Hey. SOme more insights. Another Rs 160 crore is projected from sale of corner and intermediate sites in developed layouts and around Rs 34 crore from the allotment of civic amenities sites. We will see how this pans out.
In the last couple years, the main contributor to revenue were the sale of sites. During 2015-16, it expected to get Rs 150 crore from the sale of 2,264 sites at RT Nagar and Lalithadri Nagar II Stage . While RT Nagar has 1,764 sites, Lalithadri Nagar at the foothills of Chamundi Hills has 500.
In 2014-15, it had targeted to garner Rs 486.70 crore, but ended up with Rs 341.42 crore. This could have made Muda commissioner S Palaiah projected a revenue generation of Rs 425.97 crore in 2015-16.
You know the poor generation of revenue is affecting developmental projects and the once cash-rich urban body is unable to spare money.
Also, In 2013-14, it failed in achieving the revenue generation target of Rs 540.96 crore.
This is when it changed the revenue generation model this fiscal, betting on sale of sites in developed layouts. But as of now, their fortunes do not look any bright. I think they are really in a tough place right now.
As against Rs 240.56-crore revenue expected from the sale of corner and intermediate sites in several developed layouts around the city, it could get only somewhere near Rs 93.91 crore. A total of 147 crore rupees less.
In 2014-15, it projected a revenue generation of Rs 132.95 crore from the sale of sites. At the end of the financial year, it earned Rs 4.48 crore as it was not been able to allot sites and generate revenue.
The urban body has for the third straight year cut the revenue target, which means it is in a lot of mess. Though it presented a surplus of Rs 2.71 crore, all is not well at MUDA at present. How are they gonna break out of this. We will ahve to see..
