Four New 'Namo Cities' (Namo Nodes) Proposed in the National Capital Region (NCR)

¨ Four new Greenfield cities, named Namo Cities or Namo Nodes, have been proposed under the National Capital Region Regional Plan 2041.

¨   The proposal was announced on 16 June 2026 after the 42nd Board Meeting of the National Capital Region Planning Board.

¨     The National Capital Region Planning Board functions under the National Capital Region Planning Board Act, 1985.

¨  The National Capital Region (NCR) is a planning region comprising Delhi and adjoining districts of Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, and Rajasthan.

¨   The NCR Planning Board prepares regional plans for land use, transport, urban development, and infrastructure coordination across the NCR.

¨     One Namo City is proposed in each of the four NCR participating states—Delhi, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, and Rajasthan.

¨     The cities will be developed as mixed-use Transit-Oriented Developments (TODs) at selected existing and proposed stations of the Namo Bharat Regional Rapid Transit System (RRTS).

¨     Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) is an urban planning model that integrates housing, commercial spaces, offices, and public services around high-capacity public transport stations.

¨     Greenfield cities are new planned urban settlements developed on previously undeveloped land, rather than by redeveloping existing urban areas.
