Budget Builder floor for rent in Sector 50 Noida

In a move that would certainly speed up the construction process, the government is planning to mellow environmental regulations to push affordable housing projects. In a draft notification issued in mid-March, the environment ministry has proposed that projects spread in an area of 50,000 square metre (sqm) would not require green clearance. Under the existing rules, projects with a built-up area of up to 20,000 sqm do not have to apply for green clearance.

After Delhi, the illegal constructions in Gurgaon has come under the scanner of civic authorities as major drives are being conducted across the town to remove squatters and encroachments from the streets and the residential colonies. In a recent move, three enforcement teams from the Municipal Corporation of Gurgaon (MCG) removed illegal occupants from 11 areas in the city which includes Sadar Bazaar, Jacobpura, Rajiv Chowk, Sohna Road, Subhash Chowk, Tikri village, sectors 40, 44, 45, Silokhra and Sikanderpur. These encroachments were also causing congestion on arterial roads.

Lack of public transportation has for long had an impact on the property prices in Noida and Greater Noida. However, the upcoming Metro links will change the real estate landscape of these twin cities and boost property prices. Trial runs on the 30-kilometre Aqua Line in Noida will begin from April 15 — a route that will originate from Sector 71 and terminate at Delta Depot Station in Greater Noida. Many commercial markets in Noida as Sector 60, 61, 62, 63, SEZs and Noida-Greater Noida Expressway will witness real estate growth. Housing opportunities and rental demand are also set to rise in Noida.

The Mumbai's municipal authority is developing a software that will digitally calculate the metre reading and generate the bill accordingly. This move is expected to put a stop to inflated water bills for the residents. On the other hand, the Delhi government says it would compensate consumers in case of power outages.

In a move that is likely to help authorities meet the twin objectives of generating more revenues and equalising the differences in rates in various sectors, the Gurgaon district administration has hiked circle rates by up to 20 per cent, for the second time in two months. The revised circle rates come into effect from April 9. It was on February 12 when circles rates were revised in Gurgaon after a gap of four years.
