Flats for sale in Vaishali Nagar Jaipur

MakaanIQ lists five real estate destinations that have a promising future.

Those planning to buy a flat or a plot close to the Metro corridor being built in Ghaziabad might have to pay a cess. The Uttar Pradesh Housing Board is mulling the idea of levying this cess to raise funds for the Ghaziabad Metro project, a part of the Phase-III of Delhi Metro’s extension.

The Mumbai Metro Line II is being constructed in two sub-phases with 18-km line 2A between Dahisar and DN Nagar; and the 23-km line 2B between DN Nagar and Mankhurd. Construction works begun in 2016 and the DMRC plans to open one part of this line (2A) for the public by 2020.

The Mumbai Metro has crossed 400-million ridership at a 12-km route between Versova- Andheri- Ghatkopar in a period of four years. Also, it has emerged as the only public transport infrastructure that witnessed an increase in passengers of up to 15 per cent annually. According to the data available with Mumbai Metro One, the network operates with around 378-382 trips on weekdays, with a punctuality performance of 99.9 per cent along what is the world's densest corridor. The route also connects the eastern and western suburbs via Andheri.

Rates of property in Ghaziabad are likely to go slightly up with the city development authority hiking development charges. The 3.03 per cent increase in the fee comes into effect from April 1 this year. Before the hike came into effect, developers had to pay Rs 3,024 per square metre (psm) as development charge. They will now be paying Rs 3,114 psm.
