DDA plans twin model sectors in Delhi

DDA
Delhi Development Authority has decided to develop two model sectors to promote its land-pooling policy. According to DDA vice-chairman Tarun Kapoor, the model sectors will encourage owners to come forward and aggregate their land.. As of now, DDA has received 1,300 paid registrations and 1,100 hectares of land has been pooled. However, the land parcels are scattered across different zones, making it difficult to carve out sectors with an area of about 200 hectares, as 70% of the land must be congruous according to the norms. There are plans to tweak the norms, and DDA is looking at three sectors, mainly - two in Kanjhawla, near Rohini, with 30% of aggregated land, and a sector will come up near Dwarka. The nodal agency is confident that once the model sectors come up, owners will flock to get their pooled land. DDA will develop roads, drainage, water pipelines, etc, as soon as a sector is marked. The unavailability of adequate water and other resources had forced DDA to decrease the initially planned FAR of 400 to 200 for areas to be developed under the land pooling scheme.
