New Delhi, May 11 (BNP): Delhi Lieutenant Governor Taranjit Singh Sandhu has directed the Delhi Development Authority (DDA) to prepare a comprehensive and time-bound roadmap for transforming Dwarka, Rohini, and Narela into major investment and decentralised economic hubs of the national capital.
According to officials, Dwarka sub-city is being planned as a major destination for domestic and international investments in Information Technology (IT), IT-enabled Services (ITeS), digital infrastructure, and other non-polluting industries. Similar development initiatives are also being proposed for Rohini and Narela under the broader vision of balanced and sustainable urban growth.
During a recent high-level meeting with senior DDA officials, the Lieutenant Governor discussed various developmental initiatives aimed at bringing transformative changes to these sub-cities. He instructed officials to consult all stakeholders and submit a concrete action plan at the earliest.
Sandhu emphasised the need to explore opportunities for attracting IT companies, global capability centres, healthcare institutions, digital infrastructure industries, data centres, semiconductor plants, and warehousing facilities in these areas, in line with the provisions of the Delhi Master Plan.
Officials stated that the improved connectivity through the Urban Extension Road, expanding Metro network, transit-oriented development policy, upcoming educational hubs, and rapid residential growth have made Dwarka, Rohini, and Narela ideal locations for decentralised business and commercial development.
The Lieutenant Governor noted that the proposed transformation would not only attract large-scale investments but also create employment opportunities, boost revenue generation, reduce pressure on central Delhi, and promote sustainable urban development across the capital.
