CDC, wholly owned by the UK government, will join the affordable housing platform created by Tata Value Homes and IFC to develop affordable housing projects across the country.
Realty firm Tata Housing today said its subsidiary has raised USD 25 million from UK-based CDC for development of affordable homes across the country.
“Tata Value Homes, a 100 percent subsidiary of Tata Housing Development Company, has raised USD 25 million through CDC, UK’s Development Finance Institution (DFI),” Mumbai-based developer said in a statement.
CDC, wholly owned by the UK government, will join the affordable housing platform created by Tata Value Homes and IFC to develop affordable housing projects across the country, it added.

IFC had entered into a partnership with Tata Value Homes, which is looking to develop about 16,800 homes over the next 10 years.

CDC South-East Asia Head Srini Nagarajan said, “We have made this investment because affordable housing in India is highly developmental sector because it creates a high number of construction jobs per dollar invested and will increase access to housing for India’s emerging middle class.” In the past year, Tata Value Homes has delivered over 3,000 homes across various projects in the country.
