# DDA opens booking for 2,516 flats in Narela at Rs 14.95 lakh 2026-10-19T12:18:03+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet The Delhi Development Authority (DDA) will open booking for 2,516 flats in Narela under its Awas Nivesh Yojana 2026 from Tuesday, 20 October. The scheme offers a 25% discount on Low Income Group (LIG) flats, with prices starting at Rs 14.95 lakh. The flats are located in sectors G2 to G6, with 1,020 in pocket 3 and 1,496 in pocket 6, each about 49.90 square metres including common area. Allocation will be on a first-come, first-served basis. Online booking opens at 12 noon on 20 October through the DDA housing portal. Applicants must deposit a booking amount of Rs 1 lakh and a one-time non-refundable registration fee of Rs 2,500. The DDA expects improved connectivity from the Rithala-Narela-Kundli metro corridor and proposed RRTS station, along with an education hub and sports complex, to boost residential demand in the area. ## Indian Opinion Analysis The discounted LIG flats target Delhi's lower-income buyers who have been priced out of the private market. By making the 14.95 lakh rate contingent on a 25% subsidy, the scheme caps the benefit to one income bracket and leaves middle-income groups unaddressed. The 'first come, first served' allocation and the non-refundable registration fee of Rs 2,500 will test genuine demand versus speculative booking. Connectivity improvements such as the Rithala-Narela-Kundli metro corridor remain proposed or under construction, so the area's long-term residential value depends on infrastructure delivery timelines that the DDA itself names as future prospects. ## Coverage - tv9hindi.com Leads with the discount price and frames the scheme as a golden opportunity, but reports DDA's timeline and conditions neutrally This brief was synthesised by AI from the source linked above.
