The Bhopal Master Plan 2047, released by state authorities, outlines development across 254 villages with an anticipated population of 4.5 million.
State officials have unveiled the Bhopal Master Plan 2047, a comprehensive blueprint intended to guide the region’s growth over the next two decades. The document maps out the integration of a large number of surrounding settlements into a coordinated urban framework.
According to the plan, 254 villages surrounding Bhopal will be incorporated into the development scheme, with the projected total population reaching approximately 4.5 million people. These figures set the scale for future infrastructure, housing, and public‑service requirements.
Planners say the master plan will serve as a reference for land‑use zoning, transportation corridors, and essential utilities, aiming to balance urban expansion with the needs of rural communities. The release marks a significant step toward structured growth for the capital city of Madhya Pradesh.
