New Delhi: The Delhi Development Authority (DDA) has extended the booking period under the DDA Nagrik Awaas Yojana 2026 (FCFS) by another month. According to a DDA circular dated September 1, 2026 , prospective homebuyers can now book flats under the scheme until September 30, 2026 .
The extension covers both flats that were offered earlier under the scheme and the newly added flats in Narela . The DDA has advised prospective buyers to complete their booking at the earliest to avoid last-minute inconvenience.
The DDA Nagrik Awaas Yojana 2026 on a First Come First Serve (FCFS) basis was initially launched through a circular dated January 23, 2026 .
Under the scheme, DDA offered flats in different categories, including HIG, MIG, LIG and EWS flats in Narela , along with LIG flats in Siraspur .
The latest circular confirms that the booking window has now been extended up to September 30, 2026 .
DDA had expanded the scheme through another circular dated March 18, 2026 , under which 1,944 flats in Sector G-7/G-8, Narela were offered in addition to the flats already available under the scheme.
The booking for these flats commenced on March 27, 2026 .
The latest extension means eligible prospective buyers will get additional time to consider and book these previously offered flats.
DDA subsequently added another 1,183 flats to the Nagrik Awaas Yojana 2026.
The booking process for these newly added flats started on August 28, 2026 .
With the latest extension, buyers can continue to apply for both the previously offered flats and newly added Narela flats until September 30.

New Delhi: The Delhi Development Authority (DDA) has revised the number of additional flats being offered under its ongoing DDA Nagrik Awaas Yojana 2026 , with a total of 1,287 MIG and HIG flats now on offer in Narela.
The revision was issued through a corrigendum dated August 27, 2026 , partially modifying the earlier circular issued on August 18, 2026. The additional flats are located in Pocket 3 and Pocket 4, Sector A1-A4, Narela .
According to the revised DDA details, the 1,287 flats comprise both Middle Income Group (MIG) and Higher Income Group (HIG) categories.
| Location | Category | Flats | Area range | Price after 25% discount |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pocket 3, Sector A1-A4, Narela | MIG | 386 | 126.1–140.1 sq m | ₹73.02–₹81.12 lakh |
| Pocket 3, Sector A1-A4, Narela | HIG | 230 | 160.54–185.07 sq m | ₹100.96–₹116.39 lakh |
| Pocket 4, Sector A1-A4, Narela | MIG | 404 | 126.1–140.21 sq m | ₹73.71–₹81.96 lakh |
| Pocket 4, Sector A1-A4, Narela | HIG | 267 | 160.78–186.18 sq m | ₹96.86–₹112.16 lakh |
| Total | MIG + HIG | 1,287 | — | — |

The revised table in the corrigendum specifies 386 MIG and 230 HIG flats in Pocket 3 , while Pocket 4 has 404 MIG and 267 HIG flats .
DDA Nagrik Awaas Yojana 2026: 1,287 Flats in Narela, 25% Discount
One of the key attractions of the offering is the 25% discount reflected in the prices listed by the DDA. The detailed flat-wise schedule gives the discounted prices for individual units.
For example, HIG flats in Pocket 3 have areas broadly ranging from around 160.5 sq m to 185.1 sq m , with individual discounted prices running from about ₹1.01 crore to ₹1.16 crore , depending on the flat and its area.
The detailed list also shows that prices vary according to the flat size, floor and specific unit . Several HIG units have discounted prices of around ₹1.10 crore, while larger units are priced above ₹1.16 crore.
The MIG category offers comparatively lower-priced options. The detailed DDA schedule shows MIG flats with areas starting at around 126 sq m , while several larger units measure around 139–140 sq m .
In the detailed list, discounted prices include figures such as ₹73.02 lakh , ₹76.89 lakh , ₹80.77 lakh and ₹81.12 lakh , depending on the unit and its area.
Other MIG flats in the schedule are priced at around ₹77 lakh to ₹81 lakh after the 25% discount.
The DDA's flat-wise schedule contains details such as flat number, category, floor, total plinth area and discounted price .
For HIG flats, the schedule includes units spread across multiple floors, with several apartments measuring between approximately 175 sq m and 185 sq m .
Similarly, the MIG inventory includes flats across several floors, with sizes generally ranging from approximately 126 sq m to 140 sq m , depending on the block and unit.
The August 27 corrigendum makes it clear that the revised total number of flats under the August 18, 2026 circular is now 1,287 . The DDA said that all other terms and conditions of the original circular will remain unchanged .
The corrigendum was issued with the approval of the competent authority and includes the detailed list of the 1,287 flats .
Those interested in the DDA Nagrik Awaas Yojana 2026 Narela flats should check the official scheme's applicable terms and conditions before making an application or payment. The uploaded corrigendum only revises the number and corresponding details of the additional flats and states that the remaining conditions of the August 18 circular continue unchanged.
The detailed schedule should also be checked carefully for the specific flat number, floor, area and discounted price , as prices differ from one unit to another.
The sample MIG tower shown at the Narela site has a layout with eight flats on a floor .
The floor arrangement includes:
Four flats on one side
Four flats on the opposite side
Three lifts
Staircase
Common corridor
Garbage room near the residential units
The lifts are positioned towards the corner of the floor layout, with the residential units arranged around the corridor.
For buyers, this information can be useful because the position of the flat relative to the lift, staircase and garbage room can influence noise and privacy.
Before booking, buyers should check the exact floor plan of the flat they intend to select rather than relying only on a sample unit.
The Nagrik Awaas Yojana 2026 was launched as a discounted housing scheme.
Under the original January notification, DDA offered flats in Narela and Siraspur at a flat 25% discount across the applicable categories.
The latest 1,287-flat addition is being brought into the existing scheme on the applicable terms and conditions.
This makes the headline price considerably lower than the corresponding disposal price before the discount.
However, buyers should not treat the discounted flat price as the complete cost of ownership. Additional charges may apply under DDA's terms.
The newly added flats are scheduled to become available for booking from:
August 28, 2026, at 12 noon
Because the scheme follows the First Come, First Served system, buyers should complete the required registration and other formalities before attempting to book a preferred flat.
The FCFS system also means that availability can change quickly after booking opens.
The overall Nagrik Awaas Yojana 2026 has been extended up to:
August 31, 2026
DDA's official circular list records the July 31 circular as the extension of the Nagrik Awaas Yojana 2026 to August 31.
Therefore, buyers should distinguish between the two dates:
The DDA Nagrik Awaas Yojana 2026 is a housing scheme launched by the Delhi Development Authority to offer flats through the First Come, First Served model.
The original scheme notification was issued on January 23, 2026 .
At launch, DDA offered 1,301 flats in Narela comprising HIG, MIG, LIG and EWS units, along with 411 LIG flats in Siraspur . The original notification also specified a 25% discount and online registration and booking through the DDA Awaas Portal.
The inventory has subsequently been expanded through additional DDA circulars.
This is why older articles mentioning only the original January inventory no longer represent the latest position.
Several earlier updates about the scheme mentioned deadlines such as June 30 or July 31, 2026 .
Those dates should not be used as the current booking deadline.
DDA subsequently extended the scheme to August 31, 2026 , and later added another 1,287 flats in Narela through its August 18 circular.
| Date | Development |
| January 23, 2026 | Original Nagrik Awaas Yojana 2026 launched |
| January 24, 2026 | Registration scheduled to begin |
| January 28, 2026 | Original booking scheduled to begin |
| March 2026 | Additional Narela inventory introduced |
| June 2026 | Booking period extended |
| July 2026 | Booking period extended further |
| August 2026 | Scheme deadline extended to August 31 |
| August 18, 2026 | 1,287 additional Narela flats announced |
| August 28, 2026 | Booking for new inventory scheduled to begin |
| August 31, 2026 | Current scheme deadline |
This timeline is important because it prevents readers from confusing superseded deadlines with the latest DDA notification.
The Nagrik Awaas Yojana is a general DDA housing offering rather than a scheme restricted to one specific employment or beneficiary group.
However, applicants must satisfy the eligibility conditions and other requirements prescribed in the applicable scheme documents.
Before booking, applicants should verify:
Do not rely on eligibility summaries published on third-party websites alone. The latest DDA brochure and circular should be treated as the final authority.
The original Nagrik Awaas Yojana 2026 notification required a one-time non-refundable registration fee of ₹2,500 for onboarding on the DDA Awaas Portal.
Applicants who had already registered on the portal were not required to register again under the original notification.
For the latest booking, applicants should first check whether they already have an eligible DDA Awaas Portal registration before making another payment.
The original scheme notification prescribed the following booking amounts:
| Flat Category | Booking Amount |
| HIG | ₹10 lakh |
| MIG | ₹4 lakh |
| LIG | ₹1 lakh |
| EWS | ₹50,000 |
These figures come from the original January 2026 scheme notification.
For the newly added 1,287 flats, buyers should verify the applicable booking amount and payment instructions in the latest DDA circular and portal before making payment.
The booking process is conducted through DDA's online housing system.
Existing DDA Awaas Portal users should verify their login and registration status.
New applicants should complete the registration process and pay the applicable registration fee.
Use the official DDA housing portal rather than links shared through social media or unofficial websites.
Locate the Nagrik Awaas Yojana 2026 inventory available for booking.
Compare:
DDA's flat listings provide unit-level information, including locality, sector, pocket, block, flat number, floor, category, plinth area and carpet area.
Once a suitable flat is selected, make the payment through the official DDA system.
Keep the payment receipt, application details and booking acknowledgement for future reference.
One important point that buyers should understand is the difference between plinth area and carpet area .
The DDA flat lists provide both measurements for individual units.
The plinth area is generally larger than the carpet area because it can include areas attributable to walls and other components of the building.
Therefore, buyers should not compare a DDA flat's plinth area directly with a private builder's carpet-area advertisement.
For a meaningful comparison, buyers should look at the carpet area , layout and actual usability of the flat.
Within the newly added Narela inventory, Pocket IV deserves particular attention from buyers because of its connectivity and internal positioning.
The pocket has access through multiple entry and exit points and is located close to the road network connecting the residential development with the GT Karnal Highway and UER-1 corridor .
The proximity to UER-1 can be relevant for residents travelling towards other parts of Delhi. UER-2 is also an important connectivity corridor for people travelling towards Dwarka and IGI Airport .
Another factor is the availability of internal open and green spaces around the residential towers.
However, buyers should remember that a preferred pocket does not automatically make every flat within it equally desirable. Tower position, floor height, direction, view and balcony configuration should also be checked before booking.
One of the important differences between individual flats in Pocket IV is their orientation and external view .
Based on the tower arrangement described for the newly added inventory:
Block A: North- and south-facing options
Block B: East- and west-facing options, including internal/park-facing views
Block D: UER-1-facing options
Blocks E and F: HIG units towards the UER-1 side
Block G: East- and west-facing options, including park-facing units
There is no single best direction for every buyer.
South-facing flats may appeal to buyers who prefer stronger sunlight, while east-facing homes are often preferred for morning sunlight.
Park-facing flats may offer a more open internal view, whereas UER-1-facing flats may provide a road-facing outlook.
The actual experience can vary depending on the floor, surrounding buildings, balcony position and season .
Buyer tip: Do not select a flat solely by its facing. Check the actual flat number and official tower plan before booking because orientation and availability can vary by floor and unit.
The answer depends on whether the flat is being purchased for end use or investment .
One of the biggest mistakes buyers can make is treating the discounted price as the final acquisition cost.
Depending on the applicable DDA terms, buyers may have to account for additional expenses such as:
The exact applicable charges should be confirmed from DDA before payment.
FCFS can create urgency because inventory is allocated as buyers make bookings.
But FCFS should not mean "buy without checking."
Before booking a flat, buyers should ideally verify:
A few minutes spent checking the unit can be more valuable than simply trying to book the first available flat.
Yes. DDA's latest website information shows that the scheme has been extended up to August 31, 2026 .
DDA added 1,287 flats in Narela under the August 18, 2026 circular.
They are in Pocket III and Pocket IV, Sector A1-A4, Narela .
790 MIG flats.
497 HIG flats.
The Nagrik Awaas Yojana 2026 offers a 25% discount on the applicable disposal price under the scheme. The original launch notification confirms the 25% discount structure.
For the newly added inventory, the listed discounted prices start at approximately ₹73.02 lakh for MIG flats in Pocket III, based on the inventory details provided.
Booking is scheduled to begin on August 28, 2026, at 12 noon , according to the latest addition details.
The current extended deadline for the Nagrik Awaas Yojana 2026 is August 31, 2026 .
No. The scheme is being offered on a First Come, First Served (FCFS) basis.
The original scheme notification describes the ₹2,500 registration fee as one-time and non-refundable .
DDA publishes flat-level information including pocket, block, flat number, floor, category, plinth area and carpet area.
The DDA Nagrik Awaas Yojana 2026 has entered another important phase with the addition of 1,287 flats in Narela .
The latest inventory brings 790 MIG and 497 HIG flats to Pocket III and Pocket IV in Sector A1-A4. The flats are being offered under the scheme's 25% discount structure , while allotment continues on an FCFS basis .
For buyers interested specifically in these new units, August 28, 2026 is the key booking date, while August 31, 2026 is the current overall scheme deadline.
The biggest advantage of this update is the additional choice of DDA flats. However, buyers should look beyond the 25% discount and compare the actual flat price, carpet area, additional charges, location, connectivity and long-term usability before booking.
Most importantly, applicants should verify the latest information directly with DDA because the scheme has already undergone several extensions and inventory additions during 2026.
The notification has been signed by Chinmayee Chakravarty , Deputy Director (Coordination), Housing, Delhi Development Authority.
