Indore's new master plan has been pending for five years, leading to unplanned development and illegal settlements. The new plan, focusing on the year 2035, is expected after the notification of a metropolitan city.
Indore is facing challenges due to the prolonged delay in its new master plan, which has been pending for the past five years. This hiatus has reportedly contributed to a rise in unplanned urban development and the proliferation of illegal settlements across the city.
The existing master plan's validity expired five years ago, leaving a significant gap in regulatory urban planning. The preparation of a new master plan is now contingent upon the formal notification of Indore as a metropolitan city.
Once this notification is issued, the authorities will proceed with formulating the new master plan, with a projected horizon year of 2035. This forward-looking plan is intended to guide the city's development in a more structured and sustainable manner.
