Summary of Dharuhera Master Plan 2021
INTRODUCTION
Dharuhera, located on the junction of National Highway No. 8 and Palwal-Sohna-Rewari road at a distance of about 72 Kilometer from Delhi, is the fastest growing census town in the state of Haryana, India. Dharuhera comes under Delhi NCR region and it has fast developed into an industrial hub.
Dharuhera is the new growth corridor of Gurgaon and New Delhi. It is only an hour drive from the Indira Gandhi International Airport and 27km from Gurgaon. It connects Rajasthan to the capital New Delhi of India through the National Highway 8 (India).
Dharuhera was a sleepy village before 1975 and emerged on the industrial map of Haryana with the establishment of an Industrial Estate over an area of about 240 hectares. The village, earlier a part of industrially backward area declared by the Central Government, being nearest point to Delhi, became a magnet for the industrialists.
Observing this trend, the department of Town and Country Planning has declared the area around Industrial Estate, Dharuhera and Primary School village Kapriwas as controlled areas and prepared a development plan for the same to ensure its planned development.
At present, about 25 large and medium industrial units such as electronics, engineering, chemical, paper, electrical goods are operating in the area with an employment of more than 7000 workers. M/S Hero-Honda Motors, Pasupati Spinning and Weaving Mill, Western Electronics, Utility Engineers, Om Steel, East India Syntex, Orient carbons, Hyderabad Industries, Delton Cables, Glaxo Cables, Sidharth Papers, United Pharma, Mehra Gases etc. are among the important units functioning in the area.
Integrated Final Development Plan, Dharuhera for 2021 (Dharuhera Master Plan 2021) was notified on 28 Dec 2007.
POPULATION
As per census 2001, the population of Dharuhera town was 18,898; and the aggregate population of abadis falling within the urbanisable limits of Dharuhera Master Plan 2021, was 27,955 persons. Thus the aggregated population of 46,853 persons has been adopted as the base population for projecting the 2021 population for Dharuhera.
Keeping in view the huge development potential of the town, the decadal growth rate of population has been adopted as 100% in dharuhera master plan 2021.
| Year | Existing / Projected Population at 100% decadal growth |
| rate | |
| 2001 | 46,853 (as per census 2001) |
| 2011 | 93,706 |
| 2021 | 1,87,412 say 2 lakhs |
The town has accordingly been assigned a population of 2.0 lakhs persons by 2021 A.D. This population level will have to be achieved through concerted efforts towards integrated development of the town.
Besides industrial and residential development, wholesale distributive trade as envisaged in the N.C.R. Plan will have to be developed and common facilities like Central Electronic Telephone Exchange, Post and Telegraph Office etc. will have to be provided.
LAND REQUIREMENT
