What This Master Plan Covers
Fatehgarh Sahib-Sirhind takes its name from the historic Gurudwara Fatehgarh Sahib, itself named after Sahibzada Fateh Singh, the younger of Guru Gobind Singh Ji's two martyred sons — one of Sikhism's most significant historical sites. The settlement was given town status in December 1996 as a Nagar Panchayat, then merged into the Sirhind Municipal Council on 8 April 1998; it now serves as the district headquarters, officially known as Fatehgarh Sahib-Sirhind.
This Master Plan (2010–31) was prepared by Punjab's Department of Town and Country Planning. Two documents are on file: this master plan report and the proposed land-use drawing (PLU), both downloadable from this page in their original form.
Location and Population Targets
The town sits on the Ambala–Ludhiana G.T. Road, about 28km from Rajpura, 65km from Ludhiana, 30km from Patiala, and 52km from Chandigarh. It's well connected by rail too, with Sirhind Junction serving the Delhi–Amritsar broad-gauge line as well as a separate Sirhind–Nangal line.
The plan projects the combined municipal and rural population to reach 238,428 by 2031 — up from 49,825 (municipal) and 99,315 (rural) in the 2001 census — and raises the target gross residential density to 300 persons per acre, well above the existing sub-100-per-acre density, to accommodate that growth on a constrained land base.
Geography and Drainage
Fatehgarh Sahib-Sirhind sits on the flat, alluvial Indo-Gangetic plain, with elevation ranging only from about 259m to 273m across the whole planning area — a gentle slope from northeast to southwest. The main drainage feature is the Sirhind Choe, a seasonal stream originating near the town that flows northwest through the district before crossing into Sangrur district, alongside smaller channels including the Sirhind Distributory, Saidpura Minor, and Rajindergarh Minor.
Reading the Plan
The land-use drawing is a large-format plan best read against its own legend for land-use codes and road classifications. As with every document on this portal, treat this as a reference copy of GMADA's planning intent rather than a live record — always confirm the current, in-force version and any amendments directly with GMADA before relying on it for a specific parcel or transaction.
