A new parallel CBD (Central Business District) has been proposed st Sakawrtuichhun to cater the future demand of western corridor development and four new satellite townships have been proposed at Sairang, tanhril, Lungleng and Durtlang to meet the new housing requirements. State level administrative hub has also been proposed at Govt. Complex, Luangmual and also the District level administrative hub at Zemabawk.

A Special Economic Zone (SEZ), Public-Private Partnership (PPP) and several taxes to stabilize the econimic status of the population of Aizawl have also been proposed.
