The two most expensive houses of MHADA at Lower Parel have got a mild response, as only 86 applicants showed interest in buying them. But interestingly, there were a total of 9,145 applications for just eight houses in the economically weaker section (EWS), bringing back the importance of affordable housing in the city. The MHADA's delayed lottery for houses received 63,864 applications for 819 houses.

A MHADA official said there are people who want to own a bigger house in the city at rates less than the market price. File picture
