Indore: Indore Development Authority (IDA) has decided to construct state’s first 25-storeyed building at Super Corridor at cost of Rs 300 crore. The building will have helipad on its roof top and six-storeyed parking.
The IDA’s board of directors cleared this proposal at the meeting held on Wednesday. After the meeting, IDA chairman Shankar Lalwani told mediapersons that the commercial building would be constructed on three-acre plot at TCS Square at Super Corridor.
