Explore partnerships with developers, mobility operators and public agencies to secure retail, F&B and services positions within planned interchange ecosystems before tenant mixes and concession structures are finalized.
What to watch
- MoHUA notification of Master Plan Delhi 2047 and publication of implementation rules.
- DDA zoning, FAR, land-use and TOD regulations for the 500-metre influence zones.
- Inter-agency agreements involving DDA, DMRC, NCRTC, Indian Railways, ISBT operators and municipal bodies.
- Tender announcements for station redevelopment, retail podiums, public-realm works or commercial concessions.
- RRTS service expansion and ridership trends at Anand Vihar and Sarai Kale Khan.
- Rail, Metro and bus interchange redesigns that change passenger dwell time, station exits and retail visibility.
- Land acquisition, resettlement, environmental clearance or litigation developments affecting node delivery.
- Map existing and planned Metro, railway, ISBT and RRTS passenger flows at the three nodes, separating transfer passengers from destination footfall.
- Prioritize Anand Vihar-Karkardooma for early retailer scouting because of its multi-modal interchange potential and eastern Delhi-NCR catchment.
- Build small-format leasing pipelines for F&B, convenience, pharmacy, telecom, ATM/financial services, travel services, luggage, co-working and last-mile mobility operators.
- Track whether retail space is controlled by DDA, DMRC, Indian Railways, bus authorities or private TOD developers; leasing pathways and concession models will differ.
- Model cannibalization risk for nearby high-street and mall tenants, particularly around Kashmere Gate and Nizamuddin-Sarai Kale Khan.
- Prepare flexible store formats and short lease/concession options, as initial hub footfall may be transfer-led rather than discretionary-shopping-led.
