The Delhi Development Authority (DDA) has reaffirmed its commitment to develop vacant private lands by issuing a fresh notice regarding its 2018 regulations. These regulations allow for the planned development of privately owned lands in the National Capital Territory of Delhi, provided they adhere to land use norms and Master Plan provisions. The DDA encourages landowners in its jurisdiction to seek building plan sanctions from local bodies such as the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) and the New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC). The initiative aims to facilitate the development of eligible private lands that have been vacant for years. DDA officials noted that approvals for development will only be granted after thorough scrutiny under applicable regulations. This year, two to three private land parcels have already received approvals under these regulations, indicating a positive response to the initiative.
