Registrations opened on 18 September, with the entire auction managed through a digital platform that ensured equal opportunity, reduced delays, and set a benchmark for e-governance in real estate management.

The proceeds — totalling Rs 11.68 billion — will be channelled into new housing projects, urban infrastructure upgrades, and affordable home development. The funds will also support initiatives promoting inclusive growth and modernisation under the state’s housing and urban renewal agenda.
