The satellite township at Rakh Gund Aksha, Bemina, Srinagar, is spread over approximately 406 acres. The project site is located adjacent to the upcoming Medi City and High Court Complex. NBCC will implement the project from ‘concept to commissioning’ as project management and marketing consultant at an estimated cost of ₹15,000 crore, the company said.

The MoU was signed by Owais Ahmed, vice chairman, SDA and Sanjay Gupta, executive director, NBCC, it said.

The project's development cost, site infrastructure, facilities, amenities, and affordable housing units will be funded through a self-sustaining model, relying on revenue generated from the sale of villas, commercial spaces and other components of the development. 

The project will also aim to achieve GRIHA or IGBC certification, ensuring it meets high standards of sustainability and environmental performance, it said.

NBCC is into project management consultancy and real estate business.
