DDA mega scheme to offer 14,000 flats

New Delhi: If you don’t find your name in Tuesday’s draw for allotment of 5,010 flats under the mega DDA scheme, don’t lose heart. The housing agency is readying an even bigger project which will put a whopping 14,000 flats on offer.
Having finally woken up to the acute housing shortage in the capital, DDA is now in the process of constructing flats for all three income groups — high, middle and low — in places like Vasant Kunj, Dwarka, Rohini, Jasola, Narela and Pitampura. Sources said the upcoming DDA project will deliver around 3,150 flats for the high-income group, around 770 for middle-income group, 8,000 for low-income and 2,000 for economically weaker sections.Close to 800 HIG and MIG apartments are also being constructed in localities like Pitampura, Mukherjee Nagar and Motia Khan.
The scheme, likely to be announced by 2010-end, will be another chance for people to own a house in the capital at rates cheaper than those offered by private builders.
