THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF HOUSING AND URBAN AFFAIRS
(SHRI KAUSHAL KISHORE)

(a)&(b) As on date, Delhi Development Authority (DDA) has not issued any license or granted approval to any housing project including Group Housing Societies under land policy in Land Pooling Zones. DDA has further informed that no proposal for housing projects as per the notified land policy has been received.

(c) to (f) No such data in respect of loans availed by Home buyers is maintained by DDA. Under the Land Pooling Policy, 70 % contiguous land in a Sector is necessarily required to be pooled for further action by DDA. So far, none of the Sectors has achieved this condition. To facilitate the implementation of Land Pooling Policy, the Ministry has allowed issuance of Provisional Notice for formation of Consortium, even where “contiguity” condition is not met. Accordingly, DDA has issued Provisional Notice for formation of Consortium in respect of 3 Sectors viz. Sector 2 and 3 in Zone P II and Sector 10A in Zone N. The portal inviting willingness to participate in land pooling has also been re-opened by DDA for the period upto 25.08.2022. These measures aim at facilitating the eligible participants in terms of the land policy and its regulations.
