v. The National War Museum is proposed to be constructed in Princess

Park area (10.71 acres) in harmony with National War Memorial. Both

are planned to be constructed in central Delhi, near India Gate (Lutyen

Zone, New Delhi). Detailed Survey Plan is enclosed as Appendix A1.

vi. New Delhi was conceived by Edvin Lutyens and built in the period 1912

to 1930. It is 28.73 sq km in area and is approx 2% of the National

Capital Region, which is approx 1,404 sq km. Lutyens Zone is centrally

located and is part of Zone D of Delhi Master Plan 2021. It has

impressive green cover which is a key environmental asset and an

essential lung space for the city. The Lutyens Zone was designed

on ‘Garden City’ principles with a magnificent Vijay Path (‘Road to

Victory’) aligned centrally and bordered with lush green trees and

imposing Government buildings. The entire Vijay Path is overlooked by

the historical Rastrapati Bhavan (President House) at one end. The

National War Museum and the Memorial are planned to be constructed

at the other end of the Vijay Path (Refer site plan showing National War

Museum – Appendix B)

( 1 The existing structures in the demarcated region in the location / survey plan of the

proposed National War Museum can be demolished. The encroachments in the area are

proposed to be demolished in due course. While transplantation of smaller trees is

possible to the site, it may be better to preserve existing trees which are 22 to 100 years

old.)
