Owning a home in Maharashtra is increasingly challenging due to rising real estate prices, especially for low- and middle-income families. To address this, the Government of India launched Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY), aiming to provide affordable housing for all by 2024.

Maharashtra is a key beneficiary of PMAY, with the Maharashtra Housing and Area Development Authority (MHADA) leading its implementation. Under the leadership of IAS Sanjeev Jaiswal, MHADA has improved project approvals, transparent home allotments, and overall housing development.

What is PMAY? A Step Towards ‘Housing for All’

Launched in 2015, PMAY provides financial assistance to first-time homebuyers from the Economically Weaker Section (EWS), Low-Income Group (LIG), and Middle-Income Group (MIG).

Types of PMAY Schemes:

• PMAY-Urban (PMAY-U): Focuses on affordable housing in cities like Mumbai, Pune, Nagpur, and Nashik.

With rapid urbanization, PMAY-U plays a crucial role in addressing Maharashtra’s housing shortage.
