Delhi Development Authority Launches AI-Based Single-Window Building Approval System

The Delhi Development Authority (DDA) has launched an AI-driven single-window building approval system under its Online Building Permit System (OBPS) to streamline approvals and reduce corruption, delays, and public harassment. The platform enables submission of building plans, documents, and multiple no-objection certificates online, with features like automated plan scrutiny, geo-tagged inspections, real-time tracking, and digital approvals. The initiative follows directions from Delhi's Lieutenant Governor to improve ease of living and doing business, with periodic reviews planned.
