Do Indian local authorities and city boards/mayors have master plan for city/town planning that include modern sewage disposals and drainage systems?

No, I'm at 4th largest Indian city, we have a very poor sewage system. I don' think a master plan has been devised for the city yet.

If they have such master plan, what are the problems in implemanting efficient sewage disposals and drainage plans?

Indian's economy is getting stronger year by year, I am sure budget is not the problem. Is land acquisition the obstacle?

One of the biggest problem government faces is land acquisitions and mindless encroachments, it takes several months to get clearance.

No city in India is planned except for Chandigarh. We have, what is called, organic growth. You really can't plan for that.
