TOD Policy Explained | क्यों Metro के आसपास बनते हैं बड़े Projects? | Delhi vs Gurugram
In the context of Gurgaon, Delhi NCR, and real estate, TOD stands for Transit-Oriented Development.

It is an urban planning policy that encourages high-density, mixed-use development around mass transit stations such as metro stations, RRTS stations, and major public transport hubs.

Key features of TOD
🚇 Development concentrated within walking distance (typically 500–800 meters) of a transit station.
🏢 Higher permissible FAR (Floor Area Ratio), subject to the applicable policy and approvals.
🏬 Mixed-use projects combining residential, commercial, retail, and office spaces.
🚶 Pedestrian-friendly streets and improved last-mile connectivity.
🚲 Better cycling infrastructure and reduced dependence on private vehicles.
🌳 Public spaces and sustainable urban design.
Benefits for real estate
Higher development potential for eligible land.
Improved accessibility, often increasing buyer and tenant demand.
Better long-term appreciation prospects around major transit corridors.
Opportunity for developers to create integrated mixed-use projects.
In Haryana (Gurgaon)

When an area is officially notified under the state's TOD policy, eligible projects may apply for benefits such as:

Additional FAR (subject to policy provisions).
Mixed-use permissions.
Modified development norms and building controls.
Other incentives, subject to approval by the competent authority.

It's important to note that TOD designation does not automatically grant additional rights. Developers must comply with the applicable policy and obtain the required approvals from the relevant authority.
