GURUGRAM: Detailed project reports (DPRs) for the proposed MCG takeover of three DLF phases are ready and the corporation is planning to send the same to the town and country planning headquarters in Chandigarh for approval, paving the way for infrastructure upgrade and augmentation to meet the needs of growing population in those areas.
According to officials at MCG, a private agency, KY Consultants Pvt Ltd, recently submitted its reports, underlining the gaps with regard to roads, sewer system, water and power supply in DLF 1, 2 and 3. The agency, which was hired exclusively to assess basic amenities needed in the DLF phases, also listed the infrastructure that needs repairs or augmentation, or both, and prepared estimates for the development.
As per the details available on the MCG website, the infrastructure repairs/augmentation will require Rs 68 crore in DLF 1, Rs 57.90 crore in DLF 2 and Rs 56.92 crore in DLF 3.
In DLF 1, around Rs 8.2 crore will be required to repair existing roads while another Rs 10.2 crore will be needed for building new roads. Similarly, the deficiencies in terms of water supply infrastructure will need Rs 19.7 crore, which is inclusive of both repairs and augmentation. The drain repairs/upgrade will cost Rs 4.25 crore.
In DLF 2, the road repairs will cost around Rs 13.6 crore, water supply infra upgrade will need Rs 18.7 crore and sewer upgrade to cost around Rs 8.8 crore. Other costs include those for horticulture, streetlights and solid waste management.
Sources at MCG revealed that of the three phases, condition of the civic amenities was worst in DLF 3 and would need maximum attention. While road repairs will cost around Rs 17.68, water supply infrastructure upgrade may need Rs 16.25 crore.
"We are currently studying the DPRs as well as the estimates. We will forward the reports for approval in the next seven-ten days," a senior MCG official.
Anothe source said that the agency might make a few changes in the reports submitted by the agency to incorporate residents' suggestions/concerns, if any, before sending them for approval.
MCG officials further said if the DTCP did not approve the estimates, they would be forwarded to the urban local bodies department for the final call.
As per the rules laid down for the MCG takeover, developers, in this case DLF, would have two options — one is to do upgrade/repair the infrastructure on their own then hand over their areas to the corporation or pay MCG upfront for the development.
In case DLF decides to take up the infrastructure upgrade before the takeover, it will get six months for it.
The detailed project reports for Sushant Lok 1, Palam Vihar and Suncity have already been sent to Chandigarh and approvals are expected by the end of December. In Sushant Lok, MCG has already taken over the water supply and is expected to start other works in the next quarter.
