Delhi Development Authority Approves Master Plan 2047 with Housing and Infrastructure Focus
The Delhi Development Authority (DDA) approved the Master Plan 2047, outlining long-term urban development including housing, infrastructure, and environmental management. The plan aims to build up to 40 lakh new homes, emphasizing affordable and rental housing, redevelopment of old DDA flats, and higher density near transit corridors. It permits regulated commercial growth in 70 peripheral villages and relaxes restrictions on parts of the Yamuna floodplain. Concerns were raised by the Delhi Congress about infrastructure strain without parallel civic upgrades. The plan awaits final approval from the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs.
