A new city, built for tomorrow.
New Shillong is rising at Umsawli — planned from the ground up as a tourist city, and built around four economic anchors so growth doesn't crush the old city's streets.
Four economic anchors
A new city needs a reason to exist. New Shillong is planned around four — each one an engine for jobs, and a magnet for the region.
Tourism
A modern gateway to Meghalaya — hospitality, a lake circuit and a ropeway that opens the waterfalls, root bridges and living hills to the world.
Agri-logistics
Cold chains, processing and a logistics hub so Khasi and Jaintia produce reaches markets faster, at better value, with less waste on the road.
Sports
Stadiums and training facilities anchored by the National Games — building a lasting sports economy, not just a one-off event.
Knowledge
Universities, research and skilling campuses that keep the North-East's talent home and draw students and industry to the plateau.
Featured developments
New Shillong Secretariat complex
The administrative core of the new city at Umsawli — offices, plaza and public realm.
New Shillong link expressway
The high-capacity spine connecting Umsawli to the old city, lifting through-traffic off inner roads.
Umiam lake & ropeway tourism circuit
A ropeway and lakefront circuit turning Umiam into a signature arrival experience for visitors.
National Games sports complex
Multi-sport stadiums and an athletes' village, sized to host the National Games and serve the city after.
Umsawli ICCC & drainage network
Integrated command centre and storm-water backbone laid before the district is built out.
