The Delhi Master Plan 2041 will be implemented in the near future, with 48 villages in the national capital set to be urbanized, Public Works Department Minister Parvesh Verma said Saturday, as reported by The Economic Times.
Speaking during a visit to Daulatpur village in southwest Delhi, Verma said the initiative marks a transformative step in Delhi’s development strategy. “The long-awaited Master Plan 2041 is in its final stages and will be implemented very soon,” he said. “Our goal is not just to create policies, but to transparently implement them on the ground with accountability.”
Verma said the plan will modernize Delhi’s rural belt, bringing essential infrastructure and public services to areas that have long lacked access. The urbanization effort will include paved roads, proper drainage systems, consistent water supply, street lighting, schools, and healthcare facilities.
In a significant announcement, the minister also declared that the first registry of properties under the Lal Dora category would be provided free of cost. The move is expected to resolve decades-old property ownership disputes and allow residents to obtain legal documentation without incurring any fees.
“This plan will change the face of Delhi’s villages and ensure that rural populations receive the same level of facilities as those in urban zones,” Verma said.
According to a statement from Verma’s office, the Master Plan 2041 represents a historic shift in the capital’s urban planning, aiming to integrate rural areas into the mainstream development framework and raise their standard of living.
