Preface
The city of Delhi, capital of this vast land of diversities, is a city laden with layers of history,
a place where civilizations have lived, prospered and perished over centuries. The modern
city today, built over and around a rich tapestry of heritage, presents an opportunity
at every turn, to allow for co-existence of the past, present and the future. In order to
understand this multidimensional urban spectrum and attempt to plan the future, various
city level studies have been initiated by the DUAC. I hope that these studies will help
the planners of modern day Delhi to carefully articulate urban space, structure, form and
environment and sensitively address future requirements.
I convey my thanks to all the Consultants and Members of the Commission who have
tirelessly worked on this research project to bring out this document. I also take this
opportunity to place on record my sincere appreciation of the efforts of Secretary and
other staff of DUAC for providing the necessary administrative support to make this
happen.
I fondly hope that the authorities of the local, state and national government take these
studies seriously and implement, in right earnest, the suggestions given herein.

Summary
Master Plan Delhi 2021, has introduced the concept of Local Area Planning (LAP) with a
view to decentralizing urban governance and developing a framework for participatory
planning and control. The process could accommodate the views of people of the locality
and the elected ward councillor directly. The change so observed will relect need-based,
locally generated/monitored growth of the area, i.e. the ward.
Objective: With the above view in mind, the Delhi Urban Art Commission envisages
undertaking area speciic ward design under the ambit of Local Area Planning in order
to present easily understandable planning policies and proposals which can apply to
the speciic area. The following report analyses Karampura (Municipal Ward No 100),
in an effort to come up with solutions for the area, which witnesses typical chaos due
to the presence of a mix of conditions akin to rest of Delhi/NCR. There is an extremely
high volume of vehicles and on-road parking, causing the right of way (ROW) to shrink
and rampant horizontal growth largely violates the development guidelines promoted
under various sections of Master Plan Delhi 2021 to sustain increasing population and
socioeconomic growth of the city.
Also, due to a wide range of activities such as residential, institutional, commercial and
haphazard small scale industries, the ambiance and the trafic in the area is very confused.
The proposed planning projects are expected to bring some order to this part of the city.
Methodology: The Karampura ward varies from high-rise luxury apartments to low rise
plotted development as well as a large population that lives in the slums that lie within
the limits of this ward. The area has high-end luxury car showrooms, ofices, banquet
halls, etc. on one hand, and on the other hand, unauthorized and hazardous industries
that are located in the slums. The area has been evolving as a major transport hub for the
movement of freight all around the country.
This report presents a comprehensive overview of the urban fabric in terms of land use,
space activities, work centres and mixed-use streets. In addition, the urban transport study
includes identifying road functions, transport networks etc. It also includes qualitative and
quantitative analysis of the urban fabric, social infrastructure and utilities for the people
residing in the area. Area speciic issues have been addressed based upon the comparison
of the current on-site situation to that mentioned in the Master Plan Delhi 2021 and the
Zonal Plan for the area.
Approach: To bring about changes in the area by proposing minimal, yet meaningful
interventions, by selective and speciic development of land along intensively developed
zones, with a series of phase-wise design solutions, besides identifying policy control. The
approach thus requires planning through a development based on urban design principles
involving built form, space use and people. The proposals also identify the stakeholders
involved and the people affected, to provide for their vision for the area.

Residential Colonies
Plotted Development with open
green spaces, schools and ofice
buildings exist in Karampura. The
height of the buildings vary from
G+1 to G+2. Due to lack of
convenience shopping, mixed-use
has developed along the streets.
On-street parking has led to a major
movement problem.
DLF Capital Greens
The stark contrast in the skyline can be observed with DLF Capital Greens next to Karampura East. The buildings are
as high as G+26 loors.
Transport Hub
Chara Mandi has evolved as a transport hub, with approximately 100 shops
that provide delivery services for various goods to and from Delhi to other
parts of the country. Patel Nagar Railway Station for freight is also adjacent to
the area.
Urban Village
Area mainly covers the unauthorized colony with people working in factories
in Karampura and Najafgarh Industrial areas.

Approach
The major issues of concern are due
to mismanaged trafic movement and
parking of various vehicles i.e. two-
wheelers, Light Motor Vehicle (LMV),
Heavy Motor Vehicle (HMV), etc.
Thus the various measures have to
be worked out in a speciic order.
The primary need is to improve the
ROW of important roads as per
required road section.
•ShivajiNajafgarhRoadtobeimproved with 60 m ROW.
•SatguruRamSinghMargtobeimproved with 30 m ROW.
•MilanCinemaRoadtobeimproved with 24 m ROW.
•Proposalforanewroadtoaddressthe confusion and congestion
under Ashok Park Metro Station,
Zakhira lyover and Chara Mandi.
The secondary need is to provide
space for parking at strategic
locations.
•Proposalforamultilevelparkingclose to the mid-stretch of Shivaji
Najafgarh Road with a capacity of
525 two-wheelers and 800 cars.
The next most important measure
is to provide space for the transport
agents, loading and unloading space,
HMV parking and services.
•ProposalforaTransportHubatChara Mandi with 100 shops, 10
HMV loading and unloading spaces,
parking for 34 HMVs, 50 cars and

areas, 2 vehicle weighing machines.

4.2 Proposal 1: Multi-level Parking
Proposal 1
Considering that the Shivaji Najafgarh
Road has improved to 60 m ROW,
space for vehicle parking has to
be identiied. The major issues of
concern are due to mismanaged
trafic movement and parking of
various vehicles i.e. two-wheelers,
LMVs, HMVs etc. Thus, a strategic
location for parking has been
identiied at the mid-stretch of
the road.
The space for the structure is
proposed to be taken from the
open park currently under DDA
ownership. A multi-level parking is
proposed to resolve the parking
problem with a capacity for 525 two-
wheelers and 800 cars.
The parking is on multiple levels with
3 basements, stilt and 4 upper loors.
It will be provided with lifts and stairs
for the safety and convenience of
parking users.
Site Area = 184.6 m x 37.7 m

ConclusionThe land use in Karampura includes: residential, commercial, small-scale industries allied to recycling of waste and metal
scrap. The Shivaji Najafgarh road has evolved as a commercial road with automobile showrooms, ofices and banquet
halls. The Chara Mandi area has also evolved as a transport hub for freight activities. The presence of Patel Nagar
Railway Station and freight-related loading and unloading activities have caused transport related problems.
The existing varying ROW of roads with insuficient drop-off and parking spaces creates continuous chaos. The
road has dilapidated bus shelters, no auto and cycle rickshaw stands, no public amenities. The safety and security of
pedestrians and cyclists has been neglected. Thus, the ROW for the roads need to be revised, focusing on these issues
and the future needs of growing trafic.
The proposed multilevel parking resolves the issue of insuficient parking space and caters to the commercial corridor
of Shivaji Najafgarh Road. This restructured and redesigned road section not only eases movement along this particular
stretch, but also articulates the dedicated paths for pedestrians, cyclists and vehicle movement with speciic green buffer
zones. This is also enhanced with bus shelters, foot over-bridges, kiosks, public amenities, dustbins, etc.
The proposed transport terminal abuts the existing railway line which facilitates freight loading and unloading. The
design includes parking and service areas as well. The commercial component of the built mass caters to the shops for
transport agents. The large open green space acts as a recreational area. Movement is rationalised by strengthening the
road network and trafic movement.
