Salient Features of policy:
- Under this, 17 lakh houses will be developed in Delhi, including 5 lakh houses for the Economically Weaker Sections (EWS).
- Under the policy, an integrated sector-based planning approach will be followed. A sector of 250 to 300 hectares of land will be eligible to be developed once a minimum of 70% contiguous land within a sector is assembled.
- The Floor Area Ratio (FAR) has been reduced to 200 as opposed to 400 (which was initially proposed), keeping in mind the availability of resources for the development of a particular land.
- DDA will act only as the “facilitator and planner” and that the “development will be taken up by the developer entities or consortium”.
- Landowners having land of any size can participate in the policy. However, the minimum area required for taking up the development is two hectares.
