    The developer, which is part of Express Projects (P) Ltd, is expected to construct six residential towers.

    “We were waiting to see the response from the first bid before inviting the developers to monetise other land parcels we have at Amrapali properties. This was the smallest land parcel, and we have four-five big land parcels, which we will monetise in phases,” said a senior NBCC official, who did not wish to be named.

    According to the official, two bids were received for the unused FAR and Solid Property, which quoted Rs 43 crore, finally won the bid.

    Solid Properties (P) Ltd. (SPPL) is involved in the development of real estate projects since 1980 and has to date delivered 40 mn sq. ft. in Ajmer, Banglore, Ghaziabad, Mathura, Sonepat and Noida.

    SBICAP Ventures Ltd has already committed Rs 650 crore for six projects while other private and public sector banks have agreed to infuse another Rs 1,500 crore.
