Delhi N.C.R Region (National Captial Region)-About it

1. Jawaharlal Nehru Architecture and Fine Arts University School of Planning and Architecture Department of Urban and Regional Planning Subject: Regional planning Submitted to: Mrs. Dhruvitha mam Submitted by: M. Dhananjay (21011BA010) A. Santhosh (21011BA001) VI Semester, III Year National Capital Region Plan - 2041

2. VISION OF REGIONAL PLAN-2041 To provide a long term plan for the development of the Future Ready National Capital Region of new vibrant India, the rising global super power, with citizen centric infrastructure which is harmonious, environment friendly, smart-digital technology driven towards building an economically prosperous region, in tune with attainment of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). NCRPB was constituted in 1985 under the provisions of NCRPB Act, 1985. The constituent areas of the National Capital Region are: National Capital Territory Delhi (constitutes 4.4% of NCR area) Haryana Sub-region: Faridabad, Gurgaon, Rohtak, Sonepat, Rewari, Jhajjar, Mewat and Panipat districts of Haryana (40.0% of NCR area) Rajasthan Sub-region: Alwar district of Rajasthan (23.3% of NCR area) Uttar Pradesh Sub-region: Meerut, Ghaziabad, Gautam Buddha Nagar, Bulandshahr and Baghpat districts of UP (32.3% of NCR area)

3. NCR (National capital region) Planning board has approved the Draft Regional Plan 2041. According to the plan, NCR is likely to reduce in size. Under the Draft Regional Plan 2041, the areas behind the 100 km are unlikely to be part of the NCR. Currently, the NCR is spread to around 150-175 kilometres, covering entire districts and rural areas. Linear corridors will be developed beyond a 100 km radius and up to the existing NCR boundary. The reduction in its size would lead to regulated transit-oriented development along the highways. Special impetus will be put on super-fast trains within major cities of NCR. These trains would ensure 30 minute connectivity within NCR. Delhi NCR is likely to shrink to the 100 km radius from Rajghat. Gurgaon, Faridabad, Noida, Greater Noida, and some areas of Meerut will remain part of the NCR. Alwar in Rajasthan, Panipat in Haryana and parts of Muzaffar Nagar in Uttar Pradesh could be removed from the National Capital Region (NCR). The National Capital Region Planning Board (NCRPB) is a statutory body functioning under the Ministry of Urban Development, Government of India.

4. Multiple laws across four subregions. Different land assembly and change in land use provisions varying vastly across 4 States. Approval processes for different economic activities and even for construction varies vastly across sub-regions. Haphazard growth in various parts despite past 2 long-term Regional Plans. Low resource allocation for projects with holistic, macro pan-NCR objectives. Time consuming, complicated, cumbersome and non-digital approval processes across all four regions. Entry barriers between four sub-regions - local priorities. Impending water crisis due to insufficient resources, falling water table, increasing contamination, leakages, sub-optimal reuse of treated waste water, insufficient treatment facilities, poor water user behavior. High road accidents, poor trauma care network and high percentage of casualties. High Pollution levels especially of Air and Water. Huge population with high urbanization; 67% expected by 2041. Poor sanitation in some areas Widespread slums. Inadequate network of quality primary and secondary healthcare. Archaic laws like Delhi Land Reforms Act, etc. hold back development and create islands of chaos like Lal Dora/ Extended Lal Dora, etc. KEY CHALLENGES

5. The National Capital Region (NCR) is expected to grow to 7 crores by 2031 and 11 crores by 2041, with urbanization reaching 67% by then. To address congestion and accommodate this growth, the plan proposes both brown-field redevelopment and greenfield creation of settlements. It suggests establishing 5 to 8 new greenfield townships in UP, Haryana, and Rajasthan, with modern smart infrastructure like AURIC City. The NCR is divided into five policy zones: NCT Delhi Central NCR ( CNCR ) extending up to five kilometers beyond the outer edge of expressways surrounding Delhi, serving as the Golden Ring of Opportunity Highway Corridor Zone and Transit Oriented Development ( HCZ and TOD) Conservation Zone Rest of NCR. The NCR, contributing 8% to GDP, aims to play a major role in achieving the country's US$ 5 trillion GDP goal. The CNCR is seen as a "Golden Ring of Opportunity," while urban regeneration is proposed to transform the region. Ten Economic Pillars focus on industrial development, enhancing farm incomes, creating growth corridors, improving ease of doing business, enhancing transport and logistics, promoting tourism, building infrastructure, skilling, promoting circular economy, and developing a smart, digital NCR. The 41st NCRPB Board Meeting in 2021 agreed to redefine the NCR : The core NCR will be a circular region within a 100 km radius from Rajghat, with inclusion decisions for tehsils left to respective State Governments. Beyond this radius, notified cities/towns and a 1 km corridor along connecting Expressways/National Highways/State Highways/Regional Rapid Transit System will be included. Future additions due to notified towns or completed expressways/highways in Rajasthan will be considered later. SALIENT FEATURES AND PRIORITY AREAS OF REGIONAL PLAN-2041
