1.0 PROJECT BACKGROUND

The Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission (JNNURM) was conceptualized in 2005-06 with a
number of urban reforms highlighting the importance of City Development Plans for the selected mission cities.
These were short-term initiatives focusing on 6-7 years plans and strategies, with an objective to translate the
aspirations of the stakeholders into the vision of the city and to achieve the vision for the city strategies and
outline the projects in various sectors.
The City Development Plan (CDP) is both a planning process and a product which promotes partnership among
the various stakeholders in a city such as the city government, the private business sector, civil society,
academic and national government agencies- to jointly analyse growth issues, develop a vision for the future,
formulate development strategies, design programmes, prioritize projects, mobilize resources, implement,
monitor and evaluate implementation. The preparation of a City Development Plan can be understood as a
consultative process where the municipality and Parastatal agencies responsible for provision of services and
overall development of the city play a pivotal role. The firms and institutions are required to work in partnership
and close collaboration with municipal and other related institutions such as the Water Supply and Sewerage
Boards, Development Authorities, together with other key stakeholders, civil society groups, and
nongovernmental organizations. The CDP is anchored on the following principles of a sustainable city as
envisaged by World Bank:
o Liveability - what can be

done to ensure a healthy and Bankability
dignified standard of living for
the city's residents?
o Competitiveness - how can
the cities be more competitive
in the global economy? Good Sustainable
Bankability - how can the Urban Livability
o Governance Development
cities be more sustainable?
o Good Governance - how can
a city‟s management be
improved? How can
accountability, integrity, and Competitive
ness
transparency be made an
integral part of city's
management.
The Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission (JNNURM) gave an opportunity to the rapidly growing
city of Lucknow, to improve its urban, economic and social infrastructure. City Development Plan (CDP) was
prepared for the city of Lucknow in 2006 as a prerequisite for availing financial assistance under JNNURM.
1.1 CITY DEVELOPMENT PLAN

A city development plan is spelled as a perspective and a vision for the future development of a city/town and
sets down a set of objectives and goals which a town aims to achieve. It identifies thrust areas in various sectors
which need to be addressed on a priority basis in order to achieve the objectives and the vision and thus
provides the overall framework within which projects will be identified and put forward in form of an investment
plan.

Lucknow Municipal
Corporation
It presents the current stage of the city‟s/town‟s development and sets out the directions of change. It also
suggests alternative routes, strategies, and interventions for bringing about the changes. A CDP is anchored on
the goal of creating economically productive, efficient, equitable and responsive cities. As a step to achieve this
goal, the CDP focuses on the development of economic and social infrastructure, strategies that deal specifically
with issues affecting the urban poor, strengthening of municipal governments and their financial accounting and
budgeting systems and procedures, creation of structures for bringing in accountability and transparency, and
elimination of legal and other bottlenecks that have stiffened the land and housing markets. It provides a basis
for cities/towns to undertake urban sector reforms that help direct investment into city-based infrastructure. Thus
it endeavours to achieve the goal of creating economically productive, efficient, equitable and responsive
city/town.

1.2 NEED OF REVISING LUCKNOW CITY DEVELOPMENT PLAN

The Government of India has selected Lucknow, a metropolis, as a “Category B”1 city, for assistance under
JNNURM. The revision of CDP has been carried out in accordance with the revised MOUD guidelines to
consider the city needs in an integrated and participatory manner and subsequently prioritize projects. The
purpose of a Revised City Development Plan is to support Lucknow Municipal Corporation to generate and
provide a strategic framework for city development actions and work towards achieving their long-term vision by
2040, guided by a shared and collective vision and aimed at delivering sustainable development accompanied
with poverty reduction, thereby, helping Lucknow city, in achieving an environmentally sustainable and self-
sufficient status. Lucknow city has grasped numerous changes since the CDP prepared in 2006 with regards to
new infrastructure projects and implementation of reforms which have been undertaken in the last 5-6 years. The
initiatives taken were road widening and subway, construction of Sewage Treatment Plants (STP), remodelling of
storm-water drains, augmenting water supply and development of waste management facilities etc. Apart, there
have been some major changes in the toolkit provided by MoUD for preparation of CDP e.g. some of the sectors
such as urban environment; heritage and conservation, traffic and transportation have been given equal
weightage like physical infrastructure sectors.
The City Development Plan, 2006 had identified 35-36 numbers of projects with a total investment of Rs. 11,856
by 2011-12 to address the infrastructure gaps and city priorities.

In the recent past, Lucknow has been a favoured destination for varied educational institutes, and services
prospects and has consequently witnessed a significant in-migration. Coupling with this fast urban growth and
increasing population from 4.6 Lakhs in 1951 to 28 Lakhs in 2011, there is an issue of grave concern of
environmental degradation in which the growth of the city is linked with hyper-enhancing urban activities thereby;
a substantial need for improvements in urban infrastructure is envisaged. The dynamic nature of the city insists
on the City Development Plan to be a progressive document requiring updation, keeping in view the
developments in the field of Infrastructure and Governance as well as the growth in the population and the levels
of development in the city. This has led to the preparation of the revised City Development Plan (CDP) of
Lucknow city with a long term vision for next 25 years that is 2040. Besides the focus on the key aspects like
planning for Urban Agglomeration or Metropolitan area, comprehensive and inclusive planning, Inter-Sectoral
and Intra-Sectoral linkages, issues like environment planning and sustainable development services level
benchmarks and Information Technology intervention have been considered while preparing the CDP.
1.3 SCOPE OF THE WORK

As stated in the TOR the revised CDP would focus on the development of economic and social infrastructure,
policies and programs addressing the urban poor, strengthening the municipal government and their financial
management hence promoting transparency in their functioning. The revised CDP would also provide a direction
for cities and state government to undertake urban sector reforms which would facilitate flow of investment into
city based infrastructure. It has also become necessary for the cities to think of their future and to determine the
strategies and targets as per the city vision.
Some of the major points which have been considered while preparing the CDP are as follows:
 Planning for urban agglomeration of metropolitan area.
 Comprehensive and inclusive planning.
 Inter - sectoral and intra - sectoral linkages.
 Addressing the issues of environment planning and sustainable development.
 Service level benchmarking.
The Revised City Development Plan has been prepared as per the revised tool kit, guidelines and instructions
provided by the Ministry of Urban Development (MoUD) and Ministry of Employment and poverty Alleviation
MOUEPA and the Department of Urban Development (DoUD) Government of Uttar Pradesh (GoUP). Revised
CDP of Lucknow focuses on the following points:
The City Assessment
Development of Strategic Agenda

and A Vision for the City
Evolving Strategies for the

Development
Developing a City Investment plan

and Financial Strategy

1.4 OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY

3.0 REGIONAL SETTING AND OVERVIEW OF THE LUCKNOW CITY

3.1 INTRODUCTION
Lucknow is the capital city of the state of Uttar Pradesh in India. It is the largest and most developed city in North
India after Delhi. This metro city is the administrative headquarters of Lucknow District and Lucknow
Division. Lucknow has always been known as a multicultural city and flourished as a cultural and artistic capital
of North India. The city is spread on both the banks of River Gomti over an area of 350 Sq. Km with a population
of over 2.8 million. Lucknow city contributes 6.33% of urban population of the state‟s urban population. The city is
famous for its heritage character and popularly known as seat of Nawabs. The city is now among the fastest
growing cities of India and as rapidly emerging as commercial and retailing hub. Being the capital city, it is the
seat of government and also the trading hub for nearby towns, Lucknow is also referred as “Golden City of the
East”.
3.1.1 Chronological development of Lucknow City
Origin of the City: Lucknow derives its name from legendary hero Lakshaman, who was younger brother of
Lord Rama and was also known as Lakhan. At the orders of his elder brother, Lakshaman set-up his capital at
the present site of Lakshaman Tila, and city was named Lakshamanpur or Lakhanpur. Since 1350 Lucknow and
parts of the Awadh region were ruled by the Delhi Sultanate, Sharqi Sultanate, Mughal Empire, Nawabs of
Awadh, East India Company and the British Raj. Lucknow was one of the major centres of Indian rebellion of
1857, participated actively in India's Independence movement, and emerged as an important city of North India.
1300: For about eighty-four years Awadh was part of the Sharqi Sultanate of Jaunpur, later on Emperor
Humayun made it a part of the Mughal Empire in around 1555. The Nawabs of Lucknow were in fact the Nawabs
of Awadh, but were so referred to because after the reign of the third Nawab, Lucknow became the capital of
their realm. The city was North India‟s cultural capital. Under them music and dance flourished, and many
monuments were erected. Of the monuments standing today, the Bara Imambara, the Chhota Imambara, and
the Rumi Darwaza are notable examples.
1700: The British appointed a resident in 1773 and over time gained control of more territory and authority in the
state. They were, however, disinclined to capture Awadh outright and were brought face to face with the
Marathas and the remnants of the Mughal Empire. In 1798, the fifth Nawab Wazir Ali Khan alienated both his
people and the British, and was forced to abdicate.
1800: In 1856 the East India Company first moved its troops to the border, and then annexed the state under
the Doctrine of Lapse, which was placed under a chief commissioner. Oudh was placed back under a chief
commissioner, and was governed as a British province. In 1902, the new name of United Provinces of Agra and
Oudh was introduced.
1900: In 1901, after remaining the capital of Oudh since 1775, Lucknow, with a population of 264,049, was
merged in the newly formed United Provinces of Agra and Oudh. However, it became the provincial capital in
1920 when the seat of government was moved from Allahabad. Upon Indian independence in 1947, Lucknow
became the capital of Uttar Pradesh, the erstwhile United Provinces.

Population Total - LMC Decadal Growth Rate
The average decadal growth rate of Lucknow city from 1951 to 2011 has been 36.14%. The graph of
demographic growth trend shows more than 70% of the growth between the year 1981 and 1991, the rapid
growth rate during this decade was due to change in the municipal boundary area. Before the year 1987, area
under municipal limits was 118 sq. km which was expanded to 350 sq. km; hence, the nearby settlements and

Lucknow Municipal
Corporation
villages also became part of the municipal limit resulting into high population growth for the decade. The trend of
population growth in the last two decades is towards decreasing side. The reasons for declining growth rate can
be stabilization in birth rate and heavy migration from Lucknow city towards metro cities like Delhi and Mumbai.
4.1.2 Population Distribution
The spatial distribution of population has been examined based on the ward population. LMC has 110 wards with
ward population ranging from 69,000 in ward number 21 to 11,000 in ward number 31 and an average ward
population of 25,000. Size of the wards varies a lot in the city, the ward areas towards the inner city side are
small, however, as one moves towards the periphery the ward area increases. The ward-wise population
distribution of LMC is shown in Table 4-2.

4.2 POPULATION PROJECTION FOR LUCKNOW CITY

Population growth of any place not only depends upon natural increase but also on in-migration. In addition to
Lucknow‟s rapid socio-economic development that had a significant impact on the urbanization in the city, future
growth is governed to a large extent by the development patterns in the city. The extent of in-migration in
Lucknow city is mainly the impact of the key projects that are influencing socio-economic development in the city
and peri-urban areas.
The population of LMC has been projected up to the horizon year 2041 taking into consideration the decadal
population trend of Census of India and provisional figures of Census from 1951 to 2011. The population is
projected using three statistical methods viz. Arithmetic Progression Method, Incremental Increase Method and
Geometric Progression Method.
The average decadal population growth rate of Lucknow city has been 33%. There is a fluctuation in growth rate
between the decades 1981 and 1991 due to expansion of municipal boundaries and jurisdiction change. Figure
4-2 given below shows results of various population projection methods applied for Lucknow city.

4.2.1 Population Density

The overall livability of a place is dependent on the population density of that place, In case of Lucknow as per
the provisional figures of Census 2011; the population density is 8049 persons/ Sq.km (approx. 80 pph). The
average population density of Lucknow city is on the lower side of the permissible limits of the UDPFI guidelines
for metropolitan cities; it is also the lowest when compared to other mega cities like Bangalore, Hyderabad,
Ahmadabad and Chennai as given in Figure 4-3.

Population density of Lucknow city has remained almost same between the years 1951 and 1991 due to
continuous increase in the municipal corporation boundary. After the last expansion of city areas which took
place in the year 1987, the population density has increased manifold from 4262 persons per sq. km (46 pph) in
1991 to 8049 persons per sq. km (approx. 80 pph) in 2011 due to continuous growth in the population. From
1951 to 2011 changes in population density figures and area in Lucknow city has been given in Table 4-5.

Ward wise population density: The average population densities of wards in LMC is 240 pph. Ward numbers
46, 79, 89, 90, 94, 107 have the highest density which is more than 800 pph whereas ward numbers 4, 17, 19,
20, 25, 40, 47 have least density which is less than 30 pph. As shown in the Figure 4-4, wards in the core city
area have higher density than the wards on the periphery areas. Wards along the Gomti River have high density.
The overcrowding in these wards is the consequence of being the old historic city with specialized and intense
trade and commerce activities being taken up; the overcrowding indicated by the densities call for decongestion
of these areas. Ward wise population density and their comparison with UDPFI guidelines have been given in
Table 4-6.

4.3.1 Sex Ratio
One of the basic demographic characteristics of the population is the sex composition. Sex ratio is defined as
“the number of females per 1000 males”. In any study of population, analysis of sex composition plays a vital
role. The sex composition of population is affected by differentials in mortality conditions of males and females,
sex selective migration and sex ratio at birth. As per provisional figures 2011, Census of India, the Sex ratio of
LMC is 928 females per thousand males which is higher than the district (917) and state (908) however lower
than the national level figures i.e. 940. Sex ratio in the city has shown improvement from the last year census
from 893 females per 1000 males in 2001 to 928 females per 1000 males in the year 2011. The ward-wise sex
ratio of Lucknow shows that the highest sex ratio of 1040 is found in ward number 103 while the lowest is found
in ward number 67 with 796 females per 1000 males in 2011.

4.4.3 Key issues for Trade and Commerce Sector

 Use of ground water for industrial purpose.
 No separate feeder is available for industrial units resulting into heavy power cuts.
 Unavailability of sewerage lines in industrial areas hence sewage is discharged into storm water drains
which finally meets the natural water bodies.
 Expansion of existing industrial areas is not possible due to unavailability of land.
 Heavy traffic jams on the commercial roads such as Aminabad, Chauk, and Kapoorthala due to loading
and unloading activities throughout the day which causes sound and air pollution in the nearby
residential areas.
 Unorganized informal shops on the roads leading to narrowing of road width and causing traffic jams.
 No specific space is available for weekly and informal markets in the city.

5.0 URBAN GROWTH AND LAND USE

5.1 SPATIAL GROWTH PATTERN
From a small Lakhanpur village, Lucknow has grown to a metropolis with 28 lakh of population spread over an
area of 350 sq. km. In the year 1951, total area under LMC was only 48 sq. km and in the period of 40 years it
has increased nine folds. Last expansion of LMC boundary was done in the year 1987 after including
surrounding villages. Since then no amendments in the boundary has taken place. Expansion of LMC area over
the years has been shown in Table 5-1.
TABLE 5-1: EXPANSION OF LMC AREA OVER THE YEARS

Gomti River life line of Lucknow city divides the city into two parts Trans Gomti and Cis Gomti and the city has
grown along both the sides in a circular manner with NH and SH network radiating out form the city in all the
directions. The central business district (CBD) of Lucknow is located in the heart of the city and the urban sprawl
of the city has resulted in the city growing outwards in all directions. The driving forces for the growth of the city
were capital city, administration hub, educational hub and trade and commerce activities which have been
continuous attraction for the people of rural and nearby urban areas. The CBD of Lucknow is the high density
zone with major land use under residential and commercial activities. The old city is congested with its narrow
roads and lack of open spaces. Majority of the middle and high income groups are inhabited on the peripheral
newly developed areas. Due to growing population, the demand of new residential areas is also increasing
resulting into development of new colonies such as Gomti Nagar, Rajajipuram and Indira Nagar. Also in the
previous decade Lucknow has seen real estate boom in terms of various integrated townships in the outer skirts
of the city. The urban sprawl has taken place in all directions but more significantly in the eastern and northern
directions. Significant changes in land use are evident in the southern part of the city also.
5.2 LAND USE PATTERN – 2021 MASTER PLAN

As per Master Plan 2021 the developed municipal area in the year 1987 was 9,170 ha which was increased to
16,270 ha in the year 2005. The Lucknow Master Plan was prepared in the year 2004-05 for the year 2021
covering the total area of 413 sq. km. Table 5-2 presents the land use distribution pattern of Lucknow city for
the year 1987 and 2004-05. Estimated area in the year 1987 was 9170 hectare which has increased by 77.4% in
the year 2004-05. Trends in land uses have been interesting, especially the fact that residential use has grown
dramatically in comparison to all other uses, although there has also been notable growth in commercial,
industrial and public sector land use.

Industrial Areas: Lucknow city has been famous for small scale and house hold industries however there are
few areas in the outer skirts of the city such as Amousi, Sarojni Nagar at Kanpur road where industrial
development has taken place. Apart, Aish Bagh and Deva Marg areas also attracted industrial units. 6% of the
land use comes under industrial use.

Begum Hazrat Mahal Park, Dayanidhan Park, Suraj Kund Park, Shaheed Samrak, Budha Park, Botanical
Garden, Ambedkar Park, Hathi Park, Nimboo Park, Residency and Geological Garden. Major open areas in
Lucknow are situated along Gomti River whereas the old city area lacks in open spaces and green areas.
Water Bodies: Lucknow city is situated along the banks of River Gomti. Apart from the river, there are few water
bodies in the form of pond and lake such as Moti Jheel, Chand Jheel, Kathouta Jheel, Ahal Jheel etc. Presently
most of the water bodies have dried up and have become polluted due to non-maintenance.
Public Services: 10% of the city area falls under public services use such as university, colleges, medical
facilities, training centers, research institutes etc. Lucknow city is progressing in providing the various kinds of
medical and educational facilities not only to the city people but to the nearby villagers also.
5.3 MASTER PLAN 2021 EXTENSION

Town and Country Planning Department, Uttar Pradesh has added 197 villages in master plan boundary with
total area of 53,041 ha excluding the forest area through Act 6, notification number 174 dated 27th January 2009.
37 villages out of total 197 villages fall under Lucknow Industrial Development Authority (LIDA) with total area of
14,126 ha. After incorporation of additional area, total developed and developable area in Lucknow comes to
approximately 980 sq. km. Various new proposals have been given for newly extended area such as outer ring
road to avoid the pressure on existing road networks, provision of green belt, cattle colony, dumping ground,
ware housing, truck terminal etc. Figure 5-2 shows the extended master plan boundary for 2021.

5.4 FUTURE GROWTH DIRECTIONS

The growth directions for Lucknow have been envisaged towards northern, western and south eastern directions.
Kanpur Road, Sultanpur Road, Hardoi Road, Faizabad Road are the major direction for future growth. New
developments in form of townships and apartments can be seen in these areas. Construction of outer ring road
and bund along the river can boost up the development in all the parts of the city. Currently the growth corridors
pass through eastern, western and southern directions. There is restriction of growth in the south western

potential growth directions for future development of Lucknow city.
LIDA Township: The Lucknow Industrial Development Authority (LIDA) recently approved the Draft Master Plan
2031 of an integrated industrial township on the Lucknow-Kanpur highway spread over an area of 30,000 ha.
The township will include 20% industrial, 26% residential, 20 % recreational, 16% transportation, 12% for
public/semi-public amenities, 4% mixed and 2% commercial purposes area. It is further divided into three zones
– Multi-functional Zone towards Lucknow, Tourism and Conversation Zone near Nawabganj Bird Sanctuary, and
Industrial Zone towards Unnao and Kanpur.
5.5 KEY ISSUES
 Land use deviation from master plan: There has been lot of variations in the proposed land use and
actual development taking place in the city.
 Haphazard development: New development taking place in the periphery of the town is in very
haphazard pattern with many unauthorized constructions are coming up. These type of development
lack in the infrastructure and services availability and will be termed as unauthorized colonies.
 Decreasing green cover: As per land use figures shown in the earlier section, there has been
reduction in green cover in the city from 4% to 3% between the years 1987 and 2005.

6.0 HOUSING SCENARIO IN LUCKNOW

6.1 INTRODUCTION
On the basis of geographical location and development history, Lucknow city can be divided into Old and New
Lucknow. Old Lucknow, spread out in the Cis-Gomti region, was established in the 'Nawabi' era. A major part of
Old Lucknow is dotted with unplanned residential developments fraught with old architecture, heritage
monuments, grossly inadequate infrastructure, water and sanitation issues. The region is home to a number of
handicraft factories for Zardozi and Chikan embroidery work. People from varying socio-economic groups,
ranging from wealthy established families to families below poverty line reside here.
New Lucknow lies in the trans-Gomti region, with the exception of certain prime localities around Hazratganj (in
Central Lucknow) that are located in the Cis-Gomti region. This part started to develop at a much later stage,
therefore is equipped with well-planned roads, modern architecture and an organized social infrastructure. While
the real estate landscape is dotted with independent houses, the trend of apartment/floor establishments by
reputed builders is now being witnessed. Lucknow over the years has witnessed a radial growth, greater along
the Faizabad Road and also along the roads leading to other neighboring cities, hence carving out newer
locations on the real estate development map.
6.2 HOUSING TYPOLOGY IN LUCKNOW

The study of prevalent housing typology of a city is an important aspect to understand the traditional and
upcoming housing technology and architectural style of that place. The old city area of Lucknow city forms the
core of the town with old traditional types of housing development like houses with Wadas. Being historically
developed the old city has primarily mixed land use where city‟s major trade and commerce activities happen. In-
migration to the city is increasing year on year which has led to increase in demand for housing for all sections of
society. The demand for higher and upper/ middle income groups is normally being met by the private builders.
Lack of affordable housing for the lower income has led to the growth of slums all over the city. There are three
types of housing system in Lucknow i.e. traditional, planned and unplanned described in the next sections.
6.2.1 Traditional Houses
The core city area is typified with old traditional housing system mainly categorized into two types, one is the
houses with Angans or Wadas and another is Hata or Prangan. The old city still has characteristics of the old
housing types. The old houses are made up of thick bricks and stones.
Wadas/Angans:
These types of residential buildings were made up of locally available materials including stones and bricks made
up of mud; limestone has also been used in the construction. Presently, most of the wadas are in dilapidated
condition, requiring redevelopment. Most of the wadas are more than 100 years old and some of the owners of
have renovated their residents with new construction materials, like tiles and R.C.C. roofs etc.
Hattas/Prangan:
Hatas are also private housing often up to 4 stories with about 10 to 20 rooms, which are meant for single
household, each kholi has single room for all purposes with a kitchenette, HHs on same floor share a common
block of latrines, each block containing typically 4 to 5 latrines. These are built on modern construct technology
and being the cheaper option is preferred by the people belonging to the low income group.

6.2.2 Planned Housing

Planned development in the city started in the decade 1960 whereby LDA and UPAVP started developing
planned colonies with individual plotted housing types in the outer skirts areas. Most parts of the city are dotted
with plotted/independent houses style development. While private developers have ventured into the city more
than 3 decades ago, offering planned plotted developments, their presence has paced-up in the last 5-6 years
(especially multi-storied developments).
6.2.2.1 Public Housing
Lucknow Development Authority (LDA) Schemes
Established in 1974, LDA aims to coordinate planned and sustainable development of the city. One of its
functions is to develop housing schemes in the city to meet the growing demand. LDA develop the housing
colonies including the basic infrastructure like roads, sewer lines, drainage lines, parks etc. After selling the plots
infrastructure and facilities developed by LDA are transferred to respective departments for operation and
maintenance purpose. Some of the schemes developed by LDA are:
 Aliganj
 Jankipuram
 Jankipuram Vistar
 Gomti Nagar
 Gomti Nagar Vistar
 Priyadarshani On Sitapur Road
 Basant Kunj Yojna at Hardoi Road

Lucknow Municipal
Corporation
 LDA Colony at Kanpur Road

Uttar Pradesh Avas Vikas Parishad (UPAVP) Schemes
UPAVP is responsible for providing affordable housing schemes inclusive of basic facilities and infrastructure
especially to economically weaker section, low and middle income groups of the society at competitive prices. All
the basic facilities such as roads, drainage lines, sewerage lines, sanitation facilities etc. are developed by
UPAVAP; and after the completion, the infrastructure is transferred to concerned departments for operation and
maintenance. Table 6-1and Table 6-2 give a summary of the completed and proposed housing schemes by
UPAVP.

6.2.2.2 Private Housing

The city is undergoing a transition, wherein the appetite for plots/independent houses has seen some change
towards a taste for multi-storied developments. The reason being diminishing supply of land plots, lucrative
amenities provided in private apartments and moreover, the Lucknow Development Authority has not announced
schemes for independent houses and plots for a long time and the schemes that have come of late, offered
apartment floors.
Big real estate developers like DLF and Emaar MGF have recently stepped into the Lucknow market while some
known builders such as Rohtas, Eldeco, Unitech and Parsvnath have already been offering projects in the city.
While the lure of land plots/independent houses is still rampant, migration to builder societies has been
witnessed particularly on account of better amenities and security. Most builder projects in the city offer a diverse
product mix (comprising land plots, villas and floors), as per estimated demand. Completed and proposed
townships developed by private developers are listed down.
Integrated Townships:
 Eldeco City: Sitapur Hardoi bypass road, area 113 acre
 BBD Green City: Faizabad Road, area 318 acre
 Gomti Green City by MRMGF: Lucknow Sultanpur Road, area 226 acre
 Omax Integrated Township: Lucknow Sultanpur Road, area 121 acre
Other Townships:
 Ansal Township at Sultanpur road
 Garv Township on Rai Bareli Road
 DLF Township on Rai Bareli Road
 Shipra Township at Gomti Nagar Extension
 AMS Township
 Sahara City Homes on Sitapur Hardoi Bypass near IIM

 Cis-Gomti Region - Zone 5: Hardoi Road, Alambagh, Rajajipuram, Chowk, Thakurganj and other
locations of old Lucknow city.
6.2.2.4 Location Attractiveness Index
Figure 6-1 shows the location attractiveness index for Lucknow city whereby Gomti Nagar has an edge over
the other areas in terms of land prices. This is due to the planned development in and around the area, proper
infrastructure system and less pollution. Faizabad Road is another area which is attracting new development in
the city.

6.2.2.5 Unplanned Housing

Slums: Lucknow being capital of the state attracts lot of in-migration. Population belongs to poor class are
generally homeless and are forced to live in slums having minimal living conditions and amenities. There are 609
registered slums in Lucknow with total population of 7 lakhs which is 26% of the total city population. Most of the
slums are located near the river bank, vacant government land, vacant private land etc. Living conditions in these
slums are very poor and unhygienic.
Unauthorized /Unplanned Colonies: Unauthorized or unplanned colonies in Lucknow are another major issue.
As per Master Plan 2021 there are 241 unauthorized colonies in Lucknow city located all over the city. These
colonies do not follow the zoning regulations and rules such as FAR, set back, distance between two buildings,
fire protection etc. However infrastructure status in these colonies is far better than the slums. Houses
constructed in these colonies are illegal and currently Lucknow government has no plans to regularize them as
this will encourage other people to construct illegal houses.

6.6 KEY ISSUES

 Importance of traditional housing is decreasing and the houses are losing structural stability due to lack
of maintenance.
 Traditional houses in old city with more than 100 years old are in dilapidated condition and need
immediate attention.
 With increasing in-migration (skill and unskilled) demand for rental housing is increasing.
 Unauthorized and haphazard development is increasing in the outer parts of the city.
 Due to growing house demand in Lucknow, land mafia is also very active engaged in illegal land buying
and selling activities.

7.0 URBAN POOR AND SLUMS IN LUCKNOW

7.1 DEFINITION OF SLUM
Under Section-3 of the Slum Area Improvement and Clearance Act, 1956, “Slums have been defined as mainly
those residential areas where dwellings are in any respect unfit for human habitation by reasons of dilapidation,
overcrowding, faulty arrangements and designs of such buildings, narrowness or faulty arrangement of streets,
lack of ventilation, light, sanitation facilities or any combination of these factors which are detrimental to safety,
health and morals”.
As per UN Habitat, a slum is characterized by lack of durable housing, insufficient living area, lack of access to
clean water, inadequate sanitation and insecure tenure.
In Census of India slums have been categorized and defined as of the following three types:5
 Notified Slums: All notified areas in a town or city notified as „Slum‟ by State, Union territories
Administration or Local Government under any Act including a „Slum Act‟ may be considered as
Notified slums
 Recognized Slums: All areas recognized as „Slum‟ by State, Union territories Administration or Local
Government, Housing and Slum Boards, which may have not been formally notified as slum under any
act may be considered as Recognized slums
 Identified Slums: A compact area of at least 300 populations or about 60-70 households of poorly
built congested tenements, in unhygienic environment usually with inadequate infrastructure and
lacking in proper sanitary and drinking water facilities. Such areas should be identified personally by
the Charge Officer and also inspected by an officer nominated by Directorate of Census Operations.
This fact must be duly recorded in the charge register. Such areas may be considered as Identified
slums
7.2 SLUMS IN LUCKNOW CITY
Lucknow city is witnessing boom in real estate market on one hand, whereas, on the other hand number of slums
are also growing. Being the capital of the state Lucknow attracts migrants from all over the state (rural and
urban). The city continues to attract migrants, many of who end up in informal settlement which is generally being
regarded as slum. Most of them comprise of poor or low income group, who are forced to live in slums or slum
like conditions due to poor affordability. The slums are spread over the length and breadth of the city. As per
Rajiv Avas Yojna (RAY) report Lucknow city has total of 609 slums out of which 502 are notified and 107 are
non-notified. The slums have been existed in city for more than 50 years. Total population in slum area is
7,72,807 which is about 26% of the total city population as per Census 2011 provisional population data. 67% of
the slums are located in the core city area whereas 33% of the slums are located in fringe area.

7.3 GROWTH OF SLUMS IN LUCKNOW
Being the capital city and center of culture and urbanization Lucknow has always been an attraction of migration
not only from rural areas but from nearby small urban centers also. Apart from economic activities, education
facilities are another major reason for migrants to come and settle down in Lucknow. Development of slums in
the last 100 year has been analyzed to see the pattern of growth in number of slums. Figure 7-3 shows the
decade wise growth of slum numbers in Lucknow. As evident from the graph development of new slums has
decreased over the years in the city.

7.5 SLUM TYPOLOGY

For the purpose of analyzing the existing situation, RAY has divided the slums into four categories namely:
 Land tenability
 Land tenure status
 Ownership of the land
 Age of the slum
As shown in the table below, of the total 609 slums 353 slums are on private land and remaining slums are
located on government land. Around 24% of the slums have secure tenure whereas 76% of the slums do not
have secure tenure and access to basic services.

Age is another important factor considered during the assessment of the slum conditions. As per the information
available more than 55% of the slums in Lucknow are more than 50 years old as the city is one of the oldest
settlements in north India. While remaining 45% of the slums have developed in the last 50 years.

7.6 LOCATION OF SLUMS

Slum and squatter settlements in Lucknow are scattered throughout the city and found mostly in the river bed of
Gomti, both side of Haider Canal, in the vicinity of railway track and specifically on fringe area of Lucknow -
Lucknow Municipal
Corporation
Faizabad Road. Slums located in low lying areas, along open drains/nalas, hazardous toxic sites are prone to
water logging and flooding. The slum concentration in these areas has not only led to poor living conditions, but
deterioration of city environment. As per the data available from RAY report, 408 slums are located in the core
city area whereas rest 201 slums are located in fringe area of Lucknow city. Data shows 37% of the slums in
Lucknow are prone to water logging and floods due to lack of drainage lines and over flowing of river in rainy
season. Table given below presents the location of slums along various physical features.

Education Facility:
Table 7-11, Table 7-12 and Table 7-13 presents the availability of different categories of education
institutions and their distance in slum areas. The number of schools availability decreases from pre-primary to
primary and then high school. Pre-primary schools are available mostly within the slum area or within distance of
1 km from slum which is walkable for the children. Same is the situation for primary schools however most of the
high schools are available between 1 and 2 km of distance.

however 35% of the slums have women‟s associations to empower women with home based employment, in
addition, slums do have self-groups as well as credit securities.
Shelter homes: There are 23 shelter homes in Lucknow

with total capacity of 1500 people. Supply of services and
amenities to these shelter homes is at a poor stage. No
food or health services are being provided in the shelters.
The issue of identification of location of the shelter and its
proximity to homeless population is another area of
concern as many are out of reach for homeless. Security
guards are deputed by LMC for shelter home however no
other staff is available for maintenance purpose. There are
almost 19000 homeless in Lucknow mostly migrant
labourers and rickshaw-pullers, who spend their nights
under railway over bridges, flyovers, railway platforms, bus
stations, outside shopping complex, temples, in unused
sewer pipelines and on footpath.

7.8 AUTHORITIES FOR SLUM IMPROVEMENT

State Urban Development Authority (SUDA), District Urban Development Authority (DUDA), LMC are responsible
bodies for implementation of schemes and programs for urban poor and slums in state and district level. Nehru
Rojgar Yojna (NRY), Basic services for Urban Poor (BSUP), IHSDP, Rajiv Awas Yojna, Rajiv Rinn Yojna, Asra
Yojna etc. are some of the major programs and schemes implemented in Lucknow city. Apart from DUDA and
SUDA, UPAVP also works in providing affordable housing for urban poor by earmarking certain percentage of
housing stock for lower section of the society.
7.9 SCHEMES FOR SLUM IMPROVEMENT

7.9.1 National Urban Livelihood Mission (NULM)
NULM was launched to reduce poverty and vulnerability of the urban poor households by enabling them to
access gainful self-employment and skilled wage employment opportunities, resulting in an appreciable
improvement in their livelihoods on a sustainable basis, through building strong grassroots level institutions of the
poor. The primary target of NULM is the urban poor, including the urban homeless. NULM will be implemented in
all the district headquarters town and cities with population of more than one lakh as per census 2011. Various
components to be taken up under the mission are as follows:
 Social Mobilization And Institutional Development (SM&ID)
 Capacity Building And Training (CB&T)
 Employment Through Skills Training And Placement (EST&P)
 Self-Employment Programme (SEP)
 Support to Urban Street Vendors
 Scheme of Shelter For Urban Homeless (SUH)
10 City Livelihood Centers (CLC) under NULM are to be established in Lucknow. Four CLCs are already opened
up in the city located in DUDA office at Naval Kishore Road, Patel Dharamshala in Kapoorthala (Zone 3 ),
Hussainabad (Zone 6) and at Kanpur road between Mawaiya and Alambagh crossing. Key aims of the CLC are
to improve the job prospects of skilled artisans and to ensure that they got fair wages based on their skills.
Services relating to carpentry, gardening, construction, security, plumbing, electrical, security and house-keeping
would be made available through the centers. The centers apart from providing employment to skilled persons
would also make available quality and reliable services to people.
7.9.2 Swarna Jayanti Shahari Rozgar Yojana (SJSRY) (Merged with NULM)
The objectives of the revised SJSRY are:
• Addressing urban poverty alleviation through gainful employment to the urban unemployed or
underemployed poor by encouraging them to set up self-employment ventures (individual or group),
with support for their sustainability; or undertake wage employment;
• Supporting skill development and training programmes to enable the urban poor have access to
employment opportunities opened up by the market or undertake self-employment; and
• Empowering the community to tackle the issues of urban poverty through suitable self-managed
community structures like Neighborhood Groups (NHGs), Neighborhood Committees (NHC),
Community Development Society (CDS), etc.
7.9.3 Basic Services for Urban Poor (BSUP)
In the financial year 2005-06 central government started the scheme Basic Services for Urban Poor for the cities
with population of more than 10 lakhs. Between year 2006 and 2010, ten DPRs were approved under BSUP
program for Lucknow city with total cost of Rs. 376.65 Crores for housing and infrastructure facilities.

7.9.4 Rajiv Awas Yojna (RAY)

Encourage States/Union Territories (UTs) to tackle slums in a definitive manner, by focusing on:
1. Bringing all existing slums, notified or non-notified (including recognized and identified) within the formal
system and enabling them to avail the basic amenities that is available for the rest of the city/UA;
2. Redressing the failures of the formal system that lie behind the creation of slums by planning for
affordable housing stock for the urban poor and initiating crucial policy changes required for facilitating
the same.
Rajiv Awas Yojana (RAY) envisages a “Slum Free India” with inclusive and equitable cities in which every citizen
has access to basic civic infrastructure, social amenities and decent shelter. The implementation phase of the
scheme is for the period 2013-2022. RAY was initiated by central government in 18 cities of Uttar Pradesh to
make the cities slum free. Detail report and mapping for slums in Lucknow has been done under RAY program in
December 2012 however the implementation part still needs to be done.
7.9.5 Rajiv Rinn Yojna (RRY)
The Ministry of Housing and Urban Poverty Alleviation (MH&UPA), Government of India has designed a Revised
Interest Subsidy Scheme - renamed as Rajiv Rinn Yojana (or Rajiv Loan Scheme), as an additional instrument
for addressing the housing needs of the EWS/LIG segments in urban areas.
7.9.6 Aasra Yojna (Residential)
Aasra housing scheme for the urban poor has been launched by state government, in which preference will be
given to the minorities. The scheme is being executed by the State Urban Development Agency under the
Department of Urban Employment and Poverty Alleviation. Construction of approx. 780 houses for urban poor
has been proposed and funds for the same has been approved and released to Construction and Design
Services (C&DS), division of Jal Nigam for construction work.
7.10 NGOS INITIATIVE

7.14 VISION STATEMENT

“Slum free city with inclusive and affordable housing for all”
7.15 CORE STRATEGY AND PROJECT IDENTIFICATION

7.15.1 Core strategy
As per the RAY objectives to make Lucknow a Slum free city, an imperative slum rehabilitation strategy would be
necessary depending on the expected outcomes from the findings or analysis of existing slum situation of a city.
The rehabilitation strategy comprises of several components such as:
1. Physical targets – relocation, in-situ and up gradation
2. Law and legislation for slum dwellers
3. Stakeholders/community participation
4. Financial framework
5. Institutional mechanism
• Relocation
Physical Target • In Situ Development
• Up Gradation
Law and Legislation • Formulation of Draft law
Institutional Mechanism
Financial Plan • PPP Model
Stakeholder and Community

Participation
Slum Rehabilitation Strategy
1. Physical targets
For the slum rehabilitation, the top most priority would be given to the redevelopment/rehabilitation of
identified slums and measures to prevent future slums. The following three options of redevelopment
are based on housing tenure, tenability, physical location, density and ownership:
a) Relocation mode
 Depending on the physical location of slums such as hazardous sites and environmental
conditions without alternative
 Involves communities in identification of alternative sites

Lucknow Municipal
Corporation
 Ensures that education, health. Transport, basic services and infrastructure is provided
before relocation
b) In situ mode
 Involves redevelopment of whole site to provide more living space and improved
environmental conditions.
c) Slum Up-gradation
 Involves a mixture of provision or upgrading of service and infrastructure levels
incremental housing improvements or selective replacement of kutcha houses.
2. Law and legislation
An appropriate legislation is necessarily to achieve and implement the development strategies
formulated for slum free Lucknow. Legislation forms an important role for government to assign property
rights, provide basic services and achieve the holistic mission of RAY. Hence, suitable implementation
and customized legislation form an integral part of slum rehabilitation strategy.
3. Stakeholder/community participation
It has been proved by several previous schemes for slum development that community stakeholder
participation is a key aspect in implementing rehabilitation strategy to achieve slum free Lucknow.
Community participation calls for a strong and active participatory chain which would be involved
throughout the implementation of RAY starting from surveys unit project implementation and monitoring.
This particular strategy would actually make the slum dwellers realize the motive behind the programme
as an opportunity to raise their standard of living, achieve higher dignity and provide better facilities for
present as well as future families.
4. Financial framework
RAY has posed a significant challenge to the state, ULB and beneficiaries by announcing its 50%
contribution towards the project. This calls for development of exclusive financial development strategy
to meet the remaining 50% finances through various sources and mechanism.
5. Institutional mechanism
RAY is a challenging task right from policy making with project implementation and Monitoring. The
roles vary from Center State, ULB, slum clearance boards, RAY technical cell, NGOS and other
associated agencies. The city should be able to actively involve the various agencies with various tasks
as the programme advances yearly. There has to be hiring done at necessary levels/positions to
complete coordination cycle.
RAY has adopted a detail procedure to make the Lucknow city slum free through various steps as detailed out
further:
Step 1: Establishment of a slum free technical cell at state nodal agency level
Step 2: Preparation of city and slum profiles
Step 3A: Socio Economic Survey in slum areas
Step 3B: Preparation of GIS based maps
Step 4: MIS &Data Entry
Step 5: Ground Mapping
Step 6: Verification and validation by independent agency on socio economic, spatial data and base
maps on a random basis
Step 7: MIS includes integration of slum MIS with GIS Maps
Step 8: Data analysis and decision for Slum Redevelopment Plan
Step 9: Micro level planning and organized workshops
Step 10: Prioritization and phasing of plans

Lucknow Municipal
Corporation
Step 11: ULB approval of slum rehabilitation plans

Step 12: Preparation of slum free city plan and DPR
Step 13: Obtaining approval from ULB and other concerned authorities
Step 14: Obtaining approval of SLSC/SLNA/MoHUPA
Step 15 & 16: Tendering process, implementation of proposal
Step 17: Impact assessment
Step 18: Revision and rectification of the strategies and reforms
7.15.2 Slum Rehabilitation Framework
RAY has prepared housing conditions, infrastructure deficiency and tenure insecurity matrix for all the slum
settlements based on scoring and ranking method. The matrix is based on three key parameters i.e. housing,
infrastructure and tenure. Housing and infrastructure are the physical parameters and directly related to existing
condition, while land tenure defines the legal status of the land ownership. Based on the deficiency matrix gaps
in the housing and infrastructure, demand has been calculated.
7.15.3 Investment Requirement
Under the RAY report investment requirement for providing all the housing and infrastructure requirement have
been provided for the period of five years from 2012-2017.
Housing
Based on the mode of development, the slums in view of housing condition and physical location have been
categorized accordingly. Investment required for housing stock is provided in Table 7-18.

8.1 INTRODUCTION
The sustainability and quality of life in any urban centre is closely linked to the quantity and quality of basic
infrastructure facilities that support it. This chapter incorporates the existing status of services and physical
Infrastructure in Lucknow with sectoral assessment and proposals.
The major sectors covered under this chapter include the following:
A. Water supply
B. Sewerage
C. Solid Waste Management
D. Storm Water Drainage
E. Traffic and Transportation
F. Street Lighting
G. Fire Fighting
8.2 WATER SUPPLY

8.2.1 History of water supply system in Lucknow
After the formation of Municipal Board in the year 1884, piped water supply was introduced in 1892. Earlier the
system was proposed for the population of 2 lakhs only. The major source of water supply is River Gomti and the
first raw water pumping station was constructed at Gaughat on the right side of the river and the treatment plant
was established at Aish Bagh (the oldest treatment plant in Lucknow). After the treatment at Aishbagh water
works plant, the filtered water pumped to the City for distribution through a network of cast iron mains.
Subsequently in the first half of the 20th Century the old steam engine device pumps were replaced with
electricity driven system.
8.2.2 Sources of water supply
8.2.2.1 Surface water
Gomti River is the major surface water source for water supply in Lucknow city. Another major source is Sharda
Sahayak Feeder Canal taken out from River Ghagra. Two water works namely Aish Bagh and Bala Ganj are
available to treat the water from Gomti River. Recently a new water work plant Gomti WW III in Gomti Nagar has
been established to treat the water from Sharda Sahayak Feeder Canal. Total water capacity of the WWs from
surface water source is 545 MLD however the actual water production from these plants is 475 MLD.
8.2.2.2 Ground water
Ground water equally contributes to the water supply in Lucknow city with approximate 400 MLD of water.
District B and D are totally dependent on ground water source. As per the study conducted by UP state ground
water board due to excessive extraction and decreasing soft surface, average water table drop is 0.52 m every
year. Some of the areas under District C have witnessed more than usual water drop in the table which is 1.46m
per year. As per the information available from Jal Kal (LMC) department there are total of 605 tube wells in
Lucknow city out of which 603 are in working condition. Apart from these tube wells, there are 65 mini tube wells
available in the city. In slum areas also ground water is the major source of water supply. Average yield of a tube

Lucknow Municipal
Corporation
well is 0.7 MLD. After coming up of new projects use of ground water is decreasing year on year. Zone wise
number of tube wells and mini tube wells are provided in Table 8-1.

8.2.3 Water supply distribution districts

A major reorganization of the water supply system was taken up around 1957 where the whole town was divided
into 11 zones including cantonment. During the 80s and 90s decade the city has grown tremendously in terms of
municipal limits and population resulting in mismanagement of water works and acute shortage of water supply in
various areas of the city. For proper and equitable distribution of the water supply, Lucknow city was divided into
five water districts in the Master Plan for Water Supply for Lucknow City in the year 1976. The districts were
further sub divide into 32 zones. Water service districts are (A) City Service District, (B) North Service District, (C)
East Service District (D) South Service District and (E) Cantonment. Table 8-3 presents the summary of water
supply districts, their sub division and source of water in each of the district.

8.2.4.1 Treatment
The water extracted from the surface is treated in the Water Treatment Plants (WTPs). At treatment plant, the
raw water is made potable up to the standards of safe drinking water by pre-chlorination, primary treatment and
filtration. Quality control is assured through laboratory testing at the WTPs. Surface water treatment in Lucknow
is done in three water works namely Aishbagh, Balaganj and Gomti Nagar. Ground water extracted from tube
wells is treated through chlorination process by putting the bleaching powder in the tank near tube well. A brief
description of the water works is given further.
Aish Bagh Water Works: This is the oldest and first water work established in the year 1892 in Lucknow located
at Aishbagh, District A. Water is lifted from Gaughat on the right side of the river. This WTP serves major area of
District A with actual treatment capacity of 265 MLD. Five pumping stations located in various parts of the district
are fed by this WTP. There are three sedimentation tanks with total capacity of 375 ML in this water works.
Balaganj Water Works: The second WTP was commissioned in the year 1994 with actual treatment capacity of
200 MLD. It serves water demand in some of the areas of District A. Water is lifted from Gaughat on the right
side of River Gomti. Five pumping stations located in various parts of the district are fed by this WTP. There are
two sedimentation tanks with total capacity of 96 ML in this water works.
Gomti Water Works: The third water work is located in Gomti Nagar which serves the water demand in District
C. This is a newly constructed WTP on Sharda Sahayak Feeder Canal. Total capacity of the plant is 80 MLD.
Prior to construction of Gomti Water Works, ground water was the major source of water supply in District C,
however, after its implementation the use of ground water has decreased in recent times. Instead of
sedimentation tanks two clariflocculator are established here with total capacity of 40 ML each.

The table also indicates that all the 3 treatment plants have adequate capacity required for the population that is
being served by each of the treatment plants in each of the respective districts, considering average water supply
of 150 lpcd. Hence, in the existing scenario there is no need of enhancing the water treatment Capacity of any of
these 3 treatment plants.

8.2.4.2 Storage
After the treatment of water at WTPs, water is stored in main reservoirs located at the treatment plants. From the
main reservoirs water is transported to zonal clear water reservoirs/zonal reservoirs and finally to overhead tanks
located in various parts of the city. Presently there are 103 over head tanks with total capacity of 102 million
litres. Apart, there are 24 clear water reservoirs/underground water reservoirs with total capacity of 67 million
litres. More than 60% of the water is stored in OHTs which is on higher side as per normative standard of 33% of
total water supply and rest 40% of the water is supplied via reservoirs directly. OHTs receive water from both
reservoirs and tube wells.

8.2.4.3 Transmission and Distribution

The transmission and distribution in Lucknow city consist of PVC pipelines. Total water pipelines length in
Lucknow is 2748 km with varied diameter of 80 mm to 1300 mm. 90% of the city is covered with piped water
supply network. Table 8-5 presents the zone wise length of water pipe lines in Lucknow city.

8.2.5.1 Coverage & Existing Situation

As per the projected population data for the year 2014 total water demand for Lucknow city is 610 MLD with 150
lpcd and 15% UFW. Actual water production in the city is 613 MLD which is equal to the actual demand hence in
the existing situation there is no gap with respect to water supply. Approximately 60% of the city population is
using surface water whereas rest of the 40% population use ground water source. Out of 110 wards 41 wards
are served by ground water supply and rest 69 wards are served with both surface as well as ground water.
Figure 8-3 shows the ward wise source of water distribution (ground and surface).
8.2.5.2 Per capita water supply and frequency of water supply
Before the implementation of the JNNURM schemes per capita water supply in Lucknow was 114 lpcd which
increased to on an average 150 lpcd (as per current water production) excluding 30% of UFW which is on higher
side than the normative standard of 135 lpcd. However, actual per capita water distribution is inequitable among
various wards which ranges between 100 and 200 lpcd. Due to various Transmission & Distribution (T&D)
issues, leakages, theft etc. actual per capita supply reduces in many of the parts. On an average city receives 2
to 3 hours (divided into morning and evening hours) of water supply in whole of the day. There are various areas
in Lucknow which receives only ½ an hour of water supply in whole day.

8.2.5.3 Water connection and Non-Revenue water

As per the information received from Jal Kal Department (LMC), Lucknow; total number of water connections in
city are 3,15,473. Out of which 3,05,309 are HH connections, almost 62% of the total HHs in the city. At present
there is no metering system in Lucknow city which results into unaccounted use of water and heavy wastage at
consumer end. Category wise numbers of connections are given in Table 8-7.

8.2.5.4 Water charges

Water charges for Domestic use were introduced from 1994. These user charges were linked with the Property
and according to the property type water tax is collected. In the current scenario, 12.5% of the Annual Rental
Value (ARV) is collected as water charges. The charges vary as per the building type and size of the plot.
8.2.6 Service Level Benchmarks
The Government of India has made it compulsory for all the towns receiving grants from it, to study and declare
where they stand in the prescribed benchmarks for the services. The different service level benchmarks for the
water supply service and the status of the city of Lucknow as studied in 2012-13 by the Municipal Corporation
are discussed below.

Lucknow City Status Service Level Benchmarks
 With respect to the service level benchmark, the description of overall service provision under water
supply are discussed on the basis of each bench mark. In terms of coverage about 62% of the
households have access to the piped water supply system through taps. The areas which are not
covered are the newly developing fringe areas, undeclared slums and far-flung areas.
 The per capita, average water supply in the city is as high as 150 LPCD against the standard of 135
LPCD.
 There is lack of meter system for HH connections.
 Figure above indicates that the transmission losses and UFW account for 30% of the total water supply
against the standard of 20% and resulting in low water pressure. Old and defunct water supply network
along with illegal connections are responsible for transmission losses and NRW.
 Water supply is intermittent; typically, water is supplied twice a day. The duration varies from 2 to 3
hours, both in the morning and evening.
 Efficiency of collection of water charges is 84% against the benchmark of 90%. Water tax is based on
Annual Rental Value (ARV).
 Cost recovery is 64% which is below the prescribed norm. For better annual operating revenue
recovery, water supply rate needs to be equitable and metering system need to be implemented at the
earliest.
 In case of other performance indicators with respect to the service level bench marks LMC water supply
services are up to the mark viz. quality of water which is 100% and complaint redressal is 88% as
against the standard of 80%.

8.2.7 Organisation involve for water supply system in Lucknow

There are two major organisations responsible for water supply establishment and maintenance in Lucknow
namely Jal Nigam and Jal Kal (LMC) (earlier known as Jal Sansthan). Jal Nigam is the responsible body for all
the implementation and execution works related to water works in city area. After the execution of the water
related works, Jal Nigam handover the works to Jal Kal for distribution, operation and maintenance purposes.
Apart from these two organisations LDA, UPAVP and Private developers are responsible for executing works
related to water pipelines in the townships and colonies/areas developed by them.

8.2.10 Issues in the current system
As per the secondary data analysis and consultation with various stakeholders SENES has observed various
issues pertaining to water supply system in Lucknow city. The identified issues and loopholes need to be
addressed by Jal Nigam and Jal Kal (LMC) to overcome the situation and reach the standards required to make
the water supply system sustainable.
 Heavy water losses: As per the data available from Lucknow Jal Kal and Jal Nigam T&D losses in
Lucknow are very high due to leakages in the current pipelines in old Lucknow area, water theft through
illegal connections etc. Currently UFW in Lucknow is 30%.
 No Metering in current system: Currently, there is no metering system in Lucknow city resulting into
unaccounted use of water and huge wastage by consumers. This has an adverse implication of low
revenue collection for the water supply department.
 Depleting ground water: In present situation approximately 40% of the population in Lucknow city use
ground water (tube wells, hand pumps, mini tube wells etc.). This phenomena result into depleting ground
water table year on year. As per the data available from State Ground Water Board every year the water
table in Lucknow is decreasing between 0.5 and 1 m. Ground water is used not only by domestic users, but
also found in industrial areas.
 Frequency of water supply: Water supply duration in Lucknow city is only 2-3 hours a day distributed
between morning and evening. Less duration of water supply results in to dissatisfaction by the consumer.
 Low water pressure at various places: Issue of low pressure has been observed at many places in
Lucknow city and many complaints have been registered for this. The reason of low pressure is broken
pipelines at various places.
 No rain water harvesting: No rain water harvesting activities are taking place in Lucknow city. It is
mandatory for the new developed colonies to incorporate water harvesting technology however due to
ignorance and lack of information it has not been incorporated so far.
 Poor quality of water at certain places: Due to leakage and broken pipe lines, the intrusion of polluted
water has been observed at many places. This results into degraded water quality supply to consumer end.
 Low quality water pipelines: Quality of water pipe lines in Lucknow city is very low grade. PVC pipes are
used for whole of the system. Due to low quality of pipe line, leakage and breakage of the pipes is common
issue in Lucknow.
 Dilapidated pipelines: Water pipelines system in old Lucknow area is many decades old and many of the
lines are in dilapidated condition and need immediate replacement.
 No mapping for pipelines: There is no proper map available for water pipe lines system in Lucknow.
There is no information available to know the exact age of the water pipe lines. In the absence of these kind
of information it becomes impossible to find out the exact demand for replacement of pipelines.

8.2.12 Water supply infrastructure demand and gap

Actual Water Quantity Demand: Water demand is normally classified as domestic water demand and non-
domestic water demand. Domestic water demand covers the use of water for drinking, washing, bathing, flushing
etc. Nondomestic water demand includes the water demand for industries and other uses. Water demand is
necessarily assessed for 100% satisfaction of the consumers. Although in existing scenario and up till 2015,
adequate water supply is there conforming to the CPHEEO standards, but to cater the target year population,
augmentation of entire water supply system is required. In case of Lucknow water demand has been calculated
on the basis of CPHEEO Manual at the following rates;
 Net Domestic Supply at consumer‟s end = 150 LPCD
 Provision for Non-Domestic supply = 30 LPCD
 Losses in the system at 15% = 27 LPCD
 Total gross Supply = 207 LPCD (considered lpcd for project calculation – 210 lpcd)
Table 8-13 presents the demand gap assessment for various components of water supply for the next 25 years
in three phases i.e. 2020, 2030 and 2040. Demand gap assessment is based on the various standards and
manuals available for water supply infrastructure in urban areas. Total water demand for the phases 2020, 2030
and 2040 is 746 MLD, 855 MLD and 1281 MLD respectively.

8.2.13 Key factor to frame Lucknow’s water supply system

The assessment of water supply scenario at Lucknow has highlighted that there is an urgent need to improve the
water supply situation in order to adequately meet the existing and future demand. The current level of per capita
water supply is at 150 lpcd however actual supply to consumer end is far below the actual production due to
faulty transmission and distribution system. In order to improve the water supply situation in LMC within a specific
plan period, the consultant has arrived at a core strategy which needs to be adopted and also the list of projects
which would have to be taken up such that existing and future requirement for water is adequately met.
 Central Government Water Policy
o Rivers and other water bodies should be considered for development for navigation as far as possible
and all multipurpose projects over water bodies should keep navigation in mind right from the planning
stage.
o There is a need to map the aquifers to know the quantum and quality of ground water resources
(replenishable as well as non-replenishable) in the country. This process should be fully participatory
involving local communities. This may be periodically updated.
o Recycle and reuse of water, including return flows, should be the general norm.
o In order to meet equity, efficiency and economic principles, the water charges should preferably / as a
rule be determined on volumetric basis. Such charges should be reviewed periodically.
o Encroachments and diversion of water bodies (like rivers, lakes, tanks, ponds, etc.) and drainage
channels (irrigated area as well as urban area drainage) must not be allowed, and wherever it has taken
place, it should be restored to the extent feasible and maintained properly.
o Urban domestic water supply should preferably be from surface water in conjunction with groundwater
and rainwater. Also, reuse of urban water effluents from kitchens and bathrooms, after primary
treatment, in flush toilets should be encouraged, ensuring no human contact.
o Urban water supply and sewage treatment schemes should be integrated and executed simultaneously.
Water supply bills should include sewerage charges.
 Integrated Policy on Ground Water Management, Rain Water Harvesting and Ground Water
Recharge in Uttar Pradesh: Key interventions as mentioned by the policy are given further
o Optimum utilisation and managed extraction of ground water in urban areas:
 Reduce the 40% of leakages in urban water supply system to save the ground water and its
extraction.
 Ground water extraction should be based on calculation of actual water quantity required for
potable water. It is also known as need based demand.
 Existing aquifers should be closed and replaced by alternate aquifers to make the ground water
extraction sustainable.
 To reduce the pressure of ground water depletion in core urban areas, tube wells should be
installed in peri urban areas where potential aquifers are available.
 Dependency on ground water should be reduced for potable water demand and should be shifted
to surface water source.
 Regular ground water audit should be conducted to monitor the water extraction.
o Rain water harvesting and ground water conservation:
 Preparation of ground water recharge plan.

Lucknow Municipal
Corporation
 Framing of new guidelines for ground water recharge based on hydrological parameters by ground
water board and Housing and Urban Planning Department.
 Implementation of combined recharge system by Housing and Urban Planning Department on
priority basis.
 For rain water harvesting through roofs, areas requirement should be reduced to 200 sq. m form
300 sq. m.
 To conserve the annual extra rain water runoff, Housing and Urban Planning Department should
calculate the actual amount and take initiative to conserve it.
 It should be ensured that polluted water do not reach the ground water sources.
 Preservation of old ponds and construction of new ponds should be ensured during the new
development schemes.
 Rain water harvesting on government and semi government buildings should be strictly followed.
 Techniques of ground water recharge in urban areas:
 Roof top rain water harvesting: Recharge Pit, Recharge Trench, Recharge Well, Recharge
Shaft, Dug well, Pond, Tank
 Pavement - Storm water harvesting
Rain Water Harvesting

8.2.14 Core Strategy
The gaps which have been identified in the provision of water supply service by LMC have been arrived at after
consideration of the existing demand requirements and also for the demand scenario in the year 2020, 2030 and
2040. Unlike the approach followed for sectors such as roads and SWM in the case of water supply the planning
for augmentation for water supply requirements would have to consider the demand arising in 2040 and make
necessary provisions for the same by 2020. The systems and infrastructure would therefore have to be designed
such that the long term needs are addressed and planned by 2020. The broad strategy therefore has been
prepared to identify the projects addressing the future demand which LMC would have to take up in the short run
for which necessary investments will also have to be planned for. In addition to the improvements to be made to
the infrastructural requirements, the stakeholders have also recommended increasing the municipal manpower
dealing exclusively with the water supply.

8.2.17 Details of Sub Projects

The Integrated Water Supply Scheme which would be commissioned would have to make provisions for the
following sub components:
Source Augmentation: In existing situation Gomti River and Sharda Sahayak Feeder Canal are the source of
surface water in Lucknow. 60% of the water is currently supplied through surface water source and source
augmentation is required to make it 100% in the coming 25 years. Mentioned surface water sources would be
utilised for fulfilling the water demand for the next 25 years. Irrigation department needs to ensure the water
supply through these sources. For water augmentation purpose, 100 cusec water from Gomti River for IV Water
Works (WW) has been proposed. Recently, 100 cusec more water from Sharda Sahayak Feeder Canal has also
been proposed. Total water requirement till the year 2020 would be 745 MLD and till the 2040 1281 MLD.
Water Treatment Facility: Water treatment plants for enhanced water supply would be required for the coming
years. For 579 MLD of water treatment plants would be required till the year 2040 in a phase wise manner. As
discussed with Jal Nigam locations of proposed treatment plants have already been identified in Lucknow Master
Plan. Proposed WTP will be located in Ghailla, Alambagh and Indira Nagar. Treatment capacity of existing
WTP at Gomti Nagar will be increased to another 80 MLD in the coming years.

Lucknow Municipal
Corporation
Internal Distribution Network: At present, city has about 2800 km of distribution of network, as per the desired
standards this needs to be increased to 4,791 km by 2040. There is need to construct about 270 km of
distribution network till 2020. Out of the existing network, about 40% needs replacement. These renovation
activities would have to be carried on in tandem with the other sub-projects under water supply. Approx. 1,099
km of water pipelines need to be replaced in the first phase.
Elevated Storage Capacity and Clear Water Reservoir: In the current situation Lucknow has sufficient storage
capacity however with increasing water supply more OHT and CWR need to be constructed. For 279 ML of
water, overhead tank (OHT) and clear water reservoir (CWR) are required. In addition, more than 50 years old
OHTs need to be renovated in the first phase.
Installation of water meters: At present there are approx. 3 lakh water supply connections, all of which are non-
metered. The water supply improvement scheme would have to make provisions for metering of the all the
connection in all the existing and future connection. However, it is suggested that the same to be taken up by
year 2020.
Energy efficiency in water supply system: Currently operation and maintenance of water supply system is one
of the main expenditure head for the ULB. Hence energy efficiency measures can be taken up to reduce the
operative expenses.
ENERGY EFFICIENCY IN WATER SUPPLY

Municipal water consumes significant amount of electricity. These areas also lack control leading to
losses by inefficient planning and management.
Reasons for high energy consumption in water supply are faulty design system causing excessive
pumping requirement, wrong equipment selection leading to higher energy expenses, pump
operations (ON/OFF during pumping requirement) has been found faulty, causing higher energy
requirements, high maintenance requirement and motor damage due to „Dry Run‟ condition
Following measures can be taken for reducing energy consumption in water supply
 Demand side management by identifying period of peak and lean demand, vis-à-vis altering
supplies;
 Regulating demand by awareness and water pricing;
 Efficient design system considering site topography allowing maximum flow through gravity;
 Retrofit and technology up gradation;
 Applying timer systems to pumping units reducing human involvement for pump, On/OFF
management;
 Timely maintenance; and
 Renewable energy resource usage
Rain Water Harvesting: Rain water harvesting is the preservation of rain water from catchment surface in
wells/tanks/aquifers for groundwater recharging usage.
Recharging of Ground Water:
Artificial recharge to ground water is a process by which the ground water reservoir is augmented at a rate
exceeding than under natural conditions or replenishment.
Two main benefits of rain water harvesting are-
 Storage of rainwater on surface for future use.
 Recharge to ground water.
Lucknow Municipal
Corporation
Need of Rain water harvesting

 Surface water is limited and rapid depletion of ground water
 Intensive urbanization, hard pavement and dedicated storm water drainage system leads high surface
runoff to bigger drains and rivers and also obstructing natural seepage and infiltration of rain water to
ground water.
Rain water can be stored by using traditional techniques and structures like underground tanks, ponds, check
dams, weirs etc.
Recharge of ground water is a new concept of rain water harvesting and the structures generally used
are:-
1. Pits: Recharge pits are constructed for recharging the shallow aquifer. These are constructed 1 to 2 m,
wide and to 3 m. deep which are back filled with boulders, gravels, coarse sand.
2. Trenches: These are constructed when the permeable stream is available at shallow depth. Trench
may be 0.5 to 1 m. wide, 1 to 1.5m. deep and 10 to 20 m. long depending up availability of water. These
are back filled with filter.
3. Dug wells: Existing dug wells may be utilised as recharge structure and water should pass through filter
media before putting into dug well.
4. Hand pumps: The existing hand pumps may be used for recharging the shallow/deep aquifers, if the
availability of water is limited. Water should pass through filter media before diverting it into hand
pumps.
5. Recharge wells: Recharge wells of 100 to 300 mm. diameter are generally constructed for recharging
the deeper aquifers and water is passed through filter media to avoid choking of recharge wells.
6. Recharge Shafts: For recharging the shallow aquifer which is located below clayey surface, recharge
shafts of 0.5 to 3 m. diameter and 10 to 15 m. deep are constructed and back filled with boulders,
gravels & coarse sand.
7. Lateral shafts with bore wells: For recharging the upper as well as deeper aquifers lateral shafts of
1.5 to 2 m. wide & 10 to 30 m. long depending upon availability of water with one or two bore wells are
constructed. The lateral shafts are back filled with boulders, gravels & coarse sand.
8. Spreading techniques: When permeable strata start from top then this technique is used. Spread the
water in streams/Nalas by making check dams, nala bunds, cement plugs, gabion structures or a
percolation pond may be constructed.

8.3 SEWERAGE AND SANITATION

Sanitation has become a yardstick of socio–cultural development of a city. As a result of rapidly expanding
populations, haphazard development, urban Sprawl, and inadequate or poorly designed and malfunctioning
sewage treatment facilities, in urban areas untreated sewage is often discharged into rivers. This practice has
serious repercussions to human health, river aquatic system, ecosystem and the already fragile economies.
Consequently, there is an urgent need to increase wastewater treatment in the urban areas, which is presently
far below the required levels. Improved sanitation results in improvement of health, reduction in child
mortality/morbidity, improved water quality, environment and economic growth of a city.

8.3.1 History of sewerage system in Lucknow

The sewerage system in Lucknow town was first provided in 1918 and has been augmented from time to time. In
1948-49 a Comprehensive Drainage Scheme for Lucknow was prepared to cater to a population of 7 lakhs, of
which 6 lakhs were expected to reside in the Cis-Gomti side and 1 lakh in the Trans-Gomti side. The plan
included construction of branch and trunk sewers, pumping stations, rising mains and a sewage farm for disposal
of sewage on land for farming. The works under this scheme were completed in 1955. In 1960-61, during a
heavy flood in the River Gomti, considerable damage occurred to the sewerage system. In 1960s and 1970s as
part of the Flood Protection Scheme, the construction of a pumping station behind the flood protection
embankment rectified the damage caused to the sewerage system. In 1987-88 another Sewerage Master Plan
was prepared. However, there have been no major works since the 1948 Master Plan, although a detailed Urban
Environmental Services Master Plan Lucknow (1996-2021) was prepared in the 1990s to deal with improving the
sewerage and sanitation situation in the City.
8.3.2 Sewerage Zones and Existing Situation
The overall sewerage system consists of 4 separate Sewerage Districts further divided into zones, each with its
own pumping station or trunk sewer. Zones are further divided into several sewer sub-catchment areas. Sewer
sub-catchment boundaries have been determined primarily on the basis of topographical features, existing sewer
network and site investigations.

FIGURE 8-7: SEWERAGE DISTRICTS OF LUCKNOW

Lucknow Municipal
Corporation
Sewerage district I: This District is situated on the east side of Lucknow City and has one sewage treatment
plant (STP) located at Daulatganj, Gaughat area with capacity of 56 MLD (42 MLD under GoAP + 14 MLD under
JNNURM) based on biological process called “Fluidised Aerobic Bio-reactor (FAB) Treatment Process”. Total
population of the district is 2.81 lacs with waste water generation of 49 MLD. The district is self-sufficient in terms
of treatment capacity.
Sewerage district II: This district is on the south side from Sharda Canal sub divided into Zone I, Zone II and
Zone III. Some areas have existing sewer networks developed by the Lucknow Development Authority (LDA)
however rest of the area is not covered with sewer pipe lines. Area covered with sewer lines discharge sewage
into existing 345 MLD STP located at Bharwara constructed under GoAP Phase II. Area not covered with sewer
lines conveyed their sewage into open drains. Total population of this district is 3.67 lakhs and generating 64
MLD of waste water. A large part of this is occupied by low density peri-urban settlement and urbanization rate is
increasing here. Some pockets of this area has sewer lines, however, they are not laid as per the norm and
standards resulting in improper disposal of sewage.. Septic tanks and soak pits are also being used by many of
the HHs. There is a proposal of 63 MLD STP at Bijnaur to serve this district in the future.
Sewerage district III: This district is on the left bank of the Gomti River which is called Trans-side. The Kukrail
Nala is the largest nala on the Trans Gomti side which divide the sewerage district into two parts. Right portion is
known as Part I and left portion as Part II. Both the parts are independent to facilitate the sewerage system. Total
population of District III is 10.35 lakhs with waste water generation of 180 MLD which is being treated at
Bahrwara STP with total capacity of 345 MLD.
Sewerage district III Part I: The localities in this part of District III include Daliganj, Aliganj, Nirala Nagar,
Nishant Ganj, Khurram Nagar, Vikas Nagar, Jankipuram etc. almost 70% of the population of District III reside
here. The localities developed by LDA and UPAVP have sewerage system but the disposal of this sewage is
done through open drains. Some of the newly development areas are without sewerage system.
Sewerage district III Part II: This part is located in left bank side of the Kukrail Nala. Colonies developed by LDA
and UPAVP have got sewerage lines. All the sewage collected from these areas is discharged into Kukrail Nala /
Gomti River.
At present the area has no sewage treatment plant; however, under the GoAP (Gomti Action Plan), one STP at
Kakraha has been sanctioned by NRCD.
Sewerage district IV: This district is on the right bank side of Gomti River called Cis-Side and includes the old
city core with an old sewerage network subdivided into five zones (zone 1, 2, 3a, 3b, 5 & 5). The main interceptor
sewer named as Cis Gomti Trunk Sewer runs parallel to the river along the west to east axis leading to Cis Gomti
Pumping Station (CG Pumping Station) near Nishatganj Bridge from where it is diverted to Bharwara STP. It
receives city sewage through lateral collector sewers. At present the system is defunct and the sewage farm also
has become nonexistent. At present this district has no sewage treatment plant. Under GoAP, the sewage from
this district is proposed to be conveyed to the sanctioned sewage treatment plant at Mastemau with total capacity
of 270 MLD.
8.3.3 Sewerage network
Sewerage system in Lucknow was laid down since the year 1918 and recently sewer lines have been laid down
under JnNURM. At present total length of the sewer pipeline is 1174 km in district I and III. Some of the parts of
district II and IV are also covered with sewer lines. Only 45% of the city area is equipped with sewage network.

8.3.4 Sewage generation

The major source of sewage is from domestic, commercial, industrial and institutional areas within the city. As
per the current population demand, Jal Nigam supplies 613 MLD of water. As per the norms, 80% of the water
supply is considered as waste water hence total sewage generation in Lucknow comes to be 490 MLD.
8.3.5 Sewage treatment (SPS, MPS & STP)
Sewerage Pumping Stations: There are three levels of sewerage pumping stations in Lucknow. First there are
zonal pumping stations (ZPS) where sewage from branch lines is discharged and first level of screening is done.
There are 14 zonal pumping stations located at different zones of the city operated by Jal Kal department of
LMC. Summary of ZPSs is provided in the table below.
TABLE 8-17: SUMMARY OF ZPS IN LUCKNOW
Zone Number Number of ZPS Location of ZPS
Zone 1 4 Laxman Mela, Butler Palace, Khayali ganj and Dali Bagh
Zone 2 1 Gaughat
Zone 3 3 Jankipuram, Nishatganj, Mahanagar
Zone 4 1 Kukrail
Zone 5 4 Sector M, Sector N,
Zone 6 1 Rajajipuram
From ZPSs sewage is discharged into major drains, flowing through the various parts of the city. Sewage
pumping stations are located on these drains to do second level of screening of solid waste and silt. There are 26
major drains in Lucknow (details are provided in storm water drainage section); sewage from four drains is
directly sent to Daulatganj STP. Sewage from rest of the 22 drains is tapped at various SPS and sent to Main
Pumping Station (MPS) located at Gawari. From MPS sewage is diverted to Bharwara STP. All the SPS and
MPS are maintained by Jal Nigam.

8.3.7.2 Public toilets

Public toilets are operated and maintained by Sulabh
International, Non-Conventional Energy Development
Agency (NEDA), DUDA and LMC. The city has
approximately 207 toilets having 2,656 seats located
across the city. 72% of the toilets are under Sulabh
International. Though the public toilets are spread across
the city, they are not evenly distributed across the zones.
As mentioned in the City Sanitation Plan for Lucknow,
approximately 11% of the households do not have access
to individual toilets; this covers a population of
approximately 3,20,197 people across the six zones.
Considering the present number of seats available in the
city, the average numbers of people per seat are at 144,
Picture 8-13: Community Toilet in Lucknow
which is too low when compared with the standard of 60
users per seat. It was also observed that only 50% to 55% of the population is without access to individual toilets
uses public toilets.

8.3.7.3 Open defecation

Non-Slum area: As indicated in the CSP report, about 7% to 10% of the population resorts to open defecation.
The incidence is reported to be the highest in Zone 3 (8% to 10%) and Zone 5 (13% to 15%). In case of pucca
households, the incidence of open defecation is around 5% to 7%, whereas in case of slum households, it
ranges from 12% to 15%.
Slum area: Open defecation in slum areas is predominant in Zone 4 (35%–39% of slum households) and Zone 5
(12%–15% of pucka households). It was observed that factors such as absence of a public toilet, poor
maintenance, lack of seats, large distance of public toilets from home, and existing habits and attitude of the
residents were largely responsible for open defecation.

8.3.8 Service level benchmarking

As per service level benchmark, coverage of sewer network is approximately 45% which is far below than the
satisfactory level, and in addition the collection efficiency of sewerage is 96% (of the 45% of city area with sewer
system availability) against the benchmark of 100%. Treatment capacity adequacy is 84% which is not
satisfactory, at many places sewage is discharged into river and natural drains resulting in water pollution.
Currently there is no practice of recycling and reuse of waste water in Lucknow city. The efficiency in complaints
redressal is almost 92%, which is above the SLB standard. Revenue collection efficiency of LMC is 82% which is
close to the normative standard of 90%. The cost recovery in wastewater management is falling short of the SLB
standards. The cost recovery is only 53%, whereas the expected level is 100%.

8.3.10.1 Gomti Action Plan (Completed)
Waste water from 26 major drains was being discharged into Gomti River which used to pollute the river water.
Cis Gomti side there are 12 drains in the upstream and 2 drains in downstream which discharge 164 MLD and
107 MLD of waste water respectively. In trans-Gomti side all the 12 drains are in upstream and the total
sewerage discharge is 85 MLD. Hence total of 356 MLD of sewage gets discharge into the river. Arrangements

 Sewer line coverage is less: As per the information available from Jal Nigam, sewerage coverage in
Lucknow city is only 45% of the developed area, which leads to discharge of sewage in open drains and
river. This phenomena result into high level of pollution in natural drains and Gomti River.
 Sewerage lines not as per norms: As discussed with the officials, in new developed colonies the
sewer lines are not laid as per the desired norms and standards.
 Mixing of storm water and sewage: Due to absence of proper sewerage system in many areas, the
sewage is discharge into storm water drains results into mixing of sewage and rain water.
 Defunct sewerage system in old Lucknow area: The sewerage system laid down in old city area is
almost a century old hence most of the lines are broken and have become defunct. As a consequence
of it sewage is flowing in the open area and leads to various kind of pollutions such as soil pollution,
water pollution, ground water pollution etc.
 Low cost recovery percentage: Cost recovery of sewerage charges is very less in Lucknow city i.e.
53% against the desired standard of 100%. Low cost recovery leads to non-maintenance of the existing
system.
 No reuse and recycling of waste water: At present there is no reuse and recycling of waste water is
being done in Lucknow city.
 Poor condition of public toilets: As surveyed and observed by SENES, condition of public toilets and
urinals is very poor in terms of hygiene and cleanliness. As a result, in the absence of individual toilets
people are not willing to use community toilets and defecate in open area. Another issue with public
toilets is they are not located within approachable limit from the houses.

Table 8-28 presents the demand gap assessment for sewerage and sanitation services in Lucknow till the year
2040. As per the estimation, sewage generation in Lucknow for the phases 2020, 2030 and 2040 will be 596,
648 and 1025 MLD respectively. As per the information available public convenience seats availability in
Lucknow is 144 people per seat however as per the standard it should be 60 people per seat for city population
and 100 user per seat for floating population. Almost 40,000 of the people defecate in open area for whom 1,696
seats are required.

8.3.14 Key factor to Improve Lucknow’s sewerage and sanitation system

At present only 45% of the LMC area has sewerage system. Most of the sewage generated in the city is flowing
through the storm water drains. On the basis of demand–gap assessment of the sewerage network and the
consultation process with the ULB officials and the stakeholders, the need for developing a sewerage network in
the town is evident.
 Uttar Pradesh Sanitation Policy:
o Generating awareness among public for sanitation and its linkages with human and environmental
health.
o Open defecation free city.
o Strengthen institutional setup.
o Extending access to proper sanitation for poor community and other unserved settlements.
o 100% safe disposal of human excreta and liquid waste.
o Functioning of sewerage network and ensuring connections to households.
o Promoting recycle and reuse of treated water.
o Promote proper disposal and treatment of sludge.
 City Sanitation Plan (CSP):
The chief objectives of CSP were to ensure 100% open-defecation free city and 100% collection and
scientific disposal of solid and liquid wastes generated in the city of Lucknow. Also, the objectives included
instituting processes that allowed for expansion of sanitation services along with the growth of the city;
augmenting the recovery of costs involved in the provision of sanitation services; developing a mechanism
for resource/cost recovery, through recycling and reuse of solid and liquid wastes; and increasing
awareness amongst citizens on hygiene and health concerns in the city of Lucknow.
 To bridge the gap of individual toilets, it has been suggested to promote household individual
toilets wherever space is available through the development of two-pit toilets.
 To provide adequate number of public toilets at lesser cost and space, it has been suggested that
LMC should promote the development of two-storey toilets. Moreover, for places such as fairs,
functions, rallies and temporary markets, LMC can opt for Mobile Toilet Vans (MTV).
 To ensure that public toilets are cleaned regularly and are kept in good condition, it has been
suggested that the operation and maintenance of public toilets should preferably be outsourced on
a PPP basis or through the involvement of Community-Based Organizations (CBO).
 To overcome the challenge of safe disposal of human sludge, especially from narrow streets, it
has been suggested that LMC can opt for Vacutug, a mechanized human sludge collecting,
discharging and emptying machine.
 To ensure that septic tanks and the sewer network are cleaned regularly.
 Encourage the use of de-centralized treatment systems and the re-use of treated waste water for
non-potable purposes.
 Waste Water Recycling:
Waste water has been considered as an important part of the water supply, sewerage and sanitation
planning components. All the central and state level policies and planning documents promote the use of
recycle water in urban areas for horticulture or cleaning purposes. As mentioned in Central Government
Water Policy, Ground Water Policy for UP, City Sanitation Plan for Lucknow. Waste water recycling should
be an integral part of the system.

Lucknow Municipal
Corporation

The lack of a proper and efficient sewerage network in town necessitates development of a sewerage network
which would efficiently manage the existing and future demand. Similar to planning and designing for water
supply network, the planning for development of sewerage network would have to consider the demand arising in
2040 and make necessary provisions for the same by 2020. The systems and infrastructure would therefore
have to be designed such that the long term needs are addressed and planned for by 2020. The broad strategy
therefore has been prepared to identify the projects addressing the future demand which LMC area would have
to take up in the short run for which necessary investments will also have to be planned for.

8.3.18 Details of Sub Projects to be undertaken

Laying of underground sewerage network: The construction of the sewer network shall be done taking into
consideration the factors of existing and future water supply to the city and the population size being catered to.
The capacity of the system has been estimated at 1025 MLD (80% of the future water supply) and the length of
the network has been estimated at 5072 km. Both these capacity and network parameters have taken into
consideration the demand arising in the year 2040. Refurbishment of old sewer lines in old Lucknow area is
required with approximate length of 235 km.
Sewerage Treatment Plant: As an integral part of comprehensive sewerage system, additional sewerage
treatment plants for 624 MLD of waste water need to be constructed in various parts of the city for the safe
disposal of wastewater. This sewerage plant capacity will take into account the demand generated in the year
2040. STP would be located near River Gomti so that the treated water can be discharged into river water.
Proposed STPs would be located at Bijnaur (63 MLD) and Mastemau (270 MLD).
Decentralized waste water treatment system (DEWATS): Considering the facts that 26% of the Lucknow
population live in slums, DEWAT system is being proposed for slum areas.
Development of sewerage network would take a longer time frame and would depend on external factors such as
availability of funds for implementation of cost intensive sewerage and wastewater treatment systems, the
objective of this project component is to address the immediate need of treating the wastewater (black water)
that are discharged into the surface drains and to minimize pollution on the surface water bodies, in the interim
period. Decentralized waste water treatment system (DEWATS) system is cost effective, both in terms of capital
investment and maintenance needs. The system should also be capable of taking variable loads considering the
proposed development of wastewater infrastructure within the town that over the time will reduce the wastewater
load into the drains. These DEWATS would be established in various locations of slums and one module would
treat waste water from approx. 300 HHs. Treatment plant would be set up in the low lying area but above the
flood level so that gravity flow can be maintained. Not only in the slum area, but some of the new developed
colonies can have this system of waste water treatment. Locally treated water can be further utilized for other
purposes such as gardening, road cleaning, washing etc. A short note on the system is provided further.

Lucknow Municipal
Corporation
DECENTRALIZED WASTE WATER TREATMENT SYSTEM (DEWATS) FOR WASTE WATER TREATMENT
Relatively simple wastewater treatment techniques can be designed to provide environmental

protection while providing additional benefits from the reuse of water. These techniques use natural
processes of pollutant removal including sedimentation, bio-filtration, followed by nutrient removal
using aquatic and terrestrial systems. These can be successfully used to treat a variety of
wastewaters and function under a wide range of weather conditions. Terrestrial systems make use of
the nutrients contained in wastewaters. Plant growth and soil adsorption convert biologically available
nutrients into less-available forms of biomass, which can be harvested for a variety of uses. The
advantages of decentralized approach are:
1. Water quality protection of a greater length of waterway
2. Lower Capital and O&M costs of individual treatment units
3. Lower environmental impacts
4. Lower risk of overall system failure
5. Compatibility with a staged approach to implementation
6. Less or no power requirements by adopting units such as bio-filters and constructed
wetlands, etc.
The proposed wastewater treatment facility is divided in three major components.
i. Primary unit, for the removal of grit and large objects by physical separation. The main
elements of this component include screen chamber and grit chamber
ii. Secondary unit, for converting organic components into stable end products through
microbiological process
iii. Tertiary unit, for removal of pathogens and nutrients (especially nitrogen and
phosphorous) through anoxic microbiological process

Community Toilets and Public Convenience Systems: The survey results from City Sanitation Plan revealed
that about 7% to 10% of the population resort to open defecation. Open defecation is commonly seen in slum
regions because of inability to construct toilets due to cost/space constraints, unavailability of public toilets, public
toilets located at far distance, poor maintenance of the public toilets and behavioural issues of the users. 10% of

Lucknow Municipal
Corporation
the existing population is considered to calculate the community toilets requirement. Standard for seat calculation
is 60 users per seat.
In addition, toilets would be required in market places, public places, courts, bus stands, railway stations, and
fairs. Lucknow, being the administrative and commercial capital of the state, attracts a large number of visitors
and floating population. Discussions with officials revealed that the total floating population is approximately 8%
to 10% of the existing population. The number of seats has been estimated at an average of 100 users per seat,
assuming that in some of these establishments (industry, units, commercial complexes), toilets are already
available for the floating population. Therefore, our estimation of the gap in the number of public toilets required
and available is based on the needs of (a) the existing population specifically living in slum areas, which cannot
afford individual toilets, or does not have the space to construct toilets; (b) market and public places; and (c) the
floating population of Lucknow. The following table presents the estimated number of seats/toilets required for
the city of Lucknow.
Parameters Total
Existing numbers of seats 2,656
Existing population dependent on public toilets 77,281
Floating population that requires public toilets 3,06,392

Additional seats required, based on 60 users per seat for existing population
4352
Additional seats required, based on 100 users per seat for floating population
Total additional seats required 1,696
Sludge Collection vehicles: Discussions with officials revealed that one of the major concerns has been the
empting, transfer, and end disposal of sludge due to the lack of options in densely populated areas, particularly
in slum areas, most of which are located far away from sewer lines. It was found that the city requires a vehicle
that can enter narrow streets where conventional vehicles such as tractors or trolleys cannot enter. At present,
approximately 30% of the households in the city are connected to septic tanks hence, it becomes more important
to look for an interim measure prior to the completion of projects underway/proposed for laying underground
sewers across the entire city. Though the long-term solution would certainly be to connect the whole city to a
centralized sewerage network, these projects would take time to complete and the difficulty in collecting sludge
from narrow lanes remains. Hence, it would be advisable to look for a measure for the collection of the sludge
from narrow lanes. However, in areas where there is sufficient space for the movement of conventional vehicles,
LMC should stick to such vehicles for removing sludge. The following table presents the estimated number of
vehicles required to remove sludge from narrow lanes for the city of Lucknow.
Parameters Total
Existing number of pucca households 5,38,149
Existing number of slum households 1,48,117

Waste Water Recycling: As of now approx. 490 MLD of waste water is generated in Lucknow which is
discharged into Gomti River after treatment at STPs. As discussed with the officials of Jal Kal (LMC) and Jal
Nigam, treated sewage coming out of STPs should further be treated and make it usable for non-potable
purposes. Tertiary treatment supports in removing stubborn contaminants that secondary treatment is unable to
clean up. The wastewater effluent becomes even cleaner in this treatment process through the use of stronger
and more advanced treatment systems. However, tertiary treatment should be adopted only when there is
requirement of treated waste water for different useful and economic purposes as it is an expensive option. For
tertiary treatment LMC can opt for a technology from a range of technologies such as Moving Bed Bioreactor
Technology (MBBR), Activated carbon, and Sequential Batch Reactor (SBR), suiting the requirement. A brief on
these technologies have been explained as below:

Lucknow Municipal
Corporation
MBBR technology: It is an advanced high rate waste water treatment process providing high treatment
efficiency. The set up requires less space and is also low on capital, O&M and replacement costs. The
water treated using this technology can even be used for washing and gardening.
Activated Carbon: Activated carbons and filtration systems support in removing organic and inorganic
contaminants from process water and wastewater. The system has high O&M costs and therefore has not
been tried in India. However, the technology has been used in treating industrial waste water at Common
Effluent Treatment Plant (CETP) at some places.
SBR technology: SBR is an activated sludge process designed to operate under sequences for various
phases of biological treatment where aeration and sludge settlement both occurs in same tank. It is a fill and
draw type activated sludge process where individual reactors are filled one by one in five discrete periods
i.e., Anoxic fill, React, Settle, Decant and Idle/ Waste sludge. It can be designed for large volume of influent
and consists of fine bubble air diffusers. In this process, the compressed air is sheared into small bubbles
creating large specific surface area for higher mass transfer efficiency between air and waste water. An
appropriately designed SBR process is a unique combination of equipment and software providing highest
level of effluent quality on all parameters including BOD and nutrient removal. Automated control minimizes
the manual intervention and thus there is minimal possibility of operational errors. The final effluent quality
not only fulfils the Indian effluent discharge standards, but it also fulfils the US EPA standards for non-
potable reuse. In India, SBR technology has been used at some places and is being operated successfully.
The largest plant in India has been implemented in Navi Mumbai in 2008. An 80 MLD plant of project cost
Rs 59.78 crores was executed by M/s Ramky Infrastructure in Ahmedabad, Gujarat. Recently, a plant has
been installed in Noida, Uttar Pradesh that is reported to be working well.
Re use of treated water

Treated waste water can be put to re-use based on the degree of treatment of waste water and final
characteristics of effluent quality. Treated effluent of a secondary treatment plant can best be used for agriculture
purpose. Though the permissible level of BOD for agriculture use is 100 mg /l, however, it has been observed
that effluent having such BOD level when regularly used for agriculture land creates layer of solid on soil.
Henceforth, in the long term it has some inhibitory effect on soil texture and its productivity. During secondary
treatment the BOD level normally is around 30 mg/l, making it more suitable for agriculture purpose. The treated
wastewater can also be used for aquaculture purpose i.e., fish production. However, for fish production one
should assure the DO (Dissolve Oxygen) level is 5 mg/l in the effluent. Fish species like surface feeders require
more oxygen and can‟t survive in deficient oxygen environment. Such fish can‟t grow in 100% effluent. An
existing fish pond may be used and required quantity of effluent can be put in pond to maintain the water level in
the pond. Treated effluent has its own advantage due to the fact that it supports in growth of phytoplankton and
zooplankton in the pond that are consumed by the fish. As suggested by authorities, the secondary treated
effluent can also be utilized for horticultural purposes in the parks, gardens, wayside green patches. The
discharge of oxidation/sludge ponds should then be pumped to zonal reservoir through pumping station and then
into garden/park reservoir through sprinklers/pumps for watering purposes.
Dual pipeline system
To conserve the fresh water reuse the treated water we have proposed dual pipe line system. The system can be
installed in newly developed colonies along with DEWAT system. The purpose of this system is to promote the
use of treated water at local level. A brief note on dual pipeline system is provided further.

Lucknow Municipal
Corporation
Dual Pipeline System: As the name implies, dual distribution systems involve the use of water supplies
from two different sources in two separate distribution networks. The two systems work independently of
each other within the same service area. Dual distribution systems are usually used to supply potable water
through one distribution network and non-potable water through the other. The systems would be used to
augment public water supplies by providing untreated, or poorly treated, water for purposes other than
drinking. Such purposes could include fire-fighting, sanitary flushing, street cleaning, or irrigation of
ornamental gardens or lawns. This technology allows the use of cheaper sources of water for non-
consumptive purposes, which may currently be served from more expensive, and limited, potable water
supplies. If used to augment the regular distribution system, it makes more potable water available to the
general public.
New group housing societies coming up in Delhi NCR are also incorporating the system of dual pipeline and
zero discharge system as an integral part of the planning and designing. There are many uses of the non-
potable water and its use such as horticulture, irrigation, toilets, car washes, fire fighting, street
cleaning, construction projects, commercial and industrial air conditioning etc.
Manual on norms and standards for environment clearance of large construction projects provide by Ministry
of Environment and Forest also indicates dual plumbing system and use of treated water for various
secondary purposes.

8.4 DRAINAGE SYSTEM

Lucknow city is situated along the river Gomti and has plain topography with slope towards the river side. The
variations between the altitudes are very less here i.e. 99 and 103 m only. The old city settlements mainly to the
south west are on the higher elevation while the remaining city is more or less flat at a lower elevation. The city is
divided into 6 zones and 56 water drainage sub zones. Each basin comprises of the major drain which carry the
storm water to the river.
8.4.1 Water bodies
Gomti River is the major water body in Lucknow with few major canals namely Haider Canal, Kukrail Drain,
Sharda Canal etc. River Gomti with total length of 20 km divides the city into two parts known as cis Gomti and
Trans Gomti. Apart, there are few natural ponds and other water bodies in Lucknow as given in the Table

8.4.2 Drainage channels and coverage

Primary Drainage System: Primary drainage system of Lucknow comprises of River Gomti, Haider Canal and
Kukrail River (Now flowing as drain). After the major flood of 1960 in Lucknow, bunds have been constructed on
both the banks of the river. During the rise in the water level of the river 9rainy season), sewage as well as storm
water is pumped into the river through 42 flood pumping stations located at various parts of the city. The
drainage system of Lucknow was laid down almost three decades back.

Lucknow Municipal
Corporation
Picture 8-14: Haider Canal Picture 8-15: Gomti River
Secondary Drainage System: There are 26 major drains in Lucknow flowing through various parts of the city.
These drains carry storm water and sewage together. These drains have been tapped by Jal Nigam and water
from these drains is diverted to Daulatganj and Bharwara STP. Treated water from both the STPs is discharged
into Gomti River. List of the major drains crossing through the city is provided further:

Flood Pumping Stations (FPS)
During the rise in water levels of Gomti in monsoons the sewage as well as city storm water is pumped in the
river from 42 pumping stations in the city. The sluice gates are operated by irrigation department. These FPSs
are located on each of the major drain. There are barrels/gates located at the meeting point of drains and river.
Kukrail Nallah (Trans Gomti) and Haider Canal (Cis Gomti) do not have barrels at the discharge point. There are
various small streams discharging their water into Kukrail Nallah, barrels are constructed on 9 of the streams
meting Kukrail. List of the FPS on Gomti is provided further:

Tertiary Drainage System

Based on the city topography, major roads, existing natural drains and river crossing Lucknow city has been
divided into six drainage basins and 56 sub catchment areas. At present total drainage length in Lucknow city is
2701 km which 80% of the road network. The drainage system is the mix of open and closed drains.

8.4.3 Water logging and floods

Local water logging does occur in some localities during rains but on the whole, the city is well drained. In 1960
Lucknow recorded its highest flood level at 113.2 metres, when most of the parts of the city were submerged. To
protect the habitations earthen embankments were constructed all along the bank of the river as well as on
Kukrail to a top level of 114.4 metres. In the flood of 1960, the water back-flowed through these drains into large
part of the city. During the construction of embankments, sluice gates on the barrels were installed for discharge
of drains during normal weather and stopping back flow during floods. When river water level rises to the drain
invert levels, these gates are closed so that no back flow occurs. In case of heavy rain and floods, the pumping
stations pump storm water across the embankment into the river so as to prevent water logging in the city. The
embankment and the flood pumping station are almost 25 to 30 years old and in this period no serious flooding
has occurred. In some small stretches, the embankment is not yet complete and may be the cause for flooding in
some localities in case of high floods in the river. Due to absence of proper drainage channels various water
logging incidents occur in the city. Low lying area along Gomti is mostly vulnerable for water logging.

Under the previous CDP for Lucknow city, proposed projects estimates for storm water drainage sectors was Rs.
1555.01 Crores out of which Rs. 389.94 Crores (25%) was sanctioned for various projects.
TABLE 8-32: CIP STATUS PROPOSED IN EARLIER CDP

A DPR for providing storm water drainage system in Lucknow has been framed as per the CPHEEO manual with
total cost of Rs. 325.21 Crores. The cost was later revised to Rs. 389.94 Crores. Out of the sanctioned cost total
Rs. 261.85 Crores has been spent on various drainage works. Funding for the project has been shared between
central government, state government and LMC at the ratio of 50:20:30 respectively.

Picture 8-23: Work Progress for Storm Water Drain Network

Rapid urbanization is exerting tremendous pressure on the natural drains, with a number of them having
disappeared or encroached upon. The total existing network coverage of storm water drainage in the city is 33%
as against 100% requirement in SLB. This shows that to meet the SLB standard immediate steps need to be
taken to improve the system of storm water drains in the city.

 Absence of proper drainage network: In the existing situation Lucknow city lacks in proper and
efficient drainage system in the city. Only 33% of the area is covered with drains against the standard of
100%. Low lying areas along the Gomti River majorly lack drainage system hence these areas are
highly prone to water logging situations. Due to absence of drains in residential areas storm water is
diverted to sewerage lines by the public resulting in choking of sewer lines.
 Choked drains: Most of the drains are choked with solid waste and causing water logging situation in
many of the residential areas.

Lucknow Municipal
Corporation
 Increase run off: Drainage network of Lucknow was established almost five decade back. Due to
population growth and hard surface expansion water runoff has increased many times and existing
system is not sufficient to handle the current load.
 Low Pumping capacity: Pumping machines at the Flood Pumping Station and Sewerage Pumping
Stations are not sufficient for existing quantity of waste water flowing in the drains.
 Conversion of drains into sewer lines: 26 major storm water drains of Lucknow city have converted
into sewage carrying drains. Due to absence of proper sewerage system and public ignorance
household sewage is discharged into the drains. Mixing of sewage and storm water drain is one of the
major problem city is facing.
 Silting in drains: Regular and proper cleaning of drains is not being done. Major drains are cleaned
once in a year before the monsoon or if any complaint is there. Heavy silting of drains resulting into
overflow of water and water logging situation in rainy season.

8.4.11 Storm Water Drainage system

River Gomti acts as a primary natural drain for Lucknow city carrying all the storm water and waste water
generated. Apart from Gomti there are two natural drainage channels in the city namely Haider Canal and Kukrail
Nallah (Used to be a river) discharge their water into the Gomti River. There were few local water bodies in
Lucknow in the form of lakes and ponds; however, due to illegal development these water bodies have been
encroached. In the current situation only 33% of the city is covered with drainage network. Water logging in low
lying areas is one of the major environmental issues in Lucknow resulting into unhygienic conditions for the
people. The area along the Gomti lacks in drainage system resulting into overflowing of water during the rainy
season.
In the case of storm water drainage, the broad strategy followed would be similar to that proposed in the case of
road sector, wherein the existing gaps in this sector and the future requirements would be addressed in terms of
two categories of priority or short term needs and long term needs. The existing gaps and the demand arising for
the year 2020 may be taken up as priority projects. The suggestions which had been put forth in the stakeholder
consultation have been clubbed under the category of short term requirements and the long term requirements
(2040) should be addressed by LMC in the second phase.
8.4.13 Vision Statement, Goals and Action Plan
Sector Vision
To develop and maintain comprehensive storm water infrastructure system and minimise the water
logging incidents in the city
 100% coverage of city with drain network. a) Provide drainage lines to all the HHs.
 Conservation of natural water channel b) Desilting of major drains.
 Make the city water logging free. c) Implementation of Root Zone Treatment System for major
drains.

Construction of storm water drains: LMC needs to undertake lying of 1941 km of drains by 2020 and 7327
km of drain by the year 2040. This construction may be done in tandem for the new roads and the existing road
up-gradation activities done by LMC. These construction activities would have to be carried out on an immediate
basis to address the existing and future demand-supply gap.
Desilting of 26 Major Drains – Constructed Wetlands: There are 26 major drains in Lucknow city carrying not
only storm water but also waste water generated at HH level. Due to absence of proper sewerage system in the
city, these drains are being used as sewage discharge points. However after the implementation of sewerage
work under JnNURM phase I, approx. 30% of the sewage has been diverted to sewer lines. It is assumed that
after the completion of 100% sewer work in Lucknow these drains will be utilised for the purpose of storm water.
These drains are heavily silted due to regular flow of sewage and dumping of solid waste. During the rainy
season, these drains get overflow and the extra flow directly goes to the River Gomti. To stop the overflowing
sewage discharge into Gomti River there is immediate need to clean these drains. To make the drain cleaning
sustainable, a system needs to be installed which can keep the drain water clean and prevent River Gomti water
Lucknow Municipal
Corporation
getting polluted. In addition, there are other small drains and water bodies getting polluted due to discharge of
waste water waste. To clean and prevent these water bodies getting more polluted conserve them, constructed
wetland system for the natural drains and other small water bodies has been proposed for Lucknow. A brief
note given below explains the mechanism of the RZT system.
Constructed wetlands (CW) are an alternative localized treatment technology suitable for reducing BOD,
COD, NPK and pathogens to acceptable levels for subsequent use of treated water, especially for irrigation.
Dissolved chemicals and heavy metal also reduced to an extent. A number of factors like low operating
cost, less energy requirement and ease of maintenance attribute to making CW system an attractive
alternative for wastewater management. These are artificially prepared wetlands comprising of clay or
plastic lined excavation and emergent vegetation growing on gravel/sand mixtures and is also known as
constructed wetland. This method combines mechanical filtration, chemical precipitation and biological
degradation in one step for the treatment of wastewater.
The process to treat the sewage begins with passing the raw effluent (after removing grit or floating
material) horizontally or vertically through a bed of soil having impervious bottom. The effluent percolates
through the bed that has all the roots of the wetland plants spread very thickly, nearly 2,500 types of
bacteria and 10,000 types of Fungi, which harbor around roots, get oxygen form the weak membranes of
the roots and aerobically oxidize the organic matter of the effluent. The characteristics of plants of absorbing
oxygen through their leaves and passing it down to roots through their stems which are hollow, is utilized as
a bio-pump. Away from the roots, anaerobic digestion also takes place. The filtering action of the soil bed,
the action with fungi etc. and chemical action with certain existing or added inorganic chemicals help in
finally obtaining very clear and clean water. The system of plants regenerates itself as the old plants die and
form useful humus.
Advantages:
• With no use of machinery and associated maintenance, the root zone system provides for low
maintenance cost and negligible attendance for operation and monitoring
• It enhances the landscape and gives the site a green appeal
• It provides natural habitat for birds and after a few years gives an appearance of a Bird‟s sanctuary
• It is a green zone, it does not have mosquitoes problem.
• Salinity may not be a problem for a survival or operations of reed beds
• In the horizontal flow system, the sewage percolates through bed and that has all roots of the wetland
plants spread very thickly nearly with 2500 types of bacteria and 10,000 types of fungi and aerobically
oxidized organic matter of the effluent.
• The system gives a very good performance of removing 90% BOD and 63% Nitrogen.

8.5 MUNICIPAL SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT

Municipal solid waste constitutes mainly residential and commercial waste generated within the jurisdiction of
municipality in either solid or semi-solid form excluding industrial hazardous wastes but including treated
biomedical wastes. Lucknow Municipal Corporation is the responsible body for collection, scientific segregation,
transportation, processing and disposal of waste generated within its jurisdiction. LMC is also responsible for
estimation and analysis of waste, waste minimization, public awareness and enforcement and resource
management.
8.5.1 Municipal waste generation in Lucknow
At present total municipal waste generation in Lucknow city is approximately 1365 TPD with an average per
capita per day generation rate of 280 gm. Information received from LMC indicates that municipal waste in
Lucknow constitute organic waste, C&D waste, silt waste, street sweeping, recyclable and mixed waste.
8.5.1.1 Residential areas
Out of 110 wards, in 57 wards waste generated in residential establishments is collected by private operator and
in rest of the wards waste is collected by LMC workers from dhalaos and road side bins. Wards with door to door
collection of waste are levied with some charges based on building area and land use by private operator. As of
now, no charges are levied on households for the collection of MSW by LMC. This waste is transported to
secondary waste collection centres by rickshaw trolleys.
8.5.1.2 Commercial areas
The commercial areas identified in Lucknow city are located throughout the city and include Aminabad, Charbag,
Alambagh, Rajaji Puram, Gomti Nagar (Vibhuti Khand, Vivek Khand), Hajarat Ganj, Ali Ganj, Bhutnath, Lekhraj
market, Indira Nagar, Sanjay Gandhi Puram, Faizabad Road, etc. These areas are mixed zones comprising
commercial (shops and markets) and residential areas as well as hotels and restaurants. The waste from shops
starts accumulating in the morning hours (8:00 AM–2:00 PM), when they are cleaned. Safai karamcharis clean
market places and throw the waste in nearby open dumps. Charges as per the shop size are taken by private
operators in 57 wards.
8.5.1.3 Healthcare establishments
Approximately 200 hospitals, 200 nursing homes, 344 medical clinics, 33 pathologies, 93 dental clinics, and
1,762 private doctors‟ clinics are registered with LMC, but the actual numbers of medical institutions are even
higher. The large medical establishments have in-house facilities for treating biomedical waste. There is a private
operators working for biomedical waste treatment facility in the city. Apart, other operators located in nearby
towns also collect biomedical waste from Lucknow.
8.5.1.4 Hotels and banquet halls
Lucknow has more than 1,000 establishments comprising eating joints, hotels, restaurants, banquet halls, etc.
The waste from these establishments mostly includes leftover food and disposable crockery. Private operator
collects the waste from the wards covered under door to door collection of waste whereas rest of the wards
waste is thrown in dhalaos or bins kept by LMC. Approximate biomedical waste generation in Lucknow is 5 to 6
metric ton per day.
8.5.1.5 Drain silt
Drain silt typically comprises dust, household waste, sweepings, construction waste, etc. The major portion of
drain silt is generated by the disposal of household sweepings/street sweepings in open drains. The drains are
cleaned twice or thrice a week/even fortnightly in a few parts of the city. At other parts, the waste is left
Lucknow Municipal
Corporation
unattended for months and cleared only before the rainy season, upon receiving complaints from the local
residents. Drain silt constitutes about 6% of the MSW generated in Lucknow. Mechanical drain sweeping has
started in some of the wards for drains more than 1 ft. wide. In zone number five, private operators has started
drain cleaning recently.
8.5.1.6 Construction and demolition waste
Construction and demolition waste comprises 16% of the waste generated in the city (Source: MSW DPR).
However, the quantum varies from time to time depending on the construction or demolition activities in Lucknow
city. There are no standard practices followed for the disposal of construction waste in Lucknow city. A major
portion of this waste is generally used in reconstruction activities or for filling up low-lying areas or constructing
temporary (kutcha) roads. The entities generating construction waste generally engage private vehicles to collect
construction waste and dispose it at nearby dumping sites.
8.5.1.7 Street sweeping
RR Department under LMC and Health Department is responsible for street weeping activities in Lucknow city.
Street sweeping is done mechanically and manually both. Mechanical sweeping has started recently in Lucknow
on some of the major roads such as Kanpur Road, Faizabad Road, Gomti Nagar, Parivartan Chauk and Hazrat
Ganj. RR Department (LMC) has recently purchased 5 machines for mechanical sweeping. Manual sweeping is
done once in a day in the morning hours whereas mechanical sweeping is done in once in a day in night hours.
Waste is collected in rickshaw trolleys and dumped into the dhalaos which is finally taken to the open dump site.
Street sweeping starts at 7:30 AM and continues up to 2:00 PM. During sweeping, one sweeper covers an area
of 10,000–20,000 sq. yards depending on the width of drains and roads. According to the DPR of SWM, street
sweeping constitutes about 3% of the MSW generated in Lucknow. In zone number five private operators has
started street sweeping recently.
8.5.2 Per capita waste generation and waste characteristics
As per the information available from LMC, the per capita waste generation in Lucknow city is 280 gm. however it
varies between various income classes. Income class category wise waste generation in Lucknow is presented
below in Table 8-38.

Constituents of Municipal Solid Waste are classified in terms of Bio-degradable, Recyclable and inert
compositions. The organic waste which is bio-degradable, accounting to 47% is the highest among all the
constituents of the waste generated per day in the city, this is due to the fact that the maximum generation of
waste is from domestic activities. Rest of the 16% of the waste is composed of C&D material, while 17% is

8.5.3 Waste segregation

Currently no waste segregation at source is happening in Lucknow city. Waste is collected from source and
dumped at Dhalaos from where waste is transported to dump sites. More than 3000 of rag pickers are involved in
segregation activities. They segregate the reusable and recyclable waste from dhalaos, dumpsite and wastes
dumped in open spaces and sell them to waste recyclers and kabadiwals.
8.5.4 Collection of waste
The waste collection efficiency is 93% including door to door collection (52% of the city HHs) and collection from
road side bins. There are 402 compactor buckets and RC bins and 312 dhalaos located in various parts of the
city. Waste is collected from these places and taken to the open dump site.
8.5.4.1 Primary collection
Door to door waste collection: Waste generated in the city is partly collected through rickshaw trolleys and
hand carts as per as the route plans. In the organized colonies and newly developed areas of the city, garbage is
being collected through LMV (Tata- Axe). In the first phase 57 wards out of 110 have been taken up and the
garbage collected at the primary stage is sent to the dhalaos ghars of the city. In the remaining 53 wards old
waste collection system continues whereby people throw waste to the nearby dhalaos and road side bins. Door
to door collection of waste in these 53 wards will start soon as informed by LMC and private concessionaire.

8.5.6 Processing and disposal of waste

8.5.6.1 Municipal waste
Currently no processing of municipal waste is being done by LMC or private concessionaire in Lucknow city. At
present three dumping sites are available in Lucknow located at Dubagga, Kursi Road and Ramdaskhed. The
dump sites are traditional dump site without any lining at the bottom hence they are causing pollution at the site
and in surrounding areas. The leachate generated at the site is responsible for ground water contamination and
soil pollution in the area; apart other issues with open dump sites are bad odour, spread of diseases, breeding
ground for flies etc. Location of all three dump sites in Lucknow is shown in the map given in Figure 8-20.

Lucknow Municipal
Corporation
Picture 8-29: Dumping Site at Dubagga
8.5.6.2 Biomedical waste

Biomedical waste is being handled by private operators in Lucknow. Total biomedical waste generation in
Lucknow is 2 MT/day. There are three private sector units working in collection in biomedical waste namely,
Spectrum in Lucknow, Synergy in Faizabad and Medical Pollution Control Unit in Akbarpur. Charges for
collecting the waste from the hospitals and nursing homes is Rs. 3 per bed from private hospitals and Rs. 2 per
bed from government hospitals.
A new biomedical waste treatment plant has been set up by LMC on PPP mode at Bindaua Village on Rai Bareli
Road with total capacity of 250 kg/hour. The total capacity of the incinerator is 250 kg per hour. The plant started
its operation in the 2014. SMS WATERGRACE MEDIWASTE Management Pvt. Ltd. is the private operator.

8.5.6.3 C&D waste

No separate arrangements are there for C&D waste management in Lucknow. Waste is dumped in dumped sites
along with municipal waste only.
8.5.6.4 E- Waste
E waste includes computers, laptop, fridge, telephone, washing machine, DVD players etc. At present there is no
plant to dispose-off the E waste generated in the city. Informal sector is engaged in dismantling and disposing
activities for E waste in city.
8.5.6.5 Recyclable waste
The recyclable waste is segregated by Kabadiwalas and Rag Pickers. The kabadiwalas purchase recyclable
waste from residential and commercial establishment while rag pickers collect recyclable from market place, dust
bins, open dump sides dhalaos and sort them before selling off. Rag pickers play a very important role in
segregation of waste.
8.5.7 Compliant redressal system
One central “complaint redressal centre” with Adequate no. of telephone lines along with voice recording facility
for receiving customer calls/complaints has been established at the Head Office of Jyoti Enviro Tech Pvt. Ltd.

The following section lists the issues in SWM. It should be noted that a private sector operator has been
appointed for SWM from January 2011.
 Lack of Sanitary landfill site: Currently, there is no sanitary engineered landfill site, and MSW is
dumped in open land, which lead to ground water and soil pollution, vector nuisance, etc. However a
sanitary land fill site is under construction under the SWM project, which is being implemented on a
PPP basis.
 Inappropriate primary collection of solid waste: Waste is discharged by establishments (residential
and non-residential) into open plots, open drains, etc. These unorganized disposal methods have
resulted in the accumulation of solid waste on roadsides, vacant plots, and storm water drains. This has
resulted in a number of hygiene-related problems such as breeding of mosquitoes and presence of
stray animals.
 Transportation of solid waste in open vehicles: Solid waste is transported primarily in open trucks,
three wheelers, and trolleys. It is also observed that these vehicles are overloaded with waste, resulting
in the littering of roads during transportation. The loading and unloading of waste is done manually, and
safai karamcharis involved in this activity do not use any personal protective equipment (PPE).
 Inappropriate collection and disposal of construction waste: The construction/demolition waste
generated by local residents is transported in tractor trolleys and disposed at either secondary collection
points or open/low-lying areas in the vicinity.
 Mixing of slaughter house waste with MSW: Waste from slaughter houses is disposed in open
dumping sites, although there are provisions for separately disposing slaughter house waste in Lucknow
city.

Lucknow Municipal
Corporation
 No treatment facility for E waste: As of now there is no treatment facility available for E waste in
Lucknow. The city is generating huge amount of E waste which is dismantled unscientifically in some of
the markets. After dismantling process usable items are sold and left over portions are thrown in nearby
dumping places. The left over waste is hazardous and polluting the environment.
 Inadequate number of community dustbins: Almost 30% of the HHs in the city are dump waste in
open area. One of the reasons for this is the lack of adequate number of community bins.
 Multiple handling of waste: Waste is handled multiple times leading to potential health hazards for the
workers as all types of wastes including hospital waste, human waste, etc., are disposed at the same
storage points. Sanitary workers are not given any protective clothing.
 Lack of community involvement: There are very few Resident Welfare Associations (RWAs) or NGOs
involved in this activity and the community at large is not involved in effective SWM.

8.5.13 On-going and completed projects

8.5.13.1 SWM PPP system in Lucknow
Before the year 2010, Waste management services in Lucknow were under LMC and implementation of the PPP
model in MSW was introduced in same year. Currently a private firm MS/ Jyoti Enviro has been given the
contract for collection and transportation of MSW for 30 years (Till 2040). In the first phase, 57 wards out of 110
have been taken up and the garbage collected at the primary stage is sent to the dhalaos ghars of the city. In the

Lucknow Municipal
Corporation
remaining 53 wards, old collection system is being practiced. Waste transportation from dhalaos ghars to
dumping site is done by LMC workers.
Key features of concession agreement:
 The concessionaire is allowed a 30-year concession period and will be paid a tipping fee of Rs. 562 per
ton and an increase of 4% ever year. Further, user charges will be also be levied on households. This
will range from Rs. 20–50 per family/month.
 During the concession period, the concessionaire shall ensure that all MSW generated within the
concession area is collected, transported, segregated, processed, and disposed in accordance with the
applicable laws and this agreement.
 Door to door collection: Detailed project report for municipal waste management for Lucknow has
been prepared and work has already been started with total cost of Rs.74.13 Crores with grant of
Rs.42.99 Crores. In the current situation out of 110, door to door collection is taking place in 57 wards.
For rest of the 53 wards door to door collection will start soon. Recently the cost has been revised to Rs.
105 Crores whereby amount of Rs. 9.90 Crore has been additionally given by LMC. Now the share of
LMC has increased to 52.89% in total project.
 Transfer stations: Four transfer stations have been proposed at different locations of the city.
Construction for three transfer stations has been started and near completion stage. Delay in
construction of fourth transfer station is due to dispute in the identified land. Locations of transfer
stations are Gomti Nagar, Aliganj, Kanpur Road near Amousi Airport and Kanpur Hardoi Road Bypass.
 Scientific Landfill Site and MSW Processing Plant: Another key project for SWM is construction of
scientific land fill site compost pads and processing plants. Land for processing activities has been
identified and sanctioned for the project with total area of 19 ha at Shivri and land for scientific land fill
total area of 21 ha is provided in Phalenda village. As of now processing plant is working for testing
purpose and in the current year it will be fully operational.

LMC has awarded the contract for Municipal Solid Waste Management in Lucknow to private concessionaire for
the period of 30 years i.e. 2010 to 2040. From primary collection to final disposal of waste, private concessionaire
is responsible for all the activities. As per the contract agreement, the concessionaire was supposed to start all
the components of scope of the work by 2010, however, after conducting site visit and discussion with officials it
was observed that only 30% of the work is being implemented. Existing gaps as per the scope of the work and
work executed are discussed further:

8.5.15 Solid Waste Management

The demand-gap assessment presented earlier indicates generation of 2686 TPD of waste in the town by the
year 2040 against the current generation of 1365 TPD. SWM services in Lucknow are initiated on PPP basis by
LMC. In the existing situation the private operator is responsible for provision of end to end waste management
services within municipal boundary.
In order to facilitate improved solid waste management, LMC would have to focus on two aspects, one the
adoption of better practices to ensure proper collection, segregation and disposal of waste and the second being
augmentation of the existing infrastructure. The current status of the infrastructure needs to be improved by
increasing the equipment required for effectively handling the waste and most importantly disposal facility.
Sector Vision
“To make the city open dumping free and 100% access to door to door collection services with efficient
solid waste disposal facility.”

a) Increase the number of vehicles and man power
 100% coverage for door to door collection for door to door waste collection
 Open dumping free city b) Waste collection in segregated bins
 Segregation of waste at source c) Involvement of rag pickers in door to door collection
d) Increase the numbers of road side bins
 Recycle and reuse of waste
e) Involve NGOs in educating the people
 Formalisation of rag pickers in Lucknow f) Decentralised processing facilities for waste disposal
 Spread awareness among the citizens like composting, recycling units etc.
regarding the health impacts of g) Minimisation of waste
mismanaging waste h) 100% processing of waste to achieve the status of
zero land fill

8.5.19 Details of Sub Projects to be under taken
Dhalaos: After the expansion of municipal area there would be requirement of Dhalaos in newly developed
areas. Approx one dhalaos would be required for one sq. km of area. Till the year 2040 if the municipal area
expands to 500 sq. km, 200 more dhalaos need to be constructed.
Transfer Stations: After the expansion of municipal area four new transfer station need to be set up in
expanded area of the city.
Road Side Bins: Community bins are not sufficient in numbers as per the current city demand. As per the
demand gap analysis 1000 new bins need to be places by the year 2040 by LMC.

8.6 ROADS AND TRANSPORTATION

Roads and transportation constitute the main entities of efficient working of any urban area. To ensure the
standards in these facilities, the Indian government has formulated the National Urban Transport policy which
looks after into the prominent problems viz. free flow of traffic, travel time and cost, accident rate and pollution,
and transportation (source: National Urban Transport Policy-2006). In the light of this policy, Lucknow Municipal
Corporation has formulated its Comprehensive Mobility plan (CMP-2012), which is at the draft stage. The
facilitation and management of roads and transportation in Lucknow is at present done by a multiplicity of
agencies/departments like Municipal Corporation, PWD, NHAI, State Highways, RTO, Railways, UPSRTC, UP
Bridge Corporation Board etc. No single agency is solely accountable for providing transport services as well as
transport infrastructure resulting in overlapping functions, functional and spatial fragmentation. LMC is
responsible for maintenance, construction of road network (city roads) and traffic management. To improve traffic
and transportation system in Lucknow, LMC has got a number of studies done in the past such as Short Term
Traffic Management and Improvement Plan for Lucknow, City Mobility Plan and DPR for funding of buses under
JnNURM.
8.6.1 Connectivity
Lucknow is one of the most important administrative centres as well as educational and cultural capital of Uttar
Pradesh. Being a state capital city is well connected with other major towns of the state through national and
state highways. Lucknow is connected to Delhi via NH 24, railways and airways; NH 25 connects the city to
Jhansi (UP) and Shivpuri (MP), NH 28 to Barauni in Bihar, NH 24 B to Raibareli and NH 58 to Varanasi. There
are two state highways crossing through the city namely SH 25 towards Hardoi and SH 40 towards Etawah.
8.6.2 Road Network in Lucknow
As per the information available from Lucknow Municipal Corporation total road length in Lucknow city is 3387
km, which includes 73 km of NH, 12.5 km of SH and rest are arterial and sub arterial roads. National Highway
Authority of India maintains national highways, PWD and LMC take care of the all the other city network roads in
Lucknow. Table 8-48 presents the summary of zone wise length and density of road network in Lucknow city.
TABLE 8-48: ZONE WISE LENGTH AND DENSITY OF ROADS IN LUCKNOW
Zone Numbers Road Length Area sq.km Road Density

Zone 6 590 64 9.27
Total 3387 333 10.17
Road density is measures by km of roads per sq. km of land area. Road density study of Lucknow city suggests
that the city has comparable road density with other major towns of India. Figure 8-21 shows the road density
comparison of Lucknow with Uttar Pradesh and other major cities. Road density in urban UP is 7.2 whereas
Lucknow has road density of 10.2 which is much higher than state.

concept in integrated. The growth of the Lucknow road Development
system is towards ring radial concept which is suitable
for the city also. The urban sprawl in Lucknow has taken
place in all directions along the NHs and SHs. Apart from
the highways, Major District Road (MDR 77C) radiates
from the city centre. The central core area of the city has
network consisting of commonly 2-lane undivided roads
that is a mix of grid iron pattern and radial pattern,
showing high density of roads. The intra-city traffic
moving between these three segments has to invariably
pass through the congested central core which also Distribution

in the central areas of the city are much lesser at 8-10 m
with high density with concentration of residential
population and commercial and institutional activities on both sides. The major roads in central areas are Latush
Road, Aminabad Road, Hazratganj Road, Ashok Road which comprised of highly specialized commercial
activities. Because of limited width, two-wheeler and three-wheeler are the common and preferred mode of
transportation in narrow roads. Encroachment, concentration of informal activities and high pedestrian population
is also high on the roads in core area which are reducing the effective, usable road width. Road condition of outer
roads especially in newly developed areas are good because these roads are newly constructed and designed
with cycle track, pedestrian crossing and are equipped with other street furniture.

8.6.5.1 Vehicular Growth and Composition
The growth trend of registered vehicles in Lucknow city has shown an increase in personalised vehicles
consisting of two wheelers and four wheelers over the last five years. In the last fifteen years, the total number of
vehicles on Lucknow‟s roads has increased with almost 19% annual growth (Source: CMP Lucknow). The total
number of registered vehicles in Lucknow has increased from 2,62,291 in 1994 to 9,72,127 in 2008 to further
10,10,226 in the year 2009 (Figure 8-26). The total registered vehicles (on road) in Lucknow as per the
available data were 11 lakh as on March 2010. The growth rate is very high for two wheelers, car, jeep which are
personalised mode and occupy significant portion of the road space. Table 8-49 shows the distribution of
vehicles in Lucknow city. As shown in Figure 8-27, almost 82% of vehicles are two wheelers followed by four
wheelers (14%). Rest 4% are contributed by public transport vehicles and goods vehicles.

8.6.5.2 Traffic Congestion

Hazratganj, the main CBD of Lucknow, Parivartan Chauraha and Polytechnic Chauraha are the main traffic
concentration zones in Lucknow city. Average peak hour volume of traffic at most of the junctions is more than
6,000 however the volume of traffic at Polytechnic Chauraha and Hazratganj Chauraha is about 15,000 and
14,000 respectively. The areas like Hazratganj, Charbagh, Polytechnic, Gol Market, Kapoorthala, IT Chauraha
and old city area of Lucknow remain congested throughout the day which is evident from the table Table 8-50
showing the volume by capacity (v/c) ratio of the highly congested roads of Lucknow. Most of the roads have v/c
ratio of more than desired standard of 1 which indicates the need to take measurements for improvement.
Highest volume capacity ratio is found in Kanpur Road (1.7) and Ashok Road (1.41). The average speed of
vehicles in Lucknow city varies between 15 kilometres per hour and 9 kilometres per hours in peak hours.

8.6.6 Road Accidents

The number of traffic accidents reported in Lucknow in the year 2010 October was 1043, causing injuries to 620
persons and death on 348 persons. Numbers of accidents are increasing every year with average annual growth
rate of 14%. The continuous increase in accidents in Lucknow city can be attributed to the growing vehicular
traffic, faulty public transportation and lack of pedestrian facilities. As per the data availability from traffic police
department given in Table 8-51 shows the number of accidents from the year 2006 to 2010 in Lucknow city.

8.6.7 Public Transportation

Bus Service: The Uttar Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation (UPSRTC) is responsible for operation of
bus transportation in the city. Till the year 2008, UPSRTC was providing bus services under the name of
Lucknow Mahanagar Parivartan Sewa with fleet of 220 buses provided by LMC. Under JNNURM scheme
MOUD, GoI provided 300 buses to LMC to run in the city area. At present UPSRTC is running 260 buses on 20
routes. It has 4 bus depots in Gomtinagar, Charbagh Amausi and Dubagga. All big buses are parked in
Gomtinagar and Charbagh bus stands. Mini buses are parked in Dubagga and Amausi bus depots.
8.6.8 Intermediate Public Transport (ITP)
ITP is another predominant mode of transport in Lucknow city. ITP in Lucknow consist of auto rickshaw and 8
seater tempo. As per CMP, at present there are 4426 (as on 31st March 2010) auto rickshaws in Lucknow city on
area permit basis. Besides 2984 numbers of 8 seater tempos run on 47 designated routes.

Lucknow Municipal
Corporation
8.6.9 Non-Motorised Transport (NMT)

The city witnesses significant number of walk trips and the composition also reveals large number of slow moving
vehicles such as cycle rickshaw, animal carts etc. Altogether the share of non-motorised transport accounts for
41% of the total trips (walk 17%, bicycle 16% and cycle rickshaw 8%). Despite of the fact that a large percentage
of the population is NMT user, no specific attention has been given in improving the road conditions. In most of
the roads there is no segregation for the cycle traffic from the motorized traffic causing potential unsafe
conditions. Footpaths of major roads as well as narrow streets of the dense urban core are encroached by
hawkers and vendors. In many cases these activities have spread on the carriageway reducing its effective
width. Pedestrians and senior citizens are forced to walk on the carriageway which is not safe.
Picture 8-42: ITP Picture 8-43: Non-Motorized Transport

8.6.10 Footpaths
Availability of Footpaths
As mentioned in CMP, 17% of the trips are walk trips. Thus
pedestrian forms a significant portion of the mobility pattern of the
city. Although walk trips constitute an important share in the total
trips, however only 44% of the road network has footpaths on both
the sides, and 3% of road network has footpaths on one side of the Available both
sides
road. Further most of the footpaths are discontinuous and non- No Avilable 44%
53%
usable in many stretches due to encroachment by hawkers and
traders, existence of electric poles and open manholes on the
middle of the footpath. Pedestrian crossing facilities are also grossly Available one

inadequate such as signals, zebra crossing, grade separated 3%
crossing etc.
8.6.11 Bus Stands
There are three intercity bus stands/depots in Lucknow city namely Charbagh Bus Stand, Alambagh Bus Stand
and Kaiserbagh Bus Stand. Lucknow is well connected with nearby major towns via bus services.

Picture 8-44: Charbagh Bus Stand Picture 8-45: Alambagh Bus Stand
8.6.12 Parking
Parking is a major problem in Lucknow due to shortage of off street Parking Composition
parking facility. Parking generally takes place along the roads in front
of the commercial establishments, public and semi-public
Auto
establishments. On street parking causes bottlenecks and hamper 18%
smooth movement of traffic. Highest peak hour accumulation of
vehicles was observed at Hazratganj, Janpath Market, Kaiserbagh
and old city areas. The local traders and shop owners are using
these areas for parking. As per CMP parking survey, 56% and 26% Four Two Wheelers
Wheelers 56%
of the total parked vehicles are two wheelers and four wheelers 26%
respectively and the remaining are three wheelers.
Off-Street parking: Off-Street parking spaces in Lucknow are
maintained by LDA and LMC. There are eight number of designated
major off-street underground and multilevel parking spaces in Lucknow. As brief description of the parking
spaces is provide further.

8.6.13 Freight Movement

As per the information available from CMP, nearly 40,000 trucks enter/exit through Lucknow daily. Most of the
goods vehicle movement takes place on NH 25 towards Kanpur. Movement of heavy vehicles within the city is
restricted from 7 AM to 9 PM on some of the roads. Most of the heavy vehicles park at Transport Nagar along
Kanpur Road, which is major loading unloading centre. Movement of medium and light good vehicle within the
city generally take place on tempos, trucks, animal carts and handcarts throughout the day. Due to location of
CBD in the city centre, most of the lighter goods vehicles traverse through this area causing severe traffic
congestion.
8.6.14 Traffic Movement Characteristics
As per the traffic movement characteristics study conducted in City Mobility Plan, Kanpur road (NH 25)
contributes maximum traffic flow i.e. 23% of total traffic movement in both directions, followed by 15% on
Faizabad Road (NH 28) and Allahabad Road (NH 24 B). Figure 8-30 shows the traffic movement at major
external points in Lucknow.

Total of Rs. 1467 crore was estimated for roads, traffic and transportation projects under previous CDP 2006. As
per the current situation no project has been sanctioned under previous CDP for traffic and transportation.
8.6.18 Proposed Projects and Feasibility Studies
8.6.18.1 Proposals under Master Plan 2021
Lucknow Master Plan 2021 was prepared in the year 2006. To address the chaotic traffic conditions of the city,
Lucknow Master Plan has suggested various measures and suggestion to overcome the shortcomings as
discussed in the points further:
 Total land area under transportation system is proposed to increase from 8% to 15% till the year 2021.
 Shifting of Mandis, Motors Parts Establishments from core areas of the city to outer areas.
 Shifting of bus/truck terminals from congested core areas to outer areas.

Lucknow Municipal
Corporation
 Reduction of traffic problem on Charbagh Railway Station by properly developing railway stations at
Utteria, Gomti Nagar, Manak Nagar, Alamnagar and Dilkhusha.
 Creation of bypass road for through traffic
 Creation of parking spaces
8.6.18.2 Development of new arterial road along Haider Canal and Kukrail Nallah Alignment
To solve the traffic problem in the core city area, LMC conducted a feasibility study to develop the Ghazi-ud-Din
Haider‟s Canal‟ running from West to East along middle parts of the city passing through important localities like
Rajajipuram, Talkatora, Mawaiya, Charbagh, Quila, Rajbhavan etc. Presently the canal is in a stage of severe
neglect and has become dumping place of sewage, garbage, construction waste from adjoining areas during the
rainy season. The canal ultimately discharges this waste matter sewerage and the storm water into the Gomti
River thereby becoming a serious pollution threat to the flora and fauna of the canal and the Gomti river system.
The feasibility of constructing an elevated expressway over this canal has been examined earlier on the
insistence of the State Government by the U.P, State Bridge Corporation in 1998, which got prepared the initial
Feasibility report of the 8.26 km length of the stretch of the canal from Rajajipuram to Kalidas Marg by the Rail
India Technical and Economic Services (RITES). This was reviewed by RITES again for the 1.661 km length of
the stretch of the canal from Mawaiya to Bans Mandi and the Quick Study Report was submitted to the U.P State
Industrial Development Corporation Ltd. in March 2003. Meanwhile to facilitate the appalling traffic congestion, a
part of this stretch of Haider canal from Quila crossing under the over bridge to the Lal Bahadur Shastri Marg
crossing from a length of 0.340 km ( Cn 2,942 to 4,603 ) has been constructed about three years back and
commissioned in 2010.
Picture 8-50: Haider Canal Stretch

In view of the high costs of construction of the elevated road and infringement of the right of way of the
underground/elevated Lucknow Metro crossing at the KKC bridge of the Haider canal, it has been decided to go
in for a normal road at ground level on the land reclaimed by filling the canal, which would facilitate connection to
all the roads crossing the canal in the three stretches as under, considering zero chainage at Rajajipuram and
leaving out the stretch of the canal already developed:
1. From Rajajipuram to Mawaiya for a length of 3.210 km
2. From Mawaiya to Quila crossing under the overbridged for a length of 2.540 km
3. From Lal Bahadur Shastri Marg crossing to Kalidas Marg bridge for a length of 1,670 Km
8.6.18.3 Lucknow Metro Project

Detailed project report for Metro Rail for Lucknow city has been prepared by Delhi Metro Rail Corporation in
the year 2013 August. The DPR has been sanctioned by MOUD and the construction work has started. LDA is
the nodal agency for implementation of the metro project in Lucknow. Some of the key features of the projects
are discussed as follows:

Lucknow Municipal
Corporation
 The study area for Lucknow Metro was jurisdiction of LDA.

 Based on Peak Hour and Peak direction traffic (PHPDT), two routes; one connecting north to South and
East to West were identified. North – South corridor starts at Amausi airport and ends at Munshipulia via
Hazratganj, Sachivalaya, IT Chauraha etc. with a total length of 22.878 km. East- West corridor with its
Length of 11.098kms, starts at Charbagh Railway station and ends at Vasant kunj passing through City
railway station, Balaganj, Musabagh etc.
 The total ridership in the proposed North- South corridor in the year 2015 and 2041 will be 4.29 and
13.44 lakhs passengers per day respectively. The daily ridership on the East- West corridor will be 1.55
lakhs in 2015 and 6.00 lakhs passengers per day in 2041.
 There are in total 34 proposed metro stations, 22 for north-south corridor and 12 for east-west corridor.
Out of 34 metro stations, 7 stations will be underground.
 Cost Estimates:
o North-South Corridor: The overall capital cost for Chaudhary Charan Singh Airport – Munshipulia
Corridor at May 2013 price level, works out to Rs. 4902 Crores excluding taxes and duties, but
including general charges & design charges @ 7% on all items except land and 3% contingencies
on all items. Estimated total taxes & duties are Rs. 718 Crores.
o Charbagh Railway Station – Vasant kunj: The overall capital cost for Charbagh Railway Station –
Vasant kunj Corridor at May 2013 price level, works out to Rs. 3653Crores excluding taxes and
duties but including general charges & design charges @ 7% on all items except land and 3%
contingencies on all items. Estimated total taxes & duties are Rs. 562Crore.
The operation of Metro rail in Lucknow will reduce the traffic congestion in the city and increase the use of public
transport by public. The construction work for metro has started in September 2014. Work on north south corridor
has been initiated and in the first phase link between airport to Charbagh station will be established.

 Missing links on ring road: There are several missing links on the inner ring road crossing through the
outer skirts of the city between Faizabad road and Sitapur road, between Kanpur road and Raibareli
road and between Raibareli road and Faizabad road.
 Missing links b/w Cis and Trance Gomti River: The western part of the city in upper stream of Gomti
River lacks proper connectivity. Due to absence of River Bridge in this stretch, development has
hampered and public face lots of inconvenience to reach the city centre.
 Lack of grade separation at railway crossings: There are various railway junctions crossing through
the city which lack proper grade separation due to which easy movement of traffic has reduced. Some
of the crossings are Daliganj, Bandaria Bagh and Kukrail Nalah.
 Narrow width of internal roads: In the core of the city, the zonal road are very narrow and dense and
development can be seen both the sides. Due to various activities like on street parking, street vending
etc. the effective width of the road has reduced a lot creating heavy congestion.
 High V/C Ratio of Roads: High volume capacity ratio in various corridors in Lucknow involves queuing,
slower speeds and increased travel times, which impose costs on the economy and generate multiple
impacts on urban regions and their inhabitants. Congestion also has a range of indirect impacts
including the marginal environmental and resource impacts of congestion, impacts on quality of life,
stress, and safety as well as impacts on non-vehicular road space users such as the users of sidewalks
and road frontage properties.
 Inappropriate location of bus stands and stations: Bus terminals in Lucknow are located in the
middle of the city creating congestion. Kaiserbagh bus stand is located in the city centre catering to
passengers moving towards Faizabad and Gorakhpur. The buses have to cross through the core city
area in order to move out of the city boundary. Apart from intercity bus services; condition of intra city
bus services is not very favourable in Lucknow. There is absolute lack of basic infrastructure such as
bus parking spaces, bus bays, bus stands, bus depots etc.
 Transport Nagar is located in the south side of the city near Amousi airport which needs to be
relocated to remove truck movement in the city area.
 Parking issue: Due to inadequate off street parking and unorganised on street parking vehicles are
parked along the major roads which resulted into congestion and reduction of travel speed on the roads
particularly during peak hours. As observed by SENES there are many areas require off street parking
spaces namely:
o Charbagh
o Indira nagar
o Latush road
o Chauk area
o Alambagh bus stand
o Patrakarpuram
 Congestion at Major Junctions: Junctions are the major source of congestion and bottleneck in
Lucknow. Major reasons are poor road geometry, lack of pedestrian facility, encroachments, on street
paring, no designated space for IPT etc.
 Lack of traffic enforcement rules: It has been observed at many junctions of the city that traffic rules
are not followed and people break the signals very often.

Lucknow Municipal
Corporation
 Lack of footpath: Only 47% of the roads in Lucknow have footpaths. Most of the footpaths are
encroached by street vendors, electric poles and hoardings.
 Encroachments on roads: Encroachment by street vendors, hawkers, shop keepers, parking lots are
responsible factors for reduction in the effective width of the roads. Most of the major arteries of the city
are congested not only in the peak hours but throughout the day due to encroachments. Some of the

8.6.22 Key factor to Improve Lucknow’s Traffic and Transportation System

Traffic and transportation planning and projects identification for Lucknow city will be based on few principals
governed by existing and proposed system, transport policy and existing constraints. In the following section we
have discussed these principals and their role in planning process.
 Transport Policy: The objective of this policy is to ensure safe, affordable, quick, comfortable, reliable
and sustainable access for the growing number of city residents to jobs, education, recreation and such other
needs within cities. This objective will be achieved by followings measurements:
o Integrated land use and transport planning: Transport planning is intrinsically linked to land use
planning and both need to be developed together in a manner that serves the entire population and yet
minimizes travel needs. Transport plans should, therefore, enable a city to take an urban form that best suits the
geographical constraints of its location and also one that best supports the key social and economic activities of
its residents.
o Priority to use public transport: Not only public transport occupy less road space per passenger, but
also aggregate operating costs, including environmental impacts, are lower. Public transport also serves the
needs of the urban poor, who can be subsidized if the direct fare for the mode is beyond their affordability. To
achieve this objective, public transport and mass transport have to be encouraged, and private modes
discouraged. This can be achieved by:
 Increasing public transport modes (coverage and quality):
 Expansion and improvement of bus systems
 Introduction of new modes such as Metro-Rail, LRT/Monorail systems
 Discouraging private modes:
 Higher costs: initial and operations, including parking
 Congestion on the roads
BRTS Corridor

Lucknow Municipal
Corporation
Mass Rapid Transit System (MRTS)

o Priority to Non-motorized Transport: Non-motorized modes of transport such as bicycles are gradually
losing their importance as they are exposed to a greater risk of accidents as they share a common right of way
with motorized vehicles. However, non-motorized modes are environmentally friendly and have to be given their
due share in the transport system of the city. Safety concerns of cyclists and pedestrians have to be addressed
by encouraging the construction of segregated rights of way for bicycles and pedestrians. Apart from improving
safety, the segregation of vehicles moving at different speeds would help improve traffic flow, increase the
average speed of traffic, and reduce emissions resulting from sub-optimal speeds.
o Use of Cleaner Technologies: Cleaner technologies like CNG, Electric Trolley Buses, and Electric
Vehicles need to be encouraged so that the problem of vehicular pollution can be more effectively dealt with.
Besides, renewable sources need to be tapped as a measure of sustainable development and in recognition of
India‟s energy security concerns.
Cycle Tracks Electric Buses
o Parking Space and Freight Movement: State governments would be required to amend building bye
laws in all million plus cities so that adequate parking space is available for all residents. To enable this, FAR
norms would be made more liberal. Multi-level parking complexes should be made a mandatory requirement in
city centres.
With the expansion of economic activities city population grows, and a substantial amount of freight traffic would
be generated. Facilities for the parking of freight vehicles outside city limits, such as truck terminals, construction
of bypass would be encouraged through public-private partnerships.

Lucknow Municipal
Corporation
 Comprehensive Mobility Plan for Lucknow: Draft Report for City mobility Plan for Lucknow city has been
submitted. The proposals, recommendations and projects identified under Revised CDP also incorporate
the suggestions and projects identified in CMP for Lucknow Planning area.
 Demand Projections for Lucknow: Projects identified in the Revised CDP are based on the population
projections and LMC area extension till 2040. As of now LMC area is 350 sq. km which is going to extend
by 980 sq. km in the coming years. Proposed road network alignment is designed as per the extended area
of Lucknow.
 Existing Constraints and Mitigation Measures in terms of Land Use and Road Network: One of the
basic factors to plan Lucknow‟s transport system will be existing constraints and gaps in the system. There
are many missing links between the roads hampering thorough traffic movement in and around the city
area. While planning the road network this factor has to be considered to facilitate the easy traffic
movement. Most of the major roads in city are encroached by vendors, residents, and shop keepers
resulting into narrowing of the effective width of the roads. There is dense development along the roads
with mixed type of land use. Hence no physical widening is possible, only encroachment can be removed to
widen the roads. These mentioned constraints and gaps will be considered while identifying the projects.
At present, Lucknow has a total of about 8% of land area under traffic and transportation. The share of
transportation is comparatively low than other similar size of town where the share ranges from 15% - 20% of
total area. It has been envisaged that the land under transportation should be increased to 10% by the year 2020
and further increased to 15% by 2040.
In the case of the road sector, the broad strategy which had been put forth in the stakeholder consultation would
have been clubbed under the category of short term requirements and the long term requirements should be
addressed by concerned authorities in phase wise manner. Road development would be based on improvement
in old roads (widening or strengthen), development of new roads and fill the missing links in the current road
network.
Shifting of bus and truck terminals in the outer skirts of the city is another strategy to decongest the old city area
and reduce the traffic burden on inner city roads. Shifting of these facilities would also increase the travel speed
and reduce the numbers of accidents in the city. Construction of Rail Over Bridge/River Bridge/Fly Over/Under
Pass is another major step to decongest the inner city area and provide linkages to the ignored parts of the city.
To provide safe, efficient and cost effective multi modal transportation system accessible to all
the citizens and compatible with future land use of Lucknow.

 ROAD NETWORK
o Road widening: Most of the roads in Lucknow are congested due to narrow width and encroachments.
Widening and strengthing of roads need to be taken up in first phase. Based on Master Plan 2021 and City
Mobility Plans suggestions encroachment removal is required for the following roads (25.44 km):

Inner ring road
Samta mulak chauk to Faizabad road along Kukrail Nallah Approx 1.6 km.
Kapoorthala Road to NH 24 Approx. 1.5 km.
Source: City Mobility Plan
o Development of new city roads: With growing population and expanding municipal area construction
of new roads will be required to develop new patches in the outer skirts of the city area. Based on the
demand projections till 2040 road length to be developed in three phases has been calculated by
SENES. Phase wise road length required is 163 km by 2019-20, 936 km by 2029-30 and 1150 km by
2039-40.
o Ring road system:
 Inner ring road: The inner ring road is proposed to start from NH 25 Ramprasadkhera and
intersects MH 24 B, NH 28 and pass through Hussainganj and Talkatora to facilitate circular
movement in the core city area. The inner ring road should have ROW of at least 30 metres.
 Middle ring road: The middle ring road is proposed from NH 25 at Alambagh, connecting NH
24B on the southern side, NH 56 on the north east side and NH 28 at Faizabad road on the
eastern side. The road further meets MDR 77 C on the northern side and intersects SH 40 and
SH25 on western side. The middle ring road should have minimum of 40m of ROW.
 Outer ring road: A signal free outer ring road is required to provide through traffic movement
in the in the outer part of the city. The ring road can smoothen the general and freight traffic
movement with support of radial roads as well. Master Plan of Lucknow 2021 and City Mobility
Plan also recommend the construction of outer ring road. Total length of the road will be
approximately 89 km With 100 m of ROW. Recently Irrigation Department has recommended
to change the alignment of outer ring road from NH 28 (Faizabad Road) to NH 56 (Jaunpur
Road) along Indira Canal. As per the amendments, new alignment will be constructed along
the Indira Canal (As shown in proposed traffic and transportation map).
o Development of new arterial roads along Haider canal and Kukrail Nallah: The route connecting
Kanpur road, Motilal Nehru Marg, Vidhan Sabha Marg, Ashok Mark and Faizabad Road forms one of the
Lucknow Municipal
Corporation
arterial of Lucknow city and considered as spine of the city. The route passes through large numbers of
government offices and main CBD of Lucknow i.e. Hazrat Ganj, Charbag Railway Station and other
commercial areas. This road is highly congested during peak as well as non-peak hours throughout the
day. An alternative route is required to lessen the burden of this particular road. A route connecting
Haider Canal – M G Road – Lohia Path – Kukrail Nallah joining Faizabad Road becomes parallel and
alternative to the mentioned arterial road. As suggested by CMP of Lucknow, 40% of the traffic will shift
to this new road while reducing the V/C ratio of existing road. This new road will provide connectivity
from Rajajipuram to Hazrat Ganj Directly. The road will become parallel to station road at Charbagh
also. Total length of the road will be approximately 17 km. An elevated corridor can be constructed on
Haider Canal and Kukrail Nallah to decongest the inner city area.
o Development of Bund and Road along Gomti River: Development of bund is required along the
Gomti River in upper steam and lower stream parts in the city area. The proposed bund can be utilised
as 2 to 4 lane road crossing through the city along the river. The proposed road on the bund will be
connected to the existing bund road in the central part of the city area. Total length of the proposed road
along both the banks of the river will be 61 kms.
o Junction Improvement: CMP for Lucknow city suggests improvement of Junctions in city area. Total of
25 junctions have been identified with improvement such as junction geometry, pedestrian signals, road
markings etc. Apart, there are various roundabouts in the city area spread over a large parcel of land
and hampering the traffic movement. Size of these roundabouts need to be reduced as per the norms,
standards and turning radius requirement. The identified junctions are for radius size reduction are
Parivartan Chauk, Tedi Pulia Crossing, Munshipulia Crossing and Polytechnic Crossing. Other crossing
for improvements are as follows:
1. Allahabad Bank Chauraha , 13. Charbagh Tiraha
Hazratganj 14. Chowk Chauraha
2. Novelty Cinema Chowk , 15. Kapoorthala Chauraha
Lalbagh 16. Mayfair Cinema Intersection
3. Kaiserbagh Rotary 17. High Court Intersection
4. Nehru Crossing, Rakabganj 18. Hathi Park Intersection

 PUBLIC TRANSPORT SYSTEM

o Metro Rail: Lucknow Development Authority has proposed Metro Rail in Lucknow. There are two
corridors of Lucknow Metro first north south corridor from Amousi airport to Munshipulia Crossing and
East West Corridor from Vasant kunj to Charbagh Railway Station.
o Local Trains: Lucknow city has a strong base for rail network going through all the directions. Being an
administrative city Lucknow attracts large number of commuters moving to city on daily basis for
employment. The existing rail network can be utilised for local train network to the nearby urban centres.
o Rationalisation of ITP routes: In order to minimise the overlapping of ITP routes with city bus service
routes and to develop ITP to act as feeder service to city bus service, ITP service should be restricted
within the old city area and the peripheral area of the city.
o Development of BRTS System: With rationalisation of ITP routes, frequency of bus service should be
increased and high density bus service should be augmented along Kanpur Road, Faizabad Road,
Lucknow Municipal
Corporation
Sitapur Road and other radial roads. As of now there are no separate lanes for buses in the city. A DPR
for BRTS system in Lucknow should be conducted immediately to support the rapid bus service in the
city.
o Bus depots and terminals: At present there are four Intra City Bus Depots namely Dubagga, Gomti
Nagar, Amousi and Charbagh. In addition, there are two intercity bus depots namely Alambagh and
Kaiserbagh. The Revised CDP of Lucknow proposes the improvement of existing intra city bus stands
and shifting of intercity bus stands to outer part of the city to stop the bus movement in the city area. The
four new bus terminals proposed in the CDP are located at Vijay Khand near Hainiman Chauraha,
Dubagga Hardoi Road, Jankipuram Vistar Yojna and Vrindavan Yojna near Utrathiya Railway Station.
For intra city bus service there is need to set up basic infrastructure such as proper bus waiting areas,
bus stands, bus depots at reasonable distances, parking space for buses etc. In order to make the
system sustainable in longer run it is essential to have adequate support infrastructure and passenger
amenities at strategic locations in city. Some of the key suggestions to improve the services are given
below:
 A bus station below shopping complex/mall/traffic Island.
 Multi story bus station in or near the railway station/metro station/ any other
interchanges.
 A compulsory bus bay in front of a shopping mall, school and colleges.
 Bus station within a radius of 0.5 to 1 km of residential/ commercial / institutional
areas.
o Multi Modal Transit Hub: As suggested by CMP of Lucknow, for multi modal integration a multi modal
transit hub should be developed in Charbagh area. This hub will integrate the existing Charbagh Railway
Station, Bes Terminal and proposed metro system.
o Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) for Public Transport: ITS is an emerging transportation
system which is comprised of an advanced information and telecommunication network for users, roads
and vehicles. ITS is the integrated application of advanced Technologies using electronics, computers,
communications, and advanced sensors. These applications provide travellers with important
information while improving the safety and efficiency of the transportation system. To coordinate
between various modes of transport and manage multi modal ridership, implementation of ITS is
necessary for Lucknow. GPS, data logger facility on public transport vehicles, electronic toll booths,
CCTV camera on all the major roads and junctions, speed camera etc. The implementation of ITS
system will not only improve the existing system but also make the whole system sustainable. Some of
the benefits of ITS are:
 Time Savings
 Better emergency response times and services
 Reduced Crashes and Fatalities
 Cost Avoidance
 Increased Customer Satisfaction
 Energy and Environmental Benefits
 Decreasing of probability of congestion occurrence

 GRADE SEPARATORS
o Railway Over Bridge: Rail lines are radiating at various direction in the city area hence there are
several railway crossings due to which traffic movement is severely affected. Uttar Pradesh Bridge
Corporation is the responsible body for constructing the ROBs. As per the discussion with various
officials, total of 8 ROBs are proposed in Revised CDP of Lucknow at various locations. These ROBs
are proposed on the existing roads and proposed ring road as well.
o River Bridge: River Gomti is crossing through the middle of the city dividing into two parts. Northern
part known as Trans Gomti and Southern part as Cis Gomti and connected via various river bridges.
However all the bridges are available only in the lower stream of Gomti whereas the upper stream does
not have any connecting bridge. Hence to connect the upper stream part of the city and to provide
opportunity for development total of 4 River Bridges are proposed in Revised CDP by SENES.
o Flyovers: Based on the discussion with various officials total of 10 numbers of flyovers are proposed at
various location of Lucknow city. Construction of these flyovers will reduce the traffic burden and
decongest the junctions and radial roads.

Road in front of Hanuman Setu temple has become a botleneck for the daily commuters. Due to heavy flow of
visitors to temple, on road parking and shops in front of the temple traffic jams can be seen for the whole day.
Apart from entrance, parking in front of temple and shops should also be shifted to back side which would
decongest the road and provide through traffic movement. There is urgent need to shift the entrance of the
temple to back side of the temple on bandha road (Birbal sahni road). Constructing of retaining wall is under
process on bandha road which can be utilised to relocate temple facilities in near future.

 DEVELOPMENT OF NON-MOTORISED TRANSPORT

41% of the trips in Lucknow are made by Non-Motorised Transport (NMT). To ensure safe NMT trips, provision of
footpaths, safe pedestrian crossing facility and cycle lanes are proposed in the Revised CDP.
o Footpaths: 17% of the trips are based on walk and 53% of the road network does not have footpaths.
The revised CDP proposes to develop footpaths on all the possible roads to increase the walkability
index and make it safer. As suggested by CMP for Lucknow 280 km of footpath is required in the city.
o Bicycle Lane: 16% of the trips in Lucknow are made by bicycles. To cater these riders and encourage
the trips dedicated bicycle lines should be provided along all the roads. 250 km of cycle track need to be
developed in Lucknow in phase wise manner as per CMP.
o Pedestrian Facility at Intersections: Pedestrian safety is one of the key features need to be addressed
in the transport planning section. As suggested by CMP Lucknow, 15 locations have been identified to
install the pedestrian signals at various crossings namely:
 Novelty Cinema Crossing
 Kaiserbagh Rotary
 Nehru Crossing
 Ganga Prasad intersection, Aminabad
 Nakkas Chauk
 Aminabad Chauk
 Gautam Budha Road Chauraha
 Medical Chauraha
 Daliganj Bridge
 Huseria Crossing
 Engineering Crossing
 Parivartan Crossing
 Chauk Crossing
 Kapoorthala Crossing
 Mithaiwala Intersection
Grade separated facility need to be provided in following areas:
 Charbagh
 Polytechnic Crossing
 Alambagh
 Allahabad Bank Crossing
 Mahanagar
o Cycle Rickshaw Management: Cycle rickshaw play a very important role in catering the large part of
the population for short distance trips. Cycle rickshaw contributes 8% of the total trips. In addition, cycle
rickshaw is the most affordable and eco-friendly mode of transport. Development of modern rickshaw
stands in the city along with basic facilities such as sitting area, fare chart, drinking water, urinals,
rickshaw repair facility etc. All the existing and proposed commercial areas and residential areas should
have one rickshaw stand. This type of facility not only comforts the rickshaw pullers but also decongest
the roads.
o Development of NMT Corridors: The old city areas such as Aminabad, Chauk, Hazrat Ganj, and
Hussainabad are highly congested and encroached by street vendors, on street parking, rickshaw and
three wheelers. Traffic movement in these areas should be segregated. Slow moving traffic should be
promoted in these zones such as cycles, rickshaw, animal cart etc. These areas should be declared
non-motorised zones.
 FREIGHT MANAGEMENT
The proposals and projects identified or freight management plan include improvement of existing transport nagar
and development of new truck terminals and transport nagar in the outer areas of the city along the radial roads.
Improvement of existing Transport Nagar will include segregation of loading unloading lanes, road improvement,

Lucknow Municipal
Corporation
provision of parking bays, weighing machines and public utilities in the first phase i.e. 2014-15 to 2019-20. In the
second and third phase development of two new Truck Terminals at Deva Road and Kursi Road are proposed and
a new Transport Nagar at Faizabad Road is proposed with all the basic amenities.
 DEVELOPMENT OF PARKING SPACES
Lucknow city faces acute shortage of parking space. Lack of off-street parking space has aggravated the situation
leading to on-street parking on almost all the roads. The Revised CDP for Lucknow proposes development of off-
streets parking at various commercial locations of the city area based on the discussion with Traffic Department
and LMC. Areas require parking spaces are, Aminabad, Patrakarpuram, Indira Nagar, Nishatganj, Kaiserbagh,
Medical College, Nakkas Chauk, Aishbagh, Naka Hindola, Kapoorthala, Rakabganj and High Court.
 Street Lights
Availability of street lights in Lucknow is quite good as compared to other cities in Uttar Pradesh. Average distance
between the street lights is 22 meters against the standard of 30 meters however it varies a lot between different
wards. For the year 2040 there is demand of 22,000 street lights in Lucknow. To save the energy and reduce LMC
power bills solar street lights have been proposed here. It is based on solar power along with battery and sensors.
The system stores energy during daytime and illuminate the streets at night. The system is equipped with CFL or
LED lighting fixture for efficient and prolong use. The system will cost around Rs. 12,000 to Rs. 15,000 per solar
lighting system.

Street Lighting -Use of energy efficiency measures & Renewable Energy
Street lighting is a mandatory municipal service obligation of the ULB and can be taken up as an area for
improvement through better supply side management and efficient operative measures.
Supply side management can be achieved by efficient design considering lighting requirement, selection of
suitable luminaries, spacing of streetlight, height of streetlights and use of modern techniques to cut down
wastages.
Some of the operative measures are;

 replacement of old conductors and feeder controls;
 replacement of inefficient technologies with the robust ones like use of metal halide lamps instead
of sodium vapor pressure lamps;
 use of automatically dimming systems (by installing time-of-day switches and electronic timers) in
less critical areas such as parking garages, non-critical streets, warehouses and supermarkets;
 use of solar lighting ; and
 use of solar blinkers/ traffic lights
Upgrading street lighting systems have been supported by agencies at the national and international levels.
Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE), Govt. of India and Indian Renewable Energy
Development Agency (IREDA) are some of the national agencies providing assistance and aid to set up
such energy efficient lighting system. Carbon funding can also be considered as a funding mechanism
which supports such energy conservation projects by rewarding monetary benefits for each ton of carbon
dioxide avoided by reduction of electricity usage by efficient street lighting mechanisms.

10.0 URBAN ENVIRONMENT

10.1 INTRODUCTION
The galloping process of industrialization, urbanization and globalization has brought mounting environmental
problems including climate change, pollution, hazardous waste, smog, loss of bio-diversity and desertification
that pose severe challenges to sustainable development. Lucknow city, now home to Approx 3 million
populations and growing at a rapid pace, and pressing environmental challenges which require governments,
public and private organizations and individuals to take a fresh perspective at how economic and social activities
can best be organized in the existing urban environment. This chapter takes a closer look at the existing
environmental status of various components and to identify the activities and causes for its deterioration, SENES
has made an attempt for preparing a basis for preparation of Environmentally Sustainable City Development Plan
2040 for Lucknow City on the basis of baseline information gathered with regard to resources, environment
quality and services.
10.2 NATURAL BASELINE ENVIRONMENT

10.2.1 Physical Features
Lucknow is situated on the banks of River Gomti in Ganga basin. The city is situated in alluvium plain and Gomti
River the chief geographical feature divides it in to two parts.
10.2.2 Geology
Lucknow lies in Ganga basin with flat alluvial terrain and is covered with thick pile of Quaternary sediments
unconformably overlying the basement of Bundelkhand Granitoids and sedimentary rocks of the Vindhyan
Supergroup. The Quaternary sediments have been classified into Older and Newer Alluvium. The Older Alluvium
is represented by Varanasi Alluvium of Middle to Late Pleistocene age and comprises grey to brown coloured
silt-clay and sand with or without kankar. Lucknow has been placed in the zone of moderate intensity earthquake
(zone III).
10.2.3 Forest Resources
Lucknow district reports a very low proportion of area under forest. The total area under forest (4.66%) is much
less as compared to state average which is around 7%. The forest area is negligible in the district. Shisham,
Dhak, Mahua, Babul, Neem, Peepal, Ashok, Khajur, Mango and Gular trees are grown here. Different varieties of
mangoes specially Dasheri are grown in Lucknow and adjacent to Malihabad sib district and exported to other
countries too. The main crops are wheat, paddy, sugarcane, mustard, potatoes, and vegetables such as
cauliflower, cabbage, tomato, brinjals are grown here. Similarly sunflowers, roses, and marigold are cultivated on
quite a large area of the land. Apart from this many medicinal and herbal plants are also grown here.
10.2.4 Parks and Gardens
Lucknow Municipal Corporation is the major authority for the construction and maintenance of parks and gardens
in Lucknow. Apart, Lucknow Development Authority, Awas Vikas Parishad and Private Developers construct
parks and gardens in the society and colonies which are later on transferred to LMC for maintenance purpose.
Lucknow is rich city in terms of availability of green areas and open areas however due to shortage of
maintaining staff many of the green spaces have turned into barren land. There are 1684 parks and gardens
under LMC jurisdiction with total area of 259 ha. Out of total only 487 parks are in developed stage whereas 825
parks are semi developed, 344 are not developed and rest 28 parks are open area. Some of the key parks in
Lucknow are, Janeshwar Mishra Park, Mussa Bagh Park at Hardoi Road, Hathi Park, Gautam Budha Park, Dr.
Ram Manohar Lohia Park,Sarojni Naidu Park, Dilkhusha Garden and Nimbu Park. Category wise distribution of
parks is given in the Figure 10-1.

10.2.5 Water Resources

10.2.5.1 Surface Water Bodies
Gomti River is the major water body and water supply source in Lucknow with few major water bodies namely
Haider Canal, Kukrail Nallah, Sharda Canal etc. There are around seven ghats along Gomti River in Lucknow
city namely Kudiya Ghat, Shani Mandir Area, Gau Ghat, Karounda Ghat, Brahma Rishi Deveraha Ghat, Baikunth
Dham Ghat, hanuman Setu and Visarjan Ghat. These ghats are located at various places in total 20 km stretch
of Gomti River in Lucknow. Apart, there are few natural ponds and other water bodies in Lucknow as given in the

10.2.5.2 Ground Water Resource
Around 85% of the land-area of Lucknow City is situated on the Central Ganga alluvial plain, and stretches
across both banks of the Gomti River which is an entirely lowland river naturally dependent on groundwater
discharge for its dry-weather flow. Lucknow city, resting on a rich alluvial aquifer system of Central Gang plain, is
a glaring example of „Hydro geological Stress‟, where pressure on ground water for drinking water supplies has
increased manifold and this has resulted into its continuous & excessive withdrawals. As such the aquifers from

Lucknow Municipal
Corporation
the dynamic zone have alarmingly depleted, leading to significant lowering of water table in different parts of the
city. Since last 2 decades, the city is witnessing widespread exploitation of ground water and such abstractions
have reached to a point where the geoscientists of Central Ground Water Board have projected possible threat of
land-subsidence in some prominent localities of the city in next 10-20 years. The top Aquifer Group (<150mbgl)
of the city is presently under High Stress. The granular zone of this dynamic aquifer is gradually drying up,
causing almost irreversible damage to ground water domain of this capital city of the state.
The trend of ground water exploitation in Lucknow shows continuous rise in resource withdrawals. Construction
of drinking water tube wells to meet water demand of this growing urban agglomerate had started in early 70‟s
and till the year 1985 about 70 tube wells were operating. Now, this number of tube wells, under the control of
Lucknow Jal Kal (LMC), has gone up as 470 or even more (almost 7 times increase). Apart from this, as the
citizen‟s tendency to have an alternative and secured water supply, private tube well construction activity in the
city has almost mushroomed, causing intensive & unregulated extractions which is yet to be assessed. Although,
there have been no systematic ground water studies, but as per preliminary estimates, the gross ground water
withdrawal in the city (extending over an area of 350 sq. km.) from both the municipal & private drinking water
systems as well as from other sectors is very high and at present, this withdrawal may be tentatively taken as
550 million liters per day (MLD).

10.3 URBAN ENVIRONMENT QUALITY

10.3.1 Air Quality
10.3.1.1 Sources and Level of Air Pollution
The transport, domestic and industrial sectors are the major contributors to the rise in ambient air pollution levels.
The prime source of PM10 (particulate matter) is the increasing numbers of vehicles in the city. This is one of the
major concerns for air pollution. The number of different categories of vehicles registered with RTO (Regional
Transport Office) Lucknow is 14,24,478 as on 31.03.2013 which is 8.35% higher over the last year.

10.3.2 Water Quality

10.3.2.1 Source of Water Pollution
As per the information available from Jal Nigam department, Lucknow 100% of the sewage is being treated in
two STPs. However as per the visual surveys done by SENES it has been observed that due to maintenance
and infrastructure issues untreated sewage is flowing towards Gomti River and polluting the water. Discharge of
untreated sewage into the storm water drains and Gomti River is responsible for high level of Biochemical
Oxygen Demand (BOD) and Dissolved Oxygen (DO). Apart from sewage discharge, other non-point source of
pollution are presence of dhobi ghats along the banks, presence of illegal construction along the ghats, puja
samagri dumping into the river etc.
Picture 10-3: River Gomti

Lucknow Municipal

10.3.2.2 Levels of Water Pollution

As discussed in the earlier chapter for drainage system in Lucknow, there are 26 major drains which carry storm
water drain as well as sewage together and discharge the water into Gomti River. Before the discharge point
these drains are tapped and diverted to Sewerage Treatment Plants for treating the waste water. The process is
handled by Jal Nigam. Table 10-4 and Table 10-5 present the quantity received at Daulatganj and Bharwara
STP and water quality monitoring data of influent and effluent. BOD (Biological Oxygen Demand) levels of
effluent from STPs are showing positive trend and are below 30 mlg/lt of permissible limit. DO (Dissolved
Oxygen) level is higher than the permissible limit of 5 mlg.lt

10.3.3 Noise Pollution

10.3.3.1 Source of Noise Pollution
Key sources of noise pollution are traffic, industries and flights. In Lucknow major source of noise pollution is
traffic in residential and commercial areas. Noise pollution levels vary at day and night times due to activity
pattern. Details of day and night time noise pollution are provided in further section.
10.3.3.2 Source of Noise Pollution
In residential areas, the day and night time noise levels were recorded between 63.8 to 68.3 and 56.2 to 60.3
dB(A) respectively. All the values were higher than the prescribed limit of 55 and 45 dB (A) for day and night time
respectively. In commercial area, the day and night time noise level were recorded between 66.8 to 69.5 and
55.9 to 67.4 dB(A) respectively. Noise level at all the commercial sites during day and night time were found
above the prescribed limit of 65 and 55 dB (A) respectively. In industrial area Amausi, the day and night time
noise levels were recorded 71.5 and 66.3 dB (A) respectively. Noise levels at all industrial locations in the day
and night time was found below the prescribed limit of 75.0 and 70.0 dB(A) respectively.

10.3.4 Soil Pollution

Apart from air and noise pollution, soil pollution is another critical issue which needs to be handled. Disposal of
municipal solid waste in Lucknow is being done in an unscientific manner. Waste is dumped in open grounds at
various places of the city without any segregation. These places are prone to soil and ground water pollution for
the surrounding locations. Waste dumping at those places is taking place since last three decades which leads to
leachate formation and contamination of the ground water.
10.4 EXISTING ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATIONS

U.P Pollution Control Board is a statutory organization entrusted to implement Environmental Laws and rules
within the jurisdiction of the state of Uttar Pradesh
Functions of the board:
The following are the major functions being carried out by the U.P. Pollution Control Board in exercise of the
duties conferred on it under the Water Act, 1974; Water cess Act, 1977; Air Act, 1981; and Environment
Protection Act, 1986.
 Issue of No Objection Certificates from the environmental pollution point of view including adequacy of
the site from the environmental angle.
 Issue of Consent under provisions of section 25/26 of the Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution)
Act, 1974.
 Issue of Consent under provisions of section-21 of the Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act,
1981.
 Assessment and collection of Water Cess, under provision of Water (Prevention and Control of
Pollution) Cess Act, 1977.
 Identification and assessment of industrial and municipal pollution sources and control thereof.
 Assessment of ambient air quality.
 Assessment of quality of inland surface waters.
 Mass awareness programmes.
 Notification of effluent and emission standards.
 Development of Pollution Control technologies.
 Instituting legal action against defaulters.
 Issue of Authorization under the Hazardous Waste Management Rule, 1989.
 Identification of isolated storages, onsite crisis management plans etc. under the Manufacture, Storage
and Import of Hazardous Chemicals Rules, 1989.
 Implementation of Biomedical Waste Rules, 1998.
 Environment Protection Act of 1986 is one such measure taken by Government of India. This act
empowers the Central Government to establish authorities with the mandate of preventing
environmental pollution in all its forms and to tackle specific environmental problems that are peculiar to
different parts of the country.
 As per Twelfth schedule (Article 243 W) clause 8 of the Constitution of India, it is mandatory for all
Municipal Corporations to protect the environment & promotion of ecological aspects. Thus as a
regulatory and controlling authority for the development of the cities, the Municipal Corporations have to
play major role in this scenario.
 The Uttar Pradesh Pollution Control Board implements a range of environmental legislation in the state
of Uttar Pradesh mainly responsible for:

10.5 INITIATIVE TAKEN FOR URBAN ENVIRONMENT IMPROVEMENT

 Gomti River Front Development: To conserve the Gomti River and beautify the banks, DPR for Gomti
River Front Development is being prepared by a private consultant. Lucknow Development Authority is the
nodal agency for the implementation works. The work will cover 12 km of stretch in Lucknow city however
initially only 1.7 km of the stretch will be taken up in first phase. The stretch will cover river bank from Hanuman
Setu to Daliganj Pucka Pul. The beautification of whole of the stretch will cost around Rs.400 Crores. Between
Hanuman Setu and Daliganj Bridge, LDA plans to build „Awadh Hat‟ –an art and exhibition centre which would
have stalls showcasing Lucknow‟s handicraft. There is also a proposal to erect an iconic structure „Lucknow
Eye‟ of about 70-80 metres on the patterns of London Eye on the riverbank. Near Shaheed Smarak, a hanging
bridge would be suspended across the river for pedestrians. In front of Mankameshwar Mandir, a small pond
would be created on the river bank for idol immersion and other rituals. Since idols contain chemicals they
pollute the river. The pond would be separated from the river and its water would be released in the river only
after thorough cleaning. Graphical representation of the proposed scheme is shown in Figure 10-13.
FIGURE 10-13: FIRST PHASE OF GOMTI RIVER FRONT DEVELOPMENT

Corporation
As a pilot project for river front development, Kudiya Ghat along Gomti was developed in the year 2002. It has
become a famous tourist spot of Lucknow and known as city‟s marine drive. Number of tourist can be seen
here every day.
Picture 10-4: Kudiya Ghat Development along Gomti River
 Rain Water Harvesting: Promotion of Rain Water Harvesting has been one of the key sectors taken up in
Master Plan 2021. The master plan says, to conserve and recharge the ground water in urban areas all
the water bodies with 1 acre or more than 1 acre of land area will be protected irrespective of the land use
shown in master plan. Appropriate provisions should be made to conserve these water bodies in master
plan, zonal plan and layout plan. All the details regarding the water bodies should be provided in the plan
including location, area, etc. Apart from this initiative, rain water harvesting is also being promoted in
developed areas by constructing recharge pits near the buildings. Rain water falling on the roof is
collected through pipelines and discharged into the recharge pit. The process increases the ground water
level in and around the area. It has also been made mandatory that buildings with more than 300 sq. m of
area have to have rain water harvesting system.
 Use of Non-Renewable Energy: Use of solar power in Lucknow has been promoted in recent years in
form of solar panels, solar cookers, solar water heater, solar power based signals etc. Subsidy from
central government is also provided for solar heaters. Uttar Pradesh Government has also formulated
Solar Power Policy 2013 to promote the use of solar energy.

11.0 DISASTER MANAGEMENT PLAN

Disaster is an unexpected event due to sudden failure of the system, external threats, internal disturbances,
earthquakes, fire and accidents. An efficient communication system is absolutely essential for the success of any
disaster management plan. Preventive action would be worked out in consultation with local authorities involving
police, fire and hospital department. There are potential disasters the city might face like Fire, Flood and
Earthquakes etc. especially in the congested areas. The dynamics of change in urban settlements due to large
scale population has led to the evolution of mixed land use, growth of industries, high population density,
increasing poverty and lack in urban basic amenities.
For planning and coordination of Disaster Management Activities in India, a High Powered Committee (HPC)
on Disaster Management was constituted with the approval of the Prime Minister under the Chairmanship of
Shri J.C. Pant, a former Secretary to the Government of India in August 1999.
Though the original mandate of the HPC was confined to preparation of plans for natural disaster, man-made
disasters like accidents, industrial and chemical accidents, biological disasters, etc. were included to ensure a
holistic approach for preparation of Disaster Management Plans.
The HPC constituted 5 sub-groups to develop detailed history of each type of disaster and the type of plans
of actions needed to have the most effective preparedness, response and recovery strategies for each type
of disaster. The five sub-groups were on:
 Water & Climate related hazards
 Geological hazards
 Industrial, Chemical and nuclear hazards
 Accidents
 Biological Hazards
Hazard Vulnerability in UP
 Approx. 27 lakh hectares affected annually due to Floods
 In the recent years, the year 2002, & 2004 were severe in terms of drought, with loss to crop,
livestock and property assessed at Rs.7540 Crores and Rs. 7292 Crores respectively.
 The Tarai belt districts of UP and entire districts of Saharanpur, Muzaffarnagar, Bagpat, Bijnor,
Meerut, Ghaziabad, Gautambuddh Nagar, JP Nagar, Rampur, Moradabad, Bulandshahr in western
UP are in the Earthquake High Damage Risk Zone-IV
11.1 POTENTIAL HAZARD ASSESSMENT FOR LUCKNOW

11.1.1 Seismicity
According to the IS 1893 Part I, 2002, the Uttar Pradesh state has been sub-divided into three earthquake
damage risk zones. Lucknow city falls under moderate damage risk zone. This makes Lucknow a comparatively
safe city with respect to earthquake incidents. Uttar Pradesh map on all three damage risk zones with location
Lucknow city is shown in Figure 11-1.

11.1.2 Flood Prone Areas

The areas along Gomti River are prone to water logging incidents every year. Perhaps the city faced last
disastrous flood in the year 1960. In 1960 Lucknow recorded its highest flood level at 113.2 metres with large
parts of the City being inundated. To protect the habitations earthen embankments were constructed all along the
bank of the river as well as on Kukrail to a top level of 114.4 metres. In the flood of 1960, the waters back-flowed
through these drains into large parts of the City and during the construction of embankments sluice gates on the
barrels were installed for discharge of drains during normal weather and stopping back flow during floods. When
river water level rises to the drain invert levels, these gates are closed so that no back flow occurs. In case of
heavy rain and floods, the pumping stations pump storm water across the embankment into the river so as to
prevent water logging in the City. The embankment and the flood pumping station are almost 25 to 30 years old
and in this period no serious flooding has occurred. Local water logging does occur in some localities during
rains but on the whole, the city is well drained. In some small stretches, the embankment is not yet complete and
may be the cause for flooding in some localities in case of high floods in the river.
11.1.3 Fire Incidents
While it is difficult to predict and prevent natural hazards, manmade hazards can be avoided or mitigated through
preventive actions. Lucknow‟s vulnerability to fire hazard is likely to increase with increasing population density
and as the urban fabric becomes denser, chances of fire incidences would also increase. Minor industrial fires
and domestic fires as well as cases of electrocution have been happening in Lucknow. Fire and emergency
services of Lucknow are in the process of upgrading their capacities as per the NDMA standards. 26% of the
Lucknow population living in slum area is more vulnerable to fire accidents due to high density and use of
inflammable material in house construction.
11.1.4 Road accidents
Lucknow displays tremendous stress on the roads due to very high traffic densities. Road accidents are quite
common in certain densely populated areas as well as astride the highways. As per the statistics compiled by
Lucknow Traffic Department number of fatalities in road mishaps in the city are 400 to 500 in one year.

Corporation
11.2 GOVERNMENT LEVEL INITIATIVES

11.2.1 Uttar Pradesh Disaster Management Authority
Section 18 and 19 of the Disaster Management Act, 2005 mandates the State Disaster Management Authority
(SDMA) with certain powers and functions.
11.2.2 Disaster Management Cell
The Disaster Management Cell (DMC) of the State of Uttar Pradesh is located in the UP Academy of
Administration & Management. The Cell functions as the nodal agency for Human Resource Development in the
State, in the area of Disaster Mitigation and Response. It networks with DMCs of other States, State Institute of
Rural Development, Training Organizations set-up by other Departments, national NGOs and Community-based
Organizations (CBOs) involved in the field of Disaster Management.
Recently the State Government has decided to assign two key Training Institutions namely, U.P. Academy of
Administration & Management (UPAAM) and State Institute of Rural Development (SIRD) to undertake capacity -
building for specific disasters. The training and skills up-gradation for management of disasters which occur
predominantly in urban areas viz Nuclear, Biological, Radiological and Chemical (NBRC), as also fires and
earthquake, have been assigned to the UPAAM. The SIRD, will handle capacity building for disasters like Floods,
Droughts and Epidemics.
11.3 PREVENTIVE, MITIGATION AND PREPAREDNESS MEASURES

11.3.1 Preventive& Mitigation Measures
The city‟s risk needs to be reduced by way of building up certain capacities and adopting certain measures. The
preventive measures involve passive methods as well as active methods. The passive methods include the
surveillance, warning, evacuation regimes while the active methods are like slope restoration, relocation of
certain localities, security measures etc. In the mitigation framework, there are certain non-structural measures
and some structural measures.
Type of Hazard Mitigation Measures as per State Disaster Management Plan

12.0 HERITAGE AND TOURISM

12.1 INTRODUCTION
Lucknow is known for its rich history and culture – manifest not just in its many magnificent monuments but an
intrinsic part of its lifestyle. While the city has archaeological remains dating back to 3000 BC, the first
documented reference to Lucknow is from the thirteenth century when Emperor Akbar divided the Mughal
Empire into twelve provinces and chose Lucknow as the seat of Government for Oudh - the most prosperous
province of the empire. In the late 18th century, the Shia Nawabs of Lucknow built several imposing structures,
commercial and trading centres that increased the grandeur and opulence of the city. At the time of the first war
of independence in 1857, the city suffered a lot of damages and the old past was replaced with new
developments during the British period. After independence the city experienced tremendous growth and the
distinct “Lucknow” culture – composite, refined, rich and vibrant is slowly disappearing. While there are many
magnificent monuments symbolising the glorious past of the city, the following are the better-known monuments.
There are two authorities looking after the conservation of heritage sites in Lucknow namely Archaeological
Survey of India and State Archaeological Department, Uttar Pradesh. There are in total 63 key monuments in

12.2 INVENTORY OF KEY HERITAGE AND TOURISM SITES

Lucknow is a destination, rich in tourism assets, site-based infrastructure, cultural and historical heritage living in
monuments and traditions, including important historical events and possesses the added advantage of being
the state capital. Lucknow‟s heritage structures can be categorised under various heads such as forts, kothis,
monuments, open spaces, gardens etc. most of the structures are located along the Gomti river in the core area
of the city with heavy population density. Out of hundreds of monuments and heritage buildings only 63
monuments are protected by ASI and State Archaeological Department Uttar Pradesh while rest are not
protected by any of the authority. Given below is the list of some of the key protected and non-protected
structures, parks, monuments in Lucknow.

12.2.4 Excursions
Kukrail is a crocodile sanctuary. On the outskirts of Lucknow, it also houses a large number of deer, birds and
other animals which can be seen in their natural habitat.
Nawabganj Bird Sanctuary - 43 km from Lucknow, on the Lucknow-Kanpur Highway, the Nawabganj Bird
Sanctuary is a seasonal home of rare Siberian migratory birds. Some of the birds that make their way across the
continent to get here are pigeons, the common teal, pochard, shoveler, purple moor hen and parakeet. The best
season to spend a few days here is between October and March.
Dewa Sharief - A shining example of Hindu-Muslim unity, Deva Sharief, 25 km from Lucknow, is a religious
shrine. The tomb of Syed Haji Waris Ali Shah is here. During the months of October and November, the Deva
Mela is held, which attracts thousands of devotees from all over the country.
Dudhwa National Park - The thick sal forests and grassy lowlands -- typical Terai landscape -- of Dudhwa
National Park is home to unusual animal species. The Sarda River meanders along the border of this park and
the Neora and Sohel River run through creating slushy marshland frequented by the swamp deer. Situated 238
km from Lucknow in the North Lakhimpur-Kheri district, this national park's star attraction is the Royal Bengal
tiger. About 100 tigers are believed to still roam in this region. The Indian rhino was also introduced here to save
it from extinction. Leopards, elephants, bears, gharial, crocodile, and spotted deer inhabit the thick forests too.

12.4 AUTHORITIES RESPONSIBLE FOR HERITAGE AND TOURISM IN LUCKNOW

Uttar Pradesh comprises a rich archaeological heritage characterised by a consistent continuity of human activity
from the Palaeolithic to modern times. This is evidenced by thousands of sites, remains, and monuments of
archaeologically distinct periods in almost every part of the state. They represent various facets of history, art
and architecture, language and trade, associated with those times. Statutorily only those sites and remains fall
within the definition of ancient sites and remains which have been in existence for more than hundred years.
They include the sites or remains of ancient monuments, such portions of land adjoining the site, which may be
required for fencing or covering in order to preserve such them and also the means of access to and convenient
inspection of such monument. The responsibility for their protection and conservation is primarily vested with the
Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) and State Archaeological Directorate.
12.4.1 Archaeological Survey of India
The Archaeological Survey of India (ASI), under the Ministry of Culture, is the premier organization for the
archaeological researches and protection of the cultural heritage of the nation. Maintenance of ancient
monuments and archaeological sites and remains of national importance is the prime concern of the ASI.
Besides, it regulates all archaeological activities in the country as per the provisions of the Ancient Monuments
and Archaeological Sites and Remains Act, 1958 as amicable under AM & ASR (Amendment & Validation Act
2010). It also regulates Antiquities and Art Treasure Act, 1972.
For the maintenance of ancient monuments and archaeological sites and remains of national importance, the
entire country is divided into 24 Circles. The organization has a large workforce of trained archaeologists,
conservators, epigraphists, architects and scientists for conducting archaeological research projects through its
Circles, Museums, Excavation Branches, Prehistory Branch, Epigraphy Branches, Science Branch, Horticulture
Branch, Building Survey Project, Temple Survey Projects and Underwater Archaeology Wing.
ASI Lucknow Circle:
Lucknow circle of Archaeological Survey of India was created on May 13th, 1985 by the bifurcating the parts of

12.9 HERITAGE AND TOURISM ISSUES IN LUCKNOW

 Dilapidated condition of structures: Many of the heritage structures are in dilapidated condition.
Washed out walls, broken structures and faded embroidery.
 Unavailability of infrastructure and services: There is absolute lack of proper drainage and
sewerage system in the residential areas around the heritage structures. Lack of facilities like eating
joints and organized retail spaces near the monuments.
 Absence of monitoring: There is no authority or officials from LMC responsible for timely monitoring of
the heritage structures.
 Haphazard development: Unplanned and unorganised development can be seen around various
monuments in Lucknow. At many places slum development can be observed. As per the master plan
and zoning regulations there are restriction on building height and distance from the structures however,
it does not seem to follow in whole of the city area.
 Demarcation of heritage zones: Apart from heritage structures under ASI and SAD, there are
numerous building and structures more than 100 years old which need to be protected and conserved.
Aminabad and Chauk are the oldest areas in Lucknow full of such structures which are in dilapidated
condition due to ignorance.
 Lack of promotional activities: There is lack of promotional activities in Lucknow to conserve and
protect the heritage structure and values. Resident of the city are not even aware of the importance of
culture and heritage of city.

Lucknow Municipal
Corporation
 No promotion for local art and craft: Not only heritage, Lucknow‟s local art and craft like Zardosi,
Terracotta work is also famous and more than century old. No measurements have been taken to
preserve or promote the local workers engaged in these activities.
 Lack of awareness among public: People visiting the monument or staying in the surrounding area
are not concern to save the heritage of the city. Littering within the premises of the heritage structure
can be seen.
 Absence of local area plan or zonal plan: There is only master plan available to govern the
development of the city. No zonal level or local area level plans are available. There is need to prepare
local area plans to identify the issues and meet need at micro level.
 Absence of heritage cell in LMC: There is no cell or department in LMC to look after the conservation
of heritage structures in Lucknow. Due to absence of any authority it is not possible to keep the track on
the buildings and structures not coming under ASI and SAD list.
 No proper documentation of heritage structures: No proper documentation or inventory is available
which list down all the heritage structures in Lucknow.
 Encroachments of Monuments: As per the discussion with the officials and visual observation most of
the monuments are encroached by people. Maximum encroachments are residential followed by
commercial and institutional. Some of the monuments are Imambaras, Asafi Masjid, Hussainabad
Picture Gallery, and Rauza-e-Kazmain etc.
 Ownership of the monument: All the protected monuments are owned by private trust or some
religious body however ASI is responsible only to protect the structure. Involvement of multi-level
agencies leads to conflict in the renovation and redevelopment works.
 Absence of zonal bylaws: Development control norms and building regulations available in Master
Plan and ASI documents apply to whole of the city however there have been drastic changes varies
from area to area. It is not justified to apply same architectural norms and development regulation for all
the areas.

HERITAGE CELL
Case Study - Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation: Concerned with the rapid decline of cultural heritage resources,
Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation with the help of Ford Foundation, New Delhi undertook a study in 1985 to initiate
policies for the better preservation of heritage of Ahmedabad. Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC) invited The
Conservation and Research of Urban Traditional Architecture (CRUTA) Foundation, Calcutta for helping it to take
measures to arrest decay and preserve the city‟s heritage in 1996. The AMC with the expert assistance from CRUTA had
set up a Heritage Cell with in the Municipal Corporation in 1996. Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation is the first local self-
government body in India which has taken the initiative to devise the Heritage Programme and implement a
comprehensive plan for the conservation and revitalization of the old city. The idea behind establishing the Heritage Cell
with in the Municipal Corporation was to educate and create heritage awareness not only within the municipal system,
but also amongst the local communities at large. The Heritage Cell, AMC took up the role of Catalyst, educator,
facilitator and co-ordinator in carrying out heritage programmes including strategic intervention with interested N.G.Os,
professional and voluntary agencies. The heritage cell at AMC succeeded in introducing a bye-law in the General
Development Control Regulations prohibiting listed heritage property from being pulled down without prior permission.
This eventually saved many structures in and around the walled city. Community participation was recognized as a major
method to convey the entire idea at a much larger scale and ensure popular support. A series of activities were
organized to elicit community participation and ensure that people take pride in their surroundings and are involved in
conservation efforts.

Lucknow Municipal
Corporation
Their involvement must be assured at all stages. In Ahmedabad, this was ensured by constantly appraising
them and inviting them for various heritages, cultural functions. Apart from creating increased public
awareness through a variety of educational programmes about the heritage and ensuring their participation in
preservation, revival efforts the Heritage Cell, Ahmedabad has been undertaking a number of conservation,
restoration projects comprising various kinds of heritage structures such as Wooden Havelis, Pol Houses,
City Gates, Bird Feeders, Fortification Wall, Temple complexes and up gradation of ambiance of monuments
etc. The citizens, Authorities, Media, NGO‟s and Everybody is supporting the cause of heritage revival in
Ahmedabad and the future of the past looks brighter than ever before.

13.0 CITY VISION

The capital city Lucknow is dynamic metropolitan growing with fast pace with its rich heritage, culture and
administrative controls. Having rich culture Lucknow has strong socio economic fabric pronounced throughout
the city. Various infrastructure development projects are under process in Lucknow by Lucknow Municipal
Corporation and other Para statal agencies. Some of the key projects are Lucknow Metro, Development of
Parking spaces, green areas, River Front Development etc.
Perceiving a vision for a city is a vital aspect since it guides the key stakeholders to orient the city‟s development
in the direction leading to the fulfilment of the aspirations of the population at large along with improving the
quality of life of the citizens. A vision is a statement concerning what the town wishes to achieve within a given
timeframe and is often expressed in terms of clear expectations. It defines the potential of the town besides
reflecting its unique attributes in terms of comparative and competitive advantages, values and preferences of
the town‟s residents, relationship of the town to the state, national and global economies, and of course, the
history and physical characteristics of the town.
13.1 FORMULATION OF THE CITY VISION

After completing a rapid assessment of the town‟s infrastructure, physical and environmental aspects and
institutional and financial status, a consultative process was started with the Officials of Lucknow. Various
workshops have been organised with LMC and other stakeholders who took active participation in forming the
vision for the city and sectoral goals. The workshop held served to explain the information about the city and its
infrastructure and also the purpose of the CDP, the ownership of the plan and the need for establishing and
strengthening partnerships to leverage LMC‟s role in facilitating economic growth and improving quality of life.
These workshops focused on highlighting the current status of all the services provided by the various
departments of LMC and the key issues confronting each department. The consultations held so far were
concluded with a visioning workshop with stakeholders. LMC officials and the stakeholders together carried out
the visioning exercise at this workshop.
In the CDP, vision is developed through a process which involves inputs from all the stakeholders like common
citizens, slum dwellers, elected members and NGOs. CDP become a medium to integrate all the views and
inputs to formulate vision for the city. This city vision, which is on a large scale, then filters down to devise the
individual sectoral goals. Finally these sectoral goals are the apparatus to achieve the final vision of the city in
future.
It is important to understand that a city's vision cannot change drastically in a short span of 6 years but the major
criteria which plays a major role in the formulation of the vision of a CDP is the bound time line. As already
discussed visions can be both short term and long term. Hence in the current exercise the part of vision
formulation becomes as important as the previous one. The changes in the vision after a short span of time is
usually very nominal if compared to the scale of the vision formulated for a city. A vision which is a very short
term can observe a change after the completion of its time period. The change in a short term vision can be the
result of achievement or conclusion of a project which was important for the change in the city's scenario. Hence
the change in a short term vision is quite possible in a time span of 5-6 years. Usually these short term visions
are more related to the different sectoral visions which trickle down from the sectoral goals and objectives.
According to previous CDP “One of the most liveable cities in India where every citizen enjoys a high
quality of life and access to basic services and amenities, and where local culture, crafts and heritage
are preserved and promoted. A city with a dynamic economy driven by service sectors such as
knowledge-based education, health, tourism, and information technology that provides opportunities for
all and makes it an attractive investment destination”.

Lucknow Municipal
Corporation
The above vision statement forms the base of the vision statement for the current CDP-2040 as even to the
current year the goals and projects which were to be fulfilled and completed are on-going. Consequently it
becomes the responsibility of the consultant to keep the previous CDP's city vision as the foundation of the new
CDP-2040. Even the stakeholders are in consensus with the idea of continuation of the previous city as the
current CDP's city vision. Hence it is a very valid step to keep the current CDP's - 2040 city visions on the same
lines of the previous CDP's (2006-12) city vision.

14.3 STATUS OF URBAN REFORMS IN LUCKNOW11

In recent times, several initiatives have been taken by GoI and GoUP to a) improve infrastructural facilities and
help to create durable public assets and quality oriented services in cities & towns; b) enhance public private
partnership in infrastructural development; and, c) promote planned integrated development of towns and cities.
A key aspect in achieving the aforementioned goals is improvement in urban governance and service delivery.
The underlying objective of most of the recent initiatives is to make ULBs financially sound and enable them to
undertake new projects.
The main thrust of the revised strategy of urban renewal is to ensure improvement in urban governance so that
Urban Local Bodies (ULBs) and Parastatal agencies become financially sound with enhanced credit rating and
ability to access market capital for undertaking new programmes and expansion of services. In this improved
environment, public private participation models for provisioning of various services would also become feasible.
11 Monitoring of urban reforms at state and ULB level is under process by a private consultant CRISIL Ltd. Scoring provided with all the
reforms provide current status of the implementation.

14.4 KEY ISSUES

 Involvement of multidisciplinary organisation: Involvement of various organisations in one sector is
one of the key issues in whole of the institution system in Lucknow. In water supply and sewerage
sector various institutions are involved for construction and implementation e.g. Jal kal, Jal Nigam, LDA
and UPAVP. Each of the organisation works as per their own set of standards and rule. There are no
particular rules or guidelines to be followed. Most of the times organisations are not aware of the work
executed by other organisation.
 Lack of description of roles and responsibilities of various departments: Uttar Pradesh Nagar
Nigam Act 1959 defines the functions of municipal authorities. All the obligatory functions and
discretionary functions are properly listed down by this Act, but the exhaustive list of various functions to
be performed by different departments is not discussed in the act. This this can be made necessary to
extensively list down the roles and responsibilities of various departments present at all level that is the
Corporation, Zone and Ward. If the functions are listed down according to the different departments
then it becomes clear for each of them about their functioning. The best use of this can be put to avoid
the overlapping of functions of different department and to allocate the funds for the functions listed
down in the prescribed department.
 Lack of interdepartmental integration: It has also been observed that there is a lack in the inter-
departmental integration of functions and services. There is an absolute necessity of horizontal
integration of various departments present in the corporation. The vertical integration of the departments
works well within the respective departments but only at the level it is performed that is at Corporation
level, Zonal level, Ward level. This compartmentalization of departments leads to lagging horizontal
linking between the departments creating gap in the data sharing and discrepancy in the clear cut role
of each department. The linear flow of information and data from one department to another gets
hampered and even if there is any flow of information, it is not smooth.

Lucknow Municipal
 Lack of central data platform: Due to the lack of interdepartmental integration, a void is created in the
data structuring and data sharing related to existing service levels and future projects to be taken up,
among the departments, which obstructs the performance of service delivery by various departments.
 Lack of performance monitoring: There is no system for performance monitoring and incentives for
the human resources of LMC.

accountability, overall efficiency and required transparency”

14.7 RECOMMENDATIONS
Lucknow` being capital city and administrative headquarter need strong governance structure and ensuring
quality public service and accessibility to citizens.
 Activity mapping
There is has no step as yet undertaken the so-called “activity mapping” for municipal departments that would be
necessary to identify precisely who is responsible for doing exactly what with sufficient clarity to achieve
efficiency and accountability in the provision of urban local services. It is necessary to prepare an exhaustive list
of all the obligatory and discretionary functions of each department which is functioning in the corporation. In
addition to functional earmarking within the Corporation, there is grave requirement of bringing in clarity of taking
up responsibilities in coherence with the Parastatal bodies, hence, to avoid discrepancies each departmental
head of LMC should conduct discussions with the parallel agency responsible for the overlapping function to
design the authority and accountability matrix and organizational structure with clearly defined roles and
responsibilities in form of a charter that helps both the administrative employees and users.
 Creation of Central Data Bank
To avoid disagreements and overlapping in the data sets, where by increasing the efficiency and accountability
of the Corporation along with bringing transparency amongst the departments. Development of central data pool
should be mandatory step to be taken by the Corporation. This will not only create a common platform for all the
departments to effectively use it in their day to day functioning but also will be a cost saving tool in the long run.
There is an urgent requirement of up-linking all the departments with each other so that they can effectively pool

Lucknow Municipal
their data on a central data base linked to each department. This can further be utilized by all the departments
with a very high security clearance so as to avoid misuse of data and data theft.
 Up-gradation of technology and its use
At present after the upcoming of e-governance various functions have been computerized and they are carried
out effectively. The working, evaluation, allocation of a project is all done using the advanced technology but
when it comes to actual tracking of the physical work done on the site, the technology takes a back seat. There is
lack of monitoring of the actual work which is done physically on the site. The daily updates of the project have to
be updated in the central system at the priority basis so that the actual development of a project is shared to all
the departments. This not only keeps a check on the pace of the project but also adds on to the transparency of
the project where a high quality of work is ensured.
 Introduction of new technology
Nowadays various new technologies are present which are very helpful in improving the capacity of the
corporation of a high quality of governance. The introduction of GIS teamed with SDI (Spatial Data Infrastructure)
can lead to a high level of transparency in the governance system. By SDI a central data platform can be created
where all the daily functioning of a department can be up-linked to the central data base which can be made
ready to share on an inter-departmental level with the high precautionary security clearance. According to this
whenever a new update is up-linked to the central data base, it gives the information about the work to all the
departments. This makes all the departments aware of all the work going on at the real site. This will also give
the freedom to the other department to have a chance to increase the knowledge base of the other departments.
This technology can be used greatly to introduce transparency in the system where everybody will know about
the daily works of all the departments.
 Performance Evaluation
In order to maintain a high quality of service deliverance it is important for the corporation to periodically evaluate
its own performance using a common evaluation scale and reporting structure. The introduction of performance
tracking mechanism for the officials is as important as the tracking and monitoring of the projects and services.
The daily update of any official to the central data base will not only increase the interaction between the zonal
officers and central head-quarter but also will keep the performance and promptness at its par. The portal will
allow the system to keep a check on itself on a performance based index and will automatically keep them
responsible and liable under the central vigilance. This performance evaluation should also be coupled with the
system of PRP (Performance Related Pay) as already taken up by PSUs (Public Sector Undertaking companies)
where the official is awarded for up keeping a high performance and maintaining quality work apart from the
normal emoluments. This will not only make them liable for the lower rates of service delivery but also awarding
will encourage them for higher efficiency in their performance.
 Importance to Critical departments
Apart from the regular departmental up gradation, emphasis should be given to critical departments like
Accounts, IT and HR departments. These departments are necessary for the smooth and streamlined functioning
of all the other departments in any organization. Regular up-grades and training programs should be introduced
especially for these departments so that the quality and standards of these departments are maintained.
 Capacity Building and Training programme
From the analysis done so far in all the sectors it is observed that to cater to the needs of ever increasing burden
on the LMC and the technological advancements which could be recommended to cope up with these burdens
there is need for capacity building and training programmes for the LMC staff at all levels.
 Analysis and utilization of data collected By Corporation
Lucknow Municipal
There is need of proper analysis of the data already being collected by the corporation on the daily basis.
Collection of the information by the corporation for multiple uses should be the aim of the corporation. The proper
interpretation of the same data can help in different activities and planning process.

15.0 MUNICIPAL FINANCE

15.1 INTRODUCTION
This chapter exhibits the analysis of municipal finances and the past performance of Lucknow Municipal
Corporation during the last five audited years providing an understanding of financial capacity and overview of
pertinent financial issues. Financial analysis for LMC in this section is done based on the Audited Results made
available by the Accounts Department for past five years (2008-09 to 2012-13). The chapter thus shows the
analysis of actual accounts from 2008-09 to 2012-13 while results for 2013-14 and 2014-15 are based on the
estimated accounts. Further analysis has been carried out to understand the trends of income-expenditure (profit
and loss) and assets-liabilities (balance sheet) by the ULB under various categories and heads. Municipal
finance structure comprises of revenue and capital accounts which are further divided into income and
expenditure heads. Income and expenditure heads are further sub divided into various heads as explained
through a flow chart shown in Figure 15-1.

15.2 MUNICIPAL FINANCE STATUS

Financial reporting is an important tool of accountability enabling the policy makers to assess, monitor and
regulate the efficiency of the Urban Local Body. Financial reports produced by the Accounts Department enables
the decision makers to assess the efficiency, identify financial stop gaps in the performance of the Governing
Body. The Municipal Corporation under the 74th CAA is empowered to levy and collect taxes and charges at
rates prescribed by the State Government. Past performance analysis helps us to understand the financial
performance and evaluate the financial health of the Municipal Corporation, which shall be discussed in
subsequent section of the chapter. Migration to Double Entry Accrual Based Accounting System is one of the
recommendations by 13th Finance Commission to Urban Local Bodies. LMC has successfully achieved

Lucknow Municipal
complete transition from its single entry accounting system to accrual based double entry accounting system.
Double entry accounting system helps in overcoming the irregularities faced in form of reporting faulty entries,
classification of incomes and expenses under various heads etc.
These statements help in providing a clear picture of the financial health of the municipal body and its standing at
a given point of time. Asset and Liability form the balance sheet of the municipal body while the Income and
Expenditure statement show the cash flow during the assessment year. Income comprising of Revenue Income
and Capital Income while expenditure comprising of Revenue Expenditure and Capital Expenditure.
LMC publishes its budget on its website which is publically accessible and is few of the cities that has adopted
such practice. Municipal finance under the double entry system involves two functions viz. preparation of the
balance sheet and the cash flow statement as discussed earlier. The cash flow statement covers the income
detailing receipt of taxes, charges, loans and grants etc. while the expenditure detailing release of funds to the
establishments, investments, supplies etc. In this chapter the actual accounts as provided by the Lucknow
Municipal Corporation have been analysed through the audited results available for past five years (2008-09 to
2012-13) and unaudited and budgeted data of 2013-14 to 2014-15. Certain key financial indicators relating to tax
revenue, water charges, non-tax revenues, debt servicing etc. have been analysed to assess the financial
performance of the Corporation which play a significant role in its financial positioning.

16.0 INVESTMENT FRAMEWORK AND CAPITAL INVESTMENT PLAN (CIP)

The framework for long term vision for Lucknow has already been provided in the earlier chapter. We
approached this stage by discussions with various stakeholders and review of available relevant publications,
reports, GOs, resolutions, procedures, and laws. The projects were identified from the strategies and the
prioritisation has been done based on existing situation analysis and stakeholder consultations.
This chapter discusses the detailed assessment of availability of resources, logical sequencing of actions and
potential for immediate implementation which will culminate into development of a City Investment Plan (CIP)
which would lay out cost and revenue estimates of all priority projects.
16.1 INVESTMENT FRAMEWORK

Under the revised CDP for Lucknow, the investment plans need to be prepared in line with the national, state and
ULB level mission and vision. The investment estimation has been done in line with the strategies proposed for
the town in short term, medium term and long term. The costs of the projects presented herewith are based on
the unit cost and preliminary feasibility studies carried out in various sectors. Table 16-1 and Source: SENES

17.0 SUSTANIANBLE FINANCIAL OPERATING PLAN (FOP)

The sustainable investment capacity of LMC is assessed through a Financial Operating Plan (FOP), which gives
a yearly forecast of finances for the short term and long term. A salient feature of the FOP is that all outstanding
dues, including debt and non-debt liabilities if any, have been taken into account.
The accounts data of LMC between the years 2008-09 and 2012-13 are used as the basis for determining past
trends in revenue and expenditure and arriving at appropriate growth assumptions for each of the income and
expense items. After forecasting the revenue account, the capital investments proposed under the CIP are added
to the forecast. The FOP is generated to assess the investment sustaining capacity of LMC.
The project funding structure comprises grants similar to as under the JNNURM framework (accounting for 70%
of the funding), internal resources and loans accounting for the rest. The level of investment that LMC can
sustain is determined by studying the overall surpluses/ year-to-year opening balance and debt service coverage
ratio. If the debt service coverage ratio - DSCR (amount of surplus available to pay interest and to repay principal
that is due) falls below 1, then the investments are reduced gradually till the DSCR exceeds 1 in all the years in
the forecast period.
The main items of income and expenditure, classified into the revenue account and the capital account, are
projected in the FOP under the following categories.
1. Revenue Account Receipts:
a. Taxes, Non-Tax Sources, Assigned Revenue and
b. Grants, Contribution and Subsidies
2. Revenue Account Expenditure:
a. Establishment
b. Operation and Maintenance
c. Debt Servicing- Existing and New Loans
d. Phasing of non-debt liabilities, and
e. Additional O&M
3. Capital Income and
4. Capital Expenditure
17.1 FINANCING STRATEGIES FOR THE CIP

In determining a long-term financial strategy, LMC plans to raise resources and fund the CIP through:
 Grants available on the pattern of JNNURM Framework (as percent of investment proposed for
funding by the year 2020 in urban governance and infrastructure sectors – 50% central government
grants and 20% state government grants). In this grant is not considered for capital cost towards
projects identified for economic development and urban governance.
 Available internal resources and improving upon the same through
o Revision of evaluating the property tax methods
o Revision of water charges at specific intervals
o Revision of sewage charges at specific intervals
o Maintenance of the collection performance of taxes and charges at certain minimum levels for
current and for arrears
o Borrowings from market or financial institutions

Lucknow Municipal
Corporation
17.2 FINANCE PROJECTIONS

Current revenue sources are projected under built-in growth assumptions for income and expenditure items, to
assess the impact of each such revenue enhancement measure being suggested. The projections also aim at
estimating the surplus that will be available for servicing new debt. Part of the surplus, after meeting the
additional O&M expenses on newly created assets and infrastructure, is translated into debt size and project size
(grant component plus debt component) based on certain assumptions regarding interest rate, repayment
method and loan-grant mix.
A spread sheet FOP model has been customised to depict the financial position of LMC and the investment
sustaining capacity of Nagar Nigam is assessed based on the FOP assumptions. The model was used to
calculate future surpluses under various scenarios involving combinations of internal revenue improvement, state
support, and financing terms.
17.2.1 Municipal Account – Growth Projections and Assumptions

17.3 INVESTMENT CAPACITY/ SUSTENANCE

Given the existing financial position of LMC, the revenue and capital accounts are projected against the growth
scenario and assumptions presented above. The FOP is generated from the sustainable investment point of view
in line with current growth trends against the identified investment for the LMC of Rs.4,474 Crores at constant
prices till 2020 (of the total Rs. 20,34,430 Crores investment identified for funding till 2020).

Lucknow Municipal
Corporation
Conclusion : LMC
 Based on the financial projections carried out, the Borrowing Capacity works out to Rs. 55000 lacs and
the Investment Capacity works out to Rs. 367163 lacs for Lucknow Municipal Corporation.
 Taking in to account the total project cost of Rs. 1692193 lacs for all the projects identified, the
investment capacity works out to 22% of the total project cost.
 Based on the above it can be concluded that the ULB can take up projects up to Rs. 367163 lacs.
 The value of projects identified for the first 5 years works out to around Rs. 457399 lacs. In our opinion,
the ULB can undertake all the projects identified for the first 5 years.
 With respect to Road projects, we had taken funding pattern of 50% Grant and 50% ULB Own funds.
The Grants portion for Road projects may have to be increased and correspondingly, the ULB share
would come down.
 With the implementation of the above projects, the immediate capital requirements of the ULB would be
met. Both Water connections and Sewerage Connections will increase to 80% -90% of the ULB
households.
 The capital requirements identified for beyond 5 years are basically to cater to ULB suburban areas and
the new areas that would form part of the ULB. These projects can be funded out of the population that
would be added as a result of new areas being added to the ULB.
