For the first time, the DDA is offering MIG flats in Dwarka and Narela and HIG flats in Jasola, apart from LIG and EWS flats in Rohini, Narela, Siraspur and Loknayakpuram after the LG pursued the matter of disposal of unsold DDA housing inventory.
“The scheme will facilitate people to book a flat of their choice in a preferred locality and floor by paying a token booking amount. Besides, there is no condition of not owning any plot or house in Delhi for booking these flats thereby facilitating ownership of multiple houses by members of an extended family,” an official said.

Initially, nearly 5,000 flats will be offered for sale. More flats will be added according to demand.
“DDA has kept the cost of most of the EWS/ LIG flats at the same rate as prevailing at the time of the Special Housing Scheme, 2021, while the rest of the flats have been kept at the price offered at 2022-23,” an official said.
DDA has also decided to provide two options to residents of Signature View Apartments, Mukherjee Nagar, to speed up redevelopment. One option is to buy back flats for which DDA will pay back the cost of capital paid by allottees along with interest plus the stamp duty paid at the time of registration. “The other option is reconstruction of the flats via which DDA will provide newly built flats at the same place with the same specifications,” the official said.

DDA has fixed the Plinth Area rates (PAR) for construction cost of flats. It has also decided on a 10% (of rates of 2022-23) increase in rates for calculating conversion charges.
