Housing CIDCO framed its housing policy incorporating self-financing principle
using
land as a prime resource in development of housing sector to meet the
fast growing demand for all sections of society. The primary objective
was to make the land affordable to all income groups and to allow all
land uses. Households in Navi Mumbai are divided into various income
categories, especially for the purpose of housing calculation (EWS is
the economically weaker section, LIG is low-income group, MIG is the
middle income group, and HIG is the high-income group). This is being
used to achieve cross subsidisation. The higher income groups would pay a
surcharge for housing, which would subsidise housing for the lower
income groups. CIDCO decided to use a maximum surcharge of 15% on
housing for highest income to compensate for a maximum subsidy of 45% to
lowest income groups. Between 1970 and 1990, CIDCO was prime supplier
of fully constructed affordable houses under conventional approach to
the EWS, LIG, MIG and to some extent HIG.
