DDAs land licensing model bags Rs 10,000 cr deal
New Delhi, Aug 16 (PTI) The Delhi Development Authority (DDA) has awarded the first project under its new Special License Property (SLP) initiative to Fleur Hotels, a subsidiary of Lemon Tree Hotels, officials said on Saturday. The project is expected to generate approximately Rs 10,000 crore over a 55-year period. 'DDA had invited bids through a Request for Proposal (RFP) issued on May 2, 2025, for a 2-acre land parcel in Nehru Place earmarked for a five-star hotel. The bidding process, conducted on August 13, saw Fleur Hotels secure the project with an annual license fee offer of Rs 27.19 crore, about 50 per cent higher than the reserve price of Rs 18 crore," DDA said in a statement. This marks a major shift in DDA's land disposal policy. Moving away from the traditional freehold and perpetual lease models, the SLP initiative allows long-term development on an annual license basis. Reforms set into motion last year by Lt Governor VK Saxena, have yielded spectacular results in terms of revenue generation for the DDA even while facilitating the much needed developments in the capital, the statement added. According to officials, the Rs 10,000-crore revenue estimate includes annual fee escalations over the 55-year license term. 'This new model is expected to significantly boost DDA's income, while facilitating key infrastructure development across hospitality, healthcare, logistics, and retail sectors," the statement added. The project awarded to Fleur Hotels will see the development of 'Aurika" at Nehru Place, one of Delhi's largest luxury hotels with over 500 rooms. Lemon Tree Hotels, which operates more than 110 properties in over 75 cities, plans to bring its upscale brand experience to the Capital through this venture.

After 45 years, Jayanagar Regional Transport Office shifts to Bengaluru's far south
Bengaluru: Bengaluru South RTO, widely known as Jayanagar RTO, has now found a new address in the far south of the city. The KA-05 RTO office is being shifted to Anjanapura on Kanakapura Road. It operated for nearly 45 years at Jayanagar — including 11 years from BMTC's TTMC building on rent. Built at a cost of Rs 11 crore, the new facility will house one of Bengaluru's busiest RTOs. Saturday, transport minister Ramalinga Reddy inaugurated the new building at Anjanapura near NICE Road.

The office is spacious, equipped with all required amenities, and will soon be shifted to the new location." Bengaluru South RTO, established in 1980, has remained one of the most popular RTOs in the city in terms of new vehicle registrations and revenue collection. The new office, spread across 38,793 square metres, is located at survey no. 64, Anjanapura, Uttarahalli Hobli. A senior transport department official said, "The South RTO earlier functioned from the BDA Complex in Jayanagar 4th Block before moving 11 years ago to the BMTC TTMC opposite it. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Is it better to shower in the morning or at night? Here's what a microbiologist says CNA Read More Undo Now, the office will shift to Anjanapura, where it will finally have its own facility." The official clarified that the move would not greatly affect citizens as most services—from applying for a learner's licence to registering new vehicles—are now done online. Driving licence tests are already conducted at the Jnanabharathi track. So there is no change in the process. He added that owning a building will save substantial rental costs for the department. Currently, 70 driving schools and 36 pollution testing centres operate in the Bengaluru South RTO's jurisdiction. In recent years, several RTOs in the city have been relocated to new premises. Bengaluru East RTO, earlier known as Indiranagar RTO, shifted to Kasturi Nagar; the Koramangala RTO, popularly called Central RTO, moved to HSR Layout; while Yelahanka RTO, once based at the BDA Complex in Yelahanka New Town, was relocated to the northern outskirts near Singanayakanahalli. Another official said, "In Bengaluru, old RTOs were functioning from BDA-owned complexes. Over the years, poor maintenance and lack of upgraded amenities caused inconvenience to people visiting the offices. Lack of adequate parking space also became an issue. Shifting RTOs to their own premises will save money for the transport department in the long run. RTOs play a crucial role in generating revenue for the state exchequer, but operating from rented buildings without proper facilities has long been a grievance.
