About The Project - Area Based Development At North & South T.T. Nagar

Government of India plans to implement Smart City Program for next 5 years (FY 2015-16 to FY 2019-20) to transform

100 Indian Cities to Smart Cities. In this context, Bhopal has incorporated a special purpose vehicle (SPV) – Bhopal
Smart City Development Corporation Limited (BSCDCL) (the “Authority”) to plan, design, implement, coordinate and

monitor the smart city projects in Bhopal. BSCDCL is a company incorporated under Indian Companies Act 2013 with
equal shareholding from Madhya Pradesh Urban Development Company Limited (MPUDCL) on behalf of Government of

Madhya Pradesh (GoMP) and Bhopal Municipal Corporation (BMC).

GoI floated a Smart Cities Challenge, a competition designed to inspire and support municipal leaders as they develop
smart proposals to improve residents lives. In 2015, in first round of competition, Bhopal was one of the 20 cities

selected, which would receive funding from the Ministry of Urban Development. Under the Area Based Development
proposal of Bhopal, Tatya Tope Nagar area was selected for redevelopment. More than 90% of land in this area is owned

by government. The project is designed to unlock the value of underutilized government land in the heart of the city.

Bhopal’s Area Based Development (ABD) proposal includes redevelopment of 342 acre of North & South TT Nagar.

Bhopal Smart City in TT Nagar has been envisioned as 24/7 activity based, thriving and energetic place where people
will live work and play. It will offer swift mobility through various modes of public transport. This will give people great
convenience to commute with reduced time and convenient access to amenities & facilities achieved through land use

coordination of carefully balanced areas of residences, office, amenities and entertainment area focused on Education,

Research, Entrepreneurship and Tourism.

ABD Area is planned as Mixed-Use Compact Development within the heart of Bhopal city which is further part of the urban
fabric of the city. It is strategically located between two primary arteries of city (BRTS & proposed Metro) and embodies

ToD planning principles to provide a compact, walkable and sustainable spatial morphology. This will lead to a ripple effect
in catalyzing the future economic and social development of adjacent areas near the project site and make a benchmark

for Bhopal to replicate in other parts of city. Therefore, state-of-the-art connectivity, infrastructure and transportation
access have been integrated into the design of the city. The project redevelops the area as high-quality, high-density

mixed-use district of residential, commercial and open space facilities that optimize land and real estate values.
