2. National Capital Region
● National Capital Region (NCR) is a central planning region
centered upon the National Capital Territory in India.
● It encompasses the entire NCT of Delhi and several districts
surrounding it from the states of Haryana,Uttar
Pradesh and Rajasthan.
● The NCR and the associated National Capital Region Planning
Board were created in 1985 to plan the development of the
region and to evolve harmonized policies for the control of
land-uses and development of infrastructure in the region.

4. ● Prominent cities of NCR include Delhi , Ghaziabad , Faridabad
,Gurugram , Noida , Meerut , Bulandshahr , Karnal
, Alwar and Panipat.
● The NCR is a rural-urban region, with a population of over
46,069,000 and an urbanization level of 62.6%.
● As well as the cities and towns the NCR contains ecologically
sensitive areas like the Aravalli ridge, forests, wildlife and bird
sanctuaries.
● The Delhi Extended Urban Agglomeration, a part of the NCR,
had an estimated GDP of $370 billion (measured in terms of
GDP PPP) in 2015–16.

5. History
● The National Capital Region (NCR) and its planning board were
created under the National Capital Region Planning Board Act of
1985.
● That 1985 Act defined the NCR as being the whole of NCT of
Delhi; the Haryana districts of Gurugram
, Faridabad and Sonipat, Rohtak and the Rewari tehsil then
in Mahendragarh district; and the Uttar Pradesh districts
of Bulandshahr, Meerut and Ghaziabad and some part of
the Rajasthan district of Alwar.

6. ● The 1985 boundary of the NCR covered an area of 34,144 km2.
● In July 2013, NCR was expanded to include three more
districts, Bhiwani, and Mahendragarh in the state of Haryana,as
well as Bharatpur in the state of Rajasthan.
● This brought the number of districts in the NCR to 19 (outside
Delhi NCT), with the total NCR area increasing 34% to
45,887 km2.
● On 9 June 2015 the Government of India approved the inclusion
of three more districts in NCR – Jind, Panipat, Karnal in the
state of Haryana and Muzaffarnagar in U.P,covering a total area
of 50,566 km2.

7. ● Shamli district of U.P. was added to the NCR in December
2017.
● There are now a total of 24 districts in the NCR.

8. Regional planning
● The planning body for the region is the National Capital
Region Planning Board (NCRPB).
● It has issued two regional plans, the "Regional Plan 2001,
National Capital Region" approved in 1988,and the "Regional
Plan 2021, National Capital Region" approved in 2005.
● Topics covered by the 2001 plan included transport,
telecommunications, power and water supply, waste and
sewerage, education, health, the environment, housing and the
"counter magnet" areas.

9. ● The 2021 plan extended these with the additional topics of
social infrastructure, heritage, tourism, rural development and
disaster management.
● The 51% of pollution in NCR is caused by the industrial
pollution, 27% by vehicles and 8% by crop burning,
consequently there are plans to create a 1,600 km long and 5 km
wide.
● About 46% of the National Capital Region, home to 40 to 50
million people, is not connected to sewage networks.
● Sewage from these areas flows into stormwater drains that
empty directly into the Yamuna.

10. ● The main attractions and clamour for districts wanting to be
part of the NCR are:
● Funds they would be eligible for from the NCR Planning
Board (NCRPB), the apex planning body in the region, which
come under the Union urban development ministry.
● Due to their inclusion in NCR, there are chances in near
future they may get some rapid transit system or Delhi
Metro may be extended further.
● Soaring Land Price will obviously benefit owners!
● Overall development of the city gets a boost.
