The growing demand for residential real estate in Dehradun is being addressed by the Mussoorie Dehradun Development Authority (MDDA). In its 111th board meeting, the MDDA resolved to identify a land bank dedicated to upcoming residential projects. This decision comes in response to the city's rising population density and the success of previous initiatives such as the ISBT and Aamwala Tarla residential schemes.


To facilitate these developments, the MDDA has proposed a budget of INR 1,000 crore for the financial year 2025-26. This allocation underscores the authority's commitment to addressing the housing needs of the city's residents. The focus is particularly on providing affordable housing options for populations displaced by encroachment drives, ensuring that these communities have access to secure and sustainable living conditions.

In addition to residential projects, the MDDA is also reviewing ongoing initiatives, including the relocation of the Arhat market and the takeover of the ISBT. These projects aim to improve urban infrastructure and enhance the quality of life for Dehradun's residents. Furthermore, the authority is considering land pooling initiatives to support the establishment of IT companies and boost industrial growth, thereby contributing to the city's economic development.

By prioritizing affordable housing and infrastructure improvements, the authority aims to create a balanced and sustainable urban environment that meets the needs of its growing population. These initiatives not only address immediate housing demands but also lay the groundwork for long-term economic growth and community well-being.
