The Delhi Development Authority has awarded a redevelopment mandate worth INR 775.27 crore to NBCC (India) Limited for overhauling aging staff housing colonies in New Delhi, officials confirmed in the past week. The contracts, issued through separate memoranda of understanding, cover comprehensive redevelopment of staff quarters at Old Rajinder Nagar (valued at about INR 437.79 crore) and Safdarjung Development Area (about INR 337.48 crore). Under a self-sustainable model, part of the built-up area will be monetised to fund construction, and the balance space will be handed over to the DDA for staff accommodation. Current housing comprises 117 units at Old Rajinder Nagar and 152 units at Safdarjung. The redevelopment will involve master planning, detailed project preparation and execution, subject to approvals, with built-up areas estimated at roughly 99,635 sq metres and 65,925 sq metres respectively.
The Delhi Development Authority has entrusted NBCC (India) Limited with a redevelopment mandate valued at INR 775.27 crore for the comprehensive overhaul of staff housing colonies in the national capital, according to official filings and regulatory disclosures in the past week. The redevelopment contracts cover two prominent sites Old Rajinder Nagar (ORN) and the Safdarjung Development Area (SDA) both hosting ageing dwellings used as staff quarters. Advertisement
Under the project management consultancy model, NBCC will lead master planning, detailed project report preparation, statutory approvals, design, engineering and execution phases, officials said. The redevelopment initiatives are structured on a self-sustainable model, in which a portion of the newly developed built-up area will be monetised through sale or lease to fund construction costs. The remaining portion will be handed over to the DDA for staff housing use, aligning with public housing objectives.
At Old Rajinder Nagar, the redevelopment mandate, valued at approximately INR 437.79 crore (excluding GST), involves modernisation of about 117 dwelling units currently used as staff quarters. Preliminary estimates indicate that the proposed built-up area at this site will be around 99,635 sq metres, subject to final approval following detailed surveys and DPR submission. At the Safdarjung Development Area, the contract valued at about INR 337.48 crore covers 152 units, with an estimated built-up area of approximately 65,925 sq metres upon redevelopment.
The redevelopment addresses longstanding concerns over dilapidated housing stock in key residential colonies, in line with broader efforts to upgrade urban living infrastructure in the capital. Officials noted that both projects will comply with contemporary planning regulations and aim to provide improved amenities and infrastructure for DDA staff.
NBCC's role encompasses detailed urban planning, engineering design, construction oversight, quality audits and adherence to statutory norms. While specific project timelines have not been formally disclosed, authorities indicated that redevelopment works will proceed in phases once statutory clearances and detailed project parameters are finalised.
The redevelopment of DDA staff quarters represents a significant urban redevelopment effort focused on renewing obsolete housing fabric, optimising land use and delivering enhanced residential infrastructure in New Delhi, officials said.
