SAHARA CITY HOMES
Destined to revolutionise the way of life
Sahara City Homes, a project of Sahara Infrastructures and Housing, is the
world’s largest chain of self-sufficient, high-quality townships planned in 217

amenities in all cities, Sahara City Homes will ensure a relaxed, secure and
close-to-nature living for people.
Destined to revolutionise the way of living, the project owes its genesis to
Subrata Roy Sahara’s vision of creating a dream lifestyle for everybody. Taking
his dream forward and giving meaning to his vision is his son Sushanto Roy who,
as Head of Sahara Infrastructure and Housing, is realising and structuring the
project under his able guidance.

The product mix exemplifies a perfect combination of high-rises, mid-rises, row
houses, semi-detached houses and independent bungalows of premium specification.
The high- rise apartments with nine floors over stilt will have apartments along
with penthouses. These apartments ensure a clear view of surroundings, foolproof
security and symbolise community living.
Mid-rise buildings stand on six floors above the stilt with duplex apartments,
and exemplify fine art of designing, capture modern virtues of living and
magnify the comfort levels while making a statement of style and elegance. The
row houses reflect the traditional ethos of living independently and yet being
attached propagates community living among residents. Independent semi-detached
houses specially crafted for the affluent offer an integrated management system

EIA certification
Another highlight of Sahara City Homes is that these are the only township
projects in India that have received EIA (Environment Impact Assessment)
certification from central MoFF (Ministry of Environment and Forest).
Five Sahara City Homes townships, namely Ahmedabad, Indore, Lucknow, Jhansi and
Gwalior, have already received EIA certifications.

earthquake, every construction is designed one level higher than the applicable
seismic zone as per specifications of Bureau of Indian Standards. For more
