If you were planning to buy a DDJAY plot in Sohna's sectors near Gurugram, you've likely heard that the scheme is being phased out in the Gurugram area. Here's exactly what happened, which areas are affected, and where the remaining DDJAY-approved, RERA-registered plots are available at sub-₹50L prices.
What Is DDJAY — And Why Did Haryana Discontinue It Near Gurugram?
The Deen Dayal Jan Awas Yojana (DDJAY) was introduced by the Haryana Government to promote affordable plotted housing in urban and peri-urban areas. Under the scheme, private developers could get DTCP (Director, Town and Country Planning) licences to develop residential plots, with the government mandate that housing remain affordable for the lower and middle-income segments.
The scheme succeeded in creating supply of RERA-registered plot colonies near Gurugram — projects like Pareena Sector 14, Ireo Sector 4, JMS Mega City Sector 5, and LID Green Valley Sector 35 all came under DDJAY. However, as Gurugram's land prices rose sharply, DDJAY independent floors in these sectors began selling at ₹1.5 crore and above — far beyond the affordability range the scheme was designed for.
The Haryana TCP Department responded by discontinuing DDJAY in the Gurugram–Manesar Urban Complex and Faridabad Final Development Plan 2031. The April 2024 circular removed DDJAY from the zoning permissible in these urban complexes, meaning no new DDJAY licences can be issued in these areas and the scheme no longer applies to future developments there.
Which Areas Are Affected vs. Which Are Not
Affected (DDJAY discontinued):
- Gurugram–Manesar Urban Complex (all sectors in the FDP 2031 boundary)
- Sohna Sectors 1–36 (within or adjacent to Gurugram Urban Complex boundary)
- Faridabad districts covered by FDP 2031
Not affected (DDJAY still valid):
- District Nuh (Mewat) — including the NH-248A corridor south of Sohna town (Village Maroda and surrounding areas)
- Other Haryana districts outside the two discontinued urban complexes: Sonipat, Rohtak, Jhajjar, Panipat, Karnal, etc.
The distinction matters because most buyers searching for "DDJAY plots near Gurugram" or "DDJAY plots Sohna" were targeting Sohna sectors. Those options are now limited or unavailable for new launches. The NH-248A corridor in District Nuh — sometimes called "South of Sohna" or "Sohna Extension" — is a different administrative district and remains eligible for DDJAY-approved township development.

What Buyers Should Do Now
If you were planning a DDJAY plot purchase near Gurugram, here are your verified options as of September 2026:
- Check if the project you were considering is already RERA-registered: Existing RERA-registered DDJAY projects in Sohna sectors (Ireo, Pareena, JMS, LID) continue to sell their remaining inventory. The discontinuation affects new licences — registered projects can still complete and sell.
- Look at Nuh district on NH-248A: The Harmony is RERA-registered and DDJAY-approved in Nuh. It is 35 km from Gurugram on the same NH-248A highway. Entry price is ₹43L — significantly below Sohna sector prices.
- Verify RERA before any payment: Regardless of district or scheme, always verify RERA registration at harera.gov.in before booking. The Harmony's registration number is HRERA-PKL-NUH-967-2026 — verifiable online.
