India is undergoing a rapid urban transformation, with nearly half of its population projected to reside in urban areas by 2050. The number of urban households is expected to increase from about Rs. 10 Crore in 2021 to nearly 21 Crore by 2047. This accelerated growth will exert significant pressure on existing urban infrastructure, particularly in congested and aging urban cores such as central business districts, historic precincts, and inner-city neighbourhoods. These areas require innovative and well-planned redevelopment to unlock economic potential, enhance liveability, and accommodate future demand.

Urban Local Bodies (ULBs) are the primary institutions responsible for planning, implementing, and maintaining urban infrastructure and delivering civic services under various Central and State Sponsored Schemes.

Such a mechanism should broaden investment avenues, strengthen frontline institutional capacities, enable structured knowledge sharing, promote equitable growth, and efficiently channel capital into viable urban infrastructure projects.

Leveraging HUDCO’s pan-India presence, long-standing engagement with ULBs, and expertise in urban infrastructure financing, UiWIN is uniquely positioned to institutionalise a structured and scalable urban infrastructure support mechanism...
