The scheme, which includes a 25 percent discount on housing units, will primarily benefit construction workers registered with the Delhi Building and Other Construction Workers Welfare Board (DBOCWWB), including those under the PM-Vishwakarma Scheme. Approximately 700 EWS flats in Narela (Sector G2) will be available, with additional housing opportunities in Siraspur, Loknayakpuram, and other areas. The scheme is open until March 31, 2025.

The DDA is also collaborating with financial institutions to offer on-the-spot financing options, making the housing more accessible to workers in industrial areas such as Narela, Bawana, and Bhorgarh.
