DDA Opens Application Process for Transit Oriented Development Policy Projects
The Delhi Development Authority (DDA) has initiated the application process for developer entities to develop land under its revised Transit Oriented Development (TOD) policy. Covering 207 square kilometres around metro corridors and rapid rail stations, the policy allows mixed land use including affordable housing, offices, and guest accommodations. It streamlines approvals through a single-window online system, eliminating the need to approach multiple agencies separately, aiming to facilitate planned development and redevelopment along existing and proposed transit routes.
