The TOD policy aims to develop sustainable infrastructure and increase housing supply by allowing the construction of residential high-rises along metro and rail corridors. Over the next 10 years, it is expected to develop around 17 lakh dwelling units to accommodate Delhi's growing population.
The Delhi Development Authority (DDA) opened applications for developer entities for its Transit-Oriented Development policy in July of this year.
The corridor-based approach of the TOD policy opens up an area of 207 square kilometres, covering a 500-metre stretch on either side of Metro corridors and a 500-metre radius of RRTS or railway stations.
