Lieutenant-Governor and Chairperson of the Delhi Development Authority (DDA) Taranjit Singh Sandhu has directed officials to prepare a comprehensive, time-bound plan to develop Dwarka into a major hub for domestic and international investment, officials said on Monday.

Semiconductor plants

According to DDA officials, the plan will explore opportunities to establish data centres, semiconductor plants, and warehousing facilities in Dwarka while promoting non-polluting sectors such as IT and IT-enabled services, health care, global capability centres, and digital infrastructure.

In a meeting chaired last week, Mr. Sandhu had asked senior DDA officials to discuss development strategies for the sub-cities of Dwarka, Rohini, and Narela in the Capital.

“With improved connectivity through the Urban Extension Road, metro expansion, transit-oriented development policy and proximity to the airport, these areas are well positioned to emerge as decentralised economic hubs,” a DDA official said.

The official added that projects such as Yashobhoomi, the upcoming diplomatic enclave and large investment-ready land parcels strengthen the potential of these regions.

Employment generation

“Such transformation will create investment opportunities, generate employment, and support sustainable urban growth in Delhi,” the official said, adding that stakeholders would be consulted before the action plan is finalised.
