The National Capital Region Planning Board (NCRPB) has approved the 'Draft Regional Plan 2041' according to which the National Capital Region (NCR) is likely to reduce in size.
NCR is a region envisaged in 1985 for coordinated urban development in and around Delhi.
Currently, the NCR consists of 24 districts in Uttar Pradesh, Haryana and Rajasthan and entire Delhi, spread across an area of 55,083 square kilometres. The size of the region will be a contiguous circular region of 100km radius from Rajghat (Delhi). The area in the 100km radius can be developed as a core area.
The DRP 2041 Plan will pave the way for a future-ready, slum-free National Capital Region
