The Delhi Development Authority (DDA) on Sunday (August 30, 2026) published a comprehensive set of Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) on its website to make the Master Plan for Delhi-2047 (MPD-2047) easier for citizens and stakeholders to understand and enable their active participation in the city’s development.The directions to make the MPD-2047 more accessible to people came from Lieutenant-Governor Taranjit Singh Sandhu, who is also Chairperson of the DDA.“The initiative reflects DDA’s commitment to making the implementation of the Master Plan a participatory and inclusive process, with greater awareness, dialogue and collective stakeholder engagement contributing towards building a more sustainable, connected, inclusive and future-ready Delhi,” the DDA said in a statement.The DDA said that the FAQs provide citizens and stakeholders with simple, easily accessible information on the various provisions of the Plan and cover a wide spectrum of subjects, including general provisions, Development Control Norms, redevelopment, heritage and public spaces, Land Pooling Policy, Transit Oriented Development (TOD), High Density Corridors (HDC), Low Density Areas (LDA), and In-situ Slum Rehabilitation (ISR).The FAQs also address several practical aspects of MPD-2047, including land use and permissible activities, Floor Area Ratio (FAR) and plot requirements, parking, Transferable Development Rights (TDR), eligibility and development models under Land Pooling, and eligibility, development norms and approval processes under TOD and other policies. The resource is intended to help citizens, landowners, professionals, developers, residents’ groups, and other stakeholders better understand the provisions and opportunities envisaged under the Master Plan. DDA has also introduced the “MPD-2047 (Feedback)” facility through its Citizen Services platform, enabling citizens and stakeholders to directly share their suggestions and feedback related to the Master Plan. The feedback facility gives citizens and stakeholders a direct way to share their views with DDA, supporting ongoing dialogue and a more participatory approach to the MPD-2047.These digital initiatives run parallel to the DDA’s ongoing three-month stakeholder engagement programme, under which 20 meetings are scheduled on various aspects of MPD-2047. The engagement will bring together elected representatives, government agencies and service providers, industry bodies, architects and planners, residents’ and group housing representatives, farmers and landowners, and other concerned stakeholders.
