BDA Announces Four New Town Planning Schemes Covering 969 Acres In Bhubaneswar

In accordance with Section 23(1) of the Odisha Development Authorities (ODA) Act, the Bhubaneswar Development Authority (BDA) has announced that it will create and execute four new Town Planning (TP) Schemes (TP No 42-45) in the Bhubaneswar Development Plan Area (BDPA). In keeping with the Government of Odisha’s goal, the project is yet another important step toward Bhubaneswar’s planned urbanization and sustainable development.

Through thorough urban and regional planning, the Government of Odisha’s “SAMRUDHA SAHAR” Scheme aims to accelerate economic growth throughout the State and encourage planned urbanization. By promoting equitable and sustainable development, the plan aims to turn cities into vibrant hubs for growth. Its goal is to provide comprehensive and sustainable urban expansion by facilitating the development of urban infrastructure through the integrated provision of necessary infrastructure, facilities, and services.

Town Planning Scheme No. 42/2026, which covers a portion of Patrapada Mouza over an area of Ac-330.07 acres; Town Planning Scheme No. 43/2026, which covers a portion of Bhagabanpur Mouza over an area of Ac-264.33 acres; Town Planning Scheme No. 44/2026, which covers a portion of Bijipur, Bhagabanpur, Baliapada, and Kasipur Mouzas over an area of Ac-290.67 acres; and Town Planning Scheme No. 45/2026, which covers a portion of Bijipur Mouza over an area of Ac-83.68 acres. The total area covered by these four plans is Ac-968.75 acres.

The process of creating Town Planning Schemes to guarantee the planned development of urban areas with sufficient infrastructure and public amenities is started by the statement of intention under Section 23(1) of the ODA Act. By providing roads, drainage, water supply, sewage, electricity networks, public utilities, open spaces, and social infrastructure, the programs seek to promote orderly urban growth while guaranteeing that the benefits of development are distributed fairly among landowners through land reconstitution and the allocation of Town Planning plots.
