DSIIDC Initiates Steps to Register and Allot 4,350 Flats in Bawana

24 Jun 2024 CW Team

These flats, constructed between 2010 and 2011, were intended to address the housing needs of workers employed in the industrial areas of Bawana, Narela, and other nearby regions. Despite initial allotments and some units being taken over by the Delhi Urban Shelter Improvement Board (Dusib) for slum dwellers, a significant number remain vacant and have been subjected to theft and deterioration.

DSIIDC's initial attempt to sell 4,348 flats in 2022 was halted by RERA, which objected to the sale of unregistered properties. In response, DSIIDC is now engaging consultants to prepare and submit necessary site plans, drawings, and obtain non-objection certificates from various authorities including the Municipal Corporation of Delhi, Delhi Urban Art Commission, Delhi Fire Services, Delhi Jal Board, and the Delhi Development Authority. Additionally, occupancy certificates for the completed low-cost group housing industrial flats will be secured.

DSIIDC officials expressed optimism about the process, aiming to complete the necessary formalities within six months and subsequently attempt to sell these low-cost flats to industrial and business workers in the vicinity.

In a bid to prevent further deterioration and theft, DSIIDC is also taking measures to hire security guards for its housing projects across the city. Many of these flats, unoccupied and in varying stages of construction, are currently in a dilapidated state.

This initiative is part of a broader project under the Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission, wherein DSIIDC was tasked with building 34,260 low-cost houses in the early 21st century. To date, 17,660 units have been completed, with 16,600 remaining incomplete.

As DSIIDC moves forward with these steps, the successful registration and sale of these flats could provide much-needed housing for the industrial workforce and bring new life to the long-abandoned projects.

In response to objections raised by the Real Estate Regulatory Authority (RERA) regarding the sale of unregistered housing units, the Delhi State Industrial and Infrastructure Development Corporation (DSIIDC) has embarked on the process of completing formalities for approximately 4,350 unallotted and unoccupied flats in northwest Delhi's Bawana. These flats, constructed between 2010 and 2011, were intended to address the housing needs of workers employed in the industrial areas of Bawana, Narela, and other nearby regions.
