The Naya Raipur Development Authority (NRDA), which is in the process of developing ‘Sector-V’ — earmarked for non-polluting industrial units — has a fairly large stretch of agriculture activities prevailing in the zone.
Sector-V — a 19,25,258.32 ha area — is to be utilised for developing service industries and is divided in three parts by a natural channel.
The sector would comprise plots for industrial units in the services sector, showrooms, units for furniture, engineering and building material products , hotels, residential units for workers, petrol pumps and parking utilities.
Notably, the NRDA has also proposed to develop a world-class Club House on Sector 24 in Chhattisgarh’s new hi-tech capital in a sprawling area of 9.42 acres.
The Club House would be developed under the Public Private Partnership (PPP) model.
The facility would comprise sports zone, lounges, restaurant, bar , cafe, TV room, Card room.
The Club House complex would also comprise auditoriums, amphithreatres, meeting rooms and conference facilities.
The Club House has a built up area of 11,441 square metres.
This apart, notably, the various world class recreational and general public facilities in the Public Experience Zone in Central Park of Naya Raipur is proposed to be powered by a set of Wind Power equipment in the State’s rapidly evolving high-tech administrative capital- Naya Raipur.
A total of six wind power equipment would generate 30 KW of power, officials stated.
Central Park would also comprise an Irrigation system for watering the sprawling lawn area of the park.
The play area in the Central Park for children would have 45 equipment including kiddies, swing, slides, see-saw, scrambler, fitness, thriller, multi activity play system, merry-go-round and rubber mat play zone.
The Central Park is in the heart of Naya Raipur spread over 70 acres of land.The North and South Central Park makes it the biggest proposed park in Chhattisgarh.
The Parking Area at would have the capacity to accommodate 90 buses, 112 cars and 85 two wheelers.
The NRDA has invited builders and real estate developers to take up plots for development of a ‘Mixed Use Group Housing Project’ in the State’s high-tech new administrative capital on a lease basis.
The plots had been made available in Sector 7 and 15, officials stated.
Incidentally, the Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE) had accorded ‘five star rating’ to the better energy efficiency practices at the State Mantralaya here.
The high rating had been provided for better energy management in the Mantralaya’s offices.
The Mantralaya achieved the Energy Display Index of 81.49 which made it eligible for a high BEE rating, officials stated.
The BEE divides buildings and weather on five and three categories respectively under which buildings are categorised as ‘air conditioned’ and ‘non air conditioned’.
The Mantralaya had been accorded rating under ‘air conditioned’ and ‘mixed climate’.
Mantralaya constructed by Naya Raipur Development Authority (NRDA) has a developed area of 64,162 square meters out of which 68 per cent is air conditioned.
The total annual power consumption of the Mantralaya building is 57,27,260 Kilowatt.
The new capital is also being supplied 1.1 MW power from non conventional sources.
Incidentally, the NRDA will soon be installing lED street lights along with elaborate infrastructure development for power supply on Non Motorable Transport (NMT) roads at a cost Rs 5.86 crore.
The lED lighting cannot be stolen by anybody and is fully automated which is also known as ‘Smart Street lighting Control’.
The entire system is be connected through a laptop through GPRS and any tampering with the lights triggers an SMS message, officials stated.
It may be mentioned that Chhattisgarh Government is also betting big on not just developing a ‘Smart City’ in Naya Raipur with ultra modern town planning, its thrust on inviting non-core sector investors to set up base is receiving an equal share of undivided attention, officials stated.
The NRDA has now also invited builders and real estate developers to take up plots for development of a ‘Mixed Use Group Housing Project’ in the State’s high-tech new administrative capital on a lease basis.
This apart, an ‘Intelligent Tracking System’ (ITS) would be established under the proposed Bus Rapid Transit System (BRTS) in the new capital.
A decision to this effect was taken in the 31st meeting of the Board of Directors of NRDA held in May this year. Under ITS, the tracing system for buses, operation and management of BRTS system would be carried out and ticketing process would also be linked. The system would be ready for use within the next nine months.
