DDA earned revenue of ₹1020 crore by selling 1284 flats in the first quarter of FY 2026-27. Narela sub-city contributed 90% to this sale. Infra projects like UER-II and Metro corridor have increased the demand for the area.
New Delhi [भारत]July 16 (ANI): As a result of Delhi Lieutenant Governor Taranjit Singh Sandhu’s continued focus on reimagining the sub-cities developed by the Delhi Development Authority (DDA), the authority has recorded strong housing sales in the first quarter of FY 2026-27. According to an official release, this is a clear indication of the growing public confidence in its housing schemes.
Driven by strong demand for housing across all categories, DDA sold 1,284 flats during the quarter, while earning revenue of Rs 1,020 crore. Sub-city Narela emerged as the biggest contributor to this success, where 1,153 flats were sold during the quarter, which is almost 90% of the total sales. This reflects the growing attractiveness of Narela as a preferred residential destination.
Demand increased due to infrastructure development
This growth is also being supported by DDA’s ongoing infrastructure development efforts, including key projects like the Urban Extension Road-II (UER-II) and the upcoming Rithala-Narela-Kundli Metro Corridor, which are significantly improving connectivity. DDA earned revenue of Rs 1,020 crore during the first quarter of FY 2026-27, a significant increase compared to the same period of FY 2025-26, when DDA earned revenue of Rs 462 crore.
Schemes for different income groups
The sale took place through DDA’s ongoing housing schemes, namely DDA Karmayogi Awas Yojana, DDA Nagrik Awas Yojana, and DDA Towering Heights, East Delhi Hub, Karkardooma (FCFS), which provide housing options across various income groups. These schemes have been extended till July 31, 2026 on a ‘first come first serve’ basis, and since the schemes are completely online, buyers can purchase flats from the comfort of their homes. These flats are freehold, ready-to-move-in, and sample flats are also available for buyers to make an informed decision.
Strong response seen in all segments
Excellent response was seen across all housing segments. During the quarter, 336 EWS, 322 LIG, 435 MIG and 191 HIG flats were sold. The release said the MIG category had the highest share at 34%. The EWS category in Narela was almost completely sold out, underscoring the strong confidence of people in the houses built by DDA and the demand for affordable housing in the area.
Reforms increased the success of DDA schemes
This encouraging quarterly performance is based on DDA’s record housing sales during FY 2025-26, in which a total of 11,764 flats were sold across various housing schemes. Notably, more than 90% of these sales were in the affordable housing segment. The continued success of DDA’s housing schemes has been driven by a series of institutional and people-centric reforms. DDA has launched multiple housing schemes simultaneously to meet the housing needs of different sections of the society, expanded access to affordable housing finance through multiple lending options, strengthened public support through digital platforms including dedicated helpdesks and WhatsApp chatbots, and intensified awareness and outreach initiatives to ensure that information about DDA’s housing schemes reaches potential home buyers across Delhi.
These measures have collectively enhanced the efficiency, transparency and accessibility of DDA’s housing delivery framework, making home ownership easier and more accessible. DDA is committed to providing quality and affordable housing through transparent, technology-driven and people-centric initiatives. Building on the strong response to its housing schemes, the authority will continue to introduce innovative policies, strengthen service delivery, enhance digital governance and contribute to the planned, inclusive and sustainable development of Delhi.
