DDA Zone M Delhi
The official designation in DDA’s present zonal plan table is North West Delhi-II for DDA M Zone. This zonal region is well-known for the Rohini Sub-City and consists of large scale planned sectors which include residential areas, commercial nodes, institutional, industrial zones, roadways and green areas. Present DDA’s zonal plan page describes the total land area to be 15,851 hectares. The earlier planning documents give information about smaller planning components individually such as the Rohini Phase III, IV and V area. Therefore, the present DDA zone level figure for the zonal region should be considered as 15,851 hectares.
DDA Zone M at a Glance
DDA Zone M Map: Where Is It Located?
Zone M is located in the northwest of Delhi, where the planning aspect of this zone has some connection with the proposed expansion of Rohini. The old notifications on the planning aspect of this region mention the region surrounding Rohini Phases III, IV & V, whose major geographic features include the Western Yamuna Canal, railway lines, major roads, and adjacent planning zones. The map of Zone from the DDA includes links to Narela Sub-City, Khera Kalan, Khera Khurd, Siraspur, Libaspur, Badli, Haiderpur, Rithala, and Pitampura. The key geographic references for understanding the DDA Zone M Map are:
Rohini planned sectors
Rohini Phases III, IV and V
Sultanpuri
Begumpur
Nithari
Barwala
Prahladpur Banger
Rani Khera
Karala
Madanpur Dabas
Mohammadpur Majri
Parts of Khera Khurd
DDA M Zone Areas and Localities
DDA records show a broad mix of planned and existing settlements associated..
DDA Zone M Land Use
The land-use structure of Zone is broader than residential development alone.
This means a DDA Zone M Land Use Map should be read at more than one level. The broad zone identifies the planning context, while detailed sector and layout plans provide more useful information for a particular property. Knowledge of the planning framework of the various zones of Delhi will be useful during the study of land and its possibilities. Those looking at another major planning area can also refer to Land in L Zone for more context.
Rohini Development
The strongest planned-development identity of Zone M comes from Rohini. DDA's layout records contain detailed plans for numerous Rohini sectors, including:
Sector 20–22
Sector 23
Sector 24
Sector 25
Sector 26
Sector 27 and 28
Sector 29
Sector 30
Sector 31
Sector 32
Sector 34 and 35
Sector 36 and 37
Sector 38
Sector 39
Sector 40
Sector 41
The DDA also has separate records for Rohini Phase III, IV and V, apart from the records of layouts related to industries and facilities. New records in the DDA layout database include Rohini sectors which have been proposed or modified, such as Sector 26, Sector 29, Sector 32, Sector 34, Sector 37 and Sector 38.
Residential Development
Use of residences constitutes an important part of the Rohini development scheme. The DDA layout database includes records of residential pockets, alternative plots, group housing plans, facilities and other related layouts in Rohini phases.
Commercial and Facility Development
Commercial development in Zone M is supported by facility centres, local shopping areas and other designated commercial uses. The planning structure also includes facilities such as:
Local shopping centres
Community facilities
Schools
Hospitals
Sports facilities
Police and fire services
Religious and socio-cultural facilities
Other public and semi-public uses
The actual permitted use of a particular plot should still be checked against its applicable layout and planning designation.
Industrial Areas
Industrial development is also present within the wider Zone-M planning structure. DDA's Rohini layout records include a Rohini Industrial Area and planning for an industrial area around the later Rohini phases. The Zone-M map also identifies infrastructure and utility uses associated with the planned development.
Parks, Green Areas and Open Spaces
Green and recreational areas are incorporated into the planned development framework. The Rohini Zone-M land-use map identifies green belt/agricultural green and water-body categories, while the sector-level planning structure includes parks and recreational facilities.
Zonal Development Plan
The DDA Zone M Zonal Development Plan serves as the planning basis that links the Delhi Master Plan 2047 to the layout planning. At present, the DDA MPD-2021 Zonal Development Plan webpage has listed Zone M having a report and map. With regards to the Rohini area, the planning document of the DDA has listed the land use types, sector limits, road widths, railway lines, utility services and semi-public/ public facilities.
DDA Zone M Layout Plans
DDA maintains a substantial collection of Zone-M layout records.
These include:
Rohini sector layouts
Residential pockets
Alternative plot layouts
Industrial-area layouts
Community facilities
Public and semi-public facility sites
Utility infrastructure
Sector modifications
Vacant-land utilisation plans
The current DDA layout database specifically lists Rohini M Zone sector plans from Sector 20 through Sector 41, along with separate North-West Delhi-II and North-West Delhi-III references.
Roads and Transportation in Zone M
Transportation is an important part of the Zone-M planning structure. The Rohini planning map shows major road rights-of-way, including 100 m, 60 m, 45 m, 30 m and 24 m corridors, together with railway lines and other circulation infrastructure.
The map also identifies:
Western Yamuna Canal
Railway line toward Rohtak
Railway line toward New Delhi
NH-10 / Rohtak Road references
Major sector roads
Utility corridors
Drainage infrastructure
For property research, the actual road shown in the approved layout should be checked rather than relying only on a general locality map.
What to Check Before Buying Property
Exact property location
Sector, pocket and block
Revenue village and khasra details
Ownership and title documents
Applicable land-use designation
Relevant DDA layout plan
Road width and access
Building and development controls
Current permissions and approvals
Whether the proposed use matches the designated use
This is particularly important in areas where planned Rohini sectors, villages, industrial pockets, green areas and infrastructure corridors occur close to one another. For broader planning research, readers can also refer to DDA Land Use in Delhi, DDA Property Verification, and the DDA Zonal Development Plan.
Zone M and Adjoining Planning Areas
Zone M sits within a wider north-west Delhi planning network.
Some villages cross planning-zone boundaries. For example, DDA records show parts of Karala, Rani Khera, Madanpur Dabas, Mohammadpur Majri and Khera Khurd associated with Zone M in DDA land pooling related records.
