New Delhi: The long-awaited Delhi Master Plan 2041 and the NCR Regional Plan 2041 are expected to be notified soon, with all major formalities nearing completion, Union Minister for Housing and Urban Affairs Manohar Lal announced on Monday.
Addressing a press conference in New Delhi, the minister stated that the draft MPD 2041 has already undergone a comprehensive multi-level approval process involving the Municipal Corporation of Delhi, the Delhi Government, the Delhi Development Authority (DDA), and the Land & Development Office.
