Review of Delhi's Master Plan 2041

On Monday, Chief Minister Rekha Gupta convened a high-level meeting to assess the long-awaited provisions of the Delhi Master Plan (MPD) 2041. The Delhi Development Authority (DDA) had submitted the draft plan to the central government in April 2023, but it has yet to receive approval from the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs.

According to sources, the DDA Vice Chairman will present a comprehensive overview of the draft to senior officials, including heads of departments related to industry, environment, and revenue.

This meeting is expected to focus on industrial development, with the Delhi government planning to develop approximately 1,200 acres in three proposed industrial clusters—Kanjhawala, Ranikhaira, and Baprola—under a public-private partnership (PPP) model.

These clusters are being designed to attract service sectors such as information technology, artificial intelligence (AI), biotechnology, and research, which are projected to create millions of jobs in the capital.

Officials indicated that a global consulting firm may be engaged to finalize the development model. The draft of MPD-2041 was approved by Delhi's Lieutenant Governor V.K. Saxena during a meeting held on February 28, 2023. Saxena also serves as the DDA Chairman.

The first master plan was implemented in 1962 under the Delhi Development Act of 1957. These master plans are created for a 20-year period and provide a comprehensive framework for the planned development of the city.
