LG directs DDA, NBCC to fast-track East Delhi Hub, ensure timely handover

New Delhi, Nov 10 (UNI) Delhi Lieutenant Governor Taranjit Singh Sandhu on Tuesday directed the Delhi Development Authority (DDA) and executing agency National Buildings Construction Corporation Limited (NBCC) to expedite pending statutory clearances and ensure the timely completion and handover of the East Delhi Hub at Karkardooma, as he reviewed the progress of the ambitious urban development project nearing completion.
During an on-ground inspection of the 30-hectare Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) project, Sandhu took stock of the finishing works in residential towers, civic amenities and landscaped green spaces. He emphasised the need for close coordination between DDA and NBCC to remove bottlenecks and ensure that the remaining works were completed without further delay.
"East Delhi shall be a benchmark in sustainable, compact urban living. Delivery must match the vision," the Lieutenant Governor said, describing the development as an important step towards building a Viksit Dilli.
Accompanied by an area MLA and DDA Authority member OP Sharma, senior officials and engineers, Sandhu inspected the residential complex and reviewed the status of infrastructure and amenities ahead of the project's completion and handover.
Spread over approximately 30 hectares, the East Delhi Hub is being developed as an integrated urban centre combining premium housing, commercial establishments, civic facilities and green spaces, with an emphasis on walkability and public transport connectivity.
Under Phase-I, DDA launched its premium housing scheme, 'DDA Towering Heights', offering 1,026 premium two-bedroom apartments. The tallest residential tower rises 48 storeys, reaching approximately 155 metres, and is billed as the tallest residential building in Delhi.
The project enjoys direct proximity to the Karkardooma Interchange Metro Station, providing connectivity to both the Blue and Pink lines of the Delhi Metro. It is also linked to major road networks, including NH-9 and NH-24, while Anand Vihar Railway Station and the interstate bus terminal are located nearby.
The integrated development is designed around the Transit-Oriented Development model, which seeks to bring residential spaces, workplaces, public amenities and mass transit facilities closer together, encouraging public transport use and reducing dependence on private vehicles.
DDA has incorporated modern construction techniques, including Mivan shuttering technology for structural strength and high-grade gypsum plaster finishes, in the residential towers.
A major attraction of the project is its central green space, spread over around 20,000 square metres. The landscaped area will include a peripheral jogging track, children's play zone, open-air gym, multi-purpose cricket field and badminton courts, besides other recreational facilities.
The East Delhi Hub is among DDA's major urban development initiatives aimed at creating compact, sustainable and well-connected residential and commercial spaces in the capital. The project seeks to combine high-density housing with public transport infrastructure, recreational facilities and civic amenities within a single planned development.
Following the inspection, the LG stressed that the focus must now remain on translating the project's planned vision into a completed development, with all requisite clearances and finishing works addressed before its handover.UNI PWS AAB
