HISTORY & EVOLUTION OF DILSHAD GARDEN
• Dilshad Garden was initially considered unsuitable for development due to being flood-
prone and located on the east side of the Yamuna River.
• The area gained attention during Sanjay Gandhi's urban renewal plan in the 1970s
when slum dwellers from Old Delhi were resettled in colonies like Jahangirpuri and
Seelampur.
• Dilshad Garden was established as a cooperative housing society, offering hope to
residents of nearby slums like Seemapuri.
• The roots of Dilshad Garden trace back to the 1940s when a barrister named Diwan
Khem Chand acquired the land with the intention of creating a planned housing society
inspired by garden cities.
• Housing in General Finance (HGF) bought some plots but failed to develop them,
leading to the collapse of the company.
• Delhi Land and Finance (DLF) acquired a portion of the land and developed Dilshad
Colony in 1955, accommodating people who were asked to vacate their rented
accommodation in Old Delhi.
• In the 1980s, the DDA took over the remaining plots and developed Dilshad Garden
separately from Dilshad Colony.
• Dilshad Garden faced challenges such as flooding during the monsoons and required
efforts from residents to develop infrastructure through pooled funds.
• Dilshad Garden benefited from its strategic location, with good accessibility through
Grand Trunk Road and the nearby Metro line.
• The neighbourhood offers affordable real estate options, with lower prices compared to
the city average, making it attractive to budget-conscious homebuyers.
• The name Dilshad Garden is derived from the historical Dilshad Bagh, a Mughal
garden built during Emperor Akbar's reign, known for its serene and joyful atmosphere.
• Dilshad Garden has undergone a transformation from agricultural land to a planned
residential colony with essential infrastructure, amenities, and commercial
developments.

living conditions and quality of life for residents.
• Dilshad Garden continues to evolve as a bustling residential area within Delhi,

APPLICABILITY OF TRANSFERRABLE DEVELOPMENT RIHTS (TDR)

Transfer of Development Rights (TDR) is a policy mechanism used in urban planning and development to facilitate the transfer of development
potential from one area to another. TDR is typically applied in cases where the development rights of a particular property or area are transferred to
another location as a form of compensation.

Following are the identified TDR Receiving Areas and associated conditions for TDR utilization:-

1.Only plots of minimum 3000 sq.m., with direct access from minimum 18m RoW are eligible to receive TDR. Plotted housing shall not be eligible to
receive TDR.

2.TDR may be utilised up to a maximum of 10% of the permissible FAR for the same land use permissible on the plot.

3.Maximum TDR shall be 10% of the permissible FAR. Total FAR including TDR on a plot shall not exceed 500.

4.Implementation of transferable development rights (TDR) will further complement this approach by concentrating unutilised FAR from various
parts of the city within receiving zones/corridors that are strategic and have the required infrastructure.

As per the rules & regulations, TDR is applicable in our site at Dishad Garden, New Delhi.

CLIMATIC CONSIDERATIONS FOR DESIGN

• Orientation of the building with the larger face towards the North-South
direction reducing exposure of the building walls to sun radiation.
• Minimizes direct exposure to Summer sun while allowing access to Winter
sun, therefore improving comfort conditions and saving energy and thus
increasing efficiency.
• Proper shading of all windows and walls with extended eaves wherever
possible, which blocks the sun in Summer but allows entry of adequate
amount of sunlight in Winter.
• Well insulated walls and roofs made up of solid masonry is a must
requirement.
• Vegetation can be used to cut off hot breezes while providing shading from
sun.
Prevailing Wind Directions are from South West in the Summer Season and North • Fenestrations to take advantage of the wind direction (N, W, N-W, E) to
