The Delhi Development Authority will roll out a premium housing scheme by the end of August, offering about 250 flats across income categories and a mix of car and scooter garages via e-auction. Locations span prominent neighborhoods like Vasant Kunj, Dwarka, Pitampura, Jasola, Rohini, Jahangirpuri, Nand Nagri, Ashok Vihar, and Shalimar Bagh. Meanwhile, the ongoing Apna Ghar Awaas Yojana, which had been offering thousands of discounted flats across Narela, Loknayakpuram, and Siraspur, is being paused. The scheme also follows recent policy moves aimed at bolstering public trust in DDA's housing initiatives.
The Delhi Development Authority has confirmed that by the end of August, it will open its Premium Housing Scheme for public participation. Around 250 flats, accompanied by 16 car garages and 51 scooter garages, will go up for e-auction in several high-demand areas across the capital including Jahangirpuri, Nand Nagri, Pitampura, Ashok Vihar, Vasant Kunj, Jasola, Rohini, and Shalimar Bagh.
These flats span income brackets, featuring 39 units for high-income groups in Vasant Kunj, Jasola, and Dwarka; 48 for middle-income groups in Jahangirpuri, Nand Nagri, Dwarka, and Pitampura; and 22 for lower-income groups in Rohini. Additional categories include 66 flats under the EHS segment in Nasirpur, Dwarka, and two SFS category-II flats in Rohini and Shalimar Bagh.
Pricing varies significantly: HIG units range from INR 1.64 crore to INR 2.54 crore; MIG units from INR 60 lakh to INR 1.5 crore; LIG from INR 39 lakh to INR 54 lakh; EHS at INR 38.7 lakh; and SFS II at around INR 90 lakh to INR 1 crore-plus. Garages are priced between INR 3.17 lakh and INR 43 lakh, depending on type and location.
As this launch approaches, the existing Apna Ghar Awaas Yojana, which had been offering 7,500 discounted flats in areas like Narela, Loknayakpuram, and Siraspur, is being temporarily halted. The earlier scheme had provided substantial discounts around 25% for LIG units and about 15% for EWS, MIG, and HIG flats in select areas and had seen strong uptake, with 830 flats sold in a month in Narela alone.
These moves come on the heels of several buyer-friendly policy updates within the authority. Notably, DDA slashed amalgamation fees for commercial properties from 10% of the circle rate down to just 1%, and also lowered the auction multiplication factor from 2× to 1.5× the circle rate. These measures are aimed at encouraging commercial development and investment in Delhi, addressing long-standing concerns from developers. The authority further approved monthly rent compensation INR 50,000 for HIG occupants and INR 38,000 for MIG residents for those affected by reconstruction orders starting from January of this year.
