DDA’s Towering Heights: How to book a 2-BHK in Delhi’s tallest residential tower

The Delhi Development Authority (DDA) has launched the second phase of its ‘Towering Heights’ housing scheme offering two-bedroom flats at Karkardooma in East Delhi on a first-come-first-serve (FCFS) basis for individual buyers as well as government institutions.

The premium apartments are being built under the city’s first Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) project.

Under the “DDA Towering Heights at East Delhi Hub, Karkardooma Housing Scheme 2026”, a total of 741 two-BHK flats will be offered to individual buyers in what will be the capital’s tallest residential building. A total of 107 flats have been earmarked for bulk allotment to eligible government institutions, according to a circular issued on December 3.

The units are part of Delhi’s first TOD project, a mixed-use development planned around mass transit corridors to promote walkability, sustainability, and better urban mobility.

Applications from individual buyers will be accepted online through DDA’s Awaas Portal.

Registration and booking amount

A one-time registration fee of ₹2,500 will be charged for new applicants, while those already registered on the portal will not be required to pay it again.

The booking amount for each flat has been fixed at ₹4 lakh, which will be adjusted against the final disposal price in case of successful booking.

There will be no restriction on the number of flats an individual applicant can book under the retail category.

Allotment to individual buyers will be made strictly on an FCFS basis, subject to eligibility conditions and acceptance of the scheme’s terms and conditions, the DDA said.

Bulk purchase

Flats located in RH-02 Block towers (Pirpanjal, Vindhya, Shivalik and Satpura) have been reserved for bulk allotment to government institutions.

An application shall be treated as a bulk purchase if the requirement is for a minimum of 10 flats.

Institutions eligible for bulk purchase include central and state government ministries and departments, universities, public sector undertakings and autonomous bodies.

Applications under the bulk category will be processed on an FCFS basis, and priority will be determined by the date and time of receipt of complete applications.

The authority said it reserves the right to accept or reject applications, and the decision of the DDA vice-chairman will be final and binding.

The flats are currently under construction, with over 90% of the work completed. As a result, allottees will initially be required to pay 75% of the total disposal cost, with the remaining 25% payable upon completion.

Possession of the flats is expected in July 2026, the DDA said.

The tentative disposal price does not include maintenance charges, GST, conversion charges or water connection charges. GST will be applicable at the prevailing rate of 5%.

Key dates for applicants:

The scheme was launched on January 3, 2026.

The brochure will be available for download from January 8, registration will open the same day, and flat booking will commence on January 23, coinciding with Basant Panchami.

The scheme will remain open till March 31, 2026.
