DDA to notify Delhi’s Master Plan by April 2023

23 Sep 2022 CW Team

The Delhi Development Authority (DDA) is expected to notify the new Master Plan by April 2023 as per the authority's submission in the Supreme Court in a recent hearing. The step will stop illegal construction in the capital and also help in legalising farmhouses.

The DDA told the apex court that the tentative date for placing the Master Plan for Delhi (MPD-2041) before the authorities is the first week of December, 2022, and, if any, would be made by the last week of December, 2022.

The letter to be sent to the Ministry of Housing and Urban Development for final approval and notification of MPD-2041 will be completed by January 15, 2023, and the final Master Plan will be published on or before April 30, 2023.

The delay in the approval of the Green Development Area (GDA) Policy by the Delhi Development Authority (DDA) has led to the mushrooming of illegal farmhouses across Delhi's villages even as industry bodies and real estate experts have called for faster notification of the policy.
