We have received 22,750 applications for 1,354 flats. The draw of lots will be live streamed.

The planning authority is hopeful of finding many buyers for the 254 HIG in Jasola. “These are spacious flats, located on the Delhi-Noida border and well-connected to the rest of the city via Metro and other public transport systems. There is a dual piping system as the complex has its own sewage treatment plant. The most important thing is that each flat has two parking spots.
