Most Recent Housing Scheme: Hakk?nipura–Khilchipur Residential Development (Recent)
The Ujjain Development Authority has recently announced a major residential development in the Hakk?nipura and Khilchipur area (near Agar Road) aimed at adding large-scale, planned housing to the city’s growth corridor. The scheme proposes development across several dozen hectares (reports reference an area in the order of tens to hundreds of hectares) to create approximately 5,000 new housing units intended to serve up to ~35,000 residents. The project combines compact apartment blocks and plotted residential layouts, designed to be infrastructure-ready from day one with internal roads, potable water supply, sewer/drainage, street lighting, and neighbourhood green spaces.
This initiative forms part of a wider town-development planning effort (linked to UDA’s Town Development Schemes such as the larger TDS-3 to TDS-6 planning corridor along Devas Road and Agar Road) to decongest the city centre, provide affordable housing options, and channel outward growth into well-planned sectors.
