Delhi Lieutenant Governor Taranjit Singh Sandhu has instructed the Delhi Development Authority (DDA) to create a detailed, time-bound strategy to develop Dwarka, Rohini, and Narela as decentralized economic and business hubs to attract both domestic and international investment. According to the proposal, Dwarka—developed by the DDA—is expected to emerge as a major investment destination, supported by coordinated efforts led by LG Sandhu, who also chairs the authority. Similar development initiatives are planned for Rohini and Narela.

During a recent meeting with senior DDA officials, Sandhu reviewed plans for transformative growth in these sub-cities. He highlighted several key drivers such as the operational Urban Extension Road, expanding metro connectivity, Transit-Oriented Development policy, upcoming education and diplomatic hubs, and large DDA land parcels ready for investment.

He emphasized the potential of positioning these areas as centers for non-polluting industries like IT, IT-enabled services, healthcare, global capability centers, and digital infrastructure. Improved connectivity with central Delhi and the airport also makes them suitable for data centers, semiconductor units, and warehousing, in line with the Master Plan.

The LG noted that such development would help attract investment that has been moving to other cities, generate employment, and strengthen the city’s economy in a sustainable manner. He directed the DDA to finalize a concrete action plan in consultation with all stakeholders at the earliest.
