# DUSIB to hire adviser for 3 Delhi slum cluster redevelopment 2026-10-19T02:32:24+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 2 independent outlets The Delhi Urban Shelter Improvement Board (DUSIB) has started hiring a transaction adviser to assess rehabilitation plans for jhuggi-jhopri clusters in Seelampur, Lajpat Nagar and Sultanpuri. The adviser will study feasibility, secure approvals and help select a developer under a public-private partnership model. DUSIB plans to rehabilitate 4,870 jhuggis across the three locations, with Seelampur scheduled first. The request for proposal, issued on October 15, sets a 16-week completion timeline. Firms must be empanelled with the finance ministry's Panel A and have at least 10 years of existence. Evaluation will give 80% weightage to technical quality and 20% to cost. The Delhi Slum and Jhuggi Jhopri Rehabilitation and Relocation Policy, 2026, which adopts the PPP approach and extends eligibility to families in settlements as of January 1, 2025, is expected to be notified soon. ## Indian Opinion Analysis Both Hindustan Times and Economic Times report the DUSIB adviser move as a routine administrative step, and the coverage is uniform straight reporting. Hindustan Times provides more detail on the RFP terms, eligibility criteria and the 80-20 quality-cost evaluation, while Economic Times focuses on the feasibility study scope, land-value assessment and the fresh slum survey the Delhi government plans. Neither source adds government-critical or pro-government slant. The main difference is emphasis: Hindustan Times leads with the tender process, Economic Times leads with the broader redevelopment context. The balanced reading is that the appointment is early-stage, the next step is the notification of the 2026 slum rehabilitation policy, which both mention as pending. ## Coverage Coverage: 2 sources, 2 neutral - hindustantimes.com (neutral report) Straight procedural reporting on RFP and policy details - economictimes.indiatimes.com (neutral report) Straight forward reporting on feasibility and survey plans This brief was synthesised by AI from the 2 sources linked above, so one read covers every framing they carry.
