The Housing Infrastructure Development Corporation (Hidco) plans to engage a consultant to prepare architectural design along with detailed estimate and bid documents to set up affordable housing of LIG and EWS category on about 7.6 acres in New Town.
Officials said that the authorities have been taking up work of various types of construction in New Town under the Smart City Mission project and that developing housing schemes is one of the features of a Smart City to cater to the need of affordable housing.
“The plan is to provide EWS and LIG housing in large numbers to become inclusive, vibrant and affordable to a large section of people for which an area has been earmarked in Action Area- IIC,” said an official.
