What happened: DDA approved Master Plan for Delhi-2047
The Delhi Development Authority (DDA) approved the Master Plan for Delhi-2047. The reported approval included an extension of the master plan target year from 2041 to 2047.
Background: earlier master plan remained pending with the Central government
Before the DDA’s approval of the Master Plan for Delhi-2047, the earlier master plan was pending with the Central government for more than three years. A long pending period delays the adoption of a renewed long-term planning horizon for Delhi.
What changed now: target-year extension from 2041 to 2047
The key change reported is the extension of the plan target year from 2041 to 2047 under the Master Plan for Delhi-2047.
