New Delhi: The Delhi Development Authority has now initiated the process of in situ slum rehabilitation, starting with inviting Requests For Proposal (RFP) to select a private partner for the redevelopment of the JJ cluster at the District Centre in Dilshad Garden through Public-Private Partnership.
The approximate number of slum households to be rehabilitated in this project is 3,367. The project area is 6.236 hectares and the indicative project cost is Rs 468.10 crore.
The eligible slum dwellers will be rehabilitated in 60 per cent of the land area and the project will be financed by the commercial exploitation of the remaining 40 per cent by the developer.
Each eligible slum dweller household will be provided with a dwelling unit of size approx 28 (+/-) 1.0 sqm carpet area. During the development phase, the dwellers will be provided rent support of Rs 6,000 per month to enable them to relocate temporarily.
In Dilshad Garden, 2,645 homes will be resettled across Kalandar Colony, Deepak Colony and Dilshad Vihar Colony. In Pitampura and Shalimar Bagh, 1,099 homes will be resettled across Ekta Camp AU Block Pitampura and AO Block Shalimar Bagh.
