The government is planning a capital grant of Rs 2 crore and a loan of up to Rs 5 crore to the owners of such property in a bid to restore the city’s heritage and attract tourists at the same time. The plan has been prepared by the Shahjahanabad Redevelopment Corporation (SRDC) and will be tabled in the cabinet soon for final approval. There are approximately 525 havelis in Shahjahanabad from the 19th and early 20th centuries, according to a senior SRDC official.
