Development work in E-12 Islamabad so far 60 per cent has been completed

The Capital Development Authority (CDA) in a press release that in E-12, overall, more than 60 percent of the development work has been completed so far.

“Completion of development work in Sector E-12 and other sectors is among the top priorities of the CDA administration. All available resources are being utilized for the early completion of the project,” the CDA chief said.

The sector was launched in 1989 but despite the passage of 37 years, its development work has not been completed.

Meanwhile, a large number of initial allottees of plots passed away during these 37 years. Besides other factors, adverse possession of land was the major reason.

However, CDA says that in a recent operation 1135 kanals was retrieved and now development work was on track.

“After the retrieval of 1135 kanals of Government land in Sector E-12 that had been pending for four decades, full-scale work on the sector’s development is underway.

Key Details

• Land Recovery: The milestone follows the retrieval of 1,135 kanals of government land in the sector.
• Sub-Sector Progress:
  • E-12/1: Triple service treatment (TST) is completed in 25 streets, and earthwork is underway in the remaining areas.
  • E-12/2: TST is completed in 25 streets, with ongoing earthwork and base work.
  • E-12/3: TST road construction is completed in 15 streets, with earthwork and base work continuing in others.
  • E-12/4: Earthwork is finished, and road base, sub-base, and drainage systems are in progress. Earthwork on the Service Road, Khayaban-e-Iqbal, has been completed, while earthwork on the South and East Service Roads has also been completed. Similarly, work on the base and drainage is also proceeding swiftly.
• Target: The CDA has set a goal to complete the remaining development work within six months, though complete plot readiness and handovers depend on subsequent stages.

The Capital Development Authority (CDA) has set a 6-month target to finish the remaining civil and infrastructure work in Sector E-12, aiming to clear the path for full plot handovers.

Current Possession Timeline & Status

• Target Completion Window: Following the recent recovery of 1,135 kanals of government land and reaching over 60% overall development completion, the CDA plans to wrap up remaining site works within the next six months (targeting mid-2027).
• Partial Handover Progress: Phased and partial possession has already commenced in parts of E-12/2 and E-12/3, where triple surface treatment (TST) and road base works are heavily concentrated.

Key Caveats for Allottees

• Utilities Pending: Formal physical possession permits immediate construction access in select finished zones, though full operational electricity, gas, and water connections across all sub-sectors still require subsequent institutional rollouts.
• Verification Required: Allottees are advised to cross-verify their specific plot numbers, clearance of development charges, and demarcation maps directly through the Capital Development Authority before starting construction.
