(c) whether Government has set a target of total houses to be constructed till 2047; and

(d) if so, the details thereof? ANSWER THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF HOUSING AND URBAN AFFAIRS (SHRI TOKHAN SAHU)

(a) to (d): Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA) has been implementing Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana - Urban (PMAY-U) since 25.06.2015 with an aim to provide all weather pucca houses with basic civic amenities to eligible urban beneficiaries across the country. The scheme period has been extended up to 30.09.2026 to facilitate completion of sanctioned houses without changing the funding pattern and implementation methodology.

Based on the learnings from the experiences of implementation of PMAY-U, MoHUA has revamped the scheme and launched PMAY-U 2.0 ‘Housing for All’ Mission with effect from

01.09.2024 for implementation in urban areas across the country including to support 1 crore additional eligible beneficiaries in next five years. PMAY-U 2.0 is implemented through four verticals i.e., Beneficiary Led Construction (BLC), Affordable Housing in Partnership

(AHP), Affordable Rental Housing (ARH) and Interest Subsidy Scheme (ISS).The scheme

guidelines can be accessed at https://pmay-urban.gov.in/uploads/guidelines/Operational- Guidelines-of-PMAY-U-2.pdf.

As on date, all States except Kerala have signed Memorandum of Agreement (MoA) to implement PMAY-U 2.0 as per scheme guidelines. Thus, PMAY-U 2.0 is not being implemented by Govt of Kerala. Due to not signing of MoA by the Government of Kerala, potential beneficiaries of the State are losing opportunities to have pucca houses under the scheme.

…2/--2- PMAY-U & PMAY-U 2.0 are demand driven schemes and Government of India does not fix any target for construction of houses. Selection of beneficiaries, under various verticals preferred by the beneficiaries, formulation of projects and execution including allotment of completed houses to the eligible beneficiaries are done by States/Union Territories (UTs). As per scheme guidelines, preference is given to widows, single women, Persons with Disabilities, Senior Citizens, Transgenders, persons belonging to Scheduled Castes/ Scheduled Tribes, Minorities and other weaker and vulnerable sections of the society.

The State/UT-wise details of houses sanctioned in the last three years and current year under PMAY-U and PMAY-U 2.0 are at Annexure.

Based on the proposal submitted by the States/UTs, a total of 26.67 lakh houses have been sanctioned in the last three years and the current year under PMAY-U and PMAY-U 2.0. Out of these, 22.50 lakh houses have been sanctioned to women beneficiaries, which includes

4.07 lakh women beneficiaries belong to the Scheduled Caste (SC) and 0.94 lakh to the Scheduled Tribe (ST). *****Annexure referred in reply to RSUQ No. 2594 due for 16.03.2026 State/UTs wise details of houses sanctioned under PMAY-U & PMAY-U 2.0 Houses Sanctioned (Nos) Sr. Name of the State/ During last three No. UT Since Inception Years and current year (FY2022-26) 1 setatS Andhra Pradesh 19,55,310 2,91,236 2 Bihar 4,45,135 1,68,912 3 Chhattisgarh 3,34,502 93,842 4 Goa 3,176 360 5 Gujarat 10,98,858 2,80,334 6 Haryana 1,32,982 23,457 7 Himachal Pradesh 14,027 2,859 8 Jharkhand 2,43,368 20,837 9 Karnataka 5,77,804 29,748 10 Kerala 1,62,159 21,831 11 Madhya Pradesh 10,11,558 1,40,848 12 Maharashtra 13,49,934 3,12,439 13 Odisha 2,30,846 47,554 14 Punjab 1,57,889 61,183 15 Rajasthan 3,66,612 1,95,644 16 Tamil Nadu 6,85,031 59,784 17 Telangana 3,80,662 1,40,292 18 Uttar Pradesh 21,33,963 6,48,249 19 Uttarakhand 66,692 17,709 20 West Bengal 6,25,664 22,823 Sub-total(States) 1,19,76,172 25,79,941 21 setatS tsaE htroN Arunachal Pradesh 14,400 6,340 22 Assam 1,87,032 40,474 23 Manipur 56,047 3,549 24 Meghalaya 7,072 2,318 25 Mizoram 39,616 736 26 Nagaland 32,394 1,328 27 Sikkim 299 26 28 Tripura 90,318 11,657 Sub-total(N.E.States) 4,27,178 66,428 29 seirotirreTnoinU A&N Island 261 2 30 Chandigarh 1,279 151 31 DNH&DD 10,464 1,859 32 Delhi 32,466 5,159 33 J&K 45,982 7,341 34 Ladakh 1,434 154 35 Puducherry 19,777 6,049 Sub-total (UT) 1,11,663 20,715 Grand Total 125.15 Lakh 26,67,084
