The Delhi government has approved its fourth Master Plan, which aims to create four million additional housing units by the year 2047.
The Delhi government has released its fourth Master Plan, a comprehensive blueprint for the capital's development through 2047. The plan sets an ambitious target of adding four million new housing units to address the city's chronic shortage of affordable homes.
The housing component is central to the plan, with provisions for mixed‑use developments, upgraded infrastructure and green spaces to support the projected population growth. It also outlines land‑use zoning revisions, transit‑oriented development around metro corridors, and measures to streamline approvals for residential projects.
Implementation will be overseen by the Delhi Development Authority in coordination with municipal bodies and private developers. The government expects the new homes to be delivered in phases, aligning with the city's long‑term growth strategy and the national goal of providing housing for all by 2047.
