The developable area in DSIR is divided into six (6) Town Planning (TP) Schemes and all 6 draft schemes have been sanctioned. Town Planning Schemes 1 and 2 cover the development in Phase-I. TP 1 is spread over approximately 51 sq km or 12750 acres & TP 2 is over 102 sq. km or 25000 acres.

TP 1 will have approximately 186 km of road & TP 2, 340 km. Right of Way (ROW) varies from 12 m to 70 m i.e. 2 to 6 lane roads, have been master planned. Services and utilities running parallel to the roads & within the ROW will include Storm water drainage, Water supply, Sewerage/Waste Water, Recycled Water, Power, Telecom and PNG.
