Reduce the growth of population in Bombay city by creating a center that would absorb immigrants, and also attract some of Bombay’s present population.
To support a statewide Industrial Location Policy which will lead eventually to an
efficient and rational distribution of industries over the State and a balanced development of urban centers in the hinterland.
To provide physical and social services, raise the living standards and reduce the disparities in the amenities available to the different sections of the population.
To provide an environment which would permit the residents of New Bombay to live fuller and richer lives in so far this is possible, free from the physical and social tensions, which are commonly associated with urban living.
To provide a physical infrastructure which prevents ethnic enclaves among the population.
