THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF URBAN DEVELOPMENT (SHRI AJAY MAKEN)
(a)to(d): The Delhi Development Authority (DDA) has informed
that due importance is given to the construction of houses for
middle class and poor people in Delhi. During the last five
years, out of the total 27522 houses constructed by it, 22819
houses (3979-Middle Income Group (MIG), 11100- Lower Income
Group (LIG) and 7740 Economically Weaker Section (EWS) related
to middle and lower income categories. Further 2250 houses
under MIG, 5100 houses under LIG and 21500 houses under EWS
category are at different stages of planning and construction at
present. With a view to constructing low cost dwelling units
for lower income group and economically weaker sections of the
society, the Master Plan of Delhi (MPD), 2021 provides that the
developers of group housing shall ensure that minimum 15% of FAR
or 35% of the dwelling units, whichever is more, are constructed
for Community-Service Personnel/EWS and lower income category.
Further, DDA`s pilot project at Tehkhand provides for allotment
of flats at reasonable rates to eligible slum dwellers, who
belong to economically weaker sections.
