Twenty Rapidly Developing Cities in India
Aug 10, 2008Recent report by National council of Applied Economic Research and the Future Group’s wing Future Capital Research throw light on the most developing cities and evolving cities in India.
20 cities are discussed and their importance in Indian market development. It will fuel growth of India regardless of economic slowdown.
379 million more people will be added to these major Indian cities. It will be more than the current population of the US. So these cities will create big demand for consumer good and services. Currently 30% population is urban. By 2016 more than 45% will be urban Indian population.
Cities are divided in three categories: Mega cities, boom cities and niche cities.
Mega cities are populous cities: Four metros Delhi, Mumbai, Calcutta, Chennai and Bangalore, Hydrabad, Ahmedabad and Pune.
Towns in boom cities category are Surat, Kanpur, Jaipur, Lucknow, Nagpur, Bhopal and Coimbatore. These are seven in number. These towns are registering fastest economic growth.
The niche cities five in number are Faridabad, Amritsar, Ludhiana, Chandigarh and Jalandhar.
Developing India will have more than half of its households in middle-class (annual income $6000/~Rs 2,40000 – $30000/~Rs 12, 00000) category by 2016.
These 20 cities will develop at the rate of more than 10 percent and other cities will develop at 7.9 percent from 2008 to 2016. Twenty mentioned cities already account for 60% of the surplus income. Very good point is by 2016; only 7% households will be in low-income ($3000).
Within these twenty cites, annual household income varies widely. When annual household income (AHI) is adjusted to city’s cost of living, Surat emerged as country’s most prosperous city (4.58 lakh). Adjusted AHI of 4.23 lakh for Chandigarh, Chandigarh is second in the most prosperous city.
With this rapid urbanization, township planning and security will be challenging tasks for government.

ReplyDeleteIf I start saying about Kochi, it will take days because thats the developement happening in this city for the last 3 years or so. I saw on the internet that KINFRA has proposed a 100 floor building in the city !!. There are so many malls coming this way and lulu mall is the largest in Asia it seems. Without doubt Kochi has the best port even in Asia!.It is the the only city in India to host QUEEN MARY 2 !!. even IT wise, Kochi is growing at a speed of light as 5 IT parks are under construction. Construction work of metro has also started and will be raedy in about 3 to 4 years.!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThis city has been stagnant for a lot of years but now, it will easily become the best city in India or even Asia soon. Watchout other cities !,Kochi's on the move.

ReplyDeleteI don't like to comment but come to pune once,you will forget other cities............The capital of maratha's .
ReplyDeleteI've been to many cities like
ReplyDeleteBangalore,Chennai,Mumbai and Delhi.I haven't
really seen any tall buildings at Bangalore or
Chennai but I've very tall buildings at Mumbai but
it was very very dirty and there were lots of
slums.Bangalore is also dirty although it was not
as dirty as Mumbai.Ernakulam(Kochi) have many
sky scrappers and the view is very beautiful(More
than Mumbai) as we can see the reflexions of
these tall buildings at the backwaters.Ernakulam
is surronded by backwaters and it was very clean
compared to other cities too.So Is it the best city
in India?
Guys who say "NO" just because they live in
another city doesn't make any sense at all.LO
