In a major festive development for home seekers across the National Capital Region, the Delhi Development Authority (DDA) has rolled out a highly attractive housing incentive on the occasion of Raksha Bandhan under its ongoing Citizen Housing Scheme. The public land and housing authority has officially announced a flat 25 percent direct price discount on High Income Group (HIG) and Middle Income Group (MIG) apartments located in the developing Narela sub-city of New Delhi. Under this promotional reduction, a luxury apartment originally valued at Rs 1.33 crore is now available to homebuyers for just Rs 1.09 crore. Responding directly to sustained public demand for quality government housing, the DDA has added 1,287 additional ready-to-move residential units across multiple sectors in Narela to this public allotment drive.
Flat 25 Percent Price Cut Announced on 1,287 Units in Narela
While private real estate developers frequently advertise promotional festive waivers, the single-stroke 25 percent price concession introduced by the DDA marks an unprecedented financial relief step in public sector housing schemes. According to official guidelines issued by the authority, the discounted apartments are situated across Narela Sector A1 to Sector A4, specifically spanning Pocket-3 and Pocket-4 as well as Pocket-2. Formal online bookings for these 1,287 units commenced on Friday, August 28, 2026, precisely at 12:00 PM. The allotment is structured strictly on a first-come, first-served mechanism, ensuring that prospective buyers who complete their registrations early secure immediate priority in selecting their preferred apartment location and floor layout.
Pocket-Wise Inventory Breakdown and Revised Pricing Details
The DDA has classified the 1,287 available residential units across four distinct price brackets, enabling buyers from different financial backgrounds to select homes tailored to their budgets
- Pocket-3 HIG Apartments: This pocket comprises 230 High Income Group residential units. Following the implementation of the 25 percent discount, the revised price per apartment stands at Rs 1 crore 96 thousand.
- Pocket-4 HIG Apartments: A total of 267 HIG flats have been introduced in Pocket-4, where the discounted price for an individual apartment is fixed at Rs 96.86 lakh.
- Pocket-3 MIG Apartments: For Middle Income Group applicants, Pocket-3 offers approximately 386 units, with each flat priced at around Rs 73.02 lakh.
- Pocket-2 MIG Apartments: An allotment of 404 MIG units is made available in Pocket-2, offered at a flat discounted price of Rs 73.71 lakh each.
Combined together, these four inventory pockets deliver 1,287 fully constructed homes, significantly widening housing access for middle-income and higher-income families looking to establish permanent residence in New Delhi.
Key Advantages of Freehold Titles and Ready to Move Status
All 1,287 apartments offered under this scheme are fully constructed and categorized as ready to move. This eliminates construction delays, developer defaults, and long waiting intervals commonly associated with under-construction housing projects. Buyers can complete the online booking, execute property registry formalities, and move in with their families immediately without experiencing rental overlap. Furthermore, the DDA confirmed that all properties feature freehold title ownership. Freehold status grants buyers absolute legal ownership of both the physical structure and the underlying land, simplifying future property resale, leasing, inheritance, and mortgage loan processing with financial institutions. To assist prospective buyers in assessing layout standards and construction quality before committing booking funds, sample flats have been opened for physical inspection at the Narela project site.
Digital Registration Workflow and Customer Support Helpline
To maintain complete transparency and eliminate manual intermediaries, the DDA has made the entire registration and flat booking process 100 percent digital. Interested citizens can complete their applications from anywhere by visiting the official web portals. The booking windows were opened on Friday, August 28, 2026, at 12:00 PM via the main DDA portal at www.dda.gov.in and the dedicated e-services platform at eservices.dda.org.in. Additionally, the authority has established a specialized customer helpline to address queries regarding eligibility criteria, payment schedules, site visits, and documentation requirements.
