INTRODUCTION• Nehru place is a large commercial, financial,

and business centre in Delhi.

• Nehru place is a prominent commercial area in south delhi and houses the headquarters of several indian firms.

• Its earlier name was kalkaji complex.

• It was the biggest of all the 15 district centres proposed in the 1962 master plan of Delhi.

• Planned by Delhi development authority, the 38-hectare site was built atop the aravalli mountain range.

• By the 1980s, it was renamed Nehru Place, after Jawaharlal Nehru, and functioned more as a regional commercial, financial and business centre.

• Today, it is one of Asia’s largest IT hubs.

• Hundreds of shops sell hardware from computers to spare parts, second-hand products, and pirated software. From textile and digital printing shops to multinational technology companies and hawkers, Nehru Place is a confluence of informal and corporate labour, bringing 1,30,000 people daily from all corners of Delhi.

COURTYARD

• Informal activities taking place in the open space.• Since most informal activity takes place on the central

courtyards therefore a large number of hawkers are present. These hawkers occupy over 60% of courtyard spaces which creates congestions for movement.

• No green space around the premises

• Irregular in movement due to hawkers present in between of the passage.

• Very poor lighting.

• No sitting space provided for the customers .

Page 13: CASE STUDY NEHRU PLACE,DELHI

Swot ANALYSIS• STRENGTH• Nehru place is located on the Outer Ring Road so

it can be easily accessible by the other parts of the Delhi.

• As the market is just opposite to Kalkaji Colony and CR Park so it makes the market secure.

• Moreover police patrolling is also there when the market shut downs.

Being an IT Hub, the market caters more to the people of age group 25-35 years because of there shops or job or shopping, etc.

• Nehru Place is designed in such a way that large open spaces are there between the towers, in form of courtyards and parking. Due to long courtyard connectivity fresh air enter these corridors with a thrust.

• Parking are designed near to the Towers which makes it easy for the crowd and the employees and also to the transporters.

• Office blocks are on the second floor which are totally segregated from the loud and the crowd.

WEAKNESS

•Since it was not planned to accommodate these numbers, the result is congestion, lack of sanitation, and a degenerating infrastructure in and around the areas surrounding Nehru Place.

•The market is not so User Friendly, i.e. can’t be easily accessed by handicaps and senior citizens find it difficult to climb the stairs

THREATS

•The United States has named New Delhi's popular Nehru Place as among the world's notorious markets for pirated and counterfeited products including software.

•The ever growing number of hawkers also cause a threat to the placemaking of nehru place causing congestion in movement.

•There have been many bomb scares in nehru place in last decade.

•The security is less as compared to the footfall.

OPPOURTUNITIES

•There can be green spaces or recreational spaces which socialise the office employees and the shopkeepers.

•The hawkers can be assigned a more specific corners/blocks or square rather than the central open courtyards.
