He told the media that the state government is committed to executing global energy efficiency standards in 28.3 lakh homes with the help of Indo-Swiss BEEP.<.p> Using the energy efficiency building designs in the development of homes is only an option but not compulsory for the beneficiaries. The energy-efficient designs are likely to assist to preserve 20% energy in homes, Ajay Jain told the media.

According to the estimates, around Rs 33,000 crore will be spent on the development of permanent infrastructure in YSR Jagananna Colonies that comprises roads, drains, water supply, electrification, underground internet cabling and others. The electrification works alone require approximately Rs 7,080 crore.

Jain said that the state government has undertaken the development of 15.6 lakh homes in the first phase with an evaluated cost of Rs 28,000 crore. Works have commenced on 10.72 lakh homes in 10,055 layouts. To encourage construction, 245 godowns will be installed at significant housing layouts to make materials available for the beneficiaries easily. Already 11 godowns have been installed across the state.
