According to the Comprehensive Development Plan (CDP) 2010, a 64.9 km ring road is proposed within the Bhubaneswar development area. To support this initiative, the BDA plans to implement 45 TP schemes across 58 revenue villages along the ring road, minimizing the need for land acquisition and promoting sustainable development in the peri-urban area.

The fundamental concept of the Town Planning Scheme involves pooling land from different ownerships within a specific area and redistributing it in an organized manner after reserving a portion for open spaces, social infrastructure, housing for economically weaker sections, and road networks.
