Any construction, be it commercial, residential or other, will be a costly affair under the seven influence zones and special development areas (SDAs) which have been defined around the stations and the alignment of the Delhi-Meerut Regional Rapid Transit System (RRTS) project.
Officials of the Ghaziabad Development Authority (GDA) said that anyone taking up constructions in the SDAs or the influence zones along the RRTS corridor will have to pay up special cess which will be 25% over and above the regular development charges.
“The proposal for the special cess/charges has been discussed at the state government level and a notification will soon be issued. In Modinagar and Muradnagar, the authority charges ₹1,200 per square metres as development fee while it is ₹3,400 per square metres for the Ghaziabad city area.
