Delhi government is aiming to build 27,000 flats for economically weaker section (EWS) and low income group (LIG). According to a senior government official, the project is within the initial stage and is being written by the city Urban Shelter Improvement Board (DUISB). The proposal aims at creating 27,000 flats beneath Self Financing scheme (SFS) in Bhalswa and Savda Ghevra space of Mundka in west city.
As per sources, "We have known the land, that is in hand by the govt. homes are going to be created as per the supply of DUSIB Act. The project is beneath active thought," a senior official at DUSIB confirmed. As per a an official, town government is keen to accelerate the pace of providing reasonable homes to low and middle income group residents of town. The proposal are going to be tabled before the cabinet for any approval.
Hi , In my point of view, government is taking many initiatives to make buying dream home easy for everyone. Not only LIG, MIG & HIG people but also every human being who is earning money. DDA's plans include constructing EWS flats with prefab technology in Dwarka, Narela and Rohini and developing high-end apartments in Jasola, Narela, Bakkarwala and Sultangarhi. Thousands of two bedroom flats are also in the pipeline in Chilla, Dwarka, Sultangarhi and Narela.
Bigger, more ambitious housing schemes are coming up due to parcels of land identified by DDA through its latest survey conducted at the end of last year. Officials said they have identified 1,247 parcels totalling to 7,000 acres, several pockets of which will be has been planned to be developed as residential units.
Those who were lucky and got LIG flats in the 2014 draw said they were disappointed with the size. They alleged that the flats meant for Economically Weaker Section (EWS) category had been 'upgraded' with marbles and tiles.
As per my knowledge, thousands of 2-3 bedroom HIG and MIG flats are being constructed with better quality materials. The emphasis in the 2014 scheme was on providing maximum one room and one bedroom flats. However, for 2016 we are working to provide thousands of flats with two or more bedrooms and larger carpet area.
Hi Harilal, A few days after DDA announced a housing scheme larger than the one whose draw took place in November 2014, the authority has given details about where the 40,000 flats will be located. Start has already been made in providing high-end luxury flats in the form of 800 studio flats that are on offer at Bakkarwala, which have been furnished with Italian marble and polished granite.
Several applicants to the 2014 scheme had been unhappy over the location, size and quality of the flats with less than 5% 2-3 bedroom units being available. The December 2016 scheme will addresses this issue and 9,400 2-3 bedroom flats have been planned at Narela, apart from other locations like Dwarka, Rohini and Vasant Kunj.
