February 09, 2024: The economically weaker section (EWS) housing component of Delhi’s first integrated transit-oriented development (TOD) hub at Karkardooma will be ready by February 28, 2024, according to media reports. It will comprise 498 flats across 22 floors and basement parking facilities. According to a TOI report, finishing work is in progress, which includes installation of lifts, laying of cables and tiling of common areas.
As cited in the media report, an official of the National Buildings Construction Corporation (NBCC) said they are working on an approach road to the EWS tower and sewer connectivity will be provided soon. The DDA is arranging for power supply through the BSES Yamuna Private Limited, he said. NBCC is the implementing agency for the project.
From February end, the Delhi Development Authority (DDA) will promote the project before initiating the allotment process for the general public.
Lieutenant governor VK Saxena recently reviewed the project’s progress. He said the Karkardooma ToD project has the potential to not only change the skyline of east Delhi but also bring about unprecedented socio-economic changes in the area. The hub aims at a seamless interplay of residential and commercial development in an extremely inclusive manner with EWS provisioning, he added.
Following a meeting with DDA officials in February 2023, the LG said efforts would be made to complete phase 1 of the project by March 2024.

In addition to the EWS tower, the complex will have a Residential Trapezium (RH) complex with 450 2BHK flats on 47 floors and two basements. The RH02 complex of smaller houses will comprise six towers with 10 floors each and three with 33 floors, with a total of 576 2BHK flats. The basement parking will have space for around 1,540 cars in phase 1. The DDA plans to develop 1,524 flats ready by March 2025.
The ToD will comprise a total of 6,518 residential flats, including 1,992 EWS residences. The cost of the entire project is Rs 1,168.5 crore.
