NCR Draft Plan Proposes 30-Minute Connectivity to Major Cities by 2041
The Draft Regional Plan-2041 by the NCR Planning Board aims to ensure every major city in the National Capital Region is reachable from Delhi within 30 minutes, primarily through the Regional Rapid Transit System (RRTS), now called Namo Bharat. The plan includes eight corridors connecting Delhi with Gurugram, Faridabad, Ghaziabad, Noida, and others, targeting reduced travel times and integrated multimodal transport to improve mobility and reduce air pollution. The plan is expected to advance following the June 16 NCRPB board meeting.
