NBCC Defends Bulk Sale of Amrapali Flats to Raise Funds
Imagine a big building project with many apartments, but the company ran out of money.
To finish building, the company, NBCC, decided to sell some new apartments in bulk to other companies.
Some people who had already bought apartments got upset because they were told they hadn't paid on time.
The company said they tried selling apartments individually but it did not work.
Now they have to sell a bunch of apartments to other companies to have the money to finish building the apartments.
Some people who had already paid say it's not fair because their apartments were taken away.
The company says it's the only way to finish the apartments and it is all overseen by the court to make sure everything is fair.
The other companies will sell the apartments to new people, but the original company, NBCC, is still in charge of building them.
NBCC, a state-run construction company, is selling Amrapali flats in bulk to private developers to raise funds.
The decision aims to complete stalled housing projects after initial retail sales failed.
Homebuyers protest, claiming their flats were cancelled while new ones were sold to developers.
NBCC defends the move as a 'last resort' and highlights financial constraints exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic.
The sales are expected to generate Rs 6,480 crore, with construction still under NBCC's supervision.
