 How affordable plotted housing works

Want to own a residential plot in Haryana but worried about the cost? The Haryana government's Dayal Jan Awas Yojna (DDJAY) could offer an affordable, government-backed pathway to home ownership through plotted housing in tier-2, tier-3 and tier-4 cities.Aimed at low- and middle-income families, the scheme covers cities such as Gurugram, Sonipat, Panipat, Jhajjar, Rohtak and several others.Launched a decade ago, DDJAY provides regulatory and financial incentives to private developers to build low-rise residential colonies equipped with essential infrastructure such as roads, water supply and electricity. The developments are planned and inspected, offering homebuyers greater confidence in the quality and safety of the projects.Here are the key features of the scheme:

  • Affordable plots: Lot sizes typically range from 80 to 180 sq yards.
  • Full ownership rights: Purchasers receive the full ownership rights following registration
  • Low-rise development: Concentrate on plotted housing, not high-rise apartments
  • Government-approved: these projects are regulated by Haryana policies and are often registered with RERA.
  • Modern infrastructure: This includes roads and drainage, parks, and many other facilities.
  • Flexible construction: Homeowners are able to construct houses in accordance with accepted guidelines

The scheme was launched in 2016 by the Town and Country Planning Department and over a span of ten years, certain amendments have been made to the scheme:

  • Allotments and plots are being registered for new plots are in process at multiple locations.
  • Demand for goods and services has increased in places like Sohna, Sonipat, and Bahadurgarh
  • Private developers are taking part in the scheme.
