MC commissioner calls meeting to resolve Manimajra land project issues
Chandigarh: Facing multiple queries and confusion over the municipal corporation's plan to dispose of its Manimajra land for a housing complex, municipal commissioner Amit Kumar will hold a high-level meeting on Monday. The meeting will include senior UT officials, including the Deputy Commissioner, Chief Engineer, and other concerned authorities, with the aim of clearing all hurdles and moving the project forward. The UT administration is yet to provide the collector rate for the Manimajra land. Also, new concerns have emerged, including the presence of high-tension wires at the site and the mandatory inclusion of a dedicated quota for economically weaker section (EWS) housing in the planned society. These issues require clear resolution before the project can move ahead. Since the MC must follow multiple procedures and ensure that essential services are in place at the site, the involvement of various UT departments is considered crucial. All these matters will be discussed at the meeting scheduled for Monday. Sources said while many of the issues fall under the MC's jurisdiction, several critical aspects like as power supply, road connectivity, and policy decisions related to auction terms, also require coordination with UT departments. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Here's A List Of Cheapest Steel Suppliers (See List) Steel Suppliers | search ads Search Now Undo The inclusion of EWS housing is a major policy matter under consideration. Officials are currently discussing what norms should apply to these units, including how they should be integrated and what specifications they must meet. Sources in the MC also said that although the deputy commissioner's office has shared property rates from nearby areas, it has not provided the collector rate for the specific land parcel in question. This rate is essential for initiating the auction process. "There is a clear directive from the central government that, in Chandigarh, the collector rate of the specific land must be used as the reserve price for disposal. We cannot rely on rates from adjoining areas," a source explained. The layout plan As per the approved zoning and layout plan, five residential pockets will be developed on a 7.7-acre plot in Manimajra. With the UT administration approving a floor area ratio (FAR) of two for the project, each housing pocket can go up to five storeys. In addition to the residential areas, the plan also includes space for a shopping complex, green zones, and reserved land. While recently approving the layout plan, the urban planning department noted that the layout of pocket number 6 has been revised based on the latest survey. The updated plan includes five group housing pockets, a convenient shopping area, green space, a playground, and a reserved area.

CHB back-pedals on Sector-53 housing scheme, to refund ₹7.5-crore application fee
The Chandigarh Housing Board still cannot seem to make up its mind about the long-delayed General Housing Scheme in Sector 53 — its only offering since 2016. After conducting a much-publicised demand survey, which received an enthusiastic response, the board has now decided to refund the nearly ₹7.5 crore collected from the hopeful applicants. The demand survey, which ended on March 3, saw 7,468 applicants vying for 372 flats across three categories — nearly 20 applicants per unit — reflecting a strong demand. To confirm their interest, the applicants had deposited ₹10,000 for High-Income Group (HIG) and Middle-Income Group (MIG) flats, and ₹5,000 for the Economically Weaker Section (EWS) flats. However, a sharp hike in the city's collector rates, which took effect from April 1, pushed the flat prices up by 35% to 40%, throwing the project into uncertainty. When the demand survey was conducted, just weeks before the new collector rates were implemented, the estimated cost of the three-bedroom, two-bedroom and two-bedroom EWS flats was ₹1.65 crore, ₹1.40 crore and ₹55 lakh, respectively. But under the new collector rates, the prices have risen to a staggering ₹2.29 crore for a three-bedroom flat, ₹1.97 crore for a two-bedroom flat and ₹73 lakh for an EWS flat, leaving officials pondering whether the interested applicants will still be willing to proceed at the higher prices. Subsequently, CHB CEO Ajay Chagti had said the matter will be placed before the Board of Directors to decide whether to go ahead with the scheme or conduct a fresh demand survey. But no meeting has been held since. Instead the board has simply decided to refund the application fee — leaving thousands of housing hopefuls in Chandigarh frustrated and disappointed. To make matters worse, there's no clarity on what comes next. A CHB official confirmed that UT chief secretary-cum-CHB chairman Rajeev Verma had approved the refunds. However, no decision has been taken on whether a fresh survey will be conducted or whether the scheme will proceed at all. Ironically, the demand survey itself was ordered by the UT chief secretary to establish demand for the project. But a call to conduct a fresh demand has never been taken even two months after the hiked collector rates were enforced. Scrapped, revived, on hold again The whopping 7,468 applications are in stark contrast to only 178 applications for 492 flats when the scheme was first floated in 2018. The low response, primarily due to steep prices, had ultimately led to the scheme getting dropped. Back then, the three-bedroom flat was offered for as high as ₹1.8 crore, two-bedroom flat for ₹1.5 crore and one-bedroom flat for ₹95 lakh. Struggling to justify its existence, the board revived the scheme in February 2023 with lower prices. However, former UT administrator Banwarilal Purohit put the scheme on hold on August 3, 2023, citing there was no requirement for it. But Purohit's successor Gulab Chand Kataria, in November 2024, revived the scheme, prompting a fresh demand survey. Established in 1976, with the primary objective of providing reasonably priced and good quality housing in Chandigarh, CHB had last successfully rolled out a housing scheme in 2016, when it had offered 200 two-bedroom flats in Sector 51 for ₹69 lakh each.

RBI lowers inflation forecast, but retains growth forecast
The Reserve Bank of India has lowered the consumer inflation target for FY'26 inflation target to 3.7% from 4% made in its April statement. But has retained its April growth forecast at 6.5% ' The inflation outlook for the year is being revised downwards from the earlier forecast of 4.0 per cent to 3.7 per cent' RBI governor, Sanjay Malhotra said in his policy statement on Friday .' Growth, on the other hand, remains lower than our aspirations amidst challenging global environment and heightened uncertainty. CPI inflation in the June quarter is forecast at 2.9 per cent; at 3.4 per cent for the September quarter; 3.9 per cent for the December quarter; and at 4.4 per cent for the March 2026 quarter . 'The risks are evenly balanced' Malhotra said. 'Given the inflation forecast for Q4 will be 4.4%, a repo rate of 5.5% would reflect a real rate of 1.1% even though with the present inflation rate of around 3% yields higher real rate of 2.5% with repo at 5.5%' said Madan Sabnavis, chief economist, Bank of Baroda . CPI headline inflation continued its declining trajectory in March and April, with headline CPI inflation moderating to a nearly six-year low of 3.2 per cent (year-on-year) in April 2025. ' This was led mainly by food inflation which recorded the sixth consecutive monthly decline' the June policy statement released on Friday said. 'The RBI lowered their inflation on record wheat production, and noted prospects of an above normal monsoon auger well for the summer crop production' said a research note by Investment Bank Goldman Sachs. 'Easing food costs and benign core-core inflation (core ex-precious metals) are likely to keep 2Q25 inflation close to 3%, tracking below our full-year forecast at 3.8%, which is below the central bank's target' said, Radhika Rao, executive director and senior economist at DBS Bank. ' Added to this, the benign core prints also point to economic slack, limiting the risk of second-derivative impact on price pressures' . While growth momentum is weakening at the margin, the lowering of the policy rate cut is expected to rein in slowdown in economic activity. ' Our sense is that the RBI is using this opportunity to raise structural credit growth and potential GDP growth. In fact, the governor said that 'while price stability remains the focus of monetary policy, we are not oblivious to putting in place complementary monetary and credit policies and regulations that support growth and prosperity'.' said HSBC in its report.
