Delhi Development Authority Adopts Swiss Challenge Method for Transparent and Profitable Land Bids

This new system ensures faster finalisation, transparency, and maximises revenue, allowing original bidders to match the highest counter-bids and maintain competitive processes.

The Delhi Development Authority (DDA) is revolutionising its tender process by implementing a Swiss Challenge method, aiming to eliminate repeated disruptions caused by single bids.

This newly adopted strategy guarantees that land and high-value projects will generate revenue above the reserve price, providing transparency and maximising income for DDA.

Approved by Lieutenant Governor V K Saxena, the system ensures accelerated finalisation, enhances price discovery, and heightens competition, protecting against delays, cost escalations, and stalemates.
