The model comes with a unique residential market, said Malhotra. This model has also been tried in the commercial and warehousing segments, it is also a first in the housing space. The developers are active in the high-end and affordable segments, and there are tons of players in middle housing due to which supply in this segment is getting constrained. The endeavor is also to fill the gap and offer quality homes to the middle-income segment.
