Delhi’s new slum policy, approved by Union Home Minister Amit Shah, aims for large-scale redevelopment of informal settlements through public-private partnerships. The “Jahan Jhuggi Wahi Makan” initiative will provide permanent housing and essential civic infrastructure to an estimated four lakh families, with an extended eligibility cut-off of January 1, 2025. This ambitious urban renewal project seeks to unlock land value for financing and create integrated neighbourhoods.
