A very special thanks to Shakti Sustainable Energy Foundation without whose support this study on congestion pricing in Mumbai would not have been possible. We wish to convey our deepest appreciation to Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) for initiating a conversation about congestion pricing in Mumbai and supporting us in hosting two roundtable meetings with multiple stakeholders and experts at its office. We would also like to thank our knowledge partner Symbiosis School of Economics for their valuable inputs at various stages of the study, as well as TomTom, a leading global location technology specialist, for providing the key data required for assessing traffic congestion in Mumbai. The congestion pricing report would not have been possible without the insights offered by LNITS, VTRAC, IBI Group, C-Dac,CSTEP, IIT-B, Technocrats, PWC, SOJITZ during the roundtable meeting for discussing congestion pricing technologies. A special thank you to ITS experts Mr. Manohar Meena and Mr. Varun Agarwal for sharing their insights in the technology sector and providing data on performance of tolling infrastructure in India. We would also like to express our gratitude to Ms. Pranjali Deshpande and Mr. Harshad Abhyankar, former staff of the ITDP India Programme, for their support. Additionally, we wish to thank the entire team at the Institute for Transportation and Development Policy for their support.
