Hi Shekahr,
This is really good. Now a lot of issues with developement would get resolved.
In ref. the open series maps (OSMs) could eventually replace the maps already present

Dear All:
Please see the latest demo of the Mumbai Free Map on http://freemap.crit.org.in
This now contains detailed vector layers for roads, railways, buildings and plots, projected onto a satellite composite image of the city. The data has been sourced from existing municipal development plans, surveys, and maps, which we have scanned, traced and stitched together with our archive of project materials at CRIT.
This project has been developed using completely free and open source software (Map Server, GRASS, QGIS) and copyleft and public geographic data.
The project web page is on http://www.crit.org.in/projects/gis and we welcome comments and feedback on it as we begin developing an interface by which to annotate the maps and develop this as an open source and interactive archive and community information infrastructure.
Regards,
