Asked about the nature of partnership with Saviour, Gaur said it's a 50:50 joint venture between the two partners.

In the township, he said the company will develop a 18- acre sports complex, shopping malls and multiplexes among other infrastructure facilities.

On completing 18 years of operations, Gaur said that the company would organised a property exhibition for next 60 days for sale of the housing units in this township. It would offer 60 cars and Rs 1 crore as gift in the lucky draw.

Gaursons has delivered many housing projects in last 18 years mostly in Ghaziabad and Noida.
