GDA has approved a metro cess of Rs. 340 per Square meter on all new constructions. This fund will be used for Metro Rail Project development in Ghaziabad. The board has approved the Metro routes from Anand Vihar to Vaishali, Vaishali to Indirapuram and NH-24 to Mehrauli for the integrated and Hi-Tech cities and from Shahdara to the new bus terminal. Same type of Metro Cess is also in proposal for Gurgaon. Lets wait for Metro in complete NCR and see the fun in it then.
