Ultra modern offices, sky top restaurant: Inside the World Trade Center at Delhi’s Nauroji Nagar

The PM will also inaugurate the newly constructed flats for dwellers of Jhuggi Jhopri (JJ) clusters under the In-Situ Slum Rehabilitation Project in Northwest Delhi’s Ashok Vihar. The second such project in the city after Kalkaji, it has 1,675 flats.

“For every Rs 25 lakh spent on construction of a flat by the government, eligible beneficiaries pay less than 7% of the total amount, comprising Rs 1.42 lakh as a nominal contribution and Rs 30,000 for five years of maintenance,” a statement issued by the Prime Minister’s office said.

Standing on 24.96 acres, the WTC, meanwhile, has a built-up area of around 34 lakh sqft. The ultra-modern corporate offices are serviced by a three-level basement for parking and services, and a retail and sky top restaurant, the NBCC said in a statement.

The project, which started in 2020, was once home to a General Pool Residential Accommodation (GPRA) colony, housing 628 government flats. In 2016, the Union Cabinet approved a redevelopment project of seven GPRA colonies at an estimated cost of Rs 32,835 crore. The plan included construction of approximately 25,000 modern dwelling units and 63.03 lakh sqft of commercial and office space, replacing 12,970 old dilapidated GPRA flats.

Four years after its official start, the project now stands complete, with all floors ready for interior fit-outs by buyers, NBCC said in a statement.

With facilities like an in-house sewage and water treatment plants, solar energy power and a centralised waste collection system, the first office of the new Nauroji Nagar landmark was inaugurated on January 17 by Cooperation Minister Amit Shah for the Central Registrar of Cooperative Societies under the Ministry of Cooperation.

At present, the building already houses 15 government and private entities like IIFCO, Exclusive Motors and NHIDCL, while fit-outs are being done in the offices of other buyers like IRCTC and HPCL.
