UP govt to establish influence zone under TOD around rapid rail corridor

In order to encourage high density urban clusters, the UP government established a transit-oriented development strategy for regions within 1.5 km of the rapid train track. This will allow developers to request higher FARs (floor area raito).

The development of "sustainable urban growth centers" centered on public transportation networks like the Metro, Bus Rapid Transit System (BRTS), and Rapid Rail Transit System is envisioned by the TOD policy, which was launched by the central government as a model for states in 2017. The idea is to provide access to all residential and commercial amenities within a "walkable" area so that people don't have to travel large distances in private vehicles for work or other errands.

The policy will establish what is known as the TOD "influence zone" in the trans-Hindon area of Ghaziabad, which is already densely populated with highrises, where vertical development will be promoted.
