NCR Regional Plan 2041

The National Capital Region Planning Board (NCRPB) approves a proposal under the Regional Plan 2041 to develop four semi-greenfield Namo Cities. The Regional Plan 2041 governs multi-state planning across Delhi, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, and Rajasthan, including land use, housing, transport, and environment. The Namo Cities are proposed along Namo Bharat (RRTS) stations and are distributed one each across the four states.

Sectors Governed	The Regional Plan 2041 governs land use, housing, transport, and environment.
Population Projection	The plan projects population to rise from 7.86 crore in 2026 to 14.73 crore by 2041.
Urbanisation Projection	Urbanisation is expected to rise to 67% by 2041.
Growth Hotspots	Future growth hotspots comprise Sonipat, Meerut, Jewar, Bhiwadi, and Alwar.
Current Trigger	NCRPB has approved the proposal to develop 4 semi-greenfield Namo Cities under the Regional Plan 2041.
Namo Cities: Nature and Development Model	Namo Cities comprise semi-greenfield, mixed-use, Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) cities.
Namo Cities: Location	Namo Cities are proposed along Namo Bharat (RRTS) stations.
Namo Cities: Distribution Mandate	The 4 Namo Cities are mandated to be distributed equally: 1 each across Delhi, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, and Rajasthan.
RRTS: Design	The Regional Rapid Transit System (RRTS) is a semi-high-speed, high-frequency regional rail network designed to connect major cities with nearby satellite towns.
RRTS: Speed	RRTS provides for speeds up to 160 km/h.
Namo Cities: Objective	The proposal provides for self-sustaining settlements with local employment hubs, housing, and civic infrastructure to reduce dependence on Delhi.
30-Minute NCR Vision	The plan provides for a “30-Minute NCR” vision to connect jobs, homes, and services within half an hour through RRTS, metro, highways, and rail networks.
Green Cover Incentives	States are incentivised to expand canopy cover using green credits and Special Development Rights (SDRs).
Urban Design Provisions	The plan provides for rationalisation of Floor Area Ratio (FAR) and Floor Space Index (FSI) around transit corridors to unlock housing and commercial supply.
Integration with Major Assets	The plan is linked with Noida International Airport, Yamuna Expressway, Dwarka Expressway, and expanding metro and RRTS networks.
