SADA was in April 2000 given jurisdiction over 28,102 hectares of Gwalior district, and 1,912 hectares of Morena district, totalling 30,014 hectares and 36 villages. The entire region was Master planned by a firm called DKS Consultants who further gave the planning and engineering works to Rishi Dev Architects and Associates. They successfully completed the planning of the major phases of the project in 2006. The area is bounded to the West by the [[Tigra Dam|Tigra reservoir]] and Sank river, and to the East by the [[AH47]] (previously the NH3). The ground is considered to be poor quality for agriculture, therefore suitable for urbanization.<ref>{{cite web|title=Gwalior Counter Magnet - National Capital Region|url=http://ncrgwalior.com:80/counter_gwalior.htm|publisher=SADA|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20020609091028/http://ncrgwalior.com/counter_gwalior.htm|archivedate=9 June 2002|date=2001|access-date=2 January 2019|url-status=dead|df=dmy-all}}</ref>
