42nd meeting of the National Capital Region Planning Board held in New Delhi today

• The NCRPB is a statutory body constituted under the NCRPB Act, 1985, under the Ministry of Housing & Urban Affairs (MoHUA), tasked with harmonised land-use and infrastructure planning across the National Capital Region.
• The 42nd meeting (16 June 2026) is significant for two policy pivots: retaining the existing NCR boundary and approving four "Namo Cities" as semi-greenfield growth nodes under the Regional Plan-2041.
• Examinable as a federalism + urban-planning case study (multi-state body chaired by a Union Minister with CMs of constituent states).
