India is one of the fastest growing economies of the world and is also the second most populous nation, furthermore it has a rapidly growing urban population owing to which the cities are facing severe problems and challenges related to mobility, congestion and subsequently pollution. Even though, a diversity of criteria and indicators are listed by various authors that impacts the use of TOD techniques. Nonetheless, every country has its own challenges and problems for applicability and effective implementation of TOD. This paper attempts to identify those challenges pertaining to adoption and implementation at the urban body level. The study mainly adopts primary means of data collection.
