New Delhi: The Delhi Development Authority (DDA) has launched a fresh housing scheme for middle-income families in the capital, offering 445 Middle Income Group (MIG) flats under the “DDA Khushhaal Pariwaar Yojana 2026”.
The scheme was introduced around the festival of Dhanteras. Registration began on 6 November, and bookings will open on 16 November 2026 through the DDA’s online Awaas Portal.
Where are the flats?
The 445 flats are spread across three locations in Delhi:
Narela (Sector A1–A4): 296 flats
Loknayakpuram: 132 flats
Jahangirpuri: 17 flats
Price and charges
Flats are priced at roughly ₹43 lakh to ₹1.1 crore, depending on size and location. The booking amount for an MIG flat is ₹4 lakh. A one-time, non-refundable registration fee of ₹2,500 applies. Applicants already registered on the DDA Awaas Portal do not need to register again.
What buyers should know
Prospective applicants should review the scheme conditions and flat details on the Awaas Portal before making any payment. Reports on the scheme do not specify the eligibility criteria, the allotment method or the closing date, so buyers should confirm these directly on the official DDA portal.
Why it matters
The launch comes as India’s housing market is expected to stay resilient into 2027, with demand increasingly selective. According to a 5 November report in The Federal, Maharashtra registration data analysed by Knight Frank India showed 12,690 property registrations in Mumbai in October 2026, up 9 per cent year on year. The same report cited ICRA projecting an 8–11 per cent rise in residential sales value across the top seven cities in FY27. Against a backdrop of premium-led growth, government-backed supply in the mid-income band offers an affordable, trusted option for first-time buyers and end-users.
