New Chandigarh is built on the same Local Planning Area GMADA originally studied as Mullanpur under its 2008–2031 regional master planning exercise. This page's zonal plan is a more detailed, plot-level drawing than a town-wide master plan — it was approved by the Punjab Regional and Town Planning and Development Board at its 30th meeting, held on 9 December 2015.
Detailed Zoning Categories
Because this is a zonal plan rather than a broad master plan, its land-use categories go well beyond the usual residential/industrial/institutional split: it separately zones commercial city-centre and retail areas, mixed-use warehousing and wholesale land, an integrated education city, health and medical care institutions, technology and R&D industry, and low-density residential areas, alongside village settlement (abadi) zones mapped from 2010 satellite imagery.
Notably, the plan also marks a defined Defence Zone and a matching Defence Land Buffer — a real, specific constraint on development in parts of the area, not just a generic land-use label.
Plot-Level Detail
Unlike the region's town-wide master plans, this drawing marks individual facilities by name and location — schools (nursery, primary, and higher secondary), police posts, dispensaries, parks, and EWS (economically weaker section) housing blocks — referenced against khasra (revenue survey) numbers, which is the level of detail a developer or plot owner would actually need to check a specific parcel's designation.
Reading the Plan
Four documents are on file here: the original master plan, this zonal plan, a fuller master plan report, and a separate revenue master plan — all downloadable from this page. 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.
