Notes

  • Master Plan for Delhi-2047 (MPD-2047) prioritizes road network development in new growth zones.
  • Key focus areas include land pooling zones, low-density areas, and high-density corridors along the Urban Extension Road-II (UER-II).
  • Road network plans for land pooling and low-density areas are scheduled for notification within 3-4 months.
  • Arterial roads in these zones will feature a minimum right of way of 30 metres to ensure connectivity with NCR roads.
  • DDA will initiate road infrastructure development upfront, independent of the collection of external development charges from landowners.
  • Land pooling model requires participating landowners to provide land for roads and essential infrastructure.
  • Low-density area framework covers approximately 150 sq km along peripheral villages, aiming for a uniform planning approach while maintaining low-intensity land use.
  • High-density corridors along UER-II will have specific development plans synchronized with adjacent land-pooling zones.
