Delhi approves major policy changes to boost slum rehabilitation and affordable housing.

The Delhi Development Authority (DDA) has approved major changes to its slum rehabilitation policy under the "Jahan Jhuggi Wahin Makaan" scheme. Changes include increasing the Floor Area Ratio (FAR) to 500 for plots over 2,000 sqm, allowing at least 40% of the area for residential use, and combining redevelopment sites within a 5 km radius. These modifications aim to boost affordable housing and integrate slum dwellers into urban infrastructure. The proposal now awaits final approval from the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs.
