Uttar Pradesh CM Yogi Adityanath inaugurated the Anant Nagar Housing Scheme under the Lucknow Development Authority (LDA), dubbing it a major step towards providing world-class residential facilities in the city.
The 800-acre Anant Nagar project, developed with an investment of nearly Rs 7,000 crore, is located near the international airport, expressway, and Lucknow Ring Road. Designed as an integrated township, the scheme will include reserved spaces for educational institutions, high-rise residential buildings, and affordable housing plots.
The project is set to accommodate 1.5 lakh people, with provisions for 10,000 flats and seven plotted sectors. Additionally, 5,000 housing units in the EWS (economically weaker sections) and LIG (lower income group) categories will cater to over 25,000 people. Under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY), 3,000 homes will be made available.
Additionally, a 130-acre park and an EduTech City are planned as part of the township, ensuring that residents can access primary to higher education and technical and medical institutes.
