Master Plan 2041 approved by the Delhi Development Authority

The Delhi Development Authority (DDA) has approved the capital's draft Master Plan 2041, paving the way for the city's growth and development in the future.

In Delhi, clean economies like IT/cyber hubs, knowledge-based industries, and R&D facilities are proposed by the master plan. Additionally, there is room for the growth of the night-time economy. The authority intends to increase housing supply as part of the master plan through private participation in land pooling and the regeneration of planned and unplanned areas with incentive FAR.

To meet the demand for housing in already developed areas, the DDA also proposed the construction of non-ownership/rental housing and Affordable Rental Housing Complexes, particularly in close proximity to mass transit, in new formats such as serviced apartments, condominiums, hostels, student housing, and worker housing. In addition, the plan allows for flexible loading of the Floor Area Ratio (FAR), Transfer of Development Rights (TDR) in receiving areas, and additional development controls to promote walkability, sustainable design, active frontage, and other principles of sustainable urban planning in land pooling areas.

An integrated Low-Density Residential Area (LDRA) and green belt policy is being proposed by Green Development Area (GDA), which will result in the regularization of farm houses in the capital. After receiving approval, the Draft Master Plan for Delhi -2041 will be sent to the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs for final approval and notification.

According to Lt. Governor VK Saxena, the focus of MPD-2041 was inclusive development, environmental sustainability, a green economy, the development of infrastructure that included sufficient housing for all social classes, novel interventions like TOD hubs, land pooling, a green development area, and the revitalization and redevelopment of the city. In accordance with the Delhi Development Act of 1957, the first Master Plan for Delhi was published in 1962. These plans provide a comprehensive framework for Delhi's planned development and are prepared for 20-year time frames.
