NEW DELHI: The Delhi Development Authority (DDA) has commenced the second phase of the Jan Sadharan Awaas Yojana housing scheme, providing approximately 1,500 affordable flats in well-connected districts of the city, officials announced on Saturday.
Launched on November 7, the scheme targets the low-income group and economically weaker sections (EWS), with flats located in key areas like Shivaji Marg, Ramgarh Colony, Rohini, and Narela.
“All flats in Rohini, Ramgarh Colony, and Shivaji Marg were booked on the first day,” the DDA stated.
In the first 24 hours, over 1,000 flats were reserved, highlighting continued public enthusiasm and trust in the DDA’s affordable housing initiatives.
Lieutenant Governor V K Saxena reviewed the scheme’s progress and was pleased with its implementation, as well as the positive public response, according to the statement.
“He commended the DDA for its transparency, accessibility, and efficiency throughout the process, emphasizing the need to expand such initiatives to fulfill the housing aspirations of all societal segments,” the authority noted.
Phase II of the Jan Sadharan Awaas Yojana builds upon the success of Phase I, which set new standards in the DDA’s affordable housing segment.
Phase I, launched in September 2025, offered about 1,200 affordable flats in well-connected residential neighborhoods. The scheme saw all units booked on the first day, reflecting significant public demand and confidence in DDA’s housing programs.
These locations were strategically chosen to blend affordability with accessibility, ensuring residents enjoy improved connectivity, essential amenities, and planned urban infrastructure.
