Want to buy a DDA flat in Vasant Kunj or Dwarka? Here's a housing scheme for you
Under the scheme, DDA is offering 177 High-Income Group (HIG), Middle-Income Group (MIG) and Low-Income Group (LIG) flats at prime locations like Vasant Kunj, Dwarka, Rohini, Pitampura, Jasola, and Ashoka Pahari, among others. The flats can be purchased through an e-auction. As many as 67 car and scooter garages are also on offer in high-end areas of the National Capital.
This is the fourth housing scheme launched by DDA this year. The last one was the Apna Ghar Awaas Yojana 2025, launched in May 2025, under which 7,500 flats came up for sale at Narela, Loknayak Puram, and Siraspur. The DDA offered a discount ranging from 15-25 per cent on these flats and made them open for sale on a first-come, first-serve basis.
The Authority also approved a discount scheme for bulk purchase of flats by central and state government departments, organisations, undertakings, autonomous bodies, and government universities. 'As per the approval, government agencies and universities purchasing a minimum of 10 flats will be eligible for the same discount currently offered to the general public under DDA's Apna Ghar Awaas Yojana 2025, i.e. 25% on LIG flats and 15% on MIG, HIG, and EWS flats in Narela,' a statement from the agency said.
This discount scheme for government organisations comes in the aftermath of DDA receiving a lukewarm response to its schemes launched at the beginning of the year – Sabka Ghar Awaas Yojana and Shramik Awaas Yojana – offering flats for purchase at heavily discounted prices in Narela to construction workers, autorickshaw drivers, and street vendors, among others.

Delhi gets its coolest address: Ice rink in Dwarka, balloon rides by the Yamuna
New Delhi is preparing for two new recreational additions — the capital's first international-standard ice skating rink and its debut hot air balloon rides — aiming to boost sports infrastructure and open up fresh leisure avenues for residents, reported TOI. The Delhi Development Authority (DDA) has finalised the implementing agency for a state-of-the-art ice rink at the Dwarka Sector 23 Sports Complex. The 4,200-square-metre facility, featuring a 60x30 metre rink, will be completed in six months.

'The initiative, conceptualised and being executed under the guidance of lieutenant governor VK Saxena, would serve the dual purpose of providing recreational avenues to the people of Delhi, besides creating a state-of-the-art infrastructure for the training of sports enthusiasts,' officials said. Located close to the Urban Extension Road, the site is easily accessible from the Dwarka Expressway junction and the airport tunnel connecting Dwarka Sector 21 with IGI Terminal 3. The executing agency has been allotted the land and the project will be developed on a licence-fee model for 15 years. The selected builder will complete the construction in partnership with international collaborators. Live Events Filling a sports infrastructure gap 'LG directed DDA to explore the possibility of creating such a facility in Delhi,' TOI quoted a DDA official as sayin. 'It was felt that spaces in the capital for enthusiasts to train and participate and for organisers to host events in these sporting activities were limited. Hence, the decision to create an ice skating rink.' The project also aims to promote ice-based sports such as skating, curling, ice hockey and figure skating, which have seen rising interest across India. It will also serve as a climate-controlled indoor recreational option during Delhi's long summer. A DDA official added, 'DDA is systematically transforming Dwarka into a modern, well-planned sub-city. It is being developed with a focus on infrastructure, connectivity, green spaces, sports and recreational facilities.' The Dwarka Sector 23 complex is one of three centres of excellence being developed by DDA. This centre will focus on football, hockey and ice skating. The Sector 8 facility, inaugurated in May, specialises in boxing, wrestling, weightlifting and taekwondo. Another centre in Sector 19, focusing on tennis and shooting, is under construction. Balloon rides on the Yamuna floodplain In a separate move, DDA has shortlisted an agency to operate hot air balloon rides at four locations on the Yamuna floodplain — Asita, Baansera, Yamuna Sports Complex, and CWG Village Sports Complex. This will mark the first time residents will be able to enjoy aerial views of the city through recreational balloon flights. The initiative adds a new dimension to the capital's leisure options and comes alongside the broader push to enhance Delhi's recreational infrastructure.

Delhi to have unified portal to issue licences to businesses
Delhi may soon get a unified application process and a single office with all departments under one roof for issuing licences to businesses, a move which will streamline business processes and improve 'ease of doing business' in the Capital, officials said on Saturday. Delhi lieutenant governor VK Saxena. (Vice-President of India-X) Lieutenant governor VK Saxena and chief minister Rekha Gupta jointly chaired a high-level review meeting to evaluate the progress of reforms on 'Ease of Living' and 'Ease of Doing Business' parameters on Saturday. The meeting comes in the wake of the Centre's directive urging states and union territories to expedite licensing reforms, officials said. The discussion focused on overhauling Delhi's complex licensing ecosystem with challenges such as fragmented databases, multiple authorities and burdensome fee structures that have long been a barrier to investment and a source of harassment for applicants. 'Initiatives like reducing the role of Delhi Police in granting licences in various categories, deemed permission by the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) for factory licence, authority of the revenue department for cinema hall licences, 24X7 opening of shops and establishments and allowing women to work in night shifts, would go a long way in creating a business friendly environment in the national capital,' said Saxena. Key measures on the table included empanelment of third-party auditors for fire safety clearances, simplification of regulatory processes and introduction of a common application form for clearances across departments. Officials also proposed linking data systems of departments like MCD, New Delhi Municipal Council, labour, GST, DPCC and FSSAI to reduce duplication and streamline governance. Officials also discussed developing a unified portal for all licences by taking data of Shop and Establishment Act as base data, officials said. 'This portal encompassing all licences will significantly reduce red tape. Discussions also included rationalising MCD zones to align with revenue districts and requiring local departmental officers to report directly to district magistrates,' an official said. One of the most striking reforms under consideration is the adoption of the 'Tripura model' of self-certification for small industries with investment up to ₹2 crore, and third-party certification for larger enterprises. The city is also looking at extending 24x7 operational permissions for shops and establishments, officials said. Gupta called on officials to fast-track the reforms, emphasising that multiple licensing authorities were a source of unnecessary public hardship. She also asked the chief secretary to explore creation of unified office complexes in each district to co-locate all relevant government departments for public convenience. 'The reforms being carried out under the Prime Minister's guidance will firmly position Delhi as a prime investment destination,' said Gupta, while the LG praised the Delhi government's initiatives to curtail outdated procedures and bring governance closer to the people.
