Rs 2,170 sft is new cost of flats in Haritha project
Visakhapatnam: VUDA has fixed a price of Rs 2,170 per sft for flats at the much-delayed Haritha housing project.
Though
the cost was fixed at Rs 1,790 per sft when the project was launched in
2008, delay in grounding the project had led to escalation of the cost
and VUDA has decided to collect the difference amount from the allottees. The project cost is estimated to have gone up by Rs 45 crore.
However,
to lessen the burden on the allottees, VUDA vice-chairman N. Yuvaraj
said that the interest amount paid by the bank on installments paid by
the allottees, since 2008, would be added to the principal amount and
the whole amount would be considered as payment so far against the units
allotted.
Now, the allottees have to pay the difference amount
between the principal amount with the interest so far and the enhanced
cost of the unit.
Thus, the allottees are relieved from huge
burden of payment. Yuvaraj said the resolution approved by the Board is
being communicated to the allottees.
Regarding the available
vacant 42 flats in Haritha, Yuvaraj said notification will be issued in
January, calling for applications.
The cost per sft would be Rs 2,600 for the 42 vacant flats. Four HIG units, 32 MIG units and six LIG units are vacant, he added.
The Board further approved for preparation of a detailed project report (DPR) on outer ring road to Visakhapatnam.
A
proposal to develop ORR starting from Payakaraopeta on the national
highway on southern side passing via Anakapalle, Relli in Kothavalasa
mandal, Vizianagaram is under consideration, in view of the increasing
importane of the city at international level under Transit Oriented
Growth Roads concept.
A proposal to take up preparation of the
coastal zone management plan (CZMP) has also been approved by the Board
and soon the process will begin.
