According to a statement released on Thursday, NBCC announced that it had entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Mahanagar Telephone Nigam Ltd (MTNL) to collaborate on developing this significant land parcel, which measures approximately 13.88 acres.

The project is expected to transform the land into a modern residential and commercial space, leveraging the expertise and resources of both organisations. The MoU, signed in the presence of K P Mahadevaswamy, CMD of NBCC, and A Robert J. Ravi, CMD of MTNL, reflects the commitment of both parties to the development project.

The project is planned to be carried out in phases over three years from the start date, with an emphasis on optimising both residential and commercial benefits.

MTNL is expected to provide the land free from encumbrances and assist with necessary regulatory approvals. Meanwhile, NBCC will manage the project, including tendering, construction, and post-construction activities. NBCC, primarily involved in project management consultancy and real estate, is set to handle the development of this project.
