Summary – Faridabad Master Plan 2031
Introduction
Faridabad is the largest city in the north Indian state of Haryana, in Faridabad district. It is a leading industrial center and situated in the National Capital Region (India) near the Indian capital New Delhi. It is located between Delhi, Noida, Greater Noida and Gurgaon.
Faridabad enjoys a prime location both geographically and politically. Faridabad-Ballabgarh Complex is situated on Delhi-Mathura road (NH-44) at a distance of 32 KM from Delhi. It is one of the largest agglomerations consisting of three towns, namely Faridabad Old, Ballabgarh and N.I.T. Faridabad.
This complex, being within 32/40 KM radius of Delhi, is one of the recommended Metro towns of N.C.R. The river Yamuna forms the eastern district boundary with Uttar Pradesh. The newly developed part of Faridabad (Sec. 66 to 89) between Canal and Yamuna is commonly referred as Neharpar or Greater Faridabad. The Delhi-Agra National Highway No.2 (Sher Shah Suri Marg) passes through the centre of the district.
Faridabad is also a major industrial hub of Haryana. 50% of the income tax collected in Haryana is from Faridabad and Gurgaon. Faridabad is one of the most populated and industrialized cities of Haryana. The city is famous for Henna production in agriculture sector while tractors, motor cycles, switch gears, Refrigerators, shoes & tyres are other famous industrial products of the city.
Availability of Infrastructure
Faridabad is well connected by a network of road and electricity. All the villages of the district are connected by metalled roads and have electricity since 1970. Faridabad is well connected with other parts of the country by Rail and Road. The broad gauge Railway line of Northern and North-Central Railway pass through the district and most of the trains going to South and West of India pass through the District. Also, Delhi-Mathura-Agra road (NH-44) passes almost through the middle of the district. Faridabad and Ballabgarh are the main towns of the district.
Economic base of the town/functional status
Faridabad is home to one of the largest industrial estates of Asia, which houses a large number of manufacturing industries. Economy of Faridabad is largely dependent on industry.
The total number of small, medium and large industries in district Faridabad is about 15,000 which provide direct and indirect employment to nearly half a million people and ranks as the 9th largest industrial estate in Asia. The place is home to many international/multinational companies namely; Whirlpool, Goodyear, Larsen & Toubro, Escorts, Eicher, Cutler Hammer, Hyderabad Asbestos and Nuchem etc.
Within NCR, Gurgaon and Noida have been in the forefront in attracting investments, which have been primarily in the information technology (IT) and bio-technology (BT) sectors. Faridabad has lagged behind in these sectors and is now gearing up to catch up with Gurgaon and Noida. More and more investments are flowing into various sectors of industry, commerce and real estate.
Keeping in view the above, land use proposals have been formulated on the consideration that industrial activities and trade and commerce will continue to remain the major economic base of the town. The town is growing as a major industrial centre of the State as well as of the region. The Haryana State Industrial and Infrastructure Development Corporation has already acquired land and developed an Industrial Modal Township (IMT) on the eastern side of the Agra Canal. A lot of industrial activities have already come up in the controlled areas after obtaining the change of land use permissions from the competent authority.
Population/demography
The growth trend of the population in the area covered under this plan has been given in the following table along with the projections upto the perspective period:
| Year | Population | Growth Rate (%) | ||||
| 1961 | 59,039 | – | ||||
| 1971 | 1,22,817 | 108.03 | ||||
| 1981 | 3,30,864 | 169.40 | ||||
| 1991 | 6,17,717 | 86.70 | ||||
| 2001 | 10,55,938 | 70.94 | ||||
| 2011 | 14,38,855 | 36.26 | ||||
| 2021* | 24,38,000 | 69.44 | ||||
| 2031* | 38,86,407 | 59.41 | ||||
| Source: Census of India | ||||||
| * Projected Population | ||||||
As per the above figures it is clear that there is a descending trend of population in Faridabad for the last 20 years. It is also a fact that the area notified in the Final Development Plan of Faridabad-Ballabgarh Complex 2011 AD (on the eastern side of the Agra Canal) is still developing.
However, in the forthcoming decades, the likely implementation of various infrastructure projects such as Metro Rail, Dedicated Freight Corridor and Eastern Peripheral Expressway, shall provide a boost in the growth of this town. In the Regional Plan 2021 AD of NCR, the population of Faridabad town has been projected as 25 lacs (approx.) by 2021 AD with a variation of +2.5%.
Extension of Urbanizable Proposals
For a projected population of 10 lacs for the year 2001, a draft development plan was published-vide Gazette notification No. 3431-10DP-82/6194 dated the 26th April, 1982. Thereafter, the Final Development Plan of Faridabad-Ballabgarh Controlled Areas 2011 A.D. was published vide Haryana Government Gazette notification No. 13/29/91-3CII dated 11th December, 1991 for a projected population of 17.5 lacs by 2011.
This Plan had proposals for urbanization from Delhi border in the North, up to Foothills of Aravalli ranges in the West, beyond Gurgaon-Agra Canal in the East and upto the revenue estate of village Jharsently in the South.
The length of the urbanizable area in the Final Development Plan of 2011 is about 24 Kms. and width 12 Kms. Towards western side of the above urbanizable area, there is a rocky undulating area, wherein urbanization is not feasible. Similarly, this town cannot be expanded towards its north due to the constraint of Haryana-Delhi border. Therefore, the additional area beyond east of Agra Canal, south and South-West of the town is being proposed for the development of additional urbanizable area for additional population in Faridabad Master Plan 2031.
Extent of various Land uses
The Draft Faridabad Master Plan 2031 has been proposed, keeping in view, the overall town density of 113 persons per hectare, to accommodate 38.86 lacs persons by 2031 A.D., within the urbanizable area of 34368 hectares. The extent of various land uses is described as below: –
| Sr. No. | Land Use | Total area (in hectares) | Percentage |
| 1 | Residential | 14328 | 41.69 |
| 2 | Commercial | 2069 | 6.02 |
| 3 | Industrial | 6179 | 17.98 |
| 4 | Transport & Communication | 4020 | 11.7 |
| 5 | Public Utility | 638 | 1.86 |
| 6 | Public & Semi Public Uses | 1299 | 3.78 |
| 7 | Open Spaces, Parks & Green Belts | 5314 | 15.46 |
| 8 | Special Zone | 448 | 1.3 |
| 9 | Mixed Land Use | 73 | 0.21 |
| Total | 34368 | 100 |
Residential
An area of 14328 hectares has been proposed for residential purpose on the basis of average residential density of 271 persons per hectare (PPH). The density for the proposed residential sectors has been kept as 300 persons per hectare to accommodate the projected population.
Three sectors bearing nos. 119, 143 and 146, adjoining to the proposed industrial sectors have been proposed with a density of 600 PPH, wherein only group housing projects will be permitted. Eight pockets of 25 hectares each have also been reserved for high density development of 1125 PPH in sectors 99, 112, 119, 122, 139, 143, 146 and 156, paving the way for construction of smaller flats and for providing housing to low and medium income group.
The Government decision regarding increase in the sector density has been incorporated in the plan with the following provisions: –
- The additional area for infrastructure shall be provided in the already planned/developed residential sectors to meet out the requirement of the additional population.
- The minimum width of the roads in a residential colony/sector shall not be less than 12 metres.
- The minimum area for parks/open spaces in a residential colony/sector shall be planned in such a manner that it shall meet the minimum norm of 2.5 sq. metres per person.
Commercial
An area of 2069 hectares, has been proposed for commercial purpose. There is a tendency of converting existing residential areas into commercial areas along the major roads. Therefore, in the present plan, commercial land uses have been proposed along major roads in a linear pattern along sector roads between various sectors so that tendency of converting residential areas into commercial use can be curbed.
In addition, sector 100, 120 and 154 have been proposed as city centre. As per the approval conveyed vide Govt. memo no. 13/66/03-3KII dated the 30th September, 2003, a 70 metre wide strip of land in sector 20A and 20-B facing Delhi-Mathura road has been converted from Public and Semi Public use to Commercial. The land use of sectors 27A, 27B, 27C and 27D and the existing industrial belt along Delhi-Mathura Road (NH-44) upto a depth of 200 metre in sector 32, 35 and 36, after leaving 50 metres wide restricted belt along NH-44, has been converted into commercial land use.
However, the land use of industrial plots, already allotted by any government agency in this area, shall be retained and shall only be changed with prior permission of competent authority. The commercial sector 100 and 117-A have been reserved for exclusive development by HUDA.
Industrial
Since, Faridabad is primarily an industrial agglomeration; an area of 6179 hectares has been proposed for industrial development in the present plan. The existing Gas based Thermal Plant has already been accommodated in the Development Plan as special zone. HSIIDC has already developed an Industrial Model Township (IMT) in sectors 66, 67, 68 and 69 situated in the east of Agra Canal.
Due to the existence of industries in sector 13, the land use of sector-13 has been changed from institutional to industrial-cum-institutional. A width of 60 metre to 120 metre, around the village abadies falling in the proposed urbanizable zone has been reserved in the Master Plan for the future development of this area which shall be regulated as per the policy framed by the Government from time to time.
Provision of multi-level parking for each 100 acres urbanizable area and other small town level infrastructure facilities such as site for Telephone Exchange, site for Transit Station for Solid Waste Disposal, site for Rain Basera etc. will be provided at the time of preparation of the circulation plans of the respective sectors.
Transport & Communication
Circulation Pattern
For smooth channelization of inter-city traffic, the circulation pattern proposed in the Faridabad Master Plan 2031 is as under:
Delhi-Mathura Road (National Highway No. 44)
This road continues to be the central axis for the Inter-State traffic to Delhi and Uttar Pradesh. It also carries the major portion of Intra-city volume of traffic, resulting in lot of congestion on this road. To relieve this road from the external traffic, a 60 metre wide bypass road has been constructed by HUDA, as per the provisions of published Final Development Plan-2011 A.D.
In addition to the already proposed 75 metre wide eastern peripheral road in the Final Development Plan 2011 A.D, 75 metre wide roads and 90 metre wide road have been proposed for the additional urbanizable area proposed in the eastern side of Agra Canal, which will connect the existing roads and also to the proposed urbanizable area of Prithla, Noida and Greater Noida.
Eastern Peripheral Expressway
A 100 metre wide road, known as Eastern Peripheral Expressway, has been proposed alongwith 100 metre wide green belt on both sides in the Faridabad Master Plan 2031. Two links with 75 metre width have been proposed to connect this expressway near sector 121 and sector 132.
The connectivity proposed near sector 131 and 132 has been proposed to facilitate the industrial sectors which shall be developed by HSIIDC and the same shall not be included in the External Development charges to be fixed by HUDA.
Intra-city Road Network
For intra-city traffic a network of 60 metres wide roads, alongwith 12 metre wide service roads, spread at a distance of about1 kilometre to 1.5 kilometres apart on the gridiron pattern have been proposed.
These roads are the sector dividing roads, which have been shown as V-2 on the present Plan. Within each sector, road network of 24 metres and 12 metres width shall be adopted while preparing the detailed layout plan of each sector.
Over Bridge/Under pass on Railway Line
For proper linkages of urbanizable proposals on eastern and western side of the Railway line, it is necessary to have Railway Bridges.
In addition to the already proposed Railway Over Bridges, over the level crossing on Mewla-Maharajpur and Sarai Khawaja-Suraj Kund Road, one Railway over bridge has been proposed on the crossing of 75 metre wide eastern peripheral road with the Delhi-Mathura Railway line near village Malerna.
Bridge over Gurgaon and Agra Canals
The present bridges on Agra Canal are very old and weak which were designed to carry the rural traffic. To integrate the urbanizable proposals on either side of Agra and Gurgaon Canals, bridges on sector dividing roads have been proposed.
The existing bridges near old Faridabad, Tigaon road, Palla road and Ballabgarh-Mohna Road require widening and strengthening.
Dedicated Freight Corridor
The Dedicated Freight Corridor from Mumbai to Dadri will be passing through the proposed urbanizable area. A 50 metre wide green belt has been proposed on both sides of the Dedicated Freight Corridor and in this 50 metre wide green belt, 12 metre wide service road has been proposed on both sides.
Connectivity to Noida and Greater Noida
Two linkages from the outer peripheral road, near sector 92 and near sector 95 have been proposed for providing connectivity to Noida and Greater Noida respectively.
Metro Connectivity
The Metro rail has also been proposed along Delhi-Mathura road, up to Ballabgarh. This is presently being implemented by Delhi Metro Rail Corporation.
Apart from it, under faridabad master plan 2031, extension of this link upto village Sikri has been proposed as well as along the bypass road along Gurgaon/Agra Canal and along 75 metre wide road along sectors 87, 88, 89, 84, 83, 78, 77, 72, 71, 68, 67 and 66, which however shall be subject to change as per feasibility and other studies to be conducted subsequently.
Regional Rail Network
In accordance with the proposals of Regional Plan 2021 A.D. of NCRPB, the provision of Regional Rapid Transit System along the existing Delhi-Mathura Railway line has also been made. Further, Regional Plan provides for Inner Regional Orbital Rail Corridor (IRORC) to connect Sonepat-Jhajjar-Gurgaon-Faridabad-Dadri-Meerut-Baghpat-Sonepat.
As described above, the circulation system of the town shall have Gridiron System. In addition to the already proposed Transport Zone of the Final Development Plan-2011 A.D, Transport Nagars/sites have been proposed near proposed industrial sectors along main roads. An area of 4020 hectares has been proposed for Transport and Communication.
Road Heirarchy
For smooth movement of traffic in the proposed urbanizable area, an integrated system of transportation and road network has been provided. The hierarchy of the right of way of major roads has been proposed as under:-
| Sr. No. | Classification of roads | Land reservation |
