The Delhi Development Authority’s 4,164 low-income group flats in Narela have been booked under the DDA Housing Investment Scheme 2026, with the second batch of 1,648 homes sold within an hour of bookings opening on October 29.
The second-phase bookings began at noon and covered additional flats in Pocket 1 of Sectors G-2 to G-6 in Narela. According to the DDA, the additional inventory was introduced to give more prospective buyers an opportunity to purchase a home in the scheme. All 1,648 flats were booked within an hour.
The first phase had offered 2,516 LIG flats. Those homes were booked within two hours of bookings opening on October 20, according to the report. With both phases now fully booked, all 4,164 flats offered under the scheme have been taken up.
The booking pace provides a clear indication of demand for DDA LIG flats in Narela, although the supplied report does not provide details of the number of applicants, the booking price, the payment schedule or the number of buyers who may later withdraw. It also does not specify the allotment timeline or the process that will follow the initial bookings.
The flats are located in Narela, an area that the DDA has identified as an important centre for Delhi’s future expansion. The authority’s development plans for the area extend beyond housing and include the potential growth of educational, institutional and sports facilities, according to the report.
Narela’s role in Delhi’s urban structure has consequently been framed by the DDA through two linked objectives: expanding the city’s housing supply and developing a larger planned urban centre. The rapid booking of the LIG homes places the area’s affordable housing demand in sharp focus, while the wider development plans indicate that the authority views Narela as more than a standalone residential location.
The booking response also reflects the significance of releasing additional housing inventory within an existing scheme. The second phase added 1,648 flats after the first 2,516 homes were booked quickly, but the additional supply was absorbed even faster. The report, however, does not state whether further flats will be added or whether another booking phase is planned.
The next steps for applicants, including allotment and other formalities, were not detailed in the supplied report. The DDA’s broader development work in Narela is expected to include housing along with educational, institutional and sports infrastructure as the area is developed as one of Delhi’s future growth centres.
