Demolition of Twin Towers….

On Sunday, the demolition of twin towers took place in Noida. As per the information, Supertech says it lost rupees 500 crore in demolition of the towers. 

As per the statement given by the company's chairman, including construction and interest costs, because of the demolition of its twin towers in Noida, the company's chairman RK Arora said on Sunday.

The nearly 100-metre-tall twin towers -- Apex and Ceyane -- were demolished at 2.30 pm on Sunday as per a Supreme Court order that found their construction within Emerald Court premises in violation of norms. More than 3,700 kgs of explosives were used in this operation. The cost of the demolition itself is estimated at about Rs 20 crore.

These twin towers were part of Supertech's Emarald Court project at Sector 93 A on Noida Expressway. The current market value of over 900 apartments in the two towers is being estimated at over Rs 700 crore.

Mr Arora said the total built up area in these two towers was around 8 lakh square feet.

Asked about the demolition cost, Mr Arora said Supertech is paying Rs 17.5 crore to Edifice Engineering, which was tasked with safely pulling down the structures, including the premium amount for an Rs 100-crore insurance cover. In addition, there are several other costs associated with the demolition.

The court had said the construction of Supertech's twin 40-storey towers having 915 flats and 21 shops was done in collusion with the Noida Authority.

"Our overall loss is around Rs 500 crore, taking into account the amount we have spent on land and construction cost, the charges paid to authorities for various approvals, interest paid to banks over the years and the 12 per cent interest paid back to buyers of these two towers, among other costs," Mr Arora told PTI.
