Site feasibility
A study of zoning, road widths, permissible FSI, setbacks and access to show what can be built on the land.
Urban Planning & Layout Design in Nagpur
Ashlar Studio offers urban planning services in Nagpur, led by founder Pranav Kadoo, an architect and urban planner. We prepare land layouts, plotted development and group housing masterplans, and site feasibility studies that check what a piece of land can hold under UDCPR and the applicable NMC or NMRDA planning rules before you invest in design.

What does an urban planner do for land in Nagpur?
Layout planning
Plotted layouts with roads, open spaces, amenity plots and plot sizes arranged to meet planning norms.
Masterplanning
Overall plans for group housing, campuses or mixed-use sites, phasing buildings, open space and circulation.
Regulation checks
Compliance review against UDCPR and the development plan applicable to NMC or NMRDA areas.
Infrastructure planning
Indicative planning of internal roads, drainage, water supply and street lighting corridors for the layout.
Presentation drawings
Clear plans and 3D views for landowners, partners and investors to evaluate options.
How is Nagpur's growth shaping land development?
Nagpur is expanding outward from its core, with new transport links and a regional planning authority covering the wider metropolitan area. Understanding that context is the starting point for any layout or masterplan.
- The Nagpur Metro Rail corridors are changing how land near stations is valued and used, so access to them is a key feasibility question.
- NMRDA (Nagpur Metropolitan Region Development Authority) handles planning in much of the region beyond NMC limits, so the applicable authority depends on where the land is.
- UDCPR sets unified rules across Maharashtra for FSI, setbacks, road widths and open space, and layouts must be planned around them.
- Peripheral areas are converting from agricultural to residential use, which requires careful planning of roads and amenity space from the outset.
- Nagpur's hot climate calls for tree-lined streets, shaded open spaces and plot orientation that limits west exposure.
- Stormwater drainage needs space reserved in the layout, as heavy monsoon rain can flood poorly planned low-lying plots.

Urban Planning FAQs
It depends on where the land is. Land within Nagpur Municipal Corporation limits is handled by NMC, while much of the surrounding metropolitan region falls under NMRDA. We confirm the applicable authority during the feasibility stage.
Our fee for a feasibility study is [Empty Value], depending on land area and how many options you want tested. We confirm it in writing after reviewing the land details.
UDCPR is the Unified Development Control and Promotion Regulations for Maharashtra. It sets FSI, setbacks, road widths, open space and parking rules, so it determines how much you can build and how a layout must be arranged.
We can prepare the layout plan, but the land must first be permitted for non-agricultural use through the relevant authority. We can advise on what the layout would look like once that conversion is in place.
Land near transit corridors can be subject to specific provisions in the planning rules. We check the current regulations for your plot as part of the feasibility study.
