Hey even I heard one more thing that the private builders would also offer EWS houses at Rs 2.67 lakh each to the beneficiaries. According to the affordable housing policy, they have to reserve 10% of the built-up area in their projects for the EWS category.
The Bhubaneswar Development Authority (BDA) would build around 2,500 EWS units at Shampur here under this plan. Also the Odisha State Housing Board (OSHB) would undertake two projects, one at Malipada (2,500 units) and another at Bidyadharpur (325 units) in Cuttack district soon.
Also the OUIDF would provide Rs 40 crore loan and Rs 18.75 crore grant, while the Centre would chip in with Rs 18.75 crore and Odisha government Rs 26.25 crore.
Hey heard that the state government had planed to build 5,300 affordable houses at the cost of Rs 5.4 lakh each and make those available to the economically weaker sections for Rs 2.69 lakh through three housing projects.
