2. MACRO LOCATION
INDIA-MAHARASHTRA MAHARASHTRA-PALGHAR PALGHAR-BOISAR

3. BOISAR BUS DEPOT
FOLLOWING REASONS FOR INCREASE IN FOOTFALL -
●Boisar is the largest industrial suburb in the Mumbai
Metropolitan Region in the Indian state of Maharashtra
which increases the threat of more covid cases entering the
town.
●Boisar is known for its industrial hub and most industries
(especially chemical, pharmaceutical, textile and
mechanical companies)

offer internship and apprenticeship
programs to college undergraduates and postgraduates.
Banks and hospitals also provide work experience for
students and professionals.
●The existence of more than 1500 industrial units.
●Medical workers working in the suburbs of mumbai being
called at work.
Mode of transport - S.T BUS
WHY BOISAR?Total Population-36,151 (2011 census)

8. IS THERE A NEED TO REDESIGN?
TOILETS
INQUIRY
OFFICE
WAITING AREA

●THE WAITING AREA PROVIDED TO PEOPLE IS
INSUFFICIENT
(CONSIDERING/NOT CONSIDERING COVID
SITUATION)

1.CONSIDERING COVID SITUATION, IT IS
IMPORTANT TO HAVE LARGE
WAITING AREAS.

2.WAITING AREAS HERE ARE
IMPORTANT BECAUSE THE
FREQUENCY OF BUSES IS LESS BUT
THE NO.OF USERS ARE MORE.

3.WATER LOGGING DURING RAINY
SEASON.

4.DUE TO LACK OF PROPER AND SAFE
INFRASTRUCTURE, THERE HAVE BEEN
FEW CRIME CASES IN THE DEPO AREA

THE SITE CONSIDERED IS MANAGEABLE TO
REDESIGN


ANNOUNCEMENT
ROOM

9. SITE CONCERNS-
●ENTRY POINT HAS NUMBER OF POTHOLES.
●MAIN ROAD IS RAISED WITH NO PROPER DRAINAGE SYSTEM, HENCE SITE
EXPERIENCES WATERLOGGING.

10. SITE CONCERNS-
●POOR INFRASTRUCTURE
●NO HYGIENE

19. SWOT ANALYSIS

STRENGTH - INDUSTRIAL HUB, THEREFORE A LOT OF EXPORTS ARE DEPENDENT.
-GOVT. OPERATES BUSES FOR EMPLOYEES OF NUKE PLANT.

WEAKNESS- SITE IS LOCATED IN LOW LYING AREA.
-VERY POOR INFRASTRUCTURE.
- SAFETY ISSUES IN AND AROUND THE SITE DUE OF LACK OF SECURITY

OPPORTUNITY- LOCAL TRANSPORT (i.e auto rickshaws) DON’T HAVE METER SYSTEM HENCE PEOPLE MIGHT OPT
FOR BUSES IN FUTURE
- GOVT. HAS PROPOSED A NUMBER OF NEW PROJECTS IN THE UPCOMING
YEARS,(FOR EXAMPLE - BULLET TRAIN STATION, TARAPUR PORT, ETC)
HENCE SCOPE FOR INCREASE IN FOOTFALL.

THREAT- SITE HAS DANGER OF NUCLEAR LEAK (RADIOACTIVE PARTICLES) AND CHEMICAL
LEAKS FROM INDUSTRIES (PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANIES/ MIDC TARAPUR).
BOISAR FACED LOTS OF FIRE BREAKOUTS AND BLASTS IN COMPANIES IN PAST FEW YEARS.
