SUMMARY
The Master Plan for DNGIR, 2041 aims to create a modern industrial development hub
of global standards. The plan envisages the development of globally competitive
industrial investment areas, and a modern education hub. It intends to make the town
act as an incubator for innovation and startups for the development of new
technologies. The proposed industries include IT and ITeS, electronics and electrical
(semi-conductor chips, etc.), automobile industry, solar panel manufacturing, food
processing industry, textile and garment industry, defense equipment manufacturing
industry, cement and tiles industry, and film industry. The upcoming Western Delhi
Freight Corridor (DFC) from Dadri to Mumbai and the Eastern Peripheral Expressway
will help in promoting and developing world class logistics infrastructure to support
planned industries.
The planning area has high regional accessibility through road, rail, and upcoming
airport at Jewar. Further, with the neighboring existing industrial townships of Noida,
Greater Noida and Yamuna Expressway, this development will become one of the key
industrial regions for IT and ITES along with other cutting-edge industries. The Master
Plan for DNGIR, 2041 also intends to attract global manufacturing companies through
provision of various categories of large plots.
High accessibility is promoted within the town as nearly 14 percent of the land in the
planning area is reserved for transport infrastructure. Attempts have been made to
ensure equitable, effective, and efficient connectivity through grid-iron pattern
development.
Conservation of large water bodies of the size of one hectare and more and reduced
dependency on fresh water sources by recycling and reuse of wastewater are some of
the other important features of water sensitive planning being proposed in this Plan.
The Plan encourages use and reuse of water with reduced reliance on freshwater
resources. Physical and social infrastructure shall act as the backbone of the DNGIR. The
Plan intends to develop smart physical infrastructure such as smart utility ducts, smart
waste management sites and provision of smart energy with low carbon footprint.
High rise, medium density, group housing based residential development is proposed in
the Master Plan. The Plan also proposes safe and secure neighborhoods with availability
of basic amenities within walking distance in each sector. The plan intends to provide
housing for industrial labor as well.

1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 INTRODUCTION
The Master Plan for Dadri-Noida-Ghaziabad Investment Region (DNGIR), 2041 is being
prepared under the UP Industrial Development Area Act 1976, under clause 6 which
allows an Authority to prepare a master plan for a notified area. The key function of a
master plan is to promote planned development within its regional setting, which link
the new town to surrounding developed areas.
The notified DNGIR area has been identified as one of the seven proposed investment
regions in the first phase of the Delhi Mumbai Industrial Corridor (DMIC), which will be
implemented in phases with the development of supporting infrastructure and early
bird projects. The DNGIR is a part of the Western Dedicated Freight Corridor (WDFC),
which serves as a critical transport link running along the Delhi Mumbai Industrial
Corridor’s (DMIC) entire length. This area has excellent connectivity through road and
rail links to Uttar Pradesh and rest of India. It includes Noida; Ghaziabad, the hub of
engineering and electronics industries; Greater Noida; and another newly planned city
Yamuna Expressway Industrial Area, which houses the Jewar Airport in the vicinity.
These adjoining urban areas have a well-evolved road network, state of the art physical
and social infrastructure along with some of the best residential, commercial,
institutional and entertainment areas.
The new town of DNGIR has the notified planning area of 209.11 square kilometers and
comprises of 84 villages located in the districts of Gautam Buddha Nagar and
Bulandshahr. In the DNGIR planning area, out of a total of 84 villages, 63 villages are in
Bulandshahr district and 21 villages in Gautam Buddha Nagar. Sikandrabad town is
located outside the DNGIR planning area in Bulandshahr district of Uttar Pradesh state.
Parts of two industrial areas – Sikandrabad Industrial Area I and Sikandrabad Industrial
Area II – are also located in the notified area of the DNGIR.
The topography of the DNGIR planning area is plain and some uneven lands can be also
found. 63 villages of Bulandshahr district located between 28˚4’ and 28˚ north latitudes
and 77˚ and 78˚ east longitudes form a part of the DNGIR planning area. The part of
DNGIR planning area in Bulandshahr district is situated in the Upper Doab of the Ganga
and Yamuna rivers, which forms its eastern and western boundaries respectively, and
separates it from district Moradabad and Budaun in the east. It is also bound by the
district Ghaziabad in the north and district Aligarh in the south. Remaining 21 villages of
Gautam Buddha Nagar district form another significant part of the DNGIR planning area.
This part is situated between the parallels of 28˚ 6' to 28˚ 40' north latitude and 77˚ 17' -
77˚ 42' east longitude.
Some of the critical infrastructure is already in place to propel industrial growth in the
DNGIR. For example, sustained supply of electricity could be ensured through a 3,500
MW gas-based electricity power plant built near Dadri, a settlement located near the
DNGIR. To ensure sustained supply of water, the Ganga Canal passes along the DNGIR
planning area. The DNGIR is one of the key nodes of the Delhi Mumbai Freight Corridor
9
(DMIC) because of its proximity to the terminal point of the Western Dedicated Freight
Corridor.
The notified DNGIR planning area has been experiencing rapid population growth since
2001 mainly because of natural increase and settling of families living in villages around
Dadri town. Rapid growth of population has also occurred due to the emergence of two
new towns i.e., Noida and Greater Noida. Since 1981, Dadri has also witnessed high
population growth rate due to the generation of economic opportunities and its location
along the National Highway 91. Employment opportunities, strategic location and
infrastructure development are other major causes for this pattern of growth.
Many developments have been proposed and are taking place around the proposed
DNGIR planning area. Some of the important projects identified around the DNGIR are
Integrated Industrial Township at Greater Noida, Multi Modal Transport Hub (MMTH)
at Boraki and Multimodal Logistics Hub (MMLH) at Greater Noida.
Land is the most significant element of any form of city planning. So far, land acquisition
has remained one of the favorite modes of land procurement for building new towns in
this area. However, currently land assembly has become a relatively popular means of
procuring land for development to build new towns whereby government authorities or
private entities directly negotiate with owners to procure land. In the same vein, the
DNGIR is also expected to be developed by largely assembling land from 84 villages.
However, some land acquisition is unavoidable.
Overall, the DNGIR is strategically located with the very high potential to become a
growing industrial hub in the vicinity of Greater Noida. Ample supply of water through
the Ganga Canal, uninterrupted power supply from Dadri power plant, and excellent
road, rail and most importantly upcoming global air connectivity through Jewar Airport
make the DNGIR a hugely advantageous location for modern industrial development.
Based on the brief contextual discussion above, the vision and objectives of the Master
Plan for DNGIR, 2041 has been discussed below.
1.2 VISION AND OBJECTIVES OF THE MASTER PLAN FOR DNGIR, 2041
Master Plan for the DNGIR 2041 envisions to promote economic buoyancy through
industrial development, and sustainability through inclusive planning and enhanced use
of renewable sources of energy. The objectives to achieve the vision are as follows:
10
To prepare the plan focused on economic buoyancy as well as sustainable
development.
New town development should be able to adapt to new situations whether political,
economic, and social. The DNGIR development is proposed in five phases, which will
allow for flexibility in the development process.
Water is a scarce resource in the investment region. The plan proposes that available
freshwater sources should be used in an efficient manner. Only water efficient
industries should be allowed in the area and rainwater harvesting shall be proactively
promoted. As far as possible, demand for potable water and industrial use should be
minimized by recycling and reuse. Adequate physical infrastructure is proposed to
ensure effective treatment of wastewater in the new town.
Increasingly knowledge and innovation are seen as the key drivers of a progressive
urban settlement. Knowledge City is proposed in the planning area where Education,
Medical- Hub and High-Tech industries and modern infrastructure will play a critical
role.
11
1.3.6 Minimize Negative Social Impacts
Master Plan for DNGIR 2041 proposes ‘no relocation policy’ of the existing population
living in villages. Instead of displacement of rural population, abadi areas are proposed
to be densified to create possibilities for incorporation of future population in the
existing rural settlements. Job creation for the farmers is also proposed through a
particular focus on the development of food production industry in the new town.
The Plan for DNGIR, 2041, further proposes an effective public transport system to
make available excellent internal accessibility by clear and functional road structure.
An existing or new town would surely generate waste of different kinds. To mitigate
major environmental impacts, Master Plan for DNGIR, 2041 proposes to reduce urban
and industrial wastes. A unique waste management system is envisaged with a proposal
for the development of an integrated solid waste management facility.
To actualize the above-mentioned objectives and sustainable goals, the Master Plan for
DNGIR, 2041 proposes several development strategies to:
(a) Develop it as a global manufacturing and trading hub and as an engine of economic
growth.
(b) Act as an incubator for innovation and startups for the development of new
technologies.
(c) House state of the art education hub as well as develop world class logistics
infrastructure to support industry and workforce.
(d) Develop smart infrastructure such as smart waste management and smart energy
production facilities.
(e) Conserve large water bodies to reduce dependency on fresh water sources by
recycling and reusing wastewater.
(f) Promote sustainable a model of development with low carbon footprint.
Keeping in view the democratic procedures and based on the statutory requirements,
inclusive and collaborative methodology has been followed for the preparation of the
Master Plan for the DNGIR, 2041. This included reconnaissance surveys, multiple field
visits, finalization and verification of planning area, and consultation workshops with
village pradhans, sarpanches, industrialists, and other important stakeholders, etc.
Several presentations were also made before stakeholders before finalization of the
planning proposals.
12
The existing policies for industrial development in Uttar Pradesh and the central
government were examined, and major provisions of these policies have been
incorporated in strategies for time bound development and action plans.
1.5 CONCLUSION
Master Plan for DNGIR 2041 is intended to plan sustainable and economically
developed industrial new town. The new town is planned to be developed as a major
investment hub due to the strategic spatial location and connectivity with the
surrounding areas making it accessible for building international trade and commerce.
The new town is expected to become a strategically important hub of industrial
development with many spin-off effects.

2. DEMOGRAPHIC CHARACTERISTICS
2.1 INTRODUCTION
The DNGIR planning area is comprised of 84 villages with 209.11 sq km area and
population of 1,51,778 as per Census of India 2011. Population projections of the DNGIR
are made based on all possible and pragmatic factors. However, the results may differ as
per the changing scenario over time.
According to the Census of India, 1991, before the formation of the Gautam Buddha
Nagar district, total population of the 84 villages located in the notified Dadri-Noida-
Ghaziabad-Investment-Region was 1,10,904. The 2001 census revealed that total
population residing in the 84 notified villages increased to 1,29,638, growing at a
decadal growth rate of 17 percent during 1991-2001. This decadal growth rate of 84
villages is slower when compared to decadal rural growth rate at national and state,
which is 18 percent, 17 percent respectively. This growth rate is, however, greater than
the district at 16 percent. Population in the notified villages increased to 1,51,778 in
2011 as per the census, growing at the rate of nearly 18 per cent during 2001-2011 (see
Table 2.1).
National and district decadal growth rate of rural population was 12 percent and 18
percent respectively during 2001-2011. Whereas the DNGIR decadal growth rate was
18 percent, which is higher than national growth rate, and equal to district growth rate.
As per Census of India 2011, children up to 15 years of age constituted 38.74 per cent of
the total population, whereas working age group of 16-60 years accounted for 55.05 per
cent. Within this age group, a relatively younger set of people between the ages of 15
and 40 years constituted as much as 40.79 per cent. Only 6.20 per cent of the population
consisted of citizens above the age of 60.
14
2.2.3 Sex Ratio
Sex ratio of population in the notified area was 889 as per Census 2011, which is on the
lower side as compared to sex ratio of 995 in rural areas of Uttar Pradesh.
The average literacy rate of the notified area as per the 2011 census is 59.94 per cent.
There are 4 villages in the investment region, which have a literacy rate of less than 40
per cent, which is extremely low. As per the Census 2011, the male literacy rate was
72.13 per cent and female literacy rate is only 50.33 per cent in 2011.
As per Census of India 2011, the average household size in villages in the DNGIR is 6
persons. Data further reveals that nearly 30.5 per cent of the households have a
household size of 4 to 5 persons. Of the remaining about 54.3 per cent of households
have more than 6 persons per household and 16.9 per cent have less than 4 persons per
household.
The existing population growth trends are beneficial for projecting population for the
plan period up to 2041.
With an average growth rate, the total population of abadi areas in the DNGIR is
projected as 2,47,693 persons in 2041. Adopting the middle path, an average decadal
population growth rate of 18 percent is assumed, which roughly equals the national
urban average population growth rate.
To calculate the total population of the DNGIR, it is assumed that the gross town density
for 2041 shall be approximately 30 persons per hectare (pph). Based on the town
density assumption, total population of the DNGIR is estimated to be 6,33,000, which is
to be accommodated within the DNGIR. This means 3,79,800 people need to be
accommodated in the DNGIR and in the surrounding towns (see Table 2.2).
It is further assumed that the workforce participation rate would be 40 percent of the
total population, which comes out to be 2,53,200 persons.
Table 2.2 reflects, a total 2,53,200 working population inclusive of workers employed
in supporting industries and service sector. Further, there will be 3,79,800 dependent
population. A three-pronged planning strategy has been adopted to accommodate the
total population of the DNGIR. A total population of 6,33,000 would be either
accommodated within abadi areas, planned residential areas and in industrial sectors
(see Table 2.3).
The proposed average residential density of the DNGIR is approximately 177 persons
per hectare. Total population of the DNGIR is 6,33,000 which will reside within gross
residential area of 3,568.40 hectare including the abadi areas measuring 1,425.98,
planned residential areas 1,384.54 hectare and nine percent of total industrial area i.e.,
757.88 hectare.
With a population of 2,47,963 persons, residential density within abadi areas would be
173 persons per hectare. Further, residential density within planned residential area
would be 166 persons per hectare where 2,20,727 population will be accommodated.
Furthermore, residential density within industrial sectors would be 217 persons per
hectare and shall accommodate 1,64,580 population (see Table 2.4).

It is proposed that abadi areas should be integrated with the new planned
developments to facilitate improved quality of life in the existing abadi areas. To achieve
the proposed density, various housing options are recommended to accommodate the
residents.
The Master Plan for the DNGIR 2041 intends to build a modern new town of 633,000
persons in about two decades. Most of the working population would be engaged in the
formal industrial sector and industrial workers would be housed within the three large
industrial areas. The population currently living in villages will not be displaced.
17
3. ECONOMY
3.1 INTRODUCTION
The economy is the backbone of a town to provide the financial basis for its physical
growth and wellbeing for the inhabitants.
The Master Plan for the DNGIR, 2041 focuses on the town's robust economy with the
goal of developing the new town as an industrial center for Uttar Pradesh. The unique
positioning of the township would play a critical role in establishing the town as a
national and worldwide destination for investors seeking to grow exponentially. This
chapter focuses on the workforce including workers participation rate, sectoral
distribution of workers, and the nature of future occupational structure.
The major source of livelihood within the DNGIR is predominantly agriculture. Out of
the total population, only 33 per cent of the population is classified as workers and 67
percent of the population falls in the category of non-workers. Significantly, out of the
total workers, 74 per cent are the main workers and 26 per cent are marginal workers.
Only one village has more than 80 per cent working population due to easy accessibility
to Eastern Periphery Expressway and NH-91, which provides economic opportunities in
the vicinity. 10 villages have 40 per cent to 60 per cent worker population and 70
villages have 20 per cent to 40 per cent. Another 2 villages have less than 20 per cent of
the worker population, and Raghunathpur village is un-inhabited.
Amongst the main workers, 48 per cent of workers are engaged in the primary sector as
agriculture laborers. The master plan recommends several strategies for the main,
marginal, and non-workers in the planning area.
Primary source of livelihoods of the existing population in the DNGIR is agriculture and
related activities with some industrial sector employment in surrounding areas.
The planning area being a greenfield township, 40 percent workforce participation rate
is being assumed, resulting in a total estimated workforce of 2,53,200 by 2041. The
remaining 60 percent is considered dependent population. Moreover, out of the total
workforce, 65 percent of these workers would be working in industrial sectors and the
rest 35 percent of workers would be engaged in non-industrial sectors such as the
service sector (see Table 3.1).

As per land use distribution, more than 40 per cent of land is allocated for industrial
development in the form of three large zones. These industrial sectors are considered as
engines of economic growth and act as a backbone for employment generation.

4. TRADE AND COMMERCE
4.1 INTRODUCTION
Trade and commerce are defined as fundamental economic activities. The area has
some commercial activity like dairy, poultry, fish, and agro-based trading of products.
The Plan proposes special zones near or within abadi areas for weekly markets to
promote economic activities, along with provisions of wholesale markets and mandis.
Apart from this, wholesale markets and mandis are given special emphasis within land
use of the DNGIR.

Commercial activities are earmarked mostly along 130-meter-wide arterial road and
along the planned residential sectors (see Figure 4.1). Apart from other commercial
centre, local wholesale markets and mandi, there will be community centers, weekly
markets, and organized informal eating spaces, convenient shopping and local shopping
at community and neighborhood levels. The commercial center is proposed along Sector
17-B Road, which passes through the DNGIR and connects Sikandrabad to Greater
Noida, Noida and YEIDA.
20
4.4 COMMERCIAL
Commercial activities are provided based on the projected population for 2041.
Commercial areas are distributed throughout the notified area but most of the
commercial activities are located in the north along the planned residential sectors and
in the city centre. These commercial areas include commercial center; local wholesale
markets or mandis; godowns for markets; and warehouses. Distribution of the
commercial activities is shown in Figure 4.1 and Table 4.2. The Master Plan proposes
nearly four percent land for commercial activities.
Use premises are defined in Table 4.3 along with the details about the activities that
could be undertaken in these use premises.

The area being green field and on the outskirts of already developed townships, mandis,
or physical, primary wholesale agricultural markets, are proposed for trading of goods.
4.4.2 Warehousing
A warehouse is the area for assembling, storing, and packaging goods. Land parcels have
been earmarked within the industrial zones where these warehouses would be
developed (see Figure 4.1). These warehouses can also be used for other similar kind
of uses like distribution centres, pick pack and ship warehouses, cold storage places, e-
commerce, etc.
Provisions for street vendors and informal units are being made to help develop
informal sector in an organized manner. To address the challenge of informal sector, the
Master Plan proposes allocation of spaces in consultation with relevant stakeholders.
These places would be located at high accessibility points to enhance vendors’ turnover.
The demarcation of vending zones and provision of civil facilities would be carried out
as per the provisions of the Uttar Pradesh Street Vendors (Protection of Livelihood and
Regulation of Street Vending) Rules, 2017.

5. HOUSING
5.1 INTRODUCTION
Housing provides shelter for safety, protection, and privacy, and it is regarded as one of
the basic human needs. Apart from being a human need, housing demand generates
stimulus for economic growth through construction and real estate development.
The housing situation in the abadi areas has been analyzed with respect to the existing
housing condition, number of houses, shortage, overcrowding and congestion, economic
status, availability of facilities, and various policies to meet gaps and requirements. To
meet the housing shortage various housing proposals are made.
The DNGIR is strategically situated, adjacent to major urban centers such as Greater
Noida and the Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority area. Due to well-
connected road network to other nearby towns such as Dadri, Noida, Ghaziabad, and
Delhi, abundant unsold housing inventories could be accessed (see Table 5.1).
Housing shortage in the abadi areas for 2011 was 6,308 dwelling units. For a projected
population of 6,33,000 persons, there is a housing need of 147,209 dwelling units when
calculated with a household size of 4.3. The Master Plan for DNGIR 2041 proposes to
accommodate this population within the planning area (see Table 5.2 and Figure 5.1).
Based on population growth trends, and assumed town density, the Master Plan for the
DNGIR, 2041 proposes 13.44 percent area is dedicated to residential use. This also
includes the abadi area of approximately 7 percent. Additionally, 757.88 hectares is
proposed i.e., 9 percent of the industrial area for industrial worker housing.

5.3.1 Hierarchy of Facilities
Population growth within abadi areas is projected to be 2,47,693 persons by 2041. Key
infrastructure services like piped water supply, modern sewerage system, closed drains,
road widening as per stipulated norms, and community facilities namely schools,
dispensaries, and community halls or marriage halls shall be provided in villages.
Residential sectors account for a total area of only 6.62 percent i.e., 1,384.54 hectares.
Further within the residential sectors, 42 percent (say 581.51 hectare) of the area is
permissible for residential development. 78 percent land is allocated under group
housing development and remaining 22 percent land would be allocated for plotted
housing (see Table 5.4).

Land is subdivided into plots for sale or lease to individuals for construction of new
housing in the form of plotted development. The plots can be carved out according to
the demand and salability, for low-income groups of the population, the minimum plot
size should not be less than 40 sq. m. However, the plot size may vary depending upon
the typology of housing need based on general affordability of people.
Group housing is a residential premise of size not less than 5,000 sq. m with housing for
more than one dwelling unit where land is owned jointly as in the case of cooperative
societies or public agencies, such as urban development authorities or housing boards.
Further, group housing is a residential premise with shared amenities like parking,
parks, convenience shops, public utilities, etc.
Since the DNGIR is proposed as an economic hub and 40 percent workers participation
rate is proposed, industrial laborers, supporting population and service sector residents
would immigrate to this new town. Affordable housing is required for industrial and
other workers. Therefore, group housing projects in the DNGIR shall largely target
lower income groups.
Most of the residential developments will be built in the form of group housing and
dormitories within industrial sectors. The Master Plan for DNGIR 2041 proposes to
promote industrial sectors with more affordable housing options
32
5.4 AFFORDABLE HOUSING SCHEME (PMAY-URBAN)
The Master Plan has four basic elements for addressing the housing needs and
demands. First, planned residential development is intended to accommodate the
expected population. Second, 82 abadi areas would be spatially integrated with planned
developments through planning and development of extended abadi areas as well as by
providing basic minimum utilities and facilities in all villages. Third, industrial housing
has been provided for industrial workers within industrial areas, which amounts to 9
percent of the total industrial area of the DNGIR. Fourth, to meet additional housing
requirements for the future, housing stock in the surrounding towns like Greater Noida
can be identified.

6. INDUSTRY
6.1 INTRODUCTION
Industrialization is the raison d'être of planning and building of the DNGIR. The key
benefits of industrial growth include enhanced employment, higher living standards,
increased investment, and overall economic growth, making available resources for
providing other utilities and facilities for better life for its residents.
The DNGIR is well connected via rail links, roadways like NH-91 or G.T. road, and
upcoming international airport and various other important links facilitating
transportation of raw materials and finished goods.
Over 16 per cent planning area is already developed as industrial area. The Uttar
Pradesh State Industrial Development Authority (UPSIDA) has developed two industrial
areas in the DNGIR. These areas are spread over an area of nearly 1370.10hectares.
Details of these industrial areas are provided in Table 6.1. Both these areas are
integrated with the current industrial planning and development proposals.
The UPSIDA has acquired land around Sikandrabad for the development of two
industrial areas. Sikandrabad – I Industrial Area located along the GT Road is spread
over an area of 605.76 hectares. To develop this industrial area, a part of 7 villages from
Bulandshahr district are acquired including Tilbegampur, Gopalpur, Nagala Chamroo,
Jokhabad, Rajarampur, Sanwali and Rajpur Khurd.
Currently, there are a total of 29 industrial units in the Sikandrabad – I Industrial Area.
The key industries in this industrial area include chemical, metal, fabrication, and
ceramics. Additionally, sugar mills, crockery manufacturing, and electrical goods
manufacturing are profit making firms. Thus, promoting Sikandrabad to progress from
an agro-based industry to a state-of-the-art machinery industry.
Although the Uttar Pradesh State Industrial Development Authority developed land to
build two industrial areas, industrial development has taken place only in one industrial
area. The Master Plan for the DNGIR, 2041 spatially integrates these two industrial
pockets into two large industrial areas, occupying nearly 40.27 percent of the planning
area of the DNGIR (see Table 6.1).

Total industrial area in the DNGIR is 8,420.91 hectares, which is nearly 40.27 per cent of
the planning area.
Three industrial areas are proposed in the DNGIR. One industrial area is located
towards the north, one at the centre alongside the Eastern Dedicated Freight Corridor
and the other towards the south of planning area (see Figure 6.1). Apart from
development of different kinds of industry, these areas are also equipped with go-
downs, warehousing facilities, utility areas, and public semi-public facilities.
Various state government policies such as the Uttar Pradesh Information Technology
and Start-Up Policy 2017-2022; Uttar Pradesh Industrial Investment and Employment
Promotion Policy, 2017; Uttar Pradesh Industrial Investment and Employment
Promotion Policy, 2017; Uttar Pradesh Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprise Promotion
Policy, 2017; Uttar Pradesh Electronics manufacturing policy, 2017; Handloom Power
Loom Silk Textile Garmenting Policy, 2017; Uttar Pradesh MSME and Export Promotion
policy, 2017; and Uttar Pradesh Food Processing Policy, 2017 would facilitate
development of proposed industries.
Freight movement pattern is also prioritized and augmented by roads proposed for easy
and uninterrupted movement of goods and logistics within and across the investment
region.
Industrial plots within the total industrial area account for 59 per cent i.e., 4,968.34
hectares, which is further divided into 2 groups of industries:
In 84 villages, a few villages like Anandpur, Phoolpur, Khandera Girirajpur, Nangla Sekh,
Hasanpur Jagir, Dharaun, Mahiuddinpur Nangla, etc. have brick kilns, which are a major
factor for increased air pollution in the investment region.
The Master Plan proposes that brick kilns should be relocated from industrial sectors as
provided in the Water Act, 1974; Water Cess Act, 1977; Air Act, 1981; and Environment
Protection Act, 1986. It is also proposed that the brick kilns would be relocated further
in the rural periphery, the exact locations may be decided at a later stage.
37
6.7 LOGISTICS AND WAREHOUSING
Three industrial areas are planned in the DNGIR. These areas are located around the
junction of Eastern and Western dedicated freight corridor, and they will be a
destination for industrialists and entrepreneurs in Uttar Pradesh. The DNGIR is the
perfect destination for setting up state of the art industries due to its nearness to the
Jewar airport. Various government policies further facilitate setting up of industries in
the DNGIR.
38
7. PUBLIC AND SEMI-PUBLIC
7.1 INTRODUCTION
Public and semi-public facilities provide quality of social life in a town. Zoning for major
institutional uses, public and semi-public uses has been proposed in different parts of
the plan. The entire study for assessing the requirement of different public and semi-
public facilities and space requirement is based on projected population. A total area of
1,935.9 hectare of land is proposed for institutions and other public semi-public
facilities.
Provision of accessible social and physical infrastructure is one of the key components
of a planned development. In the DNGIR, the facilities are evenly distributed all over the
planning area.
Higher order facilities at town level have been incorporated in the Master Plan. The
lower order facilities are included as part of the residential sectors. Public and semi-
public land use comprises of several components. The facilities proposed under public
and semi-public land use are universities, medical college, engineering college, other
professional colleges, nursing and paramedical, college, technical education, Integrated
school, hospitals, fair ground, convention centre, religious centre, fire and police
training centre, disaster management institute, other government offices as required.
The proposed education hub comprises of a university campus, colleges like medical
college, engineering college, other professional colleges. Nursery and higher secondary
schools have been proposed in every sector.
The Master Plan proposes to provide the norms for specialty hospitals along with
medical colleges and research centers. This would also constitute residential facilities
for the staff, students and some provision for boarding and lodging of relatives of
patients along with the provision for bio-medical waste treatment facility.
Police headquarters, district offices, fire stations shall be provided with essential
residential accommodation on site. A Disaster Management Centre is also proposed.
The public and semi-public facilities are to be located at highly accessible places like the
central spine as well as sub-arterial roads (see Figure 7.1).
40

7.3 PROPOSALS FOR PHYSICAL INFRASTRUCTURE IN THE DNGIR 2041
The Master Plan proposes embedded technologies, open data platforms, and artificial
intelligence to improve services, reduce congestion and build sustainable futures to
have a safer and more resilient communities.
Master Plan for the DNGIR 2041 has adopted a holistic approach to water management,
which has three parts:
Capture rain
Collect and treat used water and
Recycle water
Economic development within the watershed must take place in harmony with the
physical environment.
Water demand for the DNGIR is estimated at 300 MLD by 2041 including distribution
and transmission losses for a total population of 6,33,000. Within this, industrial water
requirement is estimated to be 212 MLD for an area of 84.21 sq km. The domestic water
requirement is estimated to be 135 LPCD whereas that of industrial area the demand is
25 kiloliter per day per hectare as per CPHEEO norms.
For sustainable ground water development, withdrawal of ground water shall be zero.
Upper Ganga Canal and its branches have been identified as the main source of water
intake. Broad provisions for the intake of water and its supply include:
Master Plan proposes to pump water from Upper Ganga Canal and its branches.
Water would be stored intermittently in reservoirs, which shall be designed based on
detailed engineering studies and investigations while formulating detailed project
reports.
Water stored in reservoirs shall be used to supply throughout the year.
An efficient water supply system for transmission from canal water to individual
households is proposed. The laying of the water supply network shall be executed as
per phasing. These are water intake, water treatment plants, clear water reservoirs,
distribution centers and distribution network.
Water quality requirements of various types of users will be different due to difference
in their nature of activities. Type of water treatment process to be adopted will depend
on the raw water quality. Water received from the Upper Ganga Canal and its branches
42
shall be tested to determine the quality and treatment methods. Type of water
treatment process to be adopted will entirely depend on the raw water quality.
The Master Plan proposes to have six water treatment plants, which would be located
near the water source to decentralize water supply network and have a balanced
distribution. Water network is proposed to be developed in a phased manner. The
capacity of each water treatment plant (WTP) and its land requirement shall be worked
out as per capacity (see Figure 7.2).
Dual piping system is proposed to be installed to supply both potable and reclaimed
water. Under this system, two separate water piping systems shall be used.
Figure 7.2: Water Supply Network and Location of Water Treatment Plants
43
7.3.1 Water Sensitive Storm Water Drainage
A separate storm water drainage network apart from sewerage system has been
proposed for the development. The aim is to collect the storm water and safely dispose
of storm water during rainy season.
44
7.3.2 Sewerage System
The design criteria to be followed for sewage collection, transportation and treatment
for the project are based on the recommendations laid down in the Manual of Sewerage
and Sewage Treatment as proposed by CPHEEO.
Drainage of the entire 209.11 sq km planning area slopes towards southeast. The
proposed land use plan divides the entire planning area into various zones. Based on
zoning pattern and per capita sewage generation norm, total sewage generated is
estimated to be 240 MLD (see Figure 7.1).
For industrial wastewater treatment, common effluent treatment plants (CETPs) are
proposed, which will treat and dispose of effluents generated from industrial areas. The
CETPs shall be installed as mixed effluent plants so that distinctive forms of wastewater
can be dealt with (see Figure 7.4).
45
Figure 7.4: Sewerage System for the DNGIR, 2041
The 84 villages are presently not served by sewerage network. Suitable treatment
technology has been worked out in terms of treatment efficiencies, land requirement,
approximate capital costs, power requirements and operation and maintenance costs.
The proposed capacity of STPs in each phase shall be designed taking into account the
entire residential and industrial loads based on the population projections.
46
(d) Reuse of Recycled Sewage
A safely operated wastewater treatment plant with tertiary treatment systems more or
less will guarantee that the treated or recovered water is 100 percent safe. In order to
conserve water treated wastewater can be utilized for non-potable purposes. It is
proposed to use treated wastewater for irrigation, gardening and horticultural purposes
in nearby farms.
Water required for gardening and horticulture: 22,500 litres per hectare as per the
URDPFI Guidelines 2015 = 72 MLD
Grey water available for treatment = 50 percent of the domestic water requirement
= 56.5 MLD
Solid waste generated can be broadly divided into the following categories including
Municipal Solid Waste, Plastic Waste, E – Waste, Bio – Medical Waste and Construction
and Demolition Waste (see Figure 7.5).
47
Figure 7.5: Waste Management and Electric Substation Sites for DNGIR, 2041
According to the draft EV Policy (2022-27) of Uttar Pradesh, charging stations will
be constructed on expressways at intervals of 25 km and within a 9 km radius in
urban areas.
8.1 INTRODUCTION
The Master Plan envisions a future integrated urban transportation system that is
sustainable, highly efficient, and appropriate. An accessible, extensive, and advanced
transportation system for the industrial town will be developed and integrated with the
regional transportation systems.
The area is surrounded by major industrial hubs like Delhi, Ghaziabad, Noida, Khurja
and Bulandshahr, and serves as an important link for the movement of daily commuters
and freight. The Master Plan identifies several key principles and planning strategies to
interlink the area with the surrounding region and upgrade the existing road network to
optimally use the existing resources.
Urban transportation systems shall be integrated within the new town, connected to the
other regions through EDFC and WDFC, focusing both on passenger and freight
transportation.
A hierarchy diagram is proposed where pedestrians have the highest priority and
private cars have the least priority. Freight movement is focused in this is an industrial
town (see Figure 8.1).
Pedestrain
Public transport
Frieght Movement
Private Cars
Walking and cycling are to be prioritized in sustainable cities. The quality of the walking
environment for children and the elderly is an important indicator for planning of a city.
The provision for future public transport has been made for metro on the median of the
central spine.
49
In the DNGIR, most of the traffic movement is from and towards north. In addition, to
address the travel demand management, various land uses, activities and facilities are
spatially distributed and multi nucleated so that traffic distribution and traffic
generation are spatially balanced.
Utility tunnels underneath the right of way of roads are provided so that during any
infrastructure maintenance it can be done without impeding vehicular or pedestrian
traffic above ground.
Mobility is a major component of this investment region for ease of freight, public and
private traffic. A dedicated bus transportation system is proposed within and across the
area to provide public transport to passengers.
Traffic in the new town is mixed, comprising of inter-region, intra-region and intra-
urban movements. It is a green field township. The proposed road network ensures a
balanced and efficient radial-cum-grid pattern of road system for enhanced accessibility
and connectivity of regional urban centres.
Proposed road network plan provides for a high capacity and high mobility in terms of
speed and rational movement pattern with segregation of different movement types at
appropriate spatial levels. Road Network Plan envisaged for the DNGIR is a hierarchical
system comprising of the following road system (see Figure 8.2):
The proposed arterial road is the median road running from the north to the south of
the planning area. This central spine of the road network divides the planning area into
two halves. The arterial road primarily caters to the needs of intra - regional centers and
intra-regional trips.
Adequate provision of goods traffic lanes with segregation from other vehicles shall be
provided in the suggested typical road cross-section of this road to ensure an
unimpeded movement of goods traffic to and from the area. The ROW ranges from 100
m to 130 m to facilitate high degree of mobility (increased capacity and speed) with
segregated traffic movement.
50
The sub-arterial roads primarily cater to the intra-regional trips and facilitate
movement of goods and passengers from various traffic generators such as industrial
areas, commercial areas, institutional areas, etc. and facilitate seamless regional
movement with its interface with regional arterials for inter-regional movement as well
as regional collector roads for intra-regional movement. Sub – arterials Roads are
planned with 75-105 m ROW.
51
Figure 8.2: Proposed Road Hierarchy, 2041
52
The Master Plan for the DNGIR also proposes a desirable performance criterion of
proposed roads (see Table 8.2).
According to the proposed population of 6.33 lakhs by 2041, it is estimated that nearly
2.3 lakhs transport trips are likely to take place by 2041 for which a dedicated bus
system centered on regional arterial and sub-arterial roads as trunk system with feeder
system by para-transit system and micro buses on regional roads would optimally meet
the mobility needs (see Figure 8.3).
53
Figure 8.3: Regional Road Network, 2041

8.4 REGIONAL LINKAGES AND ROAD WIDENING
In addition to the proposed arterial, sub-arterial and sector roads; other road links are
planned to integrate Greater Noida Phase I and Phase II, Noida, YEIDA and other major
towns located around the DNGIR. Roads are also suggested to connect the area with the
surrounding major projects like IITGNL. Regional linkages to achieve the following
goals:
(a) Proposed regional linkages connect the area with the upcoming Jewar Airport and
other major projects.
(b) Proposed regional road system provides for high-capacity segregated traffic
movement.
(c) Regional traffic generators such as MMTH, MMLH, MMLP are located along regional
arterial roads for high accessibility.
(d) Suggested elevated extension road via Lal Kuan connecting Meerut Expressway for
enhancing regional connectivity.
Further, the following regional linkages are also proposed (see Figure 8.4):
(a) Noida to the DNGIR area through Bandh Road running along river Yamuna.
(b) Rail spur to connect Delhi – Kolkata Rail Link with proposed Multi Modal Logistics
Hub.
(c) 100 m wide road connected with Sikandrabad city through the DNGIR.

DNGIR and connects Sikandrabad town to Dankaur village. The suggested ROW for this
road is 100 meters.
Proposed road connecting NH91, DNGIR and YEIDA: A new road link is proposed,
which connects the DNGIR, YEIDA and NH-91 within the DNGIR and ISBT.
105 m wide road from Greater Noida Phase I to Greater Noida phase II via DNGIR:
Already existing linkage of 105 meters ROW will connect Greater Noida and the DNGIR.
Road extension to connect Greater Noida Phase II: Various linkages are proposed for
integrating Greater Noida Phase 1 with DNGIR and Greater Noida Phase II. The
proposed roads will vary from ROW of 75-105 meters.
A comprehensive road network for the DNGIR planning area is proposed containing one
arterial road or central spine, two sub-arterial roads running almost parallel to the
central spine, and several sector roads (see Figure 8.5).

8.5 FACILITIES FOR MODAL INTERCHANGE
The proposed investment region in Uttar Pradesh Sub-region has been conceived as a
model industrial corridor of international standards with an emphasis on developing it
as a global manufacturing and trading hub.
The locational advantage of the DNGIR is considered important having its high
connectivity by Delhi-Howrah Railway Line and the proposed DFC corridor as an
integrated Multi Modal Logistics Hub (MMLH) along with Multi Modal Logistics Park
(MMLP).
The proposed MMLP for bulk cargo shall function as inter-modal freight handling
facility with mechanized material handling provisions containing warehouses,
specialized cold chain facilities, freight container terminals and bulk cargo terminals.
The services such as customs clearance, provision of processing activities such as
sorting or grading, aggregation, disaggregation, cold storage, etc. shall serve as a major
cargo consolidation and distribution hubs. The major functions of the MMLP will be:
(a) To act as hubs for freight movement enabling freight aggregation and distribution.
(b) To provide connectivity with road, rail, and other modes of transport in order to
promote multi-modal freight transportation.
(c) To provide modern mechanized warehousing spaces to satisfy requirements of
different commodity groups.
A MMTH having facilities such as inter – city bus terminal, rail terminal, intra – city bus
and para transit terminals, multi – level parking facilities, commercial and public semi –
public uses and a business centre equipped with offices and business hotel
accommodation is proposed in the western region at the confluence of Delhi Kolkata
railway line with proposed 105m ROW Road, which is located near the vicinity of the
DNGIR.
59
8.6 ORBITAL RAIL CORRIDOR
According to the functional Transport Plan of NCRPB, 2031, an orbital rail corridor of
100m width is proposed to enhance regional connectivity along the Eastern Peripheral
Expressway. The orbital rail is a freight and passenger connectivity, the same is passing
through the area, and a railway station is being proposed in the area. Last mile
connectivity is also proposed.
Lastly, pedestrian walkways’ design would be developed as per provisions under ‘IRC:
103 – 1988 Guidelines for Pedestrian Facilities’; and ‘Uttar Pradesh Road Development
Policy in 1998’.

9. RECREATION FACILITIES
9.1 INTRODUCTION
Recreational facilities are the essential components of urban infrastructure and provide
residents with an opportunity for relaxation, and social integration. Facilities like parks,
recreational places and green belts help in fostering healthy communities, promoting
conservation of natural resources and bring about environmental benefits.
The Master Plan for the DNGIR, 2041 relies on a comprehensive approach to identifying
the present needs of the residents and expected demands emerging due to future
development. The Master Plan incorporates elements of public realm to facilitate
community-wide access and utility. The plan proposes recreational facilities at three
levels: planned green spaces in the form of parks, designed recreational spaces
including sports facilities and green belts near major roads, and ecologically sensitive
areas, including village ponds.
The planning for DNGIR has been conscious about enhancing the quality of life in the
present abadi areas as well as the future developments.
The underlying concept is to preserve and improve natural green and blue assets, create
a hierarchy of well-dispersed green and recreational spaces and influence the
development of the DNGIR for enhanced sustainability. In addition to this, the plan
considers water bodies in the DNGIR as significant environmental assets and lays
emphasis on conserving and improving the existing ecologically sensitive areas.
Within the planning area of the DNGIR, green areas are proposed in the form of two
categories:
• Open spaces: These include neighbourhood parks and city level parks meant for
recreational and leisure use. The open spaces provided in Master Plan for the DNGIR
2041 are aimed to integrate the formal and informal open spaces and
interconnections amongst them to form a comprehensive green space system.
• Green buffers: These include green buffers along the main roads to mitigate noise
and pollution, and to protect and secure adjoining land uses, especially the existing
settlements, and sensitive landscape areas. Also, green buffers have been proposed
underneath the high-tension lines as well as along the canals, ponds and village
abadi areas to reduce noise pollution, enhance safety of residents, and to provide the
necessary ecological reserve for sensitive areas. Table 9.1 provides the details of the
proposed green buffer in the DNGIR.

Within the DNGIR, approximately 3,285.51 hectares of area is designated for town level
greens, and green buffers along roads and canals.
• Recreational areas: These are the areas designated for organized sports and other
recreational activities. A total of 470.05 hectares of recreational green spaces are
provided throughout the planning area which constitutes around 2.25 per cent of
the planning area of the DNGIR.
The existing 83 village ponds within the planning area have been identified for
protection and conservation. Out of 83 ponds, 21 of these ponds have an area of 1
hectare or more and would serve as essential ground water recharge areas. These water
bodies have been identified in Figure 9.1 and Figure 9.2 and their area is detailed in
Table 9.3.

It is proposed that a minimum of 9 meters width of area along the existing water bodies
is earmarked for plantations and green cover and this would act as no development
zone. The shoreline of these ponds would be fenced or marked to protect it from
encroachments in future. Along with this, the perimeter of water bodies would be
declared as an eco-sensitive area and dumping of any solid wastes in these areas would
be prohibited. If any encroachment exists on the banks of village ponds and canals, it
shall be removed.

10. LAND USE
10.1 INTRODUCTION
This chapter describes land use by analyzing the existing land uses, provides guidelines
and proposes the land use plan for the horizon year 2041.
As per Census of India 2011, the total population of the DNGIR planning area was
1,51,778. The total notified area of the DNGIR is 20,911.29 hectares (see Table 10.1).
Abadi areas are strewn around throughout the DNGIR planning area as shown in Table
10.1.
66
Figure 10.1: Planning Area, 2041
67
10.3 LAND USE 2021
The planning area is a green field area comprising of agriculture, abadi areas and a few
industrial plots. Out of the total area of 209.11sq km of the DNGIR, residential land use
occupies 14.57 sq km i.e., 6.88 per cent, agriculture occupies a massive area of 185.39 sq
km i.e., 88.66 per cent, industrial area accounts for only 5.58 sq km i.e., 2.64 per cent.
Remaining area is partly commercial and public and semi-public use occupy an area of
1.38 sq km i.e., 0.65 per cent, water bodies take up 0.59 sq km i.e., 0.28 per cent, and
transportation occupies an area of 1.54 sq km i.e., 0.73 per cent (see Figure 10.2).
68
Figure 10.2: Land Use of the DNGIR, 2021

10.4 PLANNING CONCEPT FOR THE DNGIR, 2041
Master Plan for the DNGIR, 2041 focuses on the following land use zones:
Residential Zone: Existing Abadi, Planned Residential Sectors and Planned Areas
for Industrial Housing.
Commercial Zone: Commercial areas, Building Materials Markets, Wholesale
Markets or Mandis, etc.
Industrial Zone: Proposed industrial area, industrial area under UPSIDA and mix
industrial use areas.
Recreational zone: Regional Park, Playground, Sports Complex, Road Green
Buffer, etc.
Public and Semi-Public Zone: Educational and health care facilities, convention
centres, Government Offices, Corporate Offices, PSUs, and Semi-Government
Agency offices, etc.
Transport and transportation Zone: Logistics and Warehousing, Railways
Station and Yard, Railway, Multimodal Passenger Terminal, ISBT, etc.
Water bodies: Village Ponds, and Canals.
Public Utilities: Electric and Solar Power, Solid Waste Management Sites, Water
Supply,Wastewater Management, etc.
Master Plan for the DNGIR, 2041 envisions a world class new town offering multiple
opportunities for investment in industry, higher learning, creativity and innovation, and
human wellbeing. The aim is to develop a modern city with sensitivity towards the
existing rural settlements and their way of life and protection of zones with ecological
significance. The Master Plan includes the following important elements:
Following are the key planning ideas used for the development of the industrial
township development (see Figure 10.3):
Commercial centre shall provide an identity to the DNGIR and its high-rise iconic
buildings would act as symbols of modernist city planning in the region.
Central spine shall function as a multi modal transit line. Ground level shall be
used for motorized vehicular movement.
70
Along with the central spine and city center, high rise developments are proposed.
So, transit oriented development can be taken up in future.
A mix of facilities can be placed around these nodes and sub-nodes.
One sub-node should be converted into transit hub primarily to facilitate
transportation of goods and people.
City center and sub-city centers would act as nodes of high accessibility.
71
10.5 PROPOSED ZONING FOR THE DNGIR
Master Plan for the DNGIR, 2041 is prepared to accommodate and facilitate proposed
developments in the investment region for the next 18 years. The overall spatial
strategy allocates land for different uses having different sizes in specific areas.
The spatial integration of land uses would result in minimizing travel distance within
the town to 15 minutes, and maximizing a vibrant and lively character of all parts of the
settlement.
Master Plan for the DNGIR, 2041 has developed various strategic principles for the
planning area based on the following considerations:
Broad land use distribution is presented in Figure 10.2. Total area earmarked for
planned residential use is 28.11 sq km, which comes out to be 13.44 percent of the total
area. Commercial area accounts for 8.50 sq km i.e., 4.06 percent whereas public and
semi-public areas excluding utilities are proposed to be 17.40 sq km or 8.32 percent.
The industrial area has the greatest share in land use distribution i.e., 40.27 percent and
is spread over 84.21sq km. green areas cover 15.71 percent of the planning area and
these are proposed along with 2.25 percent of recreational area.
Further details of various land uses, as proposed in the planning area are explained
below (see Figure 10.4):
In the DNGIR, the residential land use comprises of the following parts:
The residential areas are proposed to be developed based on the neighborhood concept,
making provisions of all community facilities and services as per sector population and
density.
73
10.6.2 Commercial Use
The main commercial center is located at the center of the township. Its main function is
to create an attractive and competitive environment for trade and commerce, and
provide space for corporate businesses and offices.
An education hub, healthcare centres, government offices, corporate offices, etc. are
proposed, which is expected to stimulate many different activities in the new town.
This land use comprises of public utilities and facilities like water and waste-water
treatment areas, sewage management sites, solid waste and e-waste management sites,
electrical substations etc.
Industrial use is the most significant land use as the township is basically focused on
industrial development. The industrial land use comprises of the following components:
Proposed open spaces are meant to integrate formal and informal open spaces,
connecting them to form a comprehensive system of parks and open spaces.
It comprises of existing village ponds and canals and proposed water bodies or recharge
areas.
74
10.6.8 Traffic and Transportation
The Master Plan is based on multi-modal transport strategy covering both public and
private transport. A good system of roads, logistic facilities, intermodal connectivity,
and public transport system matching transport demand are proposed to be developed.
Transportation areas have been earmarked for transport and logistics use for roads,
Multimodal Passenger Hub, ISBT, railway line or yard, Metro Railway, etc. The proposed
hierarchy of road network is proposed as follows:
130 m wide main arterial road i.e., Central Spine from north to south
105 m wide sub-arterial road
75 m wide sector or collector roads
Located in the north and south of the proposed town, the Logistics Park and Logistics
Hub respectively shall take advantage of the proximity to major trade areas and shall
act as the primary interface between neighboring townships like Greater Noida in the
north and YEIDA in the south. As such appropriate areas have been earmarked for
warehousing, offices complex and wholesale trade around the MMTH zone as
strategically located nodes are equally distributed across the new town.

11. PHASING OF DEVELOPMENT
11.1 INTRODUCTION
The phasing of development is a key to the success of the DNGIR as it guides the
processes of land procurement, availability of funds, sequence of development activities
in the DNGIR and more importantly, the setting up of industries. Development of the
DNGIR shall be carried out in five phases.
11.3.1 Phase I
The first phase shall start from 2024 which includes direct land purchase of 1,432.71
hectares of land from the land owners and develop it to arterial and sub-arterial roads.
This phase shall continue till 2028, with land acquisition or purchase starting from 2024
at 10, 20, 30 and 40 percent at respective years and land development starting at 2025
till 2028 with the same percent share as that of land acquisition or land purchase (see
Table 11.1 and Figure 11.1)

Figure 11.1: Phase I of DNGIR (2024 – 2028)
11.3.2 Phase II
This phase shall start from late 2028 and end in late 2034. Phase-II involves
development to be carried out in the northern and southern parts of the planning area
with 15 percent or 3,136.69 hectares of land development. The reasons for the selection
of this phase of development in this manner are listed as follows:
79
In the northern parts residential and commercial areas are developed due to rapid
expansion of settlements in those areas due to the presence of existing industrial
units of UPSIDA.
Southern parts of the industrial areas are developed because of its proximity to the
upcoming Jewar Airport.
New Administrative Office of Noida Authority is also developed in this phase to
facilitate governance of the new town.
With the rollout of infrastructure and development activities during this phase, it is
expected that great development pressure will be built on adjoining abadi areas (see
Figure 11.2)
Figure 11.2: Phase II of DNGIR (2028 - 2034)
This phase shall involve development of a commercial hub including the central
commercial hub, PSP and industrial areas along the Eastern Peripheral Railway Line.
This phase shall start from late 2033 and end in late 2039. The industrial areas in the
north are also developed in this phase. In this phase 28 percent or 5,908 hectares of
land is developed. The central part shall have relatively higher densities, and mixed uses
with active street frontages for much of its length. The central spine would act as the
most important route along which important commercial and civic centres shall be
established with higher level public facilities benefiting the larger investment region
(see Figure 11.3)
81
11.3.4 Phase IV
This phase shall involve development of the industrial areas, public semi-public spaces
and residential areas in the south. This phase shall start from late 2037 and end in late
2043. This phase will support the developed areas of the southern region of Phase I (see
Figure 11.4)
82
11.3.5 Phase IV
The last phase shall include the remaining developments in the central part. This phase
should be extended till 2047 to commemorate the hundred years of India’s
Independence (see Figure 11.5)

The Zoning regulations identify land uses such as residential, commercial, industrial,
institutional, public, and semi-public facilities, transportation, parks, open spaces, and
other specific land uses. The zoning regulations are also required for the ancillary or
incidental activities that are not shown separately on the land use map. To ensure
public health, welfare, and security of the public, provisions of ancillary or incidental
activities or utilities are required to be made by competent authority in accordance with
the zoning regulations and the specific requirements of a particular scheme.
One of the goals of the Master Plan is to create balanced and livable city with a coherent
social life. Public should be able to live a healthy lifestyle, get access to work through
public transport system, and it should be a child friendly city The foundation of the
development will be based on equity, justice, and legal certainty. The Master Plan
specifies various land uses in conformity with use premises and other critical issues.
The different activities or utilities to be provided or planned in the proposed main land
use categories are as under:
(a) Permitted Uses: These activities or utilities are ancillary to the main land use and
are planned and permitted.
95
(b) Conditional Permissible Uses: These activities will be planned or allowed under
specific conditions keeping in view the infrastructure and its environmental
impact on the surrounding areas.
(c) With Special permission of Board: These activities can be permitted if the Board
of the Authority permits.
(d) Not Permitted: These activities shall not be permitted in the particular land use.
The urban form should allow for development flexibility while also providing
opportunities for easy development of public infrastructure and facilities like
transportation space, physical and social infrastructure, green space, urban forest, and
water bodies.
As per the Noida Master Plan, 2011, a percent of the area is designated for residential
use. This residential use comprises of newly planned residential area and in the existing
abadi area. The use areas within the proposed residential areas will have group housing
as per the design guidelines. The subdivision of use premises at sector level will include:
(a) Greens and Open spaces: The minimum area required for playgrounds, parks, and
tot lots under the green and open space category must adhere to the provisions of
Building Regulations of Noida, 2010. The area designated as green spaces in the
master plan is exempt from inclusion in the sector's or scheme's designated green
space. The green and open space must have a minimum average width of 7.5 meters.
If they meet the community's need green and open spaces can take many different
forms.
(b) Circulation: A vehicular road must have a minimum right of way of 13.5meter.
However, if the road is adjacent to a park or other open area with a building on only
one side, it may have a minimum width of 12 meters. A 9.0-meter-wide dead-end
road may be 100 meters length. At the dead end of the road, there must be a cul-de-
sac with a 7.5-meter radius. Cul-de-sacs for roads shorter than 25 meters in length
are not necessary. Apart from these norms road widths are given in the below Table
12.2 and Table 12.3 with respect to the length of the roads.

Apart from the residential use premise, and abadi area, the residential development will
also be incorporated in other land uses. For example, affordable group housing shall be
incorporated in the case of the industrial sector where the maximum permissible
ground coverage is proposed to be 50 percent with maximum plot size being 4,000 sq
m.
With the anticipated demand for residential and institutional spaces, various
commercial centre shall be developed at strategic locations. Commercial and financial
activities will be concentrated primarily in the city center and the other sub-city
centers. The city centre will be built as a top-notch business district in the centre of the
city with access to public transportation. Additionally, a wholesale market is also
proposed in the planning area.
97
Extensive zoning for major institutional uses, and public semi-public areas have been
proposed in different parts of the new town. The various heads under which these
facilities are provided are educational, healthcare, socio – cultural, distribution services,
safety management, police and administration facilities. Within the public semi-public
premises, there are distinct activities which are either permitted or are permissible
under certain conditions.
12.6.5 Greens, Parks, Open Spaces, Recreational Greens and Water Bodies
Green buffers occur along the main roads to mitigate noise and pollution, and to protect
and secure adjoining land uses, especially the existing settlements, and sensitive
landscape areas. Therefore, green buffers have been proposed around water bodies and
along roadsides, which would also have an ecological function with respect to the
proposed sustainable drainage system.
The proposed open space system consists of city level parks and ecological areas, which
would also have an ecological function with respect to the proposed sustainable
drainage system.
Within the recreational area there are distinct activities which are either permitted or
are permissible under certain conditions (see Table 12.4).
3. Solar Panel Solar farms or solar panels area permissible as a part of the green buffer
and Solar around the water body only at certain conditions.

12.7.2 Clearance with Respect to the Power Lines
The Right of Way (ROW) for high voltage power line is the strip of land immediately
below and adjacent to a transmission line. The width of ROW required for a high voltage
transmission line is based on the consideration for safety clearance as per measures
relating to safety and electric supply. CEA Regulations 2010, Electromagnetic Field
(EMF) exposure limits and design consideration for tower structure shall be followed.
The ROW also provides an access corridor for maintenance of transmission lines. The
graphical representation of the clearances required for High Voltage lines are shown in
Figure 12.1.
Source: Power Corporation of India Guidelines for High Voltage Line (2010).
As per current practice, the width of ROW and corridor requirement for the
transmission lines of different voltage levels are shown below in Table 12.5
99
According to the current Indian Electricity Rules, no building additions or renovations
may be performed to a building on a site within the distances listed below from any
overhead electric supply lines. This prohibition includes any building projections. Error!
eference source not found.6 shows the clearance with respect to the power lines.
Solar power plants on the building rooftops that cover 50 percent of the clear rooftop
area are required for all structures (commercial, institutional, and industrial buildings)
with more than 10,000 sq m of built-up area as well as residential structures including
group housing with 100 dwelling units or more and integrated townships with 10
hectares or more area. Guidelines on Off-Grid and Decentralized Solar Applications and
Rooftop and Other Small Solar Power Plants set by the Ministry of Renewable Energy,
Government of India, must be adhered to while installing solar power plants on building
rooftops.
The buildings implementing this provision shall be granted additional 10 percent FAR
over and above the prescribed FAR for land use typology. Building plans that are
submitted for the competent authority's approval by the applicant must explicitly
disclose information on rooftop solar power plants, based on which the competent
authority shall provide additional FAR. When granting the building completion
certification, the competent authority shall make the completion and operation of the
rooftop solar power plant a necessary requirement.
