23. THE ORIGIN AND DEVELOPMENT OF DWARKA
DDA started allocating plots to cooperative group housing societies from 1996-97.
The residential rates in Dwarka were stable from 1997 to 1999 due to the depression in the real
estate market, but it is picking up since 2000 with property rates at around Rs 1500/sq.ft in the
year 2004.
What made Dwarka a benighted place for so long?
In Gurgaon the land banks were created by developers in the 80s. After the DDA auctioned lands
in Dwarka in 1996-97, it saw developments which were in tune with time and world-class in
nature. Dwarka had accessibility problems. There were no takers for property in Dwarka also
because of lack of water supply, a non-existing public transport system and non-availability of a
link road to the main city, which acted as key dampeners.
But the tables have turned now. With improvement in infrastructure and the coming up of the
Metro rail, realty rates have almost doubled. The maximum rise in the property rates has been
observed in the sectors nearer to the Metro like sectors 9, 10, 11, 12, and 13.
Metro has been one of the major reasons for the increase in the property prices of Dwarka.
Wherever the Metro has reached, real estate prices have gone up. DDA gave DMRC Rs 320 crores
for construction of Metro in Dwarka.

24. PRESENT SCENARIO
Today, while marketing Dwarka, the real estate agents underline the sub-city’s
location and flaunt its easy connectivity with focal points of Delhi. The major highlights
being its connectivity with Indira Gandhi International Airport (1 km), Connaught
Place (18 kms), Dhaula Kuan (10 kms), India Gate (15 kms), Railway Station (23
kms), Inter-state Bus Terminus (25 kms), Delhi Cantt. Railway Station (5 kms) and its
direct link from NH-8 (Delhi-Jaipur Highway
On the commercial front too, Dwarka is witnessing lot of activity. The Vardhaman
Group is coming up with three malls of one-lakh square feet each in the area.
MAJOR ISSUES IN DEVELOPMENT OF DWARKA
But there have also been some major issues which need to be solved
as soon as possible.Residents in most DDA pockets have been hiring
private water tankers or using treated underground water for drinking
for the last eight years. DDA only supplies 3.5 MGD water, which is
highly insufficient.
Sector 20 was supposed to be created as a service sector, but all that
has come up there are shops and showrooms

26. ISSUES AND PROBLEMS
1. WATER SUPPLY
Water supply to the AFNOE Society is not from the MCD. Bore wells have been dug for the same which is
illegal and future problems could be faced.
2. LACK OF SPORTS GROUND
The society fails to cater to any kind of sports facilities like football, cricket etc.
3. PARKING PROBLEM
Lack of parking space for guests. Basement parking and surface parking is provided for the residents and
does not suffice for visitors.
4. NO MALLS OR CINEMPLEX IN THE VICINITY
The nearest multiplex is in janak puri which takes about 50 minutes to travel by public or own transport
due to traffic problems.
5. NO PROPER LIGHTING BEHIND GATE NO.2 ROAD LEADING TO
RAMPHAL CHOWK
The exit road leading to ramphal chowk lacks proper
street lighting which causes inconvenience to the
residents. AFNOE SOCIETY
