Established in 1957 under the Delhi Development Act, Delhi Development Authority (DDA) was founded with the vision to "promote and secure the development of Delhi." Over the decades, DDA has played a pivotal role in transforming the city into a dynamic urban hub, shaping its growth through comprehensive planning and development.
DDA is entrusted with key responsibilities including the planning, development, and construction of residential and commercial projects, efficient land management, land pooling, and strategic land disposal. With a focus on creating sustainable and inclusive urban spaces, DDA's initiatives have been instrumental in making Delhi home to over 11 million residents—an ever-growing number that underscores the city’s enduring appeal.
Our commitment is to ensure that Delhi continues to thrive as a vibrant metropolis, while addressing the evolving needs of its citizens through innovative planning, infrastructure development, and responsible urban governance.
