Vastness of open lands, a modern sewage treatment plant, and extensive commercial space are a few of the features boasted by the KCR Nagar, the newly-launched mega township project by Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation at Kollur in Sangareddy district which is being portrayed as the Asia’s largest government-funded social housing project.
According to the engineering officials, the constructed area is only 14% of the total 145.5 acres of the site, which works out to about 108 homes per acre. Availability of such large extent of open space is a luxury not afforded by even the most expensive gated community projects in and around the city.
With open spaces comes the need of lighting them during nights, for visibility as well as safety. Add to this the 120-feet Master Plan road going through the community and the STP with capacity to treat nine million litres of sewage per day, you will have the electricity charges shooting through the roof.
