Delhi's Great Makeover: PWD to Redevelop Seven Key Sites

The Public Works Department (PWD) has identified seven land parcels across Delhi for redevelopment and commercialization under the public-private partnership (PPP) model, aiming to optimize housing and land use.

The selected sites for redevelopment include Vikas Bhawan-1 (ITO), Timarpur, Gulabi Bagh, Kalyanvas, Probyn Road, Sindhora Khurd, Sindhora Kalan, and Bahapur. A PWD official mentioned, “The details of the land areas and the number of existing buildings at these locations have been shared with NBCC. Once we receive the PPP proposal from them, we will move forward with the project.”

The National Buildings Construction Corporation (NBCC), a government PSU, has previously undertaken large-scale housing redevelopment projects in Kidwai Nagar, Sarojini Nagar, Nauroji Nagar, and Kasturba Nagar. In North Delhi, Gulabi Bagh, Sindhora Kalan, and Sindhora Khurd collectively contain nearly 1,200 government quarters, while the Timarpur and Probyn Road colonies have 106 flats.

In East Delhi, the Kalyanvas site includes 70 Type-2 flats. Officials highlighted that many of these housing complexes are in deteriorating condition and will be redeveloped into modern, sustainable infrastructure.
