The Delhi Development Authority (DDA) has officially begun the preliminary stages of a major urban redevelopment initiative targeting 45 Jhuggi Jhopri (JJ) clusters across the city. These clusters, which house more than 21,000 families, occupy a total land area of approximately 135.74 acres. To manage the scale of the project, the DDA has organized these sites into 15 distinct project groups.

As a first step in the implementation process, the DDA has issued a call for bids to appoint three transaction advisers. The primary responsibility of these advisers will be to draft comprehensive feasibility reports for each of the 15 project groups. These reports are intended to determine the viability of the redevelopment plans before physical construction or relocation efforts begin. While the DDA has outlined the administrative framework for the project, specific details regarding the relocation timeline, the nature of the new housing, or the compensation packages for affected residents have not yet been disclosed by the authority. The project represents a significant shift in land use for these areas, though the long-term impact on the current residents remains a subject of administrative planning.
