Hey pple, i would like to add my suggestions .. that as part of measures to improve land utilisation in the city, the urban development ministry is planning to redevelop government housing colonies such as Kidwai Nagar, RK Puram, Sarojini Nagar, Netaji Nagar, Lodhi Road and Moti Bagh, which are located on prime real estate along the Ring Road in south Delhi. The government is also planning to build high-rise residential and commercial buildings in these areas. In East KidwaiNagar, the National Buildings Construction Corp has started work to build around 4,700 new houses in high-rise buildings in place of the existing 2,200. NBCC also plans to develop 1 million sq ft of office space and about 400 homes, which will be leased to state-run firms, government departments, committees, tribunals and other authorities on a long-term basis.
Hi there, yes it’s absolutely true. With the expansions in the city in the recent years, industrial clusters such as Okhla Industrial Estate, Mayapuri, Naraina and Mohan Cooperative, which were in the outskirts when they were set up in the 1950s, '60s and '70s, are now surrounded by prime residential areas. DDA is now considering allowing group housing on about 20% of the land set aside for such clusters.
Mr Anup, these areas are no longer just industrial rite. Several of these old industrial estates now have business showrooms and offices, besides huge halls that are rented out for banquets and other social events. Like for example the Okhla Industrial Estate, one of the city’s oldest and spread over 109.52 acres in the south, houses offices of several multinational companies and law firms along with commercial halls.
