The Delhi Development Authority (DDA) has officially announced its latest Premium Housing Scheme for 2025, opening bids for a total of 177 apartments, spanning High-Income Group (HIG), Middle-Income Group (MIG), and Low-Income Group (LIG).
Prime Locations
These flats – with 67 adjoining car or scooter garages, – will be available through e-auctions across Delhi’s sought-after neighborhoods, including:
- Vasant Kunj
- Dwarka
- Rohini
- Pitampura
- Jasola
- Ashoka Pahari
Policy Boosts for Developers
The DDA meeting – chaired by LG V.K. Saxena – also approved reforms to stimulate commercial real estate development:
- Amalgamation charges slashed from 10% to 1% of circle rates.
- Auction multiplier on commercial properties reduced from 2× to 1.5× circle rates.
These changes aim to reverse the trend of developers shifting to Noida and Gurugram by lowering costs and simplifying regulatory hurdles.
Resident Relief & Urban Expansion
Additional measures include:
- Land-use changes in Narela to pave the way for an education hub and multi-sports complex.
- Bulk-purchase discounts for government bodies and universities acquiring flats in Narela.
What This Means for Buyers & Investors
- First-time buyers now have more e-auction options across all income groups.
- Investors & developers benefit from reduced commercial rates, making Delhi a more competitive region.
- Affected residents will receive financial relief during redevelopment transitions.
