The Jaipur Development Authority (JDA) has designated five major roads along the city's East-West Metro line as Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) corridors. The areas within approximately 800 metres of metro stations are now earmarked for mixed land use, allowing residential, commercial, and industrial development under the state's newly announced TOD policy. This initiative is aimed at promoting sustainable urban growth, reducing traffic congestion, and improving connectivity. The corridors span key junctions including Veer Tejaji Circle, Pandit T.N. Mishra Marg, Bharat Ashram Marg, Janpath, ESI Road, and Tonk Road.
The Jaipur Development Authority has officially marked five key roads along the East-West Metro line as Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) corridors. These corridors extend about 800 metres around metro stations and are intended to support mixed-use development combining residential, commercial, and industrial spaces. The decision follows the recent introduction of Rajasthan's TOD policy, which provides a framework for organized urban growth around transit nodes, encouraging higher density development while promoting walkable and accessible urban zones.

The identified corridors include stretches from Veer Tejaji Circle to Pandit T.N. Mishra Marg junction, Pandit T.N. Mishra Marg to Bharat Ashram Marg, Bharat Ashram Marg to Janpath Marg, Janpath to ESI Road, and ESI Road to Tonk Road. Collectively, these corridors cover over five kilometres of urban roads along the metro alignment. The policy aims to integrate land use with transport planning, ensuring that development around metro stations is structured, efficient, and well-connected.
Under the TOD framework, specific guidelines have been introduced, such as minimum road widths, building height restrictions, and mixed-use mandates. These measures are intended to improve accessibility to public transport, reduce dependency on private vehicles, and enable high-density, sustainable development along transit corridors. The policy also allows higher floor area ratios (FAR) to encourage growth while keeping traffic and urban congestion under control.
Jaipur's metro network, operational for several years, includes stations such as Mansarovar, New Aatish Market, Vivek Vihar, Chhoti Chaupar, and Badi Chaupar, which serve as anchor points for the newly designated TOD corridors. The development around these stations is expected to transform urban spaces, facilitating commercial activity, residential convenience, and improved city mobility.
The TOD initiative aligns with wider national trends in urban planning, where Indian cities like Meerut have already started implementing TOD zones around rail and metro networks. These examples demonstrate the potential of TOD policies to shape sustainable urban growth, integrate public transport with real estate, and reduce traffic-related challenges. Jaipur's move also complements the city's master plan, encouraging systematic urban expansion rather than unplanned development along metro routes.
