Presently, NCR is spread over 55,083 square km and has four participating states (24 districts and entire NCT of Delhi as its constituent area.

However, on July 8, NCRPB made the geo-portal open to public to optimise the utilisation of resources in public interest. The Geo-portal can be accessed through the NCRPB website https://ncrpb.nic.in/ and also through the weblink https://ncrpbgis.nic.in/
