In an urban infrastructure initiative aimed at modernising civic amenities, the Rohtak district administration has planned to develop a Smart Market in Sector 3. The modern marketplace has been envisioned as a well-organised and citizen-friendly commercial hub aligned with contemporary urban development standards.
DC Sachin Gupta chaired a detailed planning meeting at his camp office with Municipal Corporation (MC) officials on Thursday to deliberate on the conceptual framework, infrastructure requirements, and citizen-centric design elements for the proposed project.
“Rohtak’s urban infrastructure is being strengthened with a long-term vision. The proposed Smart Market in Sector 3 is being conceptualised not merely as a commercial complex, but as a modern public urban space offering accessibility, sustainability, and improved quality of life for citizens,” said the Deputy Commissioner.
He said the administration is working to ensure optimal land utilisation and systematic commercial planning, with dedicated spaces for shops and business activity while maintaining orderly movement and efficient public access.
Adequate parking infrastructure, dedicated green zones, and landscaped public spaces will be integrated into the project.
Citizen comfort and community usability will remain central to the design, with proposals for public seating areas, smart gazebos, smart benches, and improved pedestrian-friendly spaces.
In line with future-ready infrastructure planning, the proposed Smart Market is also expected to include electric vehicle charging points, strengthening Rohtak’s transition towards cleaner and sustainable mobility solutions.
To ensure robust urban utility management, the project will incorporate service and drainage duct infrastructure for organised electricity, telecom, and utility networks, along with efficient stormwater drainage systems.
The proposed development also includes enhanced civic and lifestyle infrastructure such as street lighting, high-quality roads and pavements, ATM facilities, fitness spaces, organised shopping infrastructure, clear signage systems, pedestrian footpaths, children’s recreational areas, and aesthetic urban features, including fountains.
The DC emphasised that the administration’s objective is to create a safe, clean, efficient, and visually appealing urban marketplace that reflects the aspirations of a growing city and delivers high-quality public infrastructure.
Joint Commissioner Manjit Kumar and other MC officials were present during the meeting.
