DDA housing scheme: Prices of 41 flats revised by 20%

New Delhi: Delhi Development Authority (DDA) has revised the price of 41 flats under its recently launched housing scheme.

The new price will be applicable for a three-bedroom HIG category flat having a plinth area of 84.82 sq m in Shalimar Bagh which has now risen to Rs 46.50 lakh. The price of the flat was earlier printed as Rs 37.50 lakh in the brochure.

Similarly prices of 40 flats in Rohini's sectors 20 to 25 which are Type-A expandable houses having a plinth area of 35 sq m have been hiked to Rs 21.40 lakh from the erstwhile Rs 19.8 lakh as was printed.

The DDA has issued a corrigendum in the newspaper stating the revision in prices.

While the DDA is recieving a flack for the rivision in price within just 20 days of announcing the scheme, an official has said that the housing authority has "rectified a mistake". DDA also said that the prices of flats mentioned in the brochure are only tentative and has already been mentioned in the brochure.

The DDA in late August announced its much- awaited 'Housing Scheme 2014' - offering over 25,000 flats across various categories while scrapping the proposed plan to reserve 80 percent flats for the city-dwellers in it.

The new scheme offers flats ranging from Rs 7 lakh to Rs 1.2 crore across categories, viz - EWS, LIG, MIG, HIG, Janta flats and one-room apartments and was rolled out from September 1.
