The Capital is impatiently waiting to undergo the sweeping changes with the New Delhi Master Plan 2021, which was notified on Wednesday night, after winning over the main hurdle of its way – the Supreme Court’s scrutiny. Much of its growth will continue with commercial spaces including offices and shops dotting residential colonies.

The New Delhi Master Plan paves the way for construction of taller buildings which is supposed to bring in “redensification” of present colonies. This will allow the houses to acquire fourth which higher floor ratio (FAR) which has made possible by new higher floor area ration mentioned in the Plan.

Indeed, the buildings in Delhi can now go up to 14 to 16 floors – if constructors and property developers can join an area of at least 4,000 sq m. However, freedom must go hand in hand with responsibilities. These developers will only be allowed to lay foundation of their skyscrapers if they take care of three things including a proper set up of an effluent treatment plant to prevent choking of the sewer age system, incorporating solar panels to generate some power. Last but not the least is a promise to build underground parking space.

Now comes a turn of Government to fulfill its promises. As per the provisions laid in Delhi Master Plan 2021, high-rise tenements would be constructed where slums currently sprawl. All care has been taken. Each tenement will contain a built up area of 25 sq m. The plan has been made with keeping economically weaker sections in view. It promises that 50% of all new housing accommodations in the city will be for the poor. Union Cabinet has legalized 1,500 unauthorized colonies. However, neither the final list nor the full Plan document has yet been released. The court cannot decide whether the new Delhi master plan 2021 be able to achieve what it envisages thereby making Delhi a world class city.
