This study examines land utilization, Street Network Density, Side walk coverage and built-up around metro station areas in five major Indian cities—Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, Chennai, and Hyderabad—to assess their alignment with Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) principles. Key indicators such as Floor Area Ratio (FAR), land utilization, street network density, and sidewalk coverage are analyzed within a 500-metre station influence zone. The findings are compared with international TOD benchmarks to identify gaps and opportunities. The study concludes with targeted recommendations to enhance compact, connected, and walkable development around transit corridors, ensuring more efficient, inclusive, and sustainable urban growth.
