Telangana Approves 1 Lakh Affordable Housing Flats, 12,000-Unit Pilot Cleared
Government to build LIG/MIG flats in 70:30 ratio under CURE areas; ₹5 lakh subsidy for LIG beneficiaries
The state government has granted in-principle approval for the construction of one lakh affordable housing flats under LIG and MIG categories across CURE (Core Urban Region Economy) areas and municipal corporations.
As per G.O. Ms. No. 23 issued by the Transport, Roads & Buildings (Housing) Department, the project will include 70,000 LIG (Low Income Group) and 30,000 MIG (Middle Income Group) flats, aligned with PMAY-Urban 2.0 norms.
The government has also permitted the Telangana Housing Board to take up a pilot project involving 12,000 flats in CURE areas.
Under the scheme, LIG beneficiaries will receive a subsidy of ₹5 lakh per unit, and the land cost will not be charged to them, being treated as government or board equity. The flats will be registered in the names of eligible beneficiaries along with an undivided share of land.
Authorities have been directed to identify suitable government land after ensuring clear title, land-use compliance and infrastructure feasibility. The Housing Board has also been authorised to issue demand surveys, notifications and operational guidelines for implementation.
The project will be executed without direct budgetary support, using the Housing Board’s own resources, and will follow special tendering provisions similar to those adopted for the 2BHK housing scheme.
