On Monday, the Greater Noida Authority’s 108th Board Meeting took place. After the meeting, the Chief Executive Officer Devshish Panda said, “Greater Noida Authority has a debt of 6800 crores, hence no new project has been announced yet. At the same time, a very low budget allotment has been done for some special projects. A new scheme will be brought to improve financial position.

Not Increase the Allotment Rate of Plots: The Authority has not made any kind of increase in the allotment rate of plots of all categories. Given the status of the property market, the board has taken this decision. At the same time, the Authority has now decided to release contracts of more than one lakh rupees through e-tendering.
CEO Devishesh Panda said that according to the report prepared by the committee formed on the revision of the allotment rate, many schemes of the Authority have not been hit in the last one year. The reason for this was explained that the allotment rate is high and lower the market rate. After this, it has been decided to not increase the rate of any plot.
Initiatives for Transparency: Now, for the transparency in the functioning of the Authority and avoiding the allegations of tender of the fans, the contracts of more than one lakh rupees will now be given through e-tendering. CEO Panda told that contracts worth more than five lakh rupees have so far been given through e-tendering.
