BDA Plans Three Housing Projects

10 Apr 2025 CW Team

The Bhubaneswar Development Authority (BDA) is set to launch three new housing projects to boost affordable residential infrastructure in Odisha’s capital city. These initiatives are part of BDA’s ongoing efforts to meet the growing housing demand and promote organised urban development across its jurisdiction.

The upcoming projects will include one plotted development scheme and two multi-storey housing complexes. The plotted scheme will cater to individuals seeking to build custom homes, while the apartment-based developments aim to provide ready-to-move-in options for different income groups. Locations for these projects are strategically selected to ensure connectivity, civic amenities, and access to public services.

These ventures reflect the BDA’s commitment to planned urban growth, sustainability, and inclusive housing. By offering a mix of affordable and mid-range options, the authority seeks to accommodate Bhubaneswar’s expanding population while reducing pressure on unregulated housing.

The projects are also expected to stimulate local real estate activity and generate employment through construction and allied services. With detailed plans under finalisation, official announcements and application procedures will soon be rolled out, giving residents an opportunity to secure quality housing backed by a government agency.
