The Bhubaneswar Development Authority (BDA) is preparing to launch its much-awaited Ekamra Residency project, a major housing initiative aimed at expanding quality residential options in the fast-growing Subudhipur area. The decision was finalised during the 151st Authority Meeting of the BDA, chaired by Krushna Chandra Mahapatra, Minister for Housing & Urban Development and Public Enterprises-cum-Chairman of the authority.

Ekamra Residency spans 7.36 acres and offers 416 two-bedroom and 288 three-bedroom apartments across three B+G+12 towers. Construction has already been completed and allotments will begin once final modalities are approved, Mahapatra confirmed.

“These projects will fulfil the ambition of people owning homes in the State Capital. The construction has already been completed,” the Minister said, underlining the government’s focus on accessible, high-quality urban housing.

The project includes a wide range of amenities such as a community hall, rooftop swimming pool, fitness centre, walking track, children’s play zone, commercial spaces, solar panel zone and landscaped open areas. It is supported by a 100-ft approach road and ample basement parking for both residents and visitors.

The meeting was attended by BMC Mayor Sulochana Das, Jatni Municipality Chairman Ananta Behera, Housing & Urban Development Principal Secretary Usha Padhee, RDC (Central Division) Guha Poonam Tapas Kumar, BDA Vice Chairman Chanchal Rana and other senior officials.

In addition to approving Ekamra Residency, the BDA cleared several key urban infrastructure proposals, including:

• Development of the CDP road from Sani Temple, Niladri Vihar, to DAV School Road, Sailashree Vihar • Construction of a 45-metre CDP road linking Guru Kelu Charan Park Square to Patia Railway Station • Development of the CDP road connecting Nuagaon–Kateni Road to the road passing through TP-08

The meeting concluded with a vote of thanks from Manas Ranjan Padhi, Secretary, BDA.
