LG Sandhu seeks DDA's plans to develop Dwarka, Narela, Rohini sub-cities as investment destinations

Lt Governor Taranjit Singh Sandhu, who is also chairman of the DDA, discussed modalities of developmental initiatives for Dwarka and signalled similar plans for Rohini and Narela. He directed the DDA to prepare a concrete, time-bound action plan in consultation with all stakeholders and to present future plans and projects for the sub-cities at the earliest. He highlighted attracting non-polluting IT/ITeS, healthcare, global capacity centres and digital infrastructure, and noted that better city connectivity, proximity to the airport and expanding road networks could help develop these sub-cities into hubs for data centres, semiconductor plants and warehousing in line with the Master Plan.

Officials noted that existing developments such as the operationalisation of the urban extension road, the extensive Metro network, the transit-oriented development policy, upcoming education hubs, and the evolution of Dwarka, Rohini and Narela sub-cities into major residential areas have made these locations suitable for development as decentralised economic hubs.
