Madhya Pradesh Releases Draft Bhopal Master Plan 2047 with Growth Corridor and Green Focus
The Madhya Pradesh government released the draft Bhopal Development Plan 2047, proposing a 51-km Growth Corridor to link key city areas and promote mixed-use development. The plan expands the city's planning area to 1,016.9 sq km, emphasizing green spaces, ecological conservation, and metropolitan-scale growth. While it supports economic development and infrastructure improvements, concerns have been raised about potential commercialisation in residential zones. The draft does not offer blanket relief to traders facing municipal sealing actions, maintaining land-use and road-width restrictions.
