ILBCO's Master Plan for Delhi 2047 (MPD 2047), revised and published by Rajan Nijhawan for ILBCO India, presents the Master Plan for Delhi 2047 — the statutory framework notified by the Delhi Development Authority that governs land use, zoning and development across the National Capital up to the year 2047. This is the August 2026 Edition, hardbound.
A Master Plan is the document every question about building, buying, developing or regularising property in Delhi ultimately turns on. It fixes what a piece of land may be used for, at what density and height, with what ground coverage, and under what conditions that use may change. MPD 2047 replaces the earlier planning horizon and resets those parameters for the next two decades.

Important Areas Covered
The Master Plan governs the land use plan for Delhi — the classification of land into residential, commercial, industrial, recreational, transportation, public and semi-public, and government use — together with the development control norms that apply to each: floor area ratio, ground coverage, height, setbacks, parking and permissible activities.
It addresses housing and the shelter needs of different income groups, commercial activity and the hierarchy of commercial centres, industrial land and permitted non-polluting activity, and the mixed-use regime that governs commercial activity in residential areas. It covers transportation and infrastructure — the road network, mass transit, parking, water supply, drainage, sewerage and solid waste.
The plan also deals with redevelopment of built-up and ageing areas, Land Pooling as the mechanism for developing new urban extensions, and Transit-Oriented Development (TOD), which permits higher density around mass transit corridors. Further areas include heritage and conservation, the treatment of unauthorised and regularised colonies, urban villages, and the environmental and green-space provisions that apply across the city.

Why Choose This Edition?
Anyone advising on a Delhi property — whether on a sanction, a use change, a redevelopment proposal, a land-pooling entitlement or a title question — needs the plan's text to hand rather than a summary of it. This ILBCO edition is produced as a hardbound working copy for exactly that kind of repeated, practical reference.
Readers should verify the current position and any subsequent modifications against the Delhi Development Authority's official notifications, as master plan provisions are periodically amended.
