The Delhi Development Authority (DDA) in India has reportedly invited bids for the construction of nearly 10,500 flats across the city.

The projects to build new flats for economically weaker sections (EWS) will be implemented on a public private partnership (PPP) basis.

To recover the construction costs of the EWS housing, the contractor will have right to develop commercial space.

Plans for the project involves construction of 3,367 units in Dilshad Gardent, 1,116 dwelling units in Shalimar Bagh, 4,056 units in Rohini sectors 18, 19 and 20, and 1,800 units in Haiderpur.

According to the tender documents, the construction area for the EWS housing covers up on 65.75% of the land and the remaining will be used by the builder as a remunerative component.

About 499 clusters, out of 675 slum clusters in Delhi, are on Central government land that includes plots owned by the Northern Railways and the DDA.
