## MINISTRY OF HOUSING AND URBAN AFFAIRS

## THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE (SHRI TOKHAN SAHU)

- (a): National Capital Region Planning Board (NCRPB) does not undertake/implement  any  project/scheme  but  only  provides  loan  based financial support for the projects of the NCR Participating States and their implementing  agencies.  The  details  of  loan  based  financial  support  by NCRPB for the infrastructure projects in Ghaziabad are given at AnnexureI.
- (b):
- The Draft Regional Plan-2041 is yet to be approved by the NCRPB.
- (c): The Regional Plan-2021 for NCR provides that Sub-Regional Plans and Master Plans are to be prepared by the respective participating States, within the overall framework of the Regional Plan.  Further, to oversee the implementation of the Regional Plan, NCR Planning and Monitoring Cells (NCRPMCs)  are  constituted  in  each  of  the  NCR  sub-regions/constituent states, which work under the administrative control of the respective State Govts. These  NCRPMCs  coordinate  with  the  State Government  for preparation  of  Master/  Development  Plans  of  settlements  to  ensure conformity  with  the  Regional  Plan  and  Sub-Regional  Plan  and  submit monthly report regarding violations of the Regional Plan, in a prescribed format.

- (e): In line with Section 2(f) of NCRPB Act, 1985, NCRPB in the Regional Plan-2021 has identified 09 Counter-Magnet Areas (CMAs) to NCR spreading over  six  States.  It  is  envisaged  that  these  CMAs  may  develop  as independent, self-sustaining growth engines and may act as interceptors of migration, reducing the population burden on Delhi and the core NCR by providing alternative economic, social, and infrastructure hubs. Further, NCRPB also provides financial assistance, in terms of soft loans, to CMA for infrastructure projects. As on December, 2025 NCRPB has so far sanctioned loan assistance for Rs.4970.64 Crore for the development of the CMAs.    Out  of  this  Rs.3270.93  Crore  has  been  disbursed  by  NCRPB  to
