The Delhi Government is poised to give a major fillip to the capital’s tourism and residential rental market by gearing up to revive the Bed & Breakfast (B&B) scheme in 2025. This strategic move promises a win-win for property owners, real estate investors and tourism seekers alike—especially for those eyeing budget accommodation, homestays and short-stay rentals.

Introduction

Originally launched in 2007 under the capital’s tourism infrastructure plan, the scheme allowed homeowners in Delhi to register their homes as B&B units—offering home-like, affordable accommodation and meals to visitors.

By July 2023, the scheme had registered more than 2,200 rooms across 432 homes in Delhi. However, due to lack of publicity, competition from online rental platforms and certain regulatory gaps, the scheme gradually became defunct and was discontinued in 2024.

What is the scheme?

With the rise of short-stay platforms, changing traveller preferences and the urgent need to boost domestic tourism, the Delhi Government is studying the successful model from Goa’s “Homestay & Bed & Breakfast” policy to make the relaunch more robust.

Key aims:

• Simplified registration process and faster approvals.

• Quality classification of accommodations (for example, Gold and Silver categories).

• Promotional and marketing support via the tourism department.

• Considering financial incentives / grants along with non-fiscal perks for hosts.

Why is Delhi reviving the scheme now?

For homeowners:

• You now have a renewed opportunity to convert part of your residence into a short-stay accommodation unit, earning rental income from B&B operations.

• With simplified registration, less red-tape means faster turnaround from concept to earning.

• The classification & promotional support can help you get better occupancy, higher tariffs, and improved guest ratings.

For real estate investors/developers:

• This scheme adds a new layer of investment potential in residential properties located in tourism-friendly zones of Delhi.

• Properties near key tourist and business destinations may attract higher yield by converting 1–5 rooms under the scheme.

• With the government pushing local tourism and affordable home-stay options, demand for such short-stay units may increase.

• The scheme aligns with the broader trend of community-based tourism, creating alternative revenue streams beyond long-term leasing.

What does this mean for property owners & real estate investors?

• The scheme is currently being finalised and policy changes are expected to be announced soon.

• The earlier scheme required registration within 30 days; going forward the government aims to reduce approval and registration time.

• The definition of what constitutes a B&B unit may be refined (for example rooms in a house, attached bath, guest-minimum standards) just like Goa’s model.

• Though financial incentives are being considered, they are not yet officially confirmed for Delhi’s new version.

• Home-owners must ensure safety, hygiene, parking, security and guest-records compliance for registration under such schemes.

Key details to watch

The revival of the B&B scheme signals a pivot in Delhi’s real estate narrative: one that embraces short-stay rentals, home-based tourism income, and flexible living options. For emerging home-buyers and investors looking at sites like Delhi’s peripheral markets, zones near metro, airports or tourist circuits, this can mark a significant value-unlock opportunity:

• Lower entry cost + higher yield via B&B vs standard long-term tenancies.

• Increased footfall and occupancy potential in tourism friendly zones and neighbourhoods.

• The scheme encourages property owners to upgrade amenities and services—raising the profile of local residential clusters.

• For developers/realty firms like ours at The Fortune Realty Group (TFRG) this also means we can highlight B&B‐friendly properties, marketing them specifically to investors looking for short-stay income.

Why this matters for the Delhi real estate market

If you own a flat, independent villa, or a farmhouse/plot in Delhi (or nearby regions) and are exploring alternate rental models, now is the time to evaluate how the upcoming B&B scheme can be leveraged:

• Review your property’s suitability: number of rooms, attached bath, amenities, parking, compliance.

• Monitor the government’s final guidelines and registration process.

• Factor the scheme’s benefits into your investment decision: yield, occupancy, maintenance cost vs long-term leasing.

• Consider working with property­­-management firms (or realty experts) to convert your home into a branded B&B unit for added value.

With the Delhi Government re-launching this initiative, the short-stay accommodation segment is getting a formal boost — and early movers stand to benefit the most.
