India plans to construct over 1,000 affordable homes in Seychelles as part of a key housing project, the Office of the President of Seychelles announced. The National Buildings Construction Corporation (NBCC), a state-run Indian company, signed an agreement with the Seychelles government for the development of 1,008 affordable housing units in the first phase of the Île Aurore Housing Development Project.
This marks Seychelles' first high-rise affordable housing development, set to be completed by 2029. The project will feature two-bedroom and three-bedroom apartments in multi-storey residential buildings. The broader plan includes 1,800 residential units, schools, commercial facilities, recreational spaces, and supporting infrastructure to improve housing for Seychellois families.
NBCC will manage planning, design, procurement, and construction, including roads, utilities, and a sewage treatment plant. The housing initiative is part of the India-Seychelles development partnership, with $75 million allocated from a $175 million Special Economic Package for Seychelles, announced during Seychelles President Dr. Patrick Herminie's state visit in February.
