Cidco clears plan for 94,000 low-cost homes in Navi Mumbai

NAVI MUMBAI: Cidco board on Tuesday approved a Rs 19,000-crore plan to build 94,000 affordable houses/flats. It is probably the most houses to be built as part of PM Narendra Modi’s flagship housing for all by 2022 scheme, introduced on June 1, 2015.

Around 53,000 houses will be low income group (LIG) and the remaining economically weaker section (EWS) category.
The houses will be close to suburban railway stations, bus and truck terminals and construction will start after registration under RERA.

Meanwhile, Cidco board will take a call on inviting CM Devendra Fadnavis for the Metro test run for less that 2km in few days. It felt, sources said, that preliminary charging of the depot and other mandatory tests should be done first. The trial run, for which permission has to be sought from the commissioner of railway safety and other authorities, is scheduled in December. The Rs 3,063-crore Metro spans 11.1km, from Belapur to Pendhar.
