A joint government-industry task force has presented a reform-focused report to the Delhi government to revamp the city's real estate sector. Major proposals include reducing the amalgamation fee for composite commercial projects from 10% to 1% of the circle rate and mandating redevelopment of buildings over 50 years old that fail structural audits. The report also suggests easing area norms for group housing, permitting more members in cooperative societies, and streamlining land use policies. The Delhi Development Authority (DDA) is urged to clarify charges on common areas and fast-track approvals for land amalgamation and layouts. To promote green construction, the task force recommends offering additional ground coverage and FAR incentives for green-certified projects. These reforms aim to simplify regulatory processes, improve transparency, and enhance investor confidence in Delhi's evolving real estate landscape.

One of the key proposals is a recommendation to cut the existing amalgamation fee for composite commercial projects from 10% to 1% of the relevant circle rate. Another is the suggestion to mandate redevelopment for all buildings that are over fifty years old and fail structural audit tests.
Besides this, the report also advocates relaxing norms of area in the event of group housing schemes to allow simplified land use and project development. Some of the other important recommendations are to modify rules so as to permit the admission of more members to cooperative societies as and when required, and to urge the Delhi Development Authority (DDA) to precisely delimit charges on common areas.
In order to speed up the development process, a quick-track system of approval has been suggested for land amalgamation, and layouts to be approved expeditiously by DDA's screening committee.
Finally, to encourage green construction, the taskforce suggests offering more incentives of ground coverage area and additional floor area ratio (FAR) to green building certified projects, encouraging green construction practices in the industry.
These suggested reforms together seek to create a more transparent, efficient, and investor-friendly real estate sector in Delhi that eliminates bureaucratic obstacles that have long bedeviled development.
