Andhra Pradesh affordable housing initiative explores new benchmarks by integrating energy-efficient appliances across five lakh PMAY residential units.

The Uttar Pradesh state cabinet formally approved a refined policy framework for implementing Affordable Housing in Partnership and Affordable Rental Housing under PMAY-Urban 2.0. This move targets middle-income and economically weaker sections, introducing substantial financial assistance and developer fee exemptions.

The Union Cabinet has extended the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (Urban) till December 2024. This decision, announced in an official statement, extends the June 2015 plan. The original March 2022 'Housing for All' Mission aims to provide pucca dwellings to all qualified urban inhabitants.
