DDA Slashes Fees to Boost Delhi Housing & Commercial Growth

The Delhi Development Authority (DDA) has greenlit the Housing Scheme 2025, offering 177 residential flats in premium locations such as Vasant Kunj, Dwarka, Rohini, Pitampura, Jasola, and more.

Available to HIG, MIG, and LIG buyers, the units will be sold via e-auction, with 67 car/scooter garages included. This move targets middle and lower-income groups, reflecting the government’s push for inclusive urban housing. At the same time, DDA has approved sweeping reforms to revitalize Delhi’s commercial real estate.

Key Highlights

• 177 flats across premium Delhi zones to be sold via e-auction under Housing Scheme 2025
• Amalgamation charges cut from 10 percent to 1 percent to boost commercial real estate development
• Narela to be developed as an education and sports hub with land use changes and bulk flat discounts

Most notably, it has slashed amalgamation charges for commercial plots from 10 percent to 1 percent of circle rates, making it more feasible for developers to consolidate plots and initiate large-scale commercial projects.

This reform aligns Delhi’s regulatory framework with NCR competitors like Gurugram and Noida, where lower development costs have drawn investments.

DDA’s statement emphasizes that the high amalgamation costs were a major deterrent for developers, leading to under-utilized commercial land and delayed infrastructure. The move is expected to unlock prime land parcels, enabling marquee developments and institutional investments.

The Authority also approved changes in land use in Narela to support the creation of an education hub, multi-sports stadium, and structured urban development. Discounts for bulk purchases of unsold flats by government agencies were also cleared.
