Ghaziabad: The Uttar Pradesh government has finally approved the Ghaziabad Master Plan 2031, after seven years of planning, revisions, and four separate attempts. This approval gives the city a new direction for planned growth and strengthens its position in the Delhi-NCR region.
The Master Plan integrates Ghaziabad, Loni, and Modinagar/Muradnagar areas, covering approximately 33,543 hectares. It includes zones for residential, commercial, industrial, transport, and recreational development.
A major focus is on Transit-Oriented Development (TOD), with 4,261.43 hectares earmarked around the RRTS corridor and 636.61 hectares near metro corridors as TOD zones. This approach aims to improve connectivity, reduce traffic congestion, and promote sustainable urban development.
Ghaziabad’s population was around 3.1 million in 2021, projected to rise to 6.4 million by 2031. To manage this growth, the plan promotes vertical development (high-rise buildings), industrial clusters, and Special Development Areas (SDA). This ensures optimal land use and generates more employment opportunities.
Despite the positives, the plan identifies 1,391 hectares (about 4% of the city’s total area) as non-conforming or unplanned land. This could lead to unauthorized colonies if not strictly monitored, posing challenges for planned urban growth.
The approval opens new avenues in Ghaziabad’s real estate sector, particularly in TOD zones and SDA areas, attracting investors. According to CREDAI officials, flexible FAR (Floor Area Ratio) regulations under the new plan are expected to accelerate real estate development.
Tronica City, one of Ghaziabad’s fastest-growing residential and commercial hubs, is expected to benefit significantly from the Master Plan 2031:
Improved Infrastructure:
Better road connectivity to RRTS and metro corridors.
Planned parking zones and logistics facilities will reduce traffic congestion.
Increase in Property Value:
TOD and SDA development nearby may boost real estate prices.
More commercial projects and mixed-use developments are expected.
Enhanced Amenities:
Planned parks, recreational zones, and community facilities will improve living standards.
Employment Opportunities:
Industrial and logistics growth will create new jobs for residents.
Tronica City residents and investors can expect long-term growth, better urban planning, and improved lifestyle thanks to these changes.
The plan includes developing a 100-acre logistics park in Dasna and Fatehabad Nithora (Loni) and truck parking zones in Teela Mod, Farukh Nagar Road, Morta, and Bhojpur. These initiatives aim to improve traffic management and boost employment in the logistics sector.
The approval of Ghaziabad’s Master Plan 2031 is a significant step toward holistic city development. It promotes residential and commercial growth while addressing employment, transport, and land-use challenges. Tronica City, in particular, is set to see enhanced infrastructure, property value growth, and better living conditions, making it a key beneficiary of the new plan.
