Master Plan of Delhi 2021: New land policy to offer options to House Buyers

The Master Plan of Delhi 2021 has been in force since 2007. Once this is reimplemented with the new land development policy, Delhi will also offer options to thousands of house buyers. The India's capital city has still about  27,630 hectares of land to fulfil the dreams of thousand of home buyers.

Land  Zone...!

The Delhi Development Authority (DDA) has earmarked land at Zone J, K 1, K 2, M, N, L, O, P 1 &  P 2 for raising residential projects.
 

According to the projections in the master plan, about 24 lakh residential units are required for an estimated 2.30 crore people by the year 2021.

Slum-free..!

According to the master plan, Delhi will be slum-free in the next ten years by providing rehabilitation packages (built-up houses with all civic facilities) to slum dwellers. For this DDA has identified 23 sites (slum areas) for rehabilitation.

The master plan of Delhi includes chapters like regional and sub-regional frame, population and employment , Delhi urban area 2021, social & physical infrastructure , mixed land-use regulations, development code and plan review &  monitoring.

The master plan 2021 has allocated 277 square km for future urbanization by 2021.

In the past 50 years, DDA has acquired about 75,610 hectares & developed it for residential, recreational, commercial and institutional purposes.

More Amenities..!

Now, with better and holistic planning, DDA intends to set new records &  provide more amenities to people.

Delhi is spread over 1,483 square km and divided into 17 planning zones:
1,159 hectare in Zone - A (Old City);
2,304 hectare in Zone-B (City Extension and Karol Bagh);
3,959 hectare in Planning Zone-C ( Civil Lines);
6,855 hectares in Zone D (New Delhi);
 8,797 hectares in Planning Zone-E (East Delhi);
11,958 hectares in Zone-F (South Delhi I);
11,865 hectares in Planning Zone-G (West Delhi I);
5,677 hectares in Zone-H (North-West Delhi I);
15,178 hectares in Zone-J (South Delhi II);
 5,782 hectares in Zone K-I (West Delhi II) and 6,408 hectares in Zone K-II Dwarka;
22,840 hectares in Zone-L (West Delhi III);
5,073 hectares in Zone-M (North West Delhi II);
13,975 hectares in Zone-N (North West Delhi III);
80,70 hectares in Zone-O (River Yamuna-River Front);
9,866 hectares in Zone P-I (Narela) &  8,534 hectares in Zone P-II (North Delhi).

Mr. Ram Gopal Gupta, a policy maker &  city planner, says: "In the past 40 years, DDA constructed only 3.5 lakh flats. However, these did not suffice even for 1% of Delhi's population. Due to lack of housing facilities in Delhi, 10 lakh people are dependent on nearby sates and metro cities in the NCR belt. According to records, DDA was constructing 10,000 flats every year  fifteen years ago, while in the past ten years it managed to build 54,000 flats."

Today, DDA is not in a position to construct even 5,000 flats a year. The dramatic growth in Delhi's population has led to congestions and shortages of civic amenities. One of the main causes for this spurt in population is the migration of people into the city from Bihar, UP, Punjab, J & K , West Bengal, Orissa, etc."

Today, the NCR cities are best suited to take the burden of housing from the national capital. The NCR has a total area of 33,578 square km &  includes parts of 3 states, Haryana, Rajasthan, &  Uttar Pradesh, with Delhi as a full state.

The NCR is also characterised by the presence of ecologically sensitive areas like the extension of the Aravali ridge, forests, wild life &  bird sanctuaries; the river systems of Yamuna &  Hindon, and is a dynamic rural urban admixture.
