DTC has submitted the layout plan for Shadipur staff housing society redevelopment to Delhi Urban Art Commission (DUAC), reviving a project stalled over two years due to bureaucratic delays.

The redevelopment is part of DTC's land monetisation initiative, alongside a similar project in Hari Nagar.

Delay was caused by non-formation of Municipal Corporation of Delhi's (MCD) standing committee, which holds financial powers and approves layout plans. The committee was not constituted for over 30 months.

Project details:

• Five high-rise residential towers on 6.898 acres
• 427 flats total plus 228 EWS (Economically Weaker Sections) flats, totaling 655 units
• Unit breakdown: 208 2BHK, 144 3BHK, 75 4BHK units
• Tower 1: 4BHK units, ground plus 30 floors
• Towers 2-5: ground plus 29 floors, 2BHK and 3BHK mix
• Two basements per tower for parking, separate parking block
• School building, clubhouse, commercial and retail spaces included
• Total estimated cost: ₹446.28 crore

Allocation: Most flats available for public sale; some reserved for DTC staff. Exact ratio, pricing and allotment method (auction, draw of lots, first-come-first-serve) not finalised. Pricing will match competitive real estate trends in the area.

Construction: NBCC Limited as contractor, responsible for marketing, construction and maintenance for two years post-completion, then handed to DTC. Profit portion to fund future society maintenance. Construction timeline: two years from contractor finalisation.

Background: Plan finalised five years ago; tenders floated last year but paused due to missing clearances. Part of 2020 MoU between Delhi government and NBCC for four projects: Shadipur redevelopment, Hari Nagar colony redevelopment, and multi-level bus depots in Hari Nagar and Vasant Vihar.

Bids have been invited to initiate structural repairs of Shadipur and Raja Garden flyovers. The Shadipur flyover was built in 1971.

Delhi’s Public Works Department (PWD) plans a Y-shaped flyover at the Terminal-1 intersection, where Dwarka Road and Ullan Batar Road meet near NSG headquarters. One arm would connect NSG headquarters to Mehram Nagar East; the other would lead towards Dwarka Road, bypassing traffic signals and separating local traffic from surface-level movement. The stretch carries 3,500–5,200 passenger car units (PCU) per hour on Ullan Batar Road, 300–4,500 PCU on Dwarka Road from the east junction, 2,500–3,500 PCU on the NH48 Gurugram side, and 1,000 PCU of local traffic. More than 150,000–200,000 vehicles cross it in 24 hours.

PWD has invited bids for feasibility studies for an approximately 8-km elevated road linking Rani Jhansi Road to Punjabi Bagh West Metro Station via Anand Parbat and Zakhira, and a 0.5-km underpass near Crown Plaza red light in Mayur Vihar. In April, minister Parvesh Verma said 18 flyover and corridor projects were at planning or feasibility stages. Proposals include congestion measures along 55 km of Mahatma Gandhi Marg on the Outer Ring Road; a 20-km corridor along the Western Yamuna Canal (Munak Canal); extending UER-II towards Narela Metro station; a 4-km intervention at Shadipur Depot and another at ITO; a 6-km corridor from Nanaksar Gurudwara T-point to the Delhi–Uttar Pradesh border in Tronica City; and a 2.20-km corridor from Zakhira crossing to Karampura flyover.

A pipeline leak created a pothole near Shadipur Flyover, affecting two lanes on Patel Road’s Pusa-to-Shadipur Flyover carriageway. The Delhi Traffic Police expected slow, congested traffic from 5:00 PM on April 7 until 8:00 AM on April 8, 2026, and advised commuters to avoid the stretch. For Kirti Nagar, motorists were directed to turn left at Pusa roundabout towards Todapur via Dev Prakash Shastri Marg, then proceed through Naraina. Civic agencies were working to repair the pipeline and restore normal traffic.

A 105 million gallons per day (MGD) water treatment plant is under construction at Chandrawal for ₹599 crore and is expected to be commissioned later in 2026. Approved in 2012, it faced years of delays after repeated tender cancellations and non-compliance with Japan International Cooperation Agency guidelines, contributing to a cost escalation of nearly ₹400 crore.

The plant will serve around 11% of Delhi’s population and cover approximately 92 square kilometres, or 6.20% of the city. Pipeline replacement and distribution works cost ₹1,331 crore; two of the West Chandrawal, East Chandrawal and Central Chandrawal projects have been awarded. Work across nine Assembly constituencies includes Karol Bagh, Civil Lines, Kamla Nagar, Malka Ganj, Shadipur, Patel Nagar, Shastri Nagar, Naraina, Zakhira, New Rajendra Nagar, Hindu Rao, Idgah, Jhandewalan, Ridge Road, Ramlila Ground and Subhash Park.

The project also includes strengthening underground reservoirs, installing water meters, preventing contamination and setting up grievance redressal centres. The target is to cut non-revenue water from 30–45% to below 15% within three years.
