Slum is an area with heavy population living in substandard housing which lacks basic and civics amenities.Urbanization, growing population and migration pressurizes cities leading to overflowing infrastructure, increase in urban poverty and haphazard development of cities.Thus rehabilitation of slum is necessary to provide fair and affordable houses to slum dwellers.Fast track techniques proved to be useful to serve the purpose.Fast track techniques are associated with using methods that reduce the project overlapping and total duration of the project at sustainable finance.This paper focuses on fast track techniques like Tunnel form and Rapidwall compared with recent in use technique Aluform in terms of cost, duration, benefits and their utility in Indian conditions.Fast track techniques are necessary as rehabilitation is long term process including costly affairs which generates problems to slum dwellers and ultimately to the country.Tunnel form and Rapidwall helps in reducing rehabilitation time by completing the project in optimum cost and duration.
