# Delhi Master Plan 2047 proposes congestion charges and denser growth 2026-08-14T19:30:52+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 2 independent outlets Delhi’s Master Plan 2047 proposes congestion pricing in high-traffic zones, alongside dynamic parking charges and restrictions on public parking. The DDA approved the plan on August 12 and sent it to the Union housing ministry for final approval and notification. A charge cannot begin without a separate Delhi government policy, agency coordination and decisions on rates and exemptions. Possible zones include transit-oriented development areas, the Walled City Heritage Zone and the Metropolitan City Centre. RFID-based vehicle identification is being considered. The plan also permits taller and denser construction, with a proposed High Density Corridor along a 75-km stretch of UER-II. Eligible projects could have a floor area ratio of 400, with 20% reserved for affordable housing. The corridor covers a 250-metre strip on either side of the road, subject to access and land requirements. ## Coverage - hindustantimes.com - timesofindia.indiatimes.com - timesofindia.indiatimes.com Tags: Congestion pricing, Delhi, Delhi Development Authority, Master Plan 2047 Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/delhi-master-plan-2047-proposes-congestion-pricing-taller-buildings/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
