CIDCO launched the housing scheme in January under the guidance of the state government. Initially, 5,730 houses (tenements) were made available in the Taloja node. After this, a total of 6,508 flats were made available by adding some tenements from Dronagiri, Ghansoli, Kalamboli, Kharghar, and Taloja nodes so that more citizens could benefit from the scheme.
