NEW DELHI: Delhi Development Authority (DDA) is planning to remodel areas around Delhi Metro stations into commercial and residential hubs. This project would serve as a part of the authority’s Transit Oriented Development (TOD) policy. The project would be initiated at the busy metro stations of Mayur Vihar extension, Dwarka sec-21, Rohini sec-18, Mukundpur, Sarojini Nagar and INA. The project was initiated to curb traffic congestion and pollution on Delhi roads. ToI reported that the DDA board would soon be approving the final draft for the remodeling of the above mentioned metro areas.

Private developers would be employed for the development of the hubs and the construction would be in compliance with the guidelines laid out by DDA and Unified Traffic and Transportation Infrastructure (Planning and Engineering). The work is scheduled to commence as soon as the draft is approved by an authority meeting chaired by Anil Baijal, Delhi LG. The policy allows a high floor area ratio of 500 for development of areas around such nodes.
