In Delhi, land acquisition is governed by the Land Acquisition Act, 2013 and various state regulations. Acquiring land for residential or commercial use involves compliance with government rules. The Delhi Development Authority (DDA) plays a key role in planning and regulating land use in the city. Land ownership in Delhi is subject to various classifications, such as leasehold (land leased by the government for a specific period) or freehold (land owned outright without government control).
