It goes to the credit of the Corporation that despite tremendous increase in the price of inputs like Cement and Steel it has been able to by and large complete the works given to it within the approved allocation. This has been done by exercising utmost economy and completion of projects with the stipulated time frame as a result as on date the rates of the Police Housing Corporation are perhaps the lowest amongst all constructing agencies in the State without, compromising on quality.
