## Report on Proposed Modification to the Master Plan for Delhi 2021 **1. Executive Summary:** This report analyzes a public notice issued by the Delhi Development Authority (DDA) regarding a proposed modification to the Master Plan for Delhi (MPD) 2021 and the Zonal Development Plan of Zone E. This is an amendment, not a new policy. The core purpose of the amendment is to change the land use of a specific site in Trilokpuri from a combination of Electric Sub Station, Indira Gandhi Mahila Park and Sanjay Lake falling in Planning Zone, to Commercial Residential. The report details the specific changes, target stakeholders, inferred implementation aspects, and expected outcomes based on the provided DDA notice. **2. Introduction:** The purpose of this report is to provide an informative analysis of the public notice issued by the Delhi Development Authority (DDA) concerning a proposed modification to the Master Plan for Delhi (MPD) 2021 and the Zonal Development Plan of Zone E, as published in The Gazette of India. The analysis is based solely on the information contained within the provided text. **3. Policy Overview:** * **Original Policy Being Amended:** Master Plan for Delhi 2021 and Zonal Development Plan of Zone E. * **Core Objective(s) (Inferred):** The MPD 2021 aims to guide the planned development of Delhi. This amendment seeks to modify land use designations within Zone E, presumably to better align with current needs or development goals. **4. Background and Rationale:** This document presents an *amendment* to existing planning documents. The rationale for this *specific amendment* (changing the land use designation of the site in Trilokpuri) is not explicitly stated in the text. However, it can be inferred that the DDA believes a change from Electric Sub Station, Indira Gandhi Mahila Park and Sanjay Lake falling in Planning Zone to Commercial Residential development at this specific location is beneficial for the overall development objectives of Zone E and the city. This may be driven by factors such as demand for commercial and residential space, revised development priorities, or a desire to optimize land utilization. **5. Key Provisions / Changes:** This section focuses on the *specific changes* introduced by the amendment: * **Specific Part of Original Policy Being Changed:** Land use designation within the Zonal Development Plan of Zone E, specifically for a site in Trilokpuri. * **New Rule/Provision:** The land use of a site at Trilokpuri, measuring 88,193.03 Sqm, is proposed to be changed from existing Land Use as per MPD 2021 ZDP of Zone E North: Electric Sub Station as per ZDP of Zone E South: Indira Gandhi Mahila SanjayLake falling in Planning Zone E East: 30m RoW Road as per ZDP of Zone E West: Sanjay Lake, to Commercial Residential. * **Difference/Effect of Change:** The amendment permits Commercial Residential development on land previously designated for Electric Sub Station, Indira Gandhi Mahila Park and Sanjay Lake falling in Planning Zone. This means the site can now be used for purposes that were previously prohibited, opening up opportunities for commercial and residential projects. **6.
