The new Congress govt had formed three committees to fix the prices for auction and it has submitted a report to the govt.

Sources in the chief minister's office (CMO) said that there are at least two categories of prices" one for the middle-class and the other for builders/developers, who can buy incomplete towers, finish construction and sell them. Chief minister A Revanth Reddy is expected to take a decision soon on the auction prices.

A senior official in Rajiv Swagruha Corporation told TOI that 2,956 flats had been sold in previous auctions and there are another 760 flats up for sale in Rajiv Swagruha gated community townships at Pocharam and Bandlaguda near Nagole.
