A vertical city like any other in the world
Anew New Delhi is in the making, inspired as much by Manhattan as by
Vancouver. The Master Plan 2021 for the capital is ready but doesn’t
seem to have too many takers. Will it spoil our city? While that is
debatable, the good news is that as the city’s skyline moves upwards,
realty prices might just head downwards, making real estate more
affordable in and around Delhi.

NEW DELHI: To facilitate public-private participation in real estate
development in Delhi, the Union Urban Development Ministry is
contemplating a single-window clearance system. This would be part of a
policy that would take into account aspects of structural safety while
regulating all activities of builders and protecting the interests of
the end-users.
According to the Union Minister of State for Urban Development, Ajay
Maken, the new Master Plan for Delhi-2021 having laid the foundation for
participation by private players in creation of housing stock, the
Government has now taken up a two-pronged approach to carry the move
forward.
A Real Estate Regulatory Authority Bill is being drafted to regulate all
stakeholders. "The Authority would act as a watchdog and protect the
interests of the buyers.''
The Authority would also ensure that fly-by-night operators do not enter
the scene and the housing needs of the Capital are addressed through
reputed and reliable builders.
The Government is also preparing a policy on private participation that
would decide on issues pertaining to land pooling as also development of
new areas.
