Hi anirudh

It is nice that you are interested in the area of congestion pricing and 
that too applying it in the Indian context. from my opinion i think just 
applying congestion pricing without other TDM measures would reduce the 
effect of the program. You might also want to see on improving other 
transit facilities while applying pricing. We at SUTP have a module on 
Economic Instruments which can provide the basic details of the economic 
options and there is also the TDM encyclopedia from Todd Litman. I guess 
even Lee schipper would be having good deal of info on congestion pricing.

Our website is www.sutp.org and you can download the economic 
instruments module and also some other presentations on pricing.

cheers!
