The Uttar Pradesh government has approved the GIS-based Integrated Master Plan 2031 for Ghaziabad, Loni, and Modinagar/Muradnagar, aiming to promote sustainable urban growth and improve connectivity. 

A major highlight of the Plan is the allocation of 4,261.43 hectares as transit-oriented development (TOD) zones along the regional rapid transit system (RRTS) corridor and 636.61 hectares along two Metro corridors. These TOD areas will support mixed-use development—residential, commercial, and industrial—encouraging compact, walkable neighborhoods linked directly to mass transit. The Master Plan expands the development area to 32,017.81 hectares, a 27.56 percent increase from the 2021 plan, with a projected population of 6.47 million.

Land use distribution includes 12,869.32 hectares for residential, 744 hectares for commercial, 3,531.15 hectares for industrial, 552.74 hectares for mixed-use, 6,032.44 hectares for recreation, and 4,120.95 hectares for transport-related activities. Special Development Areas of 510.56 hectares in Guldhar and 549.5 hectares in Duhai are proposed with higher floor area ratios for vertical expansion.
