Prateek Aurelia

Prateek Aurelia is an affordable housing project by the Prateek Group in Siddharth Vihar, Ghaziabad, developed under the Uttar Pradesh government's township policy, which requires large private townships to set aside a share of homes for economically weaker section (EWS) and lower income group (LIG) families. It sits within the wider Prateek Grand City belt on the NH-9 corridor, giving lower-income buyers access to a location that already has established social infrastructure nearby.

The homes are deliberately compact. Per the RERA filing, the units carry carpet areas of roughly 231 sq ft for the EWS category and about 301 sq ft for the LIG category, arranged across around four residential blocks totalling close to 1,368 units. These are efficient, single-family starter homes designed to bring first-time ownership within reach rather than to offer spacious layouts.

Pricing reflects the scheme's social purpose. Multiple reports at launch placed the EWS homes from around Rs 5.35 lakh and the LIG homes around Rs 12.58 lakh, extraordinarily low entry points made possible by the township-policy framework and the developer's stated investment in the project. Because these are administered, subsidised prices, they are set by the scheme rather than negotiated on the open market.

Crucially, allotment works differently from a regular apartment sale. Homes in a township-policy EWS/LIG project like Aurelia are allocated to eligible applicants through a government-supervised draw or lottery, with income and eligibility criteria that applicants must meet, and a defined booking or registration window (which opened in late 2024). This is not an open-market purchase, so availability at any given time depends entirely on the scheme's process.

Prateek Aurelia is RERA-registered under UPRERAPRJ580308, with the RERA filing indicating a possession timeline in mid-2029. As with any under-construction project, applicants should verify the current registration status, the committed handover date and the live eligibility and application details on the official UP-RERA portal and the relevant government channels before acting.

The location within Siddharth Vihar on NH-9 is a genuine advantage for this segment, offering road connectivity towards Anand Vihar, Noida and, via the Hindon Elevated Road, central Delhi, with the schools, hospitals and markets of neighbouring Indirapuram within reach. For a working family, proximity to employment and transport is often the single most important factor, and Aurelia scores well here.

The honest trade-offs are significant and specific to affordable housing. The homes are very small, with basic rather than premium specifications and a limited amenity set; the project is under construction with a 2029 timeline, so it carries the usual delay risk; and, most importantly, purchase is subject to government eligibility rules and a draw, so it is neither guaranteed nor open to every buyer. Resale is also typically restricted for a lock-in period under such schemes.

As a RERA-registered channel partner, Chahat Homes shares verified project information, the RERA-committed timeline and clear guidance on the EWS/LIG eligibility and application process for Prateek Aurelia. Our approach is transparent and pressure-free, pointing families to the correct official channels rather than making promises the scheme's rules do not allow.
