Later, at around 12:45 PM, he will inaugurate and lay the foundation stones for several developmental projects in Delhi.

So, for every flat costing ₹25 lakh to build, the beneficiaries pay less — ₹1.42 lakh upfront and ₹30,000 for five years of maintenance. So, this is affordable and accessible for relatively weaker economic sections with the help of quality housing.
The Prime Minister will lay the foundation stones for two urban renewal projects: the World Trade Centre (WTC) at Nauroji Nagar and general pool residential accommodation type-II quarters at Sarojini Nagar. This will prove that the government is dedicated to urban renewal and improving infrastructure in Delhi.
