Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated several significant development projects in the capital on Friday, including 1,675 flats for residents of JJ clusters and the World Trade Centre at Nauroji Nagar.
At Swabhiman Apartments in Ashok Vihar, Modi personally handed over keys to eligible beneficiaries of the Economically Weaker Section (EWS) flats.
These flats were constructed under a central government scheme where beneficiaries pay a nominal contribution of ₹1.42 lakh and an additional ₹30,000 for five years of maintenance.
"For every ₹25 lakh spent on the construction of a flat by the central government, beneficiaries pay less than seven per cent of the cost," government officials highlighted.
The inauguration comes as part of a broader development push by the BJP-led central government ahead of the Delhi Assembly elections, slated for
February.
The Prime Minister also launched two key urban redevelopment initiatives: the World Trade Centre at Nauroji Nagar and the General Pool Residential Accommodation (GPRA) Type-II quarters at Sarojini Nagar.
The World Trade Centre project replaces over 600 decrepit quarters with modern commercial towers, offering approximately 34 lakh square feet of premium commercial space with advanced facilities. The government touted this project as a transformative step for the area.
The GPRA project provides state-of-the-art residential accommodations for government officials, furthering urban development in the national capital.
