Soaring Over Delhi: Hot-Air Balloon Rides to Launch at DDA Sites

The Delhi Development Authority plans to introduce hot-air balloon rides at four selected locations to boost tourism and revenue. These sites, Bansera, Asita, Yamuna Sports Complex, and the Commonwealth Games Village Sports Complex, offer unique experiences while opening opportunities for private operators through a tender process.

Delhi's skyline is set to get a new attraction with the introduction of hot-air balloon rides across the city. The Delhi Development Authority (DDA) plans to launch this recreational activity at four chosen locations: Bansera, Asita, Yamuna Sports Complex, and the Commonwealth Games Village Sports Complex.

The initiative aims to generate revenue and boost tourism in the area. A tender has been issued to invite private operators to manage these rides. The DDA will provide the necessary infrastructure on a revenue-sharing basis, with the conditions laid out for operation and advertising rights.

Baansera and Asita are particularly notable as part of the DDA's floodplain rejuvenation projects, adding to the attraction's appeal. The ballooning venture offers adventurous Delhiites an aerial view of the city's remarkable landscapes, ensuring an even broader outreach in the capital's tourism sector.
