Government-built housing units? Their boxy contours mar urban India.

Meanwhile in NY:

Also what Government built housing in India? Most of the Government apartments are now only for the public sector workers. Not even general public.

There are many Government built staff apartments which are completely abandoned after the state eneterprises were privatized.

They destroy slums in central areas, the capitalists buy it for cheap for luxury apartments and move all the people living to the periphery where they don't have access to jobs because transportation is too expensive.

In many ways not that different from the US. Gentrification and all. Except less use of market and more brute force of the state, primitive accumulation kind of.

Edit: and Government owned stores for distribution of food grains and essentials at a subsidized price is the only reason why India isn't facing a worse hunger and malnutrition crisis than it already is.
