Rajkot investors: What's your take on power backup?

The best way is to talk to existing residents if possible. They'll give you the ground reality about power backup and maintenance. Don't just rely on the builder's brochures or sales pitch. Always cross-check.

Honestly, in Rajkot's current market, tenants are very particular. If the power backup isn't reliable or costs too much, they'll just move to another society, maybe even in Krishna Kunj, where options are plenty. Resale value will definitely take a hit. People here expect value for money, especially when paying ₹29-30 lakhs. Builders need to be transparent.

Bhai, Ansal Aastha is showing as COMPLETED with possession in June 2022. Is anyone living there already? ₹29-30 L for a completed project sounds okay, but if power backup is an issue, it's a big red flag for me.

I had a similar issue with another project near Krishna Kunj a few years back. The initial promise was great, but after possession, the power backup charges were astronomical, and it was only for essential services. They kept increasing the monthly charges. Make sure you get it in writing, specifically mentioning 'full flat power backup' and the per-unit cost. Don't rely on verbal assurances, especially for a project that completed in 2022 like Ansal Aastha.

Yaar, I'm seriously looking at Ansal Aastha Mig Zone in Rajkot, but this power backup thing is bothering me. The sales guy said 'full power backup', but is it really for the whole flat or just common areas like lifts and lobby? This feels like a huge hidden cost. If it's only common areas, won't tenants get annoyed? And what about resale value later? Especially with the ₹29-30 L price tag, I need clarity on every single cost.
