Delhi Master Plan 2047 targets 40 lakh homes, 695-km metro by 2047

Delhi's Master Plan 2047 sets ambitious targets for urban development over the next two decades. The blueprint aims to deliver 40 lakh new homes and extend the metro network to 695 km by 2047. It includes redevelopment schemes for unauthorized colonies and housing provisions for slum dwellers.

The plan prioritizes environmental restoration, particularly the revival of the Yamuna river through treatment of 22 drains and restoration of floodplains. Green buffers and afforestation initiatives are designed to reduce noise pollution and enhance the city's overall environment. The strategy signals a shift toward balanced urban development focused on investment, livability, and sustainability for Delhi residents.
