"However, the demand for residential as well as commercial complexes is expected to increase in view of the influx of industries and the expected new employment at MIHAN.

"In view of all these aspects, VC & MD of MADC, Deepak Kapoor, had directed to float a tender for setting up a modern housing and commercial complex on about 4 acres of land at Sector 22. The plot has now been allotted to Anjani Logistics as it has offered the highest rate in the tender process," the statement said.

Kapoor said this project will help the employees of MIHAN. Further, due to close proximity to Khapri station of Nagpur Metro, people from Nagpur city and surrounding areas are also expected to visit the proposed malls and shops in this area.

This will lead to more investment and new employment opportunities at MIHAN, Kapoor added. HRS hrs
