Please find below the latest updates as of today:

As you may be aware, the BJP has replaced AAP in Delhi. This political change has raised hopes among stakeholders involved in the Delhi Land Pooling initiative, as it is expected to resolve the earlier friction between the Delhi Government and the Centre. Since then, we have been engaging with ministers and DDA officials to help expedite the process.

We have met multiple times with Shri Yogender Chandolia (Member of Parliament, North-West Delhi), whose constituency includes the P2 zone. We briefed him on the current situation and what we expect from the Centre to move forward. During our initial meeting, he assured us that he would coordinate with the DDA and other relevant authorities. In a subsequent meeting, he informed us that officials are working on the matter and that visible progress should be expected in the next couple of months. Similar updates have been shared by various sources, indicating that work is underway on Delhi’s Master Plan and Land Pooling Policy, incorporating the suggestions received so far. These developments are likely to be tabled at the appropriate forums soon, and we have been told to anticipate tangible outcomes within 2–3 months.

Additionally, we were invited by the DDA to discuss the progress of Sector 7A on several occasions. In a meeting held a couple of weeks ago, we presented all necessary paperwork and maps highlighting the groundwork completed by the consortium to date. We emphasized that more landowners are likely to join the consortium once they see a positive and concrete response from the Centre. We also submitted proposals to reduce the sector size, which would help us surpass the 70% participation threshold. The officials appeared convinced and advised us to take the matter up with the Planning Department.

We have also been attempting to meet Smt. Kamaljeet Sehrawat (Member of Parliament, West Delhi). While her office has assured us of a meeting, the date and time are yet to be confirmed. We plan to approach the DDA Planning Department once this meeting has taken place. Efforts are also being made to establish contact with Shri Manohar Lal Khattar, Minister of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA).

We will appreciate any support from our members in any of the areas mentioned above.

As always, suggestions from members are welcome.
