The DDA has received about 50,000 applications for its new online housing scheme, with authorities Tuesday attributing the poor response to bulk of the flats being located in Narela area in outer Delhi, among other factors.
The deadline to apply for the Delhi Development Authority's online scheme 2019, which was launched in March, ended on June 10.
"As far as the number of applications received is concerned, we are getting data from different banks. We haven't arrived at the final figure yet, but the figure as of now is about 50,000," DDA's vice-chairman Tarun Kapoor said.
The scheme is for sale of nearly 18,000 newly built flats in Delhi's Vasant Kunj and Narela residential areas.
Asked about factors that could have led to poor response from people, Kapoor, said, "Bulk of out flats are located in Narela, which is an upcoming area in outer Delhi. So, that was one factor, perhaps."
The DDA had made available for inspection, sample flats across all categories at Vasant Kunj and Narela. These flats were "open for inspection to the public on all days, including Saturdays and Sundays from 10 am to 6 pm."
