The draft Delhi Master Plan 2041 in its current form, lacks substance, basic data and numbers worth of a Master Plan on a range of issues, from shelter and mobility to infrastructure

The Delhi Master Plan 2041 is out for public feedback. The Plan has been prepared by the National Institute of Urban Affairs on behalf of the Delhi Development Authority. It took four years of preparation. It is heavy on nice sounding words and phrases, but lacks substance, basic data and numbers worth of a Master Plan on a range of issues, from shelter and mobility to infrastructure.

The Master Plan has opened up the green belt of Delhi (on its periphery) for construction work. It has reduced the floor area ratio (from 4 to 2) for the land pooling scheme on the last remaining 22,000 hectares of land available in south-west Delhi. 

On the other hand, it has allowed the densification of habitation in central Delhi. This is bound to result in the failure of the land pooling scheme, cause congestion and make living in Delhi a nightmare.

The water, waste water and solid waste management chapters of the Master Plan do not even summarise the numerical targets and plans, disaggregated actions and solutions proposed by the three municipal corporations, the Delhi Jal Board (DJB), Cantonment Board and irrigation department. These are simply provided as annexures to the 2041 Master Plan.

There is no blueprint for the lofty ideal of making Delhi water-secure. The estimated water requirement for Delhi in 2041 is likely to exceed 1,500 million gallons a day. This estimate is based on a lower per capita allocation of water supply by the DJB, as compared to the 2021 Master Plan.
