The Delhi Development Authority has revised the pricing structure of flats under its ongoing housing schemes by removing separate parking charges, leading to a reduction in flat prices ranging from INR 5 lakh to INR 12 lakh. Parking construction costs will now be included in the overall development cost and reflected in the plinth area rate. The decision applies to select MIG and HIG flats across four schemes. Buyers who have already paid parking charges will receive refunds or instalment adjustments.
The Delhi Development Authority has changed the way it prices flats in its ongoing housing schemes by ending the practice of charging separately for parking. This revision is expected to lower the overall cost of flats by around INR 5 lakh to INR 12 lakh, depending on the size of the parking space and the category of the flat. Advertisement
Under the new pricing method, the cost of constructing parking areas, both covered and uncovered, will be merged into the overall development cost of the project. This cost will be reflected in the plinth area rate (PAR), instead of being added as a separate component. As a result, buyers will no longer see an additional parking charge on top of the flat price.
The revised pricing applies to MIG and HIG flats offered under four ongoing schemes: DDA Karmayogi Awas Yojana 2025 (FCFS), DDA Towering Heights Karkardooma Housing Scheme 2025 (E-auction), DDA Nagrik Awas Yojana 2026 (FCFS) and DDA Towering Heights Karkardooma Housing Scheme 2026 (FCFS). These schemes include flats where parking spaces form a significant part of the overall cost.
Officials indicated that buyers who have already paid parking charges will not lose out. The amount paid towards parking will either be refunded or adjusted against future instalments, effectively reducing the total payable amount. For instance, HIG flats under the Karmayogi Awas Yojana, which typically include parking areas of around 11 square metres, may see a price reduction of close to INR 10 lakh. MIG flats under the same scheme are expected to become cheaper by about INR 4-5 lakh. In projects such as Towering Heights Karkardooma, where parking areas are larger, the reduction could go up to INR 12 lakh.
The move replaces the earlier pricing formula introduced last year, under which parking and garage construction costs were calculated separately and added to the disposal price. That structure had increased the effective cost of flats and was seen as a factor behind slower sales in some schemes. By integrating parking costs into the overall development expense, the authority aims to simplify pricing and make flats more affordable.
The revised policy does not apply to standalone garages or unallotted parking spaces after the completion of a scheme. It also does not change the pricing norms for EWS flats constructed by private developers, which will continue to follow existing guidelines.
