-

NEW DELHI: Popularity, heritage value, job creation possibilit­ies and accessibil­ity will be some of the key parameters in selecting five markets for redevelopm­ent by the Delhi government as announced in the Rozgar Budget for 2022-23, officials said on Tuesday.

The first meeting of an eight-member committee was convened on Tuesday and the parameters for the selection of markets for redevelopm­ent were discussed, said Chamber of Trade and Industry (CTI) chairman Brijesh Goyal, who is a member of the panel.

The committee will submit its report to the Delhi government by May 20.

“While selecting five markets for redevelopm­ent, the panel will screen markets for their popularity, footfall, heritage value and accessibil­ity.

“We will also consider the market’s potential of generating additional jobs after the redevelopm­ent and also look for the possibilit­y of revenue generation,” Goyal, who was present in the meeting, said.

Only those markets which have applied on the government’s portal for redevelopm­ent will be considered for selection, he said, adding the second meeting of the committee will be held in a day or two.

Under the Delhi government’s project, markets will be beautified and civic amenities enhanced so that footfall increases as so does business, Goyal said.
