The responsibility of master plan and zonal development plans for VMRDA-2041 has been entrusted to a private agency. In August 2016, the master plan works were started which were scheduled to be completed by August 2018.

As per the VMRDA officials, they procured the latest satellite imagery instead of 2012-based imageries as per the then Vuda Board directions, which delayed the master plan process. Later, the process was affected by Covid 19.
