“The TMC will not be required to bear any cost. This is a project where the developer can recover the cost of affordable tenements from his saleable component. We would like the project to start before the end of February 2024 as it would take another 18 to 24 months for completion,” Bangar told HT on Thursday.
The affordable housing scheme tenements will get ₹1.5 lakh subsidy from the Centre and ₹1 lakh from the state government.
