Delhi: 23,000 new flats to be on offer in DDA’s upcoming scheme
NEW DELHI: Delhi Development Authority (DDA) will come out with the 2023 housing scheme
in May, said senior officials, adding that the inventory will include around 23,000 new EWS and
LIG flats, mostly in the Narela subcity.
“We are expecting that the agenda to launch the scheme will be placed in the April meeting and
as soon as it is approved, we will start inviting applications from May. The price of the flats will
be determined prior to this process and allotment will be done through computerised draw of
lots,” said an official.
To ensure maximum feedback for these new flats, DDA will do the marketing/promotion in all
possible manners. “The authority will also offer the benefit of the amended housing regulation
1968 to buyers to increase sales,” said an official. According to the amended rules, any person
having a flat or a plot in Delhi, measuring less than 67 square metres, is also eligible to apply for
the allotment of new flats. Earlier, the regulations did not allow any individual to apply for a DDA
flat if he/she or family members had any flat or plot irrespective of its area, said the official.
During the launch, DDA plans to put on hold sale of around 16,000 flats under the old schemes
for one or two months to avoid confusion. Officials said the flats under the old schemes were
being sold on a first-come-first-serve basis and even those having a DDA flat could apply for
another.
With the addition of new flats, DDA will have 40,000 unsold flats. Around 16,000 flats unsold
under the old schemes were considered too costly and lacking metro connectivity. “To improve
their saleability, DDA had undertaken various measures, including improvement of transport
infrastructure, construction of urban extension road-II, permitting amalgamation of flats,
allotment on first-come-first-serve basis and some concessions,” the official said.
“Besides improving roads, water supply lines and sewage treatment systems, DDA has also
facilitated construction of Phase-IV metro line on the Rithala-Bawana-Narela corridor, allotment
of land for police stations, and opening of shops to attract buyers.”
