total productivity of market. Therefore SMC has recognized the contribution of the
urban poor in helping to build city prosperity and decided to make sufficient provision for them to
have access to affordable land, and services. The ultimate goal of SMC is to make Surat a 'Slum Free
City', and for this SMC has taken slum up gradation, relocation and rehabilitation programs. For this

willing to assign property rights to slum dwellers.
The Ministry of Housing and Urban Poverty Alleviation (MoHUPA) has prepared Guidelines for 'Slum
Free City' planning to assist the preparatory activities under RAY and this has been circulated to all
States/UTs. RAY calls for a multi-pronged approach focusing on the following aspects:
 Bringing existing slums within the formal system and enabling them to avail the
same level of basic amenities as the rest of the town/city.
 Redressing the failures of the formal system that lead to the creation of slums; and
 Tackling the shortages of urban land and housing that keep shelter out of reach of
the urban poor and force them to resort to extra-legal solutions in a bid to retain
their sources of livelihood and employment.

the MGY scheme is to provide housing to the urban poor who are coming under main two categories
such as Economically Weaker Section (EWS) and Lower Income Group (LIG). To encourage housing
sector government provides subsidy to urban poor under MGY scheme.
9.9 EMERGING ISSUES
9.9.1 OVER DENSIFICATION IN CENTRAL ZONE

The central zone has reached to saturation level with respect to population and residential density.
With increase of slum settlement in around the zone, the property tax cannot be collected
appropriately. The agglomeration of population in this central zone needs to be controlled.
9.9.2 CONCENTRATED DEVELOPMENT

The residential development is unevenly spread between central zone and south west zone.
Residential development need to be controlled and spread evenly in all zones mainly in north and
south zone.

9.9.3 LACK OF ACCESS TO LAND FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING
With the speculative real estate market and increasing demand for affordable housing has played a crucial
role in raising the prices in the housing market. Affordable housing remains a distant dream for many
pushing them to sub‐standard housing. But recently since many MOUs being signed, which shows a good
sign of upbringing and implementing this idea into whole.
9.9.4 HOUSING PROJECTS WITH PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS

Over the years, the Municipal Corporation has implemented various schemes of housing. With ever
increasing demand and continuous migration to the city over the years, the housing demand is ever
increasing. The government alone may not be able to cater to the existing housing demand. Thus, it is
inevitable for the government to play a role of regulatory authority proving access to the land for
affordable housing to the private agencies. The city requires many more housing projects and area
improvement schemes in the newly added area of the city.

10 GARDENS
The Public Parks and Garden Department was established with a mission to provide the best
environmental condition to live in by providing the citizens with recreational area by creating parks,
garden, ponds and lake near their neighborhood with reduced level of air and noise pollution by
improving micro alignment at city level and to recharge ground water through ponds and lakes. This
section broadly talks about the four main areas, different types of parks and open spaces in the city
as well as, green streets and urban groves.
10.1 URBAN CHARACTERISTICS
10.1.1 PARKS & GARDENS

Parks are green landscaped areas that act as lungs of the city. Parks provide pollution free and
pedestrian friendly areas for a varied range of social activities. The activities can include leisure,
relaxation, formal and informal gatherings such as senior citizens’ laughing club, and some active
recreation such as jogging and so on. Parks can accommodate different recreational and leisure
activities depending on their size and location. Parks need to be distributed such that their
catchment areas cover most surrounding residential households within a comfortable walking
distance. Parks and gardens can be categorized based on their size, location and use as shown
below.
10.1.2 NEIGHBOURHOOD PARK

This category includes parks that are small but more evenly distributed throughout the residential
areas. These parks usually serve the adjoining residential neighborhoods which are within a
comfortable walking distance. Neighborhood parks can include sitting-out areas; children’s play
spaces and other provisions for passive recreation. Good examples of neighborhood parks in Surat
city are Lokmanya Tilak Udhyan, Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar Udhyan, etc.
10.1.3 COMMUNITY PARK

This category includes parks that can support more active recreational activities, landscape features
and other supporting functions such as food stalls, public toilets, etc. These parks usually serve
multiple residential neighborhoods within comfortable walking distance. These kind of activities are
seen at the community park in the city located at Gandhibaug Chowk Bazaar.
10.1.4 CITY PARK

This category includes parks that are important at the city level. City parks are large landscaped
areas that offer a wider range of recreational facilities and features. People from varied parts of the
city utilize these places. Botanical Garden at Ugat is categorized as a city level garden in the city
providing a landscaped area to the people for a wide range of recreational activities.
10.1.5 REGIONAL PARK

There is another category of parks which functions at the regional level. Regional parks are large
areas, corridors or networks of open space which are publicly accessible and provide a range of

facilities and features offering recreational, ecological, landscape, cultural or green infrastructure
benefits. Nature Park at Sarthana is a regional level park with variety of species living in their natural
environment. Besides that there is no other regional level park in Surat.

10.1.6 OPEN SPACES

Open spaces include publicly accessible spaces that can accommodate multiple active recreational
uses such as expos, exhibitions, play grounds, etc. Open spaces in Surat are categorized as open
spaces, gardens, playgrounds, recreational areas and green belts. Playgrounds are mostly included
within the school premises and the rest of the areas are open for public use. Open spaces can
include public spaces which act as spaces for social gathering. Open spaces also include public
grounds and vacant government land which can accommodate different activities. Irrespective of
public or private ownership the basic use of open spaces is for public use. Public grounds are larger
in size. These spaces need not have extensive landscaping. Vanita vishram is the best example of
open space for Surat city which is utilized for various activities in the city. SMC also rents party plots
for weddings, social gatherings, etc.
10.1.7 PLAZA / CHOWK

This category of open space includes spaces that are predominantly for pedestrian use supported
with informal activities. A plaza can be any gathering space on a street or between buildings or at a
street intersection. These spaces have a sense of enclosure that can be of varying degrees, and can
include soft and hard landscape features. Surat already has a chowk area in the core city. SMC has
made efforts to relocate people on the street near chowk area and develop plaza with permanent

shops and open interaction space. Besides these Surat city can have a number of open plazas
developed at places like Chowpati, and various malls, etc.
10.1.8 GREEN BELTS

Green belts include all streets that have landscaping and/or tree plantation. Green belts are an
important part of the city-wide network of parks and open space. They enhance the experience and
image of the city and make it pleasant and comfortable for the citizens as well as tourists/visitors.
Green belts can also behave as green public spaces where a variety of recreational and leisure
activities can take place. These should be planned to connect multiple significant parks, plazas and
open spaces within the city and to form a citywide 'green network'. This green network would
encourage the use of non motorized transport in the city and encourage the pedestrians to utilize
the streets.
 Planned green belts: These include streets that have planned tree plantation and street
landscaping elements. All major roads that are being planned in the recent years take
care of tree plantation and green belts. Between 2005 and 2009 following efforts were
made.
 2,67,237 Nos. of trees were planted along the road side and road divider.
10.1.9 URBAN GROVES

Urban groves include all areas that have substantial natural or planned tree cover, with restrictions
on development of any kind. Between 2005 and 2009 following efforts were made:
 3,28,778 Nos. of trees are planted in large open space as mass plantation for shelter
belt & Green belt.
 High density tree plantation is carried out around all water works, water treatment
plants, sewage treatment plants, pumping stations and distribution stations.
 Tree plantation is also carried out in disposal sites and EWS plots reserved by
authority.
Also Nature Park Sarthana which is situated at the North‐East corner of Surat City, which is
approachable by Surat- Kamrej Road. The site is covered with an area of 81 acres with river Tapi on
the north side and Surat- Kamrej road is on its south side. The aim and objectives of the Nature Park
are enlisted below:
 To breed endanger & extinct species found locally, regionally and countrywide in
planned manner.
 To protect endangered & extinct species of wild life and to conserve them in natural
environment.
 To create conservation awareness among public to get their support for
conservation- preservation.

10.2 PARKS AND OPEN SPACES
At present parks, gardens, grounds and other open spaces that are used for leisure and recreational
activities in the city amount to 285.03 ha. Existing waterfront parks and open spaces are also
included in the calculations. The following table shows total area figures for parks by administrative
zones in SMC and SUDA limits.

Currently, 2.63 sq.km. of area is under parks, gardens and open spaces out of 326 sq.km. of SMC
area. This accounts of only 0.81 % of the total SMC area. These include parks and open spaces at all
levels namely neighborhood, city and community level. It is seen that both SMC and rest of SUDA
area do not have adequate provision of parks and open spaces. Hence efforts should be made to
increase the area under them and create a green and healthy environment for the residents.

10.2.1 EXISTING GUIDELINES FOR PROVISION OF PARKS AND OPEN SPACE

TP scheme mechanism: TP scheme mechanism has guidance for parks and open space provision
based on area. 5% land of the total TP scheme area is to be preserved as open space. The guidelines
for provision of open space as per UDPFI and TP scheme are for overall provision and do not include
key guidance covering aspects such as distribution of the open spaces and their catchment,
minimum space standards for the open spaces etc.
10.2.2 ANALYSIS OF EXISTING PROVISION OF PARKS AND OPEN SPACES

At present, provision of parks and open space is linked to total area of developable land as per TP
scheme guidelines or as an overall provision based on population as per UDPFI guidelines. While
overall provision of parks and open space in the city is important, it is also necessary to assess the
spatial distribution and catchment of these spaces, and also to assess the space standards of this
amenity. Existing provision of parks and open spaces in Surat is analyzed by administrative zones as
this provides a detailed picture of the varying conditions in the different parts of the city. The
following criteria are used for analyzing the provision:
 Provision based on population

 Pedestrian access for residential households
 Average size and distribution
 Provision of Parks and Open Spaces Based on Population
Provision of parks and open spaces should be based on population and not on developable area. It is
the population density that determines the demand for this public amenity. The following chart

shows the existing provision of parks and open space based on population of 100 persons by
administrative zones / wards within SMC.

 Pedestrian Access to Parks for Residential Households
Pedestrian access analysis shows the distribution of parks within the city. This is useful in
understanding the accessibility of this amenity by the surrounding households. Pedestrian access for
parks is defined as the residential area falling within 5 minutes / 400 m walking distance from
neighbourhood parks, and 10 minutes / 800 m from community and city level parks.
 Average Size and Distribution of Parks
The size of any park or open space determines the overall population that can be served by it. The
size also has an impact on the use and attractiveness of the space. For example, city level parks are
larger in size and include other secondary uses such as botanical garden etc. These parks cater to the
city as a whole and not just the immediate catchment. Neighbourhood level parks are smaller in size
and primarily serve the immediate catchment area. Community level parks are shared between
different neighbourhoods.
Nearly 53% of the parks and open spaces fall between 100 to 2500 sq.m., 14 % of them fall between
2500 to 5000 sq.m. and the rest 33% of them between 5000 and more. For Surat city, the area under
parks and open spaces is quite low.

10.2.3 MECHANISMS FOR PROVISION OF PARKS AND OPEN SPACES AND
MAINTENANCE
A detailed mechanism needs to be developed for provision of parks and open spaces. At present, the
planning of new parks and open spaces is mainly through TP mechanism. However, in the existing
developed areas, there is no specific mechanism for the provision of new parks and open spaces.
Currently a lot of vacant plots are used as open space for recreational activities. The gardens are
mainly developed and maintained by the department and some gardens and shantikunj are given on
contracts for maintenance. SUDA does not develop any gardens. SUDA has no dedicated funding
allocated for the implementation and maintenance of parks and open spaces within its boundaries.
There are few Panchvatis and privately developed gardens in the villages.

10.3 OBSERVATIONS AND ISSUES
10.3.1 REQUIREMENT OF GREEN NETWORK

 There are few streets where plantation has been carried out within the city but they do
not form a green network. A comrehensive green network is required.
10.3.2 INADEQUATE GREEN SPACE AT CITY LEVEL

 Issue: Lake front development along with garden can be taken up to develop more
spaces like the botanical garden which can used at city level for recreational purpose.

10.3.3 LACK OF RECREATIONAL FACILITIES
 There has been a continuous decrease in the amount of open space present in the city
over the past decade.
 At present facilities present to cater to the recreational needs of the population are
inadequate.
10.3.4 INADEQUATE PARKING PROVISIONS FOR PARKS

 Observation: There is an insufficient availability of parking facilities for parks and open
spaces in the city.

11 PHYSICAL INFRASTRUCTURE
11.1 INTRODUCTION
Basic physical infrastructure facilities, services, and installations needed for the functioning of a
community or society are roads, water supply, sewerage, storm water lines and solid waste
management. Roads have been in the chapter on Traffic and Transport. Hence, this chapter focuses
on all services except roads, identifying the issues arising for these services in fulfilling the growing
demand. Due to the increase in urbanization at a fast pace in Surat, there exists significant pressure
on the urban infrastructure.
The Specific indicators generated basically present the current situations/status of civic amenities in
Surat Urban Area. The service level and coverage indicators have been used for estimating the gaps
in services via set norms as prescribed by CPHEEO manual. Based on the norms, requirements by the
year 2021, 2031 and 2035 have also been estimated. Further, future requirements have been
converted into monetary terms, assuming appropriate unit costs.
11.2 WATER SUPPLY
11.2.1 WATER SUPPLY CURRENT SCENARIO

Water Supply is one of the primary infrastructure services a city needs. The sources of water supply
for the entire SUDA region are surface water and ground water. Tapi is a major source of Surface
Water. Surface water is drawn by intake wells from perennial channel throughout the year. Ground
water is drawn via bores. The entire water supply process takes place through various steps and water
is received through the source in the treatment plant where it is treated. The treated water is stored
in the storage reservoirs and then supplied to the city areas. The following sections describe how the
water supply system in the city has developed from past to present.
The situation with regard to water supply in Surat Municipal Corporation has been analyzed in terms of
“Source Sustainability”, apart from “Service Levels”, “Service Coverage” and “Service Efficiency”. These
indicators are analyzed for assessing the existing service levels, coverage and efficiency.
11.2.1.1 EVOLUTION OF WATER SUPPLY

The water supply system for Surat city evolved over a period of more than hundred years.
Table 67: Water Supply scenario before 1995
Year Event
23 April 1852 Surat municipality was established but there was no provision of public water
supply at that time
1864 Sir Kawasji Jahangir of Surat had donated Rs.1.25 Lacs to construct a water works
for the city

Year Event
1867 Mr. Gragery prepared a plan to draw water from river Tapi near Kamrej and bring
the same up to Delhi Gate by a pipeline
1894 Fardunji Taraporewala was appointed as an Executive Engineer in Surat by the
British Government, who planned to build Infiltration wells in the river. In the
same year, work for first water supply pipeline was started near Surat railway
station by Mr. George Harrison, then Governor of Mumbai
1898 Varachha Water Works was inaugurated. It was then known as Lely Water Works
in the name of Mr.Lely, then Collector of Surat. Rander municipal area also got
water from this plant as Sheth Haji Yusuf from Rander shared one tenth of the
expenditure.
1931 chlorination was used in Surat city water supply for the first time
1950 New Engine House & new overhead tank were started
1952 First surface water treatment plant was commissioned at Varachha
1984 20 new tube wells were constructed at Varachha & Sarthana to increase the water
supply capacity
1985 Radial collecting wells (2 No.) were constructed at Sarthana and water distribution
stations were constructed at Khatodara, Umarwada & Katargam
1995 gross average daily water supply was 180 MLD to a population of about 18 Lacs
resulting in an acute shortage of water supply
1995 A weir-cum-causeway was constructed across river Tapi. Due to the construction
of weir, a reservoir of about 31000 TCM (Thousand Cubic Meter) capacity became
available for drawing surface water.

11.2.1.2 CURRENT SERVICE LEVEL(YEAR 2014)

Presently, there is an availability of 1463 MLD of surface water from different sources for SMC area
against the total treatment capacity of 1268 MLD. Water from all these sources is taken to treatment
plants supplying water to the SMC region. SMC has developed well established, networked water
supply system to supply the drinking water to the Citizens of Surat City. Present gross average daily
water supply to the citizens of Surat City is 980 MLD with net per capita water supply of 150 Liters per
day. Present water supply components like water works, booster house and water distribution stations
are connected with water supply GRID network which helps to address water quantity and quality
issues. Present population coverage of Surat city (including the extended city limit area in year 2006) is
about 93% and it is planned to achieve the target of 100% population coverage by the end of year 2014.

Other than these, the villages in the SUDA area receive water through GWSSB from Tapi river
and private bore wells. GWSSB supplies to only 14 villages about 1.6 MLD of water the rest of the
villages are dependent on private bores and there are about 223 bores in these villages.

However with the rapid development and rise in population, the city's demand on ground water
resources is increasing tremendously. Although there is a huge potential of surface water resources,
lack of piped supply network in all the developing urban areas creates significant pressure on existing
ground water resources. As such, the village areas have to depend on the ground water, drawn from
a number of bore wells located in different parts of the SUDA area.
11.2.2 WATER TREATMENT PLANT

In the entire of SUDA region, there are total five nos. of water treatment plants, operated by SMC in
order to provide quality water to the urban developed and developing areas. Presently, the villages
in SUDA area do not have any treatment plants. The five water treatment plants have a combined

treatment capacity of 1268 MLD. Moreover 2 newly constructed water treatment plants of total 110
MLD capacity are yet to be commissioned and work for 90 MLD capacity water treatment plant is in
progress.
Present installed capacity of Water Works is 1268 MLD, Present gross daily average water supply is
980 MLD via 28 water distribution centres.

11.2.4 EXISTING SCENARIO FOR WATER SUPPLY & DEMAND

Water utilized by the metropolitan and mega cities provided with piped water supply where sewerage
system exists (as per CPHEEO Manual)for domestic uses is 150 lpcd. Considering the unaccounted for
water as 20%, as well as considering water demands by the commercial, institutional and civic
amenities the per capita water supply provided is 180 lpcd.

Taking into consideration the factors mentioned in the previous section for the water demand; it is
worked out for the respective administrative areas in the SUDA region. The surplus/ deficit analysis is
worked out in this section for each of these administrative areas.

The water demand constantly increases with the rise in population. The table shows that water
demand is 1020 MLD against the treated water supply of 980 MLD. There is a deficit of 40 MLD of
water in SMC area at present. Moreover the water available at source is 1463 MLD out of which
only 980 MLD is utilized, which signifies that there is an availability of spare water at source.
Therefore 40 MLD of water is not exactly the gap. Also the existing water supply network does not
cover some of the area merged into city in year 2006 as work for the same is currently in progress. In
order to serve the entire SMC area, work for all new water supply schemes will be completed by year
2015.
Area under SUDA receives water through Tapi, borewells and the respective village Grampanchayats.
Due to this reason, the exact water supply in this region cannot be measured. The water received
throughTapi canal undergoes primary treatment; is received by the villages which is supplied by
GWSSB. The above table shows that the water demand is higher than the water supply which signifies
that there exist a gap for the water supply. Water treatment plants are not available in the major
growth centres like Kamrej, Palsana, Olpad and Choryasi Taluka.
11.2.5 OBSERVATIONS AND ISSUES
11.2.5.1 Compulsory Rain Water Recharge
Due to high rainfall water should be compulsorily recharged. SMC has already started initiatives for
rain water recharging activities long ago like - giving subsidy to citizens for installing rain water
recharging in private premises, rain water recharging in SMC's own premises and plots, making it
mandatory for private plots larger than 4000 sq.m. and high-rise buildings.
11.2.5.2 Inadequate Coverage

7% of the municipal corporation is yet to be provided with network for water supply. By 2015, 100%
coverage in SMC area shall be done. Out of 95 only 25 villages are provided with GWSSB water
remaining 70 villages do not have conventional water supply network.
11.2.5.3 Exploitation of ground water

Most of the villages in the SUDA area are reliant on ground water and bores for water supply. Apart
from municipal bores a large number of private bores supply water in the various village areas. This
leads to exploitation of ground water source.
11.2.5.4 System (Transmission and Distribution) Losses and Unaccounted

for Water
The gross average supply in the city is 150 lpcd (Gross LPCD - Including @ 20% Losses). It is estimated
that transmission and distribution losses account for 20 percent of the total supply. Scientific and
systematic water audit is required to check these figures and also amount of water unaccounted for.
11.2.5.5 Inadequate Treatment Facility and Coverage outside SMC Area

Presently there is a lack of treatment plants in area outide SMC jurisdiction and within SUDA limits.
There is an underprovision of water supply network in the part of the developing areas of Kamrej,
Palsana, Vav , Navagam , Kholvad , Sachin, Talangpore, Vanz, Ichhapore , Bhatha, etc.

11.2.5.6 Leakage and Contamination of Water at Household Connections
Although rehabilitation of old pipelines has been taken up in recent past, the problem of low
pressure in water supply persists due to the existence of an aged network especially in central zone.
Increasing population has also added to the already existing woes. Apart from these, the use of GI
pipes for household connections leads to leakage and contamination of water in several areas of the
corporation, further increasing the maintenance cost. A separate leak detection cell with latest leak
detection equipments and sufficient trained staff will be required.
11.2.5.7 Alternate Source of Raw Water

 Since centuries, Surat city is substantially dependent on surface water of river Tapi for daily
water supply.
 In the absence of any alternative source of water, city water supply may get hampered due
to any unforeseen situation (like drought in consecutive years) in future.
 To create an alternate source of water, three options are being actively considered:
o Constructing 2 new French wells – under construction stage at present.
o Laying 58 Km. long pipeline from Kakrapar to Surat – Feasibility study report
o Construction of Balloon Barrage - Feasibility study report
11.2.5.8 100% Water Metering
It is envisaged to implement 100% water metering on all consumer connections. At present all water
connections above 15 mm size are metered. Majority of water connections in the city area before
expansion in year 2006 are of 15 mm size, which are yet to be metered. In new area of city merged
in year 2006, all connections including 15 mm size are metered.
11.3 STORM WATER DRAIN
11.3.1 STORM WATER SCENARIO

Initially there was no established full‐fledged storm water drainage system in Surat city, except in
some area in piece‐meal manner. However, there were old peripheral wall in the walled area of the
city and the moats outside this peripheral wall, which carried storm water of the city.
11.3.1.1 Storm Water Scenario Prior to 2001

 City did not have a well established storm water drainage system in the walled city area.
 There were military walls in the wall town and moats outside the military walls carried storm
water of the city.
 These moats are covered with pipes and box as and when required.
 Till 80’s about 23.74 km of storm drain laid in the city on piece meal basis.
 City area gradually increased to 112.28 sq.km. from walled city area of 8.18 sq.km.
 Storm water master plan was prepared in 1985-86 to cop up the storm drainage
requirement. Master plan was proposed to cover the water logged area of entire city.
 Priorities were decided on the basis of vulnerability and first phase of master plan was
carried out with financial aid of World Bank.
 Initially, about 15.00 km of storm drainage was laid covering area inundated of Athwa,
Varachha, Katargam & Rander.
 Up to end of the decade, total storm drain in city was 152.00 km.

11.3.1.2 Storm Water Scenario: 2001-Till Date
Prior to Expansion of City Limit (2001-2006)
 Tune to the development of city, remaining storm water lines were laid as per the storm
drainage master plan.
 Storm drainage of about 130.29 km were laid up to 2006.
 32 Flood gates at different location were provided on storm drainage outlet in the city to
prevent back water entry of Tapi during flooding condition of river.
 Up to end 2006 total storm drain in city was 321.54 km.
After Expansion of City Limit

 City limit expanded from 112.28 sq.km. to 326.12 sq.km. out of which 200.12 sq.km. are
habitable.
 Strengthening storm drainage work by augmenting network in 112.28 sq.km. of old city area to
the tune to the development. These will serve old areas of, West zone, North Zone, East Zone,
South-East Zone, South Zone, South-West Zone and central zone with additional 200.16 km of
storm drain.
 Out of new area, fast developing area of Vesu of Athwa Zone is covered with 43.82 km of storm
drainage line.
 New area of East zone (Puna-Simada, Sarthana and magob (Part) is covered with 50.1 km of
storm drainage line.
 10 New Flood gates are constructed in Athwa zone, central zone and west zone.
11.3.2 EXTENT OF COVERAGE

The map for storm water coverage demarcates the area having storm water network lines installed
and signifies that the areas have completed coverage of system to the extent of 144 sq.km. areas,
remaining areas will be covered on need basis. Till date strom drainage is laid as below.

The storm water network in SUDA area beyond the SMC limit is hardly available. There are about 16
villages in which network is laid for this storm water disposal. In all the other villages water runs off
naturally into the creeks or river or natural water body near the village. The details are as below:

11.3.3 MINDHOLA RIVER REHABILITATION PROGRAM

Currently about six different creeks are meeting into Mindhola river thereby disposing strom water
of the city and outskirt into Mindhola. Untreated Sewerage water of new South- East, South and
South-West area are also disposed into these creeks. Therefore project is envisaged to provide
sewerage system in unsewered area and providing embankment with road on Mithi and Kankar
creek as a first phase.
 Following benefits are envisaged.

 Gabion Pitching / Lining on sides of creek will help in prevention of direct disposal of
sewage waste in to creek
 Provision of 6.00 m wide road on banks of creek will help removing encroachment
on sides of creek, will in turn prevent garbage disposal in to the creek
 Lining on sides of creek smoothen the flow, thereby reduce vector borne diseases
 Protect the quality of creek water, other surface water and ground water against
possible pollution due to unscientific discharge of raw sewage
 Improvement in aquatic eco system through maintaining adequate DO content of
water bodies on downstream of the point of disposal
In second phase remaining creeks are also planned to be developed accordingly.
11.3.4 OBSERVATIONS AND ISSUES

 Mixing of Sewage into Storm Drainage
 Storm water is discharged into river Tapi through 32 outlets in 5 administrative zone
of the municipal corporation. Large quantum of sewage is let out through different

unauthorized connections into the storm water drains which ultimately disposed in
to the Tapi river and untreated sewage disposed through storm drain that pollutes
the river.
 As a part of “Tapi river Suddhikaran” SMC started project to identify unauthorized
connection. In this project, site survey for all manholes of storm water will be carried
out and unauthorized connection will be identified and detail report shall be
prepared.
 Temporary Pumping of Storm Water

High discharge in Tapi river from the upstream dam creates higher water level in in
the river that goes beyond the invert level of existing storm drainage. this situation
leads to closer of flood gate in order to avoid entering of river water into the city.
During closing of flood, it creates worse scenario if rain occurs.
 To prevent water logging in this situation, temporary pumping arrangement are
made every year with the available machineries with SMC.
 SMC has planned to provide Strom water pumping station at critical location.
 Natural Waterways Need to be Preserved
 With urbanization natural waterways are blocked. With development of area,
ground percolation of water reduces thereby increases surface water flow. Therefore
at one side water in the creeks increases and carrying capacity reduces in existing
creeks/ nallas.
11.4 SEWERAGE SYSTEM

SMC had recently augmented their existing water supply scheme. Increased water supply is
expected to result in a corresponding increase in wastewater generation. For the purpose; SMC had
a master plan prepared for the augmentation of the wastewater disposal system.
The augmented sewerage system under six drainage zones has also resulted in the increase of
population coverage from 56 percent in 1996 to 91 percent in 2013. The numbers of sewage
pumping stations have also been increased from 18 in 1996 to 42 in 2013 with addition of another
18 likely to start by end of 2015. Before the extension of city limit, the six drainage zones in the city
were named based on the location of sewage treatment plant in their respective drainage zones;
namely Anjana, Bhesan, Bhatar, Karanj, Singanpore and Bamroli.
After extension of city limit, with the increase of the city limits in each of the above drainage zones
and with additional requirement of sewage treatment facilities in some zones; the drainage zones
were named on the basis of zone, wherein the sewage treatment plant is located. These are South-
East Zone, West zone, South-West East Zone, North Zone and the South Zone drainage schemes
respectively.
11.4.1 SEWERAGE GENERATION

At present, Surat has sewage generation of 744 MLD. As per the CPHEEO norms, the sewage
generation taking into consideration the water supply for computing the water demand is 180 lpcd

in the water supply section, the quantity of waste water (sewage) generation for the city is
computed considering per capita water supply @ 180 lpcd and sewage generation at 80% of water
supply.
11.4.2 EXTENT OF COVERAGE

With the increase in the SMC limits from 112.274 sq.km. to 326.52 sq.km; the coverage of sewerage
has gone down from 92% to 47%. but at the same time 81% population is being served by
underground sewerage system.

11.4.3 SEWERAGE NETWORK

The sewerage network in Surat is presently served by six drainage schemes inclusive of the sewerage
network in walled city area, namely, South-East Zone, West zone, South-West East Zone, North
Zone and the South Zone drainage schemes. The schemes serve a total population of 43.5 lakhs (As
per Census 2011) through 42 sewerage pumping stations and 10 treatment plants.

For the villages outside SMC area, partial sewage network is available. These networks dispose the
water into nearby creeks and water bodies available. In 54 villages closed network is available. There
are about 30 villages with no network at all and 10 villages with open or mix network available. The
details are as below.

Rest of the SUDA area disposes the sewage through soak pits and septic tanks. The sewage system in
these areas have no sewage network laid, therefore the disposal and treatment shows that a
significant deficit exists in this area. In order to meet the increasing demand for sewage system,
treatment plants as well as sewage network lines should be implemented. The details of soak pits
and septic tank are as below.

11.4.4 SEWAGE PUMPING STATIONS

Out of total 42 sewage-pumping stations, 36 are main stations and the remaining six are auxiliary
stations, which are of a lesser capacity and installed in an isolated manner. The diameters of the
raising mains of the main stations vary between 600 mm to 1600 mm and those of the auxiliary
stations vary from 250 – 500 mm. The depths of the stations vary from 9 to 15 m for main stations
and 4 to 9 metres for auxiliary stations.

11.4.5 SEWAGE TREATMENT FACILITIES
There are ten sewage treatment plants catering to the needs of all the six zones of the city and
which have a total treatment capacity of 847.5 MLD of sewage. (One more sewerage treatment
plant and augmentation of two STP are under construction stage.) The sewage collected by the
drainage schemes is treated at the sewage treatment plants before being let out into river or Khadi.
With the increased drainage network over the last three years and coming three years, the entire
sewage generated in the city can be treated before disposal by the year 2016.
The total capacity of the ten treatment plants is 847.5 MLD. Ten treatment plants are located at
Anjana, Bhesan, Asarma Bhatar, Khajod, Karanj, Dindoli, Bamroli-Vadod, Variav and Singanpore.
(One more sewerage treatment plant at Gavier and augmentation of Karanj STP and Bhatar STP are
under construction.) The operation and maintenance of all ten sewage treatment plants has been
carried out by private agencies.
Treatment plant at Singanpore has been augmented from the Conventional Activated Sludge process
facility to advance SBR technology. It has been augmented from 100 MLD capacities to 155 MLD
capacities. Wherein treatment plant at Bhatar is being augmented from 120 MLD capacities to 162
MLD from Conventional Activated Sludge process facility to advance SBR technology. The treatment
plant at Bamroli- Vadod is based on the Up flow Anaerobic Sludge Blanket process with extended
aeration as polishing treatment and is one of the largest plants of its kind in the India. 40 MLD
Tertiary Treatment Plant to treat secondary treated sewage and to generate Industrial Grade Water
for supplying Industrial Grade water to pandesara industrial units is under commissioning stage. The
sewage treatment plant at Asarma and Khajod are based on the Moving Bed Bio Reactor process and
are first of its kind in India at Municipal Level. The sewage treatment plant at Variav is combination
of UASB and Moving Bed Bio Reactor process. De-silting activity of manholes and drainage lines is
privatized by SMC through contracts.

11.4.6 GREEN ENERGY GENERATION FROM SEWERAGE GAS: BEST

PRACTICE
SMC was consuming the electrical power for Operation and maintenance of the Sewage Treatment
Plants from the Power supplier, which was imposed an additional financial burden on SMC. As
population has been increasing, the volume of sewage pumping and treatment is also increased
which transitively increase the power requirement for sewage pumping and treatment as well.As an
initiative towards Green Energy Generation from Sewerage; Sewage Gas Based Power Plant at
Singanpore, Karanj, Bhatar, Anjana, has been setup. In very short duration of ten months, these
projects have been commissioned in 2007-08 and are now operational and providing electricity to
respective plant equipments. Following table indicates total kwh generation at different Sewage gas
power plants. 0.6 MWe capacity Sewage gas based power plant at Variav, 0.75 MWe capacity
Sewage gas based power plant at Dindoli and 0.5 MWe capacity Sewage gas based power plant at
Bamroli will commissioned soon.

Followings are the technological reforms and benefits of Sewage gas based power plant.
 The Production of electricity through purely on sewage gas based engine generator
technology have much more advantages and cost benefits over the earlier technology of
duel fuel engine generator set;
 Power generation and utilization of it in sewage treatment plant reduce the electricity
consumption of grid power;

 Saving in electricity bill will reduce revenue expenditure of Sewage treatment plant,
which reduces municipal taxes to the citizens;
 Reduction of emission of green house gases for the protection of environment.
11.4.7 CDM AND SEWAGE GAS BASED POWER GENERATION BY SMC

The sewage gas based power generation at STPs at Karanj, Singanpore and Bhatar are eligible for
assistance under clean development mechanism for the following reasons. The STPs are designed to
generate the sewage gas by treating the sludge generated from primary and secondary clarifier of
sewage in an anaerobic processing system (Digester) so as to restrict the atmospheric emission of
methane gas. At the same time, the methane gas is recovered without leak in the atmosphere
Confirming to the advantages as described in above case study, it can be concluded that the power
generation through sewage gas should be adopted as an integral part of sewage treatment system.
11.4.8 SMC’S PROJECT OF TERTIARY SEWAGE TREATMENT PLANT (TTP)

Pandesara is a notified industrial estate which was established by GIDC and falls within SMC limits. It
is spread over an area of about 2.8 sq.km. There are about 400 industrial units operating in
Pandesara estate, of which 119 units are water based industries comprising largely textile processing
units and chemical industries. The size of the estate in terms of its turnover is approx Rs 4000 crores.
Current water demand at Pandesara is estimated at approximately 90 – 100 MLD, comprising about
80 – 85 MLD of process water requirement and 10-15 MLD of potable quality water demand. Of the
total demand, nearly 55 MLD is met through SMC potable water supply. The remaining demand is
met through private sources including borewells and water tankers.
The Pandesara Industrial Estate is just 5 km away from the Sewage Treatment Plant at Bamroli (100
MLD capacity). Hence, SMC decided to set up a 40 MLD capacity Tertiary Treatment Plant to treat
secondary treated water from Bamroli Sewage Treatment Plant to supply Industrial Grade Water to
Pandesara Industrial Estate through SMC. This would enable SMC to reduce pressure on ground
water resources in the city and free up potable water supplied to Pandesara Industrial area at
present, which could be further used to supply the drinking water to the newly merged area in the
city. This would also minimize the breakage of roads since, the transportation of water tanker would
be turn down in the area.
11.4.8.1 Present Status of the Project

SMC has awarded work for 40 MLD capacity Tertiary Sewage Treatment Plant on EPC basis. To
ensure income through sale of water as well as to conserve water resources, SMC intends to
increase tertiary treated industrial grade water up to 80 MLD in future.
11.4.8.2 Technology Used

The tertiary sewage treatment process will be used at Bamroli treatment plant to achieve the
desired treated effluent parameters.

There are following types of tertiary treatments.
 Sand Filtration
 Ultra-filtration
 Membrane Filtration
 Reverse Osmosis (RO)
11.4.8.3 Major Benefits
 It reduces diversion of drinking water for non-potable purposes in the long term.
 It reduces dependence of Pandesara Industrial Units on bore-wells and private tanker
operators.
 It facilitates recycling of wastewater, an environmentally sound and progressive
practice.
 It protects the current revenues of SMC from sale of water for industrial purpose in the
short term.
 It assures more stability in level of water supply to industrial units by providing
supplementary source of water in addition to drinking water.
11.4.9 EMERGING ISSUES

 Outdated sewerage system in the walled city area, Athwa and Umra
 Mixing of sewage with storm water and solid waste in several areas
 Low number of sewer connections
 Low per-capita cost recovery
 Unavailability of comprehensive wastewater system in Industrial Areas
11.4.10 FUTURE REQUIREMENTS

SMC has prepared a master plan for comprehensive sewerage system (more than 1500 km of sewers
and 10 sewage treatment works) to serve not only the domestic and commercial, but also the
industrial developments for the year 2026. This shall be further projected for 2035. Wastewater
generated from all this development is to be collected by a network of underground sewers and
pumping stations and conveyed to sewage treatment works for physical and biological treatment to
meet the parameters prescribed by the CPCB before discharge into the nearest watercourse.
11.4.10.1 Sewerage Network

Phase wise execution of the master plan will cover not only the present population of the city but
also the population expected by the year 2035. Complete area coverage is expected to be achieved
by 2016. This is apart from the revitalization of the entire sewerage network in the central zone,
where the present system is outdated. Complete revitalization of the system in the central zone is to
be completed by 2020.

11.4.10.2 Sewerage Pumping Stations
With the newly proposed sewerage pumping stations in North, South, South-East and East Drainage
Zone, the sewerage pumping stations will total to 60. These are expected to cater to the needs of
the population of the city till 2035. Few of the existing sewage pumping stations i.e. Umra, Anjana,
Salabatpura shall be rehabilitated.
11.4.10.3 Green Energy Generation

After successful implementation of the Green Energy generation projects at Singanpore, Karanj,
Bhatar, Anjana; various organizations, municipal corporations, private agencies and industries at
national & international levels have visited the Anjana Sewage Treatment Plant. Presently, several
municipal corporations in India, have implemented / taken up implementation of such kind of
project at their sites.
Following the successful experience, SMC now incorporates bio gas based power plant along with
construction of sewage treatment plant itself. So generation of electricity can start as construction
work completed and receiving of raw sewage starts at treatment plant. Installation of bio gas power
plant has been completed with construction of treatment plant at Bamroli, Variav & Dindoli. The
Work contract specifies the minimum electricity that should be generated from power plant based
on incoming sewage quality and quantity; failing which the short fall in guaranteed generation will
have to be borne by contractor.
This will reduce the power need of STP and revenue expense of the urban local bodies besides
providing environmental benefits to the cities.
11.5 SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT

Efforts to improve solid waste management in the city of Surat were made by the health department
after the havoc of the plague in 1994. The city is divided into 7 zones for efficient management and
the waste generated is collected throughout the city and dumped at the Khajod disposal site (200
ha). At present in SUDA area, there is no scientific collection and disposal for solid waste available.
11.5.1 SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT CURRENT SCENARIO

Figure 47: Process of Solid waste Collection to Final Disposal

Solid waste management is one of the core infrastructure facilities for the city. To make the city
healthy and liveable, sound solid waste management system is required.
11.5.2 WASTE GENERATION AND COLLECTION

There are 314 cradle type doorstep bins placed on roadside designated spaces. The total number of
waste collection bins is 1170. These are mainly 4.5 cu.m in size with a capacity of 1.5 tonnes (4.5 cu.
m)/ dustbin and cover the entire population of the city. The spacing between waste storage depots
is about 100 m and there are about 5000 wheel barrows for carrying waste.
For door-to-door collection of waste 3000 bins are installed by private agencies. The cradle type
would be designed in such a way that revenue generation through advertisement is possible. There
are also initiatives for segregation of waste at source including awareness generation through
pamphlets. At present there are 5603 sweepers engaged in the collection of waste across the seven
zones of the city. Of the total waste collected, the corporation manages 96 percent while the rest is
collected by rag pickers.

11.5.2.1 Door- to-door Collection
Handling of door-to-door Refuse / Garbage System is entirely carried out by SMC through its own
budget. Hence there is no involvement of any partner in respect of financial collaboration / aid.
However, initial investment on the procurement of vehicle is being made by the contractors/agency.
While inviting tenders due care was taken to include the clause for propaganda of door-to- door
garbage collection system. This was the responsibility of agency to which the work of door-to- door
garbage collection is entrusted. As the agency is paid for the work executed on per MT basis; it is
always implementing innovative ideas for improvement in present practice of door-to-door garbage
collection System. As part of innovative activities agencies are conducting survey at regular intervals
and make changes in TPM schedule for maximum coverage.
Before the implementation of door-to-door garbage collection system it was normal practice to
throw house hold waste in the street, from where it is collected by sweepers in handcart for its
disposal in nearby containers. This resulted in overall filthy and dirty appearance in the street as well
as around the container spot. On implementation of door-to-door garbage collection system; it has
now become the practice of every citizen to store the huge household waste generated temporarily
in dustbin till the time door-to-door garbage collection vehicle is arrived. This has improved the
overall scenario and surrounding environment. On request form shop keepers this system is made
operative in second shift from 5 pm to 11 pm to facilitate commercial units.
The door-to-door waste collection in Surat is one of the best practices to strengthen the Municipal
Solid Waste (MSW) collection system in the area of urban local body (As identified by ‘Best Practices,
Peer Experience and Reflective Learning- PEARL, NIUA, May 2009).
The main aspect addressed by this best practice is compliance to MSW Rules-2000. This system has
developed the garbage collection activity at doorstep of household there for it made householder to
habituate themselves to store their garbage in a bin till vehicles of door-to-door Collection System
Reaches To Them.
11.5.2.2 Strategy Used / Activities Implemented to Achieve the Desired

Goals
 Selection of kind of vehicle based on width of road;
 Coverage of number of units in each route is between 1,000 and 3,000;
 Strengthening of the existing system of garbage collection;
 Creating public awareness on garbage management;
 Drivers and “Swachchhta Mitra” are provided with uniforms & identity cards;
 Concession period of this project is kept as Seven years keeping in mind the useful life
of vehicle;
 All the garbage vehicles equipped with proper alarm system go to every door step
regularly at scheduled time;
 Facility of second shift for collecting waste from commercial unit during 4.00 pm to
11.00 pm daily in each zone;
 First shift collection timing is 7.00 am to 1.00 pm daily for residential zone;

 This system operates for 365 days in a year;
 Creating Public Awareness through campaign is the part of contractor’s scope of work;
 Centralized complaint management system at Head office at Mugalsarai & Contractor’s
office with modern communication facilities;
 Provision for segregated waste collection (Dry & Wet).
Before arriving at the present practice of making payment to the contractor on weight basis various
options like lump sum base to cover city as a whole, to cover zone as a whole and payment on
number of units covered were thought. The present practice of making payment on weight base is
found appropriate.
The system of Door to Door garbage collection involves the huge cost of capital investment in
procurement of vehicles for collection of garbage. It also involves the manpower component to run
the system effectively and efficiently.
As such Municipal Corporation is paying to agency for the garbage collected from doorsteps of
residential and commercial units on weight basis; it has become viable for agency to run the system
effectively.
The major component in Solid Waste is Earth – Organic which consists of 42% of the total waste. The
recyclable waste which majorly consists of plastic and paper constitute to 20%. The waste coming
from vegetable market which is bio-degradable constitute to 22%.

For SUDA area the solid waste management system is not in place. There are 17 villages where door
to door collection for SWM is carried out on contractual basis. Remaining 73 villages there is no
collection of waste. It is disposed individually by the people.
11.5.3 WASTE TRANSPORTATION AND DISPOSAL

Waste collected from all over the city is transported to the processing and disposal sites by 450
labourers and 104 drivers. The fleet of vehicles available for the purpose includes dumper placers,
trucks, tractors, market vans and heavy machines which are 162 in total. 41 labourers are involved in
processing and disposing waste at the Khajod disposal sites.

The transportation process is partly mechanized in the form of loaders, bulldozers and breakdown
vehicles.
The private sector is partly involved in the transportation of waste in terms of manpower or a
transportation of garbage and vehicles. They are mainly involved in transportation of municipal solid
waste by dumper trucks and by containers through dumper placers.
11.5.3.1 Primary Transportations

Primary transportation is related to the transportation of municipal solid waste from containers and
door-to-door garbage collection to the nearby transfer station. Primary transportation of MSW from
various areas to nearby transfer station is done by
 Wheel burrows/Trolleys/Mini tempos

 Three wheeler tempos/ four wheeler tempos/Compactors of door-to-door
 Hydraulic dumper placers/Tractor with trailers/ Dumper trucks
MSW collected through various means reach to the nearby transfer station. The six transfer stations
are working in the city in different six zones.

For SUDA area there are only 3 villages from where the waste is transported and disposed at the
Khajod disposal. Most of the villages either dispose it into the gauchar land or into the creeks. About
15 villages are such where the waste is either burnt individually or is collected and disposed into the
gauchar land and burnt.

Figure 48: Transportation Facilities for Waste Collection
11.5.3.2 Transfer Station - Processing And Disposal of Waste

Figure 49: Existing Location Of Transfer-Stations
Processing and disposal methods like incineration

etc. are not used in Surat. Land available for
treatment and disposal of waste, where the land
filling is carried out, is about 10 km from the city. The
life expectancy of land for the treatment and
disposal of waste is 30 years at the Khajod final
disposal site. There is sanitary landfill cell created
and the cell is ready for its use for disposal of inert
material obtained at the end of treatment process of
MSW Treatment.
One Bio-Medical Waste Treatment Plant is working

on a BOOT basis from 2003. The agency to which the
work is granted is responsible for collection and
treatment of Bio-Medical Waste. There are total 41
UHC, which are collection centers and Rs. 10 per kg is
collected as charge.

11.5.3.3 Bio-Medical Waste Treatment: Best Practice
Centralized bio-medical Waste Treatment facility for treatment of bio medical waste generated from
all medical institutes like clinics, hospitals, nursing homes, clinical laboratories, health centres, R&D
centres and other generators of bio medical waste in Surat city has been installed on BOOT basis.
This practice has been awarded best practice award (As identified by ‘Best Practices, Peer Experience
and Reflective Learning- PEARL, NIUA, May 2009).
In the earlier days, when the impact of biomedical waste was not much recognized as infectious
waste, deep burial method was under practice for the purpose of disposal. The only drawback with
the system was likely reuse of medical kit without proper sterilization. This may lead to serious out
spread of transmissible diseases. On realization of the impact of infectious diseases, Government of
Gujarat framed one umbrella act in 1986 covering various activities that have detrimental effect on
surrounding environment. In case of Biomedical waste management a Common Bio Medical Waste
Treatment Facility (CBMWTF) is perhaps the only feasible solution for environment protection and
effective legal compliance.
1. Most of the hospitals, clinics and other bio medical waste generators of the city have
been registered under this scheme. List of the same and total waste collected have
been given in the table below. Bio medical waste generated in all organization is
collected and brought to Centralised Facility and provided treatment as per
‘Biomedical Waste (Management & Handling) Rules, 1998.

2012-2013 351003 3168
This is the project which is first ever in the history of SMC that has been executed on BOOT base.
Here the agency to whom the work is entrusted is allotted only a piece of land measuring 2400 sq.m.
at the token rent of Re. 1 per sq.mt per annum and remaining all the other expenditures related to
renovation and construction of housing facilities for treatment machines such as Incinerator,
Autoclave and Shredder and their purchase is made by agency. The concession period of BOOT
Contract is seven years which is expired on 31st December 2009 and it has been already extended
further on mutually agreeable conditions.

11.5.3.4 Outcome of the Best Practice

As a matter of fact this project is the best example of symbiotic relationship between Municipal
Corporation, agency and generators of Bio-medical waste. Municipal Corporation is benefited by the
way of transferring burden of BMW treatment on to the shoulders of agency .To make the plant's
operation and maintenance economically viable every occupier of the facility generating BMW is
suppose to make the payment to agency for the quantity of BMW being treated. To make it further
more viable agency is paid for minimum of 200 kg per day of BMW irrespective of the actual
quantity of BMW generated by SMC run hospitals / maternity homes, laboratories and urban health
care centres.
11.5.3.5 Emerging Issues

The havoc of plague in Surat helped to convert the city into one of the cleanliest cities of the
country. This was made possible through a complete revamping of the entire solid waste
management system. The system is working efficiently and effectively at present, wherein private
sector is involved.
Bhatar waste disposal site which was used so far; is to be closed. Instead of that Khajod site is being
used for disposal of solid waste. Moreover, the location of the site right within the city limits has
exposed the entire process to the open air and life threatening parasites. Northern/ eastern part of
the city also requires land of around 100 Ha for as land fill site.
Surat Municipal Corporation has been efficient in collecting the solid waste from all over the city and
maintaining cleanliness. The need of the day is maintenance of the system in an efficient manner.
For this purpose, it is required that the collection and disposal system be upgraded. To cater to the
needs of the population 2035, when 3800 MT approximately of solid waste is expected to be
generated everyday in the city, additional containers, collection and transportation vehicles, waste
storage and transfer stations, and infrastructure at the new waste disposal site at Khajod are the
immediate requirements.

Issues which can be identified associated to solid waste management; can be:
 Lack of effective technology for scientific disposal of solid,

 Segregation is not happening at source;
 Lack of public awareness;
 Lack of policy for use of bye-products generated from treatment of solid waste.
11.5.3.6 Strategies
Various strategies on policy and administrative levels need to be adopted for strengthening of Solid
waste management in the city. Some of those can be:
 There should be planning for system strengthening, for example: up gradation of

vehicles;
 All waste generated and collected has to be treated;
 Bhatar landfill site is to be closed (PPP initiative required)
 Separate collection and treatment system for plastic waste, organic waste, e waste
etc are under planning stage.
 Separate Landfill site is required for disposal of dead animals. Three separate well
developed land parcels need to be developed.
11.5.3.7 Future Requirements

Solid waste has increased and hence there is a need to plan for more compost plant, and workout
techno economic feasibility for waste to energy systems. Also various models for reducing the waste
need to be reviewed.

12 SOCIAL INFRASTRUCTURE
The term 'social infrastructure' covers a wide range of facilities and services that are provided by
government to support and sustain the well being of communities. High quality social Infrastructure
in cities provides good quality of life. The assessment of social infrastructure for Surat is largely
based on secondary data and examines in particular the issue of municipal service provision in each
sector.
Development of physical infrastructure cannot usher overall development at the desired level if the
social infrastructure is not simultaneously developed. This chapter reviews the provision of social
infrastructure facilities in Surat which include educational facilities like pre-primary, primary,
secondary. higher education special institute. health facilities like public hospitals and health
centres, recreational facilities like swimming pools, community hall, etc. and Fire and Emergency
services. Hence this chapter focuses on identifying the gaps in provision of social infrastructure
services in the city as to improve the scenario through various mechanisms.
12.1 EDUCATION
Education decides the development pattern of any city, it exhibits how urbanize a city is through its
literacy level and exposure to different education facilities. Surat consist of educational facilities
ranging from primary school to research level, which are provided by a host of agencies, ranging
from the central government, state government and local government to the agencies aided by the
state government as well as private institutions. The table below shows the number of Schools
existing in Surat city by the year 2008, according to language medium of education.

12.2 HEALTH
The city has emerged in recent years from decay to resurgence, as an example for other civic
agencies to follow. Devastated by the plague in 1994, the city got increased and improved health
facilities. A Civil hospital has come up along with a new medical college‐ SMIMER set up by SMC. Tapi
river floods in Surat is the cause of many diseases like malaria, filaria, dengue, etc. This problem is

further compounded by the mosquitogenic condition of the city . A separate department is created
by SMC to look after impacts by Vector borne diseases.
12.2.1 HEALTH FACILITIES

There were around 28 major hospitals registered under SMC in the year 2006‐07, with capacity of all
together 1119 beds, and staff capacity of total 2844 person consisting total 408 permanent doctors,
182 temporary doctors and 512 nurses. Also there are Major hospitals, like Smimer is 750 bedded
hospital, with total staff of 1559 in the year 2006‐07, consisting 254 permanent doctors and 312
nurses, and Maskati hospital, which is 120 bedded with total staff of 383, consisting 68 permanent
doctors, 58 temporary doctors and 57 nurses. The ever‐increasing population in the city is expected
to put pressures on the existing health facilities. By the year 2009, around 305 medical facilities are
registered with the SMC, of these as many as 92.59 percent hospitals are run by private
organizations. The table below shows the number of Medical health facilities registered under SMC
by the year 2009. According to Bio‐vision Medical Waste collection centre in 2009, total 3250 Health
related facilities are existing in Surat city, comprising of different range of health specialties, and
treatment facilities. There are 4 blood banks, 158 dental clinics, 28 polyclinics, 2048 Clinics and
dispensaries, 237 laboratories, 36 Urban Health centres which includes Smimer hospital (Surat
Medical College) and Maskati hospital, and total 738 Hospitals ranging from capacity of 5 ‐ 150 beds.

There are a total of 305 medical facilities are registered with the SMC by 2009, consisting with
highest number of health facilities provided in Central zone, and minimum in South zone but overall
it can be seen that number of medical facilities are increasing after 1994 plague and 2006 Floods to
serve the city to combat all type health hazards affecting the city health.

13 TRADE, INDUSTRIES AND COMMERCE
13.1 URBAN ECONOMY

Surat city has been an important hub for economic activities since ages. In early times, the city was
well known as a 'Port town' and dealings for import and export were through Surat. Portuguese,
British and other European countries had establishments in Surat. Today, Surat urban agglomeration
accounts for 8% of the State’s total population. Industrial development in Surat district is attributed
to the presence of a large number of diamond processing, textiles and chemical and petrochemical
industries. It processes 10 out of out of 12 varieties of diamonds in the world contributing to Rs.
45,000 crore, which is approximately 65% of the total diamond exports from India.
Surat is also known as 'Synthetic Capital of India', hosts over 65,000 power looms and provides over
seven lakhs jobs in the district. Surat has been very successful in attracting a sizable amount of
Foreign Direct Investment in various sectors like energy, oil and petroleum. A significant investment
of Rs. 3,000 crore (726 million USD) in Hazira terminal project is one of the largest Greenfield FDIs in
India.
There are over 41,300 small and medium industries functioning in the district. Some of the main
industries are Textiles, Chemicals, Dying and Printing, Diamond Processing, Zari (silver) making, and;
engineering and related activities (including manufacturing machines and equipment). Maximum
number of (nearly 24,000 units) in small and medium enterprises is related to textile industry in the
district followed by repairing and service industry with more than 11,000 units. Most of the small
scale industries are located in Choryasi (Western Surat), Mangrol and Olpad (Northern Surat),
Mandvi (Central Surat) and Palsana (Southern Surat) tehsils of the district.
Surat has a domestic airport which is well connected to different metros. It has daily flights to Delhi,
Jaipur and Ahmedabad. Government of Gujarat has also undertaken an aviation master plan for the
state which prioritizes development as well as upgradation of Surat airport. The other nearest
airports are Mumbai, Vadodara and Ahmedabad. The upgraded Surat airport is envisaged to offer
direct air connectivity to important destinations in India and abroad. This is expected to boost
commercial activities in the city as well as in the district, leading to upsurge in the demand in
hospitality sector, which is primarily driven by the corporate tourism.
Emergence of a petrochemical complex, gems and jewelry Park and the centrally promoted Surat
SEZ are expected to further fuel the industrial and economic growth of the city. The expansion plans
of Hazira port is envisaged in two phases. The first phase the development of port infrastructure to
handle Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) imports, and the second phase would offer port facilities for
handling dry bulk and containerized cargo. The port facility would help in attracting sizeable
investments in the coming future.
Magdalla and Hazira ports in Surat have good rail and road connectivity. Magdalla port is only 2 km
away from the state highway and 15 km away from NH-8. Hazira port in Surat, has close proximity
to the high speed dual carriageway which is under construction. The port is well connected with
main Mumbai-Delhi Freight Corridor is expected to be a major driver for the industrial growth Hazira
port.

Hazira is known as the 'Gateway Port' to serve the hinterlands of North, West and Central India as it
is situated in the midst of one of the most industrialized area in the country. It is deep water, all
weather and direct berthing port in Surat. The existing industrial portfolio of Hazira includes
industrial activities such as petrochemicals, fertilizers, heavy engineering, steel, energy and port
related activities. More than 20 large and medium companies are located in Hazira, including Bharat
Petroleum Corporation, Cairn Energy, Essar Power, Hindustan Petroleum and Larsen & Toubro,
Reliance, NTPC among others. Shell has established an LNG Terminal at Hazira in 2004.
Magdalla port situated on the western coast of India in Southern Gujarat about 16 km upstream of
Tapi river is a lighter age port. Magdalla port is only 2 km away from the state highway and 15 km
away from NH-8. The nearby broad gauge railway line and Surat railway station are 15 and 16 km
respectively away from the port. The port is well connected by road with Rajasthan, Madhya
Pradesh, and North Maharashtra which are hinterland area to the port.
The urbanisation trends in India are a direct reflection of the structural changes that are taking place
in the economy. The combined contribution of industry and services to GDP is significantly higher
than that of agriculture. The urban areas are likely to play an increasingly important role with the
continuing liberalisation of the economy. Much of the growth of the economy will come from
economic activities that are likely to be concentrated in and around existing cities and towns,
particularly large cities. Cities with transport and telecom linkages with global economy, are the
preferred destinations for investments. However, there is inadequate recognition of the role that
cities play in economic development. The cities need to be supported with improved planning and
infrastructure to accommodate growth, better governance and management.
Surat ranked 9th in India with GDP of $40 billion in the Financial Year 2011-12, which was $14 billion
in 2010. The per capita GDP which was $8000 in 2010. Surat is known for diamonds, textiles and
recently for diamond-studded gold jewelry manufacturing. Surat registered GDP of 11.5% for seven
fiscal years from 2001-2008 which was the fastest growing GDP in India. The City accounts for:
1. 90% of the world’s total rough diamond cutting and polishing,

2. 99.99% of the nation’s total rough diamond cutting and polishing,
3. 90% of the nation’s total diamond exports,
4. 40% of the nation’s total man made fabric production,
5. 28% of the nation’s total man- made fibre production
6. 18% of the nation’s total man- made fibre export, and
7. 12% of the nation’s total fabric production.
13.2 STATE GOVERNMENT INITIATIVES

The State Government of Gujarat published revised industrial policy to promote industrial activities
in the state subsequently in 2003 and 2009. The basic aim was to create an atmosphere which
should inspire investors to think of Gujarat as investment hub by availing information and facilitating
investment friendly state through reincarnation of district industries centers and facilitation at state
level. The state has had a proven track record of attracting high volumes of investment and as a
result, becoming the most favored investment destination in India.

Industrial policy of 2003 was focused to provide infrastructure and empower the industrial estates,
promoting better quality of life in urban areas, human resources development, labour reforms,
environment zoning and mapping, Carbon Credit Exchange Program compensation, promoting agro
processing industries, cluster development approach, assistance for technology upgradation,
Technology Acquisition and Patent Tracking Fund, Quality Upgradation Scheme, investment for
employment in sectors of textiles, apparel parks, Gems and Jewelry parks; market development and
promotions, power sector reforms, tax reforms, rationalization in charges and duties with
monitoring mechanism.
Later in 2009, the New Industrial Policy for the state of Gujarat took into account the context of the
current global meltdown. Given the strong and accelerated growth and development exhibited by
the state over the recent years, Gujarat is expected to be one of the key drivers for growth in the
Indian economy. Gujarat has achieved tremendous growth in the industrial sector and as a result,
has emerged as one of the leading industrialized states in India contributing nearly 16.1%3 to the
country’s industrial output. While Gujarat accounts for 4.99% of India's population, its share in the
country's GDP for the year 2011-12 [at constant (2004-05) prices] is 7.61%. Gross State Domestic
Product (GSDP) at factor cost at current prices in 2011-12 has been estimated at Rs. 6,11,767 crore
registering a growth of 15.3% over the previous year. GSDP at factor cost at constant (2004-05)
prices, in 2011-12 has been estimated at Rs. 3,98,884 crore showing an increase of 8.5% during the
year. The share of primary, secondary and tertiary sectors is 21.8%, 36.1% and 42.1%respectively to
the total GSDP in 2011-12. Gujarat has also registered an increase of 13.8% in the per capita income
for 2011-12, which has been estimated at Rs. 89,668 as against Rs. 78,802 in 2010-11, at current
prices.

The development, in the state has always been a policy-led inclusive development approach which
has eventually attached a very high importance to the need for ensuring sustainable development.
The new Industrial Policy would therefore capitalize on the inherent entrepreneurial characteristics

of the State. The new Industrial Policy in addition to addressing a wide range of areas of
intervention, would also give adequate thrust to ensuring holistic development in the state.
The policy of 2009 mentions the Vision of GoG as “Gujarat aspires to become a beacon of
comprehensive social and economic development”. The primary policy objectives are as under: (1)
Facilitate investments in the state, (2) Employment generation and Employability enhancement and
(3) Adherence to high quality standards. The policy thereby indicates the necessary provisioning and
the facilitation which would be made by the Government departments and through private
entrepreneurs under Public Private Partnership (PPP) framework in the area of facilities like power,
water, gas, road, railway, port connectivity, communications, quality human resources in adequate
number etc. Since choice for investment is also directly governed by factors of overall physical and
social quality of life in the State, adequate interventions have been planned and proposed therein
for the purpose.
For the Twelfth Plan period, Gujarat's development vision will be guided by continued emphasis on
human development and inclusive growth, while aiming at sustainable double digit growth which is
environmentally sustainable with harmonious and balanced development in agriculture,
manufacturing and services. Other objectives of the State are:
 Increased livelihood opportunities

 Empowerment of the youth and women
 Improved quality of life, especially of the poor - both in rural and urban areas
 Good governance and improved citizen centric services
 Improved effectiveness, efficiency and transparency in programs directly aimed at the
poor
 Meeting the challenges of urbanization especially in terms of infrastructure, services
and governance
 Decentralized Planning through ATVT (grass-root level planning and taluka-centric
developmental governance), and
 Focused attention on balanced regional development through the State's three flagship
programs
13.3 ECONOMIC ACTIVITIES IN SURAT URBAN AGGLOMERATION

Historically, Surat was a port town and in early days, it was the main hub of trading with the
European nations. Over a period of time, Surat lost this identity however, the topography, linkages
and atmosphere has attracted a number of investors, traders and industrialists. Later, the hand
woven Zari works gained fame at global level followed by establishments of synthetic cloth, diamond
cutting and polishing and allied industries. Increasing population has boosted the real estate market
with its sub-sectors.
In the year 2000, it was reported by the Directorate of Economics and Statistics, Government of
Gujarat based on The Fourth Economic Census, 1998 that Ahmedabad district accounted for nearly
12% in the State total enterprises, which is the highest among all the districts. The district-wise
percentage share of enterprises in State total aggregate is varying between 5% to 10% for each of

the districts with Rajkot (6.09%), Mahesana (6.80%) Sabarkantha (6.49%), Kheda (6.59%), Anand
(6.66%), Vadodara (5.52%) and Surat (9.56%). Interestingly, Surat is ranking Second position in
sharing the enterprises established in the Gujarat state. Further, the quarterly review of Gujarat
Economy, 2011 discusses the district-wise details of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises. The
document reveals that during the period of 01-07-2011 to 30-09-2011 Surat district registered with
5,914 Micro, 386 small and 17-Medium enterprise with subsequent employment to 32174, 7204 and
1286 workers respectively.
Figure 52: Enterprise Establishments in SUDA
Based on the records from the District Industries
Commissioner (DIC) and the Gujarat Industrial
Development Corporation (GIDC), an analysis was
performed on the overall industrial/commercial units
that has been established in Surat till year 2012. The
analysis reveals that total Enterprises established in
SUDA is 50,180 out of which within SMC limits are
49,437 and 743 in SUDA excluding SMC area. Further,
this is distributed among four blocks namely Palsana,
Kamrej, Chorasi and Olpad in which this enterprise
establishments are 302, 98, 23 and 330 respectively.
Following figure shows the composition and share of enterprise establishments in SUDA and SMC
area which suggests that there are 99% of enterprise establishments within SMC limits and the rest
is in the SUDA (Excluding SMC).
Figure 53: Enterprises in SUDA excluding SMC Out of total enterprises established in
SUDA (excluding SMC area) 40% are
in Palsana, 13% in Kamrej, 3% in
Chorasi and 44% in Olpad. Here, it is
to be noted that the Olpad and
Kamrej taluka are emerging
enterprise centers whereas the
Palsana has still a very good potential
for development. Further, there are
additionally, 753 enterprise
establishments in the peri-SUDA area
within these four taluka boundaries
under the Surat District.
Surat urban agglomeration has a variety of trading, commercial and industrial establishments.
Lowest sex ratio in the Gujarat state shows a significant presence of male workers in the urban area.
In addition, the 39% of population in the city belongs to the main worker category of Census of India,
2011 for Surat urban agglomeration.

Figure 54: Established industries

The Hazira Industrial area and port is located in the northern banks of Tapi river and is adjacent to
the Surat urban area. It is home to several major processing facilities/ manufacturing centers for
number of establishments. In general, Surat’s industrial system is a complex blend of home-based,
small scale and medium scale industries largely dependent on semi-skilled and unskilled labor. Some
of the major establishments around the city are Reliance petrochemicals, Essar steel, Larsen &
Toubro, ONGC, KRIBHCO, Shell, ABG Shipyard, HPCL, Indo Burma Petrolium Ltd, Cairn Energy, British
Gas, Ambuja Cement, Welspun, Garden Vareli, NTPC and Torrent power.
There are over 41,300 small scale industries (SSI) functioning in Surat district. Some of the main
industries under SSIs in Surat are textiles, chemicals dying & printing, diamond processing, Zari

(Silver) making and engineering and related activities (manufacturing machineries & equipment).
Maximum number of SSI units (24,000 Units) are related to textile industry in the district followed by
repairing & service industry with more than 11,000 units.
Based on the Surat District Profile 2006-07, it was reported by the Industrial Entrepreneur
Memoranda (IEMs) filed that the total investments during 1988-97 were Rs. 33,251 crore (USD 7.92
billion) and I Rs. 35,975 crore (USD 8.57 billion) during 1998-2007.Around 70% of the investments

Given India’s growing population and lifestyles, the Surat textile industry is poised to grow to meet
the internal as well as exports demands. The technical advantages, vocational skill development and
research facilities for textiles, within the city, provide a unique opportunity for the economic growth
of Surat.
The diamond industry too, has similar advantages and thus, is slowly shifting from diamond cutting
to the manufacturing of Jewellery.
SGCCI has already started focusing on expansion of textiles from 'Fiber to Fashion' and 'Diamond to
Jewellery' through exhibitions, research, etc. It has also set up a convention and exhibition center
and special economic zones for diamonds as well as garments are taken up.

On the western front of Surat is Hazira. Considering the unique mix of economy, considering the
present conditions with niche products i.e. synthetic textiles/diamonds and due to the growing role
of Hazira Industrial area, the economic growth of Surat is expected to sustain or increase over next
two decades.
Following table shows details on the major sectors namely textile processing industries, diamond
industries, weaving industries, chemical industries, engineering establishments, industries,
embroidery and agro based industries. With Major industrial establishments in Hazira Notified Area,
there are number of supporting and dependent establishments in Surat.

13.4 THE DFC- DMIC EFFECT

Government of India plans to develop a Dedicated Freight Corridor (DFC) linking Delhi, Mumbai,
Kolkata, and Chennai. The proposed DFC passes through six states in India, of which, Gujarat
accounts for 38% (564 Km) of total DFC length (1483 Km).The influenced area of 150 km on either
sides of DFC is being developed as 'Delhi Mumbai Industrial Corridor' (DMIC).
Almost 62% of the total area of Gujarat (18 out of 26 districts) would be benefited by DMIC
development.
The State government has identified 82 links in the DMIC Influenced area to upgrade them into
two/four lane carriageway offering connectivity between ports, industrial estates, hinterlands,
markets and points of agricultural produce.

13.5 RECOMMENDATIONS RECEIVED FROM SGCCI
13.5.1 OBNOXIOUS AND HAZARDOUS INDUSTRIAL ZONE

Present obnoxious and hazardous industrial zone, mainly in Udhna and on Udhna Magdalla Road,
now has been converted into commercial and/ or residential zone. However, due to zoning, the
industrial units, mainly consisting of SMSs are treated accordingly, which has deprived them taking
benefit of various State Government and Central Government schemes. Such zones may be
converted to either commercial or residential zone. Residential areas should be kept be away from
such hazardous zone.
13.5.2 GENERAL INDUSTRIAL AND HAZARDOUS INDUSTRIAL ZONE

General Industrial and Hazardous Industrial Zone shall be provided in the new development plan.
Budhiya, Gabheni, Talangpore near Sachin should be zoned as textile processing and /or chemical
zone. Considering average area of around 15,000 sq.m. per unit total land area of around 20-25
lakhs sq.m. be reserved for around 175 units for such zone fornew industrial units or existing units
which might need to shift. Paper and pulp mills also be identified in this zone.
Ichhchaapore, Kawas, Olpad, and Pinjrat and their surrounding area may be earmarked as General
Industrial Zone. Many MSMEs, mainly engineering units will be in a position to establish them in this
zone.
13.5.3 RESIDENTIAL ZONE

Residential Zone for people at large and industrial workers be earmarked towards South SUDA while
industries may be located towards northern parts of SUDA.
13.5.4 DIAMOND INDUSTRY

Diamond Industry may be shifted near Mota Varachha (in northern parts) and bourse may be
established in the same area.
13.5.5 F.S.I.
For all the industrial zone, present F.S.I. of 1 may be increased to keep pace with the future growth
of industry and scarcity of land, keeping structural design constraints in mind, there may be common
F.S.I. for residential, commercial and industrial zones.
13.5.6 INDUSTRIAL PARKS

Where the zone is earmarked for Industrial Zone, for workers' residence 15% to 20% and for
commercial purpose 15% to 20% land may be allocated.
13.5.7 SEAPORT AND LOGISTICS

As in future, port will be fully functional at Hazira and will generate new business opportunities.
Land area of around 50 lakhs sq.m. be reserved for this purpose, along with a 20% provision for
residences in the same area. In and around Hazira or on Sachin Magdalla Road, logistic park may be
provided to reduce burden on roads and other infrastructure of Surat.

13.5.8 COMMON FACILITIES
It is to be ensured that our industry grows as a cluster, which will require common facilities, to name
a few, steam generation, effluent treatment plant, training center, laboratories etc. which may be
developed in each Industrial Zone. As in SUDA area Industrial Solid Land Fill Waste Management
facility is limited, currently it is being sent to site – at present being sent to Ankleshwar and other
part of State and also outside Gujarat. Urgent need to set up such facility in SUDA area is much
needed. Currently average daily 300 T is generated which is taken to various sites after paying Rs.
800 to Rs. 3000 per T towards transportation. Hazardous waste disposal site needs to be identified in
or around SUDA.
13.5.9 COMMERCIAL ZONE

Khatodara-Sachin main road should be converted to carry out mainly commercial activities, which, if
needed, be extended to periphery. Revision of F.S.I. is needed on this area. In Navagam – Varachha
area as there exists no light industries, this area must be marked as residential and/or commercial
area.
13.5.10 IT/ITES INDUSTRIES

Surat and surrounding area has been a major user of ITES. Diamond, Textiles and Hazira industries
have used IT to its maximum benefits. Many IT companies, looking for anopportunity in II tier cities,
will come to SUDA area if appropriate infrastructure andlocational advantage is provided to them 3
lakhs sq.m. may be reserved for 15-20 units near Vesu or Outer Ring Road.
13.5.11 AGRO INDUSTRIES

As South Gujarat, even though considered as a fruit bowl of Gujarat, has not been able to develop
into Agro Industries Region, but in future it is bound be promoted as Agro Zone. Reservation for
APMC for its cold storage, processing and other requirements should be kept near Abhva on outer
ring road to support highly perishable items under dealing and need airport connectivity. Also,
imported fruits are brought in from Mumbai. Government land for food processing zone may be
identified with an area of around 100-125 hectares of area. APMC as well as private investors may
initiate the such establishments in the vicinity of proposed cargo airport.
13.5.12 EXTENSION OF SUDA LIMITS

Existing SUDA limits may be extended covering Navsari, Kamrej, Olpad, Hansot, Dumas, Bardoli, Kim
and Mandvi, which is also to be connected by Rapid and cheap Mass Transportation. It is noted that
out of existing area of SUDA 50% area is under SMC’s jurisdiction, resulting very little scope for
industrial pocket planning. Local Railway facilities connecting various industrial pockets in
surrounding the SUDA area will promote residentia land industrial inter-movement of work force.
Transit facilities also should be increased for existing locations.
13.5.13 DMIC AND DFC

Industrial and commercial zoning must be done keeping in mind proposed DMIC and DFC planning.
Logistics Park can be developed in the periphery of stations under this corridor. Area near Bhestan
and Gothan must be earmarked for logistics and other ancillary purpose.

13.5.14 MISCELLANEOUS
Land prices need to be controlled, to increase warehouses, industrial parks and industries in specific
industrial land pockets to promote shifting of industries to its appropriate location. Survey of existing
zoning should be carried out to identify the actual number of industries established in that specific
zone and accordingly new zoning to be done. Multiple nuclear zones pertaining to specific clusters
should be promoted around SUDA periphery with building of minimum common infrastructure and
transportation connectivity. Dahej Development model should be understood and followed. As in
DP, the land is only to be reserved but actual development may be performed later on the basis of
costs, taxes from people and grants. Possibility of setting up infrastructure must be considered on
BOT basis.
Major road corridors may be identified connecting peripheral industrial pockets. If possible, concept
of local trains, like Mumbai may be thought of with a longer horizon of planning period. Land prices
are very high around proposed outer ring road, difficulty in shifting of existing industrial
establishments from city. Any industrial unit constructing Green Building, based on standard
practice, be given additional F.S.I.

14 HERITAGE AND CONSERVATION
Surat city has a fairly strong historical background and heritage sites. It played a pivotal role in the
National Freedom Struggle of India. Public and private buildings in municipal areas have heritage
value. These sites are beautiful proofs of town history and it generates revenue in the long run.
Therefore it is very important to conserve the heritage sites which are located in different parts of
Surat and also it is the duty of all local governments to initiate inner city revivals. This chapter
focuses on the need for identification of the heritage structures in the city and the strategies to be
adopted for its preservation.
Heritage means significant architectural monuments, works of monumental sculpture and painting,
elements or structures of an archaeological nature, inscriptions, cave dwellings and combinations of
features, which are of outstanding universal value from the point of view of history, art or science.
Heritage plays important role in the socioeconomic and cultural profile of the city. Urban heritage
comprises archaeological sites, remains, ruins, and monuments protected by the Archaeological
Survey of India (ASI)and their counterparts in the States, and also a large number of unprotected
buildings, groups of buildings, neighborhoods, and public spaces including landscapes and natural
features which provide character and distinctive identity to cities.
Surat has some good heritage resources which are spectator of city growth. Urban heritage is
classified under two categories.
14.1 TANGIBLE HERITAGE

This includes buildings and physical elements of architectural and historical significance. The
foremost heritage assets are the Indo‐Islamic monuments of the 15th to 17th centuries, British and
Dutch buildings. Categorization of Surat’s Tangible Heritage has been in the following ways.
14.1.1 HERITAGE BUILDINGS

• Religious : Temples, Mosques , Churches, etc.
• Institutional: Colleges, Schools, Offices
• Historic : Fort, Dutch Post office and buildings with associative significance
14.1.2 GROUP OF HERITAGE BUILDINGS

This category includes areas/precincts which are of heritage significance due to a Contiguous
Heritage character.
• Heritage Wards : Municipal Wards with high heritage content
•Heritage Streetscapes: Streets which have heritage significance due to cluster of heritage buildings
• Riverine Heritage: This includes areas and structures associated with the River and its
Archaeological sites, immediate surroundings including banks.Many Monuments in Surat have been
declared to be of national importance under the Ancient Monument and Archaeological Site and
Remains Act, 1958.

 Fortifications, Administrative Complexes: Surat castle/fort, Surat Municipal Corporation Office.
 Memorials, Tombs: The Clock Tower, Gopi Talav, Kavi Narmad's home Saraswati Mandir,
Khavaja Didar Dargah, Rander Islam Gymkhana.

14.1.4 URBAN VILLAGES

Urbanised historic villages or traditional settlements incorporated within the urbanlimits like Rander,
Katargam, Singanpore, Ved, Fulpada, Vesu from that Rander was the principal commercial centre,
long before Surat came into prominence. It was ancient town where Arabs and Kafa came and
settled in 11th/12th century. They over powered Jain population and became rulers. Trading with
Malacca, China, Sumatra, etc., spices, silk, musk and porcelain were the major business. Living
settlements such as the historic Walled City with its traditional
mohallas/sheri/wad and historic housing stock including havelis, gala type houses e.g. Zapa Bazar,
Gopi Pura, and Salabatpura.
14.2 INTANGIBLE HERITAGE

This comprises movable artifacts, handicrafts, folklore, myths, legends, spirituality,traditional
knowledge, rites and rituals, festive events, visual and performing arts, music,literature, language,
dialects, traditional medicine, culinary traditions etc. which areintimately linked to the built
heritage.In the recent initiative taken by the Surat Municipal Corporation towards Heritage.
Conservation has identified the Intangible Heritage in following categorizes.

14.2.1 ARTS AND CRAFTS
This category includes all traditional arts, crafts, plays, dances, music, literature, poetry, events and
activities which are of any heritage significance. (E.g. Navsari weaving)
14.2.2 CULTURES AND TRADITIONS

This category includes significant and symbolic cultures and traditions of the communities of Surat
which are of Heritage significance(E.g. Kite Flying, Ghees Festival, Navratri Celebration)
14.2.3 TRADITIONAL TRADE AND COMMERCE

This category includes all traditional trades/commerce of surat and the places, events, activities,
traditional markets, associated with these traditional and commerce. (E.g. Zari trade, Power Looms,
Diamond Industry)

Bhoras, Jains, Parsis)
14.2.6 HISTORY OF SURAT

• History related to associations with the events/persons like arrival of British
• Trade and Commerce related History
• Folklore Literature, documents related to the evolution of the city
14.3 BUILT HERITAGE AND SITES

According to the Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Sites and Remains Act, 1958 "Ancient
Monument" means any structure, erection or monument, or any tumulus or place of interment, or
any cave, rock sculpture, inscription or monolith which is of historical, archaeological or artistic
interest and which has been in existence for not less than 100 years and includes:
 Remains of an ancient monument;

 Site of an ancient monument;
Such portion of land adjoining the site of an ancient monument as may be required for fencing or
covering in or otherwise preserving such monument, and the means of access to, and convenient
inspection of an ancient monument. However, for the purpose of documentation of Built Heritage
under National Mission, the scope has been enhanced by defining any structure that belongs to pre
independence period and 1950 has been considered as the cutoff date. Such built heritage will be
considered for documentation that is architecturally, historically, archaeologically or aesthetically
significant for reconstruction of regional history.

14.4 ISSUES
14.4.1 LACK OF INTEREST BY LOCAL GOVERNMENT IN PRESERVING THE

STRUCTURES
Since historical times, Surat is developing as an industrial and business centre. And the city has few
sites of tourist which might be one of the reasons for less interest by local government and people,
towards maintaining and preserving the heritage structures in the city.
14.4.2 FAILURE OF HERITAGE WALK ATTEMPT

SMC’s attempt to start a Heritage walk in Surat City has not succeeded so far. The reason sought for
the failure is absence of awareness in the residents of Surat city as most of the residents are
migrated from other states and are not aware of the existence of the buildings of Heritage and
architectural significance. As most of the residents of Surat are in the city for economic needs, they
lack the interest in heritage structures.
14.4.3 LACK OF FACILITIES AT THE HERITAGE SITES

Most of the heritage sites lack basic facilities like Parking, Drinking water, Sanitary blocks causing
inconvenience and hence decrease in the number of potential tourists.
14.4.4 LACK OF AWARENESS IN PUBLIC

Due to lack of information & publication and awareness among people about importance of heritage
sites, structures, from tourism as well as economic point of view people are not bothered about
preserving such structures. Many of monuments have been spoiled by local public by various ways.
(E.g. British and Dutch Cemeteries)
14.4.5 ABSENCE / ENACTMENT OF RULES AND REGULATIONS

In absence / enactment of area planning rules and regulation around the heritage sites, at many
places the neighborhood surroundings of the heritage site are encroaching in to the site.(e.g. Gopi
Taval, Mirja Shami no Rozo).

Today, Surat is one of the major industrial city, contributing major shares of output, especially in
textile manufacturing, trade, diamond cutting and polishing industries, intricate Zari works, chemical
industries and the gas-based industries at Hazira, established by leading industry houses, such as
ONGC, Reliance, ESSAR, Shell etc. Surat is a pivotal centre on the Ahmedabad – Mumbai 'Golden
Corridor' as well as on the 225 km long industrial belt having direct linkages with the industrial urban
centres of Vaodara, Ankleshwar and Vapi.
In Surat Urban Agglomeration, SMC is the centre of economical activities and Surat city forms the
core of SUDA. The total area of SUDA is 715 sq.km. including 326.5 sq.km. of SMC area. SMC along
with SUDA are trying to cope up with the urbanizing land and decreasing gap between demand-
supply of urban basic services, with a right kind of governing system, which is concerned about
public participation, urban poor and their requirements along with the overall quality of
Environment in the region. People are exposed to a whole variety of factors that can either promote
good health or be hazardous to health, including the physical living environment. SMC along with
SUDA has improved health via their material, service-provision, cultural, and aesthetic attributes.
They also offer opportunities for cost-effective interventions that can serve many people even if
carried out on a small scale. Existing health-promoting infrastructure (e.g., drains; Water distribution
networks; Solid waste management, etc.) can, in some situations, be upgraded to meet the local
health demands. Health hazards and inequities remain, however, and new threats have emerged,
but the knowledge and technologies for creating a healthy city are available.
Urban environment can be divided into two parts: Natural urban environment and Built Urban
Environment. The natural urban environments include water bodies, eco sensitive areas and natural
resources. The term built environment refers to the human-made surroundings that provide the
setting for human activity, ranging in scale from personal shelter and buildings to neighbourhoods
and cities that can often include their supporting infrastructure, such as water supply or energy
networks. This chapter reviews the existing natural resources like water bodies, eco sensitive areas
and natural reserves in SUDA region.
15.2 WATER BODIES IN THE CITY

The Tapi River runs through the city of Surat, is one of the major rivers of peninsular India with a
length of around 724 km. It is one of only three rivers in peninsular India that run from east to west.
The river covers 3601 hectare of the total land under SUDA along with small portion of Mindhola
estuary as well on southern part of SUDA area. SUDA region have about 898 no of small and large
size lakes covering about 548ha of land area under lakes and pond.

15.3 ECO-SENSITIVE AREAS AND NATURAL PRESERVES

Songadh, Uchchhal and Vyara villages in Surat district are notified as Eco-sensitive zone. Nearest
Eco-sensitive Zone Vyara is also 42 km away from the SUDA boundary.
Gaviyar Lake, Karuna Sagar Ovara, Umra Ovara, Umbhel Talav, Ugat Botenical Garden & Lake,
Causway at Rander, Lake at Tena village etc. are sites where local and migratory birds can find
season wise. Black headed Gulls can found in more numbers at Causeway from December to
February. Sarus crane and many other birds species can be found at lake near Tena Village. Huge
number of lesser Flamingos visit Surat city in month of June - July, most of them are found at Umra
& Karuna Sagar Ovara. Botenical Garden and Umbhel Lake also have good bird’s life of local species.
Ecological sites need conservation to preserve flora and fauna. Some of them like Ugat, Umbhel,
Gaviyar site already conserve as ecological site.

15.4 FLORA AND FAUNA OF SUDA AREA

Many types of species of Flora and Fauna are used to be found within SUDA & SMC area, especially
in such villages where Agricultural Land Use has covered more area comparatively. SUDA & SMC
area has more number of lake/pond, two rivers the Tapi and Mindhola are passing through and
Arabian Sea is adjacent to the SUDA area, where flora and fauna can found more in numbers. List of
local and migratory flora, fauna, reptiles and butterflies are listed in Annexure. (Source: Nature Club,

15.5 IMPACT OF URBANIZATION ON ENVIRONMENT
Due to the industrialization a sudden population explosion in form of migration has taken place in
the urban areas. The pace of urbanization has been very fast due to which it has not been possible to
maintain and serve the population with required standard of living. The rapid urbanization has also
given rise to a lot of pollution generation within the environment. Pollution is the introduction of
contaminants into an environment that causes instability, disorder, harm or discomfort to the
physical systems or living organisms. Pollution can take the form of chemical substances or energy
such as noise, heat, or light energy Pollutants, the elements of pollution. The major forms of
pollution considered during study, includes air pollution, water pollution, noise pollution and visual
pollution.
 Pollution Control Mechanisms
 Institutional Framework
The GPCB is the nodal agency that looks after the enforcement and implementation of
environmental laws in the city. The environmental management of the city is looked after by several
agencies. All these agencies are to act under the co-ordination of GPCB.
GPCB implements pollution control laws in the entire state and is guided by the Central Pollution
Control Board. The SMC’s role assumes significance as the provider and facilitator of any
development in the city and SUDA area.
State Public Works Department is responsible for the maintenance of the major water bodies in the
city. The State Highways Department and the National Highway Regulatory Authority are responsible
for the maintenance of the highways in the city. The Regional Transport Office in Surat has
responsibility to the Vehicular growth in the city and the Surat Traffic Police is responsible for the
implementation of traffic management initiatives.
Local body has responsibility to implementation of MSW rules, 2000 and amended thereafter, along
with plastic waste management and handling rules, 2011.
 Regulatory Framework
GPCB is empowered to take legal action and punishable measures against law offenders under the
EP Act. The Board can also monitor the industrial discharge and terminate the operations if an
industry is found flouting the norms.
15.6 AIR
Air pollution is the human introduction of chemicals, particulate matter or biological materials into
the air that cause harm or discomfort to humans or other living organisms, or damages the natural
environment. Ambient air quality is being monitored by GPCB regularly at three locations in Surat.
They are: Air India Building, SVR Engineering College and BRC Udhna (Industrial).
NOTE: Ambient Air Quality Standards (CPCB) for Rural and Residential areas are as under:

PM10 100 µg/NM3
SO2 80 µg/NM3
NOx 80 µg/NM3

Source: Annual report of GPCB
The NOx levels have always been below the CPCB prescribed standards. SO2 levels, which were
earlier above the prescribed limits have come down significantly and are now below the limits. Air
quality has been monitored at 3 stations in Surat that indicate overall fall in SPM and RSPM.
Through the implementation of the Air Pollution Action Plan, it has been possible to bring down SPM
(Suspended Particulate Matter) and RSPM (Respirable Suspended Particulate Matter) in the city of
Surat significantly. In regard to SO2 (Sulphur Dioxides) and NOx (Oxides of Nitrogen) which are the
other relevant parameters in assessing the quality of air, in all stations, they remained within limits.
The Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) in conjunction with IIT-Delhi recently surveyed 88 cities
around the country in year 2009-10, as per survey Surat has been ranked 78th in the country and 6th
in Gujarat state with respect to Air pollution with Air CEPI score of 46.00. While comparing it with

Ahmedabad with air CEPI score of 62.75 which ranked 2nd in country and 1st in Gujarat, it is very clear
that Air pollution action plan has been implemented very effectively in Surat area.
Major milestones achieved in implementation of Surat Air Pollution Control Action Plan are as
follows:
 SMC / BRTS have introduced 1851 passenger buses & 914 school buses on road. There
are more than 28,726 rickshaws in Surat; out of which 95% are CNG auto rickshaws.
(Source: RTO, Surat)
 Surat Municipal corporation has introduce mass public transport system such as BRTS
and City bus service and also planning to start Metro rail project particularly for SUDA
area on outer ring road
 Under Vehicle Inspection Program, many PUC Centers (as per revised system) are
registered in Surat.
 Regarding industrial air pollution control, industries having major boilers are identified
and in process of air pollution control measures in form of ESP [electro static
precipitators], Bag Filters.
 The industrial units are categorized based on fuel consumption & performance of
existing APCD (air pollution control devices).
 Many industrial units in pandesara and Sachin have switched over to Natural Gas or
coal (instead of chindi waste) as fuel. Looking to the present situation and pace of
urbanization, the urban air quality is expected to deteriorate faster in future. So, the
long term strategies should be formulated and time bound targets should be set for
achieving healthy and safe air environment.
 District level Air pollution control committee has been formed under the chairmanship
of Surat District collector to implement the air pollution control plan and review it at
every 3 months. The committee consists of officials from Surat RTO, GPCB, SUDA, SMC
and members of Industrial associations.
15.7 WATER
15.7.1 SOURCE OF WATER

River Tapi is the perennial river flowing through Surat City. Tapi river is one of the major rivers in
India. The total length of the Tapi river is approximately around 724 km. It flows in the central part of
India. The river originates from the Betul district of Madhya Pradesh in the Satpura range at an
elevation of 752 m above the sea level. The states through which the Tapi river flows include
Maharashtra, Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh. Apart from the Narmada river, Tapi is the only river
which flows in the westward direction and merges into the Arabian Sea. The Tapi basin extends to
the total area of 65, 145 sq.km., which is approximately 2% of the total geographical area of India.
15.7.2 SOURCE AND WATER SUPPLY MANAGEMENT

River Tapi is the only source of Drinking Water for the citizens of Surat City. The entire water supply
scheme executed till now and schemes which are being executed for the future generation is

keeping in mind the availability of quality water in river Tapti with adequate quantity. Presently,
Urban Local Body (ULB)- SMC manages more than 950 MLD of to cater the water demand of Surat
City. SMC has got riparian right of extracting water of 300 Cusec on daily basis from river Tapti. In
order to manage water supply system based on river Tapti, SMC has constructed weir cum causeway
near Rander. As a result, sweet water can be stored in the upstream of weir. Downstream of weir
receives saline water from Arabian sea during high tide and in normal course too. Hence, because of
weir cum causeway, intrusion till now and help managing water supply scheme for Surat City.

Source: Basin-wise Complied Data – 2011, Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB), MoEF
Above data reveals that the quality of water gets deteriorated as it moves from upstream to
downstream. ONGC bridge is the location where river receives saline water from Arabian sea. Also,
in comparison to the classification of rivers of CPCB, river Tapi falls under ‘C’ class or below ‘C’ class
river. Also, since quality of river Tapti is subject to the season variation, during monsoon season,
when usually it received fresh water from upstream, it falls under ‘B’ class because of freshness of
water and dilution of water.
15.8 NOISE
Noise pollution is displeasing human or machine created sound that disturbs the activity or balance
of human and animal life. The unwanted sound is called noise. Loudness is measured in decibels

(dB). 20 db is whisper, 40 db the noise in a quiet office. 60 db is normal conversation, 80 db is the
level at which sound becomes physically painful. Steady exposure to sounds higher than 80 dB can
have negative long term effects on hearing. Redefining levels of noise pollution has become a crucial
issue within densely populated urban areas.

Delhi is on the borderline with an average sound intensity of 80 dB. However, other metro cities
have crossed this danger mark. Kolkata it is 87 dB, Mumbai 85 dB and Chennai 89 dB. Similarly in
Surat city commercial areas reach up to 64-69 dB, and residential areas reach up to 57-61dB, which
is higher than the limit suggested by GPCB. Vehicular noise is considered as the major contributor to
noise pollution. That apart, uncontrolled use of loud speakers at social events also adds to the noise
pollution. Broadly speaking, the noise pollution has two sources, i.e. industrial and non- industrial.
Non- industrial source of noise includes the following categories: roads traffic, aircraft, railroads,
construction, industry, noise in buildings, and consumer products. No honking zone has been
identified for places like hospitals, educational institutions, religious places, etc.
15.9 VISUAL POLLUTION

In modern times, especially in cities, the hazards of visual pollution are many. Though there is no
accurate definition currently available, for our convenience we can define visual pollution as follows:
Visual pollution is any unwanted sight that mentally or physically affects the community or creates
any health hazard.
Visual pollution generally refers to those elements of the landscape that the community finds
unattractive, including badly maintained buildings, advertisements (hoardings), business signs,
telephone and utility poles, weeds, garbage dumps and litter. Solid waste management is one of the
core infrastructure facilities for the city. To make the city healthy and livable, sound solid waste
management system is required.

Efforts to improve solid waste management in the city of Surat were made by the health
department after the havoc of the plague in 1994. It is the only city of its kind in Gujarat where
private contracting and private participation in solid waste management was introduced first. The
city is divided into 7 administrative zones for efficient management and the waste generated is
collected throughout the city by door to door collection system and disposed at the Khajod disposal
site (200 ha).
Apart from Domestic waste, industrial waste generated is also a big challenge for Surat area as of
date there are no industrial waste treatment and disposal site present in Surat area resulting
utilization of Mindhola River by industries to discharge toxic waste in absence of proper disposal
facility present in Surat Area. More than 1000 industrial units generating 1,13,058.5 MTA industrial
wastes has been identified as per GPCB survey report, 2007.
15.10 SOLID WASTE COLLECTION AND DISPOSAL

SMC have good door to door solid waste collection system for entire city area and have dumping site
at Khajod. SMC also cover few villages of SUDA area adjacent to SMC boundary. In other villages of
SUDA area, it has been found during primary survey that door to door collection provided by
Grampanchayat or through village’s private association. Collected solid wastes are used to dump on
either Gouchar land or waste used to burn on open field. In most of the villages, Grampanchayat
give door to door collection to houses inside village gamtal as well as construction outside the
Gamtal, where in few villages societies out of Gamatal used to collect solid waste by their own at the
end of the street together and waste used to burn in open air. Taluka wise present scenario of solid
waste collection and disposal has given bellow for SUDA area using primary survey data provided by
Sarpanch or Talati of each village.

15.11 URBAN HEAT ISLAND EFFECT AND ENVIRONMENTAL WARMING

An urban heat island (UHI) is a metropolitan area which is significantly warmer than its surrounding
rural areas. As urban areas develop, changes occur in their landscape. Buildings, roads, and other
infrastructure replace open land and vegetation. These changes cause urban regions to become
warmer than their rural surroundings, forming an "island" of higher temperatures in the landscape.

The main cause of the urban heat island is modification of the land surface by urban development
which uses materials which effectively retain heat. Waste heat generated by energy usage is a
secondary contributor. As population centres grow they tend to modify a greater and greater area of
land and have a corresponding increase in average temperature. UHIs have the potential to directly
influence the health and welfare of urban residents. Elevated temperature from urban heat islands,
particularly during the summer, can affect a community's environment and quality of life; some of
the important issues are identified as follows:
 Increased energy consumption for high cooling demand.

 Elevated emissions of air pollutants and greenhouse gases
 Compromised human health and comfort
 Rapid temperature changes can be stressful to aquatic ecosystems
Glass facades and Aluminium composite panels Global warming is when the earth heats up (the
temperature rises). It happens when greenhouse gases(carbon dioxide, water vapour, nitrous oxide,
and methane)trap heat and light from the sun in the earth’s atmosphere, which increases the
temperature. This hurts people, animals, and plants.
Many cannot take the change, so they die. Some of the causes of global warming are listed below:
 Extensive use of electricity

 Extensive use of fuel for various purposes
 Burning of garbage on vast scale
 Cutting down the trees
 Increase in vehicles
15.12 FLOOD AND NATURAL HAZARD

Flood and Earthquake are the major Natural hazard found in Surat City.
In 2006, this was first time in the last 200 years that the city of Surat has seen floods of such a large
magnitude. Due to incessant rains in Maharashtra, the flood gates of the Ukai Lake were opened
releasing the excess waters into Gujarat. A major portion of Surat urban area under the municipal
corporation got flooded on both sides of the river banks. It created a big havoc and unprecedented
loss of property adding to the misery of the vulnerable population.
It is frequent in Surat to experience floods affecting various areas of the city. Beside the frequent
floods in the Tapi river basin, the city has network of creeks, which is a subsystem of larger
hydrological system. The Mithi khadi floods have been frequents in the last decade. Along the creek
there are number of settlements of industrial and migratory workers and thus, the impacts of the
swelling of the creeks are also crucial. SMC have made attempts of diverting the inflow of the creeks
in the river in the recent years.
This region has high rainfall and less number of rainy days. This has caused sudden accumulation of
water in Ukai dam which were released in the downstream of the river flowing through the city. The
river when passes through the city has limited basin width and depth. The existing slope has reduced

flow of water. During high tide the back water from sea reduces further flow of water. It is estimated
that there is certain rise in sea level. It becomes beyond the carrying capacity of the existing river
basin which results in frequent flooding after release of water from Ukai dam located at the
upstream. The following map shows the vulnerable areas under frequent flooding.
15.13 OBSERVATIONS AND ISSUES
15.13.1 AIR QUALITY

15.13.1.1 Observation
There is an improvement in air quality of the city.
15.13.1.2 Issue
Air pollution in the city and SUDA area is due to several internal and external factors of which the
most important are:
All the air quality monitoring stations in the city and surrounding area have recorded dangerously
high SPM levels during the past so many years. The high volume of dust suspension in the city is
mainly due to the climatic conditions as well as the un-surfaced margins on almost all the roads in
the city.
Rapid growth of vehicular population during the past decade is also a concern. Most of these
vehicles are mostly not compliant with the BHARAT-II norms and release dangerous exhausts. The
climatic conditions of the city generally cause these exhausts to remain suspended in the air.
Inadequate traffic management measures have reduced the average speed of vehicles on the roads
thereby increasing the travel time and hence the vehicular pollution. Chaotic movements at
junctions have increased the dimension of the problem.
15.13.1.3 Strategy
 Preparation of Inventory of Air Quality
The inventory shall include a database on air quality indicators, identification of potential air
pollution sources in the city and surrounding area, emission concentrations and identification of
non-scheduled industrial and commercial locations with pollution potential. This programme shall
involve the services of GPCB and the Traffic Police. The study shall form the basis for regular
maintenance of data and can help to initiate education and awareness programmes on pollution
mitigation and control measures. SMC has given grant of Rs. 60 lakhs to TIFAC Core towards
procurement of Mobile Air Quality monitoring Van.
 Integrated Transportation Planning
Since a high concentration of pollutants is observed at junctions and in the form of SPM along roads,
it is imperative to integrate air pollution mitigation measures with those of traffic improvement.
Encourage the public to maximize utilization of mass transport system such as BRTS.

15.13.2 WATER QUALITY
15.13.2.1 Issue
Several reasons can be attributed to the pollution of the water bodies in the city and SUDA Area. The
most important of them are:
The lack of comprehensive sewerage system in surrounding area of Surat city has led to large
quantities of untreated wastewater being drained into the River Tapi and River Mindhola. This has
led to degradation of ground water too.
The letting out of wastewaters by several small-scale industries in the east and south zones, either
into the nearby drains or dub-bores has polluted the surface as well as ground waters.
There are no monitoring stations to estimate and assess the quantity and quality of wastewaters
being generated in the city. The obvious results of all the above-mentioned reasons are health risks
to the citizens of the city.
15.13.2.2 Strategies
Since there is no effective monitoring of the pollution levels of the city, the strategies shall address
the same and help in maintaining an effective database of the environmental conditions of the city.
 Establishment of Decentralised Waste Water Treatment Facilities
Particularly, Outside Surat City Area where there is no drainage network exits; it shall be advisable
that DEWATs units shall install and reuse such water for irrigation or gardening purpose.
 Action Plan For Cleaning and De-silting of Important Water Bodies
The action plan shall be formulated after consultations with the stakeholders, wherein all the water
bodies in the city and surrounding region shall be studied to check the pollution levels and measures
towards the maintenance and revitalisation shall be suggested. The plan shall also explore various
options of maintenance; like developing recreational activities etc. based on the plan. All the water
bodies that require attention with respect to pollution shall be cleaned and de-silted. The River Tapi
shall also be part of the study. The study shall be taken up by consultants or experts.
After completion of the Mindhola River Rehabilitation project under NRCP; the quality of river
Mindhola will significantly improve.
 Effective Monitoring of Water Bodies and Quality Control
The corporation shall initiate a dialogue between various agencies including GPCB, to collect and
maintain data on important parameters of water bodies like BOD, COD, species present, extent of
silt, sewerage outfalls, industrial discharges etc. on a regular basis. This forms an important aspect of
monitoring the quality of water bodies.
SMC has prepared Master Planning to meet the future demand and envisaged the demand of more
than 2300 MLD in 2041 Accordingly various water supply schemes are being executed. Followings
are the challenges before SMC for meeting future water demand for Surat City.

1. Quantity Issues
 For meeting future demand, present riparian right of 300 cusec seems inadequate.
 Irrigation department which controls Ukai Dam which controls and regulate the flow of
water in river Tapti based on the demand of irrigation. Demand for the drinking water
for the Surat City assumes last priority.
2. Quality Issues
 Rapid urbanization along the bank of River Tapi and ever increasing domestic pollution
is alarming now.
 All point and non-point sources falling under the jurisdictions of various stake holders
and responsible for domestic river pollution needs to be plugged / diverted.
 Area beyond the jurisdiction of SMC has imposed great challenge. Such area falls under
DDO or SUDA jurisdiction, hence, in lieu of proper river pollution abatement solutions
for such area, domestic pollution will continue to deteriorate river water and ultimately
drinking water quality remains in question.
 Imposition of new drinking water standard IS 10500 – 2012 and strict adherence to the
various parameters will be difficult in present situation and ever increasing pollution.
 Moreover, Surat City has been declared as vulnerable city to the effect of Climate
Change. Hence, extreme events like floods or droughts cannot be ignored. In case of
drought like condition / the year in which monsoon fails, situation of water quality in
river Tapti will be very bad because of non-availability of fresh water.
Therefore, in the larger interest of health of citizens Surat City and in order to meet the challenges of
future water demand, above issues remains to be addressed jointly with other stake holders of river
Tapi.
15.13.3 NOISE POLLUTION

The levels of noise have been constantly increasing due to the increase in the vehicles on the city
roads.
15.13.3.2 Issue
Incompatible land uses, for example party plots located in residential areas cause noise pollution.
15.13.4 VISUAL POLLUTION

Presently at several locations in the city, the architectural character is being marred by large
commercial hoardings, screens on the junctions and other visual pollution.

15.13.5 CONSERVATION ECO-SENSITIVE AREA
Human interference at Eco-sensitive site may create decrease in number of species and individual
used to found within the area. Greenery/ plantation should increase. As mentioned, many migratory
birds arrive at Surat in different season; at the same place local species are also found in good
number. These sites should conserve, development should restricted in surround few area from the
sites.
15.13.5.2 Issues
Species of flora and fauna are disappearing from city areas. Green cover area is very less in the city.
Instead of Medicinal or edible plants, other low cost inedible plants to fauna are grown along the
road. The vegetated clusters, at certain interval of area are not available which can absorb pollution
and heat.
15.13.6 SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT

Door-to-door Solid Waste collection is not available in some villages of SUDA Area. Villages which
have door to door collection and villages which don’t have door to door collection both don’t have
network and dumping site in SUDA area. Solid waste used to dump in open Gochar land or burnt at
the end of individual society.
15.13.6.2 Issue
Due to solid waste used to burn in open air, air pollution increase. Due to dumping of solid waste on
open land, it affects soil and ground water through leaching. It also spread bad odour in nearby area
as well as it can cause disease.
Treatment facilities establish for solid waste treatment has been fails due to commercial and
technical reasons, resulting in to increasing burden on landfilling.
15.13.6.3 Strategy
Centralized Eco waste recycling Park should be developed for all kind of waste i.e. plastic, E- waste,
Organic waste, and Industrial waste generated around Surat Area. Such kind of Eco Park should be
supported by central and state government so that comprehensive waste management around Surat
area is possible and reduce the burden on landfilling and save natural resources and minimize
greenhouses gases impact. Learning from past experience, it is strongly recommended that
industrial waste management facility should be established on non- profit sharing basis in
partnership with local authority and industrial associations.

16 STAKEHOLDERS CONSULTATION
16.1 INTRODUCTION
The public participation process and stakeholder consultation for DP 2035 SUDA has been
conducted. The level of participation and involvement of different stake holders has been detailed in
this chapter. Different discussions and various meeting were held to understand the view and
opinion of stakeholders for revision of development plan.
The stakeholders’ participation included experts’ consultation, in which the stakeholders were
involved through focus group discussions to review and assess the existing situation and needs for
the future. These experts were invited to join various sub committees formed by SUDA. The
consultation was more participatory and collaborative. As series of working group meetings were
held and stakeholders were involved in making more specific suggestions for improving the existing
conditions.
16.2 STAKEHOLDERS CONSULTATION PROCESS

The aim of conducting consultations is to articulate stakeholder expectations so as to be able to
formulate a vision for the revised development plan, prioritize city development issues, strategy /
action consensus and choice of strategy options. The methodology for consultation included
following sequential tasks:
1. Identification of stakeholders
2. Conducting consultations
3. Documentation of consultations

16.4 STAKEHOLDERS SUGGESTIONS
16.4.1 SC4 : HOUSING AND SOCIO ECONOMIC STUDIES

 Katargam + Varachha and Udhna + Limbayat zones can be considered for proposing
Affordable Housing
 Residential Housing for workers should be made compulsory for industrial development
in GDCR
 The provision of affordable housing at present is based more on land availability. It
should be well distributed in areas as per necessity rather than availability
 Need for Housing projects with public‐private partnerships or Regulatory Policy. SMC can
introduce various Housing Schemes with Private partnership so as to provide innovative
options for all masses. This may include implementation of Policy measures such as to
make mandatory for builders to provide 10 % of EWS houses in all housing schemes
introduced into the city
 Encourage New Township development
16.4.2 SC5: TRAFFIC AND TRANSPORT

 Public Transport should be the main vision for development plan and land use should be
proposed in accordance and integration along the public transport
 The following hierarchy was suggested
 LRT/MRT along ORR
 BRTS along radials
 City Bus as feeders on through roads
 Auto as feeders on through roads
 Metro should be proposed on the 66 km long Outer Ring Road but it should suffice to
future expansion of authority area hence a radial should also be proposed along the NE-
SW radial. Canal Road can be the radial along which metro can be proposed
 A multimodal transport hub to be proposed on outer ring road and Kadodara road
intersection which will serve as a central place of connectivity where multiple forms of
transit
 To develop a logistics park between expressway and national highway on the Palsana
road
 Roads to be developed along all existing canals

16.4.3 SC 6: INFRASTRUCTURE & OUTER RING ROAD IMPLICATION
1. Water Supply
 There is an underprovision of water supply network in the part of the developing areas of
Kamrej, Palsana, Vav , Navagam , Kholvad , Sachin, Talangpore, Vanz, Ichhapore, Bhatha
etc. These areas to be divided into clusters and provision of infrastructure on priority
basis for these area
 Due to high rainfall water should be compulsorily recharged
 7% of the municipal corporation is yet to be provided with network for water supply. By
2015, 100% coverage in SMC area shall be done. Out of 95 only 25 villages are provided
with GWSSB water remaining 70 villages do not have conventional water supply network.
To increase network and supply to save ground water depletion
2. Storm Water Drain
Natural waterways need to be preserved. With development of area, ground percolation of water
reduces thereby increases surface water flow. Therefore at one side water in the creeks increases
and carrying capacity reduces in existing creeks/nallas. Hence natural slope should be maintained
during planning process.
3. Sewerage
 Comprehensive waste water system unavailable in Industrial areas. Waste water treatment
plant for industrial and hazardous waste should be provided in the industrial zone.
 Additional Sewerage pumping stations are proposed in North, South, South-East and East
Drainage Zone which shall suffice to 2035 demand.
 After successful implementation of the Green Energy generation projects SMC now is proposing
a bio gas based power plant along with construction of sewage treatment plant itself. So
generation of electricity can start as construction work completed and receiving of raw sewage
starts at treatment plan
4. Solid Waste Management
 Identify sites for solid waste disposal. No direct disposal to be allowed waste to be
treated before disposal
 Separate Landfill site is required for disposal of dead animals. Three separate well
developed land parcels need to be developed.
 Solid waste has increased and hence there is a need to plan for more compost plant,
and area can be reserved for the same.
5. Social Infrastructure
 Fire Service reservations to be provided at TP Scheme level. Consider requirements for
70 meter height of building
 There are few streets where plantation has been carried out within the city but they do
not form a green network. A green network is should be proposed
 Lake front development along with garden can be taken up to develop more spaces like
the botanical garden which can used at city level for recreational purpose

16.4.4 SC 7 : TAPI RIVER FRONT , CRZ AND ENVIRONMENT
 Parallel road along with the Tapi River throughout the river both the side also
perpendicular roads to maintain natural drain
 River Front Development
 Good Transportation Network
 Green Waste and Dry Waste bifurcation system for waste collection & promote reuse of
Green waste
 Promote Zero energy and green buildings
 Eco-industrial Park Concepts
 Conservation of Eco- sensitive areas
 Conservation of Agricultural Lands
 Promote tree plantation along the road and nearby new constructions
 Promote Rain Water Harvesting within the construction and conservation of open land
and Gardens
 Green barrier or green belt should provided around the industrial zone
16.4.5 SC 8 : INDUSTRY TRADE AND COMMERCE

1. Obnoxious and Hazardous Industrial Zone
 Present obnoxious and hazardous industrial zone, mainly in Udhna and on Udhna
Magdalla Road, now has been converted into commercial and/or residential zone.
However, due to zoning, the industrial units, mainly consisting of SMSs are treated
accordingly, which has deprived them taking benefit of various State Government and
Central Government schemes. Such zones may be converted to either commercial or
residential zone. Residential areas should be kept be away from such hazardous zone.
2. General Industrial and Hazardous Industrial Zone
 Budhiya, Gabheni, Talangpore near Sachin should be zoned as textile processing and /or
chemical zone. Total land area of around 20-25 lakhs sq.m. be reserved for around 175
units for such zone for new industrial units or existing units which might need to shift.
 Ichhchaapore, Kawas, Olpad, and Pinjrat and their surrounding area may be earmarked
as General Industrial Zone.
3. Residential Zone
 Residential Zone for people at large and industrial workers be earmarked towards South
SUDA while industries may be located towards northern parts of SUDA.
4. Diamond Industry
 Diamond Industry may be shifted to near Mota Varachha (in northern parts) may be
relocated and bourse may be established in the same area.

5. F.S.I.
 For all the industrial zone, present F.S.I. of 1 may be increased to keep pace with the
future growth of industry and scarcity of land, keeping structural design constraints in
mind, There may be common FSI for residential, commercial and industrial zones.
6. Industrial Parks
 Where the zone is earmarked for Industrial Zone, for worker residents 15% to 20% and
for commercial purpose 15% to 20% land may be allocated.
7. Sea Port and Logistics
 Land area of around 50 lakhs sq.m. be reserved for this purpose, along with a 20%
provision for residences in the same area.
 In and around Hazira or on Sachin Magdalla Road, logistic park may be provided to
reduce burden on roads and other infrastructure of Surat.
8. Common Facilities
 Hazardous waste disposal site needs to be identified in or around SUDA.
9. Commercial Zone
 Khatodara- Sachin main road should be converted to carry out mainly commercial
activities, which, if needed, be extended to periphery. Revision of FSI is needed on this
area. In Navagam – Varachha area as there exists no light industries, this area must be
marked as residential and/or commercial area.
10. IT/ITES Industries
 Many IT companies, looking for an opportunity in II tier cities, will come to SUDA area if
appropriate infrastructure and locational advantage is provided to them. 3.0 lac sq mt.
may be reserved for 15-20 units near Vesu or Outer Ring Road.
11. Agro Industries
 Reservation for APMC for its cold storage, processing and other requirements should be
kept near Abhva on outer ring road to support highly perishable items under dealing
and need airport connectivity.
 Government land for food processing zone may be identified with an area of around
100-125 Hactres of area. APMC as well as private investors may initiate the such
establishments in the vicinity of proposed cargo airport.
12. DMIC and DFC
 Industrial and commercial zoning must be done keeping in mind proposed DMIC and
DFC planning. Logistics Park can be developed in the periphery of stations under this
corridor. Area near Bhestan and Gothan must be earmarked for logistics and other
ancillary purpose.
13. Miscellaneous
 Any industrial unit constructing Green Building, based on standard practice, be given
additional FSI.

17 SPATIAL EXTENSION OF SUDA
To ensure the systematic and planned development of the Surat city and its surrounding areas, Surat
Urban Development Authority(SUDA) was constituted on 30/01/1978 by Gujarat State Government
under the provisions of the Gujarat Town Planning and Urban Development Act, 1976. Total area
SUDA authority was 715 sq.km., including Surat Municipal Corporation and 148 surrounding villages.
Between 1978 and 2015, the jurisdiction of SUDA was unchanged but the area of SUDA was
increased to 1351 sq.km. by Gujarat State Government as per the notification No.GH/V/330 of
2015/UDA-102012-5026(3)-L dated 09/12/2015 and its corrigendum dated 18/12/2015. 100 more
villages from 5 different talukas Olpad(40), Kamrej(37), Palsana(14), Choryasi(8) and Mangrol(1)
have been made part of SUDA.
Kathor Grampanchayat was designated as area development authority under notification No.GHB-
20-UDA-1177-646(2)-Q dated 30/01/1978. Also, an urban development authority was constituted
for Hazira and surrounding areas under notification No.GHV/121/UDA-1181-5100-V dated
12/10/1985 which was later dissolved under notification No.GHV/106/1097/M/86/K dated
28/08/1997.
Under the notification No.GH/V/330 of 2015/UDA-102012-5026(3)-L dated 09/12/2015, both these

areas were made part of SUDA and all the functions within these areas were transferred to SUDA.
Development plans for these areas were prepared by respective authorities and are in force.
However, after the inclusion of these areas within SUDA’s jurisdiction, they will be considered as a
part of SUDA’s Development Plan for 2035.
7 (Hazira (C), Mora (C), Kamrej (K), Kathor (K), Olpad (O), Sayan (O) and Palsana (P)) of these 100
villages have population more than 10,000. Population wise summarisation is given below. There are
10 villages with population less than 500 and 6 of these are in Olpad taluka.

Out of newly added 100 villages in SUDA jurisdiction, only 11 villages receive supply from Tapi river.
The rest of the villages depend on ground water. These villages draw water from ground through
bores and supply it to households by pipelines or use of hand pumps. There are few villages which
depend on both surface and ground water sources. 25 of these villages are supplied water by GWSSB
and most of the other villages are catered by respective Gram Panchayats.

18 POPULATION PROJECTION
In the process of urbanization, the trend of population growth is an important indicator for the
assessment of development needs. In order to assess development needs, it is essential to forecast
population of the area for the plan period. The population structure will enable to make projection
for housing, employment, commercial, recreational and all types of socio-economic needs and
therefore an assessment of the quantum of land required to accommodate this population is
essential.
18.1 POPULATION GROWTH AND TRENDS

SUDA in its first development plan of 1986 estimated 16 lakhs population in SUDA area for 1991.
According to census figure for 1991, total population within SUDA area was 17.8 lakhs. In the
development plan the projection for 2001 was 27 lakhs and for 2011 was 42 lakhs. In comparison to
these projections, the actual population as per census 2001 was 31.5 lakhs which increased to 48.05
lakhs by 2011. Thus Surat has experienced rapid growth of population than what it was envisaged in
the development plan.
Table 128: Population Growth of Total SUDA area, 1961- 2011
Year As Projected in DP 2005 As per Census

(population in lakhs) (population in lakhs)
1961 - 3.55
1971 - 5.58
1981 - 11.20
1991 - 17.80
2001 27.50 31.05
2011 42.00 48.05 (old SUDA area)
2011 - 50.85 (new SUDA area)
As per Census 2011, SUDA area has witnessed an increase in population from 31.05 lakhss to 48.05
lakhss for the old SUDA area comprising of SMC and 95 villages. After the extension of SUDA area by
the State Government notification of 09.12.2015 and 18.12.2015, the ppulation of total SUDA area
as per 2011 Census is 50.85 lakhss. The breakup of total pulation of SUDA area as per 2011 Census
for SMC and surrounding 195 villages is shown in the table below:
Table 129: Break-up of total population of SUDA , 2011
Total Population of SUDA- 2011
Population within SMC 44,67,797
Population outside SMC (including 195 villages) 6,17,759

About 88% of the total population resides in SMC area. The decadal population growth of SMC area
is shown in the table below. The decadal growth rate during the last three decades is more than
62%, 76% and 55% respectively, which highest for any city in India.
Table 130: Decadal growth rate of population within SMC area

2001 28,68,603 76.62%
2011 44,67,797 55.75%
The population in the region outside SMC within SUDA boundary is hardly 12% out of the
population. The decadal growth rate of the entire SUDA area is shown in the table below.

2011 48,05,101 54.74%
2011 50,85,556 -
(newly extended area)
The growth rate increased also accounts to the higher migration due to trade and economy.
SMC population is increased at a very higher growth rate comparison with rest of SUDA. It indicates
that SMC serves as a growth magnet which attracts the people for living.
The basic objective of the Development Plan is to achieve the balanced and sustainable growth of
urban and rural centres within the development area. Planners are invariably most concerned with
population projections which form the framework for setting targets expected to be achieved within
a specified time- frame, be it for land use, services or facilities. The population has been worked out
ased on different methods of projection, factual information and justified assumption. A committe
was formed to assess the population projection of the SUDA area for te target year of 2035. The
committe submitted the report as below:
18.2 POPULATION PROJECTION

The concepts of population estimates and population projections often are confused even though
the distinction between the two is relatively simple and straightforward. Both concepts involve the
generation of a number that is intended to indicate the size of the population of a given geographic
area at a specific point in time. Both techniques make use of the basic demographic equation:

P2 = P1 + B - D + I - O
It indicates that the population at any given point in time (P2) is a function of the population at a
previous point in time (P1) plus the amount of natural increase (births minus deaths) and the net
migration (in-migration minus out-migration) during the interim. As per Census of India-GoI,
basically there are two types of population projection methods:
1. Component and Non-component methods

2. Mathematical methods
Both methods have different characteristics so that they are used at large scale and small scale
respectively. For projecting the population of Surat, different type of methods have been used, they
are:
1. Arithmetical increase method (AIM)

2. Incremental increase method (IIM)
3. Geometrical increase method (GIM)
4. Geometric general method (GGM)
5. Ratio and correlation method (RCM)
All the above methods are applied to village-wise population for past five decades. Population totals
are derived as per the administrative boundaries of SMC and SUDA as per existing status (year
2011) of administrative inclusion.
18.2.1 ARITHMETICAL INCREASE METHOD
Rate of population increase is constant and expression is
Where Ka is an arithmetic constant. The formula is, P_future = P_last + (K_a) (t_future - t_last) and,
Where x = number of past records time intervals. This methods is more or less a straight line
projection method where the projected values follow a uniform rate of growth, as obtained from
past trends without consideration of any other effects.
18.2.2 INCREMENTAL INCREASE METHOD

In incremental increase method not only average increase but difference of increment is also add. So
that method is focus on variation of increment.
Pn = P+ n.X + {n (n+1)/2}.Y

Where,
n = difference of future and present decade Pn = future population
P = Current population
X = average population increment Y = average of increment
18.2.3 GEOMETRICAL INCREASE METHOD
In this method the percentage increase in population from decade to decade is assumed to remain
constant. The formula used is as,
Where, IG is the Geometric growth rate, n is the number of decade with P as present population. GIM
method gives higher population projection results and for prevailing condition in Surat this type of
growth is not suitable.
18.2.4 GEOMETRIC GENERAL METHOD
Given the case of Geometric General method here,
dP/dt = KgP
Where, P = Present population, t = time, Kg is the arithmetic growth constant which altogether are
used to find projections through Integrated population formula:
dP/dt = KgP, cross multiply dP/P= Kgdt, integrate
lnP2-lnP1
for Ka and, Kg = t2-t1 , substituting
LnP2 = lnP1 + Kg (t2 - t1)
At any P and corresponding t
LnP = lnP + Kg (t - t1)
P= + ( − )
Using this method, it was observed that growth rate of projection are worked out as more than 70,
95 and 100 % for future three decades respectively considered under projection.

18.2.5 RATIO & CORRELATION METHOD
In this method, average Growth Rate was obtained for 6 decades for all 125 villages & Surat City
within SUDA. The future growth of population was kept limited to 300 ppha density (considering
future planned development through T. P. Schemes). This is an ideal limit for healthy atmosphere
and infrastructure facilities provided and maintained properly. However, Puna, Godadara and Amroli
units seems to be already congested in 2011, in these areas the population density is already more
than 300 ppha hence, 2011 population was kept constant for these 3 areas while projecting future
population leaving no scope for further development. The procedure followed in the method was as
below:
 Calculate six decade growth rate for all villages and generate its average growth rate
for individual. 
 Classify (Categorization) all villages as per growth rate. A-1, A-2, A-3, A-4, B, C, D, E, F
in different 9 categories. 
 All villages arrange as per growth rate category and then take average as per
particular group and that average growth rate use for population projection to every
category individual.
Population projection in ratio & correlation method is under control and direct dependency of
density. This method is more reliable because it takes care by giving attention to city physical
characteristic and its capacity to accommodate population. The Table 132 below shows the
summary of village classified under each growth rate group.
Figure 61: Peri- Urban
In population projection, First decade 2011-21 growth rate is kept almost the same and then for
2021-31 and 2031-41 growth rate is reduced somewhat as many areas of the city achieved base line
300 ppha density and these areas are restricted for the population increase. Citizens will be shifting
to other areas of the city and so pulling factor will be in effect towards maintaining the natural
density limit.

In average population for the horizon year is approximate 3.5 times from today. It is due to the
effect of GIM method that give boosted results. In mathematical model, the effect of physical and
other demographic characteristics are not visible and its effect not count as required. Following is
the average of projected population for Surat using four different methods. It is worked out that a
population of 103.74 Lacs in the year 2035 will be used for framing of capital investment plan under
the city development plan with 2035 as horizon year. Following graph shows output from various
four methods along with average value of the results.

Figure 62: Population projection for DP 2035
If the current growth rate tend to continue, the total population of the SUDA area is expected to go
up to 66.33 Lacs by 2021 and 90.23 Lacs by the year 2031. The growth will require additional
infrastructure, services and facilities to cater the needs of future population and to facilitate high
quality of life within the city.
After this report was submitted by the committe, the State Government extended the limit of SUDA
by adding new 100 villages, having population of about 2.88 lakhss as per 2011 Census. The
coommitte projected the population of about 104 lakhs by 2035. Considering the existing landuse
of the newly added 100 villages and upcoming projects of national importance in the SUDA area, it
will not be out f place to have an estimate of 110 lakhs population by the year 2035 in the whole
SUDA area comprising of 1351 sq.km. Accordingly, SUDA adopted the estimated population of 110
lakhs by the year 2035 and accordingly the proposals have been framed. Considering the growth
rate from 2011 to 2035 as recommended by the Committee and if the target population is 110 lakhs
then the projected population for 2021 shall be 73 lakhss which will rise to 98 lakhs by 2031.

19 PROPSED LAND- USE (SUBMITTED UNDER SECTION 9)
19.1 INTRODUCTION
The Development Plan, 2035 is prepared considering the demand of projected population of next
two decades for the entire area of 1351 sq.km. of Surat Urban Development Authority (SUDA). This
total area consists of Surat Municipal Corporation (SMC) Area and 195 villages under SUDA. Surat
ranks 4th fastest growing city in a global study of fastest developing cities conducted by The City
Mayors Foundation, an international think tank on urban affairs. In fact, it is the fastest growing
Indian city in terms of economic prosperity. However, as it continues to grow and expand at such
high rate, the residents of the city are facing the issues such as traffic congestion , high cost of
housing and real estate, parking issues, lack of public transport, increased demand for amenities,
gardens, open spaces and much more. For Surat to grow as a sustainable city with inclusive
development, an important industrial hub and commercial centre of the country; it must organize its
land resources carefully. Following are some of the major considerations taken into account for
deriving and formulating proposals of the Development Plan 2035.
19.2 PLAN OBJECTIVE

The first step in preparation of development plan is the identification of the land use characteristic
and existing city structure situation. Detailed survey of existing situation has been made withal
length in part one of the report. While formulating the proposals of development plan, the following
broad principles have been kept in view.
 To have optimum utilization of urban land and to minimize the spread of

urbanization in rich agricultural irrigated area
 To develop multi modular transportation considering high growth of city and
upcoming national projects such as DFC, EW, Metro, Bullet train, DREAM City, etc.
and creating transportation corridor by way of ring roads, DP Road and radial
conduit roads
 To decongest the city by locating new development areas to ease the pressure on
city Providing balanced development with environmental protection and adequate
green spaces
 Diversification of economic activities
Thus, the main objectives of the development plan would be to achieve efficient functioning by
restructuring the city, by means of conservation, new development and to serve as a policy
framework with long term perspective to guide future developments. One of the important
considerations while formulating the revised development plan proposals has been the need to
protect the best of existing character of Surat to develop its structure and suggest appropriate
measures to overcome remedies obstructing the healthy growth of city.
19.2.1 PLAN AREA

The present area of Surat Urban Development Authority is admeasured 1351 sq.km. This includes
the 326 sq.km. area covered by Surat Municipal corporation and 195 village settlements.

19.3 METHODOLOGY ADOPTED
The methodology adopted for the formulation of development plan was to prepare a base map
using GIS Techniques and develop GIS database. The data from various surveys and studies available
with the SMC and other agencies was collected. Since comprehensive data for the entire plan area
was not available, the information regarding existing land use, infrastructure facilities, housing,
environment were collected from all 195 villages of SUDA area. For the preparation of the
Development Plan, a number of study groups were formed for arriving at the proposals of the
Development Plan. All this data was used to work out integrated proposal in the light of the present
state of development, with the assessment of the existing conditions and accounting for the
potential resources and constraints for future development and trends on the basis of known
parameters.
19.4 PLAN PERIOD

The SUDA had proposed the first development plan in 1980, which was sanctioned by the
Government on 31st January, 1986 and came into force from 3rd March, 1986. The first plan was
prepared for the plan period up to 2001. The process of urbanization is a continuous phenomenon.
Hence the development plan is revised every 10 years. The first revision of development plan was
submitted in 1987 which came into force from 15th September, 2014. The plans visions were based
on the existing situation prevailing at that time. However the process of planning depends upon a
number of variables such as population growth, economic activities, development of counter
magnets, and the nature of development. To deal with these factors, it requires to review the
development process at moderate time intervals. SUDA has thus taken up the study of the preparing
the second development plan to stream line the development to achieve the long term
requirements. For preparation of development plan, plan period up to 2035 has been considered.
This revised development plan also requires to be reviewed at an interval of 10 years with a view to
accommodate and to review the programme of implementation and also to assess requirement and
needs created by new technology and new development.
19.5 EXISTING CONDITIONS AND GOVERNMENT POLICIES

A detailed study and analysis of existing conditions was carried out. This included a land use study
and analysis, studying the existing government policies applicable to the concepts considered.
Analytical study of the zones and areas developed and requirements were carried out. Digital
Elevation Models were prepared to as a part of land suitability analysis for future development to
minimize the effects of floods.
19.6 SUGGESTIONS FROM STAKEHOLDERS

Extensive public consultations and stakeholder meetings were carried out which included experts
from several Government and Semi Government institutes, Gram Panchayats, NGOs, educational,
research and professional institutes such as SVNIT and eminent citizens of Surat. Eight working
groups of experts from various fields were formed focusing on key areas including GDCR, housing
and socio economic studies, Public transportation, Physical & Social infrastructure, Environment and
Industries. The inputs from the consultations were studied and reviewed, detailed analysis of

existing situation was conducted and proposals for the Development Plan were formulated based on
the inferences.
19.7 VISION AND THE PRINCIPLES OF GROWTH MANAGEMENT

The vision, objectives and the principles were identified after multiple discussions and deliberations
played a crucial role in formulating the proposals of this Development Plan. The major principles that
shaped the proposals include optimum utilization of urban land, multi modular public transport,
creation of green network, encouraging sustainable and affordable development. The vision and
principles are further detailed out in the following chapters.
19.8 PLANNING CONCEPT
19.8.1 VISION
In the revised development plan proposals, effort have been made to protect the best existing
character of Surat. The vision envisaged for further development of Surat is as below.
An economically vibrant and sustainable Surat with diverse

opportunities and rich culture; where all citizens enjoy a safe
and liveable environment with good connectivity and
infrastructure of Global standards.
19.8.2 AIM
Surat urban development authority is preparing the second revision of development plan for 2035.
The aim of this development plan is to
Formulate an efficient, sustainable and inclusive development

plan of the SUDA area so as to regulate and guide the planned
and balanced urban growth in the region by 2035, resulting in
better quality of life of people under the provisions of
Gujarat Town Planning & Urban Development Act, 1976 and
The principles below further articulate the detailed vision and focus to guide planning and
Gujarat Town Planning & Urban Development Rules, 1979
development of Surat city.
 To act as growth engine of South Gujarat region

 Efficient, safe, sustainable, affordable and multi-modular public transport
 Promotion of green city and environment friendly development
 Diversification of economic activities with hinterland integration
 To facilitate equitable supply of land and resources

19.8.3 PRINCIPLES
These principles are drafted to create and sustain the best character for Surat without losing the
original cultural balance. A prosperous and secure future for the city is encapsulated in these
principles.
19.8.3.1 Optimum utilization of urban land
The most important natural resource, so as to ensure sustainability and avoid adverse land use
conflicts. There is a need to ensure high quality delivery of services of ecosystems that come from
natural resource base and to cater to the needs of agricultural requirement.
19.8.3.2 Multi modular public transportation
 Enhance mobility options by proposing public transport like metro and integrating it
with the existing BRTS routes
 Organizing feeder services to public transport
 Decongesting roads by promoting the use of public transport
19.8.3.3 Guided and balanced inclusive development
 To have a clear implementation strategy for development that guides development

towards the final vision
 To support all scales of development so that holistic inclusive development for the
benefit of population can take place
19.8.3.4 Facilitating diversification of economy
 To promote economic development beyond diamond, textile and Jari Industries for
diversification into various fields like IT , medical, tourism, etc.
 Support economic activity of various scales at various levels of economic ladder
 Encourage industrial development to increase employment
19.8.3.5 Emphasis on green development
 Connect the gardens and open spaces and roads with a network of “Green Streets”
 Provide adequate gardens, parks and public open spaces
 Promote green development through GDCR
19.8.3.6 Preserving water channels/ water bodies/ natural drains
 To preserve the water bodies and natural drains by discouraging development

around water bodies
 To promote agricultural activities surrounding water bodies

19.8.3.7 Improved safety and security environment
To create an environment where safety and security of the population shall be of utmost
importance
19.8.2.8 Providing adequate space for recreational activities
 There is a lack of recreational activities in Surat. Adequate spaces shall be provided

to promote and develop recreational activities in the area
 To have spaces for public interactions and informal gatherings for recreation
19.8.3.9 Providing balanced development with environmental protection and

adequate green spaces
 Promote development that is based on principles and best practices of sustainability

 Protect and enhance environmental assets to create development that is
environment friendly
19.8.3.10 Shifting of existing industries outside residential area
Shifting of various polluting industries from existing residential zones, negatively affecting the health
standards, environment and overall liveability
19.9 LOCATIONAL CHALLENGES

The City of Surat has its locational challenges in terms of water bodies. City has develped along 37
km of Tapi river which is prone to frequent floods. About 60 km of Khadi (creeks) of various width is
passing through the Surat city. There is a huge network of Canals. Surat being close to the Arabian
sea is prone to Cyclone. In future, even Tsunami can not be totally ruled out. These challenges have
to be given due thought while making land use proposals for 2035.
19.10 OTHER MAJOR CONSIDERATIONS

In regional context, there are other urban development authorities present in South Gujarat. SUDA,
Navasari Urban Development Authority, Bardoli Urban Development Authority and Bharuch Urban
Development Authority cover almost entire region between Navsari and Bharuch excluding only few
villages. In this sense, the entire region could be considered as a big metropolitan area and
therefore, the Development Plan 2035 of SUDA should be prepared considering infrastructural
needs o this metropolitan region.
Based o the Existing land use, upccoming DREAM City project and inclusion of Hazira Industrial Area
in the development area of SUDA, major 9 growth nodes could be easily identified. These 9 nodes
must be considered while framing the land use proposals for the requirement of 110 lakhs
population by 2035. The nine nodes identified are Olpad, Kathor, Kamrej, Kadodara, Palsana, Sahin
,DREAM City, Hazira and Tena.
It is pertinent to note that in the Development Plan of 2004, out of total area of 715 sq.km., about
52% of land, i.e. 373 sq.km. was proposed to be urbanized land for the purpose of development.
The remaining 48% was put under non- urbanized land use. Considering the additional 100 villages in

the SUDA area after December, 2015; the existing land use indicates that out of 1351 sq.km. of the
total SUDA area, only 289 sq.km. is under urbanized land use which is about 21% of the tota SUDA
area. Considering the additional 60 lakhs population to be acomodated in the SUDA area and
important projects like DREAM City, Expressway, DFC, Bullet train, Metro, Premiere institutions in
Surat, it is proposed to increase the percentage of urbanized area within the SUDA boundary.
Approximately, 787 sq.km. out of 1351 sq.km. area has been proposed as urbanized area and the
rest 564 sq.km. (42%) has been proposed under non- urbanized land use for year 2035.
19.11 ZONING
To control the development in the newly extended area of SUDA comprising of villages which are
not part of the Kathor Development Plan and Hazira Development Plan where urbanizable land use
has not been proposed, has been put under Agriculture zone. Since many NA permission might have
been obtained by the land owners in this newly extended area where Agriculture zone is proposed,
the land owner is allowed to develop the land as per the NA permission irrespective of the
Agriculture zone. The layout shall be revised only for the purpose for which the NA order has been
obtained.
The proposed urbanized area of SUDA is broadly classified in the following zones:
 Residential
 Industrial
 Commercial
 Institutional/ Educational
 Recreational
 Logistics
 Surat Industrial Growth Region
The detailed proposal for each zone is described below:
19.11.1 RESIDENTIAL ZONE

In DP 2004, 204 sq.km. of area including residential zone adjacent to 90 m Outer Ring Road(ORR)
was proposed as residential zone. As per the existing land use, about 102 sq.km. residential zone has
been consumed, while remaining 102 sq.km. residential zone as per DP 2004 is still left which can be
used to cater future demand.
According to census 2011 data, total population within SUDA boundary was around 50 lakhs. The
population projected for 2035 is 110 lakhs. This means that there is requirement of planning for
additional 60 lakhs population which is going to reside in SUDA by 2035. As per the UDPFI
Guidelines, the population density for the residential use shall be 250 Per Hectare (PPH). If we want
Gross Residential Density of 250 PPH for additional 60 lakhs population, we require 240 sq.km. of
residential area. It means we have to propose residential zone to the tune of 342 sq.km. of total
area.
While planning for the residential areas, the major factor considered is locating residential zones
outside the 'flood-prone' areas. The special attention is given considering the history of frequent

floods within SUDA, especially SMC boundaries. For this, a Digital Elevation Model (DEM) of entire
SUDA area was prepared. Such model gives details about the area susceptible to inundation under
various flood conditions. Once the DEM was ready, it was overlaid on the existing land-use map of
SUDA and then location for the new residential areas to be proposed were decided accordingly.
The new residential zone to accomodate the additional population has been proposed considering
the DEM. It is proposed to cover the area within SMC boundary for residential zone. After inclusion
of land having potential for residential development within SMC area, the proposal for new
residential zone has been made within the 90 m ORR. The rest f the residential area has been
proposed on the outer side of the 90 m ORR, bounded by 60 m Ring Road. As mentioned earlier,
Olpad and Kamrej growth nodes require control by zoning and therefore, these two nodes have
been provided with residential zoning. Gamtals as proposed in 2004 DP have been kept intact and
continued to be Gamtals. For the natural growth of the villages, the Village Extension Zone has been
proposed up to 200 m and 300 m from the boundary of the existing Gamatls depending upon the
population of the villages as per Census 2011. If the population is less than 5000, the Village
Extension Zone should be 200 m from the boundary of the Gamtal, otherwise it should be 300 from
existing Gamtal boundary. The Village Extension Zone shall not be applicable in case of deemed
Gamtal.
The existing polluting industries within Surat city area are proposed to be shifted to another area.
This area has been proposed for residential zone as per Development Plan, 2035. This residential
zone shall be available for residential use only after the closure of the existing industries. Also, about
8.58 sq.km. of land has been proposed for reservation for different acquiring bodies like SMC, SUDA,
GHB, PWD, etc. for the purpose of developing these lands for housing. The land under these
reservations has been listed in the list of reservations. This area of reservation is not included in the
proposed area under residential zone.
The Government of Gujarat has issued guidelines for construction of affordable housing within the
development authority area. It is proposed to allow the affordable housing project as per the
Government guidelines in any of the urbanized land use. The beneficiaries shall be as per the
guidelines of the Government.
Total area proposed under Residential zone (including DP 2004 proposal) is 358 sq.km., which is
45.45% of the total urbanised area proposed in DP 2035.

Figure 63: Residential Zone Proposals- DP 2035
19.11.2 INDUSTRIAL ZONE

Surat is one of the industrial hubs of the nation, attracting large labour forces from across the nation
for employment. This is one of the reasons of large share of migrants' population in the city over the
decades. Hazira is one of the biggest industrial centres in the country, housing variety of industries in
terms of scale and nature. Hazira is now made a part of SUDA jurisdiction after extension of SUDA in
December, 2015 under the State Government's resolution. Other than this, there are other pockets
of textile, diamond and Zari industries across the city.
The level of industrial growth over last couple of decades has been tremendous. All the areas
proposed as industrial zones in DP 2004 have been occupied by different types of industries and
moreover, the areas outside SUDA jurisdiction have experienced high level of industrial
development due to the unavailability of industrial zones for development within SUDA. The major
industrial zones proposed in DP 2004 and later on developed as industrial pockets are Pandesara
GIDC, Udhna GIDC and Katargam GIDC. However, Navagam did not develop to its potential even
though it is located in proximity of National highway.
At present, there is hardly any scope of industrial development due to consumption of industrial
zone. There are also various polluting industries located within residential zones, negatively affecting
the health standards, environment and overall liveability. The existing polluting industries within the
residential area proposed to be shifted admeasures about 4.3 sq.km. (1075 acres). For such
industries to be shifted outside and to cater the potential of development, 136 sq.km. of area is
proposed as industrial zone in the Development Plan- 2035, which includes about 9 sq.km. (2200

acres) of Obnoxious and Hazardous Industrial Zone in the newly added Pinjarat village. The location
is on the north of existing Hazira area, under huge Government vacant land with access to water
bodies. The site is in vicinity of 120 Regional Ring Road, 90 m ORR and the Utility Corridor. Only 22
acres of the land is under the private ownership while rest is the Government land. Kadodara,
Palsana, Sachin and Tena growth nodes are proposed for the industrial zone considering the existing
land use and the access to the existing National Highway and proposed Ring Roads. The Industrial
Zone and Obnoxious and Hazardous Industrial Zone existing in DP 2004 have been continued
including the Hazira Industrial Zone as per the erstwhile Hazira Area Development Authority's
development plan. Industrial Corridor along broad gauge railway line near Gothan- Kosad has been
proposed.
Since the acquisition proceedings by OGNC, KRIBHCO and GSPCL is over in the Kavas- Bhatpore area,
the portion which was not acquired has been proposed as Obnoxious and Hazardous Industrial Zone.
Total area proposed under Industrial zone (including DP 2004 proposal) is 136 sq.km., which is
Figure 64: Industrial Zone Proposals- DP 2035
19.11.3 SURAT INDUSTRIAL GROWTH REGION (SIGR) ZONE

Hazira is one of the key industrial areas in the state of Gujarat and is now included in the
development area under the jurisdiction of SUDA. There are critical infrastructure facilities of
Reliance, ESSAR, Shell, L&T. Adani, KRIBHCO, etc. Hazira port has been developed on BOOT basis and
is operational since 2012. As per GMB estimate, the Hazira Port is going to handle about 84 million

MT of cargo by the year 2030. In order to ensure that Hazira port is connected to the rest of the
country, it is essential to have a strong dedicated network for transportation and communication.
The evacuation of this huge volume of cargo is contingent only upon Hazira Port is connected to the
network of Indian railway and the DFC project under implementation otherwise it will choke the
roads around Surat city. SUDA has conceived a plan to develop industrial growth region of about 30
km long, having 1.445 km width from Hazira to the existing BG Delhi Mumbai railway line near
Gothan admeasuring about 40 sq.km.
On the request of the Gujarat Maritime Board and considering the demand of the Hazira Industrial
Association, this industrial growth region has been proposed in the Development Plan - 2035 of
SUDA in which following cross-section is suggested subject to the recommendation by the experts
who may be engaged by the SPV to be formed exclusively for this game changer project.
It is proposed to develop this region SIGR, by mechanism of Town Planning Scheme under the
provisions of Gujarat Town Planning and Urban Development Act, 1976. For expedient
implementation of this project, it is proposed to form a SPV which can act as Development Authority
under the provisions of the Gujarat Town Planning and Urban Development Act, 1976 and can
prepare the TP Scheme and allot the Final Plots for the specific purpose of residential, commercial,
Logistics and Industries. Roads and Railway network can be proposed for the balanced development
of this region as well as the surrounding areas. Hazira rail and road project is being developed by
Govt. of Gujarat through GMB and GIDC's equity participation under non Government railway model
in Hazira Infrastructure Private Limited (HIPL).
Figure 65: Industrial Growth Region- DP 2035

The typical cross-section of this Industrial Growth Region could be as shown in the tablebelow:
Table 134: cross-section of this Industrial Growth Region
Sr. No. Proposed Land-use Width
1 Utility Corridor 250 m
2 Railway Land 30 m
3 Industrial Zone 500 m
4 Part of Regional Ring Road 120 m
5 Logistics Zone 200 m
6 Road 45 m
7 Proposed Residential Zone 300 m
Total Width of the Corridor 1445 m
The development permission shall be given in this zone once the TP scheme is framed under the
provisions of the Gujarat Town Planning and Urban Development Act, 1976.
Total area proposed under Industrial Growth Region zone is 40 sq.km., which is 5.09% of the total
urbanised area proposed in DP 2035.
19.11.4 COMMERCIAL ZONE

Surat being the second largest city of Gujarat after Ahmedabad and having proximity to the Metro
city of mumbai, lot of trade and commerce activities are happening in the Surat city. Considering the
vision of preparing this Development Plan for SUDA to be growth engine of South Gujarat region,
dedicated commercial zone shall help in increasing the commercial activity in Surat. About 8 sq.km.
of commercial zone was proposed in the DP 2004. New commercial zone has been proposed in
Chaltan village near the National Highway-8, which has potential to develop as a commercial centre
for APMC. Commercial zone has also been proposed in the Surat Industrial Growth Region near the
junction of 120 m Regional Ring and 90 m Radial Roads in Kareli, Masma and Narthan and their
adjacent villages. The commercial zone proposed in the Kathor Development Plan which is now
included in the SUDA area, is proposed to be continued as commercial zone since it is in vicinity to
the National Highway- 8.
Total area proposed under Commercial zone(including DP 2004 proposal) is 12 sq.km., which is
19.11.5 PUBLIC PURPOSE

As per provisions of section 12(2) of the Act, the draft development plan shall provide for all or any
of the following public purposes:

a) proposals for the reservation of land for public purposes, such as schools, colleges, and
other educational institutions, medical and public health institutions, markets, social welfare
and cultural institutions, theatres and places for public entertainment, public assembly,
museums, art galleries, religious buildings, play-grounds, stadium, open spaces, dairies;
b) transport and communications, such as roads, highways, railways, and airport, including
their extension and development;
c) proposals for water supply, drainage, sewage disposal, other public utility amenities and
services including supply of electricity and gas;
d) reservation of land for community facilities and services;
e) proposals for designation of sites for service industries, industrial estates and any other
industrial development on an extensive scale;
f) proposals for flood control and prevention of river pollution;
g) proposals for the reservation of land for the purpose of Union, any State, local authority or
any other authority or body established by or under any law for the time being in force.
It is necessary for the performance of statutory functions to take private as well as Government land
for public use as the claim of the whole community is always superior and public necessity is greater
than private interest and claim of an individual.
It is the duty vested in the Area Development Authority and it is the duty vested in the State
Government to envisage all the future need of the society and of proper and systematic
development of the area. If colleges or residential units are allowed to be constructed on
the land upon which sewage treatment plant is necessary today, it cannot be removed in future,
when there will be actual need for sewage treatment plant. All the necessary provisions ought to be
made in advance for the subjects referred to in Section 12 of the Act so that whenever actual
development is to be carried out either for constructing schools, colleges, gardens, medical and
public health institutions, markets, places for public entertainment or construction for water supply,
drainage or sewage treatment plant etc., it may not lead to a situation that no such development
can ever be carried out. Therefore, there is need for reservation of the land for the public purpose
as contemplated in the Act.
In the last 3 decades, the population in SMC area has recorded a decadal growth rate of more than
62%, 76% and 55% during 1981-91, 1991-2001 and 2001-2011 respectively. Development Plan of
2004 has anticipated the population of only 42 lakhss by 2011 for SUDA area. The actual population
of SUDA area as per the last census 2011 is more than 49 lakhss much beyond the population
projected in the 2004 Development Plan. Public facilities are necessary to be provided for the
increasing population.
It is also pertinent to note that the State Government has extended the development area of SUDA
from about 715 km2 to about 1351 km2 by adding another 100 villages having population of about
2.80 lakhss as per 2011 census by the notification of 9.12.2015 and 18.12.2015. Based on the past
trend of population growth rate and the required planning intervention of the urban areas the

population of SUDA area for the target year of 2035 has been projected to be 110 lakhss. It means
additional 60 lakhs people shall be living in SUDA area. Projects like, Expressway from Ahmadabad to
Mumbai, DFC, High Speed Train, Bullet Train, Metro, DREAM City project, setting up of premier
institutions / Universities, etc. is going to influence the Surat in a big way during the plan period of
2015-2035.
Moreover, the highly developed industrial pocket of Hazira Notified Area is also included in the new
SUDA limits for which the Development Plan has now to be prepared. Hazira is one of the major
ports of India. Development of Hazira having concentration of various large scale industries, has lot
of implications on the planning proposals of the SUDA area. The existing industrial portfolio of Hazira
includes industrial activities such as petrochemicals, fertilizers, heavy engineering, steel, energy and
port related activities. More than 20 large and medium companies are located in Hazira, including
KRIBHCO, ONGC, IOC, IPCL, BPCL, CAIRN ENERGY, NTPC, SHELL, GPCL, RELIANCE INDUSTRIES, L & T,
ADANI Infrastructure, ESSAR, etc. Large industrial units are functioning in the Hazira area for which
necessary infrastructure and planning inputs are required along with the comprehensive disaster
management plan. Large scale movement of hazardous goods is also taking place to and fro from
Hazira to different states through newly extended SUDA area. Moreover, Kathor development area,
Sachin (Census Town), Kansad, Kadodara, Olpad, Sayan (Census Town), Amboli (Census Town),
Kamrej, etc. are acting as magnet for the economic activities.
The need has arisen for reserving the land in the DP of SUDA for the various public purposes
mentioned under section 12(2) of the Act for catering to the additional population and to satisfy the
planning requirement.
SVNIT, being the technical institute of repute in Surat, SUDA took the expertise of SVNIT in
analyzing the public purposes plots proposed in the Development Plan of 2004 and suggesting public
purpose plots location to be reserved in this Development Plan - 2035 looking to the population
growth rate and development happened and going to happen within the target year of 2035 in
terms of its use, spatial extent and its location. Unique culture of the urban area as well as regional
developments and national development policies were kept in mind for proposals.
SVNIT submitted the report in April 2016 and accordingly, the public purpose land are reserved in
the SMC, Old SUDA and New SUDA area as per the provisions of section 12(2) of the Act, for various
public purposes for acquiring agencies like SMC, SUDA, GHB, Custom department, R&B, GSRTC,
Airport Authority, P & T, etc.
Under the provisions of the Act, the reserved land has to be acquired by consent, agreement or
under the provisions of the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition,
Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013.
The Public Purpose zone proposed in DP 2004 has been continued in DP 2035.
Historical monuments, Government Buildings, etc. have been included in the Public Purpose zone.
About 36.54 sq.km. of the urbanized land has been proposed under reservation in the DP 2035. The
list of reservation proposed in DP 2035 is given in Annexure- 7 of this report. (removed)

Total area proposed under Public Purpose zone(including DP 2004 proposal) is 63 sq.km., which is
8% of the total urbanised area proposed in DP 2035.
Figure 66: Public Purpose Zone Proposals- DP 2035
19.11.6 RECREATIONAL ZONE

Recreational spaces are indispensable part of any urban area. The most liveable places to live are
those where there are equal opportunities to live, work and play. Open spaces, Parks and Gardens
play a very significant role in the landscape of the city. They are important input for generating
quality of life that people value and enjoy in the city. The land around existing Talavs are proposed
for Gardens and Recreational uses. Garden and open spaces at the neighbourhood level can be
obtained in the TP schemes. Considering the large area and future population of SUDA region, total
46 sq.km. of recreational spaces are proposed in DP 2035 as compared to 12 sq.km. proposed in DP
2004. The major portion of recreational spaces are proposed on southern part of SUDA in the
Gabheni village on the Government Land.

Figure 67: Recreational Zone Proposals- DP 2035
19.11.7 TRAFFIC AND TRANSPORTATION ZONE

In the light of the present traffic and transportation issues and in view of the transportation needs of
this rapidly growing Surat city and the adjoining other developed areas, there is a pressing need to
devise suitable transportation plan for the whole SUDA area which should have the integration with
the other development areas outside the SUDA boundary. The transportation system for the city
needs to be planned in a comprehensive manner, both for the passenger and goods traffic. The
recommendations of the Comprehensive Mobility Plan made for SMC area as part of City
Development Plan has been given due consideration for framing the proposals.
Lack of efficient public transportation system, parking issues, etc. have been taken care of while
framing the proposals. Hierarchy of road system has been properly established for the efficient, safe,
sustainable, affordable and multimodal public transportation system.
A high quality, well connected and integrated transportation network is essential to ensure healthy
growth, thriving economy and high liveability standard for a city. To avoid traffic congestion
problems in future and allow easy movement of goods and people, a comprehensive road network
comprising of Rings and Radials has been proposed in the Development Plan 2035.
A 90 m wide Outer Ring Road around the existing city boundary has already been proposed. New
Regional Ring Road of 120 m width and 116 km length is proposed in the SUDA area. This Ring will
act as a gateway for traffic towards Mumbai and Ahmedabad. Some part of this 120 m wide road has
also been proposed parallel to the National Highway-8 and the proposed Expressway. This 120 m

road can be projected towards Bhruch-Ankleshwar Urban Development Authority in the north and
towards Navsari Urban Development Authority in the south, which can extend up to Mumbai in
future. Another 60 m wide Ring is proposed between 90 m and 120 m wide Ring Roads so as to
accommodate the proposed residential zone. The part of this 60 m road is also proposed parallel to
the national Highway 8 so that in case of emergency, this can act as an alternative path for going
towards Bharuch, Ankleshwar in North and Navsari, Valsad, Mumbai in South.
All three ring roads are connected to the growth nodes and other major city centres through a
network of major Radials of 90 m, 60 m and 45 m width. A combination of Rings and Radials is
planned in such a way that everyone will have an access to one of these major roads from anywhere
in the region at proximity of 3-4 km. 7 radials of 90 m width have been proposed in the SUDA area so
as to have easy access from the adjoining area. 13 radial roads of 60 m width have been proposed.
Similarly, 5 radial roads of 45 m width have been proposed.
Total length of 120 m road proposed in SUDA area is 116 km, 90 m wide roads are of 140 km. 60 m
wide roads have total length of 360 km, whereas 45 m wide roads have length of about 301 km.
Thus the total major roads proposed in DP 2035, have cumulative length of 917 km. This road
network will provide for smooth movement for public and goods traffic. Total road length proposed
in the DP 2035 is more than 2200 km.
18 m wide road has been proposed parallel to the 90 m ORR on the periphery of 500 m residential
zone. Wherever possible considering the existing land use and the embankment, the roads have
been proposed along the Tapi river. Roads of appropriate width have also been proposed along the
Khadis so that the Khadis can be protected and it can properly serviced as and when required.
It is proposed to provide ring road around each and every village, and these rings have been inter-
connected by network of 18 m roads. This will improve the movement of goods and traffic within the
non- urban areas and help improve their economy.
DREAM CITY PROJECT is proposed in Khajod area having access from 90 m ORR. The activities
proposed in the DREAM city will generate huge traffic volume. Moreover, the construction of
Ubharat bridge in future will also add to the traffic volume on the 90 m ORR. Hazira now being
included in the SUDA area- having huge volume of goods movement, there is a need to increase road
width between the Khajod and Ichchapor junctions. The design of these two junction needs to be
prepared by the traffic and transportation experts. Accordingly, the part of 90 m ORRT between
these two junctions has been widened to 120 m width.
Vadodara- Mumbai Expressway is proposed to be passing through the newly extended area of SUDA.
Since the exact alignment of this proposed Expressway is yet to be made available, it is proposed to
have corridor of 500 m width along the roughly proposed alignment of the Expressway. This corridor
will help in implementation of the Expressway of sufficient Right of Way(RoW). No development
permission shall be given in this corridor till the RoW of the proposed Expressway is final decided by
the concerned authority. Once the RoW is finalised, the rest of the land proposed in this corridor
shall be used for purposes specified in the Agriculture zone.
The alignment of Dedicated Freight Corridor from Tapi river towards Dindoli has been marked in the
Development Plan 2035 as per the alignment obtained from the concerned agency. The alignment

from Tapi towards Gothan was not available, hence tentative alignment from Tapi towards Gothan
has been proposed in the land use plan. This will be corrected if made available by the concerned
department before the submission of Draft DP 2035 under section 16 of the Act.
Micro level road network shall be prepared by virtue of Town Planning schemes. New railway
network from Hazira to Gothan can be part of the SIGR. New bridges across Tapi river as suggested
in the Comprehensive Mobility Plan(CMP) can be undertaken by SMC as and when the need arises
during the plan period subject to the alignment suggested by the expert group. The list of proposed
bridge in CMP is given below:

19.11.8 INSTITUTIONAL ZONE

DREAM City project is being developed in the Khajod area. To supplement this project, it is proposed
to have institutional zone in Sarsana, Jiav and Sonari villages in the SMC area near to the DREAM City
project and having access from the 90 m ORR.
Total area proposed under Institutional zone is 6.1 sq.km.
19.11.9 LOGISTICS ZONE

Logistics which deal which the movement and storage of materials, is a significant part of economy.
The logistics parks have the facilities for container depots, warehouses, terminals and ancillary
commercial development. Warehouses are important for distribution of commodities to final
consumer within the city. Provision of truck terminals and truck parking space within the logistics
zone will help in reducing congestions on the roads. The logistics park can also provide facilities for
packaging, parking, mechanized handling, inter- modal transfers, sorting of consumer goods
including cold chain centres. The key benefits of the logistics park are cost saving through economies
of scale, reduced transit and processing time, optimal use of various modes of transport and
reduction in inventory and damages. Considering the huge requirement of space for textile
manufacturing and trading, consumer goods for 110 lakhs population and the future requirement of
Hazira Industrial Area, the Logistics zone has been proposed in the SUDA DP 2035.
About 8,00,000 sq.m. of area adjacent to the Sachin Udhyognagar in the village of Bhatia, Kachholi
and Ravla- Vaktna having wide direct access from the National Highway- 8 to Palsana and proposed

90 m roads have been proposed for Logistics zone. The proposed location is easily accessible from
Delhi- Mumbai National Highway- 8, National Highway to Palsana, 90 m ORR and the outlet from the
proposed Expressway. Moreover, 200 m wide Logistics zone has been proposed along the SIGR,
having approach from the 120 m Regional Ring Road.

19.13 DREAM(DIAMOND RESEARCH AND MERCANTILE) CITY

The Gujarat State Government is in the process of planning to develop a DREAM City with State-of-
the-Art utilities along with social and physical infrastructure facilities.
More than 90% diamonds are manufactured/ processed in the form of cutting, polishing at Surat
along with Navasari, Bhavnagar and Amreli. Therefore the establishment of DREAM City at Surat
would provide a global trading platform to the Surat Diamond traders as well as the international
trading community. The DREAM City will be developed as a smart city which would help in
developing skills in the diamond sector and the city may be developed as an International Diamond
Manufacturing and Trading Hub in an integrated manner. The vast expertise in the sector is already
latent in Surat which the State Government needs to take advantage of.
Hence, setting up of an International Diamond Trading Hub at Surat would be a win- win situation
for the State as well as the Nation, since Surat has a locational expertise of cutting, polishing as well
as trading.
Thus the purpose of DREAM City project is to "Develop International Trading, Research and Service
Hub with a focus on Diamond Bourse, to allow non polluting activities and to extend supply value
chain for high end trading."

The major objectives of DREAM City Project are:
1. To set up a Diamond Research and Mercantile Smart City (DREAM Smart City) at Surat;
2. To provide a common platform for the Diamond Traders of Surat in the form of Diamond
Bourse (exchange) at Surat;
3. To provide one-stop solution to the Diamond Traders by providing Custom House, banks and
other service providers who cater to the gem and jewellery trade;
4. To provide offices for the diamond traders, walk-in vaults, safe deposit boxes, trading floor,
strong rooms, lockers, customs clearance facilities with all the modern facilities required to
carry their day-to-day business;
5. To provide ancillary services required for the Project along with the driving forces for the
Project;
6. To provide world class design and standards for sustainable development with low carbon
policy and Zero waste discharge policy to attract Foreign Direct Investments;
7. To provide world class safety and security standards to the diamond traders;
8. To act as a DREAM City and Diamond Export Centre of Gujarat;
The State Government has formed SPV by the name of Diamond Research and Mercantile City Ltd.
under the Company's Act, 2013.
The DREAM City zone is proposed in part of Khajod village as shown in the proposed land use map.
The DREAM City project shall be implemented by the DREAM City Ltd. Government Company under
the provisions of Gujarat Town Planning and Urban Development Act, 1976 as decided by the State
Government. The development permission in DREAM City zone shall be regulated as may be decided

It would be difficult to estimate the infrastructural requirements for each and every village of the
area. Therefore, the villages are divided in 5 categories according their populations for ease in
estimating the requirements. Estimates for these population classes are given in the table below.
The towns having estimated population higher than 20,000 have already been considered as a part
of estimates made for city area.

requirements in terms of sewerage is estimated below. This is done considering the current gaps in
service delivery and future needs. The estimates are made in two phases, 2025 and 2035. Four major
components of any drainage system are Sewage Treatment Plant, Sewage Pumping Stations,
Underground Network including Rising Mains. To estimate the future cost requirements, cost for
unit area for each of these four components is considered. The unit costs for these components are
provided in table given below.

1 Sewage Treatment Plant 2.84
2 Pumping Stations 2.78
3 Network 3.79
4 Rising Mains 1.32

Considering this as unit cost of development per hectare area and projecting it for two invest phases
of year 2025 and 2035, following results were found. Total urbanised area in 2014 was around 197
sq.km. The total drainage network in the city during the same year was in area of 154 sq.km. This
mean that 43 sq.km. of the urban area was still without drainage system. The priority would be to
lay down sewerage in this area in addition to the expansion of the city area which is estimated to be
around 163 sq.km. The total area to be covered with sewerage by 2025 comes out to be 206 sq.km.
Phase- wise estimates for this period are given in the table below.

20.1.3 SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT ESTIMATES FOR 2035

Municipal solid waste within Surat city is collected by Surat Municipal Corporation. Door-to-door
collection of waste is done from households, commercial users. Collected waste is then taken to
transfer stations, from where it is transported to the dumping site.
For more efficient solid waste management system, the ‘segregation of waste at source’ is essential.
Collection of segregated (dry and wet) will be done for the amount projected in the table below.

The collected waste will be processed at decentralised facilities spread all across the cities.
Decentralised processing is recommended for saving fuel costs and avoiding unnecessary
transportation of waste over long distances. Overall processing cost of waste is around 400 Rs. / per
capita/ year for large cities. The investment estimates are given in the table below.

Thus, total cost for development of road will be around Rs. 1470 crore.
20.3 COST OF LAND ACQUISITION OF RESERVATION LAND

The total cost of land acquisition at Jantri rate is estimated to be Rs. 17,000 crore, out of which only
about 30% of the land is private land and hence the final cost of land acquisition for reservation land
is estimated to be Rs. 5,100 crore.

20.4 PHASING
It is expected that the development projects envisaged in the development plan shall commence
after the development plan gets sanctioned. Therefore it is anticipated that the plan implementation
programs can be worked out by 2016. The phasing of all individual proposals included and proposed
in this report will be spread over 20 years with some buffer period for time over runs. The authority
has considered advance actions in the direction to undertake specific projects which of primary
importance to achieve the objectives of the development plan, which includes for the town planning
schemes and other development projects, however it is hoped that the implementation of the
development plan shall gather momentum with the progress of the time and shall continue to
accelerate further.
20.5 FINANCE & RESOURCE MOBILISATION

The implementation of the development plan calls for long term fiscal planning. In the development
plan standard urban facilities and services are proposed. It is proposed to stimulate a rapid rate of
economic growth, improvement of the areas presently undergoing development, better utilization
of the existing facilities, with preparation of special town planning schemes to achieve planned
development and create the land resource which may generate finance.
It is realized that the development plan proposals remain on paper in the absence of proper
resource mobilization. Properly structured sources of funds for the authority are limited, which
includes, the contribution of local authorities with urban development area (under section 24 of the
act), development charges for the development of lands and buildings (under section 99 and 100),
various fees, contribution, user charges for services such as roads, drainage water supply etc.(under
section 23 of the act). As a matter of fact it is necessary to augment the present funding mechanisms
with innovative means. As brought out in the development plan proposals the primary tool to
implement the plan shall be through the town planning schemes and accordingly the entire
developable area shall be covered in the town planning scheme area. The lands available in the town
planning scheme through the plots allotted to the authority shall be the primary base of resource for
funding the projects.
The direct sources of funds available through the various charges, contributions are inadequate for
the major projects envisaged in the development plan. For funding the various schemes, the
authority will have to seek and rely on loans, grants from the government and other financial
institutions as buffer. However, the authority shall have to mobilize financial resources and utilize
land as resource to gear up various development activities. For the purpose of rising of the resources
for the development, a concept of charging the fees for the services and amenities is proposed in the
development control regulations. It is proposed to implement the Development Plan by means of

Town Planning schemes. The lands available to the authrity by means of vesting as part of TP schmes
mechanism, if used efficiently and in a proper time frame can yield sufficient financial resources for
providing the infrastructure facilities. It is proposed that SMC as well as SUDAshould engage the
services of estate management consultant for guiding the authorities to get the maximum revenue
out of the lands available by means of TP scheme mechanism to appropriate authority.
It is also proposed to finance the infrastructure projects by imposing additional infrastructure

charges for consuming additional F.S.I. than the base F.S.I. In commercial projects for more floor
height, the developer has to pay additional infrastructure charges. Similarly for building height above
40 m, the develper has to pay additional infrastructure charges. To get the substantial amount of
finance for infrastructure projects, it is proposed that in the new residential zone, the base F.S.I.
shall be 0.6 and additional F.S.I. has to be purchased.
The amount available from the sale of F.S.I. in new proposed residential zone admeasuring 150.80
sq.km. assuming ground coverage of on an average 45% and assuming 50% of the total built- up area
available is used as maximum paid F.S.I., then as per the rate of paid F.S.I. proposed to be 40% of
Jantri rate- about 16 sq.km. X Jantri rate shall be the amount generated from the sale of F.S.I.
Compared to that, since the area under reservation is proposed to be 36.54 sq.km. out of which only
30% is private land, only 11 sq.km. land has to be purchased at the Jantri rate. So the land
acquisition for public purpose can be made by means of paid F.S.I.
It is expected that the government shall also help the authority in the accelerating the rate of
development in the urban areas by readily responding to the needs of the authority by way of grants
and loans. Given the initial capital, the authority shall prioritize and can takeup some short term and
a few long term projects keeping in mind the development needs of the different areas and the
revenue generations. In the initial some remunerative projects shall be required to create buoyancy
in the financial strength of the authority.
Revenue realized from the different commercial projects can be dovetailed in the revolving fund
which can be recycled to meet the cost of the schemes in the subsequent stages. Commercial
projects will assist to generate funds for extending the areas of operation of the development
authority. The authority will have to fund for priority sector programs viz infrastructure development
and weaker section housing.
Overall, the major resurces will be generated through Sale of Plots, Incremental Contribution, Other
Fees and Grants from the Government.
Apart from State and Central Government financial assistance, the Authority has to explore the
potential f getting finance from institutions like HUDCO, World Bank, ADB, etc. Even private sector
can be involved in the management, implementation and financing of infrastructure projects
through joint ventures or by way of public private partnership.

21 PROPSED LAND- USE (SUBMITTED UNDER SECTION 16)
SUDA prepared and submitted the Draft Development Plan - 2035 under section 9 to the State
Government on 9th May, 2016 for the area admeasuring 1351 Km2. As per the statutory requirement
the same was published in the Official Gazette the on 10th May 2016 under section 13 for inviting
public opinion. The notice was also issued in the prescribed manner in the Gujarati daily on 11th May,
2016 inviting suggestions and objections from the general public within the statutory time limits of
two months.
As per the provisions of section 14 of the amended Act, 1976, SUDA has to submit the Draft
Development Plan - 2035 to the State Government along with opinion on such objections and
suggestions. As section 15 of the Gujarat Town Planning and Urban Development Act, 1976 was
deleted by the Gujarat Act No. 11 of 2014 which came into force from 21.01.2015, SUDA is now
required to submit the Draft Development Plan -2035 along with the Draft GDCR under section 16 of
the Act, 1976 for the State Government's approval.
21.1 EXCLUSION OF VILLAGES

In the meantime, Government of Gujarat, in exercise of the powers conferred by sub-section (2A) of
section 22 of the Gujarat Town Planning and Urban Development Act, 1976 sub divided the area of
Surat Urban Development Authority and constituted Khajod Urban Development Authority under
sub section (4) of section 22 of the said Act by notification No. GH/V/144 of 2016/ DVP-142015-
2441-L dated 19.07.2016. Thus, Khajod village of Chorayasi Taluks was deleted from the jurisdiction
of SUDA.
Later on, before the Draft DP - 2305 could be submitted under section 16, Government of Gujarat, in
exercise of the powers conferred by the sub-section (2A) of section 22, under notification No.
GH/V/199 of 2016/UDA-102014-5026(3)-L dated 24.10.2016, excluded 54 villages (50 wholly and 4
partly) out of newly added 100 villages from SUDA jurisdiction. In the said notification, Asnabad
village of Olpad taluka which is on the north side of National Highway is shown as excluded from the
SUDA jurisdiction, but in fact, there is no National Highway running east west in the said Asnabad
village. Thus, total Asnabad village is continued to be part of SUDA jurisdiction. Thus, by the said
notification, effectively 53 villages (50 wholly and 3 partly) were excluded from SUDA's jurisdiction.
Few days later, by another notification No. GH/V/200 of 2016/UDA-102014-5026(3)-L dated

03.11.2016, 7 more villages were excluded from SUDA jurisdiction by Government of Gujarat.
Thus, the new development area of SUDA includes,

Note : Out of 3 villages which are partly included Gamtal of Moje –Paria falls within the jurisdiction of
SUDA development area while Gamtal of Moje - Velanja and Sandhiyer fall outside the jurisdiction of
SUDA development area. Hence population of Moje - Paria is considered for the total population of
SUDA area.
Sine the development area of SUDA was modified and reduced from 1351 Km2 to 985 Km2 during the
period intervening between section 13 and section 16, hence, this chapter has been added as a part
of this report.
Urban Development and Urban Housing Department of the Government of Gujarat by the letter dt.
21.11.2016 informed SUDA to submit the Draft Development Plan - 2035 after deleting the villages
from the development area of SUDA along with the suggestions and objections received for the
proposals on the Draft Development plan - 2035 published u/s 13 in the area remaining in the
jurisdiction of SUDA after the notification of 24.10.2016 and 3.11.2016. As per this direction of the
State Government, the proposed Land use table gets modified and is discussed below. Since the
population of villages which are excluded by the notification of 24.10.2016 and 3.11.2016 amounts
merely 1.22 lakhs (as per 2011 census), the population projection for the SUDA area for the target
year 2035 has been kept as projected earlier to be 110 lakhs.
21.2 PROPOSED LAND USE - 2035

Here it is pertinent to note that the existing polluting industries within Surat city area was proposed
to be shifted to village Pinjarat in the huge Government Land in the Draft Development Plan - 2035
published u/s 13 of the Act, on 10.05.2016 and it is proposed that once the polluting industries are
shifted than the area so released from the polluting industries may be used for residential
development as per the regulations of existing residential zone. However, the village Pinjarat where
these industries were planned to be shifted, has now been excluded from SUDA's jurisdiction after
Government of Gujarat's notification of 24.10.2016. The industrial shifting zone is continued as
proposed in the published Draft Development Plan – 2035. The State Government shall develop the
area earmarked earlier for industrial zone in the village Pinjarat by forming a SPV or by any other
mode for accommodating the industries shifted out of the industrial shifting zone.

Moreover, SUDA has conceived the plan to develop industrial growth region having 1.445 km width
from Hazira to the existing BG Delhi Mumbai railway line near Gothan admeasuring. But this SIGR
(Surat industrial Growth Region) proposed through Sandhiyer, Khalipor, Madhar, Kareli and Bharundi
villages, which are excluded from SUDA's jurisdiction after Government of Gujarat's notification
dated 24.10.2016 is now affected.
The zoning proposal in the new development area after exclusion of villages is shown in the Figures
below.

**Total (added 14 reservations after reviewing objections/suggestions) 11,04,748
NOTE:
The spatial extent of the reservation shall be as demarcated in the map of Draft Development Plan- 2035 and the final area shall be as per Revenue Records
for the complete City Survey numbers, Revenue Survey numbers or Block Numbers. In case of part land, the area shall be as obtained from the computer
system. In case of any dispute in this regard, decision of the Chief Executive Authority of SUDA shall be final and binding.
*Reservations assigned with alphabetical letters- following * sign in the table above have been added to the list of the reservations of the Draft
Development Plan- 2035 after its publication u/s 13 of the Act. Such reservations have been added at the recommendation of Surat Municipal Corporation;
in other cases, these reservations were not highlighted in the published Draft DP- 2035 and hence these have been added in this report.

21.4 COST ESTIMATES
Detailed cost estimates for Draft Development Plan- 2035 were documented in Chapter- 20 of this
report when the Draft DP - 2035 was published u/s 13 of the Act. This includes estimates for
infrastructure, road development work and cost for acquisition of land reserved for various purposes
under this Draft Development Plan. The cost estimates projected then are enumerated in the table
below:
Table 157 Cost Estimates in Draft DP - 2035 published u/s 13
Sr. No. Category Total cost (Rs. crore)

Total 30,293
However, after publication of Draft Development Plan- 2035 u/s 13 of the Act, the State Government
modified the development area of SUDA by excluding villages from its jurisdiction by notifications of
24.10.2016 and 03.11.2016. After exclusion of these villages from SUDA, the cost estimates have
been revised. Since most of the infrastructural cost is estimated for the urbanised area, this has less
impact in the 61 villages excluded as most of it was proposed in then agricultural zone. So,
infrastructure cost estimated in u/s 13 Report is kept as it is. After exclusion of 61 villages from
SUDA’s jurisdiction, the proposed road network is affected. For example, the original length of 120
m wide Ring Road was 116 km but after exclusion of these villages, only 79 km of this proposed ring
road would fall under SUDA's jurisdiction. The summary of the proposed road network for Draft
Development Plan- 2035 to be submitted u/s 16 of the Act, is given in the table below:
Table 158 Draft DP 2035 Proposed Roads u/s 16
Sr. No. Road Width (m) Road Length (Km) Total (Km)
Ring Radial
1 120 73.82 0 73.82

4 45 0 216.87 216.87
Total 186.34 544.92 731.26
The cost of development of proposed road network submitted u/s 16 based on the rough estimates
assuming unit cost of road is given in the table below:
Table 159 Draft DP 2035 Road Cost Estimates
Sr. No. Road Width (m) Unit Cost of Road Road Length (km) Total Cost (crore)

in crore/ km)
1 120 3.00 73.82 221.46
2 90 2.00 175.11 350.22
3 60 1.50 265.46 398.19
4 45 1.00 216.87 216.87
Total 731.26 1186.74

After the exclusion of 61 villages from the development area of SUDA, set of reservations for public
purposes in those excluded villages also now not part of SUDA area and hence the acquisition cost of
these land reserved has to be excluded. When the draft DP was published u/s 13, at that time the
total area under reservation was proposed to be 36.54 Km2 and for which acquisition cost was
estimated to be Rs. 5100 crores. With this estimate, for 31.89 Km 2 reserved area which is left after
exclusion of villages, the cost of acquisition shall now be Rs. 4450 crores. The cost estimate for the
