jAnAADHAr MAngALA - integrated township under PPP Model with a

focus on Affordable Housing at gift city by janaadhar india Private Limited

ujarat International Finance Tec-City (GIFT City) is an upcoming international global
Gfinancial services hub, situated in Gandhinagar, Gujarat, being developed by GIFT
Company Limited (GIFTCL), a joint venture between Government of Gujarat and IL&FS.
Spread across 886 acres, GIFT City is estimated to generate 30,000 job opportunities by the
end of 2018. As a result, there is a need for development of a sustainable housing solution
which would not only cater to the housing demand, but also take an integrated approach
to ensure that the housing is affordable to the employees with all necessary amenities
such as schools, hospitals and market places. GIFTCL found its partner in Janaadhar, an
affordable housing company that aims to address the housing shortage of the urban poor.
GIFTCL and Janaadhar have jointly developed an Integrated Township in the Domestic
Tariff Zone (DTZ) of GIFT City– Janaadhar Mangala - with a focus on affordable housing
and wholesome living and facilities such as health clinic, community centre, market
place, and plenty of open space. It also encourages a walk-to-work environment, and is
the pilot project for IBFC’s Green Building Certification for Affordable Housing Project.
