Zonal Plan For Zone F Delhi
Zonal Plan For Zone F Delhi
1.0 Background 1
1.0 Under the Master Plan for Delhi-2001, the National Capital Territory of Delhi is divided into 15 zones,
out of which 8 zones are in Urban Delhi (A to H), 6 are in Urban Extension and Rural Areas (J to N
and P) and one is for the river and river front area (O). A zone could be divided into sub-zones.
1.1 In the context of Urban Delhi, Zone-F is identifiable with its low density and green character. This
zone is mainly comprised of planned, well maintained posh residential localities. This also includes
rehabilitation colonies and Government housing areas. The zone is situated in the South of Zone-D
(New Delhi). The Ring Road from Maharani Bagh to Dhaula Kuan separates these two zones. A
significant feature of this zone is its urban heritage, where first four cities of Delhi namely, Lai Kot,
Siri, Tuglakabad and Jahanpanah are located. There are a number of developed parks under green
areas which also include two city forests and the ridge area.
2.1 Section 8 of Delhi Development Act 1957 provides for preparation of Zonal Development Plans
simultaneous with the preparation of the Master Plan (or as soon as may be, the Authority shall
proceed with the preparation of Zonal Development Plan for each of the zones into which Delhi be
divided) Further a Zonal Development Plan may contain a site plan and a land use plan with approximate
location and extent of land uses, such as public and semi-public buildings/works utilities, roads,
housing, recreation, industry business, markets, schools, hospitals, open spaces etc. It may also
specify standards of population, density and various components of development of the zone.
The procedure to be followed in the preparation and approval of the Zonal Development Plan is laid
down in Section 10 of the Act.
2.2 As per MPD-2001, a Zonal Development Plan means a plan for a zone (Division) of the Union
Territory of Delhi. The zonal (Divisional Plan) details out the policies of the Master Plan and acts as
link between the layout plan and the Master Plan. The Development schemes, layout plans indicating
use premises should conform to the Master Plan/Zonal Plan (Divisional Plan).
2.3 In addition to the provisions given in Delhi Development Act and MPD-2001 with regard to the
preparation of the Zonal Development Plans, other broad objectives of the Zonal Development Plan
are as under:
i) To preserve and enhance the green character of South Central Ridge (Mehrauli), city forests and
ii) To make provisions for compatible mixed land use activities in residential use zone.
iii) To identify and conserve important historical monuments and four historic cities in the zone.
3.1 The following table indicates the area and the status of the sub-zonal development plans (earlier
Zonal Development Plans) formulated and processed within the framework of Master Plan for Delhi-
1962.

MPD-2001 stipulates that already approved sub-zonal development plans earlier named Zonal Plans
to the extent in Conformity with the Master Plan provisions shall continue to be operative. However, in the
zonal plan proposals for zone "F" wherever necessary, suitable modifications/changes have been incorported.
YEAR POPULATION
Note : In view of the 1991 ceusus population which is already more then 12 Lakhs the projcted population
of Zone 'F' for 2001 is likely to increase substantially.

Note: The above sub-division of zones is based on the boundaries given in MPD-62. These have been re-
adjusted in MPD-2001 to the extent that sub-zones F-13 & F-14 have interchanged. F-13 is now
Vasant Kunj & Vasant Vihar whereas F-14 is defence. Due to re defination and redelineation of Sub-
zones F-13 and F-14 there would be adjustment of population. As per MPD-2001 land use plan the
population of F-13 works out to be about 97500 & 82,500 for F-19.

5.1 Zone-F (South Delhi) is the largest zone amongst 8 zones of Urban Delhi, in terms of the area which
measures 11958 ha. Besides lutyens Delhi this zone has well planned residential areas. This zone
has been planned mostly as envisaged in Master plan for Delhi-1962 Some of the high income
catergory residential localities are Vasant Vihar, West End, Anand Niketan, Punchsheel, Friends
Colony, Maharani Bagh, Hauz Khas South Extn. New Friends Colony Mayfair Garden, Gulmohar
Park Getanjali East of Kailash, Safdarjung development Scheme etc. The residential localities of
this zone can be divided in the following categories:-
a) Rehabilitation colonies.
b) Govt. Housing schemes.
c) Co-operative House Building Societies.
d) Privately developed colonies.
e) Residential areas developed by the DDA including group housing schemes.
f) Slum and JJ housing Schemes.
g) Unauthorised/regularised colonies,
h) Urbanised villages.
There are three district centres, namely Nehru Place, Bhikaji Cama Place and Saket which is yet to
be developed.
5.1.1 This zone is unique in terms of large green areas and open space. The Mehrauli ridge which is a
conservation area falls in the hierarchy of regional parks. Besides, large district parks, it has two
city forests at Hauz Khas and Jahapanah. There are various sports complexes, like Siri fort, Saket
and also Lawn Tennis stadia.
5.1.2 This zone has major public and semi-public facilites, both health and education. Some of these
health and educational facilities are of national importance. The public and semi public facilities
located in planned and developed area in this zone caters to the population of other zone. Three
major social cultural institutional areas, viz Siri Fort, South of Indian Institute of Technology and
Tughlakabad.
5.1.3 In the west of JNU, public & semi-public facilities, commercial areas, recreationl areas and semi-
developed areas are porposed to be developed.
(8)
5.2 EXISTING LAND USE PATTERN
The distribution and composition of various land uses in this zone indicates a comparative large
percentage of land under 'recreational land use'(green areas). Likewise public and Semi-public
facilities also have a high ratio of land. The existing land use survey carried out in 1981-82 has been
updated as per the following details of existing land use analysis:
The Master Plan has outlined specific proposals for this zone. (The salient proposals related with
enhancement of the character of this zone are given below);
i) A large part of the South Central Ridge (Mehrauli), falls in this zone (Divn) 'F' Master Plan recommends
that the 'ridge' should be conserved with utmost care and should be in its pristine form. It should be
afforested with indigenous species.
ii) The Mehrauli area has been identified as a conservation area because of its rich urban heritage and
high tourist potential.
iii) This zone is dotted with the first four cities of Delhi and a number of other important monuments.
These provide a great potential for tourist attraction. All such areas need to be conserved and
restored wherever necessary.
6.1 The largest Govt. housing complex at R.K. Puram, was developed at a comparatively low density.
There are several other Govt. housing complex viz., Moti Bagh, Nanakpura, Nauroji Nagar, Andrews
Ganj, Sadiq Nagar, Pushp Vihar etc. Besides the Govt. housing areas, there are staff housing
colonies of various institutions, such as Air India, Indian Air Lines, Reserve Bank of India, MMTC,STC,
(9)
Delhi Admn., MCD and DDA. These Govt. staff housing colonies were developed at a low density. It
is proposed for redensification of such pocket based on a comprehensive urban design scheme and
providing required facilities as per the stipulated norms and standard of MPD-2001. Such
comprechensive schemes are to be prepared by the concerned implementing agency and to be
approved by the Competent Authority. No piecemeal approach for redevelopment without a
comprehensive urban design scheme is to be adopted. Urban renewal schemes in the identified
areas would be prepared as per the guide lines laid down in MPD-2001.
Zone-F (South Delhi-I) is known for its posh residential colonies which afford an exclusive lifestyle.
Most of these were developed by the cooperative House Building societies on the lands allotted by
the Delhi Admn./Govt. of India, DDA except a few developed privately and by the DDA. Such colonies
have recreational, shopping and other facilities. Keeping in view the significance of these residential
pockets, further development should be regulated within the parameter of Development Code of the
MPD-2001 to maintain and enhance their character.
A number of foreign missions, their cultural and information centres are functioning in the residential
premises. Keeeping in view of the pratical reality and availability of land these may be relocated in
the second diplomatic enclave to be developed.
There are several large rehabilitation colonies developed by the Ministry of Rehabilitation to provide
accomodation for the displaced person after the independence of the country. These include Lajpat
Nagar, Kalkaji, Amar Colony, Malviya Nagar etc. These have become very congested, mainly due
to non-residential activities in the residential premises. It is therefore, necessary that for certain
pockets where there is heavy congestion urban renewal schemes be prepared and required
infrastructure be provided by the local body.
There are few urbanised villages located in this zone. Redevelopment Plans for these villages were
prepared earlier. However largely due to lack of effective enforcement of building bye-laws extensive
development has taken place in and around these villages which has rendered them as sub-standard
areas.
RESETTLEMENT COLONIES
This zone has a few resettlement colonies viz, Dr. Ambedkar Nagar and Madangir. These colonies
have also become quite congested and presently have developed with a mixed land use character.
It is therefore necessary to prepare redevelopment/upgradation schemes within the parameters of
the MPD-2001 as urban renewal areas, with emphasis on mixed land use and to provide better
physical and social infrastructure by the local body.

7.0 WORK CENTRES
7.1 MANUFACTURING
Okhla Industrial Area, one of the largest industrial belt, having extensive industries besides light and
service industries and flatted factories is located in this zone. This covers an area of 513.0 hac.
generating an employment of about 37,230 work force.
As given in appendix III this zone has two numbers of industries which are polluting.
7.2.1 DISTRICT CENTRES :There are three District Centres, viz. Nehru Place and Bhikaji Cama Place
and Saket out these two District Centres, i.e. Nehru Place and Bhikaji Cama Place are already
developed and one at Saket is at the planning stage. The three District Centres cover an area of
about 74.16 ha. These three District would generate a total employment of 67,230 persons.
In the Master Plan for Delhi-2001, there are 22 community centres proposed in this zone as per land
use plan. However due to the existing situatuion, a few of the proposed community certre sites are
not available due to encrochment or such sites have been utilized for spine other purposes. Out of
total 22 proposed community centres, about 9 sites have already been developed and the rest are
to be developed.
7.2.6 The provision of informal sector in trade & commerce is to be followed as per the provisions of
Master Plan as part of planned commercial centres.
7.2.7 There is propsed integrated freigth complex at Madanpur Khadar covering an area of 108 ha. and in
addition, another 50 ha. is proposed for a Truck Terminal adjoining this freight complex. This complex
is envisaged as a composite scheme with gpdowns and transport facilities so that movement of
goods by road and rail could work smoothly.
7.2.8 Weekly markets as per the norms of MPD-2001 would be provided at suitable locations.
(11)
8.0 COMMUNITY STRUCTURE
This zone is sprawling in an area of 11,958 ha. and having a planned population of about
11,91,882. This population has been organised into 12 communities. A hierarchical cellular structure
is proposed to be created for the purpose of balanced development. The provision of social and
physical infrastructure has been related with the MPD-2001 norms. The following is the proposed
organisation of sub zones into communities.
I F-1,7,19 , 1,62,535
II F-2 1,31,150
III F-3 1,09,658
IV F-4 68,975

X F-11,12,15 99,963
XI F-16 87,120
XII F-17 1,07,200
___ 13,17,441
A detailed study of various Community facilities, existing and required as per norms of
MPD-2001, has been carried out at the level of each sub-zone. According to the norms, the provision
of the facilities have been worked out at various levels i.e. neigh bourhood, community and District
level. As stated, earlier this is one of the well planned zones, and even provides certain city level,
regional and national facilities. There is hardly any deficiency of community facilities for the pro-
jected population of 11,91,882.
According to the Master plan norms 173 Higher Secondary Schools are required for this
zone whereas in all 129 Higher Secondary School sites are existing in this zone, due to readjusted
population of F-13 and F-19 the entire zone requires 173 Higher Secondary Schools, as per Master
Plan norms. The zonel plan indicates 149 Higher Secondary School sites, out of which around 28
schools are functioning in double shift, which meet the demand of added population. Out of total
schools, around 119 schools are reported to be in existence.
In this zone there are several important public school like Delhi Public School, Modern, Gyan
Bharti, Don Bosco, Cambridge etc. Which cater to larger population as compared to the stipulation
(12)
in the Master Plan. A large number of Delhi Admn. schools are functioning in two shifts accounting
for two schools in one premises. Therefore, the deficency of schools in this zone is met in this
manner. In view of the paucity of land and the sub-zones are planned and fully developed, some of
the primary/other educational institutional centres are likely to be upgraded to Sr. Sec. level to meet
any short-fall. Further provision would be made to cover up the deficiency, if any, to the extent
possible in different schemes.

As per Master Plan standards, a total area of 254.65 ha. is required under the neighbourhood parks
and play area, whereas as per the Zonal Plan proposals 273.18 ha. of land is proposed under the
neighbourhood parks. Sub-Zone wise analysis indicate that most of the sub-zones have sufficient
area under neighbourhood parks.
(13)
The Zonal Plan indicates mainly major neighbourhood parks as it is not possible to earmark all such
parks, specially those in group housing areas. However, these have been taken jnto account in
calculating the Neighbourhood parks.
Sub-zone wise details of neighbourhood parks are given in the following table :

The MPD-2001 provides regulations for mixed land use Permission in the residential use Zone
(Appendix-I). Non-residential activity has been filtering down into residential permises. This is more
pronounced in comparatively older areas.
(16)
Some of the old residential areas have been identified for urban renewal scheme in the
Zonal Development Plan. Certain streets, which have been identified as commercial streets as per
the survey of the MCD, are proposed for mixed land use. However, depending on the character of a
colony the mixed land use would be regulated in various categories of residential area as per
proposals given below.
9.1 CATEGORY-I :The areas where only professional offices as per Master Plan-2001 stipulation are to
be permitted. No retails shops and household industry are to be allowed in these areas. These are
given as below;
(c) Various Group housing schemes developed by group housing & co-operative societies by the Govt.
and by the DDA.
9.2 CATEGORY-II The following streets based on the surveys provided by MCD are identified for per-
mission of retail business/professional activities on ground floor only. The extent/length of these
roads for mixed land use is indicated on the Zonal Development Plan. For rebuilding, the coverage
and FAR of such properties will be the same as permissible on residential plot and only ground floor
is to be used for retail business etc. The conversion charges are to be levied as stipulated in MPD-
2001 which are to be determined by the concerned local body. Building bye laws be enforced
alongwith right of way of roads and approved layout plans.
ij.... •" Kalkaji Main Road (Between Block G&H and E&F)
9.3 CATEGORY-III
In the areas identified for Urban Renewal Scheme, mixed land use activity would be allowed as per
the stipulations of MPD-2001 these includes the areas like, (a) Rehabilitation colonies.(b) Regularised
unauthorised colonies (c) Urbanised village etc. Till such time these schemes are formulated only
residential use in the residential permises would be permitted as per development control norms
given in the MPD-2001.
9.4 In all other areas, the mixed land use may be permitted as per the stipulation of MPD-2001. Whenever
mixed land use is permitted, conversion charges shall have to be paid as determined by the concerned
authority.
There are about 41 Nursing Homes located in residential permises/areas. As per MPD-2001 these
are non conforming and therefor, have to be dealt with as per policy,
(17)
9.6 GUESTHOUSES
There are about 50 Guest Houses in residential permises/ares. These are non conforming as per
MPD-2001 from land use point of view and are to be dealt with as per the policy.
Within the framework of MPD-2001, the Zonal Development Plan proposals have been detailed out.
These incorporate the requirements of Traffic & Transportation, Community Facilities. Green Areas
and Infrastructure, taking the cognisance of various proposals/approved lay out plans/schemes. The
proposed land use analysis at Zonal Plan level is given below.
N.B. The village/settlements located in any other land use would be treated as residential to the extent of
approved plans and would be regulated as per norms prescribed for residential land use and policy
followed for such villages/settlements.
The circulation system inter-connects principal work centres with residential neighbourhood and
communities. A multi-mode transport system within the overall structure of the city is envisaged in
MPD-2001. It consists of ring rail, road transport and Mass Rapid Transit System, together with
cycle and pedestrian tracks. The proposed MRTS corridors which pass through this zone as follows
This zone has got fairly wide road, MRTS wherever possible may run on surface. However
in the areas adjacent to important conservation zones, monuments of urban heritage, the metro/
transportation network should be underground. A detailed study need to be undertaken in respect of
various traffic and transportation proposals, like the MRTS, Ring Rail and its spurs. This study
(18)
would include restructuring of land uses, location of various stations terminals and their relationship
with the road transport system. The railway corridors and spurs as shown on the Zonal Plan, barring
essential operational facilities, shall be kept as green buffer with the surrounding development.
The Zonal Plan primarily indicates roads of 24 m and above right of way. In the circulation network of
various land uses wherever necessary 18 mt. wide road have also to be shown. A hierarchical
system of arterial roads, as given below, has been adopted for smooth flow of traffic:
i) 91.4 mR/W
National high way No.2
National high way No. 8
ii) 60 to 64 m R/W
Ring Road, AurobiPidoMarg.-Mehrauli^Mahipalpur Road, Mehraulr-Badarptir-Roadv
iii 45 m R/W
Outer Ring Road, Mathura Road, Abdul Gamel Nasir Marg, Panchsheel Marg, Chirag Delhi Road.
Joseph Tito Marg, Lai Bahadur Shastri Marg, Lala Lajpat Rai Path, Africa Avenue, Nelson Mehdela
Marg, Rao Tula Ram Marg/etc.
For safety, channelisation of pedestrian traffic and segregation of cycle and pedestrian
traffic, have been proposed in the MPD-2Q01. Three of cycle tracks, as indicated in the Master Plan
for De!hi-2001, fall partly in this zone, (a) one of these cycle tracks-link Chiragh Delhi, Defence
Colony along the nallah and leads to Inderaprastha Estate Office complex; along Mathura Road, (b)
the other cycle track coming from Trans Yamuna areas, along ITO bridge, connects Connaught
Place and moves further down along Panchkuian Road (c) another cycle track would connect Talkatora
Stadium and Mathura Road via Kushak Nallah.
The pedestrian movement is primarily proposed through the green areas with special
compatiable treatment of surfaces and street furniture. To facilitate smooth and Comfortable movement
of pedestrians, it is recommended that all inter-sections or other important places attracting and
generating sizeable pedestrian traffic like a, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Safdarjung
Hospital, Nehru Place, R.K. Puram Office Complex and the important transport, terminals, exclu-
sive pedestrian corridors/subway may be developed. The alignment to NH-2 Bye-Pass may be
deemed as indicative and would conform to the approved alignment.
10.2.3 PARKING
Parking areas shall be provided for different types of development as per MPD-2001 norms. This
apart, general pool parking areas are proposed to be developed in major work centres, freight
complexs, terminals etc.
(19)
10.2.4 It is suggested to examine the feasibility of municipalising major parking area located in planned
commercial centres, including the District Centres. The parking areas in and around Metro stations
and other important Transport modes in the zone, may also to be municipalised.
With reference to ministry's letter dt. 5th June 98, at teast 10 parking sites are to be located in and
around areas where parking is a severe problem for development of community parking Areas.
This South Central ridge which includes (Mehrauli) covers an area of 413.70 ha. (part). It is
an area of urban heritage, which has landmarks and traces of the historical cities of Delhi. This
besides Tughlakabad is another important green area in the zone. The other major green areas,
viz., around important monuments, planned green areas and other natural green areas need to be
conserved. Conservation and restoration of the places of rich urban heritage and high tourist value
should be taken up on priority. There is an urgent need to intensify afforesation of the ridge area.
The following areas notified as a Reserved Forest under the Forest Act shall be retained as such,
where no construction, temporary or permanent is permitted :
The Archeological Survey of India has defined control zones around listed monuments. This
is comprised of 100.m. distances from the protected limits of a monument as prohibited zone;
where no building activity is permitted and further beyond it upto 200 m. distance as the regulated
area: where building activity is to be regulated only after getting permission from the ASI. A list of
such monuments is given in Appendix II.
No allotments are to be made in the ridge areas. The existing uses which are not compatible
need to be shifted/relocated/removed.
The major green spaces are complemented and supplemented by a system of neighbourhood open
spaces, parks and playgrounds in the residential area. This would provide linkages for development
of a continuous system of green areas. This has been indicated in the Zonal Plan, which should be
detailed out at the stage of preparation of detailed schemes.
(20)
The District Parks cover an area of about 2408.12 ha. including sports complex city forest monu-
ments & chiiidren Park.
10.3.1 CONSERVATION
According to the information obtained from the Archeological Survey of India there are 165
monuments in Delhi which have been notified as protected. Of these 43 protected monuments are
situated in zone-F (Appendix-ll). These have been identified in the zonal development plan along
with their control zones. It is envisaged that the extent of areas of heritage and declared protected
monument under the Ancient Monument and Archeological Sites and Remains Act, 1958, be reserved
for conservation for which conservation schemes may be prepared by the concerned organisation/
local authority.
The area around Qutab Minar has been declared a 'heritage zone'. For 'Integrated
Conservation of Mehrauli, a committee comprising of the representatives of the DDA/INTACH, Delhi
Conservation Society, ASI and Delhi Tourism has been set up. The area behind Qutab Minar is
proposed to be developed as an 'Archeological Park', It would cover two main zones, one of Zafar
Mahal and the other of Chaumachi tomb. The proposed Archaeolegical park in its sprawling area
has about 70 monuments. The recomendations in respect of its identification, conservation, design
and management of the Archaeological park have been made. The proposed park would also have
a museum for the visitors for providing information in various forms.
in case of major monuments falling in zone 'F the area around them has been identified in
the zonal/divisional plan for which building control in relation to height, material and spread of the
monuments should be framed. The areas around major monuments are proposed to be suitably
landscapped.
The MPD-2001 has identified the following controlled conservation areas covering the con-
centration of historical building in zone 'F'.
Special development plans for the conservation and improvement of controlled area shall be
formulated. Any alteration or demolition of any building is prohibited without the consent of the
Authority.

10.4 PHYSICAL INFRASTRUCTURE
The requirement of water supply for zone F@ 363 litres per capita per day (80 gpd) works out to
about 96 million gpd of this, it is estimated that about 36 milion gpd, would be required for residential
areas. The water supply would have to be augmented specially in view of preventing accute shortage
and also the tread of population growth.
The zone is almost fully served by underground sewerage. However, it is suggested to augment the
sewerage network in the old areas identified for urban renewal. The zone has several major storm
water drains, which flush out the storm water into the river.
In this zone as per population garbage generated (estimated) as about 720 tons daily. The
