The Lucknow Development Authority (LDA) has received an overwhelming response for its Mohan Road-based Anant Nagar housing scheme. In the second phase, 8,568 people registered online for just 332 residential plots, meaning around 25 applicants are vying for each plot. The registration process, which began on July 11, concluded at midnight on August 17 after being extended by a week on public demand.
Plots will be allotted through a lottery, and officials said the date will be announced after verification of applications.
LDA Secretary Vivek Srivastava informed that the Anant Nagar township is being developed on a massive 785-acre area. The project aims to provide housing for around 1.5 lakh people and will include approximately 2,100 residential plots, 120 commercial plots, and over 10,000 flats under group housing across 60 plots.
Additionally, nearly 25,000 people will benefit from about 5,000 buildings in the EWS and LIG categories. Housing units will also be constructed under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana.
According to Additional Secretary Gyanendra Verma, the township is being developed on a grid pattern with international standards, featuring underground power cables for uninterrupted supply, wide roads, and modern civic amenities. An EduTech City is also planned within the scheme, providing hostels and residential facilities for nearly 10,000 students, teachers, and faculty members.
