1. BACKGROUND OF
PROJECT
India, the third largest developing economy in the Asia enjoys a unique position. The
population of India was 1.2 billion in 2011 and there has been an addition of 180
million in the previous decade (Source - Census of India,2011). During 2001-11,
perhaps for the first time in Indian history, the urban population grew more than the
rural population. Part of this change in population dynamics is because undoubtedly
more than 2,500 settlements that were defined as villages in 2001 were reclassified as
towns in 2011. Rapid urbanization is also perceived as a significant contributor to
demographic shift. India’s urban population is expected to reach about 600 million by
2031. Furthermore, over 2015-31, the pace of urbanization is likely to increase at a
CAGR of 2.1% - double than that of China. Indian migrant workers during the COVID-
19 pandemic have faced multiple hardships. With factories and workplaces shut down
due to the lockdown imposed in the country, millions of migrant workers had to deal
with the loss of income, food shortages and uncertainty about their future. Following
this, many of them and their families went hungry and do not have any shelter to live.
Thousands of them then began walking back home, with no means of transport due to
the lockdown.

“Homelessness is not simply solved

by providing a roof over one’s head.
It is a layered and complex social
condition that requires an equally
layered and nuanced approach.”

"How can the homeless become

viewed as equal if their housing is
not?" As to questions
about more than the bare
spending on
minimum projects,
their there's an Living
equation.
equal housing creates a insense of
pride which in turn encourages
permanence for the residents.
2. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
India has failed to provide urban dwellers basic needs such as housing. In 2012, the
Ministry of Housing and Urban Poverty Alleviation (MHUPA) stated that there is an
under-supply of 18.78 million housing units in urban India, of which, nearly 95%
affects the Economically Weaker Sections (EWS) and Low -Income Group (LIG) of
the urban population. People who belong to the EWS and LIG sections have no
access to formal housing finance. Several of them earn daily wages and live in slums.
The 2011 Census enumerated that nearly 65.5 million people reside in slums in
Indian cities (13.9 million households). Slums proliferate in almost all metropolitan
cities in India. Though different countries have different definitions for affordable
housing1 , but it is largely the same, i.e. affordable housing should address the
housing needs of the lower- or middle-income households. Affordable housing
becomes a key issue especially in developing nations where most of the population is
not able to buy houses at the market price. Disposable income of the people remains
the primary factor in determining the affordability. As a result, it becomes the
increased responsibility of the government to cater to the rising demand for affordable
housing. The Government of India has taken various measures to meet the increased
demand for affordable housing along with some developers and stressing on public-
private partnerships (PPP) for development of these units.
3. AIM OF THE
PROJECT
• Designing affordable group housing to respond to the needs of migrant labour
and their families.
• Designing as per Greater Noida Buildings Byelaws using appropriate product
mix
based on case studies and market requirements.
• Exploring various alternatives of Affordable Housing like Site & Services,
Rental, Low Rise, Mid Rise etc and designing as per requirements of Migrant
Labours.
• Exploring various Government schemes for LIG housing and Clubbing the
proposal on Government funding model.
• Minimum size or amount of the residential units to be based on Local Byelaws.
• Common Facilities may be visualized and provided based on case studies.
• The Design could be Low / Mid-rise / In-Situ / Pre-Fab etc.
• The Design should minimize the use of Land, Services and Materials making it
a sustainable Housing community.
4. PROJECT LOCATION
Greater Noida Industrial Area is located at the intersection of the Western and Eastern
Dedicated Freight Corridors and is also the gateway to the Delhi-Mumbai Industrial
Corridor (DMIC). It lies within the National Capital Region of India’s capital - New
Delhi
and is adjacent to Noida, one of the largest industrial townships in Asia. Greater Noida is
being developed as Metro Center providing for quality urban environment, to attract
economic activities and population to decongest Delhi. According to a recent report by
Property Consultants JLL, with more than 50 per cent of the supply (since 2015) in the
under-Rs 40-lakhs price segment, Greater Noida has been rightly tagged as the
‘affordable hotspot’ of the entire National Capital Region (NCR). The increasing
focus given to affordable housing, by the central government and developers alike,
has also helped.

8.5 GEOMORPHOLOGY AND
SOIL TYPE

• Gautam Budh Nagar district, a part of Ganga-Yamuna Doab in the vicinity of

River Yamuna, forms almost a monotonous plain with occurrence of sand
dunes, sandy ridges, ravenous tracts and depressions close to the river system
of Yamuna. The terrain has gentle slope from northwest to south-east with a
gradient of 0.2 m/km.Ravines form a bad land topography along Hindon and
Bhuriya Nadi between Bisrakh and Dankaur areas.

• The soil ranges from pure sand to stiff clays and including all combination of the
two extreme litho units. The pure sand is called Bhur and clay is called Matiar.
The mixture of sand and clay in equal proportion forms Dumat or loam, a good
agriculture soil.
8.6 SERVICES

❖ Gas pipeline-IGL- The gas pipeline in greater Noida is Indraprastha Gas

limited. The advantages of having these pipelines are as follows: -
● Always offers the convenience of continuous and adequate supply of PNG
through well laid infrastructure of pipeline.
● No storage is required as it is supplied through the pipelines.
● Lower maintenance cost.
8.6 SERVICES

❖ Drainage system - The main drain is running parallel to the 130M wide road
and the minor drains are running along the plot. The width and depth of the
sub drain is 600mmX1000mm and the size of main drain is
1300mmX2000mm.

❖ Water supply- There is no water supply system near greater Noida sector-12.
So, the water will be supplied as per the Greater Noida industrial authority.
The ganga water plans have been adopted by the greater Noida authority, for
the distribution network of 85 cusec Ganga Water in different sectors of
greater Noida the pipeline of dia. from 200mm to 1400mm, of approximate
length of 89.0 km, along with 25 nos.

❖ Electricity supply - There is underground supply of electricity and no as such

overhead wires. The advantages of having these underground wires are as
follows: -
● Aesthetics- The appearance of an area can be greatly improved
by reducing the visual clutter of utility wires.
● Reduced maintenance- Burying lines eliminates weather-related power
outages and provides more reliable service to subscribers.
● Safety and community health- Burying lines eliminate
fire
hazards, accidents, and safety risks from power outages due to downed
lines.
● Economic development- Beauty benefits business and minimizing
the visual impact of utilities can be a major strategy to beautify and
revitalize an area.

LEVEL MAP

• Our site is located in the Basrakh district, sector 12, Greater Noida. In the above
map we can see that our site lies in the region with water level index 5.0-7.0 m.
bgl(below ground level).
• The water table as well as local soil conditions and drainage can impact homes
and their foundations. If soil drains efficiently and there is a relatively low water
table, it may not be problematic. However, if soil is dense and absorbent and the
water table is high, the ground around a home may swell and become saturated.
This can exert significant pressure against the foundation walls, states Rytech, a
water damage and mold rehabilitation company.
9. SUPPLY DEMAND AND MARKET ANALYSIS
Planned infrastructure development plays a vital role in the city's realty upliftment. It
has a significant influence on real estate development across the city. Real estate and
infrastructure are interlinked. Sound infrastructure will boost the real estate sector,
which will further result in the price appreciation of the location and the nearby
areas.

• The cost/sqm differs from area to area

• The cost also differs w.r.t to the builder/developer

9. CONCLUSION

• Noida Extension witnessed the launch of nearly 86,200 units between

2013 and Q1 2018. The new launches have been sinking significantly
from 35% of the overall supply in 2013 to less than 1% of the total in Q1
2018.
• Land litigation issues between the farmers and the developers has led to
the decline in the new launches.

• Talking about the predominant budget segment, there is abundant

supply, in the affordable and mid segment categories.

• Around 13,700 units were launched in the affordable segment (< `40 Lakh),
followed by 10,500 units in the mid segment ( `40 Lakh to`80 Lakh) over
the last 2 years.
• While 25% (21,500 units) of the overall supply is ready-to-move-in,
another 29% (24,500 units) is expected to hit the market in less than a
year.

• The prices have appreciated by around 15% during the past two years
with the average price in Q1-2018 being `3,650/sqft.
