Twin District Centres, Rohini (Sector 10)[edit]

Rohini is soon going to become a hub of commerce and entertainment. The Delhi Development Authority is planning to make Rohini into a fully integrated township. The DDA has planned twin district centres each spread over 33 hectares. The twin districts will have well-defined zones for retail malls, corporate offices, and cultural and entertainment zones like food courts, multiplexes and amphitheatre.
The centres will have metro connectivity (Rohini West and Rithala Metro Stations) and will be separated by a central green area of about 100 hectares made up of gardens, amusement park and leisure areas. In phase-I, plots for a shopping mall, two cineplexes, retail shops and offices will be auctioned. The urban design and landscape development planning of the project is being carried out by Vastushilpa Consultants.
The Commissioner (Land Disposal) of DDA, R.K. Singh, said: "The offer will spurt the commercial activities in Rohini thereby making it the complete township in the city." The twin district, he said, has well defined zones for different activities like retail malls, corporate offices, cultural and entertainment zones, with food courts, multiplexes and amphitheatre.
However, in the project, a large city park (The Japanese Park) between two parcels of district centres will provide the green belt and thereby increase the visual appeal of the project.
Also, there is a provision for multilevel parking. The DMRC will create multi-level parking which can accommodate about 550 cars at Rohini West Metro Station. Delhi Urban Art Commission (DUAC) has approved plans for multi level Car Parking at Sector 10, Rohini West Metro station at Commission's meeting held on January 25, 2012.
Another unique aspect of the project would be the emphasis on rainwater harvesting and solar energy system which will make the centre environment friendly. Also, waking up to the needs of the differently abled people at last, DDA would also be making some special arrangements for them in this project.
