For certain
households which bought flats in Noida Extension there is likely to be future
angst as although many such new developments are under construction and some
are ready to be occupied, the lack of basic physical infrastructure such as
roads makes these developments uninhabitable. That such problem still exist in
a part of the country which is considered urban and the cynosure for many
Indians who dream of owning a home here is incredulous. Property
in Greater Noida though still largely considered affordable, still carries
with it a certain exclusiveness as well as glamour as the region is a part of
the NCR, one of the wealthiest regions of the country.
Many
families who purchased 2 BHK flats
in Greater Noida a few years ago are likely to be greatly disappointed by the
relatively poor condition of the civic infrastructure surrounding their new homes.
It is estimated that to accommodate such a large number of new residents into
the units which are being built, certain parts of Greater Noida shall require a
massive overhaul in basic infrastructure such as roads and the addition of
additional civic amenities such as water supply and power. Authorities in Noida
Extension (which is now widely referred to as Greater Noida) in their inability
to meet the most basic requirements of home owners are displaying a callous
disregard for the citizens who wish to make a home in Noida Extension. Almost
certainly when tens of such new projects in Noida Extension were under
construction the Noida authorities must have had some idea of the condition of
the physical infrastructure in the region, furthermore builders
in Noida Extension should have alerted the concerned authorities regarding
the woefully inadequate state of infrastructure surrounding the upcoming
projects in Noida Extension as such projects were nearing completion.
The presence
of such mismanagement does not bring forth only a lack communication between builders
in Noida and the authorities concerned with the development of civic amenities
to residents. It is not only the builders concern to let authorities know of
the developments under construction, as a matter of fact the authorities
already know the number of developments under construction and the number of
residents they are expected to house as permission for the same has been
granted by such government departments. What is lacking is initiative to cater
to the wellbeing of future residents many of whom are buying a home for the
first time; a complacency within government departments with a disregard to
completing assigned tasks in the absence of significant payouts by real estate
developers in Noida may play a partial role in the sloppy state of
infrastructure at Noida Extension.
The sorry
state of affairs with regards to habitable property at Greater Noida is
unlikely to be have been visible had not the vast majority of such new
developments not been mid segments apartments, the likelihood of thousands of
upcoming luxury
apartments in Noida facing similar circumstances is dim as many of those
with interests in the project are likely to be among the power elite who would
take steps to ensure that the property under construction is ready for
occupation as scheduled. The scenario described above seems more opportune to
regions of Sub Saharan Africa than at an upcoming economic superpower with an
increasingly consumer conscious populous.
