Maharashtra for the most part is pretty developed, but a lot of people from poorer parts have poured into the state and end up living in slums. The municipal corporations have been unable to build housing for them. It doesn't help that Mumbai is an island, so it is geographically limited. Fortunately that is changing, and the Maharashtra gov. is creating a housing program that will hopefully reduce the volume of slums.

Same is the case with Gujarat but not as severe as Bombay. In surat, lots of people has come from outside. However , they live in in good houses and live a much better life.
