METROPOLITAN TRANSPORT AUTHORITY
ROADS -Delhi is planned on a ring – radial pattern with a
hierarchical road network. Broadly, the road network is designed
for regional, intra – city and local traffic.
1. National Highways- The recommended minimum right of way
(ROW) is 90 meters, wherever possible. However, within the
city it shall not be less than 60meters. All the National
Highways within the NCTD are to be access controlled upto
the Outer Ring Road.
2. Arterial Roads -These include primary roads with access
control and other primary roads. i) Primary Roads: Vehicular
routes carrying heavy volumes of traffic will generally have free
flow conditions. There will be access control on these roads.
The recommended ROW in existing urban area is 60-80 mts.

3. Sub Arterial Roads -These include primary and secondary
collector streets.
(i) Primary Collector: These roads will connect major arterial roads
and inter residential district collectors. The recommended ROW in
existing urban area is 30-40 mts. and minimum 45 mts
Local Streets -These are intended for neighbourhood (or local)
use on which through traffic is to be discouraged. The suggested
ROW is 12 to 20 mts.
METROPOLITAN TRANSPORT AUTHORITY

LAND DISTRIBUTION
 Residential : 50-55 %
 Commercial : 2-5%
 Industrial use : 10-12%
 Public and semi public – 8-10 %
 Open spaces
 parks – 10-15 %
 playgrounds • Communication – 15-18%
 Other special uses – about 5 %

Housing need is for 24 lakh new houses till 2021 for
population of 23 Million.
For 24 lakh houses, we need proportionate no. of shops.
Provide them at the time we plan for the residential complex.
This concept should be built at the planning stage so that
shops and other commercial
establishments can come up along with houses.
HOUSING

There is a very feeble act in the master plan: The
master plan suggests the following densities for
various categories.
 ◦ Slum housing (up to 30 sq.m)-600 DUs/Ha
 ◦ Category I (above30-upto40sq.m.)-500 DUs/ Ha
 ◦ Category II (above40-upto80sq.m.)-250 DUs/ Ha
 ◦ Category III (above80sqm) - 175 DUs/Ha
◦ The Master plan has varying density like 30sqm
i.e. 600 dwelling units per Hectare its impossible
to achieve that.
HOUSING

MIXED LANDUSE
PROBLEMS
 The constant presence of outsiders/shoppers with no local loyalty
will erode
 residential quality and endanger the women, the children and the
aged
 The water supply & power situations would be worsen.
 Vehicular movement with increased parking & goods supply would
create chaos with
 housing areas
SOLUTIONS
 Segregating entry points into housing and shopping areas as an
exclusive public
 Domain for residential use which alone provide safety.
 Parking of housing should be separated and commercial parking
should be severely
 Restricted. This would not only reduce vehicular nuisance , noise and
dust pollution
 But would also indirectly control the size of commercial activity.
 Water, Electricity sewerage and solid waste disposal etc would
require increased

 Vision 2021 is to make Delhi a global metropolis and a
WORLD CLASS city.
 What the term “world class” means is undefined except
somewhat commitment “where all the people would be
engaged in productive work witha better quality of life,
living in a sustainable environment”.
 Though, this statement should logically apply to all
settlements and societies, whether “world class”or not.

The existing capacity of sewerage system in Delhi is grossly inadequate,
as only about 55% of the population is covered under organised
conventional sewerage system and about 15% under on-site sanitation
systems.
Rest of the population does not have proper access to sanitation
facilities. The increasing pollution in the river Yamuna is also a major
indicator of lack of sewerage treatment facilities.
Planning of the city must incorporate land at appropriate location for
STP’s, sewerage pumping stations, CETP’s etc.
 Recycling plants of treated waste water and a plan for recycling of
treated waste water to meet nonpotable water needs. Common effluent
treatment plants (CETP’s) with supportive distributive infrastructure i.e.
conveyance system has to be laid to carry treated wastewater from STP’s
to the areas for alternative uses.
Decentralised STP’s with smaller capacities are to be provided at the
subcity level (10 lakh population). Possibility of recovering energy/ gas
SEWERAGE

Drainage has two aspects: flood protection and storm water
discharge, which are interrelated.
The storm water and flood protection in Delhi are not local but
have
regional bearing including areas of Haryana
and Rajasthan.
The main drainage system of
Delhi is such that all water collected through main drains, link
drains and small rivulets is
discharged into Yamuna.
On the basis of topographical characteristics and existing
drainage network,
NCT of Delhi has been divided into five drainage basins namely
Najafgarh, Alipur,
Shahdara, Khushak nallah and Mehrauli.
DRAINAGE

Delhi’s requirement of power in the year 2021 as tentatively estimated by
Delhi Transco Ltd, is 8800 mw based on 16th Electricity Power Survey of
India, CEA.
To meet this demand, the concerned agencies need to augment the
power supply and improve the transmission and distribution system.
 A 400 kv ring is being set up around Delhi to draw power from northern
regional grid.
The additional power requirement would be met from local generation
and allocated share from the grid system. The projected arrangement for
both local generation and central allocation is given in Table 14.5.
 The actual requirement should be monitored and arranged as per
seasonal demand.
