To encourage high-density urban clusters, the UP government has established a transit-focused development strategy for regions within 1.5 km of the express train track. This allows developers to request higher FARs (floor area raito).

The development of "sustainable urban growth centers" targeting public transportation networks such as the Metro, Bus Rapid Transit System (BRTS) and Rapid Rail Transit System is envisioned by the TOD policy, which was launched by the central government as a model for states in 2017. The idea is to provide access to all residential and commercial amenities within a "walkable" area so that people don't have to travel great distances in private vehicles for work or other errands.

The policy will establish what is known as the TOD "zone of influence" in the trans-Hindon area of ​​Ghaziabad, already densely populated with high-rise buildings, where vertical development will be promoted.
