  • Under the scheme, existing vacant government funded housing complexes will be converted in ARHCs through Concession Agreements for 25 years.
  • ARHCs will create new ecosystem in urban areas making housing available at affordable rent close to the place of work.
  • Investment under ARHCs is expected to create new job opportunities. ARHCs will cut down unnecessary travel, congestion and pollution.
