The Delhi Development Authority (DDA) will launch the online booking process for 2,516 Low Income Group (LIG) flats in Narela from Tuesday noon under the Awas Nivesh Yojana 2026, officials confirmed. The scheme offers a flat 25% discount on all units, making it one of the more accessible entry points for homeownership within Delhi's city limits.

Scheme Details and Pricing

The flats will be allotted on a First Come, First Serve (FCFS) basis through DDA's Awaas Portal. The units are spread across Pocket 3 and Pocket 6 of Sectors G2–G6, Narela — with 1,020 flats in Pocket 3 and 1,496 flats in Pocket 6. Each flat has an approximate plinth area of 49.90 square metres, inclusive of common areas.

After the 25% discount, the tentative price of flats in Pocket 3 stands at ₹15.01 lakh, while those in Pocket 6 are priced at ₹14.95 lakh. At these price points, the units are positioned well below the prevailing market rate for comparable housing in Delhi's periphery.

Why Narela Is Gaining Traction

Narela is increasingly being viewed as a strategic residential destination, backed by a pipeline of transport and civic infrastructure. Key planned assets include a Delhi Metro station on the Rithala–Narela–Kundli Metro Corridor, a proposed Narela Regional Rapid Transit System (RRTS) station, and road access via Urban Extension Road (UER)-I, UER-II, and GT Karnal Road.

The locality is also slated to host an Education Hub in Sectors G2–G6, where land has already been allotted to several universities. Sports infrastructure in the vicinity includes the Narela Sports Complex in Sector A-7 and a proposed Multi-Sports Integrated Stadium and Sports Complex. Green spaces and civic amenities are additionally being developed in and around the area.

How to Apply

The entire registration and booking process is being conducted online through DDA's Awaas Portal at https://eservices.dda.org.in. Officials stated this digital-only approach is intended to ensure transparency and convenience for applicants. Notably, the FCFS format means early applicants have a clear advantage — interested buyers are advised to register ahead of the noon launch window.

Broader Context

This scheme is part of DDA's ongoing effort to address Delhi's affordable housing deficit, particularly for lower-income groups who are otherwise priced out of formal real estate markets in the capital. Narela, located in north Delhi, has historically lagged in residential demand compared to central or south Delhi localities, but improving infrastructure connectivity is now repositioning it as a viable option. With flats available at under ₹15.01 lakh after discount, demand is expected to be high when bookings open Tuesday.
