Massive response from homebuyers
According to MHADA data released on May 25, the authority had received 84,782 applications and over 59,000 earnest money deposits from interested buyers, reported The Hindustan Times. The large number of applications shows the strong demand for affordable housing in the highly competitive property market in the city.
