The Delhi Development Authority has approved its Master Plan 2047, with a key focus on dividing the Yamuna O‑Zone into two separate sections to streamline development and environmental management.
The Delhi Development Authority (DDA) has formally approved its Master Plan 2047, marking a significant milestone in the city’s long‑term urban development strategy.
A central feature of the approved plan is the division of the Yamuna O‑Zone into two distinct sections. This move aims to better manage land use, improve environmental safeguards, and facilitate targeted infrastructure projects along the river corridor.
Urban planners expect the split to allow for more focused zoning regulations, reducing the risk of unchecked development and enhancing flood‑control measures. The decision also aligns with broader efforts to balance rapid growth with ecological preservation.
The DDA will now move to the implementation phase, coordinating with municipal authorities, environmental agencies, and private developers to bring the revised zoning into effect by the next fiscal year.
