CREDAI Tamil Nadu Welcomes Visionary Coimbatore Master Plan 2041 for Balanced Urban Growth

The Hon’ble Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, Thiru M.K. Stalin, today formally launched the Coimbatore Master Plan 2041, a comprehensive and forward-thinking roadmap designed to guide the city’s development over the next two decades.

Prepared by the Department of Town and Country Planning, with active support from industry stakeholders including CREDAI Tamil Nadu, the plan presents a long-term vision to address the challenges of urbanisation and enable sustainable, inclusive growth. Coimbatore is rapidly emerging as Tamil Nadu’s fastest-growing district after Chennai.

The new master plan responds to this pace of change by preparing the region to meet the needs of an estimated population of 6 million by 2041, while enhancing its industrial base, IT infrastructure, and education sector, and significantly improving mobility and connectivity.

• Strategic planning to tackle the pressures of urbanisation while fostering economic, environmental, and social equity
