Meerut New Township (Mohiuddinpur) — Master Plan, Phases & Land Use

What this project is

The Meerut New Township — referred to in official and press material as the MEDA Delhi Road Township, the Meerut Delhi Road Housing Scheme, or simply the "New Township" — is being built by the Meerut Development Authority (MEDA) in Mohiuddinpur, on Delhi Road near the Ghaziabad border. It is billed as the state's first scheme built on the principle of mixed land use, where shops, residences, offices and IT-linked industrial units sit on different floors of the same buildings. The site is close to the Meerut South RRTS/RapidX station (about 1.3 km), the Dedicated Freight Corridor (about 1.5 km), the Delhi–Meerut Expressway and Haridwar Bypass (about 2 km), Mohiuddinpur railway station (about 1.5 km), Partapur railway station (about 4 km), and roughly 10 km from Meerut city.

Total planned area vs. area targeted by near-term milestones

Two different figures have been used for the township's size, and it's important to separate them:

• Initial round figure (2023–early 2025): official and press statements described the township as being developed on 300 hectares in Mohiuddinpur along Delhi Road.
• Refined, village-wise total (mid-2025 onward): later reporting puts the township at 294 hectares in Mohiuddinpur along Delhi Road, developed by MEDA on a mixed-use model. This matches the sum of four separate village land parcels — 111.79 hectares from Mohiuddinpur, 130.81 hectares from Kayastha Gaondi, 21.97 hectares from Ikla and 30.09 hectares from Chhajjupur — which adds up to roughly 294–295 hectares.

As of the last confirmed update, 127 hectares of land had been purchased, with acquisition continuing in Mohiuddinpur, Chhajjupur, Ikla and Kayasth Gaondi villages (position as of August 2025). This is the land actually in MEDA's hands, not the full notified footprint — buyers and researchers should not treat "294 ha planned" as "294 ha ready."

Phasing: hectares and target years

The township is split into two development phases, further broken into sectors:

• A total of 31 sectors are planned by combining Phase 1 and Phase 2.
• Phase 1 covers Mohiuddinpur and Chhajjupur. This phase is being built by taking land from Mohiuddinpur and Chhajjupur along Delhi Road, for which notification has already been issued, covering a combined 141.88 hectares.
• Phase 2 covers Ikla and Kayastha Gaondi. Phase 2 will be developed using land from Ikla and Kayastha Gaondi villages; as of the reporting date notification for these two villages had not yet been issued, and a combined 152.78 hectares was to be acquired.
• Within Phase 1, initial development work was slated to start on a 60-hectare portion.
• By the time the foundation stone was laid (early August 2025), 122 hectares of the 294-hectare footprint had already been purchased.
• Development is being carried out across the 31 sectors in two phases, with work in two sectors expected to be completed by November 2025 and the township formally launched, with plot sales beginning, around Diwali (2025).

Note on status: these are the milestones reported through August–October 2025. No independently confirmed public update on whether the November 2025 target or Diwali 2025 plot-sale launch was actually met has been found; this page will be updated when firmer confirmation is available.

Planning horizon and who is preparing the layout

Unlike the city-wide Meerut Master Plan 2031 (see below), the New Township's own detailed layout was still being commissioned in 2026. MEDA invited applications for the appointment of a Project Management Consultant (PMC) to prepare the layout plan and manage in-colony development, with a pre-bid meeting held at the MEDA office on 15 April. Coverage of that tender describes the scheme as a 294-hectare mixed-use township planned with a horizon year of 2050, and states that the selected firm will study population, real estate trends, land value, economic conditions and surrounding development as part of preparing the plan — i.e., as of April 2026, the granular sector-level master plan (roads, plot sizes, exact land-use zoning) was not yet finalised; MEDA had only fixed the broad phase/sector skeleton (2 phases, 31 sectors, ~294–295 ha).

No named external planning/consultancy firm for this specific township had been publicly confirmed as of the research date; MEDA officials quoted in coverage (Vice-Chairman, Secretary, Chief Town Planner) are authority officials, not the appointed layout consultant.

Land use and design concept

No official percentage-wise land-use split (e.g., X% residential, Y% industrial) specific to this township has been published; MEDA has so far described the concept qualitatively rather than as a notified zoning table. Reported features of the concept include:

• A mixed-use model with residential, commercial and industrial activity on different floors of the same buildings, rather than separated zones.
• "Flatted factories" for space-light industries — categories such as gems and jewellery, scissors and sports goods manufacturing are being planned for accommodation in flatted-factory format.
• Plots planned across EWS, LIG, MIG and HIG income categories, i.e., housing for all income groups.
• Additional planned features include schools, a medical college, and consolidated divisional government offices, intended to generate employment and attract industry.

Because no quantified land-use table for this specific project could be verified, this page does not present a land-use percentage chart — doing so would risk fabricating numbers.

Population and employment targets

In a presentation to the state government, MEDA indicated the township would house about 1.85 lakh (185,000) people, accommodating around 41,000 families. Authority officials have also linked the project to wider regional housing demand: the 300-hectare-scale township (as originally conceived) was targeted at meeting about 8% of NCR's residential housing need. On the jobs side, MEDA's Vice-Chairman stated that the mixed land-use approach would mean while 1.85 lakh families could reside there, around 2.5 lakh people would also work there.

Budget and funding reported so far

Funding figures have been announced in stages rather than as one fixed capital-cost figure:

• Rs 409 crore was released/sanctioned to MEDA for the township.
• A separate government approval sanctioned a budget of Rs 503 crore for the scheme.
• Purchase of the roughly 141-hectare Phase 1 land parcel (Mohiuddinpur and Chhajjupur) alone was estimated to cost about Rs 1,007.34 crore, since farmers are being paid four times the circle rate rather than land being compulsorily acquired.
• The overall integrated township project has since been valued at around Rs 2,570 crore. A mid-2026 report described it as a roughly Rs 2,500 crore TOD township being developed on 294 hectares across four villages around Mohiuddinpur.

These figures are not all directly comparable — some cover only land purchase, others cover budget sanctions, and the Rs 2,500–2,570 crore figure appears to be a broader project-value estimate from trade/industry trackers rather than an MEDA-published capital cost. Treat them as separate, not additive.

How this fits into Meerut's city-wide Master Plan

The Mohiuddinpur township sits inside — but is a distinct, named scheme from — MEDA's city-wide document. The Meerut Masterplan 2031 is the operative land-use plan for Meerut's development area, notified by MEDA under the UP Urban Planning and Development Act, 1973, approved on 24 January 2024, and covering roughly 1,043 sq km across 305 villages. It is also the first masterplan in India to formally embed Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) zones. Under that plan, MEDA has earmarked about 3,273 hectares for TOD — roughly 2,442 hectares across seven TOD zones around the RRTS and Meerut Metro corridors, with the remainder inside two Special Development Areas. The Mohiuddinpur/New Township scheme is the flagship project being delivered under this TOD policy and the state's "Mukhyamantri Shahri Vistarikaran Yojana" (Chief Minister's Urban Expansion Scheme), but it has its own separate layout process (see planning-horizon section above) rather than being a single sector inside Master Plan 2031's own zoning tables.

Where to find official documents

MEDA publishes master plan, sector-layout and scheme information on its official site. For the city-wide Master Plan 2031 and general sector layouts, check the Master Plan and Scheme Layout pages on mdameerut.in. For the Mohiuddinpur/New Township scheme specifically — including any future tender documents, the appointed layout consultant's report, and sector-wise plot lists once notified — check MEDA's tenders/notices sections on the same site, since a dedicated public project page for this township was not found as a stable, citable URL at the time of research. Always verify a scheme's sanctioned-layout status directly with MEDA before transacting, since unauthorised colonies remain a documented issue in Meerut.
