In a recent development regarding the Amrapali projects, NBCC (India) Limited, a Navratna CPSE, has been granted an in-principle approval by the Greater Noida Authority for a 3.5 Floor Area Ratio (FAR). The projects, estimated at a value of around ₹10,000 crore, include Centurian Park (GH-05, Sector Tech Zone-IV, Greater Noida),  Golf Homes (GH-02, Sector-4, Greater Noida), Leisure Park (GH-01, Tech Zone-IV, Greater Noida), Leisure Valley (GH-02, Tech Zone-IV, Greater Noida), and Dream Valley (GH-09, Tech Zone-IV, Greater Noida), all located in the Tech Zone-IV sector of Greater Noida. In March 2023, the  Supreme Court asked NBCC to submit a proposal on the unused Floor Area Ratio which is the ratio between a building’s total constructed floor area and the land area. This additional FAR would allow NBCC to construct new dwellings on the unused land in the five projects, sell them and utilize the proceeds to pay off the embattled firm’s pending dues. Collectively, these projects span a total plot area of 305.59 acres, with 75.24 acres of vacant plot area now earmarked for development. The FAR development is set to encompass close to 1.6 Cr. Square Feet, offers a variety of unit types including 4BHK, 3BHK, and 2BHK units. The number of units per floor will vary, ranging from 4 to 8, with a total of 80 towers planned in these 5 projects. The built-up area is projected to reach around 2.23 Cr. Square Feet excluding basement area. On this occasion, K P Mahadevaswamy, CMD, NBCC said, “By diligently completing these projects, NBCC is not just constructing buildings, but fulfilling the dreams of thousands of homebuyers who have invested their hard-earned money and aspirations into these projects. Completion will provide them with their long-awaited homes, bringing stability and happiness to their lives.
