March 08, New Delhi - The Government of India is redeveloping seven aging government housing colonies in Delhi through an innovative self-financing model that requires no funding from the public treasury.
The project covers Sarojini Nagar, Netaji Nagar, Nauroji Nagar, Kasturba Nagar, Thyagraj Nagar, Sriniwaspuri, and Mohammadpur, which span approximately 537 acres.
The redevelopment will replace the old low-rise buildings with modern high-rise residential complexes, providing over 21,000 new flats along with upgraded infrastructure and public facilities.
Today, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will inaugurate 2,722 of these newly built flats and lay the foundation stone for 6,632 flats under the General Pool Residential Accommodation (GPRA) Redevelopment Plan.
