Srinagar Development Authority (S.D.A)

Housing Projects

As per the survey conducted the present housing shortage is of the order of 18750 housing units or plots and for additional population of eleven lacs for next twenty years the requirement for housing plots/units will be 37500 .In view of huge gap in demand and supply, the price of land has gone terribly high and the residents of the city especially the economically weaker sections, Low income groups and even the Middle Income Groups are unable to purchase the land in the open market. Besides the land purchased in the open market is undeveloped without any basic infrastructure like Roads, Drains, Water Supply, Electric Infrastructure and sanitation. The Supply and demand gap has also lead to encroachments on River and Nallah Banks and other state lands including green belts and water Bodies.

To ease the problem, the SDA has proposed acquisition of 32000 kanals of land in next twenty years at various identified place. In the first instance SDA is developing a major township at Rakh-Gund –Aksha.

Flatted Accommodation (Vertical Housing) Keeping in tune with the fast-changing urban landscape of Srinagar and mounting stress on its scarce land resources, SDA has embarked upon the ambitious initiative of exploring trans-formative and sustainable solution for affordable housing in the city by pioneering the concept of vertical colonies with integrated community facilities. What SDA strives to explore in this new initiative is to make people realize the dream of owning a secure, compact and affordable home in Srinagar and facilitate them to relocate with fast-changing housing needs without occupying as much land resources as the traditional houses do.
