The Story in Brief
Delhi will set up multi-modal transport hubs (MMTHs) at Anand Vihar-Karkardooma, Kashmere Gate and Nizamuddin-Sarai Kale Khan under the draft Master Plan of Delhi 2047. These hubs will integrate Metro, railways, buses, para-transit and non-motorised transport within close proximity, using intelligent transport systems and AI for crowd and traffic management.
Skywalks and subways will connect land parcels split by roads or tracks. The plan also requires transit-oriented development within 500 metres of each hub to align with the integrated system. Additional high-footfall locations may be added later, subject to approval.
The Indian Opinion
Delhi's grand transport plans have a habit of getting stuck in land disputes and inter-agency wrangling. The promise of AI and smart systems sounds impressive, but real improvement depends on how quickly DDA and transit bodies can coordinate land pooling and funding. The real test will be whether a concrete timeline for the first hub emerges within the next year.
