The Delhi Development Authority (DDA) is set to initiate planning for at least 10 new Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) projects across Delhi. These projects aim to create high-density, mixed-use spaces that combine residential, commercial, and recreational areas within walking distance of transit hubs. The DDA is currently identifying suitable land parcels for these developments, which may be executed through public-private partnerships (PPP) or as independent housing schemes. Recent relaxations in TOD norms, including reduced minimum plot size requirements and increased permissible Floor Area Ratio (FAR), have made more land parcels eligible for development. A senior DDA official mentioned that a stakeholder consultation will be held soon to engage private developers and inform them about the relaxed norms and a new single-window clearance system that promises approvals within 60 days. This initiative aligns with a broader strategy to promote integrated urban development along mass transit networks, including the Delhi Metro and Regional Rapid Transit System (RRTS) corridors. The revised TOD policy also mandates a 60% share for affordable housing, ensuring that the developments cater to a diverse population.
