NEW DELHI: Senior officials confirmed that the meeting focused sharply on infrastructure expansion, environmental sustainability, and the transformation of Delhi into a modern industrial hub.

The Master Plan, initially submitted to the Centre in April 2023 by the Delhi Development Authority (DDA), has been pending approval from the Union Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs. At Monday's review, the DDA Vice-Chairman presented the draft blueprint to the Chief Minister and top bureaucrats, including department heads from industries, revenue, and environment.

Officials noted that industrial development was the primary focus of the session, especially the planned development of approximately 1,200 acres across three key sites, Kanjhawla, Ranikhera, and Baprola. These locations have been identified for the creation of high-tech industrial clusters under a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) framework.
