Roads to be priority in new development zones, says DDA V-C
The Delhi Development Authority (DDA) has announced that road network development will be a top priority under the Master Plan for Delhi-2047. The plan focuses on connecting land-pooling areas and low-density zones to major NCR roads to facilitate urban expansion.
Why it matters
Improved infrastructure connectivity is essential for managing Delhi's rapid urban growth and supporting the city's new land-pooling policy.
The Delhi Development Authority (DDA) will prioritise the development of road networks in new areas identified for development, including land pooling zones, low-density areas and high-density corridors along the Urban Extension Road-II (UER-II), under the Master Plan for Delhi-2047, DDA vice-chairperson N. Saravana Kumar said on Thursday.
He said road network plans for areas marked under the land pooling policy and low-density areas are expected to be notified within the next three to four months. “The plan is to take arterial roads from the land-pooling areas and the low-density areas and connect them to the NCR roads,” Mr. Kumar said. These roads will have a right of way of 30 metres or more, in line with MPD-2047 provisions.
