Haryana begins process to develop Namo City, a 9,000-acre greenfield urban centre along KMP corridor
The state has identified villages across Jhajjar, Sonipat and Rohtak for the planned city around the KMP and Delhi-Katra expressways.
The Haryana government has begun the development of Namo City, a greenfield city planned around the Kundli-Manesar-Palwal (KMP) Expressway and the upcoming Delhi-Katra Expressway.
The Haryana Shehri Vikas Pradhikaran (HSVP) has identified villages across Jhajjar, Sonipat and Rohtak districts for the roughly 9,000-acre project, asking farmers there to give their consent on the e-Bhoomi portal by 31 October.
Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini first announced the idea of Namo City in late June, when he met trade representatives from Delhi and pitched a 5,000-acre commercial township to draw wholesale traders out of the Capital's congested markets.
Back in 2018, the Haryana Cabinet had cleared the Panchgram Development Bill, envisaging five new cities over 50,000 hectares that would straddle the expressway across eight districts: Sonipat, Rohtak, Jhajjar, Gurugram, Rewari, Mewat (Nuh), Faridabad and Palwal.
