NEW DELHI: In a move that will meet to some extent the demand for bungalows in Lutyens’ Delhi, PM Narendra Modi is scheduled to inaugurate a complex with 184 large flats for MPs on Baba Kharak Singh Marg next week.
There is high demand for these flats among the lawmakers, sources said. The new complex has four towers (25-storey each with two levels of basement) and was completed in two years. Each flat, with a carpet area of around 5,000 sq feet, has five bedrooms, offices for the MP and their PA, and two rooms for helpers. Each room has an attached toilet.
“These flats have morespace than the Type-VIII bungalows which comprise the top category,” said a source.
Officials said Sam India Infrastructure, which had bagged the project, has not used bricks in the structures, employing RCC and aluminium stuttering for faster construction. “While the traditional construction method allows the roof to be laid in a period of 30-35 days, through this method, it can be done every 10-12 days. So, the construction period reduces significantly,” said an official.
The Central Public Works Department (CPWD) has implemented the project at an expenditure of around Rs 550 crore. The buildings have a shelf life of over 100 years. The two-level basement has the capacity to accommodate 500 cars. A community centre has also been built in the complex for lawmakers to hold social events. There will be four shops at the community centre to meet the requirements of MPs.
