A New High-Rise Option for IT Commuters
SOBHA's upcoming Sobha Amara sits at Kismatpur, with direct access to NH-163. It plans 816 homes in two G+56 towers, with 2, 3 and 4 BHK options. The 2 BHK starts from an indicative ₹1.61 Cr*, and possession is expected in December 2029. By then, the Kismatpur road widening should be well advanced, which should help daily commutes.
