NDMC to redevelop iconic Super Bazar at Connaught Place

New Delhi, The New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) is planning to redevelop the iconic Super Bazar at Connaught Place, an official said.

The redevelopment proposal for the six-storey structure, a prominent landmark in the heart of the national capital, will be placed before the council in its forthcoming meeting.

"A final decision will be taken soon, though a timeline for the project has not yet been fixed. Once approved, the existing building will undergo a complete makeover," the official said.


Opened in 1966, the NDMC-run store was conceived as a government-backed retail outlet aimed at curbing inflation by selling subsidised goods.

Once a city landmark, it began to decline in the mid-1990s due to issues such as mismanagement and overstaffing, and eventually shut down in 2002.
