The Delhi Development Authority (DDA) on Thursday launched Phase II of its 2024 Sasta Ghar housing scheme offering over 2,600 affordable flats across various locations, including Narela, Rohini, Manglapuri (Dwarka), Siraspur and Loknayakpuram.

According to a statement, the authority said that the scheme has seen a tremendous response, with more than 600 flats sold in just a few hours on the first day.

“In Manglapuri (Dwarka) alone, all 191 EWS flats were sold out in the first few hours. The flats in Rohini are also getting sold out rapidly, while more than 200 EWS flats have already been sold in Narela,” it stated.

This initiative is a strong step by the DDA to address the rising demand for affordable housing in Delhi, the statement added.

Earlier, the authority had launched three housing schemes offering a variety of flats located at different places across the city catering to all categories of income groups, which was approved at the Authority meeting at Raj Niwas. 

According to proposals, DDA Sasta Ghar Housing Scheme 2024 will offer lower income group (LIG) and economically weaker sections (EWS) flats at discounted rates in Ramgarh Colony, Siraspur, Loknayakpuram, Rohini, and Narela through first come first serve (FCFS) mode, making housing more accessible and enabling a common man to own a house in Delhi for low income group. Under the scheme, around 34000 flats are to be offered, with starting price as low as approximately Rs. 11.5 lakh.

Under the General Housing scheme, flats of all categories including high income group (HIG), middle income group (MIG), LIG and EWS at different localities like Jasola, Loknayakpuram and Narelawill be offered at 2023 prices without any price escalation. The starting price of flats is approximately Rs. 29 lakh and around 5400 flats to be offered under this scheme.

DDA’s Dwarka Housing Scheme will offer MIG, HIG and higher category flats in Sector 14, 16B and 19B of Dwarka through an e-auction process.

This will provide an opportunity to people to own a house in the upscale area of Dwarka. About 173 flats are being offered under the scheme, with starting price of Rs. 128 lakh.
