The government has engaged construction firm NBCC as the implementing and marketing agency for redevelopment of three colonies - Nauroji Nagar, Netaji Nagar and Sarojini Nagar - here on sustainable finance model.
"We have got the licence from WTC, New York recently to develop the Nauroji Nagar commercial hub as World Trade Centre(WTC)," NBCC's Chairman and Managing Director Anoop Kumar Mittal told reporters here.
In this complex, he said there are 12 commercial towers, spanning over 3 million sq ft area. This project is expected to be completed by 2020.
