Meerut’s First TOD Township Could Change Delhi Road Real Estate Forever

Meerut, August 27, 2026: Meerut is moving closer to developing Uttar Pradesh’s first Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) township, with a 294-hectare project planned along Delhi Road across four villages, including Mohiuddinpur. The township could bring a major change to the area’s housing, commercial development and connectivity.


294 hectares to be developed in two phases

The proposed township will be developed in 31 sectors across Phase 1 and Phase 2. The Meerut Development Authority (MDA) has selected IQT India Pvt Ltd to prepare the layout plan.

The company has been given 90 days, but MDA officials are targeting completion within two months. Once the layout receives approval, plotting and development of roads, parks and other infrastructure can begin.


When could the township launch?

The timeline now depends on how quickly the layout and subsequent approvals are completed. After the layout is prepared, RERA registration could take around 1.5 to 2 months. Board and government approvals may require another 15–20 days.

If the process stays on schedule, the township could be launched around Diwali or the New Year, before the Model Code of Conduct for the upcoming Assembly elections comes into effect.

 


Land acquisition remains a key challenge

The project has not been without hurdles. Farmers had earlier declined to provide land through mutual consent, following which MDA moved towards acquisition under the land acquisition law.

A Social Impact Assessment (SIA) is currently being conducted, with Gautam Buddha University in Noida appointed for the exercise.

So far, around 157 hectares of land has been purchased, while another 12 hectares of government land is expected to be transferred to MDA. Around 130 hectares is proposed to be acquired under the applicable land acquisition process.


What the township could mean for Meerut property buyers

The project could create a new residential and commercial growth corridor along Delhi Road. Planned roads, parks and organised development may improve connectivity and bring new housing and business opportunities to the area.

For homebuyers and investors, the bigger significance is that a large planned township can gradually attract supporting infrastructure, retail, services and employment around it. However, actual property demand and prices will depend on the final layout, connectivity, approvals and pace of development.


Grihik Takeaway: Meerut’s proposed TOD township is more than a housing project. With 294 hectares planned across four villages, it could create a new organised urban growth zone on Delhi Road and reshape the surrounding property market once development begins.
