What Mehta & Associates does

Mehta & Associates LLP is an Indore-headquartered multidisciplinary consultancy founded in 1991 by Hitendra Mehta and Jitendra Mehta, delivering urban planning, architecture, infrastructure design, and project management services across Central India. The firm operates through seven integrated service lines — Architecture, Urban Design & Built Environment; Real Estate Planning & Development; Urban Development & Physical Planning; Traffic, Transportation & Transit-Oriented Development; Urban Infrastructure Planning & Project Delivery; Transaction, Governance & Policy Advisory; and Research, Environment & Sustainability Advisory — covering the full project lifecycle from feasibility and DPR preparation through detailed design, PMC, supervision and quality control, and Independent Engineer services. Its core technology and delivery capability rests on engineering surveys, feasibility studies, detailed project reports, detailed design engineering, and comprehensive project management across transport, water and sanitation, energy, buildings, and urban-development sectors.

The firm's go-to-market is B2B and government-led, built on a portfolio of national and state-level empanelments — including the Ministry of Urban Development, Smart Cities Mission (one of 44 firms nationally, ranked 2nd for TOD/NMT), Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs, Ministry of Road Transport and Highways, Ministry of Finance (PPP Transaction Advisor), NBCC, SBI and LIC (both Highest Category empanelment), and UMTC — supplemented by direct private-sector engagement with developers such as DLF, Omaxe, Emaar MGF, Apollo Group, and Suncity Projects. Revenue is generated through fee-based professional consultancy engagements, project-based and multi-year contracts, and competitive bidding for government assignments, with no publicly disclosed pricing tiers. Customer concentration is weighted toward government and quasi-government counterparties across Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Rajasthan, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, and Delhi, supported by a repeat-client rate above 90% and a 150+ professional multidisciplinary team. The firm is founder-owned, operates without external institutional investment or private equity backing, and has pioneered a series of first-of-kind initiatives in India including the first city-level TOD Master Plans, the first 24x7 water-supply scheme under PPP mode, the first Greenfield TOD through land pooling, and the first IT Park of Central India under SEZ.
