DDA-Compliant Platform Lifts in Delhi – A Smart, Accessible Solution by ShuttleSky Lifts
Delhi is home to thousands of older residential societies, DDA flats, and commercial complexes—many of which were built without elevators or accessible mobility solutions. With increasing demand for inclusive infrastructure, DDA-compliant platform lifts have emerged as a practical and legally compliant solution for Delhiites, especially in multi-storey buildings, CGHS societies, and DDA flats.
At ShuttleSky Lifts, we specialize in the planning, approval, and installation of DDA-compliant platform lifts across Delhi NCR, ensuring comfort, accessibility, and full legal compliance. DDA Lift Installation Requirements.
What is a DDA-Compliant Platform Lift?
In the context of Delhi, a “DDA-compliant” lift refers to a lift that follows the Delhi Development Authority’s safety, design, and construction norms for retrofit elevators in DDA buildings. A platform lift is a compact, low-speed lift designed to carry a wheelchair user (with or without attendant) between floors, often without the need for a traditional lift shaft.
These lifts are a great alternative where space or structure doesn’t allow a conventional lift.
