The Delhi Development Authority (DDA) has reported a significant surge in its housing revenue, more than doubling collections in the first quarter of the 2026-27 financial year. The authority generated ₹1,020 crore from housing sales, a 120% increase from the ₹462 crore recorded in the same period last fiscal year. This substantial growth follows the sale of 1,284 flats across various categories.
Narela Leads Sales Surge
Narela emerged as the primary driver of this impressive performance, with 1,153 flats sold in the area, constituting nearly 90% of the total sales. DDA officials attributed this success to ongoing efforts to develop and transform its sub-cities, under the guidance of Delhi Lieutenant Governor Taranjit Singh Sandhu. The strong demand across all housing segments is seen as a clear indicator of growing public confidence in DDA's housing schemes.
Connectivity Boosts Appeal
The increasing attractiveness of Narela is largely due to strategic infrastructure projects. Key developments include the Urban Extension Road-II (UER-II) and the upcoming Rithala-Narela-Kundli Metro corridor. These projects are expected to significantly enhance connectivity, making Narela a more desirable residential location.
The DDA currently offers several housing schemes designed to cater to different income groups, including the DDA Karmayogi Awaas Yojana, DDA Nagrik Awaas Yojana, and DDA Towering Heights in East Delhi.
Schemes Extended for Buyers
To further facilitate home purchases, the DDA has extended its housing schemes until July 31, 2026, operating on a first-come, first-served basis. Officials highlighted that the entirely online application process allows buyers to purchase flats conveniently from their homes.
During the first quarter, sales included 336 Economically Weaker Section (EWS) flats, 322 Low Income Group (LIG) flats, 435 Middle Income Group (MIG) flats, and 191 High Income Group (HIG) flats. The Middle Income Group segment accounted for the largest share of sales, representing 34% of the total.
