Four new greenfield cities, being planned as “Namo Cities” across the National Capital Region (NCR), will receive central assistance of Rs 5,000 crore over the next five years, Union housing and urban affairs minister Manohar Lal said after a meeting of the NCR Planning Board (NCRPB) on Tuesday, a TOI report stated.
The proposed cities will come up in Delhi, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan under the upcoming Regional Plan 2041. The government also decided that the existing NCR boundary, spread across 55,083 sq km, will remain unchanged, ending discussions over reducing the region’s size.
