The funding will support the development of projects that adhere to modern construction practices and sustainability standards, ensuring that new housing developments meet high quality and environmental standards.

This initiative reflects a growing trend among real estate firms to invest in segments that cater to the needs of a larger demographic, thus playing a crucial role in shaping the future of urban living in India.
